Nested Friends

 

I fell in love with this bird set Nested Friends in the 2023 January-April Mini Catalog on page 25.  It comes as a bundle with the Nested Friends Dies, so it makes it easier to design your cards.  I also used the Framed Florets Dies which is also another favorite for mine.  I was inspired by a card from Amy K but I changed the colors.

Stamp Set:  Nested Friends

Cardstock:  Tahitian Tide, Basic White, Flowers & More DSP

Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento

Stampin’ Blends:  Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Petal Pink, Tahitian Tide, Soft Suede

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Nested Friends Dies, Framed Florets Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, 2022-2024 In-Color Matte Decorative Dots

 

1.     The base of the card is Tahitian Tide cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 11 and scored at 5-1/2” in the middle.

2.    The second layer is Basic White cardstock cut at 4” x 5-1/4”.  The third layer is Flowers & More DSP cut at 3-3/4” x 5.  Adhere the two layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3.    Die cut the large Framed Florets Die from Basic White cardstock. Adhere to the front of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Add the Basic White oval die-cut with the Framed Florets Die with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

4.    Ink up the nest stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  Color it in with the light Crumb Cake Blend.  Color the leaves with the Old Olive Blend.

5.    Ink up the tree branch with Tuxedo Black Memento and color in with the Soft Suede Blends. Color the leaves with Old Olive Blends

6.    Ink up the bird with Tuxedo Black Memento and color him in with Petal Pink and Tahitian Tide.

7.    Die-cut the branch, nest, and bird with the Nested Friends Dies.

8.    Attach the tree branch with Dimensionals cut in smaller pieces.  Add the nest with Dimensionals.  Add the bird with Glue Dots into the nest.

9.    Ink up the sentiment “Birthday Wishes” with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Basic White cardstock.  Die-cut with the Stylish Shapes circle.  Attach with Dimensionals.

10.  Add three Tahitian Tide Decorative Dots.
