This is a fun card and pretty easy and straight forward to make. I have mentioned before but I love my birds, so this paper is one of my favorites. I feed the birds daily and I get a warbler every once in a while, but that is maybe once a year if I am lucky that I get to see one so at least I can make a card with them on it.
To create this card, you just need a few things:
- Daffodil Delight card stock (Stampin’ Up)
- Blueberry Bushel card stock (Stampin’s Up)
- White card stock
- Nests of Winter designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
- Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder (Stampin’ Up)
- Framed Florets stamp set
- Blueberry Bushel ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Daffodil Delight ink (Stampin’ Up)
- Blue cord
- Sponge
- Paper trimmer
- Scissors
- Adhesive of choice
- Pop dots
With your Daffodil Delight card stock, cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”. Take your Blueberry Bushel card stock and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and cut a piece to 1 ½” x 1 ¾” for the label. Now with your white card stock cut a piece to 3 ¾” x 5” and another for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼ inch and one for the label to 1 3/8” x 1 5/8”. Get your Nest of Winter designers series paper pack and find the paper that has the birds on it and cut out one of the warblers, which is the blue and yellow bird.
Take the Birch Wood embossing folder and your white piece measuring 3 ¾” x 5” and emboss. Take your Daffodil Delight ink and your sponge and sponge all four edges of your embossed white piece. With your blue cord, tie a piece around the white embossed piece and tie into a knot or bow. Adhere that to the Blueberry Bushel piece cut to 4” x 5 ¼” and then adhere that to the front of your card base. Take the bird you cut out and adhere to the front of your card toward the upper left corner.
With your Framed Florets stamp set find the “For a special person for a special friend” greeting and the Blueberry Bushel ink and stamp on the small piece of white you cut earlier. Adhere that to the small piece of Bluberry Bushel you cut and adhere that to the lower right corner of the front of your card.
Take the last piece of white you cut for the inside of your card and with the “Wishes for a beautiful birthday” greeting stamp and your Blueberry Bushel ink stamp for your inside greeting. Then with your Blueberry Bushel ink and your sponge, sponge all four edges and adhere that to the inside of your card.
That is your Nests of Winter Warbler card and a great birthday card for anyone.
