Nests of Winter Cardinal Thank You Card

With my love of birds, this Nets of Winter paper was a must have.     

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Grey Granite card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Nests of Winter designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Winterly Tree Tops stamp set (Stampin’ Up)
  • Cherry Cobbler ink pad (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots

Cut a piece of Grey Granite card stock to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and cut another piece to 3” x 3 ¾”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼ and another to 2 ¾” x 3 ½”.  Now take your Nests of Winter designer series paper and find the piece with the white birch design and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Find the piece of Nest of Winter designer series paper that has the pair of cardinals on it and cut them out. 

Take the piece of white card stock you cut to 2 ¾” x 3 ½” and your Cherry Cobbler link and either wipe the edges across the top of your ink pad or take a tiny piece of sponge dabbed in ink and rubbed across the edges.  This colors the edge with the red ink to make it stand out.  Do the same with the white card stock cut to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”.   Find the “Thank you for your kindness” stamp from the Winterly Tree Tops stamp set and with your Cherry Cobbler ink stamp that about ½” up from the bottom on the 2 ¾” x 3 ½” piece of white card stock with the red edges.  Take your cut out cardinals and adhere pop dots to the back and adhere above your stamped greeting.  Adhere that to the 2 ¾” x 3 ½” piece of grey granite. 

Now take your Grey Granite card base and adhere the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white card stock with the red edges and center on the front.  Then adhere the white birch piece to that.  Take your piece with the cardinals and greeting and put pop dots on the back and adhere to the front of the white birch paper on the front of your card base.  Use the 4” x 5 ¼” piece for the inside of the card.
