Nests of Nature Chickadee Card

I love birds, I spend a fortune feeding them all every day.  When I saw this stamp set and paper I had to have it.    

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

  • Grey Granite card stock
  • White card stock
  • Nests of Winter designer series paper
  • Winterly Tree Tops stamp set
  • Basic Black ink pad
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop-Dots
  • Twine

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 2 7/8″ x 4 1/8”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 4” x 5 ¼, one at 2 5/8” x 3 7/8” and another to 1 ¼” x 2 ¼”.  Now take your Nests of Winter designer series paper and find the piece with the white birch design and the light grey with the white circles on it.  Cut a piece of white birch paper to 4” x 5 ¼”.  With the light grey with circles paper cut a piece to 2 ½” x 3 ¾”.   Find the piece of Nest of Winter designer series paper that has the chickadee on it.  Cut out one of the Chickadees. 

Take the piece of white card stock you cut to 1 ¼” x 2 ¼” and the Winterly Tree Tops stamp sent and with the “sending thanks & much love” and the Basic Black ink stamp it centered on the piece of card stock. 

Now take your Grey Granite card base and adhere the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white card stock centered on the front.  Then adhere the white birch piece to that.  Take the small stamped piece of white and adhere that about 1/8” up from the bottom of the light grey with circles piece.  Adhere the light grey circles piece to the white piece of card stock.  Take the twine and wrap around twice and tie a bow and make sure it is located just above the stamped white piece.  Now take the cut out Chickadee, apply pop-dots to the back of it and adhere that to the top portion of the light grey circles piece.  Then adhere that to the piece of grey granite card stock.  Adhere that whole piece onto the center of the front of your card base on the birch paper.   Use the 4” x 5 ¼” piece for the inside of the card.
