Peaceful Garden Birds on a Branch Card

No Comments

This dainty floral-patterned paper from the Peaceful Garden designer series paper from Stampin’ up seemed like the perfect paper for this birds on a branch die.  I think it turned out adorable, loving it.    

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

  • Secret Sea card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Wisteria Wonder card stock (retired Stampin’ UP)
  • White card stock
  • Peaceful Garden designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Birds on a Branch die (unknown)
  • Impressions Abloom dies (Stampin’ Up)
  • Birthday stamps (unknown)
  • Wisteria Wonder ink (retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

Take a piece of Secret Sea card stock and cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half.  Cut another piece to 1” x 3”.  The dainty floral piece of designer series paper seemed more purple than Misty Moonlight and Cloud Cover so I used Wisteria Wonder, but you could use Cloud Cover as well.  From the Wisteria Wonder card stock cut two pieces to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 7/8” x 2 7/8”.  From the white card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼” and another to ¾” x 2 ¾”.  Then from the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack find the dainty floral piece and cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With one piece of the Wisteria Wonder adhere it to the front of your Secret Sea card stock and then adhere the dainty floral piece to that.  With a spare piece of Secret Sea cut two of the birds on a branch die, and then again with a spare piece of Wisteria Wonder.  Cut the birds off the one of the Wisteria Wonder pieces and adhere over one of the Secret Sea birds.  With the second piece of Secret Sea birds on a branch you cut, cut off the left end leaving 3 leaves to the front of the bird and then cut that bird off the second Wisteria Wonder birds and adhere to this branch.  Then with a spare piece of white card stock and the two small flowers dies from the Impressions Abloom dies and cut six white flowers.  Adhere five of the white flowers to the full birds on a branch set and the sixth flower on the small one. 

Adhere to full birds on a branch that you created to the front of your card.  Then with the ¾” x 2 ¾” white piece and a “Birthday Wishes” greeting stamp and Wisteria Wonder ink, stamp the greeting.  Adhere the white piece to the Wisteria Wonder piece and then to the Secret Sea piece and adhere to the lower right corner of your card.

For the inside of your card, stamp the “I can’t think of a nicer person to celebrate!” stamp with Wisteria Wonder ink toward the top center.  Adhere your smaller bird on a branch piece to the lower left corner.  Adhere this to the Wisteria Wonder and then to the inside of your card. 

You now have the birds on a branch card made with Peaceful Garden.

An Open Heart Thank You Card

No Comments

The wren was outside my craftroom window today which seemed like a sign that I needed to make a wren card.  I used a few antiquing features on this one as I haven’t in a while and I love cards that look a little old or weathered. 

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

  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  •  Peaceful Garden designer series paper (July 2025 Online Exclusive from Stampin’ Up)
  • Pear Pizzaz ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  •  Crumb Cake ink (Stampin’ Up)
  • Scrapper (Retired Stampin’ Up) or Scissors
  • Sponge
  • Blending Brush – Small (Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

From your Crumb Cake card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With your white card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, and two to 3 ½” x 4 ¾”.  In the Peaceful Garden designer series paper pack, find the only sheet that is Crumb Cake colored with the white florets, cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

With some spare Crumb Cake cut out three floret pieces, these are teasel burrs (I don’t know where this die is from).  Take one of your 3 ½” x 4 ¾” pieces of white you cut along with the Pear Pizzaz ink and your blending brush, lightly run your blending brush through the ink and blend around on your paper.  Tear all four edges and then use your Crumb Cake ink and a piece of sponge and sponge along your torn edges and also add a bit to your Pear Pizzaz.  Then from An Open Heart stamp set take the wren bird stamp and stamp to the left side of your piece.  Take your “So much my heart would like to say . . .” stamp and stamp in Crumb Cake ink on a small spare piece of white card stock.  Again tear your edges on all four sides and sponge Crumb Cake onto the edge. 

Now with the 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white you cut, use your scrapper or one edge of a pair of scissors and scrape along the edge to roughen.  Do the same to the Crumb Cake Floret piece of designer series paper you cut.  Use your sponge and Crumb Cake ink to sponge the roughened edges. 

Adhere the Crumb Cake Floret piece to the white piece and then adhere that to the front of your Crumb Cake card base.  Adhere your wren piece toward the left side of the Crumb Cake Floret piece.  Adhere two of the Tessel Burrs you die cut to the right side of the card front.  With pop dots adhere your greeting over the stems of the Tessel Burrs and your wren piece.

For the inside of your card take the last piece of white card stock you cut  and your Crumb Cake ink and stamp the “Thank You” greeting in the upper center.  Adhere your last die cut tessel burr to the left side.  Sponge around the edges using your Crumb Cake ink.  Adhere to the back inside of your card. 

I think the Wrens outside my craftroom would love the tribute card to them.
