Good Morning and welcome to the Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! I finally got to play with the pretty Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse bundle and made this sweet hello card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
We have a pretty color challenge this week and I think I used all the colors:
I embossed a strip of Country Lace designer series paper with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder and adhered it to another panel of Country Lace DSP. I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Basic Beige card base with liquid glue. I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse dies to cut out different panels of Country Woods DSP to make the birdhouse. I used liquid glue to adhere the die cuts together and adhered the birdhouse to the card with dimensionals.
I stamped the bird and flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White. I colored the bird with light Boho Blue and light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends and I used Flirty Flamingo, Peach Pie, dark Daffodil Delight and light Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers. I cut out the birds and floweers with the coordinating dies. I also die cut some leaves and a flower from Basic White and colored them with light Lemon Lime Twist and Light Boho Blue Stampin’ Blends.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set. in Misty Moonlight ink on a Basic Beige panel. I used one of the new tag dies from the upcoming Greetings of the Season dies (available July 3) to cut it out. I colored a length of Linen Trhead with the light Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blend and looped it through the hole, tying a knot. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I adhered the bird to and flowers to the card with glue dots and dimensionals and finished with metallic textured dots.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the flower bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse stamp set across the bottom of a Basic White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored the flowers like the flowers on the front and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The die cut birdhouse from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse bundle is really wonderful and fun to make. And the sweet images and pretty sentiments make this a pretty versatile bundle.
