Good Morning! The whimsical birdies in the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye photopolymer stamp set are so cute, especially with the glasses on! I finally picked up this stamp set and had to use it so I could color a little bird and I paired it with a sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Delightfully Eclectic designer series paper to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with liquid glue. I embossed a strip of Bubble Bath card stock with the Cross Hatch 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front and wrapped a length of Bubble Bath ribbon around the card front and made a bow.

I cut a panel of Delightfully Eclectic DSP with the 3rd largest Countryside Corners die and cut a frame from Misty Moonlight card stock using the 3rd and 4th largest dies. I stamped the little bird and the stack of books from the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View stamp set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White and colored them with Stampin’ Blends. I used light Misty Moonlight, light Bubble Bath and light Fresh Freesia on the little bird. I used the color lifter to lighten the bird behind the glasses. I used Calypso Coral, Wild Wheat, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock , Orchid Oasis and Smoky Slate on the Books.

I fussy cut the bird and books using my Paper Snips. I adhered the books on the Delightfully Eclectic DSP die cut with liquid glue and adhered the frame over it with strips of dimensionals. I popped the cute bird on with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set in Crushed Curry on Basic White and fussy cut it with my Paper Snips. I popped it on the frame with dimensionals and glue dots and popped the frame on the card front with dimensionals. I trimmed the bow strings and secured the bow with another glue dot and finished with rhinestones.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little bird from the Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Delightfully Eclectic DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

Isn’t the bird so cute? The Stampin’ Up! Bird’s Eye View stamp set has three other birds and in addition to the books, theres a branch, leaves and balloon stamp that you can use to make a cute little scene. Oh, and there’s another set of glasses that are a little more stylish – but I like them both!
