I wanted to make a Baby Card and decided to use the Sweet Songbirds from the Annual Catalogue. These birds are so cute and so easy to stamp there is also a punch to punch the large bird out, but as I had to fussy cut the smaller bird anyways, I decided to fuss cut the larger one as well. The flower gems are the retired Loose Flower Flourishes Gems.
Cutting and Instructions to complete this card:
- Card base is Boho Blue card stock, cut at 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″
- Basic White layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Stamp the tree branches from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Pecan Pie and the leaves in Old Olive ink
- On a separate piece of Basic White card stock, stamp the large and smaller bird in Boho Blue ink. The baby bird is the little wing of the smaller bird and the beak is in Daffodil Delight ink and added to the baby bird with liquid glue. Fussy cut the birds out using Paper Snips
