Happy Birthday

If you like birdwatching you are going to love this sweet set. My parents have several birdhouses and feeders in their yard and they are a lot of fun to watch, but boy can they eat. While my mom was recovering from her chemo treatments, she loved watching the birds build their nests. I have to admit, it is quite fastinating.

Today’s card features two sweet birdhouses. I stamped each birdhouse and the birds on white cardstock, colored them with some Stampin’ Blends markers and then fussy cut them with some paper snips. The leaves and the greeting are stamped directly to the Basic White card front panel.

Thank the Lord for good friends and today’s card was created by one of my dear friends, Laura Rossmann. Thanks Laura for helping me out during this most difficult time.

Laura’s card-Artistically Inked Happy Birthday

Directions for Laura

I began with a Basic White card base and added the Artistically Inked DSP. On the 4 ¼ by 2 ½ Basic White CS, I stamped the large flower, two small flowers, and two leaves in the Staz On black ink. Then using the small Water Painters, I colored in the large flower using Poppy Parade, the leaves using Pear Pizzazz, and the tips of the smaller flowers using Calypso Coral and fussy cut the whole group.  I adhered thisto thee Artistically Inked DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I then colored all of the flowers and leaves using the Wink of Stella.After wiping the Basic Black CS strip with the Embossing Buddy, I stamped the Happy Birthday with Versamark Ink, then heat embossed with White Stampin’ Embossing Powder.  I adhered the sentiment strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today I am featuring two bundles that are in the January -June 2022 mini catalog. Both of these bundles will be retiring in June.

I began with a Soft Succulent card base and added a layer of Petal Pink. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink and the flowers with Petal Pink. And yes, I fussy cut the flowers and leaves using my Paper Snips.

The greeting is from Artfully Layered and I stamped it on some Basic White cardstock using Memento Black ink and then punched it out with the Everyday Label punch. Oh man am I ever going to miss this punch!

Project Supplies and Measurements

• Soft Succulent CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base),
• Petal Pink CS- 4 x 5¼
• Basic White CS- 5½ x 8½, 4 x 5¼   
• Boughs and Blossoms Bundle
• Artfully Layered Bundle
• Soft Succulent Ink

I love how this card turned out. At first I was not really a fan of the Petal Pink cardstock and ink, but the more I use it the more I love it, especially when it is paired with Soft Succulent. I hope today’s card inspires you to bless others with your creativity.

There is still time to get some of the retiring products from the 2022 annual catalog, but hurry supplies are selling out quickly. If you place an order that is less than $150, please use our April host code.
