The Free as a bird stamp set is one of my new favorites from the Annual catalogue. Seems I am not the only fan, as this set has become the top seller of the entire 2019 catalogue. I wanted to create softness with the colours and used the pretty designer paper as an inspiration. This card is a perfect card for a young girl’s birthday, a special event or a just because you’re my friend type of message.

No matter the reason, anyone would love to get a card with these lovely birds.

How to

STEP 1: Fold your base at 5 ½ and fold back a flap at 2 ¾”

STEP 2: Adhere your piece of DSP to the flap. Adhere your Petal Pink Layer on the inside and set aside.

STEP 3: Stamp the birds on the small Whisper White piece and colour with Stampin Blends. Adhere to the Petal Pink

STEP 4: Adhere to the folded flap using glue only on the left side of the cardstock

STEP 5: Stamp the Whisper White small scrap piece and punch out, stick to Petal Pink punched out scallop.

STEP 6: Stamp you greeting for the inside of the card and adhere the layer to the Petal Pink.

STEP 7: Place Dimensional on the right bottom of the scallop and position on the right bottom of the card so the tip of the bird layer just tucks in behind the scallop.

STEP 8: Tie your piece of organdy striped ribbon around the flap, close to the edge so you don’t cover the image of the birds.

STEP 9: Stamp your envelope
