This time round I pulled out my Best Birds Stampin' Up! stamp set and created a birthday card. I hope you like it :)

I love the Emerald Envy color which is such a rich and jewel toned hue. I combined it with Night of Navy and stamped my pieces onto Very Vanilla cardstock. I love coloring the birds in this stamp set and you can go all out with color combinations! I think my friend will love this card, don't you?

Stampin' Up! Supplies Used:
Cut:
Emeral Envy card base: 11" x 4 1/4" and scored in half
Mat cut 5 1/4" x 4"
Night of Navy mat: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8"
Banner: 5" x 2" and one end punched with the Triple Banner punch
Pear Pizzaz scrap to die cut the tree limb
Very Vanilla scraps to stamp bird and flowers and greeting
Very Vanilla inside card mat: 5 1/4" x 4"
Next:
1. Stamp bird using Soft Suede ink and then color it in using soft suede, daffodil delight and Flirty flamingo inks. I also then used my Basic Black marker to color in the bird's eye and then added a teeny dot for its pupil using the retired White Gel pen. I then applied a small amount of the Fine Tip Glue over the eye to make it shine and pop a bit! (optional: you can also apply the Fine Tip Glue to the beak).
2. Stamp four flowers using Versa Mark and then cover with White Embossing Powder and heat set.
3. Color the flower petals in using Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie inks with a blender pen.
4. Stamp your greeting of choice (I used Happy Birthday from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set) using Night of Navy Ink and then punch out using the Classic Label punch.
5. Die cut you tree limb from Pear Pizzaz cardstock using the Birds & Blooms Thinlets.
6. Die cut the inked and colored bird and flowers using the matching dies from the same thinlets set.
7. Use the Garden Trellis embossing folder to create the textured background for the Emeral Envy mat and the Night of Navy banner.
8. Glue the Night of Navy cardstock mat to your card base.
9. Glue the embossed Night of Navy banner to your embossed Emerald Envy and then glue this whole piece to your card base.
10. Now assemble your card by first glueing on the tree limb as shown in photo using multipurpose glue.
11. Then attach the flowers and the bird, also with glue.
12. Attach the greeting using two mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
13. Apply the Pearl Basic Jewels to the flower centers and to each end of your greeting.
14. Last, and as an option, apply one Bitty Bow centered over your greeting (you could also add another flower instead, or leave it blank).
15. I die cut the mini bird out of a scap piece of the Night of Navy cardstock and glued it inside the card onto the Very Vanilla card mat.
Okay, now all you need is an envelope and you are ready to send this beauty out.
Enjoy!
