The Bird’s Eye View stamp set caught my eye right away and was one of the first purchases I made in early May. Did you get this stamp set yet? It’s adorable!
I needed to make a birthday card. So I paired a few images from this set up with the Masterfully Made Designer Paper.
And what fun paper this is! (Another one of my new favorites.) I love that many of the designs look like a bunch of torn and layered papers.
Because the torn papers that make up the designs have a white core, Stampin’ Up! is also currently offering a coordinating set of “one-color” papers each with a white core. This way you can tear the papers yourself and make them match the look of the designer papers.
Here is my card I put together. I used Azure Afternoon cardstock for the base. And I extended the front of this base piece a bit with some of the white-core paper in the same color. Then I covered up where these two Azure pieces overlapped with the 2″ wide strip of designer paper.
It’s a fairly simple card to put together.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Azure Afternoon Cardstock
- 5-1/2″ x 6-5/8″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
- Basic White Cardstock
- 4” x 5-1/2”
- 1-1/4″ x 2-1/2″
- White Center 12×12 Specialty Paper (Azure Afternoon)
- 1″ x 5-1/5″
- Masterfully Made Designer Paper
- 2” x 5-1/2”
Tips/Directions…
- After cutting all the pieces above, tear lengthwise along one edge of the Azure White Center paper to expose the white core. Adhere this piece so it extends the front part of the card to about 2-1/2″.
- Insert the larger white cardstock so that the left edge connects with the fold of the card. Keeping the card closed stamp the bird about 1-1/2″ from the bottom and centered in the exposed white area.
- Pull the white cardstock layer out. Stamp “birthday” so it looks like the bird is standing on the last letters. Stamp the glasses. And then stamp the monocle coming off the left wing to look like a balloon. Color in the balloon and the beak.
- Adhere this white layer. Adhere the designer paper strip.
- Stamp “happy” on the smaller white strip so the word is off the right just a small bit. Add with Dimensionals.
- Add sequins for balance and a bit of sparkle. And that’s it!
Thank you for visiting today! I’m feeling better, but my voice is still struggling a bit. I have two projects planned for upcoming Lives, but I think I need to take one more week of voice rest. With our garage sale this week, my Live would’ve been tomorrow instead of Wednesday. But I think that’s pushing it.
On that note, lots of items are starting to arrive as we set up for the garage sale! Fun, fun, fun! If you live near Andover, MN, please stop by and visit. Click here for the invite.
So I will see you all NEXT Wednesday, the 21st for my next Live. Maybe I’ll even pop on live on Facebook over the weekend to share all the cards that I’ve been receiving and setting aside. Be sure you follow and get notifications from my Facebook Page so you can get notice of when that will be. I have a ton of show and tell!
OH! And a bit of family news…My oldest Nick is taking off for Italy today. I just said good-bye to him this morning as they all boarded the bus from the high school. My sister Renee, her son Rob, and Jaylene (not pictured) are all going, too.
What a fabulous time they will all have!!
