I used the Stampin’ Up! Builder Birdcage stamp set to create a “hi there” card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 326.

I started by cutting two panels of Falling in Love DSP at an angle and then adhering the panels to a Sahara Sand card stock panel with SNAIL.  I adhered one of the Lace Doilies to the panel with touches of Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then wrapped a strand of Solid Blushing Bride Baker’s Twine around the panel three times over the paper seam and tied a bow (added a little tape to the back to hold it in place).  I adhered the layered panel to a Sahara Sand card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the birdcage and bird images from the Builder Birdcage photopolymer stamp set in Sahara Sand and Blushing Bride inks on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.  Then I stamped the sentiment from the Birdcage Builder stamp set in VersaMark Ink, sprinkled it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat embossed it.

I punched the corners of the panel with the Project Life Corner Punch and adhered it with SNAIL to a panel of Sahara Sand card stock that I’d also punched with the Project Life Corner Punch.  I adhered the sentiment panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a gold enamel dot from the Metallic Enamel Shapes pack to finish the card front.

I stamped the smaller birdcage images from the Builder Birdcage stamp set in Sahara Sand ink on a Very Vanilla card stock panel inside the card.  I added the little bird in Blushing Bride ink to finish it.
