Welcome back to another Inkin’ Krew blog hop!  Our very talented team is doing a blog hop featuring Stampin’ Up! products.  This month we are all creating projects with a birthday theme and I’m featuring the Garden Birdhouses stamp set for my project.

My card design was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #365.

And my card works for The Paper Players PP544.

I started by adhering two panels from the Hand-Penned DSP to panels of Basic White card stock and then to each other with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Pale Papaya card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I cut another panel of Hand-Penned DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then adhered it to a panel of Basic White card stock with Stampin’ Seal.  I cut the layered panel in half and adhered the two pieces to the card front  with Stampin’ Seal with about a 3/4″ gap between them.

I stamped the tree, birdhouse and bird images from the Garden Birdhouses photopolymer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored them with Light and Dark Cinnamon Cider, Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight, Pale Papaya and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out with one of the dies from the Encircled In Beauty Dies and then adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Garden Birdhouses stamp set in Pale Papaya ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Hippo & Friends Dies.  I adhered the die cut with Stampin’ Seal to the card front and then added three Pale Papaya gems from the Genial Gems pack to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment, birdhouse and tree images from the Garden Birdhouses in Pale Papaya and Tuxedo Black Memento inks and then colored the images with Light and Dark Cinnamon Cider, Mint Macaron, Pale Papaya and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers to finish the inside of the card.
