I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbird stamp set bundle form the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalog to create a congratulations card to share with you today.  I also did a video tutorial for this card and you can see it on my YouTube channel here.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique 6″ x 6″ DSP (available May 3) to the front of a Tahitian Tide card base (card stock available May 3) with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut a panel of Basic White card stock with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I stamped the branch, leaf and flowers images from the Sweet Songbirds photopolymer stamp set (available May 3) in Crumb Cake, Parakeet Party (available May 3), Soft Suede and Tahitian Tide (available May 3) inks on the die cut panel.

Then I stamped the board image and sentiment from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Crumb Cake and Tuxedo Black Memento inks on a panel of Crumb Cake card stock.  I snipped around the stamped image and then adhered it to the Basic White card stock panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I stamped the bird images from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Sweet Sorbet (available May 3), Tuxedo Black Memento and Mango Melody inks on a panel of Basic White card stock and then punched them out with the coordinating Songbird Builder Punch (available May 3).

I stamped the birds feet in Mango Melody ink on the branch and then adhered the bird body to the panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I adhered the bird beak with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the wing with a Mini Glue Dot.  I stamped the musical notes image from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink next to the bird and then adhered the panel to a panel of Tahitian Tide card stock (available May 3) with Stampin’ Seal.  I adhered the layered panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish it.

I stamped the sentiment and music notes in Tahitian Tide and Tuxedo Black Memento inks on a panel of Basic White card stock.  I added a strip of the Tea Boutique DSP to finish the inside of the card.
