I used the Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set bundle from the upcoming January-April 2023 Mini Catalog to create a birthday card to share with you today. I also did a video tutorial for this card and you can see it on YouTube here.
I started by adhering a panel of Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ DSP (available Jan 5) to a panel of Basic White card stock with Stampin’ Seal. Then I cut a panel of Basic White card stock with the two oval dies from the Framed Florets Dies. I adhered the larger oval die cut with Multipurpose Liquid Glue and the smaller frame with Stampin’ Dimensionals that I’d cut in half to the card front. Then I adhered the layered panel to the front of a Balmy Blue card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the nest, branch and bird images from the Nested Friends stamp set (available Jan 5) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then used Light and Dark Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Balmy Blue and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers to color the images. I cut the images with the coordinating Nested Friends Dies (available Jan 5) and then adhered the die cuts with Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Glue Dots to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment from the Nested Friends stamp set in Soft Suede ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. I adhered the die cut with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and then added three Balmy Blue sequins from the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins (available Jan 5) to finish the card front.
I adhered a strip of the Country Gingham DSP to a panel of Basic White card stock to finish the inside of the card.
