Good Thursday morning my stamping friends and welcome to our Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop. If you are starting with me, thank you, I hope you will stop by everyone’s blog to see what they have created this week. If you are hopping over from Akiko’s blog, thank you for stopping by. This week we have Color Challenge. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card using this week’s colors.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up! Spotlight on Nature Dies and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

These are our colors for this week.

I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Beige card base using Liquid Glue. I cut a panel of Basic Beige using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. Using the Country Birdhouse Dies, I cut the flowers from a panel of Petal Pink and the leaves from a panel of Pool Party.

Using the Country Birdhouse Dies I cut the feeder try and pedestal from a panel of Country Woods DSP. In Basic Beige Ink, I stamped the spotted image from the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Photopolymer Stamp Set on the die cut panel of Basic Beige. I adhered the bird feeder and pedestal to the bottom of the panel using Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on the top of the panel. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the pedestal using Liquid Glue, Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. To get the bird facing the opposite way, I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Silicone Craft Sheet. I immediately placed the Basic White panel over the stamped image and gave it a little rub. I colored the images using Misty Moonlight and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the images using the Country Birdhouse Dies. To cut the bird facing the opposite way, I held the Basic White panel up to the light on the back and lined up the die with the bird. I adhered the birds to the feeder using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the flower center and an Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dot next to the sentiment.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Pecan Pie Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. I adhered some die cut flowers and leaves to the corners using Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic Beige panel to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

To complete my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Petal Pink and Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the spotted image in Basic Beige Ink. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.
