Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you are all getting ready for the weekend.
Today’s card is one that we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. It was designed by Rosie Kean. Here’s my card for today.
I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.
I adhered a small panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom front of the Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Country Birdhouse Dies, cut out the birdhouse by placing upper portion of roof die against the fold of 8 1/2 x 11 Basic White cardstock, “slipping” the cutting edge to the outside of the fold. You should have a “hinged” birdhouse once cut. From panels of Country Woods DSP cut the birdhouse, the roof and trim, birdhouse hole and flowerbox using the Country Birds Dies. Cut flowers and leaves from scraps of Boho Blue, Garden Green and Lemon Lolly using the Country Birdhouse Dies.
I adhered the birdhouse pieces together using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I colored the center of the hole for the birdhouse using Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Country Birdhouse Dies. I adhered the bird to the birdhouse using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it using a Glue Dot. I added Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the scalloped edge of the birdhouse. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the flowers.
For the inside of the birdhouse, I cut a panel of Country Woods DSP using the Country Birdhouse Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the die cut birdhouse. I adhered the stamped panel to the inside of the small birdhouse card.
I adhered a couple of the flowers and leaf to the bottom of the inside panel of the birdhouse. On the inside of the card base, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Country Woods DSP. I adhered the panel of DSP to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside bottom of the Crumb Cake card base.
To finish m 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 Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well. I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.
Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater. And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!
But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:
- You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly! OR….
- If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
