Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends
The card I am sharing today is a birthday card I have created for my grandson’s birthday. I believe the Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends stamp set & Dies makes a perfect birthday card for a guy. The blue gingham can be for a man’s blue gingham shirt. This card is a CAS of Amy Koender’s. When she posted this card a month or so ago, I knew I want to have a card like this for my grandson’s birthday.
I am entering the Seize The Birthday Challenge — their optional theme is Things in a Garden. Even though I do not have Happy Birthday on my card it is because I want to write a personal birthday message to my grandson, I knew this design from Amy Koender’s is perfect for a man’s birthday card.
My card base is Balmy Blue card stock. A panel of Country Gingham Designer Series Paper is cut and matted on a panel of Basic White card stock using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The Country Gingham panel is adhered to the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
Two different ovals are die-cut from Basic White card stock using two dies from Stampin’ up! Framed Floret Dies. The ovals are adhered one over the other using Stampin’ Dimensionals, then adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug stamp set is stamped in Soft Suede ink on a piece of Basic White card stock then die cut using a die from Stylish Shapes Dies.
I stamped the bird nest, bird, and tree branch in Tuxedo Memento ink onto Basic White card stock, colored using Balmy Blue, Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends Markers. I die-cut the bird nest, bird, and tree branch using Dies from Stampin’ Up! Nested Friends Dies. They are then adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots are popped around the card front. Since I called the Country Gingham a man’s shirt the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots can be the buttons on the shirt.
I die cut a bird nest from Crumb Cake and So Suede card stock adhering them together using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I then adhered the bird nest over the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper strip adhered at the bottom of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I die cut three bird eggs coloring using a Balmy Blue Watercolor Pencil. I adhered the three eggs in the bird nest using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Granny Apple Green leaves are popped around the bird nest. There is still plenty of room on the sentiment page to write a Happy Birthday message to my grandson.
A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Country Gingham 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper applied to the envelope flap using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
