I created this card yesterday using the new Bird Ballad Suite found in the Stampin' Up 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. The card includes very minimum stamping but showcases the bundle eloquently.
This card involves a lot of fuzzy cutting so if that's not your jam ... this may not be the card for you. But with a little patience, you'll end up with a gorgeous card - perfect for any occasion!
The materials you need for this card can be found below in the product list. I've listed out some step by step instructions to guide you through creating your very own Bird Ballad Fancy fold.
Step 1: Cut a piece of whisper white cardstock measuring 11" by 4.25".
Score it along the long side at 5.5" and then fold using the bone folder. Then, if you were to hold the card base in front of you with the scored edge on your left, score the front of the card base only at a diagonal from the bottom left to the top right. Use the bone folder to create your fold so that your create a sort of tent with the front of the card.
Step 2: Cut two pieces of Petal Pink cardstock measuring 4" by 5.25" each. Cut one of these in half on a diagonal to match the front of your card base.
Step 3: Cut two coordinating pieces of Bird Ballad Designer Series paper, each measuring 3.75" by 5". Cut one of these pieces in half at a diagonal to match up with the petal pink cardstock that was also cut at a diagonal.
Step 4: Adhere the DSP to the petal pink cardstock using Mono Multi-glue. Then adhere the petal pink cardstock to the base of your card using tear and tape adhesive.
Step 5: Next pick out two sizes of nested stitched framelits only one size apart from your bundle. Using the larger of the two, cut out your die from petal pink cardstock. Using the smaller of the two, cut out your die from whisper white cardstock. Adhere the two dies together using either Mono Multi-glue or Snail Adhesive. Once combined, attach them to the front of your card using Mono Multi-glue, ensuring that you only place glue on the bottom right of the dies.
Step 6: Stamp three flowers using your Free as a Bird stamp set, one large and two small onto whisper white cardstock. Color them using the Petal Pink Stampin' Blends markers and make them sparkle with Wink of Stella. Then fussy cut them out using paper snips. Adhere them to the inside of your card on the bottom right corner, popping them up with dimensionals. These will act as your stopper for your fancy fold.
Step 7: Stamp your greeting on the inside of your card.
Step 8: Pick out your favorite birds from the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and cut them out using your paper snips. Adhere the birds to the front of your card onto the nested label dies you adhered earlier using dimensionals. Add Wink of Stella and rhinestones to the birds.
That's it! You're all done! And you'll be left with a beautiful card! Post your creations to my Facebook page here. I want to see which birds were your favorite!
Happy Stamping!
