The 6” x 6” Designer Series Paper (DSP) packs are awesome! They are available in 5 different color packs, and are full of whimsical designs that coordinate perfectly with so many of our stamp sets. You can see that on full display when you see how fabulous the paper goes with the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and coordinating punch! This card is just so cute!
This card design was one of the cards that was in my May card class bundle. Everyone loved it! It’s definitely called a “Fun Fold,” yet it is so easy to create that you forget it’s a special fold. I love that it’s still the regular size of a standard 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card, but it looks completely different.
All of the measurements of this card were in a special tutorial that are exclusively for the attendees of the card class, but I definitely wanted to show you the card here! We used the Sweet Sorbet cardstock as the card base, and here I’ve layered it up with the Azure Afternoon color of blue for the printed DSP. Don’t they look great together? I think it’s a perfect combination for a summer card!
I love how easy it is to make the little bird, without even stamping. The entire bird (except his eyes) was punched out of cardstock and DSP, using the coordinating Songbird Builder Punch! Isn’t it amazing? I love how it even has a punch that makes the bird’s little white belly. Adorable!
Please click here to check out the video where I made this card. It really helps you to see, in action, how the card was made. I also give a little tutorial while I am creating, which helps you see it made step-by-step.
I also used the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack for this card, and it was perfect once I wrapped it twice and added a nice, floppy bow. Don’t you think it looks great? I love wrapping things with our different colors of twine. You can wrap things several times to make it look “wider,” and I also love to tie “double bows”–a double strand of twine to make a single bow. It makes the bow look wider and a bit more substantial.
I can definitely picture this card made with several different color combinations from this paper pack, can’t you? I have shown another really pretty color combination with another card I will link here…go check it out!
Have fun creating with the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and coordinating punch!
