Welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop bringing you inspiration from all around the world. Today our theme is Birthdays! I hope you make and SEND a lot of birthday cards because a card is so much better than a text or a message on social media. Surely your friends are “card worthy!” LOL!
Here is a quick and easy one to make with the Flight & Airy pack of paper that is free during Sale-a-bration. This is one of my favorite freebies this year. The colors and patterns are soft and sophisticated. Each one is so pretty.

I love to let the patterned paper do all of the work. A couple of layers here and there and you have a beautiful card. The branch and the sentiment are from the Nested Friends bundle which coordinates so well with this paper. Those darling birds are fussy cut from the Flight & Airy papers.
instructions
- Cut a piece of patterned paper 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ and adhere to a Misty Moonlight mat cut 4″ x 5 1/4″.
- Adhere the layered paper to a Petal Pink card base cut 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″.
- Die cut a piece of patterned paper (the blue is a “back” side) with the 2nd largest Stylish Shapes die.
- Adhere the circle to a piece of Misty Moonlight cut with the 6th from the center Deckled Circles die. Adhere to the front of the card.
- Fussy cut two small birds.
- Stamp the branch with Pecan Pie ink on a piece of Pecan Pie card stock. Die cut.
- Adhere the branch to the front of the card.
- Add the two birds with dimensionals.
- Add three gems from the Tinsel Gems Three Pack.
- Adhere a 1/2″ strip of patterned paper along the left hand side of your inside mat, cut 5 1/4″ x 4″.
- Adhere to the inside of the card.
