For this week’s fun fold video I have a card that also serves as a decor item. Wouldn’t this be cute for your desk, dresser or on your mantel? Perhaps a friend or family member would appreciate one as well; a lovely way to bring in spring.
I used the Birds & Branches stamp set bundle, page 120 of the Annual Catalogue. This stamp set and coordinating dies are carrying over into the new Annual Catalogue being released on May 4; however, purchasing it now saves you 10% (while it’s still a bundle). The item number is #154107 for $63. If you wait for the new catalogue the stamp set is $24 and the dies are $46 for a total of $70.
An expectant mother patiently guarding her eggs …
… and the father ready to fly off to get food for his mate. This ritual will soon be happening everywhere as we move deeper into spring.
Stamp and cut a few extra elements so you have plenty to choose from when assembling this card.
After the video, I finished the backside of the card.
