This birthday or all occasions card was featured during Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage in Atlanta earlier this month. It was featured as a card swap using products from both the Occasions and Annual Catalogs.  It is not difficult to put together and I have laid out all the products and assembly here:
STAMP SET:Â
BEST BIRDS stamps(141525)
BIRDS AND BLOOMS thinlets dies (141477)
OH SO ECLECTIC stamps and thinlets BUNDLE (145356)
PAPER:
NATURALLY ECLECTIC DSP (144185)
PEEKABOO PEACH (base card)
WHISPER WHITE
VELLUM
COLORING:Â
EMERALD ENVY INK
NIGHT OF NAVY INK
MOMENTO BLACK INK
STAMPIN’ BLENDS Non-Alcohol Markers (all the colors)
EMBELLISHMENTS:Â
5/8″ Burlap Ribbon

Petal Passion Embellishment (OCCASIONS Catalog)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Standard card and layering sizes.
2. EMBOSS leaf image with thin-let (non-cutting) from the ECLECTIC LAYERS THINLETS on the DSP.
3. Stamp over embossed image with LEAF stamp with ink (Emerald Envy /Night of Navy) (and it creates the lines of the embossed image underneath).
4. Stamp the Bird image on Whisper White with Momento Ink.
5. Color and blend with Stampin’ Blends Markers (then cut out with dies from the Birds and Blooms set)
6. Take a swatch of burlap ribbon about 2.5 ” in length (cut the width of the ribbon in half lengthwise) and shred gently between your fingers to soften the fibers so they look like a branch. Spread and adhere to Mini-Glue Dots on the paper. You can also use the LEAF Punch (144667) with Vellum instead.
7. Pop the bird and sentiment (also from the BEST BIRDS set)Â upon Standard Dimensionals and add the Petal Passion embellishment.
