Start with a Mint Macaron cardstock card base. Cut a Crumb Cake cardstock panel and a By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper panel. Dry emboss the Crumb Cake cardstock panel with the Timber 3D embossing folder. Glue the embossed Crumb Cake cardstock panel to the card base.
Die cut a Basic White cardstock panel with the Desert Details dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Seaside Bay stamp set with the Memento Black ink in the top center of the die cut Basic White cardstock panel. Die cut Mint Macaron cardstock grass with the Seaside Bay dies. Use glue to add the grass across the bottom (about ¼” up from bottom edge) leaving the top of far-right grass not glued down. Glue the die cut panel to the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper. Wrap the panels with Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim and tie in a knot across the bottom of the grass. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the wrapped panel to the card base.
Stamp the bird from the Seaside Bay stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Color the bird with Stampin’ Blends and then die cut it out with Seaside Bay dies. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the bird to the right of the card front with the bird’s feet tucked into the ribbon and tucked behind the grass. Use a small dot of glue to attach the grass overlapping the bird to the bird. Add Wink of Stella to the bird’s eye for sparkle. Add Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls to the card front.
Don’t forget to add a Basic White cardstock inside panel to write your message. Add a strip of the By The Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
