Rectangle Flip it card using Birds and Branches bundle and Flowers for Every Season DSP

 Welcome to my blog. It’s been very foggy lately so I decided I wanted to make a colorful card. I used the Birds and Branches bundle paired with Flowers for Every Season DSP. I have a die from my stash that makes the flip it card base. There are several tutorials on YouTube that show how to make it if you don’t have a die. I started this yesterday but had misplaced my stamp set. I found it this morning. I’m still waiting for my order from the new Mini Catalog. Once it comes I will share projects using the products.

Materials and Directions 

- For the card base I used Bumble Bee cardstock and die cut the card base.

- For the layers I die cut the layers using the the dies I had that went with the die set.

- I die cut the rectangles from layered rectangles. The larger two in Night of Navy cardstock and the two smaller in white. The white layers I stamped the images. I used Soft Suede for the branches, Night of Navy for the birds and Garden Green for the leaves. I used Daffodil Delight Stampin Blends to color the bird. I then adhered the layers and adhered to the card base.

You can order these products from my website. Remember the Year end Clearance is still on.
