Just in Case Birds of a Feather from Stampin’ Up!®

It's Just in Case Thursday – the day where Patsy Waggoner (my Border Buddy) and I share a card we've CASED (copy and selectively edit) from one of our current publications. Today's card uses the Birds of a Feather Cling Stamp Set  from page 50 of the Holiday Catalogue. The images are so adorable and cover off Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines and Halloween. 

Sometimes I switch out the stamp set and/or colours on a card.  Here's the original card which used the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set from page 19 of the Annual Catalogue. I used it as a sketch for my card.

 

Measurements:

• Smoky Slate – 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
• Whisper White – 2 3/4" x 2 3/4"
• Basic Gray – 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"; 1 1/2" x 1 1/2"
• Daffodil Delight Designer Series Paper (DSP) 6" x 6" – 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"

Instructions:

1. Fold Smoky Slate  (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") cardstock in half to form card front.
2. Glue the Daffodil Delight DSP to the Basic Gray mat.
3. Glue the Monster Bash DSP to the Daffodil Delight DSP approximately 1" from the bottom edge.
4. Separate a few strands* of the Whisper White Flex Ribbon and wrap around the middle of the Monster Bash DSP and tie in a bow on the left side.
5. Glue the Basic Gray layer to the card front.
6. Cut out the 2 3/8" circle from the Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies.
