I promised I would post the directions for the remainder of the projects. Here they are… I hope you enjoy them! Stay Warm Friends! Brandy
Base
1. Cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock. Score you Crumb Cake Cardstock at 4-1/4″ and fold in half. This is your base.
2. Cut a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock to layer inside of your card.
3. Use Whisper White Bakers Twine to wrap your base three times and tie a decorative bow. Trim of the ends of your bow if its too long. This will keep you card neat and tidy.
Bird
1. Cut a 2-3/4″ x 3″ piece of Early Espresso Cardstock and set aside.
2. Cut a 2-1/2″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Soft Sky Cardstock and set aside.
Tip: Use a Stampin’ Sponge and an Early Espresso Stamp Pad to flick the edges of the Soft Sky Cardstock! Do this with your 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ piece of Soft Sky for your greeting too!
3. Cut a 2-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock. This piece is for your image.
4. A 2-1/2″ x 3/4″ piece of Soft Sky Cardstock. This piece is for your greeting/sentiment!
5. Using an Early Espresso Stamp Pad to stamp your greeting/sentiment and bird.
Tip: Stamp your images before adhering it to your Soft Sky Cardstock. This way, if you make a mistake you can flip the Whisper White Cardstock over and try again!
Tip: You can use any sentiment or greeting you would like. The bird and greeting I used are from the Stampin’ Up! An Open Heart Stamp Set!
5. After stamping your image, use adhesive, center and glue your image on top of the Soft Sky Cardstock.
6. Add the Soft Sky on top of the Early Espresso.
7. Next, use pop dots to add the Early Espresso piece with your image on the top of your card.
Tip: I used the Stampin’ Up! stampin’ dimensionals because they add a nice lift on top of your card.
8. I also used Stampin’ Dimensionals for the Greeting/Sentiment so that it would have a bit of lift!

Tip: I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop this layer up off the 3″ x 3-1/4″ piece of Soft Sky. It gave it a nice lift!
7. Use adhesive to adhere your largest Pool Party layer on your card.
8. I used Whisper White Scrap paper to fit the greeting or sentiment that I chose. You can do the same at home and cut your Whisper White Cardstock to size to fit your greeting!
