Another reason why I’m so passionate about this stamp set is because for every Flamingo Lingo Stamp Set sold, Stampin’ Up! will donate $3.00 to Ronald McDonald House Charities. I’m so proud that Stampin’ Up! supports the RMHC Charities and to date they’ve contributed over $1,000,000. That’s Awesome!
Directions
1. Cut a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Whisper White cardstock and fold it in half. This is your base.
2. Cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic Black Cardstock and layer it on the top of your Whisper White base.
3. Cut a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Strawberry Slush and Whisper White Cardstock.
Flamingo Lingo
#134303 (wood)
#134306 (clear)
4. At the same time cut the Strawberry Slush and Whisper White Cardstock long ways from the top left corner diagonally down to the bottom right corner.
Tip: Make sure both Strawberry Slush and Whisper White cardstocks are even. Put the top left corner on your cutting board and align it with the cutting line. Then align the bottom right along the same cutting line to get a perfect diagonal cut.
5.Using the Flamingo Lingo Scalloped Flower Circle Stamp and Daffodil Delight Ink stamp your back ground on your Whisper White Triangle.
Tip: Align your triangles up over your basic black base. This will ensure you stamp on the correct side of the Whisper White Triangle.
6. Center and glue your triangles down to the Basic Black Base.
7. Cut a 4″ x 3″ piece of Basic Black Cardstock and layer it on top of your base diagonals.
8. Cut a 3-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ piece of Whisper White and Strawberry Slush Cardstock.

13. Using a Strawberry Slush and Basic Black Stampin’ Write Markers to color on your stamp.
Tip: On a scrap piece of paper color on your greeting the same why. Stamp it and cut it out or use your itty bitty framelits to ensure a perfect cut.
14. Stamp your Daffodil Delight flower on scrap paper and punch it out using the Stampin’ Up! Petite Petals Punch.
Tip: Use Stampin’ Dimensonals to pop up your greeting and flower.

Brandy, what a fun card. Can’t wait to get this stamp set. In the 2 1/2 years I have been getting Stampin’ Up products, I have purchased the Moving Forward and Tag It sets. Ronald McDonald House is a fabulous place. My grandnephew was born with major problems 2 1/2 years ago. He was a patient at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, NY from the day he was born for seven months. His mom, my niece, lived at Ronald McDonald House for the complete seven months. They were so good to her. Every year my famiily participates in the Ronald McDonald walk to raise money for the house. It is surely a magnificent place. Ilena
Hi Ilena,
Hope your doing well and thank you so much for sharing your story, I love the work that the Ronald McDonald house is doing.
I was the Stampin Up coordinator here in my local area for the Ronald McDonald House and I loved volunteering there and seeing the miracles that God gives and how the Ronald McDonald House is so giving to the families.

I love the flamingo card and it is a must on my list. My granddaughter loves pink, so the banner tickled pink is perfect. She is starting collage this year, what a cute card to bring a smile.

Love this Flamingo card. Colorful and just CUTE. Love your videos. Don’t have this set yet, but I always purchase the Roald McDonald stamp sets. Have a RMD in Wilmington, Delaware and we have a very close friend that her son has been there since last summer. He has cancer. He is 14 and has had a bone marrow transplant and is doing very well. He will fight is nasty disease and we are all praying for him.
Hi Maureen,

Love, Love, Love the flamingo card. When my son was 10 days old he had to have heart surgery at MUSC in Charleston,SC. We are from Lexington, SC. I was so glad that we got to stay at the Ronald McDonald House. It was around the corner of the hospital and we walked from when the sun came out and came back after the last visiting hours. It was a blessing to have some where to stay. It is my favorite charity. My son is 23 years old now and doing great. I will be ordering soon. Thanks for the video.
