One of my favorite things about summer is the beautiful hummingbirds. Oh, how I love to watch them… if only they would hold still so I could really enjoy their beautiful colors. Lol!!
The Stampin’ Up! Picture Perfect Stamp Set is a 2 Step Stamp.
I love these types of stamps. I feel like it gives the stampers a chance to get a bit more creative and play with colors.
You’ll notice on my Humming Bird, I stamped it twice and added a second wing and tail. I wanted him to look more like he was fluttering or flying. I hope you enjoy today’s tutorial!!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a Blessed Day!! Brandy
Base
1. Cut a 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece whisper white cardstock and fold it in half. This is your base!
2. Cut (3) 1-1/8″ x 5-1/2″ pieces of soft sky cardstock. You’ll layer these under your embossed strips.
3. Cut (3) 1″ x 5-1/2″ pieces of whisper white cardstock. Using your Big Shot and a Textured Embossing Folder of your choice… emboss your strips.
Tip: I used the Tiny Triangles embossing folder!!
4. Center and layer the white embossed strips on top of the soft sky strips.
5. Next, place them on your base to get your spacing right. Then, pick one strip up at a time and add adhesive to secure it.
6. Cut a 3-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock. This will be the base square under your hummingbird.
7. Cut a 3″ x 3″ piece of cucumber crush cardstock. Center and secure it to the top of your Soft Sky cardstock.
8. Cut a 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ piece of whisper white cardstock.
9. Using StazOn Black Ink to stamp your greeting or sentiment.
Tip: I used the sentiment from the Picture Perfect stamp set!
Hummingbird
1.Stamp your hummingbird first in soft sky.
2. Stamp your second more detailed hummingbird in tempting turquoise.
3. Stamp your third detailed hummingbird in StazOn Black.
4. Using daffodil delight, stamp on a bit of yellow on the neck and wing of the hummingbird.
5. Using tangerine tango, stamp a bit of orange on the neck of the hummingbird.
6. Hand cut your hummingbird out.
Tip: I stamped my humming bird twice so that I could cut out a second wing and tail . I used mini glue dots and stampin dimensionals to pop up the wings.

Beautiful work; I too love hummingbirds and it’s just a perfect card!
I love the layout, especially the way you used the embossed cardstock – so simple, yet full of impact! The hummingbird stamp is not my style, but I will definitely be CASEing your layout. Thank you for the inspiration.
Love, love, love the hummingbird stamp set. I will be ordering it on my next order! Thank you so much for your videos. You are an inspiration. Can always count on your videos to show me some different and really cool ideas. Thank you!
Hello Brandy, My name is Sally. I just watched your video on Picture Perfect. It was so awesome. I love that stamp set so much and to watch you put that card together of the hummingbird was so fun. I learned so much about making the bird. You made him so beautiful. I will be using this stamp set a lot. Thank you so much for putting out that video!! Love it. Thanks again Brandy!! Sally
Just watched your video on Picture Perfect. I love the idea of adding the extra wing and tail, it made the card POP. I also liked the Sky Blue on the white triangle embossed strips. Such a beautiful card. Thank you for your videos, I really appreciate you sharing them and enjoy watching you create. You have great personality and creativity. Till next time, take care.
This is a lovely card. I am not a huge bird person and likely will not buy this stamp set – flowers are my thing. Thank you Brandy, I always look forward to your e-mails and videos. Have a wonderful day.
I love this stamp set too but it is not easy to line up and can be quite frustrating. It takes a seasoned crafter to get it looking good
Love the 3-D effect of your card. I have hummers visiting my bottlebrush trees now. You did a magnificent job on your card. Thank you, Brandy.
And thank you for the wonderful card you sent to me recently. Take care…

Hi Brandy, just watched you new video from Picture Perfect. Loved it! I love humming birds too, and I have to tell you that I had the opportunity to hold one once. They are soooo sweet. He had flew into one of our windows and knocked himself coo koo. I gently picked him up and I was amazed that he is so tiny, and at first I thought he was dead but he opened his eyes and looked at me and I sat up. He sat on my hand for about two or three mins and then flew away. He was fine. Thank goodness. When I watched him gather his wits I thought how perfect Gods creations are. He really loves us to give us such perfection in His creations. His nature brings happiness to my heart. I’m so glad I’m a child of God.
I have ordered and recieved this Picture Perfect stamp sets. Love it! Of all the videos out there of the humming bird, yours is the best. I love how clean and elegantly you created it. I will be copying your idea and sending it to my family. Thank you for all your help and ideas. You rock those videos. Keep them coming. I’m really looking forward to the new yearly catalog in June. Have a blessed week, my dear.
