Cutest Crew Birdie Card

I was looking for a clean & simple card using the Cutest Crew set for my Senior Center class. I found this layout and made it my own! So, this is a "Becky Original". It uses the Perennial Lavender DSP paired with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and rounded rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. I love the effect! And, then some quick coloring of the birds in the stamp. And, Voila, you have a multi occasion card!

Measurements:

Highland Heather: 1/2 sheet, 2 1/4" x 3" (label)
Perennial Lavender DSP: 2" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip (inside)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" (punch)

To Make This Card:

Adhere White pieces to the inside and outside of Highland Heather card base.
Next, add the DSP to the front, and the strip to the inside.
Punch White "label" with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.
Stamp the sentiment in Black ink near the bottom, and the 3 "birdies" above it, as shown.
Next, color "birdies" with 3 different purples from the DSP (there are many choices). I also colored the "beaks" Daffodil Delight and the "grass" in Pretty Peacock. I also added a little Wink of Stella to the "birdies".
Mount onto rounded rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies.
Then, adhere this to the card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with scattered Purple Shimmer Gems and Highland Heather bow.

Easter Joy Pop Up Basket

I found this darling card by Meg Loven that utilizes one of the "panels" in the Easter Joy DSP, with a fun pop up basket inside! I haven't done a "regular" pop up card in ages, so this was a nice refresher! Too much fun!

Measurements:

Pretty in Pink: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 1" x 6" (pop up), scraps
Easter Joy (N): 1 Panel cut to 4" square, 1 1/4" x 4" (eggs), 3" x 4" (basket print)
Basic White:4" square (inside)
Shy Shamrock: scraps
Lemon Lolly: scraps
Peach Pie: scrap
Crumb Cake: scraps

To Make This Card:

Trim 1 1/4" from front of folded Pretty in Pink card base. Toss this piece.
Add trimmed "panel" to card front.
Adhere White, then "egg" DSP to "inside" of card.
Score "pop up strip" @ 1 1/2" - 3" - 4 1/2". Crease all score lines in "Mountain" folds.
Next, fold strip in half, so cut edges are together. Place adhesive on the 2 end pieces - i.e. front and back of the end areas.
Place strip on the inside of card with cut edges towards the fold, and about 5/8" from the bottom of the card. Note: You might want to check to make sure your inside die cut will not show. These are the measurements for using the "basket".
Now, die cut the "basket" from "basket DSP.
Die cut "grass" and "stems" from Shy Shamrock, and "daffodils" from Lemon Lolly.
Arrange these pieces in "basket" as shown.
Finish with die cut "bow" in Pretty in Pink. Note: These pieces could also be cut from the Pastel Shimmer Cardstocks!
Carefully place finished "basket" onto "pop up" piece, so edge of basket just misses the inside of the card front. Check to make sure nothing is showing before permanently adhering!
To finish the front, Stamp "bunny" in Early Espresso Ink onto Crumb Cake cardstock. Die cut with corresponding die.
I added a little Pretty in Pink ink to the image with a Q-Tip, and then added it to the front with Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto strip of Peach Pie, and angle cut the ends.
Add to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with the tiny eggs from the Easter Embellishments and Pretty in Pink Flat Pearl for the "bow" "knot".

All Occasion Flower Basket #2

Here is another fun idea using the Easter Basket bundle! (Sorry, I'm still prepping for club!) This is a little less "Easter" and a little more "Any Occasion"! For this one I used Timid Tiger. I started by finding a background DSP (Splash of Sparkles) and working from there. The original idea is from Terri Gaines, and I tweaked it a bit. This bundle is so much fun!

Measurements:

Timid Tiger: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/8" x 4 3/4", scrap
Splash of Sparkles (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4" (Timid Tiger "watercolor")
Basic White: 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", scraps
Pecan Pie: 3" x 4"
Crumb Cake: scrap

To Make This Card:

Adhere the DSP to folded Timid Tiger card base.
Run the White layer through the new Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. (Note: This EF has a tendency to cut really deep, so if you have a "tight" die cutting machine, you might want to add a piece of waxed paper, or copy paper.)
Adhere to smaller Timid Tiger piece, and attach to front of card.
Next, die cut "basket" from Pecan Pie.
Die cut "weaving strips" from scrap of Crumb Cake (you only need 4), and bow from Timid Tiger scrap.
Now, stamp 3 "flower clusters" in Garden Green ink. Color with Blends, as shown.
Weave 4 strips into "basket".
Next, add the 3 "flower clusters" inside the "basket".
Adhere "basket" to White layer with Dimensionals. I only placed them on the basket part. I ended up tucking a Mini Dimensional behind the tallest flower in each "cluster".
Then, add the bow.
Finish the inside with a piece of White, and a strip of DSP.
Finish the front with Timid Tiger Flat Pearls, and a small Iridescent Pearl in the center of each little flower.
