Hello, Sweet Stampers! Today’s card features the Builder Birdcage stamp set and the Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Paper (DSP) from the Occasions catalog. The see-through photopolymer stamps make it super easy to line up the images. And the paper is as cute as all get out.

Here’s what I did:

Cut with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

• Marina Mist card stock (CS) to 4-1/4″ x 11″, and scored in half at 5-1/2″.
• Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 4″ x 5-1.4″.
• a smaller piece of Marina Mist CS to 2-1/4″ x 3-3/8″.
• Whisper White CS to 2-1/8″ x 3-1/4″.
• You may be wondering why the smaller pieces have such odd measurements. When designing the card, I stamped the image first, then trimmed around it until I liked the way it looked. And those just happened to be the measurements.

Stamped using the Builder Birdcage stamp set:

• birdcage in Crumb Cake ink onto the Whisper White CS.
• birds in Marina Mist ink “inside” the birdcage.
• sentiment in Marina Mist ink onto a strip of Whisper White CS big enough to accommodate the banner die (see below.)

Inked:

• edges of doily in Marina Mist ink with a Sponge Dauber.

Die cut:

• stamped sentiment using the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits. Then fold on the score lines created by the die.

Adhered, using glue unless otherwise noted:

• DSP to the card base.
• birdcage piece to the smaller piece of Marina Mist CS.
• doily to the back of the smaller piece of Marina Mist CS.
• smaller piece of Marina Mist CS (with birdcage and doily) to the DSP.
• adhered the middle part of the banner with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the ends with glue, to the DSP.
• self stick dots in Marina Mist from the Subtles Enamel Shapes.
