Sing a Sweet Song

 The Sweet Songbirds stamp set is adorable and makes some really great cards with little effort. And the bundle (stamp set and punch) is such a great value!

Measurements (full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post)

• Orchid Oasis card base (5-1/2" x 8-1/2")
• Orchid Oasis DSP (4" x 5-1/4")
• Basic White layer (2-3/4" x 5-1/4", two medium scraps)

2. Cut the Orchid Oasis DSP in half at 2" and then cut one of the pieces in half again at 1".
3. Adhere the 2" DSP to the top of the card front. Glue the small fold down to the top of the card.
4. Adhere one of the 1" pieces of DSP to the glued-down strip, with the opposite side of the DSP showing. 
5. Adhere the remaining 1" piece of DSP to the bottom of the card (shows even when card is open).
6. Die cut large circle (either 2-3/4" o4 3") circle from one of the Basic White scraps.
7. Stamp branch in Soft Suede ink on the circle, add leaves in Parakeet Party ink, and bird feet in Tuxedo Black ink.
