Sweet Songbird Note of Thanks Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card uses the Sweet Songbirds stamp set (158721) and while it is a quick and easy fun fold it uses some bold color to really make it pop.

Done in Blueberry Bushel and Tahitian Tide it’s bright and cheerful. And while this stamp set has a coordinating Songbird Builder Punch (158726) giving it even more versatility this card is done with simple stamping. My daughter is a music teacher so I’m always creating thank you cards for her and figured this one will work well for her thank you cards that she’ll need for band camp this month. Want to see how I made it? Here is a quick Video and PDF Tutorial for you.
