by Tracy | Feb 3, 2023 | Stampin' Blends, Thank You Card
Today I have a card to share with you using the Nested Friends Bundle which includes the Nested Friends stamp set and the Nested Friends Dies. I love a cute bird stamp set and if there are dies too, I’m in! I also used the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.


I started with a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Then I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock, placed it inside the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder, ran it though my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and then adhered it to the front of my card. Next, I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and cut a scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock.


I used the Nested Friends stamp set and stamped the branch onto the Basic White circle using Memento Ink. I stamped the bird onto another piece of Basic White cardstock. Then I colored the branch using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends Combo pack and my Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blend (I went over some of the areas a second time to get the color darker). The bird was colored with the Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend (body), Light Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (body) and the Dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blend (beak). I adhered the white circle to the scalloped Balmy Blue circle, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

Using the Nested Friends Dies, I cut the bird out, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the branch. I added three Glossy Dots around the bird and branch. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using the Nested Friends Stamp Set and Memento Ink. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock a little bit bigger than the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment to the Balmy Blue cardstock, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card.

Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Flowers & More Designer Series Paper. This is a HOST only product that you can choose from when you pick your Stampin’ Rewards when your order reaches $150 or more.
I also used the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and the Nested Friends stamp set. I shared several other versions of this card that you can see here using Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper.


I started with a piece of Tahitian Tide cardstock for the base of my card. Then, I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. I cut another piece of Tahitian Tide cardstock and layered it with a piece of Flowers & More Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the card front.


I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tahitian Tide ink and the stamp set, Nested Friends. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies and cut a larger rectangle, using these same dies, out of Tahitian Tide cardstock and adhered the sentiment to it. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the right side and down the center, only, and placed it on the the Designer Series Paper.


To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card and added three Iridescent Pearls below the sentiment.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card, over to the left.


I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink onto Basic White cardstock using the stamp set, Nested Friends. I cut it out using the Stitched Rectangles Dies and also cut a larger one out of Balmy Blue cardstock. I adhered the two pieces together, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card (I didn’t add Dimensionals on the part that hangs off).

To complete my card, I added three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems below the sentiment and adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
Here’s two more versions of the card and both were also made with Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. This first one was made with Fresh Freesia cardstock, Fresh Freesia ink and the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
