I love these little guys. I think they are so cute but sorry you have to fussy cut them out. It's worth it! Also, I did not include on my supply list the scrap of Flirty Flamingo and Pecan Pie cardstocks.

HOW TO CREATE AND ASSEMBLE:
- Run the front cover of your card base (4 1/4 ‘ x 11”-scored at 5 1/2”) through the emboss machine with the Brick 3-D embossing folder. Fold and burnish on the fold. Set aside.
- Run the white (3 7/8” x 5 1/4”) piece of cardstock through the die cut machine with the letter dies however you would like them placed on your card front. You can't do them in a straight line as they won't fit across.
- Place your die letters on your work area and place a thin strip of Washi tape across all letters, tape them in down. Using the blending brushes and ink, ink your letters. Set aside. Be careful because the letters are very skinny so may fold or tear.
- Run your piece of adhesive foam through the die cut machine with the letter dies. (Run through 2-3 times to ensure it’s cut all the way through.) Remove the top layer of adhesive and then adhere the corresponding inked letter on top. Set aside.
- Take the same white cardstock that you cut out the letters from and run it through the emboss machine in the Timber Embossing 3-D Folder. Raggedly tear about an inch off the bottom.
- Optional: If you would like to coordinate your envelope with the card, run the flap through the emboss machine with the timber embossing folder.
- Adhere the (3 7/8” x 1 1/4”) strip of DSP on the back of the white torn piece bringing the two pieces together to measure 5 1/4” in length. Adhere this to the front of your card base.
- Now you can peel the back of the letters and adhere them to your card front in their corresponding places.
- Adhere the other (4” x 5 1/4”) piece of white cardstock to the inside of your card and adhere the strip of DSP along the bottom.
- Stamp branch on pecan cardstock with pecan ink then fussy cut out. Set aside.
- On the small scrap of flamingo cardstock. Stamp the sentiment using Versamark ink then sprinkle with embossing powder and heat emboss. Trim it down as needed.
- Stamp some birds on your small scrap piece of white cardstock then color them in and fussy cut them out.
- Arrange all the pieces on your card front and adhere them using your dimensionals.
