Paper Pieced Birdie

This is made with the set, A Little Birdie Told Me.  I stamped the bigger one on white with basic grey, and then again on the Ginger Blossom DP.  I cut it out and adhered it over the white.  I then masked it off and stamped the umbrella over and also on the DP.  I then cut it out and adhered it, too.  I then stamped the sentiment . 

*Side Tip - the bird and sentiment actually come as one stamp, but I separated them for ease of use.*

I folded over the top corner and then matted it on the grey, adding to antique pewter brads for embellies.  I then used my rectangle punch to pull my ribbon through, a trick that Debbie does famously!!

I stamped the polka dot BG with guava on the same CS, and then matted it on grey.  I added the image panel with dimensionals, and tied the ribbon around.  Then this was added to the white base with dimensionals, as well.  I really like the clean design of this card, perfect for a get well card.  Inside it reads, "you were under the weather."  I also like how the dots on the BG match the dots on the bird.  Gotta love this new DP, have fun and happy stamping!!

In the instructions about "A little birdie told me" you referred to a trick that "Debbie" taught you about ribbon and a rectangle punch. I tried to follow up the information and could not find a comment about what the "trick" is for adhereing the ribbon. If you could tell me where to find the info I would surely apprecite it. Thanks, Elaine
