Good Morning and welcome back to my blog. Today I am sharing my creations for Episode 3 of my January Stamp Set of the Month series. In this episode I am making a Congrats card for a new mom with the Special Delivery stamp set by Lawn Fawn. And a matching gift card holder to go with the card.
You can watch the Episode right here.

Now let's take a closer look at today's card.
My idea was to have the birds holding a banner in their beaks. I love these chubby little birds thinking of new ideas for what they might be holding in their beaks is so much fun. I colored out my little birds with Copic Markers to look like canaries and just love them in bright yellow.
For the banner I used the Olivers Stitched ABC's and Ballet Slippers card stock from Concord & 9th.
What makes me so happy about this card are the little clay bow embellishments I used on the banner. They are just darling and were the inspiration for the color palette on this card. These little bows are from the Craft Supplies by CC Etsy shop.
For the stamped part of my sentiment I used "special delivery" from the stamp set with the same name that the birds are from. For the "on your" I used a sentiment stamp from the Happy Village stamp set.
The owls, small butterflies and hearts stamped on this card are from the Mom + Me stamp set by Lawn Fawn. It was the perfect set to pair with the Special Delivery stamp set for this card!
The size of this card base is 8-3/4" x 7-1/4", scored at 3-5/8", which gave me a bit of a border around the scalloped panel from the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts: Portrait die set. When die cut the scalloped panel is 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". This card will still fit into the business sized envelopes I found at the Dollar Tree.
And here is the gift card holder made with the Magic Iris Birdhouse die set.
This gift card holder is easily made by folding a piece of card stock in half and die cutting the birdhouse so the bottom cut line is just beyond the fold. When you run this through the die cutting machine you will have a birdhouse that opens at the bottom. Add a bit of double stick tape to the sides, but only near the top, to secure the pocket. Now you can add a gift card and decorate the gift card holder that can also but used as a tag on a gift. I thought pack of diaper with a gift card and this darling card would make a great gift for a new mom.
Thank you so much for stopping by and letting me share my creations with you.
