Stained Glass Cardinal Accordion Fold Card [So Very Merry Series #2]

August 25, 2023 by

Have you noticed how the Santa and the Angel stamps in the Stampin' Up! So Very Merry stamp set have that gorgeous look of stained glass? ✨🎅✨ But what about the cardinal stamp?  It didn't come with the same background. Which does make it versatile, but I wanted it to have that look. Well, guess what? 🥁 I've decided to jazz things up and create a stained glass effect for our little Cardinal using the Stampin' Up Patchwork Pieces dies. 🌈🕊️🌈 Yes, you heard that right! Now our feathery friend can shine just as brightly as Santa and the Angel. You'll find this stamp set is available in the Online Exclusives section of my online store. 🌐🛍️🌐 But that's not all! I've also put together some easy-peasy instructions AND a video to show you how to get that fun fold just right. 🎬✂️🎬

I used the new Joyful Christmas designer series paper for the musical notes background. This paper is coming out in the new holiday mini catalog.

The background of the bird was created with the Patchwork Pieces die set and Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper. I wanted to create the stained glass effect. 

I colored the bird with Stampin’ Blends Markers. 

I have a couple more cards from the So Very Merry Stamp Set here’s the links to them:
