Holiday Hummingbird Greetings by Jean Okimoto

A bright Christmas-red Layered Hummingbird delivers a holiday message here. Mixed textures of velvet paper, plain cardstock and Rainbow Reflections Mirror Cardstock add dimension to a festive little bird. Hi, Jean here on a wintery fall day.

Cut the berry print from the Garland 6x6 pack and natural cardstock slightly larger than 4.25" x 5.5". Glue the two sheets together, then cut them with the largest Wrapped Stitched Rectangles die. Pressure-emboss the attached sheets with the new Merry Christmas Streamlined Script die.

Cut Merry Christmas Streamlined Script from green cardstock and attach it to the background. The double layer highlights the embossed greeting and creates the perfect guide to easily attach the greeting. Nice and straight - without wiggle-words!

Cut Classic Pine Needle Sprigs from green cardstock and trim the bottom right section of the large sprig. Color the stems with an orange marker - a brown marker will be too dark. Attach the small trimmed section over the corner print. Attach the remaining sprigs to the top corner.

Cut the main section of Layered Hummingbird from red velvet paper or red felt attached to adhesive label paper or a sticker sheet. Cut the wings from the red Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad 6x6. Cut the remaining pieces from red cardstock. Color the beak and a spot for the eye with a black marker. Assemble the bird.

Add red Bright Jewels. Cut an A2-sized sheet of cardstock to protect the card front for mailing.
