STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:

Begin with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Basic Black card stock.

Use a Paper Trimmer to crop a piece of Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4 x 4 3/4.

Cut a diagonal 1″ up from the bottom on the left side to 2 1/2″ up from the bottom on the right side.

Adhere as shown to a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Basic White card stock and to the card base with Stampin’ Seal.

Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to crop a piece of Basic Black card stock with the 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 Scalloped Contours die and a piece of Basic White card stock with the 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 Scalloped Contours die.

Adhere together with Stampin’ Seal and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Crop with the flamingo and two wings from a piece of Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper using the Flamingo dies and a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Adhere the wings together as shown with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and to the flamingo die-cut with Stampin’ Seal

Adhere the flamingo to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Use a Stamparatus to stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment (Friendly Flamingo Stamp Set) in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Basic Black card stock.

NOTE: The Turtle Friends Stamp Set has a similar happy birthday stamp set that you can

Cover with white Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder, set with a Heat Tool.

Trim closely with a Paper Trimmer or Paper Snips. Adhere with snipped-to-size Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

POP OF PERSONALITY! Embellish with two Matte Black Dots.

PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. Trim to size with Paper Snips. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.
