- Use Die Cut Machine and Bag Die cut to cut one bag (with no sides) from Crushed Curry cardstock. Cut one 1¼" x 1½" (small) and one 1¼" x 4" (large) strip from green print paper, tearing along both long edges. Vertically adhere strips along left side of bag front, adhering small strip onto bag flap, trimming ends evenly.
- Use Bermuda Bay ink pad to stamp two birds, Wild Wasabi ink pad to stamp two branches, and Soft Suede ink pad to stamp two branches onto Whisper White cardstock and sentiment. Fussy-cut the birds and the branches and cut the sentiment into a strip, following the curve of the words. Antique around outside edges with ink pads as follows: Blue Bayou onto birds, Bermuda Bay onto sentiment strip, Soft Suede onto Wild Wasabi branch, and Wild Wasabi onto Soft Suede branch. Use Embossing Brush to antique Blue Bayou ink pad onto bird wings.

Use Dimensionals to adhere both small brown and green branches in the same manner along bottom edge of scallop edged top, referring to project photo for guidance.
- Use Black Glaze Pen to dot bird’s eyes and Yellow Glaze Pen to color bird beaks. Allow to dry. Use Dimensionals to adhere birds and greeting strip onto bag front.
