Happy Monday. Making Christmas cards with an outdoor theme is one of my favorites to make. I had fun paper piecing the new Tina Wenke Winter Birdhouse on my project today. Paper piecing is a little time consuming but well worth the effort. It allows patterns and textures to be added to an image for a unique look. I used designer paper and regular cardstock stamped with black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I painted white craft ink on the snowy parts of the image and embossed with white embossing powder. All the different sections of the image were stamped, cut out and layered. I added a touch of red Stickles to the red berries for a little Christmas sparkle.
Thanks for stopping in. I hope you have a great week.

I love your tiny candy-striped bird house and it’s sweet little inhabitants. The paper piecing looks so intricate and skilfully done. The little touches of snow and sparkle finish it off so nicely.
