Happy Sunday morning! I have been having a great weekend and I hope you have as well. Before I move on to my project I wanted to draw your attention to my Card Sale posted yesterday. I posted 70 projects and still have lots available. Thanks for taking a look.
In August I posted a summery project called Hello Birdy using Nicole Heady’s birdhouse box template available for free on her blog.
I thought it would be fun to recreate a project with the birdhouse but with a winter theme.
I traced the front of the birdhouse from the template to the SU designer paper, cut out and popped up on the card front with mounting tape. I created the pine spray, attached the bird with mounting tape and applied little red berries punched with a 1/8” circle punch. I applied Stickles to the berries and branches of the pine for a little bit of sparkle but it doesn’t show well in the photos.
I love the clean and simple feel with all the show being on the bird and pine. I don’t know what I would do without my crimper. It adds just enough texture for interest without being distracting. Have you used yours lately?
Have a great Sunday and I appreciate you stopping in.

Love both the birdhouses.
I have not used my crimper

Your birdhouses and all your work is just beautiful. I visited your Cards for Sale and I don’t know how you can part with any of them, they are all just amazing.
You make the most gorgeous pine and wreath cards. They look so realistic. Some day I’m going to try to make one.
