Slimline Birdhouses + Video

Hello crafty friends. It’s Lisa Mears here. Today I’m sharing a slimline birdhouse card. These birdhouses can be used on cards for just about any occasion.

I used the Spring Birdhouses stamp set which includes three birdhouses, a branch, and several sentiments. The A Little Birdie stamp set includes five birds that coordinate perfectly with the birdhouses.  I also used a flower stamp from the Spring Flower stamp set to add to the branches.

I colored my images using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens in the following colors — Peach Pink, Turquoise Green, May Green, Orange, Light Blue, Lemon Yellow, Mid Brown, and the Blender. After I colored them, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For the card background, I used the Layered Clouds Stencil along with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink. I cut the background to 3 1/4” x 8 1/4”. 

I added the largest Slimline Scallop Frame dies to the stenciled background and then added my stamped images and sentiment. Finally, I added the card layer to a slimline card base which measures 3 1/2” x 8 1/2”.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  Have a wonderful day!
