Decorative Birdhouse

Hello everyone! It’s Leica here. Today I want to share with you a card I made using the Decorative Birdhouses Dies and the Stitched Birds Dies to create a lovely square-shaped card.

To start, I made a 4.5 inch square card base in white cardstock and ink blended the front with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink. I used a heavy hand on the bottom area and brushed the top area with a lighter hand to create a nice ombre effect. Then, I cut a white cardstock into a 4 inch square and ink blended it with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some white ink on the card panel and card base for added texture.

Next, I cut the birds, birdhouse, and florals in various color cardstock using the Decorative Birdhouses and Stitched Birds dies. I love how easy it was to cut and layer these elements to create a beautiful scene on my card panel. I added a piece of baker’s twine on the birdhouse for an extra touch of cuteness.

To finish off the card, I white heat embossed the sentiment “Missing You” on a strip of black cardstock and foam mounted it on the card. I think the sentiment adds a perfect finishing touch to the card.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my card today and feel inspired to try out these dies. Thank you for stopping by the blog and happy crafting!
