Hummingbird Friend Scene

Happy Crafty Day to you all! Jill here today to share this sweet hummingbird card I created with the new Hummingbird Floral set and a few other fun new things!.

Hummingbirds are tiny yet fierce creatures, known for their agility, endurance, and ability to find sweetness even in the most challenging environments. Across cultures, they symbolize joy, resilience, and lightness of being. I love seeing their itty bitty nests in the summer–amazing one bird can fit, let alone a little chick!

I colored the Hummingbirds and Flowers in the set with OLO Markers which blend like butter, making it easy for even those of us that are not experts to be able to blend colors easily.

I built this little scene using the new Shadow Box Dies along with the Notched Squares dies. I did some ink blending over the various layers and then used dimensional foam adhesive to give each layer a little oomph!

I chose a sentiment to use from the new Friend Greetings set and layered the whole scene on a card base with foam adhesive. I finished off this sweet card with a bit of twine to tie it all together–wink wink. ☺️

I thought I’d close out with a couple quick little fun facts about hummingbirds:

• A hummingbird’s heart can beat over 1,200 times per minute during flight!
• Hummingbirds are the only birds that can hover in place and fly in reverse due to their unique ball-and-socket shoulder joints.

So there you have it–some crafty how-to and some fun facts to share with your friends on your next hike!

Hoping your day ahead is a crafty one!
