Sweet Songbird candy nest box – a cute & easy project!

Marilyn brought this adorable little treat basket to our Flowerbug's Team gathering a few months ago.  I can't believe I haven't shared it here yet! 

She used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle to make it.  See this bundle here.

Isn't it cute!?  She stamped the nests in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and fussy cut them out – one for the front and one for the back.

The box is made with a 3 1/4" square of Soft Suede card stock. Score at 1" on all sides. Cut up on four of the score lines to form your box.  Glue the 2 fussy cut nests on the front & back. It fits a few wrapped chocolates inside.  

*Tip; before you form your basket, stamp a greeting on the bottom panel if you wish.  Smart!

She stamped the greeting on a strip of Crumb Cake card stock and curled it around a toothpick. It's glued behind the bird. 

The bird is punched using the Bird Builder punch from Real Red card stock.  She sponged around the edges slightly to accent the wing etc.  The belly is in White and is also punched out.

It's just the sweetest little treat!  Thank you Marilyn!

    I shared these amazing guy cards on last week's video.  They were on of my April card club projects.

    I've shared this fun fold card before but using the Woven Textures and Country Woods DSP put them over the top in my opinion!

    The Father's Day greeting is from the Gone Fishing stamp set.  The hearts are from the Friends for Life dies.  

    You can see the inside view of the Father's Day card below. I used the Spring Corners stamp set for accents.

    Here's a close-up of the Birthday version. The star dies are from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.  Love these!  Of course the Nested Essential dies are perfect for the layered greetings here.

    Below is the inside of the birthday card. I used the Layered with Love stamp set for the little presents border.

    There is a 7 1/2" X 1" scored brace that creates the pop-up effect when the card is opened.  Otherwise it lays perfectly flat for mailing and is an A2 size card.

  • Freestyle Creativity with ephemera & leftovers!

    Have you ever gathered some of your extra die-cuts and layers and just played?  We did this at my Team Meeting this weekend and they loved it!  

    I put out lots of extra die-cuts and layers plus the Fully Flowering and Greetings for All ephemera plus the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes and they had fun making their style of cards.  These are mine: 

    Ephemera cards Save

    Here are each of them below.  The left two include some ephemera and the right two feature dies and greetings I had on hand. 

    Ephemera card 3 Save

    I found that layering dies and ephemera onto another layer like the white die-cut above or the Lemon Lolly & Black DSP layers below helps anchor them.

    The colors in the Stripes & Florals cards and envelopes are Balmy Blue & Bubble Bath.  Nice soft colors you can accent easily.

    See these pretty cards & envelopes here.

    The cards above & below feature a bunch of dies I had on hand. Above includes Basic Beige and Gold. 

    The card below includes Basic Gray & Pretty Peacock.

  • 3 new kits by Stampin’ Up! now available in the store

    Stampin' Up! released 3 new kits in their substantial Kit Collection this month.  Two are cards and one is a beautiful bouquet of paper flowers.  

    CUST_LPG1_PRD_EN_0425_DEMO_DELIVERABLES Save

    You can find each of these kits and many more on this link.  Even though I am an experienced crafter I love working with kits.  It's a lovely break from thinking and planning.  But if I want to be creative I can still jazz up the kits.

    My favorite is the Paper Bouquet kit.  I ordered two – one for my daughter for Mother's Day.  What a perfect gift!
