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. 

Save

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! 

Save

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!

• Life is Beautiful card; made from scraps

  December 21, 2020

  ---

  Have you ever made a card from the scraps on your work space?  Or maybe you've been inspired by one as a starting point?  Every piece of this card was a scrap! 

  Save

  The stamped & layered main image was leftover from a project I was making but didn't like the shape for it.  So it sat in a pile for weeks. 

  The tree & greeting are stamped in Navy ink.  The snowflakes are stamped in Pool Party & Highland Heather. I added a few Snowflake Sequins too.  You can see them here.  They're 50% off right now; while supplies last.  They are perfect for shaker cards too. 

  The Highland Heather rectangles and the Navy strip were in my bag of scraps and the ribbon was an extra too!  Easy peasy! 

  I will sure miss playing with this stamp set when it retires on January 4th.  I'm so sad it's going away!  If you don't have it yet; I hope you order it before it's gone.  Click here to see it in my store; it's just $17! 

  Measurements:

  • Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White 3" X 3 5/8"
  • Navy 3 1/8" X 3 3/4", 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip
  • Highland Heather 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" pieces

  Tomorrow's Facebook Live will feature 2 fun fold cards using this stamp set. Tune in here at 11 am Central Time.
