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 meets Snowflake Splendor for a beautiful winter card

  October 22, 2020

  ---

  I created this card for a recent FB Live.  I was asked to share ideas and samples with my Life is Beautiful stamp set for a private Demonstrator only Facebook group.  What an honor it is to be asked!  

  Here's one of the cards I made.  I'll share more next week!

  I stamped directly onto pieces of the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Did you know it's on sale this month?  Check out all 15 packs of paper on sale here.

• Snowflake Wishes Fun Fold card; easy but beautiful!

  October 21, 2020

  ---

  Here's another pretty fun fold card with the Snowflake Wishes suite of products.  Marilyn made this beauty. 

  Save

  It's a side fold card which is super easy to do!

  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front layers, the Snowflake Splendor designer paper on the left and the Snowflake Wishes bundle for the stamps & die-cuts.   Note the pretty Glimmer snowflake!  Our Balmy Blue Glimmer paper is gorgeous! 

  She used Pacific Point ink on the greeting and the faint snowflakes in the background were done by stamping off a few times to get a lighter hue. 

  Measurements: 

  • Balmy Blue 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2", stitched rectangle die-cut is 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Whisper White inside 4" X 5 1/4", stitched rectangle die-cut is 2 5/8" X 4"
  • Snowflake Splendor DSP 2 1/2" X 4"
