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

August 11, 2022

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!

Fault Line technique with Layered Thoughts – video & free project sheet too

August 5, 2025

I shared this neat technique on last week’s Live video. It’s called the ‘Fault Line’ technique.

Save

The Fault Line technique is where you layer torn papers together. Here I used the Full of Life designer paper with Bubble Bath and Berry Burst. The greeting is stamped on another sheet of this designer paper and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I fussy cut it and popped it up between the fault lines.

Save

As you can see in the photo above I did my greetings two says. The top right is done by heat embossing the greeting with White embossing powder. The lower left is with clear embossing powder.

Here’s the free project sheet if you’d like to print if off or download it. Download Layered Thoughts Fault Line card

Watch the video below to see how this is done. It’s so easy!
