Today I'm playing with a pop-up birdhouse die set, and once again I used products from a bunch of companies to complete my projects, so fun!
supplies: colored and kraft cardstocks, a blue woodgrain dp, Scrappy Tails Birdhouse Pop-up dies, Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers Dogwood dies, Spellbinders Tweet Cardinal dies, The Greetery Opposites Attract stamp and matching die
The birdhouse set has dies so that you can make your card into a pop-up one. The birdhouse die is actually quite a bit taller, so that you can make a slim-line card, but I chopped it off at about 6" tall today. The set gives you options for the opening in it: a circle or a heart. That was a no-brainer for me! I haven't played very much with this cute cardinal either, so that was my second choice, and then because of the blue color I chose for the birdhouse, I thought that some neutral cream flowers would look best, so that's where the dogwoods came in. And I always like to use this sentiment when I make cards that have birds featured.
Here's another one with spring in mind.
supplies: colored cardstock, Honey Bee woodgrain dp, (retired) Distress Grey two-tone woodgrain cardstock, Scrappy Tails Birdhouse Pop-up dies, Pretty Pink Posh Spring Foliage dies, PTI Feathered Friends 2 bird dies, Simon Heart dies
This time I put the sentiment on the back of the card.
supplies: Simon Spring Blessings, Doodlebug enamel heart
These are so much fun I made another version, using the scalloped circle opening this time and yet another bird, colored with markers like a bluebird. I left the flowers off this time so that I could send this to a guy.
supplies: white and kraft cardstock, Honey Bee Stamps plank design paper, Scrappy Tails Birdhouse Pop-up dies, Tim Holtz Feathered Friends and (retired) Funky Foliage dies, markers to color
Once again, I put my sentiment "Just Because" on the backside of my card.
I'm entering my first card into this month's Double D Challenge: Birds.
Do you enjoy watching the birds? It's a favorite past-time for us! We even made a garden devoted to our little visitors!

OMGosh, I love all your cards so much! What fun to have the birdhouse shape and the flowers and branches on the front. I love playing with bird dies and these are all outstanding. I have two of the three birds. I'm oftentimes mesmerized by the birds at the feeders where I can see them out the windows. Beautifully done, Lin! Thank you for sharing with us at Double D!
