Hello! Today, I am sharing a spring-themed card featuring the Festive Birds die set from Creative Expressions (I bought my set of dies from 123Stitch). I say spring, but since the birds are wearing winter scarves, it’s also winter-themed! Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring, and yet it’s been anything but spring here in the PNW. (I do realize that Phil is statistically often wrong in these matters!) Despite colder temperatures, the birds have returned and are chirping away in the morning. I don’t know how they stay warm!
I die-cut the pieces from a variety of cardstock colors, listed below. I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it on Stampin’ Up Pool Party. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have recently reorganized my cardstock by color and it is so much easier to choose colors!
Thanks for visiting!
Supplies: SU Pool Party, SU Lost Lagoon, SU Calypso Coral, SU Crisp Cantaloupe, SU So Saffron
I’m not a bird person crafting wise…but OMG these guys with the stitching details are so darned cute. Your colors are adding to their attractiveness. Fabulous card, Jean.
Oh how CUTE! Love your color combo! I’ve been recently smitten with:
Blushing Bride
Calypso Coral
Coastal Cabana
It’s funny, I have my SU cardstock by alpha but DT cardstock by rainbow.
Funniest card ever! Great idea, fabulous execution. Good question. Where is Spring?
How fun is this card? I LOVE the colors you used for the birds and that sentiment is hilarious!! GREAT design!!
Wow, fantastic job on this! Love the layers. I opened the living room curtains yesterday & saw a red cardinal on a branch in front of my window.
