Build-a-Birdhouse Cards with Cathy and Bobbi

Hey friends! Cathy here sharing a tweat card today featuring the cute Build-A-Birdhouse Dies! I just love the different detailed pieces that you can use to make each birdhouse unique.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build-A-Birdhouse Spring Themed Friendship Card by Cathy Chapdelaine (featuring Little Birdie, Picket Fence Border Dies, Fluffy Cloud Border Dies)

To begin this mini slimline card, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 6” and lightly inked the very top with Spun Sugar Distress ink. I die-cut 3 panels with the Fluffy Clouds Border Dies and overlapped them on the 3” x 6” panel after inking each lightly with Tumbled Glass Distress ink. The top panel measures 1 1/2" x 3” and I adhered it approximately 1/2” down from the top edge. The middle cloud panel measures 1 1/2" x 3” and the bottom panel measures 3” x 4”. I stamped the “tweatheart” sentiment from the Little Birdie Stamps on the middle cloud panel in Memento London Fog ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder before adhering it to the 3” x 6” panel.

Next, I cut a white card base 6 1/4” x 6 1/2" (scored on the 6 1/2" side at 3 1/4" and folded in half) and adhered the 3” x 6” panel to the card front. I die-cut a fence from white cardstock using the Picket Fence Border Die, added some gray Copic details and adhered it 1” from the bottom edge of the 3” x 6” panel. I inked 2 pieces of white cardstock (1 1/4" x 3” and 3/4" x 3”) with Shabby Shutters Distress ink and die-cut the top edge of each with the grass border die from the Picket Fence Die. I adhered the 1 1/4” x 3” piece to the bottom edge of the 3” x 6” panel slightly overlapping the fence. Before I adhered the 3/4” x 3” grass piece, I needed to adhere a birdhouse and tulips. I die-cut the Build-a-Birdhouse elements from gray, yellow, pink and white cardstock and Copic colored the white house portions. I adhered a birdhouse to the left side of the card front. For the tulips, I stamped and Copic colored the tulip planter from the Garden Critters Stamps and die-cut it using the coordinating dies. I adhered it over the post of the birdhouse and then adhered the bottom grass piece so that only the tulips were peeking out. I then adhered the second birdhouse.

To finish, I stamped 2 adorable birds from the Little Birdie Stamps on Neenah Classic Crest 80lb solar white cardstock, colored them with Copics and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. I added 3 little die-cut hearts from the Build-A-Birdhouse Dies. Finally, I die-cut the “hello” sentiment from the Slimline Scalloped Frame Dies from a light and dark yellow cardstock and overlapped them slightly to help it stand out a bit more.

I hope you enjoyed and are looking forward to Spring as much as I am! Thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please visit my blog www.inkredibleadventures.com and you can also find me on Instagram as @cathy.chapdelaine.

Hi friends, Bobbi here. With spring just a few months away, It’s time to start thinking about singing birds and cute birdhouses. Sunny Studio Stamps has a cute new birdhouse die set, called Build-a-Birdhouse, that has a number of fun design elements to make one-of-a-kind houses for our feathered friends. There’s two darling birds in the set, too.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Build-A-Birdhouse Spring Themed Birthday Card by Bobbi Lemanski (featuring Big Bold Greetings, Fluffy Cloud Dies)

To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I splattered watercolor paints in vibrant colors on a white card base. I added a cloudy sky with a stitched cloud design. Sunny Studios offers a cute stitched cloud die set called Fluffy Clouds to make a fun stitched sky background. I applied Distress Oxide Ink in Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina for a varied sky color. I attached the blended background, bordered with 2- 1/8″ strips made from green pattern paper from the Spring Fever paper pad on the top and bottom, and attached it to the splattered front panel.

I made three birdhouses, mixing and matching the die cut pieces. Each one was colored using shades of pink, oranges and aquas. Additional details were added like scalloped roofs, hearts, flowers and more. Each birdhouse was adhered to a post and attached to the card. I added a number of blue birds to the houses, too.

Using the Big Bold Greetings stamp set and coordinating dies, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” in two tones of blue and cut it out. I attached it with foam tabs to make it stand out. I added additional flowers around the greeting and a few sparkly sequins, too.

Big Bold Greetings Cards with Vanessa and Tina

Hello to you! Vanessa here with a simple Thank You card using the Big Bold Greetings stamps.

Sunny Studio Stamps: Big Bold Greetings Baby Elephant Thank You Card by Vanessa Menhorn

I trimmed a panel of white cardstock slightly smaller than my card base and stamped the thanks with grey ink to create my patterned background. After I had adhered the panel to the card, I stamped the Baby Elephant and the Garden Fairy butterfly onto a piece of cardstock, colored everything with Copics, die-cut the elements with the matching dies and adhered them with foam tape.

Then I stamped the sentiment, die-cut it and added it to the card. Finally, I added white gems and used a white gel pen to add highlights.

I love big, bold greetings! Have a lovely weekend, see you next week!

Hello crafty friends, it’s Tina with a sweet birthday card featuring the beautiful Big Bold Greetings stamp and die set. There are a lot of sentiments in this set which makes it a super versatile addition to your stash!

Sunny Studio Stamps: Big Bold Greetings Baby Elephant Happy Birthday Card by Tina (featuring Spring Greenery, Make A Wish, Frilly Frame Dies, Stitched Arch Dies)

Since you can never have enough birthday cards; I choose the ‘Happy Birthday’ and stamped it in a dark pink Memento ink. After die cutting the sentiment, I also cut two extra layers in white Neenah cardstock so I could stack them for dimension.

Next, I stamped and die cut all my images using the adorable elephants from Baby Elephants, the hats from Panda Party and the cake from Make A Wish. I used my Copics for the coloring, selecting bright Spring colors.

In my design I included a wreath arch made with large and small branches from the Spring Greenery dies. To decorate this arch I also cut a bunch of colorful little flowers from the Wonderful Windows die set. These flowers were the perfect size to scatter all over the greenery.

My card panel was cut from a piece of Neenah Solar White paper using the Frilly Frame Eyelet Lace die. I really love this die as a panel because it has a lovely scalloped edge. I didn’t want my background to be too distracting, so I just added a hint of purple with a shiplap stencil from my stash and Distress Oxide Dusty Concord. 

Next I die cut an arch shape out of the panel using the largest of the Stitched Arched diesTo assemble the card, I first glued the remaining rectangle part of my panel directly to a white card base. Next, I mounted the stitched arch portion with foam tape to the base.

After building the greenery arch following the shape of the stitched arch, I added the little flowers and embellished them with a Pure White jewel to the centers. I completed the card by adhering the cake, elephants, and bold sentiment. 

Another birthday card ready to send!  Thank you for joining me and happy crafting!
