Hi everyone! Here in Iowa we are dressing warmer like this NEW Memory Box Bundled Bird!
It’s one of the new layering dies and pairs well with the NEW Bird’s Nest and New Small Poinsettia Layers!
He looks just like I feel when I’m all bundled up with a scarf wrapped around my neck! lol
I die cut in white cardstock and colored with Copic Sketch Markers. Easy to get varying shades of the few colors then. Colored cardstock would work just as well and use up some of those scraps that we don’t throw away! Glue the pieces together. There aren’t very many and it’s easy to see what goes with what.
I die cut the Aurora Snowflake Frame three times and glued it together. I like doing that for photo sake…I’m not sure I would do it if I wasn’t taking pictures. Everything else is just one layer of cardstock.
I used Birch Press Design Merry Christmas Vintage die for the sentiment. I die cut it in gold mirror cardstock and Memory Box glossy black cardstock. I popped out the merry Christmas from the black die cut piece and glued it over the top of the gold die cut piece. That way I didn’t have to handle the individual letters. I did add a little piece of my favorite super thin mounting tape to the back of the gold cut to hold the letters in the cut. Then just little dots of Tombow Mono Multi on the back of the black cut to adhere it over the gold.
Die cut the Small Poinsettia Layers and glue them together.
The Bird’s Nest I die cut in kraft and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink and a mini ink blending tool. I adhered it together by laying it over the package picture for placement!
This is an A2 size card. The blue base panel is a piece of watercolor cardstock that I did some stamping and inking on awhile back but didn’t end up using. I liked it for this card. A blustery, Winter day blueness!
I added some Memory Box clear Fairy Jewels here and there to lend to that Wintery feel!

Wow Pam this is just gorgeous…I just love the bird all warm and cosy with his hat and scarf…xxx
Thank you!!!
Don’t you just love the large dies that “shoulder the burden” i.e. are the focal point and make it so the card doesn’t require a lot of additions! Love the plaid background too! Beth
That background that evokes snow is perfect to highlight your winter bird! Thank you again for the great inspiration! Beth
Lovely design, the bird is fantastic and great colors! Thank you for joining the Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge. Anita DT

This is so neat Pam! Your colors are always just right. He looks all warm and toasty in his nest!!
A really lovely card Pam – your elements are beautiful and perfectly balanced! It may be easier to use coloured card stock but your blended pieces have so much more depth! Thanks for sharing with us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge!

Dang it, Pam… this is the one thing I may not be able to resist, and I’ve been trying to be so good seeing as how I barely have time to use my current pile of never been used stuff. Love this bird and nest. Your whole card is just darling!
He’s so handsome, all bundled up and ready for the winter — what a fun card!
Oh my goodness that birdie is so cute in his scarf…and the background!!!! Love this Pam!!!
