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!
