Country Birdhouse Holiday Card
For today’s post, I share a holiday card using a mix and match of products but also featuring Stampin’ Up!’s Country Birdhouse Bundle. Find this bundle on pages 48-50 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. Don’t you love that you can transform all-occasion stamps and dies into holiday creations?
Review the list below to see the other ingredients I used to create this festive DIY card:
Crumb Cake cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Country Woods Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Birdhouse pieces include Cherry Cobbler, Pretty Peacock and Crumb Cake. I embossed the house with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, a brand-new embossing folder available in Stampin’ Up!’s September-December 2024 Mini Catalog (goes live early September)
Stamped the bird with Memento ink, die cut, and colored with Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends.
Sentiment from Greetings of the Season stamp set, stamped with Cherry Cobbler, and die cut with Greetings of the Season Dies.
Greenery stamped with Pretty Peacock and die cut with the Winterly Tree Tops Bundle (available in the upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog).

Country Birdhouse Box
Today, I’m sharing a fun supply box inspired by my friend and teammate, Gina. She demonstrated this box design at our team meeting. I just had to share the design with all of you. I love that you can store so many things in this handy box, such as cards, embellishments, adhesives, and more. And, you can make it with card stock.
Be sure to watch the video below to see how this box comes together. I use the 2024-2026 In Colors and Stampin’ Up!’s Country Birdhouse Bundle for my box. (Just a quick note: Stampin’ Up!’s stamp set and die bundles are on sale for an additional 10 percent off through June 30, 2024.)
You’ll need two sheets of matching card stock measuring 8 1/4 x 9 3/4. Follow the scoring and cutting directions below. You can also follow along with the video.
