Country Birdhouse Friend Card

Today, I’m sharing a bright and cheery card using Stampin’ Up!’s Country Birdhouse Bundle. I just love how you can mix and match all of the pieces to create a variety of birdhouse designs.

Click here to view a previous project, a super cute supply box, I created with this bundle. Or, here’s one that uses the birdhouse as a dog house. Click here to view that blog post.

Ok, now on to today’s project. Here are a few details and measurements. Be sure to watch the video below where I offer step-by-step instructions for creating this cute DIY card. (My friend Linda in Michigan inspired me with a similar card. I love when she shares her creative ideas with me.)

Cottage Rose Bundle Samples

Each week, I go live on my business Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/KimQuadePlaysWithPaper/) from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, or add a video. I share what I’ve been working on in the previous week. This week, I feature three handmade greeting cards using Stampin’ Up!’s Cottage Rose Bundle. Find it on pages 56-57 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

I focused on this gorgeous bundle this week because I was asked to create a private card class that included a get well card, a friend card, and a birthday card suitable for a woman. This bundle fits all of those categories, and it’s just gorgeous. Especially when paired with the coordinating Abigail Rose 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.

I needed to design these cards to be easy to make for eight stampers. But they also had to be beautiful.
