Hello crafting pals! It's MAY! Wow, the year is flying! It's almost Summer! I hope you're having a great week so far. My week has been busy and starting tomorrow we are going to a church conference which I am very excited about! Life is good in the neighborhood!! Today I'm here on the blog as part of the giant blog hop celebrating the new May 2023 release from Pretty Pink Posh! You know Paulina has made more new cute things for us to create with, and everything is perfect for late Spring and early Summer.....
The blog hop this month is three days, and as usual, there will be an Instagram hop next week and I'll share another card then too. Today is my day in the hop lineup and I'm happy to share a project with you! Prizes, supplies, discounts and the link list are at the bottom of my post today. Let's get started!
THE PPP NEW RELEASE IS ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR SHOPPING NOW!!
I am seriously in love with everything from the new release!! Today's card features the brand new Decorative Birdhouse Dies and the brand new Stitched Birds Dies! I also used the previously released Just a Note Script Dies! LOVE.... My finished card is a white A2 card base layered with blue, gingham and white. I wanted a real hot Summer day vibe... You know, a gingham tablecloth, sunflowers, and birdies chirping....
Here's a side view so you can see all my layers! I adore that new sentiment die...it will be perfect for so many cards!
I had my idea for my card and I knew I wanted Sunflowers....so I got out my Spring Foliage Dies set and used yellow and brown to create small scale Sunflowers to add to my birhouse. They are so dang cheerful!! My birdhouse was constructed with two colors of brown cardstock and gingham paper. I matched the blue in the bird to the gingham paper for a nice look.
I gently pinched the petal of the sunflowers to make them a bit 'rustic' and to pop up off the card. Here are the different elements of the birdhouse... I added a sweet red heart over the door!
I used the Stitched Birds Dies to make that little guy! I can't wait to make more birdies too! I'm thinking Christmas Cardinals already! Love.
That's it for today's project! I hope you have a blessed and happy day! Keep on crafting, and I'll see you soon! XO
