Make A wish

 Sharing some new goodies, I have had them for a little while but finally got around to using them. I got some Wood Veneer cardstock from Amazon and tried it out making the nest from it, hoping it would look more like twigs. I also did a bit of inking on it. My new bird is nestled inside.


  • Simon Says stamps - Rustic Nest die cut from Wood Venner cardstock and Sweet Songbird die
  • Graphic 45 - Botanical Tea papers 
  • Poppy stamps - Eyelet stitches die
  • Tim Holtz - Funky Floral #3 dies and Quote Chips
  • Queen & Co. - Baby Blue Pearls

I would like to share my card today with the following Challenges,

Just for you

 Once again I only managed to get head on pics of my first card, and it has already been mailed. But I did add a bit of dimension with foam adhesive tape, to some of the ephemera in this paper pack.


  • Studio Light - DIY Block Vintage Roses paper pack. Papers and ephemera
  • Diamond Press - Heart Gem


I would like to share this card with Love those pretty papers challenge.

The next card is one I sent to one of the older ladies in our congregation that is home bound. I am sure like us all she is dreaming of spring.  I haven't used these stamps before.  The bird stamp is solid and the actual bird is clear, I stamped onto pattern paper so the bird would have some kind of pattern to it, and fussy cut it out, as well as the umbrella, and the two sentiment tag, the dream was also stamped onto pattern paper and punched the circle out.


  • Autumn Leaves - Wellies n Brellas stamp set (fussy cutting)
  •  Martha Stewart - Circle punch (dream stamp)
  • Spellbinders - Lattice Rectangle die
