These bird houses are all the rage right now. How do you make them? Easy!!!! Purchase the NEW Stampin' Up! Mini Milk Carton Bigz L die and add a window and a roof. It really is that easy!!
The one on the left uses Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede and Old Olive. There is a touch of the NEW Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Pad for the birds wings. I also used the NEW Extra Large Two Step Bird Punch, 1 1/4 Circle punch and Medium Window Sheets for the window. The roof is 2 x 4 1/2 and I used the Scallop Edge Punch along the bottom and as a mask to do the sponging up the roof.
The one on the right uses Orchid Opulence, Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery and So Saffron. These are the same colors found in the NEW Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper Pad that I used on the roof. I used a piece of DSP that measures 2 x 3 1/2 and glued it to a piece of Pretty in Pink that measures 2 x 4 1/2. I used the FREE Sale-a-bration Scallop Trim Border Punch for the bottom of the roof and added some embossed Butterflies by using our NEW Beautiful Wings Embosslit in various colors.
I use our Mono Multi Adhesive to put the box together and to attach the roof. I love that stuff!!
How do you like my prop for the raised bird house? It is one of our new Clear Mounts for use with our NEW Clear Mount Stamps, for more info on the Clear Mount Stamps, click HERE. Notice the super comfy rounded edges, these blocks are fabulous!! I suggest ordering the Block Bundle #118491 as you get a bit of a discount and then you have all the available sizes.
If you ordered one of my Occasions Mini Catalog product shares, the shipment should be here tomorrow. I am hoping to get a bunch of it cut and packaged after my workshop tomorrow night and get your packages out to you Saturday and Monday. If you would like to get your own shares of the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog papers, ribbons and embellishments, click HERE for the details.
