Pretty Pink Posh March 2021 Blog Hop

 

Hi friends! Welcome to Day 1 of the blog hop to kick off the brand new March release, available NOW at Pretty Pink Posh! This amazing release is full of Spring and Easter products that are sure to inspire you!

 At the end of the post, I will list all of today's participants if you would like to start at the beginning.

My projects are featuring the sweet new set, Spring Robins, along with some new stencils and dies. I created a fun and SIMPLE custom birdhouse for these spring cuties, with just a few dies, that I will show you how to make.

To begin, I stamped the images from Spring Robins, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Spring Robins Coordinating Dies.

My first project is a set of mini slimline cards, which measure approximately 3 1/2 X 6". I began by 

cutting Bristol cardstock with the largest rectangle from the Slimline Peekaboo Windows Dies. I placed the die over it again, adjusting the length to 6 inches, and ran it through my machine. Next, I inked the background with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide inks using the Basketweave Stencil. I cut white mats, just slightly larger than 3 1/2" and layered my stenciled backgrounds onto them, then attached to a card base. I cut white Scallop Circles Dies and layered them over a light pink and lavender circle to create a soft, Springy backdrop for the robins. I attached the circle to the cards, then added the colored images with foam tape for dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in black ink to complete my mini cards.

My next project features a custom birdhouse, a home just perfect for these sweet birds! To begin, I cut an A2 piece of white cardstock using the Pretty Petals Background Die, removed the interior pieces, and layered on top of an A2 piece of light pink cardstock.

To begin, I stamped the images from Spring Robins and Mom, colored with Copic markers, and die cut with the Spring Robins Coordinating Dies and Mom Coordinating Dies.

Next, I created the birdhouse:

First, I cut a piece of woodgrain paper using the Stitched Duo 3 Dies to create the base of the birdhouse. I then cut a white rectangle frame using the Scallop Frames Dies, which will be cut apart to create a scalloped roof and base for the birdhouse.

I cut the frame in half, lengthwise, then placed it on the top of the tag (as shown in pic), trimming the length of the roof to look proportional. I then trimmed along the edges of the roof, cutting away the woodgrain paper. Using the leftover piece of the scalloped frame, I cut it to fit along the bottom of the birdhouse.

Next, I created a window in the birdhouse using the circle die from the Valentine Circle Coordinating Dies, and the Simple Strips Dies were used to create the post for the birdhouse.

I white heat embossed the sentiment onto dark brown cardstock, then adhered it to the back to complete the birdhouse.

Lastly, I trimmed down the Simple Strip and adhered to the card, attached the birdhouse using foam tape for dimension, and arranged the stamped images onto my card to finish!
