Sweet Garden Bird Winter Scene

 Happy Thursday crafty friends!  I'm sharing just a few details of my card that features Altenew's beautiful Sweet Garden Bird layering die set.  If you would like to see more, please visit my Instagram for my reel!

I used several of the Crafty Necessities Cardstock colors for this Sweet Garden Bird.  I really love how there are gradient shades of cardstock that work so well together!  All of the colors I used are linked in the supply list below.

To set the winter vibes, the background layer is Arctic Mountain cardstock embossed with the gorgeous, and my favorite, Layered Snowflakes 3D embossing folder.  After I trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼", I swiped a white pigment ink pad over the raised areas to set off the snowflakes.  Then I added white splatters to the entire panel.

I glued an A2 sized piece of Brushed Silver Metallic cardstock to my card base and then glued the Snowflake embossed layer to the card.

I die cut three green cardstock shades from the Intertwining Leaves layering dies and added a few white splatters to it.  I glued it to the card and trimmed the excess from the edges.

I perched the Sweet Garden Bird on a branch I die cut with dies from the Intertwining Leaves die set.  I die cut more Brushed Silver and Arctic Mountain cardstock for the sentiment from the Timeless Sentiments 3 die set and popped it up with more foam tape.

Elegant Berry Branch Holiday Card

I'm sharing a bit here about this card that my reel over on Instagram features!  I've used the beautiful Berry Branch Layering Die Set for the third time with a totally different look!

I die cut two of each of the three Berry Branch dies.  I used Parrot, Olive, and Brushed Silver cardstocks shown in the list below.

After I glued the layers together, I added them to my card that has an embossed panel with the Layered Snowflakes 3D embossing folder.  I trimmed off the parts of the branches that were overhanding the edge.  Don't toss those!  Tuck them in here and there to fill in around the sentiment and ends of the branches.

The sentiment is from the Timeless Sentiments: Holiday Edition die set.  The shadow layer is the silver metallic cardstock, and the top is two layers of 110# white cardstock.

This card was really that easy!  I love making quick cards that look so beautiful and elegant!  Thanks so very much for stopping by!
