Hello there my crafty friends!  I just love this sweet birdhouse card, it really works with the slimline profile I think!  I started by cutting the Slimline Decorative Oval Aperture Trio die out of white card.  I added some mounting foam to the back then attached an Arctic Blue card backing.  Next I cut two of the birdhouses from the Home Tweet Home die set out of tan card, adding a red roof and front.  I cut the branch from the A Little Birdie Told Me set out of tan card, then added the green leaves with a Forest Moss distress marker.  I attached little bits of branches to all three apertures, then added the birdhouses with mounting foam.  I cut the sentiment several times out of Ruby Red card and stacked them, then glued it into the centre opening.  I added a couple of flying birds to the top corners.   The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

  2. Morning Sue and all that pop in today. I can understand why you love this so much it's so colourful but most of all so very very cute. You certainly knew what you were doing when you released these slimline dies I'm thinking the tiny dies for our shadow die played a massive part and the slimline dies have certainly woken up our Latte, and our get well etc tiny dies, but your 'home tweet home's dies are simply adorable.
    Sending much love to all. Stay safe keep well xxxxx
