Happy Thursday you lovely lot. I had been meaning to share before today however life got in the way. Nevertheless I am here today with The Gentleman Crafters Design Team. The project focus on Birdhouse Dies [158846] but I did incorporate the Happiness Abounds Bundle [158824].

Birdhouse Dies
Create beautiful paper crafts with the Birdhouse Dies. Quickly and easily create elegant die-cut embellishments you can colour and layer in numerous ways for endless possibilities. Use the birdcage as a central element on your paper projects and the birds as background or decorative elements on your handmade cards and scrapbook pages. Or layer the images together and pair with the coordinating products for even more versatility!
Todays Project
I started the design of this project focusing on the birdcage die from the Birdhouse Dies [158846]. The die itself is rather delicate so once I had die cut it from the Gold Foil Sheets [132622] I cut another three from Basic White A4 Cardstock [159228]. This strengthen the die cut shape before I adhered it onto the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430].
As previously mentioned, I used the Happiness Abounds Bundle [158824] for the floral images. These images were left over from an Artisan project that I need to share with you. Don’t you love leftovers. I water coloured these images with Rich Razzleberry Classic Stampin’ Pad [147091] & Blushing Bride Classic Stampin’ Pad [147100]. To finish the project I used the gold sequins from the For Everything Fancy Sequins [159187]. These are my new favourite embellishment. Seriously if you haven’t got them – you need to.

Beautiful card, Martin! I just got my Pretty Birds bundle today, but I really don’t want to put a bird in that cage. Thanks for sharing an alternative use for it, as well as the tip about layering the die cuts.
