All things Birdie

little yellow folk birdie


Here at the Summerhouse we love all things birdie, you could say there is a bit of a birdie theme going on.


Patchwork Birdie from the local garden centre

Birdie cushions


In fact the cushions were the inspiration for my Birdie cards, I've made three so far, I think I'm  becoming a bit addicted. I usually just make a card and then move onto another design, but not with the birdies.

First I made this one.

Followed by this one.


and then this one.
I really can't stop making them, I don't know where it will all end.
Birdie Card recipe.

First I made a Birdie template and cut out my bird using pink embossed flower paper from my stash. 
I then cut out a wing using pretty floral papers and used a button for the eye. (upcycled from my old PJ's)
I then attached the bird to a pale blue card.
I used one of my lovely Stabilo pens (brown) to draw the branch.
Then stuck Mulberry paper flowers on with a teeny tiny seed pearl beads stuck in the centres. I stuck them on with Diddy Dots, you've got to love a glue dot, I know I do.

The supplies I used

 
I hope you are all have a happy birdie weekend.
Happy Crafting

    1. Aww thanks Rachel,I really enjoyed looking at your blog. I've made yet another birdie card since this post, although I think it will be my last for a while until I can stock up on more buttons for eyes. Looking forward to seeing your Owlie card.
