New Year Nests - Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper

   Recently I made a set of 10 cards to go with a community service out reach gift that my church was involved in.  We weren't sure when the gifts were being distributed so I went with a general Happy New Year/winter theme using the Nests of Winter DSP.  Fussy cutting some of the birds right from the paper a great way to show off how cute they were.

  All of the cards are the same with just the fussy cut birds changing.  Some of the birds didn't have much of an attached branch so I also cut out some of the separate branches and berries to fill them out a bit.  Each one has a Basic White thick card base.

  I used the Snowflake Sky embossing folder to emboss a Basic White panel for one side of the card front and then used a piece of the DSP in a nice birch wood pattern for the other side.

  The Spotlight on Nature dies were used to cut the the sentiment circles.  The sentiment is from a retired set from a few years ago called Joyful Flurry and seemed perfect for this project.  I stamped it in Garden Green and then popped the circle on dimensionals.

  Finally the different fussy cut birds were added using glue and dimensionals.  I added a Cherry Cobbler bakers twine bow as well as some small red gems that I found in my stash.  The Nests of Winter DSP is currently out of stock but Stampin' Up! hopes to have it restocked in the next few weeks so if you're looking for a great paper for some winter projects or cards for bird lovers definitely add this one to your list!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?

All off the current supplies used to make these cards can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
