A Birdhouse for all seasons. I was looking through my Cottage Cutz Spring Dies and I came across last years BIRDHOUSE Die. I had used it several times last year but mainly for Spring cards. As I stared at it I thought what about Halloween?, What about red birds?. The first picture shows the birdhouse basically as it was intended to look like, bright and cheer-y. The birdhouse next is a haunted birdhouse with a witch bird (green bird with witch hat). Wacky hanging shutters and spider webs. The bats were cut from the heart on the die, I just scalloped the bottom of the heart off. I used a lot of black and brown ink to shade pieces dark.
The card I finished is a winter-y Valentine card. I used red birds with white flowers and heart. The cloud like shape is the Cottage Cuts Flower from the
Stitched Flower with Button Die. I wanted the cloud to have the general shape of the mini flowers. . plus I needed a light color area for the verse. The branch with leaves are from the Cottage Cutz
Blue Jay Die. This die has a lot of uses throughout the year. Red, White and Blue for a patriotic birdhouse. . Red & Cinnamon for a gingerbread house. . .on and on.
Thanks B

love these, where could I get the templets for these or do you sell your work :)
im crafty but not that crafty and birdhouses are my thing
The birdhouse is cut from a Cottage Cutz Metal Die, They can be purchased from a local Scrapbooking store or from on line at Cottage Cutz . . They are really easy to use. All you need is a Big Shot or Cuttlebug machine.
Very creative use of that die, Barry! The possibilities are endless, and I have to thank you for showing us just that! Great job!!
Love ya,
