Handmade Greeting Card For A Special Day

February 13, 2023January 18, 2023 Tina Newberry

Mom and Dad often have nesting bluebirds at their southern home. Such a treat to see them. And now I have a chance to see them at my home too because Dad made me a bluebird house. The wait is long. I’ll entertain myself with paper blue birds until a family moves into my yard.

Create dimensional songbirds quickly with the Sweet Songbirds Bundle. With the Sweet Songbirds Stamp Set and Songbird Builder Punch, you can layer your songbirds however you please, with some completely punched or with a combination of stamped and punched pieces.
