For me my home is not complete without a bird house. I moved a couple of years ago and when I did I had to leave my 2 bird houses. One had a family and the other I completely forgot to grab. So I went searching for a new bird house for my yard when I moved. I also love the color blue. When my MIL moved in she had pictures in her stuff and many have blues in them. I was so excited to fill my walls with her stunning blue pictures. She is also a quilter and so the gingham on my card represents a quilt pattern. We have quilts hanging throughout our home.
I am going through my stash of stuff that I have received over the years and found a large stack of bird die cuts. I made 7 of these cards. They will come in handy when I need an extra hugs or two to send out to teapot recipients or others needing hugs.
Layered the birds, cut down the papers and die cut the word hugs. Finished off with sequins and gems for the eyes.
I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.
Thank you for looking!

What a wonderful welcoming card for Annette. Blue birds represent happiness and good luck so this is a perfect welcome card. The blue gingham is so striking and works perfectly with the wonderful card design you chose here. I love reading how you enjoy being surrounded by bird houses Lisa. ~Karen.

The blue and white is stunning Lisa...it looks great and just pops off my computer screen. Sorry you had to leave your birdhouses behind...we have lots of birds in our yard (bluebirds, hummingbirds, finches, mocking birds, cardinals) that my husband and I like to watch and feed.
