Bird in a Nest

Hello again! Today I’m using the new December 2019 Hedgehog Hollow Kit to create a cute bird in a nest card. I’m sharing this on the Hedgehog Hollow blog today, too!

This card came together pretty quickly. I started with a card panel of Neenah Solar White 80# paper and stamped the little bird with Copic friendly ink. Then I stamped the “nest” I created with the swirl stamp in two shades of brown ink.

I colored up the bird with copic markers and added some dots with copics and colored pencils. Then I white heat embossed the sentiment.

At this point, it was difficult to read the sentiment because it was white embossing on white paper. So I used make up brushes to brush on some Distress Ink.

I only inked it up around the “nest” and left it softer color toward the top. Then I die cut the cross-stitched rectangle, and cut down the outer rectangle as well so I could add some sparkly paper peeking from the background!

For the final touch, I added some Nuvo Jewel drops under the sentiment. Isn’t this birdie so cute?

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed this project. See you soon with another card!

Welcome to the Nest Card for nephew

Hello there! I am so happy to announce that I have a new nephew born just last week! So I had this idea to make a baby card using the sweet April kit from the Hedgehog Hollow.

Welcome to the nest!

I have to admit, it took me a while to make this card work for me, but once I had all the elements figured out, it came together pretty quickly!

I used some dies I had in my stash to add to this set, like the cloud background die and the welcome sentiment. And I used multiple layers to give this card some fun dimension!

Look at those sweet little birds getting the nest all ready for baby! I die cut the branch in brown cardstock and green cardstock. Then I simply clipped of those leaves and glued them onto the brown branch. For more interest, I used a copic marker to add shading to those leaves.

The awnings and the birds all got some white gel pen polka dots! (I couldn’t resist…Lol). I used white Nuvo drops on the center of the flower and the door knobs.

This kit is already sold out (it went fast!), but if you are interested in these kits for the future, check out the store here.

I hope you enjoyed this card for my brand new nephew! I made this as a baby boy card, but just imagine a pink version!! (oh my heart) 😉
