Swirly Bird's Nest Wreath Cards

Along with the fun swirls in the Swirly Bird stamp set, you can also find little birdy, nest and eggs images that you can combine with a swirl to make a cute little nest. I tucked my bird inside a blooming swirly wreath…So Cute! Let's take a closer look…

Background Basics—This card begins with a Crumb Cake card base and a 1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of gold striped paper from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a greeting from the Rose Wonder stamp set in Soft Suede ink along the bottom of a 3" x 5-1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock. I matted that onto a 3-1/8" x 5-1/2" layer of Early Espresso, then tied 1/8" Gold Ribbon around both layers before popping them up with Dimensionals onto the card base.

Swirly Wreath—I die cut the Crumb Cake wreath shape using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, attaching it to the card front with a Fine-Tip Glue Pen. It's decorated with tiny roses & daisies made with the two small Swirly Bird swirl stamps. Like yesterday's project, I found it easiest to die cut a bunch of the flower shapes with the Swirly Scribbles die from Whisper White card stock, then stamp over the top of them with the flowers. The largest roses are stamped in Flirty Flamingo, the smaller flowers are in Peekaboo Peach and the daisies are in Sweet Sugarplum. They are all popped up with Dimensionals.

Bitty Birdy—The bird is stamped in Tip Top Taupe and hand-cut with Paper Snips and popped up with Dimensionals.

Bundle It & Save—Save 10% when you purchase the Swirly Bird stamp set and the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits together in a Bundle! If you're getting the Class Kit, be sure to upgrade to the Swirly Bird Bundle to maximize your savings & versatility!

Finishing Touches—Finally, I added a few White Perfect Accents embellishments around the wreath for more eye-catching shine!

Two Cool—For my second version, I tried out some cool-tone colors! You can select ANY colors when you purchase my Swirly Bird Class Kit!

These blooms were made with Pool Party, Mint Macaron & Wisteria Wonder. I stamped a bird nest in Crumb Cake and eggs in Pool Party stamped off once. All pieces were hand-cut with super-share Paper Snips and popped up with Dimensionals.

Sweet Sentiment—This time, I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor Wishes kit. It's a very versatile, all-occasion stamp set that will work with any of the cards from this kit!
