Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White;
various cardstocks & Paper Studio Vintage Christmas
Dies - Poppystamps Bird House Pop Up Easel Set
Other - old Spellbinders kit ephemera;
white gel pen; foam tape
I die cut all the elements and assembled - very fun! I cut the Nordic Bird Bunch die set's birdies from multiple cardstocks so I could mix and match colors. I included a patterned paper, inspired by Cindy's Nordic Spectacular Butterfly.
The birdhouse pop-up is one of my fave Poppystamps sets & aren't those birdies the cutest?! Oh, and btw, Poppystamps is our May Diva sponsor! Check out our Celebrations challenge HERE.
I decorated the house with ephemera from an old Spellbinders card kit that I'd left at Dad's house. The sentiments are from there too. Here's a view of the card popped up:
I'm also adding my card to Merry Little Christmas #68 where Anything Goes and to Poppystamps Challenge #138 - Inspired by Nature.
That's it for today. Thanks to Jo and Joanne, to MLC, & to Poppystamps for fun challenges & thanks to you for visiting. Have a crafty day!!

Love your Nordic birdies Linda, the mix of colours and patterns looks great here. Cute birdhouse shaped pop up too, another great festive card for your stash. Thanks for playing at Christmas Kickstart with us!
Love the birdhouse and darling birds, Linda! How creative to use the branch with the stockings here!
Aww, super cute and tweet! Perfect time to pull out this easel die.
What a delightful combination of products!
I love birds and this card is adorable. The bird house is beautiful!
So sweet, Linda. And yay for you filling that holiday stash.
Linda this is so cute!!
Your Nordic dies look great in winter mode! I love the little sweater look on the birds so much! I am a big fan of easel cards and your birdhouse is such a cute one with the snow! Thank you so much for playing along at Poppystamps PSC #138 Insired By Nature.
The Nordic dies work a tweet (ho, ho, ho) on your card, Linda! Gorgeous work as always and I love the green bird house. Thanks for joining the fun with Joanne and me, Jo x
This is so super cute with so many fabulous colors and layers. Thank you for playing along with us at Poppystamps. Please stop by again soon.
Hi Linda! I love your sweet birdhouse! Lots of sweet details that bring this scene to life!
Hello again, Linda. This is my second time stopping by, but I wanted to mention a couple other things. First, I'd like to invite you to come play along with us at Word Art Wednesday. The challenges are always Anything Goes and we have really awesome prizes. Your art is so sweet, and I'd LOVE to have you join us:

The other thing is that I saw you're a member of the Sweet Adelines. While I've never joined, I have joined some of their (local) gatherings just for fun. I'm also a singer (retired for the most part other than church, weddings, funerals, etc.) but it's always wonderful to share the love of music and singing with others. Please let me know if you're ever performing/competing in Las Vegas. I'd love to come watch and listen. My 5 minutes of fame was when I sang back-ups for Barry Manilow back in 1982. When you love to sing, you love to sing. "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord..." Have a blessed week.
