congrats on your new nest

Hi friends! Happy Sunday – I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend and it’s warming up a bit where you are! I’m thrilled to share another Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today. This fun new home mini slimline card features dies and stamps from our new Build-A-House Collection! I can’t stop raving about all the products in this collection – from the basic build-a-house dies to all the fun add-on birdhouse, cathouse and doghouse dies and stamps! So much fun! I also used the weathered brick background stamp and quite a variety of Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs to create the colorful birdhouse scene. The colors in these paper packs are so bold and inviting, and definite must-haves for your paper stash!

I cut my go-to size mini slimline card base (3-1/2″ x 6″) from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from 80# Solar White and a paper from the Rose 6×9 Collection Pack. I stamped the brick background on the 80# Solar white panel in Catherine Pooler Twilight ink using the Weathered Brick Background Stamp.

I used the KIS Cuts Build-A-House and KIS Cuts Build-A-Birdhouse to cut the birdhouse, birds, nest and flowers from all the different papers from the Rose, Royal, Jade, Lilac, Lemon and Mango 6×9 Collection Packs along with the Farmhouse 6×9 Collection Pack, Neenah Classic Crest Solar White and CutCardStock Silk Glitter Opulent Opal.

As I always say about projects like these – the assembly is the most fun! The finishing touch on the front was adding a sentiment stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink from the KIS Stamps Build-A-Birdhouse which I cut into a flag.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a leftover strip of the stamped brick background on the front. I stamped another sentiment from the KIS Stamps Build-A-Birdhouse in black ink and layered the panel on another paper from the Rose 6×9 Collection Pack.
