Simon Says - Cozy Birdhouse Card

Hello my friends, I'm sharing a cute birthday card using the Cozy Birdhouse and Birdies Wafer Dies from Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You release, the Happy Wafer die and Birthday Blitz 6" x 8" stamp set from the Birthday Blitz September 2025 card kit for the sentiment and flowers.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4" and stencilled using Simon Says Stamp Square Dance and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.

I die-cut Simon Says Cozy Birdhouse from Distress Watercolor card, coloured with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and Scorched Timber Distress Ink and assembled.

I die-cut the bird and branch from Distress Watercolor card, coloured with the same inks as the birdhouse. I fixed the branches to the panel with Distress Collage Medium and the birdhouse and bird popped up on Simon Says Thin Foam Squares to create dimension. I accidentally dropped the Scorched Timber Distress Ink pad on to the top right corner of the panel so I inked around the edges to hide that little faux pas and added splatters of Scorched Timber Distress Ink.

I inked the flowers from Simon Says Birthday Blitz 6" x 8" stamp set with Kitsch Flamingo and Scorched Timber for the centres, stamped on to Distress Watercolor card and fussy cut. There are co-ordinating dies for this stamp set, linked below.

I die-cut Simon Says Happy Wafer Die from a scrap of Distress Watercolor card, coloured with Scorched Timber Distress Ink and fixed across the birdhouse with Distress Collage Medium. I fixed a white hemp twine to the birdhouse and added the flowers popped up on Thin Foam Squares.

I stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Blitz stamp set, inked with Versamark, on to a scrap of Distress Black HeavyStock, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, heat set, trimmed and fixed to the panel with Thin Foam Squares.

I added dots to the flower centres using a Sakura Black Glaze and a coat of Ranger Glossy Accents. To finish I matted the panel on to an A2 white card blank. 

I'll be back tomorrow to share a card made with the Birdies, aren't they cute
