It's the 15th of the month and time for a brand new challenge here at ItsyBitsy. This time the theme is 'Anything But a Card. We want to see what you can come up as long as it is not a card. You can really go to town on this one and we are eager to see your creativity!
To inspire you along the way I created this paper birdhouse. It is intended for a baby shower where the theme is 'Feathering the Nest'. This will be part of the decoration. The template for the birdhouse is really straightforward, you can find loads of them online and they're very easy to assemble. The fun part is the embellishment. I decided to incorporate the Sizzix Brick Wall Die all over the front, side and back facade of the house. I added some detail to the roof using my rotary cutter and for the little hole in the centre, I used a circle die with a scallop circle die. I think the cutest thing about this project is the hay inside the birdhouse - ItsyBitsy actually has craft hay and that worked WONDERFULLY for my project!
