I created this card with a few of the leftover pieces that I had from my One Week scrapbook page. This fun little card was also shown on HSN, although it was difficult to see amongst the other beautiful projects.

Supplies:

Yellow Dots Patterned Paper: Jennifer Davis

Happy Spring & Branch stamps: Taylored Expressions

Labels 1, Nested Birds, Petite Scalloped Ovals, Petite Classic Ovals: Spellbinders

Ribbon: Creative Impressions

Impressability: Spellbinders

Marker & Airbrush system: Copic

Brad: Chatterbox

Corner Rounder: Creative Memories

Brown & green ink: Clearsnap

I mentioned earlier that the birds are hybrid pieces created specifically to match the Spellbinders Nested Birds die. The hybrid files are simple and fun to use. I’ve included them for download here, along with a copy of the matching patterned paper that was previously posted:

To use this or any of my other hybrid printables:

Download and unzip the file.
Open the package file and print it onto the paper of your choice. I recommend whatever white cardstock works best with your printer.
Cut a very rough outline around each bird with scissors.
Attach the Spellbinders Nested Birds dies to each printed bird, matching sizes and lining them up inside the pink outline. Affix with Removable Tape if desired.
Cut and emboss the dies in whichever die cut machine you prefer. Spellbinders dies work fabulously with most other machines, including but not limited to the Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Big Kick, and Revolution.

These hybrid files are made specifically for use with Spellbinders dies and I’m providing them free for personal use only. Thanks!

On Tuesday, Kim Hupke from Spellbinders presented the Wizard and Nestability Dies on the Home Shopping Network. This scrapbook page was displayed during the segment as an example. There are a total of five dies used on the page, as well as paper from My Mind’s Eye, rub ons from American Crafts, and the retired Indulgence Numbers dies from Spellbinders. Both the label and the bird were designed digitally, printed, then die cut using Spellbinders dies. This hybrid technique is fast becoming one of my favorites.The patterned paper is one that I featured earlier and have available for download here.

I’ve also recently become a huge fan of Dew Drops from Robin’s Nest. They add the perfect touch to projects. You can see them on this page surrounding the “1.”

Isn’t my baby Hannah just beautiful? It’s hard to believe she’s over a year old now.
