While sorting through my overwhelming stash, I discovered this cute strip of retired bluebird dsp from SU! and decided to make a card with it. I found coordinating bits of matching blue dsp, some tan, some green and white and just built the theme around that strip of bluebird dsp. I used a SU! bird punch adding a touch of blue Copic color to the bird and giving him a tiny blue gemstone eye. The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.
I'm sharing this with the Snippets Playground #450 - which of course is to use snippets.
Also sharing with the Four Seasons Spring Season March 2023 challenge
I was inspired by that cute little bluebird in it's nest

A charming little bluebird card.
Once you've finished sliding down the slide, please come to the Treehouse for a natter over a mug of hot chocolate! x
That paper is so fun and matching the bird to it is a wonderful idea and made an adorable card, Carol.
Oh Carol, this card is so sweet! I love the bird punch and your papers! Perfect springtime card except today it's not feeling very springy out. I'm looking forward to spring arriving tomorrow and temps in the 50's! Stay warm today and enjoy what's coming this week! Hugs~
Great use of some of your snippets on this card - would you believe I have that bird punch lurking in my craft room 😉
Your skill about using scraps of patterned paper with a few of diecuts to make fabulous cards is always stunning! How CUTE!!! Absolutely adorable and sweet card, and I have never thought that dark blue could be so cute instead that serious!!!
:D
Love so much the bluebird patterned papers you used, the wing of that adorable punched bird is a true catch-eye and the bird itself sitting on the branch with his gemstone eye is the cutest!
The banners finish the card perfectly. This is a winning for sure! :)
Have a lovely Sunday, dear Carol! Spring is behind the door and hope it will bring a bit of peace and serenity on our poor world.
Biggest hugs ever!
You know I love anything birdy, Carol, so I think this is a precious design and a great use of snippets to make a weeeee dent in your overwhelming stash. Have a great Sunday! Hugs, Darnell
I'm pretty sure I still have some of that patterned paper with the birds on it - and know still have that bird punch (along with the owl). Love your card Carol and the design fits perfect for the paper and bird. Great coordinating papers!

This is really a striking card Carol! I love that bird paper, you have used it well...but then you are Queen of using pattern papers! I have this bird/branch punch and need to use it more, I've always loved it and always admire how you use it. This card is no exception! A beautiful card indeed! Hugs, Brenda
How adorable, your paper and bird are so perfect together!
It's all so sweet! I have that punch and you've definitely inspired me to pull it out (although not the paper or I'd be copying you!)
Lovely.
This is so cute and I like your paper choice. You are reminding me to get my SU bird punch out. Especially for this time of year!
Great paper to use with that super bird punch. Cute card.
Oh, you have been quite busy! So sorry I am playing catch up here. Your card with the sweet bird and matching bird paper is so awesome...love it! I believe I have that bird punch from SU. I must brush the dust off from it and use it! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
