Fun fold birdhouse card...

 This card was made with lots of odds and ends that were sitting on my desk. It is a fun fold card that starts out as an A2 top-fold card base.

After making a tiny pencil mark at the center of the top and then another mark 2 1/4" down on each side of both the front and back of the card, I made diagonal score lines that went from the mark on one side, across the center point to the pencil mark on the other side. That was repeated with the other two marks so that the inside would fold as you see in the photo below:

After making the diagonal score lines, I measured 5/8" in on each side at the bottom of the card. Then I cut from the 2 1/4" mark down to the 5/8" mark to angle each side a bit inward.

Once the base was made, the fun part began--decorating my card. 

I die-cut a round hole in the DSP that covers the front and backed it with some gray cardstock before gluing it down.

I added the pink lace sticker to the roofline and bottom. The striped ribbon is also a sticker. 

After die-cutting, inking and assembling some flowers and a bird, they were all added to the front. The bird and sentiment are popped up, and the centers of the flowers were made with Nuvo Drops.

As you can see at left, I added a stamped sentiment and a few small flowers to the inside.

When I make this card again, I think I will add some strips of cardstock for a roof and a 4 1/4" strip across the bottom as a base.

This was a fun card to make and I'm looking forward to making more of them. I think this design would make a great Easter card.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
