Two Spring Birdsong Birdhouse Shaped Cards
The Hunkydory 'Spring Birdsong Concept Card Kit' was a total impulse buy! I saw very pretty birdhouse shaped cards in the shop window, adored them and immediately went in and bought the kit! I headed into my craft room on Thursday evening and made two cards ready to give to Lesley and Wendy on Saturday. They loved the cards and kit too!
Here are both cards.

Flowering Vine Congratulations Card
The SU! 'Vine Design' stamp set and 'Flowering Vine' die set have been in my stash for quite a while and I finally got round to using them for an engagement congratulations card! Here's the card and envelope together.

Bird Best Wishes Diorama/Shadow Box Card
I made this shadow box card last year and Lesley asked me to include it as a project for her and Wendy to make on one of our crafty get togethers. I decided on a couple of design tweaks for this version of the card, just to mix things up a bit! Here's the card and envelope together.

Butterflies Hello Teepee Card
Kelly Acheson shared a teepee card fun fold card on this video and I've not made one before so I was keen to give it a go. I tweaked the measurements slightly - I cut three squares of Basic White CS at 4 1/8" square and cut two pieces of patterned paper at 3 7/8" square. The small triangular pieces I left the same, cutting two 1 1/2" squares.
I've used the SU! 'Butterflies and Flowers' Layering Decorative Masks to create the butterfly. I was really intrigued by these when I saw them in the January to June Mini Catalogue and had to get them. Dena Rekow from the Creativity Cave has this wonderful video showing how she used some of the flower masks. I tried those first and found the flowers easier to work with than the butterfly - only because I made it hard for myself by making the butterfly body a different colour to the wings! Honestly, that's too much of a faff and I won't be doing that again!
Here's the card and envelope together.
