Christmas Card Club "Cardinal or Christmas Bird"

Good morning all.

Made a little progress with the holiday plans yesterday but we're still only half way there...it's exhausting! Did manage to get all the dirty washing washed and dried. Nothing ready for tonight though!!

I'm a day early with my card for the Christmas Card Club as I have a couple of DT posts going live tomorrow. Mary has asked to see "Cardinals or other Christmas Birds" this time.


Unfortunately I still don't have any Cardinals in my Christmas stash so decided to use this cheeky little crazy bird instead. I'm lucky to have the bird stamps and dies and some of the accessory sets....and I used them all here. The background and the bird are cut from pieces made during a distress paint marbling play. The hat was stamped onto red and white card and pieced together, then I added stickles for texture. Mat dies are from Wplus9 and Spellbinders. I finished with some googly eyes.

Think I'll make another two of these and use them for the kids this year!
And since I had made and scheduled this card early I did just that!!



Made exactly the same way as the first using differing birds and colours.

If you'd like to see what the rest of the ladies came up with you'll find the list in my sidebar.

    Oh did I smile big at seeing these goofy Christmas birds! I just got the Crazy things set (been backordered) and you know, I never thought of this idea. I LOVE it! Each one is just goofy & cute as can be...and absolutely delightful. I love #1 - that bird just slays me everytime I see that woeful expression. I can also pretty much identify with #3 & his bird-a-tude at times too! #2 is the way DH looks at me when I've done something stupid (well he thinks it is!). Great fun, and super colors too! TFS & I'm so glad you had fun with the theme! Fun is good - for all of us! Hugs.

    I have these stamps and dies and have yet to finish a card with them!
    No surprises there.
    A great selection of Christmas cards. I love them all. It's the faces that crack me up, I have a few friends who often wear the same one!
