Its almost that time of year... more sunshine, things coming back to life like tree buds and plants and wild life.  There is nothing like the sound of baby birds chirping in the springtime!  And this stamp bundle reminds me of just that.  

Here is a card that you can use for so many occasions made with the NESTED FRIENDS stamp and die bundle:

I combined Granny Apple Green and Tahitian Tide card stock for the base and mats.  The dies include these awesome little leaves that emboss too, giving amazing detail.  I wanted those a little darker so I cut from Old Olive card stock. 

My bird is resting in her nest!  I used my Paper Snips and Foam Mat to cut a slit into the nest and inserted her tail feathers through the slit.

Here's a close up to see her sitting in her nest, but also take a look at the background.  There is a speckled stamp in which I stamped the whole white background with before embossing with the HIVE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER (which you can earn for FREE when you order the Nested Friends bundle or any $50 product purchase until Feb. 28, 2023).  Note:  The Sale-a-Bration Hive folder item # 164424 

Yes, Sale-a-Bration end February 28, 2023... just a few days away!

As we head into the last one and a half weeks of Sale-a-Bration, I wanted to share are some additional cards of inspiration that I have not posted yet.   Don't forget, Sale-a-Bration ends on February 28, 2023.  

A quick and easy card featuring the SAB set Adorable Owls that you can earn for free.  And my favorite In-Color, Fresh Freesia, card stock and ribbon.  I used Crumb Cake and Pumpkin Pie Blends to color the owl. 

Starry Sky card stock, ink and ribbon is the In-Color star here.  Along with the free SAB stamp set Beautifully Happy and new letter dies called Alphabet A La Mode

For my last inspiration, it uses 2 Sale-a-Bration items; Adorable Owls stamp set and Dandy Designs DSP paper.

This one was designed by Linda Bauwin and I love how she used the Basic Borders Die for the angle cut. Fun, bright and different!

Fancy Flora Suite Collection:  two stamp sets, two die sets, ribbon, embellishments, Fine Shimmer paper and 6x6" paper stack, it has everything! 

I managed to get a little bit of everything into my project.  This is one of those where one photo just would not capture it all.  My favorite part, besides the Fine Shimmer paper, is carrying the design on the inside!  

Do you see the shine & shimmer in the upper left corner?  That is the Fine Shimmer Paper!  The catalog simply does not show how pretty that paper pack is. 

• My Soft Succulent card base is 4-1/4 x 11" scored at 2-3/4" from each end.
• You will need 4 pieces of Evening Evergreen card stock that is 2-5/8 x 4-1/8"
• You will need 4 pieces of Designer paper measuring 2-1/2 x 4"

For the smaller elements:

• Label.. Soft Succulent CS 2 x 3-1/4" and Basic White 2 x 3"
• Flowers... Basic White 2-3/4 x 4-1/4" to stamp & die cut (3) three flowers
• Gold Fine Shimmer... 2 pieces that are 2 x 3" for leaves on front of card
• Ribbon was cut to 18" in length

Extra Alteration for inside middle:  If you want the panel to match the other two, cut a piece of Evening Evergreen to 4 x 5-1/4" and Basic White at 3-3/4 x 5"
