  1. I too love birds, I love the way you change the dies up to make so many versions of the dies. Outstanding!

  2. Fantastic! I also love birds on cards, you have quite an array of them! I just bought The Greetery’s Market Basket dies, but I am not putting flowers in them….wink, wink.

  3. Love the birds! Love how you can use your dies in so many different ways! You are so creative, I want to spend a day with you crafting and watch you in action. I wish my job was as fun as yours! But you never show the mess you make or the clean up after the projects are done! 🙂
    Thank you for inspiring me to make stuff!

  4. So cute and loved how you adjusted the dies to make different types of cards. Thank you.

  5. Wow! These are fabulous! I’m obsessed with house themed dies and your cards with these are amazing. I just went on a pinning spree. Thanks for the inspiration day after day.

  6. Hello, can you share what type of cardstock you use for all of your die cuts? Not all the colors, just the brand and maybe the weight? Thanks so much! Love these cards!

  7. Awesome cards Jennifer, love them all.
    This is indeed a great way to make a lot of different card with the same die set.
    Thank you so much for sharing, stay safe and have a wonderful long weekend!

  8. Yes I am a little behind on your videos. But I must ask: Where did you source the scalloped circle? I am missing it entirely.
    Thanks for all the work you do!
    Diane

    1. Diane pardon me for answering your question. If you always look through the blog, Jennifer always lists everything she uses and where she got them. The scalloped circle that you are referring to is part of the Scrappy Tails Slimline Birdhouse Pop Up die set. Hope that helps!

  9. This is by far one of my most favorite cards you’ve done!
    I love this. You make it look so easy.

    Thank you, as always, for the inspiration.

  10. I just loved these. They are so cute and fun and so many ways to use them. Even though….the price point is high and needing as many different sets to get the same result as you….wow that can empty a pocket quickly. But they sure are cute!!!! Thanks Jennifer for showing us so many ways to stretch a die(s).

  11. I totally enjoy and appreciate your videos. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your ideas, tips, information and inspiration. This video was so much fun! I’m a huge bird lover too and purchased many of the diecut birds you show here, but I wasn’t sure how to use them. I’m in love with the birdhouses! I’ve made a card with the cockatoo ( feathered friends) and have everything ready to make several more. I’m so impatient that I didn’t finish the last step and glue everything down. I finally caught up with another video you did with the W plus 9 bird and flower sets and your GREAT tips for mass producing. These 2 videos combined have given me the help and inspiration to accomplish my last step and with a big smile, I’ll have a nice stash. My sincere thanks for everything you do! Mega kudos! Stephanie 😉👍
