I used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches as the starting point for my card. I stamped the set's "there's no place like home" sentiment on a pale gray label die cut with one of the dies from the CutUps Framed Up die set. It was adhered to a light blue cardstock panel over a strip of red dotted washi tape.
I used two new coordinating CutUps die sets--Bird Friends and Birdhouses to make the other elements for my card. I stamped the birdhouse image on the die cut, then filled in the opening with a red glitter covered heart. The roof was die cut from gray cardstock. I adhered the roof directly to the cardfront, then added the birdhouse with foam tape for dimension. The bird image was stamped on the matching die cut in red pigment ink. I used foam tape to adhere it over the birdhouse. After all of the elements were in place, I added a trio of white sequins around the panel for a little sparkle. I layered the finished panel on a pale gray card base.
