Hi peeps!  Happy Saturday!  It's dreary and rainy here today, but I got a dose of sunshine when the mailman rang my doorbell with my TCP order!  I couldn't wait to play with my new goodies, so I checked out this week's TCP Tuesday challenge (which is to make a shaped card) and headed up to my studio.

I chose to use the Pennant CutUps for the base of my card and since I was head over heels for The Tweetest Things, that's what I reached for first!  I cut the coordinating Home Tweet Home CutUps out of Paper Thin Wood Veneer, then stamped over the die cuts with the birdhouse and roof from The Tweetest Things.  I stamped a few of the leaves and layered them in the corner behind the birdhouse, then cut the Easy Rosettes CutUps from some Sweetly Smitten paper.  I layered the banner behind the birdhouse to accent the heart shaped opening, then used the small rosette to accent the top of the birdhouse.

My mailman also bought me a sweet little package from Viola Mahr's shop on Etsy, so I just had to use one of these gorgeous trinket pins and a tea dyed mini tag from my new goodies.  I split up the sentiment from The Tweetest Things to fit my tag, then tied it on with some Brown Sugar Divine Twine.  I finished off by topping my bow with the heart shaped cutout and added some Stickles and liquid pearls.

Absolutely beautiful card Julee! I've long admired your card making talents for good reason. Your cards are always just flawlessly put together in color and style!

I also have to say that I really think its super cool that you still purchase from other stamp companies. A CLASS ACT all the way!

What a great idea cutting the card into a diamond shape. One that I will certainly think about for a future card myself. TFS.
