Bird House Christmas Ornament - Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L + Stampendous Blog Hop

Bird House Christmas Ornament with DIY Stamped Embossed and Watercolored 3D Bird Embellishments

Hi! I'm sharing the a wood bird house ornament that I altered with products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Stampendous! for the Winter holiday season. I created layered bird embellishments using stamps and dies, embossing powder, and 3D Foam Circles. I also used Creative Photo Corners for shingles, and added frosty accents to the house for a more realistic and seasonal finish. This project is part of the Holiday Blog Hop and Giveaway with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Stampendous! Both design teams are bringing spooky fun or holiday cheer into our projects this week. Be sure to visit both the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Stampendous! blogs to learn tips and techniques, to be inspired, and to enter the giveaway!
