This BRAND NEW adorable little Bird #2 Sizzlit set, by Brenda Pinnick, has been sitting on my shelf calling (or should I say chirping) to be used! I love Brenda's design style and I gasped in delight when I saw this set.
It was just perfect for a Mother's Day card.
I used my original Pop-up Tree die (an oldie but a goodie) which has been retired, but is still available (check the link in the supply list). Instead of using the Pop-up Tree as it was designed, I separated it into two trees and created a corner out of them. I trimmed the feet into triangles and attached them to either side of the fold. Now the tree will pop up as two trees, giving me more room for decorating with adorable birds!

During the live show, you'll get to interact with me while I teach the project, asking questions in the live chat room. However, since it will be Good Friday, if you can't make the live show, you can always go back and watch the show later - it's recorded, archived and FREE!
Hope to see you there!
