I had so much fun last month I couldn't wait to participate again this month. I started quite a few different projects as I was not sure I liked the direction they were going. It hit me at 4:30 a.m. Monday morning on what I should make. I have always wanted to stamp on a birdhouse. What do you know, I had an unfinished wooden birdhouse in my craft closet. So the final project started...here is the finished product.

Stamps:  Butterfly Prints, Flight of the Butterfly, Asian Artistry, Pocket Silhouettes, Wonder Weaves (retired)

Paper:  Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip

Ink:  Pacific Point, Always Artichoke, Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip (marker), Staz-On Timber Brown

Paint:  Delta White and Burnt Umber

Accessories:  Two-step bird XL punch, pearls, circle punch, CB swiss dots embossing folder, sea sponge (non-SU), spanish moss (non-SU), Mod Podge (non-SU)

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted. 

The following pictures are showing more details on the sides and back.  I wanted to show the roof since I spent a lot of time on it and it was fun to do.  I ran the Chocolate chip cardstock through my cuttlebug and then punched out circles.  I added some paint to the roof to give it a worn look.

While cropping the pictures, I noticed the butterflies are larger than the birds.  Hmmm...guess these are baby birds coming out of their house.   Funny how I did not notice this while I was making it.

Below is my card that I made for my first PALS HOP.

 

Stamps: Flower Fancy, Itty Bitty Bits, Love You Much, Baroque Motifs

Paper:  Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Early Expresso, White

Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard, Old Olive, Certainly Celery

Accessories:  blender pen, brads, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, square punch, polka dot embossing folder, dimensionals

The big bloom was stamped in black, colored with a blender pen using Cherry Cobbler and More Mustard ink.  I cut out the bloom and attached it with a dimensional dot.  I stamped and punched out the little flowers to add more color.  I added the sentiment and bird, from the Love You Much set, for more details.
