Warmest Wishes (and Maybe a Tiny Bird Sweater)

Good morning, crafty friends!

It’s one of those chilly Canadian mornings when even the birds look like they’re second-guessing their decision to stay north for the season. You can almost see them perched in the cherry trees, eyeing the last few leaves and wishing they had a little knit sweater to get through the day. That cozy winter feeling inspired today’s card — simple, soft, and perfectly seasonal.

The design features this sweet little bird from Penny Black - Feathered Friends, stamped and colored with gentle, warm tones. A touch of ink blending in the background through a subtle stencil with Frayed Burlap Ink adds just the right amount of depth — like a whisper of frost on a windowpane. A perfectly coordinated matting layer from the Spice Paper pad. The “Warmest Wishes” sentiment fits right in, sending a little warmth where the temperature clearly forgot to.

It’s a quick and easy layout that comes together in no time — perfect for when your fingers are too cold for complicated crafting but you still want to spread a bit of cheer. Sometimes, a simple card and a cup of something hot are all you need to make the day feel just right.
