Simple Mounted Bird Christmas Card

Select a 5x7 inch white card blank as your base. Position the card with the fold at the top, ready to work on.

Select one of the pre-printed Holly and Berry mounts featuring a bird design. Place it alongside your kraft card base.

Edge the kraft card mount with black ink by tilting the ink pad and tapping it along all four edges. This will create a defined border that makes the mount stand out when attached to the card base.

Position the mounted bird image in the centre of your card blank. Adhere it in place using an ink pad or adhesive of your choice. Apply wet glue underneath the mounted bird topper to secure it firmly to the card base. Press down gently to ensure all layers are properly adhered. Arrange the white foliage pieces around the mounted bird panel to frame the focal point. Once you're happy with the placement, glue the foliage in position using craft glue.

If desired, add small red gems or sequins to the foliage or bird for extra sparkle. Position them carefully to enhance the design without overwhelming the image.

Allow the glue to dry completely before displaying your finished mounted bird Christmas card. The card features a blue and cream bird perched on branches with autumn foliage, mounted on a kraft card base.
