Birds N Flowers......Boxed Set for a Thank You

My birds and flowers together...........

And the boxed set for a thank you gift.............

Happy weekend to you all. :)

Birds........

When ever I do a new design.....I look up lots of photos on Google and study them to try to find the best way to capture that particular shape. I was asked to do flowers and birds last week.....and wanted to try to do something a little different than I've done before. 

My hummingbirds are the same as always. I've thought about giving more dimension to the wings.....but decided to just stick with what I know.

I love goldfinches......so that is what my mini bird cookies became. :)

And then finally my bluebirds. I love bluebirds too.....so this was really fun.

Next post.....flowers. Love them too! lol

Making Sweet Tweets :) (Tutorial)

Along with flowers, snow, cookies, snowmen, and a few others.....I love birds. :) And you know by now, that when I love something, I will try to make it into a cookie. lol

Today I want to show you how I made some fun bluebirds. They are a little "wonky".....as my 17 year old daughter would say. :)

First I took some basic cutters to make all the parts. The wings are made from a pushed out dog bone cutter (courtesy of Sweet Sugar Belle and her brilliant ideas!). The beak is made from a small leaf cutter. 

Push all the pieces together to come up with this:

Once baked.....you have to make the choice to either outline it in black or not. I did one of each.

I chose to do two different designs.....and hope that a few photos will show you what steps I took to decorate them.

I love the simplicity of the one on left....and the cute pattern of the one on the right.

And here's the final pic of those two cute birdies. :))))) Simple, yet sweet.

See the finished designs HERE.

I hope your day is filled with sweet tweets. :)
