Storybook Blocks - Winter Birds: 30 Decoupage Wood Block Designs with Funny Sayings

Storybook Winter Birds - 30 plump, fluffed-up winter birds in soft vintage storybook watercolor, made for decoupage blocks, plus sheets of funny typewriter saying strips to glue on top. Real backyard birds with real markings - cardinals, chickadees, blue jays, bluebirds, snowy owls, waxwings, a nuthatch, a woodpecker, a goldfinch, a wren - each in a tiny knit hat or scarf and each with attitude. A grumpy puffball cardinal, a chickadee giving side-eye from the feeder, an owl with snow on its head who simply does not care. Pair any bird with any saying - "Not a morning person. Or an afternoon person." "Five more minutes." "I'm not ignoring you. I'm buffering." - and you have a little block people stop and laugh at. WINTER, NOT CHRISTMAS No ornaments, no Santa - just snow, berries and pinecones. These sell from the first snow straight through February, and bird lovers buy them all year. MADE FOR A SQUARE CUT FROM A 2x4 The block sheets print six birds to a page at 3.375 inches - a hair under the 3.5 inch face of a 2x4 cut square, so the paper sits neatly inside the rounded edges. The cheapest wood there is, and the blocks sell at every craft fair. WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE 24 square bird designs (3600 x 3600 px, 300 DPI) 6 wide bird designs (3600 x 2400 px, 300 DPI) Block sheets PDF: all 24 squares, six to a page, sized for 2x4 blocks Wide block sheets PDF: the 6 wide designs, three to a page Saying strips PDFs: 20 winter sayings, 60 everyday sayings and 24 bonus Christmas sayings in typewriter type, sized for the blocks, ready to cut out Every PNG separately too, so you can size them for any block, tin, tray or card The art itself has no words on it, so any saying goes on any bird, and the bottom of every design is kept simple so the strip has a place to sit. HOW TO MAKE A BLOCK Paint or sand your block. Print a sheet on regular or rice paper, cut out a bird and a saying strip or two, and glue them down with decoupage medium. Seal with a coat or two on top. Distress the edges with sandpaper if you like the worn look. PERFECT FOR Mantel and tiered tray decor, craft fair and market makers, bird lover gifts, ornaments, gift tags, winter cards, tins and boxes, and junk journals.
