A little Birdie

Last week I had club and then I was off to the Missouri Middle School Association at Tan Tara in Osage Beach Mo. Saturday was icky. It was cold, raining and dreary. I guess it was good I was inside and going to meetings. On Sunday afternoon the sun came out as we headed for home( near St.Louis).

At home today is was 70 degrees and beautiful. So when I got home I had lots to do, but this card so reminds me of spring. Just the other day there was a bird setting on my deck.

Supplies used are D1338 Bird Basics, X7108B Day Dream, and D1280 Spot on Backgrounds.

The bird is made using a kissing technique. The solid shape of the bird(D1338 Bird Basics) is inked in Spring Iris and then it is stamped on the Spot on Background to remove the color where the light dots are. I thought it was a cool affect.. The tail is cut separate and then glued down. The ribbon is between the tail and the bird body. The bird's body is pop-dotted to give it some dimension. The background Chocolate paper is textured and sanded.

Thanks for looking

Always find your happy place.

Mini Wallet Album/Butterfly Wings

Found this idea somewhere online. It is so cute. It holds up to 9 wallets. Really liked the butterflies, so I had to use them. I used D1341 Butterfly Wings, Amethyst, Sweet Leaf, Baby Pink, Heavenly Blue

Be sure to stamp the top flap with it closed. As you can see one of my butterflies is upside down because I didn't.

I love the saying " Love is like a Butterfly, It goes were it please and pleases where it goes" I think that is a great saying.

Yellow piece wrapped around it is 1 inch by 8 inches. I used a brad to close it and attach the butterfly

Here it is partially open

The top and bottom are open, but none of the flaps have been opened yet.

The flaps should open alternately.

The flaps are 2 3/4 by 71/2 and are scored in the middle.

The amythest is cut 4 by 11, It is scored at 1 3/4, 2, 5, & 8 inches. The whole project is really easy. Email me if you have questions. All supplies are Close To MY Heart.
