Hello and welcome to our latest Blog Hop. Today we are showcasing products from the new annual catalogue which will be available from June 4th. You may have arrived from seeing Nicole's fabulous creation but if you started here, click the 'Next' button at the bottom of this post to continue hopping.
I live in a leafy street very close to a
river and our garden is always full of birds. I love watching their antics and
listening to their songs and was delighted when I saw the new bird-themed
products.
For my project
today I chose to use one of our new In Colours called Terracotta Tile and items
from the Bird Ballad Suite. The Box was inspired by a gift box I saw a couple
of years ago made by Linda Parker. The box is made from a single piece of
cardstock and covered with panels of the Bird Ballad Designer Series
Paper. The 'roof' section was dry embossed with the Corrugated embossing
folder. I cut the hole in the front of the box using the 1 3/8" circle from
the Layering Circle
I stamped the branch and birds from the Free As
A Bird stamp set with Memento ink, coloured them with Blends and then cut them
out with my snips.
To accompany my gift box I
made a thank you card. I used the new Stitched Nested Labels dies to cut the frame from
Terracotta Tile cardstock and attached it to the card front. I then masked the
frame and stamped the little flowers from the Free As A Bird stamp set around
the frame. The 'nest' was made using the Sprig Punch. I stamped, coloured and
cut out the bird and then tucked it into the nest. To finish the card I made a
bow of Whisper White Baker's Twine coloured with Balmy Blue Blends and attached
a little antique coloured flower from the Bird Ballad Trinkets.
I chose to fill my box with chocolates to give as a thank you gift.
