Finding a card like this in the April 2012 Cricut magazine (created by Aimee Kidd), I decided to adapt it to make this card for Mum. I wanted mine to be much larger than the original so set about altering the measurements of all the cuts and changed the bird and some of the decorations. I used the Birdhouse from the Cindy Loo cartridge and the bird from the Straight from the Nest cartridge.
I used Bazzill to cut my card base and Fancy Pants - Beach Babe papers for the other cuts and punching.
Also used:
Martha Stewart lacy border punch, Woodware scalloped circle and frond punches,Stampin' Up circle punch, Flat backed pearls, Ribbons, Colorbox chalk inks, a heart shaped button,a Lili of the Valley greetings stamp, Tim Holtz note holder pin thing-a-me-jig and some bakers twine.
This is one of the cards I made for this month's DT gallery for Scrapology. Please take a look at the blog if you want more details of the challenge and prize.
The idea is to choose three items in a row to include on your card, I chose layers, lace and Pearls, but notice it also fits lace, flowers and Punches or die cuts.
Happy birthday Mum !
Thanks for looking.
