Hello & welcome to another project share. This project is part of the ESAD blog hop, which celebrates the creative possibilities in our 2022 Mini Catalogue & Sale-a-bration promotion, together with some of the talented Demonstrators from ESAD - the Extra Special Australian & NZ Stampin' Up! Demonstrators group on facebook. Whether you've arrived on the hop from Monica Formosa's blog or another way, I'm very glad you're here. I have two sweet bird house cards to share with you, both featuring the free Friendly Hello FREE Sale-a-bration stamp set and paper bundle, and the Beautiful Shapes dies from the 2022 Mini Catalogue. You'll spot some other new must have goodies plus Annual Catalogue loves too. Let's take a look at my cards. I created these cards after seeing & loving the fun house shaped fold used on these bird house cards created by Cheryl Algie (based on cards by Chantal Herve shared in this video in French). My version has a window in the front using two hexagon dies from the Beautiful Shapes die set to create interest and depth... and fun. You may notice the roof angles are different on each card, This was a bit of a happy accident, as I mis-measured the first card I made - the striped one which created a less pointed top. Take a closer look at each card. 1. Striped Bird House Don't you love a good stripe? This fab striped print is from the Friendly Hello paper has many of my fave colours and works beautifully with the birdie colours I chose. I stamped two birdie and flower images (from the Friendly Hello stamp set) in basic gray ink, then fussy cut and coloured one complete image plus extra flowers using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers in coordinating colours. The 'Friends like you' sentiment is from the Positive Thoughts stamp set from the 21-22 Annual Catalogue. Did you notice the new Iridescent Rhinestones? The are fab-u-lous! Birdie & the flowers have lovely Wink of Stella shimmer but it's hard to see in the pics. I love that the bird house card base is pretty much just a standard top folding base made with half a sheet of card, and it fits a standard envelope. I cut the size down slightly to keep the maths simple for the scores and folds on top. Here's a view from the top. Can you see that I've embossed the front with the Timber embossing folder for extra texture? Measurements: Card base: 28cm x 10cm. Score in half at 14cm then mark the centre point of the card (5cm). Score & fold: Mark 4cm from the edge of the fold line on right/left of card front and back, then make diagonal scores. You can see the scores in this flat view of each side. To make the window I cut the largest hexagon from the front of the card, then cut the next smallest hexagon from the centre of another square of card, then adhered that to the back of the window. The inside has the smoky slate card panel - also Timber embossed with sentiment - and the remainder of the Friends like you sentiment stamp, plus another fussy cut blossom. I wrote my message to the recipient on the back of the card. 2. Floral Bird House Version 2 is based on the original scoring measurements Cheryl provided, being 5cm from each side (instead of the 4cm I used on card 1). This gives a slightly more pointed roof. The window shape you choose may mean one or other roof shape may work better for you. Have a play! For this version I stamped a floral background onto a smoky slate panel for inside the card, and added a sentiment and flower to the back. This is where you'd write your message. The sentiment on the front and back are from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set (& bundle) from the 21-22 Annual Catalogue. This is a brilliant sentiment set that covers a great range of occasions and has a lovely font choice too. A must have set in my book. So that's my first two house cards. Thanks for visiting today, and a special thanks if you've left me a comment. I hope you enjoyed seeing my projects and they've inspired you to make your own sweet bird house or other fun house project. Need Friendly Hello? Where can you find the Friendly Hello stamp set and patterned paper bundle I used? It's on page 12 of the Sale-a-bration brochure or see it here in the online store. You can choose it free with any $180 purchase (ex s&h) while supplies last during Sale-a-bration. The images and sentments in the set make a fabulous addition to your stash.

I couldn't sleep yesterday morning, so I got up in the wee hours and went down to my craft room and stamped.....using the Artistically Inked stamp set. This is just a clean and simple ink to paper, two layers with some masking card. I included a scattering of gems from this suite's ephemera pack, but overall the card is pretty simple. The colours I've used for the flowers are Pale Papaya/Pumpkin Pie, Magenta Madness/Melon Mambo and Fresh Freesia/Highland Heather. Pear Pizzazz was used for the leaves and Basic Black for the greeting. The second card I created in the wee hours of the morning used the fabulous Expressions In Ink Specialty Paper. I love this pack of paper so I let the paper do all the work for this card except for the die cut leaf sprig and some gold metallic pearls. I didn't even want to add a label for the greeting. Easy Peasy! I've been working in my yard and relaxing on the deck these past few days - when no creating was going on - because of the good weather. We've taken a turn though and it rained all night, which was nice because everything is so dry! We're suppose to get some snow tonight and that's not so welcome! But that's May in Alberta! I'll just huddle in my craft room and use some more of my new products. I've got a BOGO sale going on with my retired Stampin'Up! products. It's all laid out in a newsletter, so if you are interested in receiving a copy of my newsletter to get ahold of some retired products just let me know my e-mail and I will forward a copy to you. You can reach me at [email protected] That's it for today, Stay warm, stay dry, stay safe! Joan
