Howdy and hello! Today's project features several new products from the latest Scappy Tails Crafts release. Have you had a chance to check out all the great new goodies from the Home Is Where Mom Is release? You can see them all right HERE.
Let's take a look at my project.
How fun is this??
I cut the main house die out of a piece of light purple cardstock. Next I used the Slimline Woodgrain die to cut a light and dark piece of purple cardstock. I glued the light purple layer onto the main house piece and then inlaid all of the dark purple pieces. I trimmed off the ends that hung over at the top. I used a dark purple ink and a blender brush to go around all the edges of the house panel.
Next I took the large heart and the letter dies from the Birdhouse die set. I lined them up on the front of the house panel. I ran the whole thing through my die cut machine and removed the cut pieces. On the back side of the house panel I glued some gray cardstock just behind the letters. I also cut the roof piece out of the same gray cardstock two times. One piece I adhered straight to the panel. The second piece I used a texture embossing folder on it to give it some, well, texture. I added bits of foam tape only on parts of the back before adhering it over the piece on the house panel. I rubbed my teflon folder over it so the cardstock would bend a little between the pieces of foam tape.
Next I added silver splatters. I also used the same silver to lightly paint the roof piece.
I cut another light purple panel using the main house die. This will be the back. I grabbed a stencil from my stash and applied purple ink with a blending brush. This way it won't just be plain when you look through the heart shaped hole.
I set the panels aside and stamped out several elements from the Oopsy Daisy set and the Spring Birds set. I used a Copic markers to color them all. I scoured the internet for pictures of yellow birds. I used a yellow Finch and a yellow Oriole as my inspiration.
I also can't stop using the adorable bees from Oopsy Daisy! I added tiny touches of Unicorn Stickles to the bee wings and the flower centers.
I cut the tweet word die out of gray cardstock 3 times and once out of metallic silver cardstock. I glued all of the layers together. I then played around with the placement of everything until I was happy with how it looked. I cut two side panels out of the same purple cardstock and got to building!
I just love the Slimline Birdhouse Pop Up die! It's so unique!
We've made it to the end of my post and I hope you found something you can't live without! ;-)Don't forget you can use the code STCBLOG10 for 10% off your order.
