Hello! I’m excited to share a scene I created using Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. This card features a charming birdhouse with birds and floral elements. I layered everything onto patterned background paper and framed the scene with an elegant frame die. To finish it off, a Hello sentiment on a tag is tucked into the scene. I love the combination of the die-cut elements with the patterned paper.
-
- To begin, cut the frame from textured white cardstock.
- Cut the patterned paper (I used a now-retired paper from 49 & Market) to 3 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ and adhere to the frame piece. The frame set contains a die of this size.
- Cut the birds, birdhouse, and floral elements with dies in the Birds & Dwellings set from Distress watercolor paper that has been colored with Distress Sprays. This technique gives the die-cut pieces a painterly look. Assemble elements and add to the scene. I used a scrap for the birdhouse body that had been colored, stamped, and dry-embossed. (Here is the link to the tag I made with the same supplies 12 years ago! The piece I used for the birdhouse was one of my failed tags.)
This was my first time using products in the Everyday Memories Collection (formerly Everyday Elements), and I look forward to using more.
