Cardinals and birdhouse

Hi, Janja here!

Snow covered grass and bare trees do not offer much comfort to the birds, which are looking for food in our garden in the cold days. Birds will thank us if we hung on a tree a birdhouse with seeds in late autumn.


For the card we need:
- white card base: 5.3 x 5.3" (13,5 x 13,5 cm), folded
- kraft cardstock : 5 x 5" (12,7 x 12,7 cm)
- patterned paper: 4 x 4" (10,2 x 10,2 cm)
- white cardstock: 4.5 x 4.5" (11,5 x 11,5 cm)
- white and brown cardstock
- stencil-snow
- white texture paste
- snow marker
- painting knife
- Distress ink: Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, Black Soot, Tumbled Glass, Broken China
- Distress marker: Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Black Soot

With two largest dies from basic sets: circle and stitched circle, cut opening in white and kraft cardstock. I like the color of craft cardstock and how it gives a homely feel to the card.
Cut the cardinals and birdhouse from white cardstock with the die cardinals & birdhouse and shadow them with Distress inks.


On kraft cardstock place a stencil and apply a white texture paste over it.


While the snow is drying, cut a bow and tape. For a tape use the die stitched wide rectangle frame. Shadow and attach them to the snow-covered cardstock.



Cut out branches and fence from brown cardstock with the dies: winter branches and garden accessories.
Apply snow with a snow marker.


Assemble the card.



I would like to remind you on our challenge #5 - birthday card. You still have time to share your projects with us. 

That's all for today. Thank you for stopping by.

Christmas Journal

Hi, all!  Vladka here! Maybe you saw my Camping Journal, but actually I created it after this one, which I want to show you today. This one is Christmas Journal and it is my special piece of work. Here is the front page, where I used  Whimsical Holiday Wreath, Double Bow and Splish Splash! Alphabet dies.

I combined a lot of SC dies, specially from last two Christmas releases. And without Distress Inks, white tempera and kraft cardstock I can't create anymore. :) Here are first two pages where I used  Trio Choir, Candle and Fancy Insert Card dies.

Next two pages are decorated with Gift Card Holder, Holly Branch and Little Angel:

I tried to add a little bit more winter atmosphere with Holiday Village and Woodland Snowlady die cuts to the next two pages:

And here are last two with little more Christmas spirit. Angel is playing on his harp and Santa has all gifts already in his bag. Here I used all these dies: Santa hat, Library Pocket, Santa and Friends, Angel with Harp, Stocking and Magnolia Doily.
I wish you all great day and here are all dies, which I used:

Fall and Christmas

Hi, Vladka here today with two projects!
I have something old and something new. Actually both projects are new, but for the first one I used dies from previous releases and for the second one I used dies from new Christmas release. 
Fall is for me the most inspirational time of the year, because of the colors and card is special, because it was created for my mom´s birthday. It is an easel card, my first actually. On the front, I used Build a Grapevine Wreath die, one of my favorite. All die cuts are colored with Distress Inks, because it is the easiest way to get beautiful colors. Inside I used die cuts which I cut out with Hand Mirror and Cameo die. To get this look I used liquid pearls and add some Vintage Photo re-inker to get more brownish shade. Foliage nicely supplement the cameo and the front page.
And I have something more to show you. This project it is special for me and this is actually letter for Santa together with an envelope. Here I used following dies: Peeking Santa BearDouble Bow and Build a Poinsettia. Stamps are from Christmas Gift Set.
Christmas is special time and because of that also creating the cards is special. Dies from both new Christmas releases are so playful in gives you really a lot of opportunities and ways to use them.
Have a great weekend!
