Roses are Pink Card

I just love this new Roses are Pink design from BirdsCards.  As is typical with one of Bird's designs, this was very easy to cut out and put together and has such a lovely end result!  I was inspired by her use of a black and white pattern for the base card and think the other colors really pop. I'm thinking I might have to try it in red, yellow, lavender, etc.

Not sure if I'll use this for an upcoming birthday card or maybe a Valentine's greeting.  I think this would also be gorgeous done as a wedding card in white pearl papers.  So many choices!

Bird also posted a new FREE Retro Rose Heart Card which is so pretty. I'll have to make that one next.

Thanks for stopping by!

Spider Venom Bottle Label

When I purchased the Spider Venom Party Pack from birdscards.com I saw this fun bottle label which can be added to a wine bottle for some spooky goodness.

I immediately thought of a fun square bottle I have saved for the purposes of making some potion bottles and I knew that this would look great on it!  I re-sized it a bit so it would fit my bottle - the label pictured here is only about 2.5" wide!

I also had to the idea to cut the 'venom' letters out of Heidi Swapp toner paper and run this through my Minc to add some shiny, purple-foiled goodness.  It's not the easiest to photograph, but hopefully you can see the gleam in the picture below.  This angle also shows off the facets on the spider body (gem stickers) better too.

I think I'm going to fill the bottle with some bright green glittery liquid and once that's done and sealed, I'll stick my label on. I don't want to risk splashing it the bottle filling stage.

Birdhouse Tag

I'm so happy to see that the business of creating and selling .svg files for cutting machines is really taking off.  I've been able to shop at two new svg stores just in the past week!

This adorable birdhouse tag comes from birdscards.com and is part of a free svg kit called Birdhouse.  The free kit also includes a 3D birdhouse gift box, and three lovely birdhouse-themed cards.

It probably took me longer to pick out the paper for this tag than it did to cut it out and put it together.  I'm thinking these would be adorable in Christmas colors too.

Now I'm off to do some more svg shopping and kick off my weekend with some serious paper-crafting. I think I just have to have Bird's Halloween kit - everything in it is so cute, but the spiderweb bag is a must have!

Happy weekend and thanks for stopping by.
