The last hurrah – Bird Ballad Card – Stampin’ Up!

This the last hurrah for the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP). All our DSP is retiring on the 2nd June. I am using my favourites for the last few projects of this catalogue year.

The last hurrah – Bird Ballad Card – Stampin’ Up!

I have used this paper quite a number of times but still have some left. It is simply gorgeous and perfect for those who enjoy fussy cutting. Personally, I have hate fussy cutting. I do it when I have to achieve the effect I want such as in this instance. Some people find it relaxing, I find it a chore. I’ve come to the conclusion that I am not patient enough!!

I will admit that the fussy cut birds to look beautiful against the simpler background. It will be sad to see them go. The stamp called Free a Bird, thankfully, is not retiring so we can all enjoy still part of this suite or products.

measurements

  • Thick Whisper White A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Bird Ballad DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm

The birds have been enjoying this nice weather as well. They wake me up every morning early with their dawn songs. I love watching them searching for food in the garden. They are so free and I am jealous. I hope we can be as free as a bird soon.

Candle / Tealight Storage Box

Cute candle storage box that holds four dinky little tealights. A perfect little gift for a party bag or table favour. This can also double as a place name by changing the sentiment.

I don’t know about you but I love candles and have a huge collection of all shapes and sizes. I don’t really like the ones with a strong scent as they cause my allergies to act up. Sneezing and lighted candles don’t really go well together.

I have made this box many times through the years with different card and paper and every time it turns out super cute.

I have a question for you today. Do you like candles and if so what are your favourite ones? I love the wax melts as well and have one here in my craft room. They are all vanilla though. I did once have one that smelled of Jelly babies but that made me too hungry.

Here are some other projects made using the Mosaic Mood DSP

Until next time, Enjoy Being Creative!!
