Designer Label Birdhouse

Here is another card we made at our April classes.  I have my friend Regina Andari to thank for the use of the Designer Label punch for making this birdhouse, punched from Peach Parfait cardstock.  I used Soft Suede for the actual card and layered it with Sunny Garden striped designer paper.  I cut a lattice using the Lattice Die and my Big Shot machine.  I smudged just a bit of Soft Suede on it to make it show up.

 The bird is punched from So Saffron cardstock using the Two-Step Bird punch.  The leaves are from that same punch.  I used the Photo Corners punch for the birdhouse top.  It's Soft Suede cardstock.

 I used stamp set FYI for the sentiment, stamped in Suede.  I colored the letters using the Peach Parfait and the Pear Pizzazz markers.

This card is cut 4.25" x 8.5" and folded to a 4.25" square. It fits a normal envelope so it's easy to mail.

This would be a good card for any occasion.  I hope you like this one!!

Smiles, Laura

You are Awesome!

Here is a card I made the other day using a new In Color, Poppy Parade.  For some reson, I had not used this color yet this year and decided I wanted to use it.  Let me tell you, I LOVE this color--so much that I made three different Valentines that day using Poppy Parade.

For this one, I used Poppy for the card, then a layer of black cardstock and then a sheet of designer paper from the In Colors Patterns Paper Pack. 

I used the Designer Label punch, a coule of circle punches and then the small heart punch for this sentiment on this card.  The sentiment "You Are Awesome" is from the FYI stamp set.

For the three hearts near the bottom of the card, I punched a circle through the black cardstock, and then punched hearts from Poppy Parade to put in each circle and raised them up with a dimensional.

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Smiles, Laura
