Stretch your supplies

When is a bird feeder, not a bird feeder?  I soon as I saw this die ideas popped into my head!

I used parts from the Lawn Fawn build-a-bird feeder to create these cards.

 Boba tea! For the cup rim, I used my trimmer to cut a thin strip of cardstock and ran it through my paper crimper then flattened it out. The straw is just a strip of patterned paper.

 

An Easter bonnet! (or a sun hat) 

A lantern! For the bottom of the lantern, I trimmed down each side of the base of the bird feeder and shorted the bottom. I used the layered top piece and trimmed the top off at the detail line.

 

And UFOs!! I used the top layer both right side up and upside down! Add some glittery enamel dots. The second UFO had a 'glass' top cut with a small oval die out of vellum. I used the bird legs to make my little alien with a couple tiny googly eyes.

Easy birthday cards

I used some pre-made folded cards, some cupcake stickers, and scraps to make a few birthday cards.

 

You rock

 Fun pun for a cute little stamp! Penny Black Mimi stamps are adorable and I have a fun little collection of them.

Breast cancer support card

 Made this for someone who was going through treatment for breast cancer. I used a metallic blue paper and the butterflies' wings pop up.

 

 

Mug cozy

 Another one I made a few years or so ago for a friend. 

hello, Gorjuss!

 A couple of cards I had made with Santoro Gorjuss stamps. (sentiment from Stampendous)

 

Mother's Day pop-up card

 Here's another card I made some time ago but didn't get around to uploading. I got the tutorial on how to make the pop up flowers on Pinterest.

 

Just keep swimming...

I saw this porthole idea (probably on pinterest). I used a couple of circle dies to make them.

 

 

Soaking up the fun

Here's one I made awhile ago. A simple, fun pool page. I chose the blue patterned to paper because it reminded me of pool liners that sometimes have a pattern.

 

4th of July cards

 Just getting around to uploading these cards I made some time ago. The third one was actually done for a 4th of July birthday!
