July's Craft Is Ready to View!

 This our craft for July's Craft & Crop at the Bird House for the 9th. It is a "Waterfall Mini album".

 This album has a pocket at the bottom inside of Album cover and I put some cards in the pocket. I cut around the camera on the main card and that way I could place items inside to hold them.

 This is the inside of the back of the cover where I added embellishments I cut out of my paper pack and framed with black card stock.

 This is the back of the album. I put a strip down to cover up the ribbon I needed to hold the waterfall together.

 I decorated the outside cover as shown.

 Here is the finished project when you open it up.

 this is a view laying down on my desk.

 This album has 39 places for cards in the waterfall section.

 You can see from this side view

 Just a couple of pages that you can see.

 This is the back inside cover.

It was lots of fun creating this Water Fall Album. Hope to see you Sat. to make it for yourself.

June "Craft & Crop at the Bird House"

Take lots of great photos during your 4th of July celebration so you can present them on these cute pages you will be making for our July get together.

Here are the pages created for you, they are busy, colorful and the quote is great. I was able to use lots of scrap papers to design this set. I took a page from last years Independence Day paper pack that was covered with American flags and cut each one out framed it and used it for embellishments. I incorporated different ribbon that I had purchased on clearance from JoAnn's Fabric and Crafts after the July season last year. The best time time to buy seasonal supplies is right after the season. And get creative during the next season of the year. I used some red metallic card stock here and there and some smooth and textured papers to add interest for the eyes.

I added some rhinestones I purchased in bulk at JoAnn's with a coupon and have been using them all year in different crafts.

 I cut the 4th of July with my "Stand and Salute" Cricut cartridge. The stars were all cut with "Plantin Schoolbook as was the large Circle. The white textured layer on top of the circle I cut by hand and added the embellishments of ribbon rhinestones and picture frames over that.

I found this wonderful quote on Google and used my favorite font, then I framed it to match the other papers I used. the red squares are scraps from cutting the large circles. The white under that was cut with my Cricut cutter using "Basic Cakes" Cartridge.

The stars are made different sizes and different textures of papers. To the left in red metallic card stock is the shape of a tab that I cut from my Cricut cutter using "From My Kitchen" cartridge. It has some cute cuts on that cartridge.

I will be posting next a our Card Project and a cool Craft. Hope to see you for our July "Craft & Crop at the Bird House". Please text me to reserve your seat. 817-999-8223

Here is this months Craft for tomorrow!

 This is the Box Album we will be creating your paper pack will be different but you get the idea.

 As you remove the lid, the sides of the box drop flat to show the pretty album inside.

 We will be using rescycled boxes for the base chipboard and covering the pieces in black card stock.

 Then you can add your own touches and ideas or take some from the sample.

 Flaps and pockets are fun to use.

  Side flaps!

 Top flaps! You be creative and add your own style. Use the papers I provided or use something you love.

Here you can see how the album sits inside the box when the sides are up ready to add the lid.
I really enjoyed figuring this one out. Hope you will join us tomorrow and create one of your own.

Tomorrow is the night to have fun and learn new crats!

Here is the card we will be creating Saturday night at the "Bird House". It is called a "Double Z Card". 

I have used stamps to create the flowers and then fuzzy cut around them. I added a sweet pearl sticker in the center of each one. I used a Martha Steward large bunch for the butter fly and then a small Fisker's butterfly punch for the smaller layered butterfly and added three small pearl stickers for the body. The scalloped flower is Ek success large punch I made two in different colors and layered them then put a circle made with my Cricut and then stamped my sentiment. Than just under the sentiment I stamped a floral pattern and then used my circle punch to cut it out and layered that on the larger circle. I used a foam square to attach it to the card just above the band.

The band is in two pieces. I stamped the two smaller layers of the band and the flowers are attached to the rest of the band area. I fuzzy cut three of the smaller flowers and added them to the card with small pearl sticker. Then I stamped another sentiment to the white layer of the card. This was a fun card to make and would be great for anyone you wanted to make their day.

Hope you enjoy making this card with us.
