Snail mail envelope with the bird waltz collection

Hello, DT Henriëtte here today sharing another project I've created with the Bird Waltz papers.

This time I've made a snail mail envelope.

The idea for the pocket envelope came from Nik the Booksmith, you can find a tutorial here.

On the top flap I glued the little card slot.

 It can hold pieces of ephemera, like I did or

a gift card.

The right flap has a corner pocket with a lace border.

It holds a cute little envelop and a tag.

The middle section has two pockets and the left flap has a side tuck spot.

These kind of envelopes are a great way to send snail mail to a friend.

It can hold a handwritten letter, a gift card, little envelopes with goodies in it, 

bits of ephemera etc.

The beautiful papers from Blue Fern Studios are perfect to make a this project.

Treasured

A warm hello to all my crafty friends, there is a hidden project in the Bird Waltz paper if you love fussy cutting!

I adore the little frame, so of course, I had to cut it out and use it as a free-standing craft! I began by folding the Scripted Melody sheet in half horizontally and cutting out two frames. I then glued the tops together and left the bottom open (kind of like a camping tent). 

I then cut flowers, birds, and butterflies out of Bird Waltz scraps to embellish the frame. 

I added teal paint and rose ink to patina the frame a bit. 

I decorated both sides and used the chipboard word "Treasured" from the Remnants collection as my title. I also used a blue raffia bow and a music note from my stash.

I hope you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed making! 

Blessings, Bonnie

Le Papillon - a tri-fold card with The Bird Waltz

Hello, Henriette here today sharing another project with the newest release "The Bird Waltz".

The Bird Waltz collection has some great butterfly images. With them I've created

 this butterfly themed tri-fold card.

The card is made with a 6 x 12 inch piece of cardstock.

I scored at 1,5" -  3" -  5,5" and 8".

Then I measured 1" from the top and bottom until the second fold and 0,5" from the second until the fourth foldline and cut out these pieces.

I decorated all the parts. On the first panel I also glued a piece of ribbon.

Then I added the panels. 

To finish the card I used a butterfly chipboard and charm.

Products used:

Papers: The Bird Waltz

Charm: Radiant charms

Chipboard: Gabrielle butterfly set

Hello Birdie Darling

Hello friends, one thing I love about the Bird Waltz collection of papers is how well it goes with any season.  As summer is winding down it's fun to make something for my home that moves right into my fall decor. Today i'm sharing a shadow box featuring the "Birdie Darling" sheet.

 On the outside of my frame I decoupaged flowers from the title page "Bird Waltz". I then placed the fussy cut bird from a calling card in the little girl's hand. I used a key from the "Key to my Heart" charms and the adorable 4 and 1/2 cents emphera from the Vintage Christmas collection.

On the bottom corner I added a stained pink flower from lace # 13. I liked the wooden "hello" script and stained it to blend into the vibrant paper. For a funny touch I added a feather at the bottom and the bow at the top was the finishing touch. 

Thanks for taking the time to look! 

Blessings - Bonnie

Paper birdhouses with Bird Waltz

Hello, DT Henriëtte here today sharing my first project with the new Blue Fern Studios collection "The Bird Waltz".

The papers in the Bird Waltz collection are absolutely stunning as can be seen in 

these paper birdhouses I've made.

I searched for a free template on internet and made 5 different sized houses.

You can decorate the houses more but I decided not to because of the beauty 

of the patterned papers. I think they look beautiful in all simplicity.

Thanks for stopping by the BFS blog.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Christmas Window Album

Hi everyone! I'm pleased to be asked to post this little album I created using the Vintage Christmas 1&2 collections. I love making small books and albums with lots of layering and details!

I made a window in the cover using a frame die-cut and adding acetate to add depth. I placed a Christmas tree in the center of the window to create a picture window feel. I cut random flowers from the papers to embellish throughout the album.

The first page opens up to the tree and the window decorated for the holidays!

This collection has so many beautiful images! Since I love to fussy cut it was perfect for this project.

I added chipboard pieces that I painted to match the papers.

I love putting tuck spots here and there to add little journal cards and extra photos to the pages.

I hope you enjoyed my little book as much as I did making it!
