Country Birdhouse is one of the new bundles in the catalog and immediately caught my eye! I want to share my version with you. I decided to make this an easel card and also a Mother's Day Card, but it would also serve as a beautiful birthday card. Below are pictures highlighting my card, and underneath the pictures you will find links for a free tutorial and also a link to my YouTube Channel where you can watch a demonstration of this card.

Side view of the easel.

The flowers and leaves were cut with dies from the Country Flowers dies.

Just click on the picture below to download your free tutorial.

Visit my YouTube Channel to watch the construction of this card from start to finish. Just click on the picture below. While you're there, please subscribe to my channel.

I hope you like this card and will give it a try. Links to all the products I used are listed below. Please check out my blog again, soon!

Happy Houseplants Kit Modified for my Next In-Person/Make at Home Classes

Hello and welcome to my blog! Introducing my next In-Person Classes or Make at Home Kits Class. This class is $30 for the In-Person Class and includes the Happy Houseplants kit that has the frames in it. First the schedule:

Sunday, May 5th  at 2:00  6 openings

Monday, May 6th at 12:00 This class is full.

Monday,  May 6th at 5:00  3 openings

Thursday, May 9th at 12:30  3 openings

Stampin' Up! has a kit called Happy Houseplants that's a cute kit with plants, but I decided I wanted to modify it. Here are 2 pictures showing the original kit and the pieces you receive in the kit.

Below are the modifications I have made to the kit. Actually, I completely redid it using the frames that are included in the kit. Each kit included 4 frames, but I'm only using 3 of them for my class.

This first frame uses the dies from the Magnolia Mood die set. I also embossed the background piece with the Distressed Tiles Embossing Folder with Basic Gray ink applied to the folder before embossing.

This next one is made with the Zinnia Dies.

This last frame was made with the Easter Lily Dies that retire at the end of this month. I also added a doily behind the lily.

If you would like to take this class in person, please contact me as soon as possible.

For Make at Home Kits, order the kit from the link below and I'll send you all the die cuts for the flowers. The total will be $10 for the pieces and shipping. Deadline is Monday, May 6th to order the kits. Paypal or a check is accepted for payment. Just respond to this email and let me know if you would like the die cuts.

I have listed all the supplies I used below if you would like to make all the frames yourself. They're really quite simple and fun to do.
