Good morning and Happy Easter! I'm popping in today to share a card that I created with Betsy Veldman's new
Cloche Quarters and the coordinating
Spring Fillers sets (now available on the
Papertrey Ink website). I am so completely charmed with these sets. Betsy added so many gorgeous, homespun details to these images and I can't wait to use them again.
For today I decided to create a housewarming card using the rustic wooden cloche and the beautiful little bird house. I have a serious soft spot for bird houses and this one is no exception.
I began by impressing the Mix & Mat: Scallops shape into a Classic Kraft card base and set it aside. Then, I die cut a Rustic White layer using the Noted: Scalloped A1 Die Collection. I stamped it with the cloche base, grasses, and sentiment. Next, I stamped and die cut birdhouse onto another piece of Rustic White.
Then, I trimmed a sliver of Classic Kraft cardstock and rolled it around in my fingers until it got soft. Once it was nice and pliable I crunched it up into a nest and adhered it to the birdhouse before adhering the birdhouse atop the cloche base. Next, I ran a scrap of Rustic White cardstock through my Xyron before stamping and die cutting the cloche cover. Then, I die cut another cloche cover shape from clear cardstock. I Xyroned a strip of coaster and die cut two additional cloche covers and then layered the pieces like so: stamped cardstock, clear cardstock, coaster, coaster. The result is a dimensional cloche cover with a realistic, shiny finish.
I attached the cloche cover to the Rustic White panel atop the birdhouse. I added foam tape to the back of the Rustic White panel and adhered it to the card front in the center of the embossed area. I just love how this turned out!
