Hi there, Doodlebugs friends! Michele here with a very feminine
card for a friend who shares my love of birds and
has a way of making even a gloomy day brighter!
My card starts at the base with this gorgeous Winter Gems debossing plate from HoneyBee stamps - you can get a peek of that plate in the photo above!
That gorgeous pattern stood up to die cutting my heart-shaped window - I tucked another heart cut from vellum in the space - isn't it the most wonderful place to perch these darling birds on a branch? from Spellbinders called Sealed Birds.
Let me tell you about my newest favorite sentiment set from
Waffle Flower Crafts: Hello Friend - it has just the right words to say! and I love that it has a coordinating die set to cut them. I've stamped and gold heat embossed this one today - who doesn't have a friend who would appreciate hearing these words?
Bonus day: here's a very special birthday card for a friend:
This time I used two Spellbinders' Postage Edge Ovals make a frame and cut the window and a snippet of patterned paper to back it.
Here's another sweet sentiment from
Waffle Flower's Hello Friend.
Have a fun crafty weekend my friends!
