Live Simply Love Much

Some more hybrid cardmaking!  I printed a bird cage that I found on the internet and then stamped Papertrey's Little Bitty Bird and cut out a die cut of the bird in white felt.  I added a speck of Ename Accents in black, a bit of twine and then stamped a sentiment below.

I embossed with clear embossing powder and also stamped red hearts.  Easy peasy!

Supplies: 
Paper: Papertrey Kraft
Stamps: Papertrey Ink Little Bitty Bird
Misc: foam dot, Enamel Accents, clear embossing powder, white felt, turquoise twine (divine twine)

A little inspiration - buttons

While browsing some blogs for inspiration, I happened upon this:

How gorgeous is this?!  Kalyn created this gorgeous card on her blog Paper is Love and I thought I would change it up a bit using what I had. ... as soon as I saw this beautiful creation, I thought I could use some of my new buttons and twine from a recent order at The Steam Trunk.  It's a Canadian company and has super fast shipping and great prices.  So glad I finally get to try out some twine!

I changed up the design a bit because as soon as I saw her card, I thought of a TicTacToe board with an X and O message of kisses and hugs. I used PTI's woodgrain impression plate and Basic Grey's Urban Prairie stickers.  Some twine and buttons and voilà!
