Paper 3D Birdhouse

If I move my sons army men he will be very unhappy with me, so they had to stay for the photo

I am so ready for Spring!  We had a light snow again this week and its about 35 degrees out right now.  I'm ready to do planting and finish up my chicken coop but its too cold to go out ,  so I'm bringing the outside in with some fun little birdhouses.  The birdhouse svg is this weeks freebie.  If you make it at imported size you can get it all on one 12x12, but I made mine a bit bigger so that the house alone was as big as I could get on the 12 x 12 mat (don't forget to check the keep proportions box if you enlarge). 

There are already score lines on the house, so to make one, just fold on the score lines and attach the two "wall" pieces together. 

Attach bottom tabs to base (I used liquid glue and then used and stick to hold it down for a second until it dried).   If  you want to add grass or a fake bird, do it now, before the roof goes on.

 Fold roof in half (that is the one score line not there) then fold sides of roof down on score lines and adhere roof to upper tabs.  Decorate as desired.  I ran this roof through a wood grain embossing folder and then did some inking.  I used some fake flowers around the base and ribbon on the front of the roof.  You can look on the last post at the sneak peak cute version that my friend did, she added a flourish, some flowers and some scallops to the roof to make it look like shingles.   Have fun!

Total side note,   Here is a photo of our new kitty, Annie, basking in a sunny spot on the carpet.  She is only 8 lbs and her who body is about the size of Dasiy's head.  They are getting along quite well so far.  To date : 5 people, one cat, one dog, 2 fish....coming soon...chicks!

Cindy Loo flourish card and sneek peek

This was done using a flourish from Cindy Loo, cut at 3.5 and a Martha butterfly punch.  The paper is DCWV/GP/Coordination and the pearls are Stampin Up.  Here is a sneak peak at next weeks svg freebie....

Thanks for looking!

Just Because flower card and inspirational banner

Today I want to share two svgs.  I've been playing with making simple flourishes in inkscape and did a card with a flourish-y border.  The card cuts out at about 5.5 by 7, score at 4.25 from the non-flourish side, then mount a piece of contrasting paper 5.5 by 4.25 to inside to show through the holes.  I used the same border to do a scrapbook base (not that I've done the scrap page yet). 
I also finished up a little banner made from 4x4 coasters.  My friend found the little mirrors at Micheals on clearance so this was our way to use them up.  I've been working on some other projects with the new Giant flowers cartridge.   I will say hands down-worst cart I've ever bought.....its really the only one I've bought and been disappointed in.    Hopefully I can get at least one of the flowers done and a project completed  before I throw the cart out the window.   Thanks for looking!

SVG Labels turned into custom shapes for Photoshop / PSE

YEAH, I learned how to turn my svgs into Photoshop custom shapes!  Some are two layers: the one shape button will be the label base, then the next one will be the top so that you can digitally layer them. Today's freebie is a set of my labels I've made over the past year or so and given away, and includes a couple I made this month.  If your an svg user, don't worry, I've included the newest ones for download too!   As usual, free for one week.

Minnie Mouse cards

This is one of those carts that I almost never use.  I keep thinking I should get rid of it to make room for another one, but it is so cute....

These were all cut at 4 inch.  Thanks for looking!

Valentines day cupcake box svg freebie

This box is just the right size for a homemade cupcake.  It had one in it that I used to make the dementions...but I ate it before I could get the picture...ooops.  You can decorate it and make it cute.  I'm convinced I need create a critter images on it in order to make it cute, except I don't have that cart (yet).  You can get two of these out of a 12 x 12.  Sides are open so you can see the cute cupcake, would also be great for putting a celephane baggie of candy.
