Bird Cage with Marjolaine

Hello friends, Marjolaine here. Today I'm scheduled for an off the page project and I thought this birdcage would be perfect. It was super easy to assemble and I'm thinking I would like to make many more for Christmas table center pieces. 

I kept if fairly simple. The cage is painted with two layers of gesso and I used a script stamp on top to add texture. For my roses I used a six petal flower punch and followed this tutorial.


My supplies are as follows:
Birdwatching Shape Set


Fabscraps paper
Tim Holtz stamp

I love antique bird cages and will need to find a special place in my home for it. How about you, where would you display it?

Fall Tags

Hi Everyone! It's Lisa here today I am sharing some tags I created for Gina's with the gorgeous fall chipboard designs!
I love the gate and pumpkin. Here I have used gesso and distress ink and stamping. Lots of layers with florals and hand dyed seam binding.

I like my tags to have a purpose beside looking beautiful. This one has one of Gina's glassine bags on the bag for a little treat!

Next up is this gorgeous Harvest chipboard. I used multiple inks and crackle to get this glassy effect! I love it!

I have a beautiful floral cluster on here and have layered in one of the little floral sprays from Tresors DeLuxe Etsy.


Finally I have a beautiful slightly grungy tag I created with the crow chipboard.


On this one I used gesso and stamped on the chipboard then inked the edges.


Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me today! Don't forget to stop by Gina's  store and pick up some chipboard!

Beautiful Bird Cage



Hello- Heidi here to hopefully give you a little vintage inspiration.

My project today is one of the birdcages from Gina's Designs (this one will be available soon!)- is this not the sweetest? It comes in 3 pieces, the cage portion is connected at the top very easily with some string and then there are slots on the bottom to tuck into.  I painted mine, inside and out, before I put it together and would recommend it..  Then go ahead and alter to your hearts content! The little hanger on the top is a 7gypsies metal piece.  I love the vintage feel to this and found I can add it to the entrance table or fire place. I didn't have one, but wouldn't a little bird be cute sitting inside? The size is about 8 inches so it can make quite a statement!!

Take care and have a fabulous day!

Heidi
