Hi All,
I've not been posting on my blog since October because I had a complete knee replacement, so I've been healing and going for physical therapy. I haven't felt like being creative, but hoping to get back into it very soon. Since today is my birthday, I thought I would show you what I have been doing. I decorated a little lighted tree which took me several weeks because it was hard to get up and down from my chair each time I needed something. The idea came from Cyndi Johnson.
1. For
the Birdhouses: Cut Whisper White cardstock at 3” x 3” and score at 1” on all
four sides to create the house cube. Use the heart-cut die to cut two from
Cherry Cobbler or Shaded Spruce. For the
solid house dies, cut two from Whisper White cardstock. Glue pieces together and add to two of the
sides.
2. For the Roof: Cut 2-1/4” x 1-3/8” from
Whisper White and the same from the DSP.
Score in half. Punch a hole in
the middle of the scoreline and add a loop of the Gold Ribbon on the Whisper
White Roof. Adhere the DSP to the White
Roof.
3. The trees and snowflakes were made with the
Home Together and So Many Snowflake Dies.
The trees from the DSP are two-sides using the Adhesive Sheets (I cut
one Shaded Spruce tree and adhered the Gold Ribbon for the loop and then
adhering the DSP trees to both sides).
Do the same for the snowflakes cutting one Whisper White snowflake,
adhering the loop, and then attach the adhesive snowflakes to each side. The
adhesive sheets make it so much easier.
