Tweet Friend Birdhouse Card
Hi crafters! Here is a great idea to make the Chloe die into a little bit larger of a background. It looks great with the birdhouses from the Home Tweet Home die set too.
The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hello Sue, a gorgeous card today, I love the birdhouse dies, and they look lovely framed like this. Will have to catch up with the video later to see how you extended the frame. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Morning. This collection made me smile the day you launched it and was secretly keeping my fingers crossed lol but it's just so cute and adorable, you can't help but smile, there are a couple of Accessory dies I still need to get from previous launches such as the bbq, but this is on the must get list along with a few more from the new Accessory collection. I know I'll have the cheesiest grin on my face when I watch the video so let's get to it 😉 Sending you hugs and look forward to watching Julia do what she does best - backgrounds to your beautiful stained glass dies xxx
Good Morning sue and all. Beautiful card this morning , the design is stunning and I love the hint of colour added to card. Thank you for doing the video which I will be watching a little later. crafty hugs and well wishes to all.... Wendy
Good morning Sue, Such a beautiful card today which would be ideal for a new home too & a special friend would certainly feel special receiving a beautiful card like this. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue, such a sweet card. I love anything to do with birds, I have a Cockatiel myself and I have beautiful Peacocks and Peahens visit my garden everyday, they belong to a stately home near me but just roam the streets of Corsham where I live. Love Jean xxx
Haven’t got the chloe die yet but do intend to. I love it, so delicate, and this card is gorgeous. Really enjoying Julia’s shows, and she is using the Isobel die that I won. I won’t be buying the one day special but do intend to get the stained glass window dies. Thanks to Julia’s demos and samples shown I have bought the crystal tints and diamond sparkles. LOL. You make the best dies Sue, thank you, have a great day. Xxx
How sweet is this!...love it, love it, love it...both the birdie themed sets are very high on the must-buy list and now Chloe has joined them as it makes such a beautiful frame for those birdhouses...I'm going to have so much fun making up my own scenes with these dies...
Sorry for the pun but what a "tweet" card Sue love it. Thanks for sharing and have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes What a beautiful card today I love the die and it arrived yesterday so really looking forward to using it so going to watch the video to see how to extend it now.
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx
Have a good day everyone Love Hunnymummy54 from MK xxx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card and thanks for showing us how to extend and then cover up the join in the Chloe die, I really should try this with some of your other dies instead of just being frustrated when they are not the size or shape that I need. I fell in love with the bird houses on launch they are just so sweet - or should I say tweet lol - and they are pretty high up on the list.
Hi Sue, a lovely card. Very pretty with your Chloe die and the cute birds and bird houses. Thanks for your video, another to catch up with when we are home.
Busy watching Julia's show and enjoying seeing your stained glass card samples. However, must say that today's tweet card is lovely. The little bird houses are gorgeous. Back to he TV. Hugs xx Pauline
