Once Upon a Springtime Gift Cards

I just loved the Once Upon a Springtime paper collection.  I made six Easter gift cards.  On five of the cards I used a magnet for the card closure.  On the sixth card I paper piecerd the rabbits.  In the gift pocket you can add a tag or a gift card.  I made tags for some of the cards and will post them later.   Here is a sampling of all six cards.  Card Recipe:  Once Upon a Springtime Paper, Nellie S. punches, Magnets, Martha Stewart punches, Pearls, Cross Charm, Seam Bias Ribbon, Nesties, Tim Holz ink.

Once Upon a Springtime Bird House

I saw this little bird houses at Joannes and thought it would make a cute decoration.  I just love this Graphic 45 paper "Once Upon a Springtime."  The birdhouse was only $1.00 and I used most of my scraps left over from the Easter Baskets to cover the bird house.  I used Nellie S. punches, Martha Stewart punch and Glimmer mist.  At one of Irina Blount's workshops she showed us how to make vellum flowers.  I could only find clear so I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to give it some color. I distressed the papers with brushed corduroy, rusty hinge, and picket fence.  The Graphic 45 cutouts are added on the top and sides.  I used pop outs for the sides.  The little bird is from Vintage Trinkets. This was fun to make.  I have two other styles that I am going to do.
