Frantic Stamper is Die Cut Divas' Sponsor for the December Challenge of Winter/Christmas project with an optional twist to make a shaped Winter/Christmas Card.
You can find so many "must haves" at Frantic Stamper and I was looking for something fairly easy, yet had a WOW factor and I think I found a couple of "must haves", but for now, I'll show you my bird houses.
My first birdhouse features a red birdhouse, but as much as I like the red house, I faced a dilemma for where to place my red bird. I opted to put him inside the birdhouse peeking out with green sprigs facing down from the upper left. I like just the one roof of only snow. I put some green paper behind as I didn't like the all-white interior. I think a light wood-tone paper would have been better to be a background for the bird. Live and learn.
I used stoppers (pieces of paper with sentiments printed on them) as my paper was quite slippery and needed a two layer stopper for more support if I wanted to stand the card up without the message being seen.
I wanted to go more wood-like and I cut my house out of a pre-made digital background (Sepia) that I won from A Bit More Time To Craft. It took me awhile to figure out which one of the set this was because I printed it on glossy paper and the effect is so different from what I'm seeing in my files. Different equals GOOD. I used both roofs on this card, which I like too.
I believe this is a pre-made digital background (Sepia) that I won from A Bit More Time To Craft, printed on a glossy cardstock.
