Bird themed Freebie reminder/introduction

Good Afternoon!

I’m popping in today to remind you, or maybe even introduce you to a Freebie that you may not know about…in fact, it’s the best Freebie I offer!

As you know, my Freebie archives can be found in the menu at the top of this blog. Well…there’s a collection of Bird and Birdhouse themed Freebies available in my SVG store that come with full assembly videos and accompanying PDFs too. Here are the projects and the overview video:

The first project is the Birdhouse Box, this is a really sturdy box which is great to be used as a gift box then the recipient can keep it as a storage box. It has a pretty overlay to the front and a fun layered roof:

Next is a matching Birdhouse shaped card complete with Bird of course! This card has a fun fold along one of the roof lines and has a front overlay in the same style as the gift box:

If you are wrapping your gifts, you will surely need a gift tag so here’s a Birdhouse shaped tag for you:

Here’s the second card in the collection, it’s the Bird shaped card. I have been asked many time to share this Bird image as an SVG so I’ve gone a step better and incorporated it into a shaped card. This way you can use it individually if you like:

The fifth project in this collection is the arched Birdhouses card, this is a fun layered card with different shaped Birdhouses which can be used separately of course, and some florals too:

When you download this collection you will find the PDFs within your download file along with all of the images and SVGs, clicky here: http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=87&product_id=50

I really hope you enjoy crafting with your Bird themed Freebie collection, we’d love to see what you create so feel free to pop some pictures in the group :)

Happy Birthday Edge Card x 3


Good Evening!

I’m posting a KnK Design Team project here in case you didn’t see it at the time over at the Team KnK blog and also to include the cut file into my archive.

I have a Birthday Card for you today, the Happy Birthday sentiment protrudes diagonally from the card base layers. The design is a simple one but it can easily be decorated to suit different recipients. I have decorated the card in 3 different ways today, one card is more masculine, one card is more feminine and the card I show in the assembly photos is more suitable for a young girl.

Happy Birthday Edge Cards

Pic 1. Below are the pieces you will find within the cut file folder, I cut my card base pieces from some pink card and chose some fun patterned paper for the layering pieces:

HappyBirthdayEdgeCard1

Pic 2. The patterned pieces are adhered directly to the card base pieces:

HappyBirthdayEdgeCard2

Pic 3. Turn the front panel over and add 3d foam pads to the back, I found 2 layers of foam pads worked best:

HappyBirthdayEdgeCard3

Pic 4. Pop your front panel into place, you are now free to decorate as you wish:

HappyBirthdayEdgeCard4

My Completed Card: I lined the inside of my card with more of the patterned paper. Carrying on the Butterfly theme of the paper, I cut a few of these butterflies to embellish my card then popped on a few gems:

HappyBirthdayEdgeCard5

Alternative Card 1: For my second card I cut the card base from some white card, I chose some subtle white and green patterned paper then added a strip of green glitter card:

HappyBirthdayEdgeCard6

Alternative Card 2: For my third card I simply cut the card base from some kraft coloured card and added some natural coloured twine to the front panel before I stuck it down to my card base:

Large Flower Card – 3 ways!


Hi Guys!

I’m sharing another of my Team KnK projects here today and popping the files into my archives, if you’ve not seen it before…enjoy! :)

Today I will use one Cut File (supplied at the end of the post) to create 3 different card looks armed with just my cutting machine and a few basic supplies.

LargeFlowerCard11

Card 1: This is a super quick yet effective card to whip up when you need a card asap.

I lined up one of the oval shapes onto the card base, I chose one of the fonts to form the word ‘Hello’ then cut both pieces from some kraft card:

LargeFlowerCard1

I folded my card in half then placed the ‘Hello’ inside the oval window and glued it to the inside of the card:

LargeFlowerCard2

Card 2: I used white vellum for my large solid (sandwich) piece to add some softness to this card but coloured vellum or acetate could be used for different looks.

From yellow card I cut the card base, the extra flower outline piece, the label outline shape and the word ‘Mum’. From vellum I cut the large solid layer and the larger label shape:

LargeFlowerCard3

I glued my vellum to the back of the front outline pieces:

LargeFlowerCard4

These pieces can now be flipped over and glued to the card base sandwiching the vellum between the layers, this ensures that the inside of your card is as neat as the outside:

LargeFlowerCard5

As I didn’t create a window in the card base this time I can add my sentiment to my label shape without it looking messy on the inside of the card:

LargeFlowerCard6

Card 3: Inside the cut file you will find smaller solid (sandwich) pieces which allow you to use different colours for your flower and leaf pieces.

From black card I cut the card base, the extra flower outline piece and the banner outline shape. From pink card I cut the solid flower piece and the larger banner shape. From green card I cut the solid leaf pieces:

LargeFlowerCard7

I glued my coloured pieces to the back of the front outines then added a sentiment to my banner:

LargeFlowerCard8

I flipped my flower piece over and glued it to the card base and sandwiched it between the black card layers to keep my card neat inside and out. I added my banner to the card with 3D foam tape:

LargeFlowerCard9

The middle of my flower was calling out for a button, as I’m not using vellum here it won’t show through:

LargeFlowerCard10

Negative Pieces: Do you usually throw your negative pieces away? How about saving them to make some tags? Here is the tag cut file I used:
