A Little Bird Told Me
Boo-tiful

Myself and a few of my friends got together recently and planned on making these two cards. We wanted to make some cards that had a little different style and/or technique used. So I decided on a Circle card and a Folded Focus Card.

The products used are CTMH and the card patterns are from the CTMH card book called "Wishes". It has some wonderful patterns in it. Both cards are 4 1/2" cards. A little trick for an envelope for this size card is using CD envelopes. They fit perfectly and you can stamp around the clear window showcasing the card too.

The first one titled "A Little Bird Told Me" is a Circle card with a combination of techniques used. We did some edge distressing, stamping, and stitching. We made a chipboard Bird even!! We had a good time putting this card together. We spent all our time on this one and never made it to the "Boo" card. LOL We were having to much fun and ran out of time. We are going to get together again and make the second card but I thought I would show it here now.

The second card is titled "Boo". It is a Folded Focus Card. This technique makes a window to feature an element for this card. In my case here I wanted to make a Halloween card and use my stamp set called "Boo-tiful" Isn't that little ghost in window just to cute?! The Boo was stamped in white ink and embossed with white embossing powder on a piece of black grosgrain ribbon. I can't wait to see what the other ladies make when we get together to make this one.

I hope you enjoy them.
