Today I have a wooden birdhouse that I decorated it for Valentines Day. I have had a number of different styled houses I had picked up a few years back at Michael's. I know Michael's still carry wood items but not sure what style of houses they carry now but any one I am sure could be used for this project.
I painted it first with white acrylic paint. I added black ad red paint to the bottom rims. Then I looked through some of my older CTMH papers for some Valentine looking papers. I ended up using a pack called Sweetheart. I made paper patterns for all the sides of the birdhouse and transferred them to the B&T papers. There was a hole in the front of the birdhouse but I chose to cover it up for this project. After covering up the house then I began to decorate it. Again I went through my stash of goodies and went from there. For the "Love Birds" I stamped them with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I added a pink heart between them. I used the Cricut Art Philosophy and Artiste's cartridges. I cut the large heart, and both the label and the " Be Mine" from the Artiste cart and the key from the Art Philosophy. It was a fun little project to make. I think it will look good with my other Valentine decorations.
I will be back with some more Valentine themed projects in a few days.
Thanks for stopping by!!
