Heartfelt Creations August Alumni Blog Hop

Hello friends!  It's time once again for the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Blog Hop. The hop starts at 8AM EST on Friday, August 30th, 2019 EDT and closes Monday, September 2nd at 11:55 PM EDT . Winner will be announced on the HC Facebook page on Wednesday September 4th, 2019. 





Every year we have a Blues and Barbecue event for our Habitat for Humanity program. I like to support them by donating something for their sale. This year they had these bird houses and asked several of us to decorate them. I started by painting them with craft paint.

This one reminded me of a gingerbread house and so I used the Sugarspun collection to decorate it. 

I loved how the corner piece from the Ornate Pocket Accents Die fit perfectly under the roof. The birdhouse was finished with a coat of water based varnish.

I also created a card to correspond with the birdhouse. I like to use mesh instead of acetate for the shaker window. 

edit: I should have called it tulle instead of mesh.  Sorry!

    I am so glad I stopped by to see your beautiful creation. I never would have thought to do a bird house. It turned out so amazing. I loved your idea of the mesh for the shaker card as well. I will definitely try that too.

      I'm sorry, I should have called it tulle. I buy it on rolls. It's available at any craft store. Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi, Sarah! These two creations are just delightful! I'm so impressed with your painting on that Sweet Shoppe Bird House! And using the tulle instead of clear cardstock on the shaker card is a fun idea. Everything is just beautiful! Thanks so much for hopping!
