Welcome to our From the Heart Stamps blog hop. Our theme this month
is “For the Bird{brains}”. Our designers are showcasing lots of gorgeous
projects and some fun new opportunities this month too! Please be sure to read to the end of the post so you don't miss the fun stuff we have available for you during this hop!
If you have arrived from Kathy's blog, you are in
the right place, if not why don’t you start on the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything.
Here is my project, it's a JOY fold card using my very favorite birdbrain- Birdbrain Hula Chick. I have used the basic Joy fold tutorial from Splitcoaststampers but I wanted the finished size of my card to be 6" square so I changed the dimensions. For my base it is 6'"x 9" and scored at 3" and then the part that I have the Hula Chick on is 4 1/2" x 9" and scored at 4 1/2" and then I just cut around the birdbrain, matted it and stuck it down. The wooden sand dollar hold the corner when the card is together:-)
The finished front
the inside
how it looks when the corner is not tucked into the sand dollar.
Now, please head on over to Lyn's blog and see what she has created.
As you hop along, please leave a comment on each entry. One random
commenter will be selected on each blog to win an image of choice from
the FTHS store. Some Design Team members are also giving away the actual
project they create for the hop, too. So, you may win an image and
a card or project from some of the blogs! And additionally, one
commenter on the From the Heart Stamps blog will be selected to win a
$15 gift voucher to the store! I will be sending this card to my lucky winner:-)
We are offering another really cool prize on the FTHS blog! Have you
ever had a great idea for a Birdbrain image? Well, this is your chance!
One lucky winner randomly selected from all the comments will be
selected to work with Faith to design a Birdbrain image!
And, we would like to invite all of you to be a part of our hop this
month, with the DT! There is an inlinkz on the bottom of the post here
at FTHS and on each individual blog. Use one of the designer’s tutorials
and your favorite Birdbrain image to create a project to play along. We
can’t wait to see what you create! If you are interested in guest
designing for FTHS over the next few months, simply add GDT to your
entry. We are looking for six people to guest design for two month
rotations over the next 6 months. Hope you will print off your favorite
Birdbrain and play along!
