I mentioned in my May 8th Live after demonstrating my Country Woods Birdhouse Mini Accordion Card for all of you that I was going to convert the card I demonstrated into a scrapbook page layout. This was the original card…
And here is the result! Yay!
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store. These are the same products used on my card that I shared on 5/8/24 with the addition of Blending Brushes, a few more ink pad colors, and some 12×12 cardstock (Early Espresso 12×12 from the Neutrals pack and Wood Textured Specialty Paper).
Additional Measurements (these are in addition to those to make the card I shared on 5/8/24)…
- Early Espresso Cardstock
- (6) 4-1/8” x 5-1/2”
- A portion of a sheet of 12″ x 12″ for cutting two 1-1/4″ wide diagonal strips
- Wood Textured Specialty Paper
- 12” x 12”
- Country Woods Designer Paper (light wood)
- 12” x 12″
- Country Woods Designer Paper (colored wood)
- A portion of a sheet of 12″ x 12″ for cutting two 1″ wide diagonal strips
- Basic White Cardstock
- Scraps for die-cutting all five flowers
- Scrap for stamping and die-cutting the bird
- Summer Splash Cardstock
- Scraps for die-cutting all the single and double leaves twice
The slightly “tilted” colored wood plank strips are made by cutting diagonally from the 12×12 papers. Cutting straight strips and then angling on the page wouldn’t give you enough length to reach the top and bottom edges of the base layer completely.
To cut the strips as I did position the paper/cardstock in the trimmer so the top and bottom cuts are angled with a 1/2″ difference. (This photo shows my initial angled cuts.) Then just make sure the next cut to form the strip is parallel to the angled first cut.
I did adjust the first two birdhouse layers of the card to make them fit better on the left page…I brought them closer to each other. I added a bird (and the outline image of the house when I demonstrated this card in my Live) to the third one. And I added some color (Pool Party, Lemon Lolly & Petal Pink ink) behind the first two houses with Blending Brushes.
Extra flowers, leaves & Brushed Brass Butterflies embellish the rest of the page layout.
You never would guess these pages were all built around a card design. Right?
