Weddings and a Hint of Spring

Rounding out my card collection for the craft fair are wedding and easter themed cards.


I resisted the urge to make a card referencing "how tweet it is." Instead, I got only semi-sappy with some love birds.

Love Birds, on a cake:

8.5 x 4 in, 110lb card stock, front reads: "love birds" with hand-cut cardstock birds, ribbon, and cake; heart embellishments done with mini-punch; attached with Zots and Elmer's Craft Bond. Inside reads: "Congrats, love birds!"

 Love Birds, in a tree: 

8.5 x 4 in, 110lb card stock, front reads: "mr. & mrs." with hand-cut cardstock birds, ribbon, branch and leaves; attached with Zots and Elmer's Craft Bond. Inside reads: "Congrats, love birds!"

This spring card was inspired by this adorable 1936 Merrie Melodies cartoon that offers a timeless lesson in following your heart. This lil' owl loves to sing, but has previously restrained himself in order to gain the approval of his father. Seeing his son stifled (and about to lose the talent competition), Papa Owl tells his son to sing! The video is well-worth your 43 seconds. 

4.25 x 5.5 in, 110lb card stock, "i love to sing-a, about the moon-a and the june-a and the spring-a, i love to sing-a!" Music note is printed, and the bird and grass were hand-cut from cardstock and glued with Zots and Elmer's Craft Bond.
