Your wreaths are really pretty, April! Doesn't it feel good to use the bits and pieces we have saved? They come in handy sometimes!
I have a box I use to store Christmas card parts. I had a pack of 10 birds and branches I stamped at least a year ago, probably even longer! I bought this layering stamp set for my mom at a stamp expo. We stamped them together one day when my sister was visiting and we had a crafting day. I guess I never got inspired to finish them in to cards.
These are not particularly inspiring, but I kind of like them! The most time consuming part was adding foam adhesive to the back of the birds. I got kind of obsessed and cut it to fit everywhere, down the little bird legs, out toward the beaks ... they are pretty well covered!
Christmas CardinalsTwo questions for all of you :
1. How much foam adhesive do you use? Just a few pop dots? completely cover with a matching die cut of fun foam? one piece of foam tape down the middle? or multiple pieces of foam tape cut to fit every nook and cranny, ha!? I think I've seen all of the above on card making youtube videos. Have you ever received a card in the mail where the popped up layer has collapsed? I don't think I have, so I'm wondering if my foam tape craziness was totally unnecessary?
2. How do you adhere pressure embossed pieces to your card front? And then adhere focal pieces to the top of the embossed piece?
10 more cards in the finished box! Yay!
