Hi everyone! Today I have two projects to share with you that hopefully will remind you that Spring is around the corner. My first project is a Decorated Birdcage that I created from a mini birdcage I purchased at Michaels and a glass candle holder I found at a thrift store.

I decorated it with mostly flower stamps and dies from the Heartfelt Creations Butterfly Medley Collection and the Birds and Blooms Collection. I also used the Arianna Blooms Cling Stamp Set and Die and the Open Leaf Cling Stamp Set and Classic Leaf Die. I also placed a birds nest in the birdcage and stamped, colored a bird with Copics and die cut it with the coordinating die from the Birds and Blooms Collection and put the sweet little blue bird on the nest.

My second project is a Beautiful Butterfly Card featuring Heartfelt Creations HCPC 3655 - Dream in Beauty Cling Stamp Set.

I made the large butterfly 3D with the stamps and dies from the Butterfly Medley Collection and also added some flowers to complete the card.
