Thanks for stopping by on the CTC Blog Hop. You may have just 'hopped' here from Stasia's blog or landed here directly. Either way, I hope you are enjoying our Hop. Tonight the Crew have 'CASED' ideas from the Wedding Section of the Occasions Catalogue (pages 42 - 44).
There's lots of inspiration packed into 3 pages and here's what inspired me to make a cute little Tealight Birdhouse -
The DIY Mini Milk Carton was designed by Sam from Pootles Papercraft and I followed a video tutorial on Stampin' Connection made by Maria Russell. You can see it here on You Tube. I also noticed that she has created a video of my Top Note Owl Card! She certainly has great taste in paper craft projects.
I made a summary of Maria's (and Sam's) tutorials, with my version thrown into the mix, so I have the measurements handy for future reference.
There's lots of inspiration packed into 3 pages and here's what inspired me to make a cute little Tealight Birdhouse -
- Theme: Wedding (Favour/Décor)
- Colour: Blushing Bride, Wild Wasabi, Sahara Sand, Kraft (Baked Brown Sugar)
- Technique: White Embossing on Vellum and Colouring the Images
- Accessories: Sahara Sand Lace Trim

I love the 'Choose Happiness' Stamp Set and the white embossing on the vellum gives it a soft 'romantic' look.
