Twinkling Christmas Birdhouses

Inspired by an entry from Ally at Octobers Team Training Day here,  I've made this birdhouse display using the Milk Carton Die from Stampin' Up! The vellum as the window is perfect to give that diffused light from the battery tea lights inside. Boy do they twinkle! The roof is made from the Top Note Die, cut in half and overlapped - this isn't my idea, another very talented demonstrator Joanne Gelnar gave me this idea. The roof is then embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, and the stamp set is 'Pines & Poinsettas.

Apologies for the very dull photography - the days are so dark it's a real struggle to get a good photo at the mo.

Thanks for all the lovely comments on yesterdays Tissue Holders. I'll have more to show you soon.

Long awaited

It's been an awful long time since I've actually posted without advertising one thing or another but by golly have I had a busy couple of months! So without too much blethering on I suppose it's about time I showed a project.
Back in September I went to a training event at High Wycombe. Whenever there's a gathering of Demo's we always swap samples and this was my swap. I know, it's those pesky birdhouses again but made into this very cute Christmas version. Wouldn't they look good on a festive table instead of crackers? Filled with those delicious Lindor chocolate balls......yum!
I've updated the template of this so you can get 2 birdhouses from 1 sheet of A4. Please feel free to use this template but if you make one and showcase on your blog or use in a class, please direct people back here to where you got the template from. Instructions on how to put the birdhouse together can be found here.
I'll be back soon with some Halloween projects...
Thanks and enjoy!
