Hello again, and I hope that this is finding you all well. Today I have some decorative birdcages to show you and a fun Christmas Card that can be created with the kids.
Decorative Birdcages
These birdcages are a heap of fun to create and I must thank Tracy from My2Angels for showing me how to put one of these together. The charms and embellishments also came from her store. I made 4 of them at the same time, but all in different colours and each with their own little twist. The little houses inside the cages and the flourishes were made from sheets of chipboard (Memory Maze of course). The houses either had chipboard bricks glued to them or had modelling paste used through the chipboard brick remnants (like a stencil). For more detailed instructions and photos please head over to my personal blog here.

Marbled Christmas Card
Today I have for you something that is completely new for me.... a video. Now this process can get a little (or a lot) messy so you may want to attempt it outside (I set mine up on our trampoline and my assistant sat on that), that way any mess can just be hosed away.

Now I hope that you have enjoyed this post and if you do find yourself attempting any of these techniques, I'd love to see what you created.

Amazing projects again Jodie.. The birdcages are seriously stunning!! And the technique with the shaving cream looks great! I've used this myself, but only with paper.. I've never tried it with chipboard pieces, but you've inspired me to put it on my to-do list.. Thank you!! Great video too! ;)
