Lost in Paradise

Bird Cage

Hello dear G45ers!

Sharing a 3D paper Bird Cage
featuring the ever so STUNNING
Lost in Paradise Collection.

I love this collection, it puts
you in a Tropical state of mind!
It is so vibrant and pretty. I love all
the gorgeous bird, floral and leaf imagery,
lots to fussy-cut! I created this bright
and colourful piece with my Silhouette,
cutting dies, flowers, sisal, artificial
moss and plastic fruits.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you

may use to recreate such a project:

G45 Supplies used:

Lost in Paradise 12x12 Paper Pad

Lost in Paradise 12x12 Pattern and Solids Paper Pad

Lost in Paradise Stickers

Lost in Paradise Chipboard

Other Supplies:

Silhouette Cut Files:

3D Round Bird Cage by A Little Hut Design ID 26265

This beautiful birdcage can be used
as a centerpiece, a tea light holder or
any spring related decoration.

The largest size it can be is: 7" x 12"
(17cm x 30cm)

Various Cutting Dies

Red Double Sided Tape

White Sisal

Artificial Moss

Metal Chain

Chipboard Window

Embossing Powder

Resin Ladder and Bird Bathtub

Branches (paint these randomly
with some white gesso)

Flowers

Flat Back Pearls

Plastic Fruits (peaches and acorns)

Tim Holtz Transparent Wings

Cut a bird cage from the pattern sheets

and assemble accordingly.

Note: the cage itself is not shown in

the photo only the top and bottom

pieces, I accidentally deleted it in

during editing...(I guess this sort of

thing happens haha.)

Cut a few die-cut shapes for

decoration and layering.

Fussy-cut some of the elements

from the 12x12 paper pad.

Add some sisal and artificial moss

on the inside of the cage. Place the

big fussy-cut birds on the inside in the centre.

Tip: No need to glue them just let them sit

firmly on the sisal and artificial moss.

Emboss the cute little chipboard window

and adhere to the open piece of the cage.

Layer the the fussy-cut birds,

leaves, die-cuts, branches, flowers

and plastic fruits. Place one of these

clusters on each side.

Add some metal chain to

the top of the cage.

Layer some more fussy-cut birds,

leaves, die-cuts, branches, flowers

and plastic fruits. Add to the top

of the bird cage.

Some more photos...

Happy Papercrafting!

Prima/Julie Nutting

Princess Castle

with Aurora

I am so excited to share with you all my Princess Castle
featuring the lovely Pink paper collection from Julie Nutting for
our Prima older collections feature today. I really enjoy creating
cards with the sweet Julie Nutting dolls but now and again I love
staging them too, like this Castle I made with the beautiful Aurora
doll stamp, I mean what would a castle be without a princess right?!
I created this piece with my Silhouette (the design ID 119171 for
the castle, assembly instructions here and design ID 10713 for the
crown, if you have the machine and would like to try this out) and
some cutting dies. I coloured Aurora with the Julie Nutting Hair &
Skin Tones Watercolor Pencils and I dressed her up from the beautiful
pattern sheets in the paper collection, some pretty lace and ribbon.
I adorned the castle with pretty die-cuts, die-cut butterflies, die-cut
bows, pins, paper straws, acrylic pendants, chain, ribbon, string,
beautiful crown embellishments by Franck Garcia and gorgeous
Prima flowers, the flowers used are also from older collections.
