August Blog Hop ... 3-D

Welcome to the August PALS HOP! This month, we're featuring projects that are 3-D or three dimensional! If you've hopped over from Joanna Munster, http://www.inspiredbystampin.com/, I'm stop number 3 on the PALS HOP and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find inspirational ideas for papercrafted creations from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the PALS HOP LINE-UP below and you'll be back on track!

I had so much fun last month I couldn't wait to participate again this month. I started quite a few different projects as I was not sure I liked the direction they were going. It hit me at 4:30 a.m. Monday morning on what I should make. I have always wanted to stamp on a birdhouse. What do you know, I had an unfinished wooden birdhouse in my craft closet. So the final project started...here is the finished product.


Click on picture to enlarge
Stamps:  Butterfly Prints, Flight of the Butterfly, Asian Artistry, Pocket Silhouettes, Wonder Weaves (retired)

Paper:  Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Chocolate Chip

Ink:  Pacific Point, Always Artichoke, Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip (marker), Staz-On Timber Brown

Paint:  Delta White and Burnt Umber

Accessories:  Two-step bird XL punch, pearls, circle punch, CB swiss dots embossing folder, sea sponge (non-SU), spanish moss (non-SU), Mod Podge (non-SU)

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted. 

The following pictures are showing more details on the sides and back.  I wanted to show the roof since I spent a lot of time on it and it was fun to do.  I ran the Chocolate chip cardstock through my cuttlebug and then punched out circles.  I added some paint to the roof to give it a worn look.

While cropping the pictures, I noticed the butterflies are larger than the birds.  Hmmm...guess these are baby birds coming out of their house.   Funny how I did not notice this while I was making it.

A back and side view.
