Budgie Birdcage, Bird Sale & Free Collage Sheets!
Filed under Art Projects, Design Team, Giveaways, Newsletters, Sale
Beside Kira’s cute & colorful birdcage (with an introduction by Miz Bella (Kim Ayers)), there are tons of bird-themed goodies in store today, including two FREE collage sheets — and the entire Birds section is On Sale! Let’s start with Bella’s introduction:
Is this not the most adorable Budgie Birdcage you’ve ever seen?! In her delightful style, Design Team Member Kira Nichols has created a colorful home for two lucky little birdies.
Kira started out with the New and On Sale! Round 2-Part Die-Cut Chipboard Birdcage that is almost 5-1/2″ wide x 6-1/2″ tall. Wow, that is almost big enough to put my smarty pants 13 year old teenager into when she’s well… acting like a 13 year old teenager! Back to the birdcage — it has a solid back piece and a front with lots of vertical openings for the cage (plus a removeable “door”). With the birdcage you could create adorable gifts for bird-lovers with the On Sale! Parrots Collage Sheet that Kira used, too! The holidays ARE just around the corner so plan early and be stress-free this year. (We can try to act organized; can’t we?!)
For the background Kira used On Sale! Distress Stains and Distress Paints and made the color pop even more with the Fuchsia Ric Rac Dresden Borders Set. Yes! Fuchsia Dresden! Don’t you just love it?
Find a full list of other components that Kira used here. Visit Kira’s Gallery here.
Now, what was that about FREE Collage Sheets?? Scroll down to the Giveaway area to learn more. What, a Giveaway, too? Yes! Just leave a comment to enter the drawing for today’s Giveaway!
