"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."
- Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Paper Projects

Tags, Garland, and a Song Bird

Tags sprayed with shimmer spray and stamped with swirls and other embellishments.

Springtime garland made with doilies and paper flowers sprayed  with shimmer spray.

I found this wood plaque at Walmart on clearance, 75cents. I painted and antiqued it. I've been wanting to cut out this birdcage and bird from one of my cricut cartridges. I decided this was the project for it. You guessed it, I used shimmer spray. I think I'm addicted. The top layer of the bird is cut from a page of my old hymnal, to make it a song bird. I made it 3D using some of the bump up tape. and added a tiny paper flower.

  1. Love the bird and birdcage. Which cart is it from? I have birds on Storybook cart but this one is better.

  2. Cindy, Thanks for your comment. I cut them using the Serenade cart. It is one of the cheaper solution cartridges.
