3D Floral Birdcage

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's project was inspired by Pinkfresh Studio Blog's January Challenge in which you are given the opportunity to create a project based on any of the challenges held last year. My project is a mash up of the May, August and November challenges. May's challenge theme is Flower Power. August's challenge theme is Washi Tape. And, November's challenge is Thank you. 

I created a 3D Birdcage by die cutting 4 pieces of the cage from the PS Best Thing die set. I die cut this on a white cardstock. To connect the cage die cuts, I scored the base part of the cage that is sticking out. I folded this, squirted a small dot of glue on this portion and adhered another cage die cut making sure that these parts are aligned with each other. 

I trimmed a white cardstock at 1/2" x 2 3/4" to create the tabs that will hold the flowers. I scored this at 1/4" and 2 1/2". I adhered the folded piece to the bottom part of the cage. The tabs provided support to the intricate 3D cage.

I adhered the PS Garden Bouquet washi tape to a white cardstock. Using the coordinating die, I die cut the flowers. I adhered the ends of the flowers to the tab. I only used the small flowers on this project. 

I squirted a small dot of glue on the top edge of the cage die cut where the two cage die cuts meet to close the 3D cage. Surprisingly, the glue worked! I threaded a cream twine through the holes on the top of the birdcage to close it up. I knotted the twine, then threaded a pearl gold heart before tying the twine into a bow.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed a sentiment stamp from the PS Humbled & Grateful stamp set on vellum. I used Wow! Pearl Gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment using the matching die. I die cut another piece of vellum with this die and adhered this to the back of the stamped vellum die cut. I adhered the sentiment to the front of the 3D cage.

I adhered a couple of mini heart sequins to the rails of the bird cage. 

I hope you like today's project. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
