Card Making Project - Bird, Lace and Bicycle Card
Made by Madeleine


A combination of Marianne Creatables dies builds up this pretty picture trimmed with lace.

You need a die cutting machine for this project.

To make this card you will need:

148mm x 148mm Creased White Card Blank
Core'dinations 12 x 12 Tim Holtz Distress Cardstock - Walnut Stain
Stardream Opal Card
Small off-cuts of Stardream Coral and Stardream Bronze Card
Marianne Design Birds and Flowers Paper Pad
15mm Frilled Ivory Lace
Marianne Creatables Vintage Bicycle, Fence Set, and Tiny's Flower 4
Die Cutting Machine - Cuttlebug, Big Shot or Grand Calibur
Photo Glue
3mm Ultra High Tack Double Sided Tape
Mini Glue Dots
3D foam Pads 3mm Thick
Small sharp scissors or Tweezer Scissors

Cut a piece of the Core'dinations Walnut Stain card to 148mm x148mm and clue to the front of the card using photo glue. Cut the flower paper from the Birds and Flowers Paper Pad to 140mm x 140mm and, using photo glue, position it centrally on the walnut stain card so there is a 2mm border.

Using high tack double sided tape glue the lace into position taking just a little round the  back of the walnut stain card. Glue the walnut stain card to the front of the creased using photo glue.

Using Stardream Opal card and the Marianne Vintage Bicycle die run it once through the die cutting machine to cut and then, changing plates, one again to emboss. Glue into place at the bottom left of the card.

Using Stardream Bronze and the nesting box from the Fence Set and the Tiny's Flowers 4 dies run through the die cutting machine once to cut and then, changing plates, one again to emboss. Using 3D foam pads glue the nesting box into position. Glue the Tiny's Flower 4 die cut to the bottom left using photo glue.

Using the Tiny's Flower 4 die again, and the bird from the Fence Set run it through the die cutting machine with a piece of Stardream Coral card - once to cut then again to emboss using the correct plate combinations for your machine.

Using 3D foam pads attach the Stardream Coral bird to the card.  With small sharp scissors cut away the stems from the Tiny's Flower 4 so that just the flowers remain. Attach the coral flowers on top of the bronze ones using mini glue dots.
