Hummingbird Step by Step by Trudi Harrison

Step by Step Layout – ‘Our Lil’ Dear’ by Trudi Harrison
Materials
- Kaisercraft Hummingbird P783 Nest, PP860 Paper Pad, CT703 Collectables, SS123 12 x 12 Sticker Sheet, RB954 Colour Rub – Ons
- White Cardstock
- Decorative Edge Border Punch
- MFT Die-Namics Die – High Tea Party Doily
- Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Paper Rosettes Die
- Sizzix Large Die – Decorative Accent W/Flower
Step 1 - Add a punched decorative edge to a 12” strip cut from the ‘Nest’ paper. Attach vertically to base white cardstock towards the right hand side. Cut a 6” circle from one of the papers from the paper pad – I used the teal blue with lighter green leaf pattern. Attach over the top of the previously attached decorative edge strip towards the top edge of the base cardstock.
Die- Cut a decorative circle element from one of the papers from the paper pad – I used one of the mauve ones for this. If you don’t have a die cutting system, try cutting a 5” circle instead – use decorative edges scissors to alter the edge or a pre fabricated paper doily will also do the trick nicely.
Attach the mauve scalloped strip element from the Hummingbird Collectables pack and then position and attach photo over the top.
Step 2 – Position and attach 2 x flourishes die cut from lighter green paper from the paper pad – I used a Sizzix Decorative Accent W/Flower to create these. Again if you don’t have a die cutting system, chipboard flourishes or thinner straight strips of patterned paper attached similarly will also work.
Step 3 From the Collectables pack select a leaf element, a heart, green bird, green deer, darker blue scalloped strip, and butterfly. Remove the smaller side leaf element.
Position so that it sits under the left hand side of your photo and peaks out from the top and left hand side of your photo. The smaller leaf position and attach at the bottom of the photo – mine sits over the top of the decorative punched edge strip.
Cut the scallop strip so that there are 2 lengths – the smaller length will have 2 complete scallops for its length. Attach the smaller length on the right hand side and the longer one on the opposite side – they are staggered – that is, left hand side will sit higher than the right hand side.
Attach heart so that it covers the bottom left hand corner of the photo. Attach deer so that it covers the bottom right hand corner of the photo. Attach butterfly to the back of the deer and the bird slightly to the left of the previously attached heart.
Now you can choose to leave it here – just add your title and some journaling and you are done.
OR take it a step further J.
STEP 4 – Create 2 x banners from paper from the Hummingbird paper pad. I used again the mauve one I previously used for the die cut doily circle element.
I created the banners by tracing around the edge of small butter plate – this creates the top curve of the banner. Add some triangles and then cut out.
Create some paper rosettes – I used the Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Paper Rosettes Die to create these. Rub On elements were used to decorate the centre’s of the rosettes. They were first applied to cardstock and then cut out
Position and attach banners.
Add another bird element to sit on top of one of the banners.
Attach a couple of rosettes to the heart and add sticker bird cage element.
Position and attach another couple of rosettes.
Add title – I combined the alphabet stickers from the sticker sheet and a computer font print for the ‘Dear’ word.
Add journaling and you are done!

Introducing…….Marcia Pringle
by Anna | 0 comments
I’m Marcia and live in the Perth hills. I’m married to a very patient man and we have one daughter who is ten. I’ve been playing with all things paper since I made my wedding invitations back in 2000. I love Copic markers and have enough rubber stamps to open my own shop with. In the last few years I started scrapbooking, mainly to keep memories for our little lady. I don’t have a whole heap of photos from my childhood and am making sure Miss Ten has heaps. My style is clean and minimal, I don’t like to have a heap of fuss on my pages. I do like to use one photo and I love to make my own embellishments from whatever is at hand. Scrapbooking and card making has opened many doors for me and I have met so many wonderful people. Some of my best friendships started at scrap nights and classes. I’m excited to be part of Anna’s design team and I look forward to sharing what I love to do.
