Birdcage Shape Card

Have I mentioned how much I love my Gypsy, lately?  I LOOOOVE it!!!  I have been on vacation, visiting my mother, and have been designing up a storm and using my layers functions like crazy!  I decided to show my mom how easy the welding feature was, and create shape cards.  We are having a blast!  ...In fact, you could say we are crazy crafting fools!  One night, we even stayed up until almost 4am!!! 
Anyways, onto the card!  I used the much awaited Serenade cart for this card.  First, I found the birdcage base that I wanted, and cut it out in brown cardstock.  Then, I cut the bird from green/blue marbled paper (the same I used for the turtle in the previous post).  Finally, I cut the birdcage wires from silver glitter cardstock.  Doesn't that just make the whole birdcage pop? :o)  Before attaching the birdcage, I wove the bird inside some of the bars, then I used a spray adhesive (since the cage was so intricate), and attached them to the card base.  ~Hoppy Crafting! 

Serenade

Ah, Serenade, how gorgeous thy are!  Have you been worth the wait?  I hope so!  I love all the beautiful trees, bird cages, animals, flowers, etc., that you contain.  I cannot wait until I have time to use you.  Haha! 

I know it sounds kinda cheesy, but I have been wanting this cart, since I first saw it around October/November 2009.  When I saw that it was available for pre-order in February, I jumped at the chance!  Little did I know, that the anticipated release date of mid-April would be pushed back until JUNE!!!  Today (now that I have 50 report cards to finish, two slideshows & 50 dvd's to burn, a classroom to pack up, etc....you get the picture!), it FINALLY arrived!  Do I have time to play now?  NO WAY!  Just wait, Serenade....In 3 more days, your cart is mine!  Until then, Hoppy Crafting!
