Welcome Home to our Tuesday Treat
This week we’re going all they way back to our Festive Bird Song collection to discover a Tuesday Treat with 8 brand new colourways for our Welcome Home door that is no longer just for Christmas! We have created a variety of colours for you to add to your crafty stash including a stunningly distressed weathered wood look.
The lovely Vikki Deakin has created a fabulous step by step project for you, this time we are making a double easel card. We will be decorating this gorgeous die that was originally designed to work with poinsettias with our Winter Wanderings blooms and foliage. Vikki wanted to show us that we can embellish with any of our floral dies to make this suitable for any season or occasion!

Cut from the bottom edge up to the score line, 12.5cm in from the left edge and fold in half. On the right side, trim to 10.7cm and fold in half. This will be the top of the card.
