3~D Wednesday at My Creative Time ~ Easter/Spring Home Decor

Hello and welcome to My Creative Time 3~ D Wednesday! Emma and my fellow design team members all created 3~D items. We were asked not to do a card or layout! I LOVED doing this! I actually used items that I had lying around my house for quite some time except for my paper (which I LOVE) and the eggs. So for my project I decided to use My Creative Time stamps sets Happy Hunting, Hello Spring, Spring Chicken Backgrounds,  and XL Label Borders. I am so in LOVE and TOTALLY addicted to the chicken wire stamp!





So the jar was from some candle thing??? and the nest I had planned on making a wreath with, which never happened.  So I stamped my chicken wire stamp on 12x12 acetate. Let that dry. I tore my birds nest apart; make sure you do this over a shopping bag ~ HUGE mess!  Once your acetate is dry, cut and tape together. I just placed it in my jar. Then placed the torn apart birds nest on the bottom of the jar. My eggs were ornaments for Easter trees??? So I cut the ribbon off of those. Then I layered My Creative Time XL Label Die and used the Scallop & Stitched Circle Die for my tags. I wanted to use this decoration for Easter and Spring. All you have to do is turn the ribbon around (it slides around very nicely) to the side you want to display. I tried to make it very versatile.

Materials used:
My Creative Time Stamp Sets ~ Happy Hunting, Hello Spring,
DCWV Linen Paper stack
Stampin Up ~ ribbon
Paper Trey Ink Jute
Tim Holtz Ink ~ walnut stain
Eggs from Joann's
bird nest and jar from stash

Please make sure you go over to My Creative Time to see all the designers' projects! I am sure you will not be disappointed!
