I love vintage looking birdcages and if I had my own house and space I would buy a lovely large one - don't know what I would use it for but I would have one!!!
Maybe I could put a plant or candles in one!!!
The closest thing for me would be the Tim Holtz Birdcage Die but it is quite thick and I don't think it would go through my Cuttlebug well. If anyone has tried it using a Cuttlebug and had success, please let me know!!! The lovely Claire aka wanna-b-rich over on MSE has kindly offered to cut me some with her die for the time being. Have a look at her blog, she makes some fantastic things.
Today, I came across some new Marianne Creatable Dies - Birdcages, 2 different styles called Morocco and Tunis. It looks like they are due to be released anytime now and are priced at £10.99 and they can be used on the Cuttlebug!!
Here they are
They also have some lovely Bird of Paradise and Fantasy Bird dies which will go beautifully with them!!! A few more things for my wish list I think!!!!
****Just seen the Marianne Dies on ebay for £9.45 with free postage - looks like they are released tomorrow!!!!****
Hi Angie
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up re these dies, they are stunning. I too love birdcages, but could never have a bird as I'm terrified of them (weird huh?).
Think these little beautys might find their way onto my wishlist;)

Ooohhh these are gorgeous! I must not look, must not look... ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe bird cages are beautiful. I have been lucky enough to get one of them.
ReplyDeleteRe: the Tim Holtz and the Cuttlebug - yes they do work.
