Happy Boxing Day! Anyway…time for a non-Christmas ornament tutorial. Today it’s a mosaic table from Instructables. Love that sight!! It’s Starry Night and make’s a cool table. This tutorial starts by building the table that the mosaic will be applied to. You don’t necessarily need to do that but why not? Then you end up with a completely handmade piece. Not a bad thing. After you build the table then you gather up some tiles and plates and glass, some adhesive, grout and a towel or two, a sponge and all the other goodies you need to mosaic…check their lists. This is an intermediate project although if you are an ambitious beginner get right in and make that table. Send in a picture when you’re done!

How to Make a Tri-Fold Spring Bird Card
Add some interest to your card making with a tri-fold design. A tri-fold card has three sections that overlap in a zig zag to create dimension and a little extra interactive element to the design instead of a traditional single fold card. Ilina used new stamps and dies from Hero Arts to create her Tri-fold Spring Birds Card.
The bottom layer of her design is the first flap and it’s got die cut grass, purple flowers and the heat embossed white sentiment, the next layer has different pink flowers and the two birds sitting on a hill, the last layer is the inside of the card with a hedge of greenery where you can add a hand written or stamped sentiment inside. She used markers to add additional color to her images. You can watch her video tutorial over on the Hero Arts blog.
