Pinterest Inspired- How To Make It Your Own! Creating a Mixed Media Bird Card

[@angelaarnold4255]

I love how this turned out. It’s so fun watching how you look so closely at the original and if you don’t have the items she used, you just make do with what you have. One of the smartest things you do is when you say, Okay, this is where we stop looking at the original card and see how we feel about our card without comparing them. So smart. And it’s beautiful. And YES, I save clothing tags!! Lol

[@bernibarnes8912]

I love how you can look at something and come up with your own version of it . And most of all you turn on your camera. I always look to see it you’ve posted something new each day . Thank you for inspiring me always .

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw thanks so much! ❤️

[@loristevens280]

I love these types of videos. It reminds me of the home improvement show (old show) where they used to try to replicate a room that cost thousands with items bought on a budget. Quite often the budget room was better. I always try to guess which paper you will use when you are trying to decide... I usually guess wrong, lol.

[@49dragonflies]

Lol! ❤️😃

[@msbecky]

Turned out awesome!!!!

[@juliemonroe105]

Barbara, I dearly love how you took the idea but made it your own. This is filled with inspiration. More more more of these videos

[@lillybullen5374]

Thank you Barbara, for taking so much time to explain what you are doing, and how others may achieve something similar, even if we don't have all the 'resources' that were used originally. Learning about being 'resourceful' and creative is so important. ❤

[@caroltanzi29]

Barbara: not only do I save clothes tags, but I save the clothes fabric labels too. I’ve done this for years. I have some very old ones from the 60’s. I love working with them in all different projects. Love your inspired tag. Carol from California

[@Sketchbook9999]

Wow from the 60s- imagine solving a crime with those

[@telenaeldridge3737]

I have been so inspired by this series! When my own creativity isn’t awake, I have been giving this a try and I just love it.

[@donnamorina7846]

I love how you demonstrate being inspired by something instead of trying to copy. I do learn by imitation but only to discover my own style! And, omg, I save tags from everything 😉

[@kristinluvsdogs]

I liked watching you make a card! It’s cool to make a cards junk journal inspired. I did that recently with some 80th birthday cards I made. I used printouts out the recipients from when they were young and distressed them to look like snapshots. Then the rest of the card was collaged around the photo. So pretty! Make cards more often Barbara!!

[@gldominick8854]

I just love how you show alternatives!! Helps me a lot. Sometimes I see things and I don't think I can make it. You give me hope!

[@831Miranda]

This was a GREAT adaptation of the original design, I love the results and your creativity in coming up with alternatives!!

[@fyrtalker]

Barbara your artistic creativity amazes me every time! Thank you!

[@jneigler]

Two totally different cards from one inspiration. Both are beautiful!

[@junerobbins6871]

Being insperied doesn't mean making an exact copy of anothers work. It means to have some of the same elements or as close as you can come using similar supplies. Your card is awesome and when finished its just as nice as the one that inspired it

[@cindylabare960]

I really love how yours came out! It is a brighter more colorful card than the one you used as a model!

[@PatWalden]

I enjoy watching how you take inspiration from another creation and make it your own! ❤️❤️❤️ And yes, I collect clothing tags and other packaging too. 😊

[@pambotter355]

Barbara, that card turned out beautifully. Glad you didn’t use the wire. Everything just came together perfectly. TFS! ❤️

[@klaire74]

Such a beautiful autumnal card, perfect for a golden October 🍂🍂🍂

[@victoriaguckian8578]

Love the inspiration ❤️ my granddaughters love their junk journals. They are 9 and 4 years old. I'm amazed by their creativity looking at other people's work.

[@nataliechim5227]

Gorgeous card Barbra. Just when I think I have seen all your stash, out comes another pouch. Yes I collect interesting garment tags too which I have used in a journal.

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Barbara you sure did make that Bird card your own, it is gorgeous. TFS

[@schattigepinie9719]

Sehr schön geworden liebe Barbara. Ich musste doch schmunzeln, es geht wohl jedem gleich,wenn man das zurechtgelegte kleben muss , ist das jedes mal ein Zittern das man es so klebt wie man es gelegt hat. LG und Drückerle Dany 🥰👍

[@Dawn-fz5cu]

Yay!! 😃 I am so excited to see another "Make it your own" video! I love this series! I learn so much from you working through each challenge! Thank you so much for sharing! 🥰

[@ellaougrik3785]

Love that you keep everything. I thought I was crazy for wanting to keep tags

[@colleenmckeeman1342]

I like this series where you use Pinterest as the inspiration. When I have creative block, I’m going to start giving this a try.

[@MaureenAstrid]

💕 so beautiful sweetie. I always love to see you make a tag like this and really make it "you" and still take the inspiration from the Pinterest one. 🥰💫 Big hug

[@nancypyter1511]

Love how your tag turned out Barbara, especially the touch of blue denim!

[@tootsie2]

I like yours much better. It's such a cheery color. Love it.

[@chiagirlmyfatcat896]

Love how you substitute what you have for Tim Holtz products, yes, I collect clothing tags, I have lots, never have used any yet. Beautiful card. Great job Barbara.💕☺️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Use your clothes tags! 😃

[@WoodlandInspired]

Hi Barbara😊 Love how it turned out, birds and flowers are my thing. Hope your week is going good, take care! 🤗💕

[@debiv7834]

This is really pretty! Love your Pinterest inspired art! Stacy does amazing work as well. Great job!😍❤️✌🏻

[@sherryliberto6749]

I love how you used what you had. Have a super fantastic day. Sending love and big hugs Sherry ❤

[@annemariedewitte2610]

Love the way your card turned out with the yellow.

[@sheilabartlett6044]

I love to see how you use what you have and create your awesome art! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@jonikennedy4147]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who keeps clothes tags! I have way to many (I really enjoy clothes!) & have found multiply ways to use them! Thank as always Barbara, for taking the time and effort to share such inspiring creativity that spurs us on to take risks we otherwise wouldn't have taken

[@JoelleFromParis]

I love how it turned out and it is very inspiring to see how you get inspiration from the original card and interpret it with your own material and color palette.

[@tonyashatley5040]

Super gorgeous! Yes, I love when you do these! I don’t even know how you figure everything out! And yes….I definitely keep clothing tags and some are cool on their own! Keep collecting! 😉

[@oshratmaidanchik246]

Yours is so beautiful I love how you interpret and make it your own

[@ChattylaineCreates]

I do love your Pinterest inspired things... This one is no exception love the bird and your adaptions from the original piece.. 😘😘💕

[@zayiclive]

One of my favorite series on KZbin!!! Keep it up Barbara ❤❤❤

[@rachelpatten8889]

I wish more of the lace would show, but it is a lovely project. I like the lightness and gold colors of your version.

[@49dragonflies]

I totally agree, I didn’t notice that until I watched the video. I totally meant to show the lace more 🙄

[@56chrissi]

Deine Karte ist wunderschön geworden.🤩👍👍👍

[@ejmacdonald2320]

I love your Pinterest inspiration videos! I also love all of your cute storage containers! I know this project will be gorgeous!

[@jbeannie90]

This is such a beautiful card! My grandma loved birds & watching your video made me think of her, so thank you for both showing your card-making process & for sparking memories of my grandma! Blessings to you! Edit: New subscriber here, as well!

[@ИевлеваКатя]

Instead of a gold button you have this muted yellow-orange of the buttonhole stitching, that's why it didn't fit anywhere haha. Your version turned out gorgeous, love how you put your own spin on every element

[@bear9427]

Hello sweetie, I love your pinterest inspiration videos every time 🥰 That’s what we all do and it’s great to see how you do it and compare it to your own point of view. I really love this format. And wow sweetie, I admire how productive you are, you're the best. 😍 Have a beautiful day, love 😘❤️❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks sweetie! I’m happy you are enjoying this series! Sending lots of hugs! 🥰🥰🥰

[@pattismith6047]

Thanks for the tip on getting illustrations with no copyrights... great tip and love your Pinterest inspired projects cause that's how I work... don't have any of the supplies but go for it anyway!

[@HighCountryStudio]

Love this series! Your interpretations are always inspiring.

[@anonbutanon]

I actually like that WeRMemory reinforcement punch. It might be the way I use it that helps? It does cardstock really well but struggles a bit with other stuff. If I am punching lighter weight paper, I double it up and then no issues at all. It's so nice to be able to choose whichever coordinating paper I like to reinforce my holes.

[@quinn22252]

Awesome way to get inspiration ❤ your Pinterest inspired projects are wonderful 👍🏻🤗💕🫶🏻🇨🇦

[@yesimadeitmyself]

Gorgeous 😍 love the tag as a feature of the collage 🐦🐦 the seed beads, splatters & twine ... great idea 😍

[@shabbydabbydoodah]

Absolutely beautiful Barbara xx

[@tuthillg]

Beautiful! I especially love the beads! TFS the inspiration, Barbara!

[@malinh911]

I like al of the layering. Your card is so pretty. Thank you for the link to Tattered Nest.

[@judiemjacobson4613]

I was so happy to see this video. I've kind of lost my mojo and not sure how to get it back. I sometimes feel like I just keep doing the same thing over and over. I love the idea of going to Pinterest. I used to do that and I forgot all about it. I definitely will go back now and see what I can find. Thank you so much you always do something so interesting

[@49dragonflies]

I hope you find your mojo! ❤️

[@elizabustos7343]

I just love this card.... it's gorgeous.

[@annelarsson6152]

Wow this card is Absolutely Awesome! My faveourite. 💖👌

[@prof.mommyarty]

I really don't get along with alcohol inks 🙈. Oh your vellum tag is stunning 😍 the mao background is perfect too! Yes, I collect tags 😁 I'm sure lots of us use them. Lol honestly thought you were going to paint your thread wuth Van Gogh. Both cards are gorgeous but I like yours more and it's so 'Barbara ' 👍. Also it's a great reminder that we can use whatever we have in our stash. Tfs and have a great day 💖💖💖

[@fizzyxcustard]

Absolutely beautiful as always. ❤

[@debrapryor5350]

Had a little water to your past that could work I keep the close tags and I male tags out of them. Love seeing love your cards

[@nancynorris9822]

So beautiful! TFS 🤗

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

It's so Barbara! Love it! 🥰 When you mentioned you'd never use Red and Blue together another favorite crafter came to mind... craftybytoni .... different style, however amazing, and uses red & blue together like a champ.

[@darvadeemac3515]

Very nice Barbara. ❤❤❤ Hugs 🤗 Dee

[@jeanadamsick9854]

WOW, LOVE THE CARD. Do take care. Fl.

[@toniscott1029]

Totally gorgeous!

[@ishka28]

Turned out really nice. Thanks for sharing

[@aprilwicker6611]

I have that reinforcer punch (yes, We R Memory Keepers) and dislike it also. It is so hard to position a piece of paper in it, especially if you just want to use a bit of scrap. Great project!
