Swirly Corner Set 3

Good Afternoon!

First off, I just wanted to let you know that I’m still working on answering your emails/messages regarding the new terms of use, I will do my very best to get back to you all :)

Ok so what’s today’s freebie? Well I’ve had my swirly files on my mind for a few weeks now so I’ve decided to revisit them and add a few more designs to the existing ones.

I have a new swirly corner set for you today, there is a corner design and a central medalion type shape too to complete the set. Of course the corners or medalion work just as well on their own and don’t have to be used together. I’ve added a backing/shadow layer to this set as I found it a little delicate so it adds some stability to the pieces and allows you to add a contrasting coloured edge too :)

I had a request for a save the date sentiment so I’ve added one of those today too :)

Swirly Corner Set 3 Card

After I finished my card I wished I had threaded some ribbon through the medalion piece as I think it would make a great ribbon slider, maybe next time ;)

My Terms of Use have changed

Good Morning!

After these recent events, I posted saying that my terms of use may have to change. I have always tried to make my terms as fair as possible but there’s always someone trying to take advantage and ruin things for everyone else. Unfortunately I am now forced to tighten my terms and take the more heavy handed approach that I have deliberately avoided all of these years.

I have chosen this version of the Creative Commons License which will apply from today onwards.

What it basically means is:

If you make cards etc for friends and family, nothing will change for you.
If you post your cards etc to a blog, appropriate credit would be something like a link to my site.
If you sell your cards etc, this license does not allow for any commercial uses.
however, I might be able to lift the commercial restrictions for you individually:
If, for example, you sell a few cards at a craft fair, school fete or have a box of cards on your desk at work etc, you can contact me and I’m sure we can sort something out :)

On the whole I don’t expect the new terms to effect many of you but if you aren’t sure about anything or have any questions feel free to contact me: bird@birdscards.com
