Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

One Background - Two Cards (Video Tutorial)

Hi Everybody,

Still playing around with Brusho Crystal Colours and having lots of fun with them.

I thought it would be a good idea to make two cards from one of my pieces and so not waste any of my efforts

For this one I have used Lemon and Emerald Green and the video shows you how I did it.

The die I have used is the Classic Heart  and teamed it with the matching Scalloped Hearts



And the heart that was cut out has gone on to make another pretty card but with a different sentiment.

I bought my set from Make the Day Special and is Grand Greetings  by My Favorite Things

There are four useful phrases on the sheet and they are quite large stamps

I hope you enjoy the video and will pop back again as there is a lot more to come




The offer for the beads went very well and they went like hot cakes. 

I ended up sending out 30 packs altogether  ... with a little extra gift from me inside each one ... and they have been sent to Canada,  USA, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Portugal, Ireland and all over the UK

Please let me know when they arrive with you and I hope you enjoy the packages 

Some of you said you would like some but didn't give me your address ... so sorry you missed out and you are now too late they have all gone. 



More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

  6. 2 for the price of 1 - good idea but must admit I'm not fond of the colours.For my taste would look pretty with blues or pinks!!

  7. I love the two different looks using the negative and positive of the die cut hearts. The background is a o colorful and bright, in all the color combinations. Anyone would be thrilled to receive these cards. I love the over sized sentiment. Not sure they ship to the US but we're sold out anyway. Lovely cards, Christina!

  10. Hi Christina,
    A beautiful pair of cards and a great way to use as much of your cardstock as you can...I love frugal crafting lol. I think the yellow and green go really well together and I love the way you've used appropriately coloured map pins to block the hole in the lids of your brusho crystals. A very easy way to pick out the colour you need just by looking at the lid.

  13. Lovely cards, although they are both very pretty, I think I would prefer the first card. Thanks for the tutorial, the brusho crystals look very easy to use, haven't seen any in our area yet.
