I have another free gift to tell you about today with my favorite magazine Simply Cards and Papercraft Issue 164. It will be on sale in selected supermarkets, craft stores and WHSmiths on the
15 th June
Family Ties is a set Nesting Dolls dies and stamps.that will give you the chance to colour these beautiful dolls for your self
There is also a paper download of sentiments and pre coloured dolls ... especially useful for those who don't enjoy colouring and they will help you to make cards quickly when you are in a hurry.
Simply cut out the sentiment that you want, and then use the dies in the gift to cut out the dolls, and add them to your card
The card to the right has been created in that way and all I have done is make the background with a stencil, add the dolls with foam pads and place the sentiment at the top ... done ... quick and easy !!
You can get the magazine or a subscription from More Mags
But for this card I took a lot more time and stamped the dolls and coloured them with Spectrum Noir pencils.
I created the background with stamps and Distress Inks.
The video will show you how I made the dolls open to reveal another one inside just as the real Nesting Dolls would be
It is not difficult to do but the card it produces is a fun one to give.
Here is the video for you
Enjoy it and the magazine with it's wonderful free gift
More tomorrow ...
