Most of us have the basic shaped dies and this video is yet another way to make what you have work for you without the need to buy special dies.
In this one I am going to share how I created an umbrella and a flowers holder from just circle dies.
You don't need to have the same dies as me, just use any circle or border dies that you have, and the same applies to flowers and leaf dies as they all create the same thing.
And making your own backing papers is another good way to save you the bother of buying patterned paper packs.
Most of the packs have papers that you don't like and will never use or the colours are not the ones you need. so why pay for them in the first place.
Making your own to blend with what you have in mind is a much better way to put your time to good use, and far more satisfying than buying them.
I hope you enjoy the video and please don't forget to leave me a comment and give me the thumbs up, and if you aren't already a subscriber then please consider joining my channel and help the numbers to grow.
I have recently been asked about the ink smoosher that I have been using to create my backgrounds and I got the idea from another YouTuber. I am adding the link to NBCards and Natalie shows you how to make you own
Thank You
Bye for now ...

ReplyDeleteGood Evening Christina And all that visit today. Thankyou so much for the link today. I tried with the other link again but got no joy. Anyway I got the new one and made my own smoocher from the video instructions. I will have a try with it later. I hadn't had time to watch today's video yet as we have been doing a line dance demonstration show for one of the local charity organisations near us. Everything went well and they treated us to a pie and pea dinner as a treat. Thankyou Christina for everything. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
