A5 Flower Box - 2 Styles

 Hi Everybody,

I have been asked to do a video using the A5 Flower Box set. I have done quite a few now with the smaller 6x6 set and added them here on the blog.

They are of course available on YouTube should you wish to re visit them. I now have hundreds of videos on my YT Channel and they cover all different ideas.

In the smaller box videos I have shown how I have stamped, coloured and cut the flowers from the matching die and stamp set.

But in this one I have simply shown the making of the box in 2 different ways. 

You can decorate yours with any flower dies or other items that you may have and some ideas would be to add toys to the box for a child's card. sporting goods or tools for the men in your life. Gardening items for the keen green fingered people you may know. Books for the book worms or sewing times for the dress makers. The idea are endless.

The video for the Smaller box is here.     6x6 Flower Box and to colour the flowers and die cut them the video is here ...  Perfect Flowers Die & Stamp Set

Hope you enjoy

More tomorrow ...

Perfect Flowers Die & Stamp Set

 Hi Everybody,

The die and stamp set that are new with the Flower Box Collection are the perfect way to make flowers for your cards too.

The can be used all together or divided into the type of flower that you wish to use.

Here I have coloured an assortment in pink and added them on various levels to an inked background.

In the video I show you how to get the look for yourself and it couldn't be easier with just a bit of ink to colour the leaves. They dry mottled and lighter and look really good on your cards

The dies do all the work and all you need to do is add them as you like. 

For this card I used just the Daffodils and this would be perfect for an Easter themed card. 

For this background I simply swiped the pad over the card and that's it. I have used a little grass die cut at the bottom of the flowers as an added touch.

Quick and easy cards that you can either send or replenish your card store for future occasions.  Always handy to have some spare ones for those unexpected times.

Make your self a cuppa and relax as you watch the video to create some really pretty cards. 

And please consider subscribing to my YouTube Channel, click the notification bell and you will always know when there is a new video that I am sharing with you .

6x6 Flower Box with Perfect Flowers Stamp Set

 Hi Everybody,

The other day I added a photo of the 6x6 Flower Box but in that one I added some silk flowers and of course the box would not then fold flat.

But for this one I have used the Perfect Flowers Die & Stamp Combo that were designed to work with this new collection.

And this of course works as it should and folds flat, and it will fit into a standard sized envelope for you to post to your recipient

This colour scheme is pink and lilac and it looks so soft and gentle together, and I have coloured the flowers to blend in with the box too.

This is the box with the silk flowers and it is very pretty. I even added in some pink feathers as well.

The video will show you how to put this 6x6 size together and I will be bringing you the A5 one soon.

I also plan on doing a video using just the flower stamps and dies and showing the making of a card instead of adding them to the box

So I hope you will join me for that and I hope you enjoy this latest video with the new Flower Box Collection.

More tomorrow ...

Happy Valentines Day

Hi Everybody,

Here are some of the cards that I made and they were shown on The Craft Store last week and they are from the new Flower Box Collection.

This is the 6x6 Flower Box and there are lots of dies in the set.

I have added silk flowers to both of my displays but if you are creative enough and can add  flower oasis and something to contain the water then you could add real ones.

I will be adding some videos showing how to construct both sizes and they will be with you soon.

There is a larger sized die set in the form of an
 A5 Flower Box and that has a different shape altogether. 

Adding these silk flowers creates a lot of bulk and the card will not fold flat.

But if you use the Perfect Flowers stamp and die set, also in the collection, then you can stamp and colour exactly what you need and add them to the box instead, and that way it will fold flat and fit in a large envelope to post.

But whichever way you use them they are sure to create a really special card for you to give for any occasion throughout the year. 

More tomorrow ...
