Spellbinders Tuscany Strip

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using one of the newer dies from the Renaissance Collection and this one is called 

I have designed it in a pale buff colour with turquoise and the overall effect is rather nice. I have done it with a shadow effect and dotted each of the spirals with a diamante

The words are from the Wedding Collection by 
Becca Feeken

There are some really pretty and intricate dies around at the moment and I have always enjoyed working with large and fancy dies

This card is a 5x7 and there are several layers to it.

The flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts  and just one is my statement piece for this card.

More tomorrow ...

It has a really pretty textured background and lots of flowers along the side that have been sparkled

It is a 6" square and is much nicer in the hand.

Would you like to win this card 
Then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post.

Please come back tomorrow to see if you have won and I will send the card anywhere at my expense.

New YT video

Hi Everybody,

Today there is a new video on YouTube for you to view

This is featuring another magazine freebie that will be on the shelves next week the 25th August.

It is Papercraft Essentials 137 and the gift with the mag is the Birch Tree Embossing Folder and Cute Stamps

This stamp set can take you all through the year and cover many occasions from Spring to Winter


In the video I have tried to show you some of the ways that you could use it but I am sure that you will come up with many more as you play.

Here are just two ideas one for Summer and the other for Christmas and it is the top card that I make in the video

Don't forget to reserve your copy at the newsagents. Or look for it in your local supermarket or craft shop.

And you can buy the magazine or a subscription from  Moremags
