Transfer Gel and Foil

Hi Everybody,

I would like to share a video with you using the Transfer Gel that I bought the other week

I am really pleased with the result and the cards look very expensive with this fabulous effect added.

I used some of the Creative Stencils from Craft Stash and the Flourish one is my absolute favourite.

For this card I did pink foil on pink card and then layers to give dimension

The sentiment is one I have had for a long time and I thought it would set this foil off perfectly.

Here is the Flourish again but this time it is silver foil on a white background.

I layered it with pink and added in some lovely pink flowers. And that it all it took to create this luxurious card

Imagine this for a Silver Wedding Anniversary card
.... Perfection !!

More tomorrow ...

Hi Everybody,

Here are the latest additions to the All Occasions Collection and this is part of their Christmas range

This card features in a new video and the link is here ...

I used Distress Oxides for the background and the wave die in the set to create the channel.

The snow flakes are all glittered and the card is really pretty in the hand

This one is from the Merry Christmas folder and the die set and that video can be found here ..

Apple Blossom - All Occasion Collection

Hi Everybody,

This post was added a while ago but due to a technical hitch with Craft Stash it had to be removed. That is why there are already comments at the end of the post. But now that things are sorted it can be reintroduced.

It is to tell you about the additions to their All Occasion Collection (AKA "That Folder") which sells out time and time again.

Now they have decided to extend the

  All Occasion Collection 

and so there are more folders that will mix and match with each other,  and lovely dies that can aid that process.

There are also some stamps that will cover all occasions and they will fit into the wave die to add to the card

I also have two new videos featuring this new collection and I hope that you will enjoy both.

The first video uses the Letterpress Technique and one of the new folders and I show you how easy it is to mix and match them for another look to your designs

Apple Blossom All Occasion Collection 1

The second one shows you how I created the flower from the die set 

  Apple Blossom All Occasion Collection 2

There are lots of ideas in the videos and here is another that I did way back in February 2016

  Craft Stash Video    

So grab yourself a cuppa and relax as you view the three short tutorials and I hope you enjoy the extended

 Apple Blossom - All Occasion Collection

 that is available from Craft Stash now ... and there is much more to come soon

More tomorrow ...

More "Goodies"

Hi Everybody,

The postman has been busy delivering items here for the last few weeks and here are some more of the things that I have been buying.

I treated my self to the whole collection of Distress Oxides Inks and they are fabulous to work with.

They blend so easy and are very forgiving with sponges.

I also bought the Scrubber Pad and the Stamp Shammy to make sure that I keep all my stamps cleaner than I have in the past.

I got the ATG to add layers to my cards and that is the pink thing on the right. I don't usually get on with tape runners so I will let you know how I do with this one. I end up all tangled up with the tape and I have no idea what it is I do wrong 

The label maker on the left is to label and file all my dies, stamps and magazine freebies neatly so that I can find them when I need them. And the Dymo will make smaller labels to add to my cards and I am sure you have seen that in use several times in the last few vidoes.

So I have to go now as I have a lot of plastic packets that need labelling and filing .... and if things stand still long enough in my craft room .... they get labelled  !!

More tomorrow ...
