I have been crafting now for quite a few years and I have had this dream for a long time to bring out my own collection of dies, stamps and stencils.  And I am so excited to tell you that my dream has come true. This is the first wave of new goodies that I will be bringing to you and they are being launched a day early from Craft Stash and they are offering you a 10% discount if you enter the code WOWCMM10  at the checkout

This is the news I have been waiting to tell you about.  Today my collection of dies and stamps will be on sale for you to buy. And I am so happy to be able to show you and tell you all about it

I have been so busy making videos and samples to showcase my collection and this one will explain to you exactly what it all does.

I really hope you enjoy the video and that you may want to make your own beautiful cards complete with their matching box.

Magazine Freebie Videos

Hi Everybody,

So today I have two vidoes for you to view.
 Simply Cards & Papercraft 169 and Papercraft Essentials 152 and both will be on sale on the 19th October.

I decided to keep these cards really quick and easy to do as I know that some of you make lots of them to sell for Charities.

They are just as pretty though and so I hope you will enjoy the process.

The supplies are listed at the bottom of the page for you to see.

This one is simply silver embossing powder which brings out the design in the stamp really well

What could be easier when you have lots to do. 

The video will show you how these two are made

Simply Cards & Papercraft 169 - Hunkdory

The second video is for Papercraft Essentials 152 which will be on sale on the same day and this is the really cute Penguin die set

And if you have either of these magazine then the
 "Cat is out of the Bag"
as you will have read the article in there about my new adventure ... and I will tell you all about it tomorrow

More White Embossing

Hi Everybody,

Here is another of those white embossed cards that I made a few weeks ago and I really like the effect.

It stands out and it is very tactile. And of course for me the flowers make all the difference.

They are a mixture of Roses, Tulips, Rose Buds and die cut leaves. All sparkled up with glitter.

The word YOU has the addition of Glossy Accents to it and shows up well on the photograph.

This is a technique I will be using again and it is very easy to do. I may even do a video on it to show you how I did it.

It will take me a little while because at present my time is taken up and all be revealed soon as the launch date has been brought forward to Thursday

So to keep your interest here is another sneaky peak of what is to come... and I can't wait to share my good news with you all

More tomorrow ...
