Layered Flowers and Stamps

Hi Everybody,

First of all a really big THANK YOU to everyone who bought from my new

I am so happy at the reception it has received and the comments that I have had are so encouraging.

To answer some of the questions about other sizes and more additions to the collection all I can say is "Watch This Space"
Today's card has been made using the flower element of the collection and the video Pastel Flowers  will show you how this one and the acetate box was made. 

I added the photo from this angle to show you the depth in the flowers and it is a beautiful card that I was really happy with once it was finished.

I am having so much fun playing with the dies and stamps and I have lots more videos to share with you

Inked Card and Box - Christina Collection

Hi Everybody,

 Today's card is using the Complete Card & Box Die Set but adding some customising to both.

You can make this as unique for your own recipient as you wish

I have used the stamps from the collection to add greetings all over the box.

The video will show you how to achieve the look 


There are so many ways that this can be used and the dies will save you a lot of time measuring

With new vidoes I hope to show you just how much fun you can have with this new collection.

Yellow Floral Card and Box Die Set


Hi Everybody,

This is a most exciting time for me and so much has happened in the last few months. I am in a whirlwind since I have had the opportunity to launch my own brand of dies and stamps.
 Craft Stash came to talk with me a while ago and here is the link to that if you wanted to read the full interview    Launch "Christina Collection"
Today at 10am I will be on Facebook “live” with Craft Stash 

Yesterday to tell you exactly what the box die will help you to do quickly I added a video that showed you two different ways to create them

And although the original idea was for the cards you make with depth to them there is no limit to the uses you can put these boxes too.

In that video I  filled mine with tea lights to give as a gift over the coming Christmas Season.

But you could add soaps. perfumes, scarves, handkerchiefs or any small toy or book for a child.  

Then once you know how to make the boxes  you can decorate them as you like and why not go ahead and create the card to go with it.

This set has used only the dies that are in the pack and I think the results are just lovely.

The collection is exclusive to. Craft Stash and they are offering a 10% discount if you enter the code WOWCMM10.    If you are having trouble with the code then contact Craft Stash customer services

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
