Trellis Weaving

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card has used the Petals Trellis Insert from the 

Card Making Magic - "Christina Collection"

For this one I have added some yellow ribbon through the slots and it creates a look that is different for your own cards.

It is easy to do and the effect can be quite luxurious

depending on the ribbon or thread that you use.

In the video   Trellis Inserts    I have shown you four examples weaving the ribbon in various directions.

I have altered the colours too so that each one looks unique

Layered Butterflies - Card Making Magic

Hi Everybody,

I love the look of butterflies and I like to add this effect to my cards from time to time.

And so this creation was born using my new dies from Card Making Magic

I am really so excited about this collection and I have been playing with it so much since it arrived.

There is so much that I want I want to show you, and so many things that can be done with this whole collection and  I have lots of videos to be done.

This first lovely card is created in the video Rainbow Butteflies and it is another that is easy to re-create 

Each part of the collection can work individually but they all work so well together and will help you to make cards for all genders, age groups, seasons and occasions

The "Christina Collection" is available exclusively with  Craft Stash  and if you are an existing customer and you add the code WOWCMM10 then you will get a 10% discount at the checkout

The second video is creating a more masculine theme but still with the same butterfly dies and stamps.

We have a card and matching bow with silver embossing powder and the effect is much better in the hand than the video or photographs show.

I hope that these are something you will have a try at re-producing for your self and have fun in the process

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

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

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
