Beautiful Gold and White Card & Box

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful gold and white card is created with the Complete Card and Box die Set and it has such a lot of depth to the front of it.  The inside is also lined to match

The only way to send this is in a box and if it was to go through the post then leave the flowers off the box. and wrap in pretty paper

The video is Gold and White Card and Box and will show you how I made this lovely combination.

It looks much better in the hand and it could be for any occasion.

It would make a beautiful Wedding Card or Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Or change the colours for any anniversary to suit your recipient.

It is not difficult to make and you will be so proud of it once it is finished.

Everything I have used is in the Complete Card & Box set and I added in the Trellis work too.

The stamps will give more life to the flowers and I embossed them in gold powder 

I hope you enjoy the video 

More tomorrow ...

Tuesday Tutorial - Kitty Cats Dies

Hi Everybody,

A super quick card to day using the Kitty Cat dies from Spellbinders. Purrfect for those friends who are cat people and have a birthday coming up. Easy to make in no time at all.

Spellbinders Supplies:

• A2 Matting Basics A
• A2 Matting Basics B
• Grid Embossing Folder

Other Supplies:

• Black/White card from Papermill Direct

Instructions:

With the largest die from Matting Basics A cut the base card by folding an A4 piece in half and placing the die just off the edge of the fold

With the largest die from Matting Basics B cut another piece in white.

Cut a circle that fits the front of the card,  into some scrap card,  and use as a mask to ink in the blue background

Emboss this panel in your folder added texture to the car front 

Cut the cats from black card. 

I cut each one twice and stacked them up for strength

Add a piece of foam pad to the back of each

Stamp a little sentiment onto the thin banner die from either set and arrange on the card with foam pads underneath

Sit two of the cats onto the banner and place the other underneath.

With my Dymo I added "Purrfect" to my stamped   "Aged To"

Christmas Easel Card - "Christina Collection"

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful card has been created using the dies from the  Christina Collection  that is available only from Craft Stash. There is a lot of depth to this but it still fits quite comfortably inside the box. And it looks much better in the hand so somebody is going to be happy with it at Christmas

I have made it in the Easel Style and in the video I take you step by step through the process so that it is easy to follow if you are new to card making.


All my supplies are from Craft Stash so easy to shop as they are all in one place and the prices are good too.

The video is Christmas Easel Card  and I really enjoyed working with the dies.

Lots more videos to come using this collection and if you bought the set then I hope you are enjoying playing with them

Water Coloured Flowers + Box

Hi Everybody,

I am really enjoying playing with these new dies from my Christina Collection and the possibilities are endless for things that you can do with them.

For today's cards I used the same techniques throughout and yet they are all different.

Simply by varying the arrangement of the flowers and adding different Trellis panels to them can make such a big impact.

The video will show you how I got this look and it is not hard to do.

Water Coloured Flowers + Box

I have also changed the orientation of each card using all the ways to make them with the three cutting sided die that is in the Complete Card and Box pack

And it is no secret that my favourite is a 5x7  card in tent fold. 

That way I can add lots to the front and it will still stand

I hope you are enjoying the videos on my new collection and thanks again to those of you who have already bought it

More tomorrow ...
