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

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
