Friday Freebie - Scenic Winter

Hi Everybody,

This little card was created with the dies that came free with Simply Cards & Papercraft last year.

And although it says Winter in the title it can be used all year round.

The video that was made for the dies is here ...

Scenic Winter Border Dies and there are several ideas that you may like to try

If this is a set that you would like to have then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post, and from those comments one name will be chosen at random as the winner and announced tomorrow

Please leave your full name or you will be excluded from the draw. After last weeks confusion I cant accept single names, anonymous or unknown.
You can simply add it at the end of the comment if that is easier for you. And don't forget to come back in the morning to see if it is your name that is listed.
You will have 72 hours in which to claim the gift

Crafti - Magic - Shabby Chic

Hi Everybody,

Today I have joined forces with Christine Smith and created a really pretty card with the new Crafti Potential dies and stamps.

Both of our collections will work really well together and we have more ideas combining the two for the future.

I have created my flowers using the three dies from the Stitched Rectangles Floral set.

They are really easy to do and look so pretty on the card.  And I love the pink and yellow mix for the water colouring

I hope you enjoy the video as you relax with a cuppa and watch for a little while.

Die Cutting Essentials 36 - Underwater Friends

Hi Everybody,

A cute fish bowl, plants and fish are the free gift with this months Die Cutting Essentials and it will be on sale on the 12th April.

For the card shown I have cut some of the fish from Funky Foam and used them as stamps to build up my background

But there are lots of scenes that you can make with the seventeen piece die set

 Either colour them your self or cut them from coloured card to save time

I had fun playing with this set and I used one of the new Crafti Potential stamps to make the water in the fish bowl.

Look out for the magazine in your shops and I also have some cards featured on page 22  for you to view

Layered Florals Background

Hi Everybody,

Both of today's cards are created with the stamps from the Layered Florals set  in the
 "Christina Collection"
and they have made really easy backgrounds

Use any inks that you have in your own stash but you will need a light and a darker one for the layered flower

I show you an easy way to make card bases  and no dies are needed for either style

Both cards are stamped in a random way and choose your favourite colours to get the look

Change the look with silver embossing powder.


Both cards are handy to keep on one side for that unexpected occasion
