Brand New 6x6 Collection ....

Hi Everybody,

At last I can tell you about the new collection coming this week to Craft Stash and I know that many of you have waited patiently for this 6x6 size.

There are some beautiful dies as well as the complete card and box die set in the squarer size.

I have introduced some words dies too and they are in two parts so that they can be layered onto your projects if you wish.

The video gives you  small glimpse of what is coming and I will be doing lots more over the coming weeks with this and the original 5x7 sets as they will play nicely together.

I am delighted with this set of dies and embossing folders and I will show them all  on Friday on the

  Craft Stash Facebook Live page.

Please join me at 12.30 pm 4th May 

More tomorrow ...

Die Cutting Essentials 37 - Radiant Butterflies

Hi Everybody,

The free gift with this months Die Cutting Essentials is a fabulous die set from ....

drum roll please .... Card Making Magic !!

It is Radiant Butterflies and it is a lovely die set that will cut the pattern into your card.

I have really loved playing with this set and all the cards I made are shown at the end of the video.

I have stayed with the same colour scheme simply to show you that if you are new to card making that you don't need a vast amount of supplies to get lovely results.

 Each of my cards looks different with just the free gift and the odd piece from my supplies.

And I really love this colour blend and it is one I have used many times in the past.

For the card to the right I have used the Dinosaur from Pawfect Pets by Crafti Potential and that creates a fun card ideal for children 

The dies and stamps can be used all year round for male and female cards and so I hope you will look out for it tomorrow in your supermarkets and craft stores.

More tomorrow ...

Follow Your Dreams ...

Hi Everybody,

Last week I was asked by a lady called Veronica if I  had any Birthday cards that I could donate to her charity.  She is part of   FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS  which is a group of people who help children with learning difficulties.

Many of these children never receive a Birthday card and it is the charities aim to make sure that each child will get some on their special day.

I was delighted to help out and I sent her a box of 125 cards for children of all ages ... boys and girls ... complete with envelopes to use as and when she likes. 

And I have more that I will send too.

I also offered to add their address to my blog post to see if any of you kind souls would like to do the same.

Many of you make cards and then they sit there never to be used. 

This is s way to put them to good use and give pleasure to children around the UK.

So if you are interested then either contact her or send your cards for the attention of 

Veronica Preece

 Fundraising Assistant.

 Follow Your Dreams, 

Gwynfa House, 

Main Road, 

Church Village,

 Pontypridd. 

CF38 1RN.

and tell her where you have read about her request

Playing with Altenew ...

Hi Everybody,

I have been playing with new dies and stamps from Altenew and I love the big flowers that these dies produce.

They are layering dies and give you that 3-D look really easily just using different shades of card for the layers.

Everything on this card is from Altenew from the background to the flowers. 

And HELLO has been covered with Glossy Accents 

Both of these have used the same Peony Dream 3-D Die 

If you don't have the shades of card that you want .... but you have coloured markers .... then you can create them easily for your self by colouring white card

These dies and stamps are not cheap to buy but the cards that they make are really beautiful and I will be using them again quite a lot in the future

More tomorrow ...
