6x6 Blue and Lilac Card and Box

Hi Everybody,

Today I am adding the first video with the 6x6 Collection card and box, complete with display stand

And I am really happy with the result and the colour scheme as this is such a pretty set to use.


I will be adding lots more videos and samples as I have so many ideas to show you with these dies. 
And I am really excited to be sharing all my ideas with you in the hope that you will give some of them a try for yourself

Enjoy the video 

More tomorrow ...

Card for Bill ...

Hi Everybody,

A little while ago I was asked by a Canadian man if I could make a special card for him to give to his wife on their anniversary as she is a big fan of my work and follows my blog and YouTube channels

The remit was for Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls with a pink colour scheme.

Right up my street ... so I couldn't  refuse ...

I had an email from him after the date to say that his wife was delighted with the card 

I asked him if I could show you all the card once the date had passed and he and his wife agreed that I could

And so here they are the card and box that I made with my 5x7 Christina Collection and posted to Bill in time for their day.

Card & Box - 6x6 Collection

Hi Everybody,

Today I am showing you another card from the new 6x6 Collection.

Next week I will start adding in some new videos to show you what I do.

I will add the list of items used at the bottom of the page for you to view and the video will show you exactly what is in the new collection


Please note that to cut the box you will need a die cutting machine with a larger opening to accommodate the width of the die.

But you can always trace around the edge of the box die and hand cut it as all the other dies will fit the smaller machines.

For this card I have made a stencil from the Shell Trellis and it is covered in the video.
Please come back to see what is created in future videos and hopefully you will join in and create along with me

More tomorrow ...

Card Winner and a Thank You ...

6x6 Collection
Hi Everybody,

First of all I wanted to thank each and every one of you for the support you have for me with my brand new collection. It is very much appreciated. 

I went to the Craft Stash office yesterday to do the Facebook Live and I was greeted with excitement that the whole collection is selling well.

I really enjoyed my day with them and we did lots of photographs and videos to promote the range.

Craft Stash took a big risk on an unknown like me but gladly it has all worked out well.  
My 5x7 Christina Collection continues to do well and now the 6x6 ... 
watch this space for the next wave! 

I have been with them for two years now and I was there at the birth of Craft Stash and I am so grateful to them for the opportunity they offered to me.

But I am also grateful to ALL OF YOU for the faith you have shown in buying my Collections, watching my videos, visiting my blog and website and leaving me your lovely comments.

Part of my way to say Thank You is to keep producing good videos and having this weekly "Give Away" to share my good fortune with you.

And so onto this weeks winner ...
Bejay Roles
please could you email me your postal address to

Friday Freebie - Away in a Manger

Hi Everybody,

As the name of the A4 stamp set suggests this is a collection of Christmas stamps.


But having said that it can be used all year round with a little careful snipping of the images.

 For example snip away the wreath from the top of the fireplace and it would make a lovely male birthday card

Time to get the imagination going with this set.
 The video will show you how I used it Away in a Manger  and you can come up with many more to suit your own style or recipient

Would you like this set ? Then all you need to do is leave me a comment and one name will be chosen from them.
Please leave your full name or you will be excluded from the draw. I cannot accept entries from people who only leave a single name, or 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
