Sunny Yellow 6x6 Card, Stand & Box

Hi Everybody,

Here is another card to inspire you with the new 6x6 Collection and this one is in a beautiful pale yellow

The video will show you how I created this set and I am really pleased with the result

There are other sentiments to choose from in the collection but the With Love is the one that comes with the card and box set.  

Alter the colours also for another look to your cards.

This one is done in grey and white and if you leave off the bow it could have a more masculine feel to it.

But I love the flowers, ribbons and pearls on the yellow one for a true feminine look

Papercraft Essentials 160 - Whale of a Time

Hi Everybody,

This months copy of Papercraft Essentials will be in the shops on the 17th May

There is a really good die and stamp set for you to play with.

I had many ideas for this gift and some of them are in the video.

I stayed with a cool blue scheme for all the cards to enhance the sea theme

I created the backgrounds with stencils and one was done with copy paper from one of my dies.

This is a good way to extend the use of your own dies and the copy paper will serve you a few times before it needs to be replaced.

Keep a look out for the magazine if it is one that you would like

6x6 Collection - Green & White Card

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using my new 6x6 Collection to create this pretty card with it's own stand and matching box

Green is not a colour I use much but I am really pleased with the way this one turned out.

For the stand I decided to add the patterned piece to the back and the front so that it would look good from any angle as the card was displayed ... and it gives more strength as well.

And both card and stand fit comfortably inside the box and make such a lovely addition as a gift.

The links are below if there is anything that you want to view

6x6 Collection - Rainbow Card

Hi Everybody,

I have been busy making cards using my new 6x6 Collection and Thank You to all of you who have bought it so far

I hope you have lots of fun making beautiful cards and I have a lot more vidoes on the way to share my ideas.

So this card is really easy to make using the Nesting Squares and Rainbow colours with Distress Oxide Inks. 

This fun effect would be a hit with children or maybe those who simply love magical rainbows

When you are adding the inks make sure that you have loads of ink on your brush/sponge or whatever you use to add it.  And add lots to your panel. The more you add the better the blend you will get. And it will look smoother as it dries.

Have fun and enjoy the video
