Friday Freebie - Woodland Friends

Hi Everybody,

As Promised last week I have quite a lot to "Give Away" over the next few weeks and they are all good prizes to win. 

Starting this week I have two of these die sets and each will come with a card from the video

It is a really pretty die set that has some sentiment stamps  and it will be a useful addition to anybodies crafting stash.

If you would like to win this set then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post 

Add your FULL name and come back tomorrow to check if  you are one of the two winners whose name is shown

I cannot chase you up and you will have 72 hours in which to claim it. 
If any winner does not claim the gift they will lose out on the prize and it will be offered again at a later date to some one else ... so don't let that be you because they are quality prizes.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Pink & White Card

Hi Everybody,

Just before I went away for the week I was on Craft Stash Facebook Live.

I did a demo to show how a pretty card can be transformed into something really lovely with the addition of ....
Flowers, Ribbons & Pearls

The plain card  was created on the show and I had already lined the inside of the base

I pre-made the parchment flowers from the Layered Poinsettia Stamp and Die set
and added some pearl stamens
The background is cut with the  Snowflake Panel
and layered onto pink card.
The circle centre piece is with the Fancy Nesting Circles Die

The ribbon, Lace and gemstones are from the Decorative Collection
The card and leaves are from the original Card and Box  Die Set
The stand is made with the Easel Card Stand Die

The completed 5x7 card fits neatly into its box and is ready to send to your recipient

More tomorrow ...
