Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

A2 Collection ...

Hi Everybody,

I would like to wish you all a really Happy New Year.
 May you find peace and love in all that you do.
The New Year is starting off with a big bang for me as I have a new size of die set added to my range.  This is a size I have been asked for regularly especially by my US friends and readers.
And so here is the A2 Card & Box Die Set

For the cards shown in the video I have only used the dies that are actually in the A2 set.

And new to this is the addition of the Trellis die to give you everything you need to make a beautiful card and matching box.

But there are a whole host of new dies that can be used with EVERY die in the whole collection whatever the size A2 ... 5x7 ... 6x6

Everything has been carefully thought out so that you can use them with whichever set you like 



So I hope you will enjoy the video and any of the dies that you decide to use. 
And don't forget the brand new Letters and Numbers that came out just before Christmas
Then add them with the flowers, ribbons and pearls from the Decorative Collection 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie - Man of the Moment

Hello Everybody,

This stamp and die set is perfect for any of the men in your family that you will make a card for.

And in the video I show you some of my ideas that you may like to try

There are many ways in which you can use this set once you get the old brain working and you can have some fun in the process too.

Maybe children would like to help you with this to make their own cards for Grandparents or Great-grandparents

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 with your FULL NAME and then pop back tomorrow to see if you have won.

One name will be chosen at random and announced in tomorrows blog post and that is why I need your full name to avoid any confusion over who has won.

More tomorrow ...

Have a Good Christmas

HI Everybody,

This is to wish you all, wherever you are in the world, and whatever your circumstances, the best Christmas that you can have. 
May you have the peace and joy that you long for and I hope that next year brings you some of the good things in life.
In the New Year I hope to be back to videoing again and adding some lovely new cards using my new collection that has part of it now for sale and more new items coming in the coming year.

Thank you all who have stayed with me through the last few difficult weeks and I will be back in 2019

Merry Christmas
