Papercraft Essentials 170 (PE170) Butterfly Rose Cut & Emboss

Hi Everybody,

The magazine I want to share with you this week is Papercraft Essentials 170 and it will be in the shops on the 7th February.

It is a two in one folder in that it cuts and embosses at the same time to give you a really pretty look for your own designs.

The video is not long but I do make the card featured and it is really easy to do.

 So I hope you will give it a try.

It doesn't matter if the inking is blotchy because you are going to die cut into it anyway so don't worry about that aspect

Just enjoy playing and making lovely cards

More tomorrow ...

Blue & White Shaker Card

Hi Everybody,

Here is another video for you to view this week using the same 6x6 Card and Box die set as yesterday

This is a shaker card and if you are new to card making then please don't be intimidated as they are really easy to create

I will show you step by step how I made this one and then you can ad your own artistic flare to it and make beautiful designs

I have used only elements from the die set and a few sequins from my stash and I am more than happy with the result.

The little Easel card Stand just adds that little bit extra for your recipient to display it on their mantle shelf for everybody to see the wonderful card that you made especially for them

Teal & Pink Floral Card

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with the 6x6 Card and Box Die Set

 I have added in the flowers, ribbons and pearls from my Embellishments to make it really feminine, and combined them with others from Wild Orchid Crafts

It is in teal and pink on a white card base and it looks really special in the hand. 

I haven't made the box for this one but the flowers are deep as so you would need one to give or send the card

There are lots of layers to this card and the inside is also lined so make sure you have enough matching card before you start.

And of course extra if you wanted the box to match too.

But I am sure you will agree that is it a very pretty creation and I would be more than happy to get a card like this for my birthday
