Making the Pizza Box ...without the Pizza !!

Hi Everybody,

So today we are going to use any of the Card Making Magic Box Dies that you have and we are going to create a different style for the box.

Yesterday I added the Envelope Style that is useful for flatter cards but this one can have cards or other items added to it as an alternative style and could be great for items that you sell

There are also two other ways to make the box and that video was added when the dies where first released.  But well worth a look if you are new to the concept of making your own boxes 

This has to be good value to be able to create three styles for the box and an envelope too.

And that should cover most of the things that you would need for your cardmaking

Creating an Envelope with your Box Dies

Hi Everybody,

Whichever size of box die you have from the 

Card Making Magic Collection you will be able to make three different styles of box and an envelope.

I added a video when the dies where first launched to show you the 

Two Ways To Make Your Boxes

Tomorrow I am adding the video that will show you how to make the Pizza Box but today we are focusing on the envelope

The video is not long because this is so easy to do and gives you another way to use the dies for cards that don't  have a lot of depth to them.

The more ways you can use your dies the better value they are and it is always so much fun playing and trying to come up with new ideas with anything from my collection Card Making Magic which is available at Craft Stash

Card & Gift Winner and Hochanda

Hi Everybody,

I have had a very busy weekend starting on Friday when I drove down to Peterborough to Hochanda.

I had two shows at 11 am and again at 2 pm and both went really well. 

So if you bought something from the shows I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

This is one of the samples that I made using only dies that are in the new A2 Card & Box die set.

In between those two shows there was also one recorded for US TV but I don't know when that one will be going live.

I have also done the draw for the Friday Freebie since I got back and the name this week is ...

Maggie Gardner

My apologies to Ann Topp the winner of the Summertime Scenes because I found the package in my car and I forgot to post it to you .... I am so sorry but I will do it today.
