Card & Matching Envelope

Hi Everybody,

Every card needs a box or an envelope to send it and what could be better than one that matches the card.

I love to make cards with lots of flowers on them and they end up quite deep and so a box was the only way to give them.

But every so often I will make one that is not as bulky and for that I would need an envelope

Any of the Card and Box Die Sets can be used to create the box OR the envelope so that you can get lots of use from the die sets by Card Making Magic.

All my collection is available at Craft Stash and there is a lot to choose from ... and more to be added next month. Let the video show you how to make the envelope for your own cards

This is a bit of different colour scheme for me but one that would suit either gender for a birthday.

Dress it up more and make the box for all your female recipients and it would be just as good.

But whatever you do always enjoy your cardmaking 

More tomorrow ...

Card and Matching Box

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using the 5x7 Card & Box Die Set to create a box to match our card and  we are going super decorate it and add the card to it

I will be adding one video as an envelope from the same die set to show you just how versatile these dies can be.

This box or envelope can be done with any of the box die sets 5x7 ... 6x6 ... or the A2

Everything on the card is from the Card Making Magic Collection and they are all available at Craft Stash

Make this Mothers Day card in your Mums favourite colours or send it to your Gran or a favourite Aunt. Change the sentiment and it would make a beautiful Birthday card too.

A Card for Dad

Hi Everybody,

This really easy card is created with some of the new dies from Card Making Magic

I have used the Happy Birthday embossing folder and Letterpressed the inks onto it to give me the coloured base

The Border die has been cut twice and added beneath the central panel.

The letters have been cut from card that has been inked in the same colours and then covered with Glossy Accents.

Before the Glossy Accents have dried I have sprinkled in some gold glitter to give an added hint of sparkle.

The word has been added to the card with foam tape to raise it up, and the panel added to the base again with foam tape.

Perfect for your Dads birthday or Fathers Day or any other occasion that you may want to send your dad a card
