Childs Birthday Card & Matching Envelope

Hi Everybody,

Children always like to tell the world their age and have you noticed that you always add the odd bit whenever you ask  .... "I am five and a half ...."

Here is a lovely card suitable for boy for girl and created with the dies and stamps from Card Making Magic

For this card we have made an envelope again and the card fits very neatly inside it. 

I have used the Balloons Corner Dies
and added it to an A2 Card

The Numbers set gave me the age and if you have the Alphabet set you could even add their name and at present there is special offer on at Craft Stash to buy both plain and overlay dies together in both sets

The video will show you how I made this set ... just long enough for a cuppa 


You can decorate this as you please to suit boy or girl even more

More tomorrow ...

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

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.
