Card Making Magic Lacey Nested Ovals

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for the lovely comments about the new collection and I am so happy that you seem to like it.

Today I am adding a video to show you how I created this card which is another Oval but using it in a different way.

And because there was not a lot of depth to it I was able to add it to an envelope that I decorated to match

I used a lovely cream and pink colour scheme and it is very soft on the eye.

If you add plenty of glue to the seams of the envelope it is sturdy enough to go through the post, and you can add an address label to the front for delivery.

Much nicer than those brown envelopes with bills in them !!

More tomorrow ...

Still with the Ovals ...

Hi Everybody,

Have you had a chance to look at the new collection yet?  

Craft Stash will be launching it officially on Thursday and I really hope you are going to like.

I think it is wonderful and takes me right back to the street I should be on ... making pretty floral feminine cards

So now I have shown you four different ways that you can use the one Lacey Oval set of dies and I am sure there are going to be many many more.

I haven't had time yet to do some videos but they are on their way ... at the moment I am simply enjoying playing with them to see what I can do.

So far I can say truthfully that I love them all and I am very pleased with all the cards that I have created with any of the new shapes in the Lacey Collection

Lacey Ovals - Mix & Match

Hi Everybody,

Here is another card created with the Lacey Ovals and this one is playing very nicely with the Nesting Ovals from the Original set of dies, which is in white

They are really sturdy cards because of the layers and of course it will fit really well into a box as a gift for your recipient.

I love the colour of this card and I have mixed spots and stripes in the same shade.

I have added the links to the items I have used below so that you can see what the new Lacey Collection looks like.

This is a collection that I really love and it designed to extend any dies that you may have from the original "Christina Collection" 

You can build up your own stash as you go along knowing the each piece will work with the other.

And although this Ovals set is linked to the 5x7  it will make free standing cards and can also be used on any of the other shapes too.

Beautiful New Collection

HI Everybody,

For those of you with Eagle Eyes you will have noticed some new additions to the 

Craft Stash Website.

And I am so delighted to tell you that these are the new Lacey Collection that have been added to my brand of Card Making Magic

The card on the right is created with the Lacey Oval and they have been created to compliment the 5x7 Card & Box Die Set

It is a beautiful die and there are such a lot of different ways that it can be used.

Here I have added it on a 5x7 card and used one of the New Lacey  Ribbon #2  dies to create the background in the oval.

These dies are just so feminine and intricate and the cards they will help you make are sure to be beautiful. I have loved playing with them ... ALL

Here is another way to use the dies to create a stand alone card and I have added two different sized frames to surround the verse.

I have added the links below for you to see the collection and I promise you you will not be disappointed with it.

And videos will be along shortly to show you how I make my cards

More tomorrow ...
