New A5 Complete Card & Box Die Set

Hi Everybody,

So the new A5 Complete Card & Box Die Set was shown for the first time on Craft Stash Facebook Live last Friday and what a fabulous set it is. 

And there are so many dies in each of the new additions you will be amazed. 

This is the first card and box I have made with the A5 Die Set  and I am going to add some videos to show you more during the next few weeks.

At the present time Craft Stash are offering you 10% off your purchases if you spend over £30 on the either the new A5 collection  or the Lacey Collection  and these offers will run until the 14th June

The flowers on the card are created with the Rose Flourish Die Set and they will be the subject of another video to show you how I got the look for my display.

I am really delighted at the dies and designs in both of these new collections and amazed at the "amount of bang you get for your bucks"  and I hope you will like them as much as I do ... but stand by because there is a lot more to come in the future.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Gift Card Envelope

Hi Everybody,

This little envelope is a much nicer way for you to give the gift of money or a gift card and you can make it as plain or as pretty as you want.

I used the Lacey Circles to decorate mine with one circle cut in half and both pieces added to the front in layers

I used a little Velcro dot to keep it closed and added the flowers and pearls for a more elaborate look.

I also added a circle to the back as I had done to the front and dotted all the scallops with pearls.

It's plenty big enough to add a card along with your gift and you could add the name of the recipient with an alphabet set of dies.

I shall be doing this in a video shortly so I hope you will come back to view it.

It will be next week now as I am off to the studios to do Craft Stash Facebook Live on Friday so I hope you will join me there, and see what goodies are on offer this week for you to win.

More tomorrow ...

Red Card & Matching Envelope

Hi Everybody,

Today's card would make a lovely Valentines Day one so you'll have to save it till next year now !!

I used the Lacey Circles and they went very quickly when they where on Hochanda.

They are available at Craft Stash and if they should be out of stock then leave your email address and they will notify you once they are back.

It is a beautiful die set ... but then so are the Ovals and the Rectangles. I am happy to work with any of them and of course they play really nicely with the original sets too. Enjoy the video to see how I made what looks like an elaborate card


The patterned piece is some that I brought back from Phoenix when I went over there ... that's how long I have had it. I think it is by Anna Griffin but I don't know if you can still get it.

More tomorrow ...
