Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Blue and Lemon

Hi Everybody,

Today's combination is pale lemon and a beautiful blue and I think they look wonderful together.

It is such a refreshing colour scheme that looks elegant at the same time.

I have used the 5x7 Card and Box set and topped it with some layers from the Ornate Nesting rectangles.

Snuggled in behind the flowers are the Delicate Pearly Swirls dotted with blue pearls  and the leaves are from the Daisy Flourish Flowers

And they all sit on top of the Flourish Embossing Folder panel

I would be more than happy to receive a card like this and it would sit on display for everybody to see.

More tomorrow ...

Card Making Magic Oval Rainbow Card

Hi Everybody,

Today I had some fun with the new A5 Nesting Ovals and created this Rainbow Card which In think would delight children if they got one for their birthday.

Their very own Rainbow and if you added their age it would be doubly delightful.

I didn't have the right coloured card so I used my pens to get the look. I only coloured the outside edges of the card as no one will see the centres.


The little die set with sun and clouds is an old Spellbinders one that I have and I couldn't find it on their website.  But the one I have linked to would still it fit the bill but the sun is a little larger than the one I used.

I hope you enjoy the video ... it's really short so wont take up too much of your evening

Baby Book Card

Hi Everybody,

This pretty project has been filmed to show you how I made it as a really special baby card.

I used the A5 Nesting Ovals to create the pages to my book  and they play really well with older dies from the card making magic range.

All me collections are available with Craft Stash

This project can be dresses p as much as you would like for boys or girls. And it would serve a lot of other occasions too


I used to make this kind of thing with large Spellbinders dies but they were all retired and no longer available. So I think these are an excellent choice for those who like these book type cards

Have fun with it and I promise you it is not difficult or time consuming to make.

More tomorrow ...
