Die Cutting Essentials 59 - All Wrapped Up

Hi Everybody,

This months Die Cutting Essentials will be on sale this week in the shops and it has a really useful die set named All Wrapped Up.

Here I have used it to add extra decoration to a box that can hold your recipients gift.

And that simple finishing touch can make all the difference to your gift.

I have used the Emerald Box Die Set  by Card making Magic and all my collections are available at Craft Stash.

If they are out of stock then leave your email address and you will be notified once they are back on their website.

This is only a short video to show how the bow can be used but inside the magazine there is a lot more inspiration for this die set and others ideas that you may like to try.

More tomorrow ...

Another Artistic piece

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for the comments you are leaving about my little artsy pieces and I am enjoying making them, and I am happy that you seem to like them too.

Here is another, this time with gold spoons, flower mesh and a round mirror and of course the string lights behind to add the shine.

The spoons have been added in a different pattern this time and that is part of the fun of designing them to see what I can come up with.

They are very light to hang on the wall and they can go virtually anywhere.

 Each piece is more to be used as wall art rather than a usable mirror but I really like them. 

I am going to try my hand altering glass ware too and I will show you what I create with the junk shop pieces that I buy,

Friday Freebie - English County Garden

Hi Everybody,

I have another complete kit to give away this week and this one is from Die Cutting Essentials Special Edition.

This will come with the magazine, embossing folder, stamps, a die set and a paper pack ready for you to make some lovely cards.

There are lots of ideas in the pages including some from myself, that will hopefully inspire you to get playing with your kit.

If you would like to win this one then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME. From those comments one name will be chosen and the name announced over the weekend. Be sure to come back and check to see if it is you.

You will have 72 hours to claim the gift so go ahead and comment and Good Luck everybody.

The mirror from yesterday was actually silver cup cake cases cut in half and it is very effective when they are glued onto foam board.
 So lots of you were correct in your guesses

More Strange Makes ...

Hi Everybody,

Here is a picture of the plates and spoons mirror with the string lights behind it and it looks lovely on the wall

The lights look blue but they are just bright white string lights and I got them from Amazon.

They are Olafus 16 pack LED String Lights for £16.99.  I love them and they make such a difference to any project and as long as you don't immerse the battery pack they can be used in water 

Now here is a challenge for you ... Can you tell me what this one is made from ??

I also added the lights behind this too and this is on my dining room wall.

More tomorrow ...
