Lacey Circles 5x7 Card

Hi Everybody,



Today's card is using the Lacey Nested Circles on a 5x7 Card and it has lots of layers from all the different sized dies in the set. 

Both types of flowers are from my collections and I have added them with a hot glue gun to keep them in place.

There are lovely deep pink roses and some two tone pink tipped flowers. I have dotted glue on them and sprinkled glitter for a sparkly effect.

The sentiment is from the A5 Sentiments #1 and I have stamped it in black ink

The pearls and ribbon are from my stash but just add the finishing touch to my card.

I have also added the easel stand for this card to display it on and it makes a very pretty addition to any card

All my collections are available from Craft Stash and if something should be out of stock then leave your email to be notified when it is back.

More tomorrow ...

Do you like Waterfall Cards? or are you not sure how to make them ? 

Either way this die set is sure to help with the making of them,  if only to save a little time measuring and cutting out

So as well as the dies this week you will also get some papers and the magazine to browse through  and that will give you more ideas on how to use the set

Now if this is something that you would like to expand your own collection 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 drawn and the winner notified in a blog post over the weekend. Please be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.

Simply Cards & Papercraft

Hi Everybody,

Are you looking out for this months Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine? Especially after the tip of what was going to be in it in the last video I did.

It is of course the lovely Fern Leaf Die and Stamp Set and it will match beautifully with this months Geo Panel Die that was in last weeks Die Cutting Essentials.

It is a really good way to build up your die sets especially if you're a Bright Rosa fan.

So in the video I have created some pretty cards, it is not a long one but I hope you enjoy it just the same

Papercraft Society Box 6

Hi Everybody,

So it's my turn again to bring you the latest box from the Papercraft Society and this Box 6. It is on sale now at

I am really happy with this collection and the curved die is a beautiful addition to your designs.

The video will show you what is in the box and there will be exclusive videos for members of the monthly subscription.

But I hold my hand up to two mistakes in the video 
1. The ribbon is yellow polka dots and not white
2. There is a yellow polka dot card included too
So you can smack my hand now for being naughty !!

I hope you enjoy this one as much as you enjoyed the first box. 

You can take out a monthly sub to be sure of getting your box delivered to your door each month

Each month the designer is different and the contents of each box will be put together by them for your delight

It will help you to build up your own stash with quality items including inks, papers, card stock and embellishments.


Happy Crafting

More tomorrow ...
