Friday Freebie Art Nouveau Collection

Hi Everybody,

If stamping is your thing then you are going to love this big stamp set.

It is an A4 size and the title is Art Nouveau and it will help you to make some really lovely cards for male and female. 

There is no video to show you with this stamp set but the magazine has lots of inspiration for you to see.

Would you like this set??  Then please leave me a comment with your FULL NAME at the end of the post. From those comments one name will be chosen and notified in a blog post over the weekend.

Can I remind you again that if there is not your full name then you will not be entered into the draw.
Thank you to most of you who are very obliging with this but there are the odd one or two that do not comply.

I am not being awkward about this it just ensures that the prize goes to the correct winner.
 I may have four Sues or three Maggies,  so if they all only added one name it would be very awkward trying to name the winner.

But with a full name then it is easier to get the correct person and send them their prize.

Good Luck everybody

Don’t forget to join me on Craft Stash Facebook Live at 1 pm

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 ...

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
