Beautiful Boxes

Hi Everybody,

With the A5 Nested Rectangles Set you can make no end of boxes in different sizes to suit most things that a crafter would like to add to them

Add a silk scarf, gloves, perfume, soaps, candles, handkerchiefs, craft goodies or even ... chocolates

For this one I have added the pretty Poinsettia Wrap around the box and then dressed it with a big silk ribbon and bow.

Perfect for any time of year and any occasion, and the choice of size is yours with this set of dies.

You can even alter the style of box to suit your needs too.

Have fun and decorate them any way you want with stencils, stamps or just colours but remember that boxes will cost you a lot more in the shops than making your own

Beautiful Birdcage Stamp Collection

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with just the A5 stamp set from the Beautiful Birdcage Collection

I used the Flourish Stamp at the top of the sheet and then added in the Humming Bird dipping his beak for the nectar from the flowers.

The flowers are in two different heights to add interest to the card and I used small pieces of foam pads behind some of them.

I coloured all the design with Alcohol Markers and dotted the centre of each flower with a white gel pen. The butterflies are stamped in yellow.

Here is another card made from the same stamp set and I have used the feathers to create my background.

Once they have been coloured I have gone over them with a clear sparkle pen.

The sentiment is also from the set and that has been added with foam tape and one single flower added to the edge also with foam underneath.

I used the same colour pens to add little dots of colour around the card and then mounted that panel onto the card front with foam tape.

Quick. easy and pretty cards, and perfect if stamping is your thing
