6x6 Flower Box with Perfect Flowers Stamp Set

 Hi Everybody,

The other day I added a photo of the 6x6 Flower Box but in that one I added some silk flowers and of course the box would not then fold flat.

But for this one I have used the Perfect Flowers Die & Stamp Combo that were designed to work with this new collection.

And this of course works as it should and folds flat, and it will fit into a standard sized envelope for you to post to your recipient

This colour scheme is pink and lilac and it looks so soft and gentle together, and I have coloured the flowers to blend in with the box too.


This is the box with the silk flowers and it is very pretty. I even added in some pink feathers as well.

The video will show you how to put this 6x6 size together and I will be bringing you the A5 one soon.

I also plan on doing a video using just the flower stamps and dies and showing the making of a card instead of adding them to the box

So I hope you will join me for that and I hope you enjoy this latest video with the new Flower Box Collection.

More tomorrow ...

Not a sight we see very often in Blackpool as it doesn't stick around in the sea air. But we had the high winds and very rough sea yesterday and we stayed in all day out of harms way.

So today the draw for the Bauble dies has been done and the winner today is ...

Altenew Feathered Lilies

Hi Everybody.

I have been bust doing videos today and completely lost my self in the process. It is only now that I have looked at the clock and realised just how late in the day it is getting.

Ruby will be in later from playschool (Doggy Day Care) and then it will be feed me time.

So I will quickly add this post showing a card that I create with the Feathered Lilies from Altenew.  This was the Craft Your Life Kit for January and I love the size of this die.

This is an A5 card and so you can get some idea of how large the die is as it fills the front of this card perfectly.  I love big statement dies.

This is the same floral stamp set just different colours.

The flowers are raised on foam tape for dimension and the water colouring on both cards is done with Arteza Water Colour paints and paper.

Each in their own way is a very pretty card and I really enjoyed making them 

More tomorrow ...
