Perfect Flowers Die & Stamp Set

 Hi Everybody,

The die and stamp set that are new with the Flower Box Collection are the perfect way to make flowers for your cards too.

The can be used all together or divided into the type of flower that you wish to use.

Here I have coloured an assortment in pink and added them on various levels to an inked background.

In the video I show you how to get the look for yourself and it couldn't be easier with just a bit of ink to colour the leaves. They dry mottled and lighter and look really good on your cards

The dies do all the work and all you need to do is add them as you like. 

For this card I used just the Daffodils and this would be perfect for an Easter themed card. 
For this background I simply swiped the pad over the card and that's it. I have used a little grass die cut at the bottom of the flowers as an added touch.

Quick and easy cards that you can either send or replenish your card store for future occasions.  Always handy to have some spare ones for those unexpected times.

Make your self a cuppa and relax as you watch the video to create some really pretty cards.

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.

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 ...
