Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Sidefold Butterfly Card

Hi Everybody,

Last Friday on the Facebook Live I showed you how to create shaped cards with the Butterfly Trails die set.

Those cards had the join at the top of the wings to create a tent fold and they were decorated to suit each one.

In this video I show you how to create more shaped cards but this time the fold is at the side and so gives you a different look to your designs.


They are just as easy to make and how you decorate them is entirely a personal choice. 
But I have tried to give you ideas that are different from the top fold cards and so give you lots o choice when you use your dies. 

I have so many ideas on how to use this die set and I am sure that you will come up with many many more as you play.

More tomorrow ...

Birthday Wishes

Hi Everybody,

Here is a really appropriate card for any wine lovers that have a birthday coming u soon.

I must admit that this was made some time ago and I forgot all about the card. But now now here it is and it is complete with it's own box.

I used a pink and white colour scheme and card is a 300gsm so nice and sting to create the box 

I have had to add this today because I have been busy doing videos to add to these pages with the new Butterfly Trails Collection.

Lou and I will be showing it to you on the Craft Stash Facebook Live page this coming Friday and it is a lovely die set that I hope you will like.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
