Gatefold Butterfly

Hi Everybody,

This is the new collection that has been seen on Create and Craft and the one that Lou Collins and I launched on Facebook Live last Friday

I shared two videos with you then and there are lots of things that can be done with this new die set as well as the sentiment dies and stamps that are part of the collection.

The card shown here is the 5x7 size and the butterfly that this produces is the taller and slimmer version. 

But they work in the same way and whatever technique is shown for one can be achieved with the other. 

In this video I show you how to make both styled of the Gatefold Card using the dies and each one is a lovely card

This pink card is the 6x6 and is a wider butterfly than the other.

But whichever you decide to use you will create a really special card for any occasion.

I have more videos done using this set and each one will show you a different way to get the look you want.

So I hope you will come back and take a look for the next one that will be with you soon.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

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 ...
