Octagon Box - Deal of the Day ...

 Hi Everybody,

Craft Stash are doing a special offer on the Octagon Box that was brought out earlier. This creates beautiful shaped boxes for you and there is also a die set that will create a card to use separately or can be fitted inside the box.

I also did a video that will show you how I made a taller version of the box that will take many different items that you may like to add.  I adapted mine to include pull out shelves and I added chocolates to them as a really special gift.

                   

The offer is for today only and so now is the chance to grab this offer while you can ...

Beautiful Baubles Cards

 Hi Everybody,

Todays video features three cards that are all different sizes. It is the video that was shown on Facebook Live and I am adding it here in case you missed the show.

The card shown has baubles that have been stencilled, cut out with the dies, and added onto the front of it with foam pads, but the paper pack is a dream if colouring is not your things.

Just use the dies to cut the Baubles out and add them how you would like to your projects. Other videos will show you how they have been jazzed up to a more glitzy look.

Creating the baubles in different colours can ring in the changes too, and if you flip the round ones upside down they make fantastic balloons for a birthday theme.

 

There is a lot that can be done to alter the look of your Beautiful Baubles all you need to do is play with them and see what you can come with.

Mixing things up !!

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card has used some of the Creative Cuts from Sam Calcott to make the spine for this card and the result is very pretty.

I have used the paper from the pack to die cut the baubles and make the background. The spine portion has been lined with another colour from the pack and glued together.

The baubles have been added with foam pads to give varying heights and they have been decorated with gemstones.

The sentiment is also from the paper pack and so it all came together really easily without a lot of work from me.

I like it when dies from other brands play nicely together as this expands your own repertoire no end with what you can do when creating your projects. Take a look at what you already have and see what works with each other.

Below I have added the links to the products I have used and they are all available from Craft Stash. 
They are all affiliate links which means that if you purchase from those links I will receive a small commission that will not add any extra cost to you, but helps me enormously.   Thank you ...

Tree Decorations

Hi Everybody,

When I did the Christmas in July video for Craft Stash it was very well received but I added the gold embossed baubles to a card front.

But for this idea I decided to turn them into tree decorations and use gold thread to hang them from the branches.

They would look lovely on a small tree as they are not too big, and they are easy to make at the same time.

This is the video that was shown on Facebook Live so if you missed that show then here is the opportunity for you to see it and maybe give it a try for your self.

The work is mostly done for you using the paper pack and the dies, but additional decoration can be added with the stamps and the stencils too. 

Vary the look by using silver embossing powder or coloured powder to make your baubles look really individual. I have also added gemstones and pearls to some of mine.

The video is not too long just long enough for your to enjoy a cuppa and relax for a while and I hope you enjoy watching it.

Friday Freebie Winner

 Hi Everybody,

This is a lovely day and Ruby and I are going to go walking later. I like it better once it has cooled down some and it is much better for Ruby too.  I have now started to leave the doors to the back of the house open so that Ella can wander outside too and she loves to sit in the sun under the Buddleia tree. 

The draw for the prize has been done and the name today is ...
