Clever Cuts Background

 Hi Everybody,

This 6x6 Offset background is a lovely way to add decoration to your designs. You could use the die to cut the pattern into the card and so make it a see through one to ad the Trailing flowers too.

Here I have just used it as a complete background and added some designer paper to the back to peep through the Trellis.

You could colour the flowers any way you wished with your favourite medium and vary the colours to suit your creation. 

The Alphabet is also new and so pretty when the flowers that twine though it are coloured. 

It will ad any name you wish to your cards and it will also mix well with the older Alphabets that have been added to the Card Making Magic Collections. The vidoe is the one that was on Facebook Live last Friday and I am adding it here in case you missed the show or the video itself.

               

I hope you enjoy the video and it is not long so hopefully you wont fall asleep !!

More tomorrow ...

Clever Cuts Collection

Hi Everybody,

I  hope you managed to catch the Facebook Live on Friday and I hope you enjoyed the new Clever Cuts Collection.

There are lots of ways in which to use this set and the new Alphabet is simply gorgeous.

 I will be adding the videos to my YouTube channel this week so if you missed the show then have no fear the videos will be here soon.

This Rosette can be used as a stand alone gift also 

Here I have used the Background die and created a wall for the flowers to trail against. 

The flowers have been coloured with alcohol markers and added with foam pads to raise them up from the wall. 

I have added white gel pen to the centres of each flower to highlight the stamens and that just gives a little life to them.

I have a lot more playing to do with this set and I will show you the results as they are done.

Friday Freebie - Countdown to Christmas

 Hi Everybody,

It is never too early for some people to start their Christmas card making.

For me I am always on the last minute with my personal making as I spend a lot of the year making cards and projects for the Christmas in July feature that we do at Craft Stash.

But with this Papercraft Essentials kit everything is there for you, because in this pack you will get 30 die cut toppers, 147 printed toppers,  eleven 8x8 patterned papers and 25 foiled numbers.

And as an added extra there are also 10 foiled sentiment stickers to complete the look.
They will all make an 8x8card for you if that is a size that you like to make, if not you can always cut them down to suit the size you prefer.

So would you like this kit to help you get started? Then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

Be sure to come back and check if your name is shown as the winner in a blog post over the weekend.

Please join me today at 12.30 on Craft Stash Facebook Live for the launch of some really pretty dies called Clever Cuts and the chance to win some super prizes

Free Embossing Folder

 Hi Everybody,

Would you like to have a free embossing folder ?

            Then you can choose from five when you buy the Half Scallop Bundle from Craft Stash.

Embossing folders will give you such a pretty backdrop for any of you projects and they help to finish the card rather than leaving a plain blank space.

I use them a lot in my card making and there is a lot that you can do with folders once you have them 

These are the five choices that are available to you with your purchase and all you need to do is add the code CMMEF at the checkout with your choice and it will be added to your basket automatically.

I have added the links below to include the Craft Stash US website to make it easier for my  US readers.
