A6 Collection - Cards, Box & Envelopes

 HI Everybody,

Here is the box and it is slightly deeper than the other box sets.

But this is to to your advantage as it means that you can get six ... maybe more ... cards inside, complete with envelopes for you to give a s complete gift to someone.

These can be "Thank You" cards, teacher appreciation cards , birthday cards or anything that you enjoy giving a card for but it enables you recipient to have card on hand whenever they need to send one out.

Add some stamps and a pen in the box too and it is a complete package for a Christmas present to them.

Just make sure that you use paper and not a thick card to make your envelops or they will not fit into the box with the cards. You could pre make a stack of ordinary ones also from copy paper and keep them on hand ready to use.

Stencilled Roses

Hi Everybody,

I found this stencilled card from some time ago and I thought it was really pretty.

It also uses some of the older dies and stencils as they need to be brought out and used a lot more, and they may be some that you already have in your own collections.

If you like the large words sentiments I have on many of my cards then there is a really good deal coming on Sunday with several word sets being offered.

The large pearl flower is one that I have had in my stash for years, and I still have another one to use up so that will also be making an appearance soon.

The inks have been blended onto smooth white card and the sentiment is cut from holographic mirror card.

It is an A5 size so quite a large design and of course it will need a box to go with it. 

I am going to make a concentrated effort to use older dies much more often so as not to forget about them.

A6 Collection - Card & Envelope

 Hi Everybody,

I am amazed at how well this new A6 Collection has done. It was a size I was asked for quite a few times and as always I am happy to oblige. 

So if you bought it I hope you have fun with it and this video will show you ways to make the most of it for your designs.

You can add decoration to the envelope as you like of simply leave it plain to go in the post. The smaller size also means no extra cost when you do post it.

They are also the correct size to add to the box if your preferred. The choice with this collection is entirely up to you  and if you wanted a larger card then there is nothing to stop you adding this to a bigger base.

Text Background

Hi Everybody,

I like to add lots to my cards and the text background to this card is the perfect backdrop.

I used a stamp that was free with a magazine and I added it to some ombre paper, it has all been created with the slimline card & box die set and layered with pink.

The card is thin enough to go into an ordinary envelope, which can be made using the die set, and of course stamped with the same flowers and text if you like.

I like the soft colours in this card and it would suit any occasion, with a change of sentiment.

This card has got a textured paste background added to another inked layer.

The gold oval was a left over on my desktop and the flowers are coloured with alcohol markers and I have used foam tape underneath to raise them up a little.

This card would be perfect for Valentines Day with a change of the sentiment.

Winner

 Hi Everybody,

So here we are on a Sunday afternoon to announce the winner of Fridays Give Away. This is a fabulous pack and will certainly make some lovely cards for all year round. I am glad that I kept the offer open for an extra day as I know that some of you have not been getting the email with the Friday Freebie in it until late on Saturdays. 

At least now it gives more opportunity for people to enter the draw. And so all that is left now is to yell you who the winner is and that name this week is ....
