Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Plaited With Love Collection - 5x7 + Cirlces

Hi Everybody,

Today I want to share with you the new Plaited with Love Collection and this is 5x7 teamed with the Circles die set to create this really pretty design that would suit any occasion with a change of sentiment.

The video will show you how I got this look and I really enjoyed playing with all this collection. 

The stencils create beautiful backgrounds with inks or water colours, and all the dies will mix and match with each other giving you endless design possibilities.

For this card I have used Mulberry flowers and tucked in lots of greenery around the display.

I think the end result is beautiful and I would be more than happy to get a card like this.                     

                      

I will be adding more vidoes using this new collection so I hope you will pop along and view them. Please consider subscribing to my YouTube Channel and don't forget to leave me a comment both here and on YouTube.

Another request I have is to please allow the adverts to run as this is the way the channel makes a small amount of income. They are not long but advertisers pay for that space on my videos.

More tomorrow ...

Plaited With Love - A5 + Stencil + Circles

Hi Everybody,

This new collection is so much fun to play with and it can be adapted to any size card you wish to make.

For this card I have used the stencil as it really makes the backgrounds stand out, and I should make much more of the stencils that I have.

The flowers are silk and I have had them for a long time but the leaves and greenery are cut from a die set that is fast becoming a favourite.

The video will show you how I got this look and I have more to be added over the next week or so. I hope you enjoy.


 

                  

All these dies can be used separately or can be mixed and matched with each other or any other dies that you have from previous collections.

A5 Nested Die Set

Hi Everybody,

Do you remember these boxes? All created from the A5 Nesting dies.

I can't believe it, but this video is now three years old and I thought I would add it again here as a reminder of what this set can do.

And they do work well with the A5 Card & Box Die Set giving you even more variation to the size of the boxes and cards you make.

This is also a reminder to dig out your older dies and put them to good use again, and get more for your money with each use. 


Don't forget to join me tomorrow on Craft Stash Facebook Live, or their YouTube Channel, at 12.30 for some fun time with Lou and me.

More tomorrow ...
