Plaited With Love - 5x7 Card

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using my all time favourite size of card and that is the 5x7 and once again I have used the stencil to create the background.

I love this size because it is large enough to fill with beautiful flowers and embellishments but not so big it is cumbersome. And it fits into a box so well,  and makes a lovely gift. 

For this card I have used the detailed panel to cut into the card and create a see through design which looks very pretty in the hand. 

To the back you can add mirror card or acetate or even parchment if you wished and each one would give you  a different look.  

For the blue card I have used the same set of dies and turned this into an Easel Card using one of the strip dies as my stop.

I did not use the stencil on the pale blue card just the dies them selves.

They look totally different from each other by changing the colours and the way the dies have been added or used on the card.

And these cards, lacking the flowers, would also be suitable for the men in your life 

          

This is a very versatile set to have and I have more videos to add showing some great combinations to work with.

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.

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.
