Alternate Stitched Dies.

 Hi Everybody,

This is a set that was released a while ago but makes a useful addition to your collection but here is a useful reminder of what they can do.

Each pack of dies has approximately 16/ 18 in it and so there is a lot of variation that you can create with your die cuts. 

The card to the right has used the squares  to create a different kind of look to the shaker element.

I have added small seed beads to the shaker box but just enough to hear them rattle when the card is shaken. 

Too many and you wouldn't get the same effect.

Here is the link to the video .... Alternate Stitched Squares

For this card I have used the circles and the squares together and I have splattered the front with white paint.

The flower has also been created using just the circle dies and the effects is very pretty.

I will be doing this again for other flowers as they can be as larges or as small as you want to make them .

Here is the link to this video ...Circles & Squares

I hope you enjoy them both.

More tomorrow ...

Butterfly Blossoms

Hi Everybody,

I hope you have had a good Bank Holiday weekend despite the poor weather. 

Ruby and I went for a walk this morning and got wet as it started with that very fine drizzle that soaks you before you know where you are.

I wanted to share some more cards from the Butterfly Blossoms Paper Pack as this is such a gorgeous collection.

This card is an Easel card and it was so easy to do using the pre cut shapes.

 I added a video on this collection awhile ago and here is the link again in case you missed it ...

Butterfly Blossoms Paper Pack

This card has been created with the silver foiled butterfly in the paper pack laid over the dark pink one before adding it to the paper background

The sentiment is also from the pack and that has been raised on foam pads.

It is a 5x7 card with the fold at the top and I have layered it with some of the card also from the paper pack.

This pack can be adapted to any size card you are making, and very easily with the pre-cut shapes, you can create a different look for your designs

I have another paper pack coming out soon that is gorgeous and will also make some beautiful cards for you very easily. 

So keep an eye out for that one and I will be sure to show you some of the makes from the pack nearer the time.

More tomorrow ...

Lower Case Alphas

Hi Everybody,

Always a useful addition to your crafting goodies and I had added quite a few videos using both the upper and lower case alphabets from Card Making Magic.

There are several different fonts to choose from in the collections but here I am featuring the Lower Case set that matches beautifully with the original Upper Case.

You can add any name you need to your projects if you have an alphabet.

I have added this video to the Playlist on YouTube so I hope you enjoy watching this short one.

You will find other ideas in the playlist that you may like to try and they are a lot of fun to work with.

And if you can't add the letters in a straight line ... then add them wonky to start and that way nobody will know any different.
