From Our House ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is created with a die that I have wanted since it was first introduced a while ago from Katie Skilton. 

This is the Macrame Detail Die Set and I love it.
It is unusual and you can decorate this any way you wish.

I chose to add Poinsettias to mine as a Christmas Card and I have added glitter to the centre of the flowers, and a Large pearl to the top.

There is another set that I liked as well and that was the Homespun Hoop Die Set.

There is a special offer going on at Craft Stash so I decided to get both die sets, and with my VIP discount I got the two for the original price of one. 

I will be adding more cards made with these die sets and I will be sure to add them here when I do. 

More tomorrow ..

Glitter Snowflakes

Hi Everybody,

This was a Christmas Card I made a long time ago using glitter card and snowflake dies and I thought the result was lovely.

It is just an idea that you may have tried for yourself using up any of the snowflakes that you have in your crafting stash. 

It looks amazing with any size snowflakes and at the time that I made this I added a video to show you what I had done.

So as a refresher I am adding it again here for any new people that come to my blog in the hope that you will give it a try.

        

It is such a pretty effect and it can be used for other occasions like winter birthdays also.

Friday Freebie - Snowflake Sparkle

 Hi Everybody,

These beautiful snowflakes can adorn any of your Christmas projects for years to come.

The smaller set has four stamps with matching dies from Pink Fresh Studios,  and the larger set has snowflake stamps and sentiments.

They would create lovely backgrounds for your cards or you could die cut the smaller ones and add them separately to the design .

The magazine is sure to give you sone ideas that you may like to try and it will be a really good read anyway. Just grab a cuppa and relax.

Is this something that you think you would like in your own personal stash??

Then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME

From those comments one name will be chosen at random and announced on the blog so be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.

As an added extra gift there will be a handmade Pokey Tool from me, added to the pack and I hope you enjoy using it when ever you craft

Good Luck everybody

Designer Card Front - Half Scallop

Hi Everybody,

This die set is also part if the Designer Card front Collection and it will help you to make a really pretty card.

In the links below I have included all the A5 dies that are made to match these Designer Card Front Die Sets

This is just one idea and this is the Half Scallop, you will find videos on my YouTube Chanel in the Playlist section for Designer Card Fronts

The boxes are made from the Complete Card and Box Dies set and will add the perfect finishing touch to any of your creations.

The one to the left is using the  Teardrop Shape and this was a video I added not that long ago.

So there you have two different cards that are just as pretty as each other, an maybe they will inspire you to try one of these die sets for your self. 

Neither video is too long and I hope you will enjoy them as you relax with your favourite beverage.

All of these dies will make larger cards for you  and so if you prefer the A5 sized cards then these dies will be right up your street.

But although they create larger cards you can also cut them down to make them smaller or even DL or Slimline.

More tomorrow ...
