6x6 Paper Pack

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using a paper pack that I have had in my craft room for absolute years. 

I have used some of it but I still have quite a bit left over and so that is why I made the card.

I don't remember exactly where it is from but I think it is a Daisy Mae paper pack.

 I have teamed it with white, parchment and silver card in the shapes of leaves and flowers, with the silver heart added to the front.

I have used one of my Card Making Magic Decorative Corners dies to create the panel for the front.

The flowers dies are from the Tall Flowers die set that was brought out a long time ago now, and they are cut in silver.

The finished card is an A6 and will fit into a standard envelope.

You could add any sentiment you needed to the front of this creation and it would suit any time of year.

More Fractured Cards.

 Hi Everybody,

Today I have more ideas on the Fractured Card design thar I featured last week.

This video dress up the cards a little bitt more and the one shown is my favourite.

I used some paper using Distress Oxides and gold splattering for this one and I think it kooks really pretty against the black strips.

Here is the video link and if you click it you will open a new window for you to view it.

More Fractured Card Ideas

I am trying really hard to increase my following on YouTube and any help you can give me by watching the videos on there will be a big help.

You may need to watch the adverts but they are not long and it all shows up in the YouTube algorithms that are applied. It helps YT to know that you enjoy the videos and they then support me by recommending my videos to other like minded people.

Fractured card

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card used to be known by another name, years ago, but I cannot remember what it was. 

Today it is called the Fractured Card Technique and so that is  the name I have used to describe it.

I have a video on YouTube that will show you how I made this  one and if you would click this link it will take you straight to the channel.

Clicking the link will open a new window for you to view the video but don't forget to come back here when you are done.

And please leave me a comment, like and subscribe to my YouTube channel while you are there.

I have another video coming that will show you even more ideas with this style of card and I hope you will  give it a try.

It is not hard to do and you can dress it up anyway you wish to suit you and your recipient,  or the occasion.
