6x6 Collection - Green & White Card

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using my new 6x6 Collection to create this pretty card with it's own stand and matching box

Green is not a colour I use much but I am really pleased with the way this one turned out.

For the stand I decided to add the patterned piece to the back and the front so that it would look good from any angle as the card was displayed ... and it gives more strength as well.

And both card and stand fit comfortably inside the box and make such a lovely addition as a gift.

The links are below if there is anything that you want to view

6x6 Collection - Rainbow Card


Hi Everybody,

I have been busy making cards using my new 6x6 Collection and Thank You to all of you who have bought it so far

I hope you have lots of fun making beautiful cards and I have a lot more vidoes on the way to share my ideas.

So this card is really easy to make using the Nesting Squares and Rainbow colours with Distress Oxide Inks. 



This fun effect would be a hit with children or maybe those who simply love magical rainbows

When you are adding the inks make sure that you have loads of ink on your brush/sponge or whatever you use to add it.  And add lots to your panel. The more you add the better the blend you will get. And it will look smoother as it dries.

Have fun and enjoy the video

Creative Stamping 57 - Go Wild A4 Stamp Set

Hi Everybody,

Creative Stamping goes on sale today and has a large A4 Stamp Set with it.

This would be a prefect addition to your crafty stash for any male cards you need to make and the are lots of "Punny" sentiments in the pack


Many of the featured animals need very little colouring so really its a "stamp and go" set for those who don't like colouring.

You can add as much or as little to these images  to make them truly individual and still create a lovely card

So keep a look out for it on the shelves or take out a subscription to have it delivered and to be sure of never missing your copy
