Card Making Magic - Rainbow Card

Hi Everybody,

This bright and cheerful card is ideal for any age group male of female and can be used for lots of occasions at the same time

It is really easy to make and the addition of a little glitter makes it sparkle so much more.

The video will show you how I made this card and its matching box from the 5x7 Card & Box Die Set.

But the same idea could be made with any of the Box sets ... 6x6 or the A2

And whichever size you use you will be sure to have a lovely card that you can be happy to send.

And because the card is flat enough it will even fit into an Envelope that you can make from the same box dies

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Making the Pizza Box ...without the Pizza !!

Hi Everybody,

So today we are going to use any of the Card Making Magic Box Dies that you have and we are going to create a different style for the box.

Yesterday I added the Envelope Style that is useful for flatter cards but this one can have cards or other items added to it as an alternative style and could be great for items that you sell

There are also two other ways to make the box and that video was added when the dies where first released.  But well worth a look if you are new to the concept of making your own boxes 

This has to be good value to be able to create three styles for the box and an envelope too.

And that should cover most of the things that you would need for your cardmaking

Creating an Envelope with your Box Dies

Hi Everybody,

Whichever size of box die you have from the 

Card Making Magic Collection you will be able to make three different styles of box and an envelope.

I added a video when the dies where first launched to show you the 

Two Ways To Make Your Boxes

Tomorrow I am adding the video that will show you how to make the Pizza Box but today we are focusing on the envelope

The video is not long because this is so easy to do and gives you another way to use the dies for cards that don't  have a lot of depth to them.

The more ways you can use your dies the better value they are and it is always so much fun playing and trying to come up with new ideas with anything from my collection Card Making Magic which is available at Craft Stash

More tomorrow
