Card Making Magic Oval Rainbow Card

Hi Everybody,

Today I had some fun with the new A5 Nesting Ovals and created this Rainbow Card which In think would delight children if they got one for their birthday.

Their very own Rainbow and if you added their age it would be doubly delightful.

I didn't have the right coloured card so I used my pens to get the look. I only coloured the outside edges of the card as no one will see the centres.


The little die set with sun and clouds is an old Spellbinders one that I have and I couldn't find it on their website.  But the one I have linked to would still it fit the bill but the sun is a little larger than the one I used.

I hope you enjoy the video ... it's really short so wont take up too much of your evening

More tomorrow ...

Baby Book Card

Hi Everybody,

This pretty project has been filmed to show you how I made it as a really special baby card.

I used the A5 Nesting Ovals to create the pages to my book  and they play really well with older dies from the card making magic range.

All me collections are available with Craft Stash

This project can be dresses p as much as you would like for boys or girls. And it would serve a lot of other occasions too


I used to make this kind of thing with large Spellbinders dies but they were all retired and no longer available. So I think these are an excellent choice for those who like these book type cards

Have fun with it and I promise you it is not difficult or time consuming to make.

Be Kind ....

Hi Everybody,

This is another card sample from the HOCHANDA shows and on this one I have used the Alphabet that is available with Craft Stash

They come a plain letters, as shown,  but there is also a filigree top that can be added to give the letters a Lacey look.

In the background I have used two of the Petunia Wraps and added a Nesting Oval to the top

The silver card is cut with Ornate Nesting Rectangles and the green leaves are from the Rose Flourish Set

I think this is a really pretty card and you could add any word you wanted to the top of your card with the Alphabet Set

It is the  A5 Card & Box  size so quite a large card but of course you can make the box to fit it or turn  the box  into  an envelope if you preferred. 

More tomorrow ...
