Create-a-Card Birthday Flowers Cards

Using the New Crafters Companion Diesire Create-a-Card Die you are able to put together quick cards in no time at all.

The Birthday Flowers Die is new to the range and can be used in so many ways. These dies are great as all the hard work has been done for you.

Using it in the tradional way you can just add embellishments such as flowers to give dimension to your card and make it look really special.

This Birthday Flowers Die does look feminine however, but changing the colours and adding some male embellishments (I have add coggs) you can turn this card into a man’s card.

I have also cut the Happy Birthday words out of this die and laid them over another Create-a-Card Die to give yet another look to a card. So play around with your Create-a-Card Dies and see how many different cards you can make!

Super Quick 8×8 Mini Scrapbook

This 8×8 Mini Scrapbook is made the same way as my “Super Quick 8×8 Mini Scrapbook” but instead of using patterned papers I have used Coredinations Card stock and Crafter’s Companion 8×8 Textures Embossing Folders.

This mini uses just four 8×8 envelopes and 4 sheets of coredinations 12×12 cardstock.

By embossing the card and sand it with the Sand It Set, it gives a great affect. I have also sanded the edges of the photo mats to make it all match. I have then used the Crafters Companion Textures Stamps to add more insterest to the book.

This Mini Scrapbook is super quick to make using very few materials. You can fill it with photos ready to give away or it makes a great gift ready to be filled with photos. So think about it embossing folders are not just for cards!

Baby Memory Box

Here is a Memory Box I have made for my new niece.

The main MDF Box came from MDF Man. I have painted this with acrylic paint and add a crackle glaze to give it a textured affect.

The two small boxes are paper mache boxes and I have treated these in the same way before decorating them.

I have also added a small 6 x 6 Mini Scrapbook Album made in the same way as the Online Workshop for the Not So Mini Year Book. and a Paper Bunting Banner for her nursery.

6 x 6 Mini Using the Not So Mini Year Book Online Workshop

Here is a 6 x 6 Mini Scrapbook made using the
instructions from my Not So Mini Year Book Tutorial.
The skills you will learn from the Workshop can be adapted so you can make a variety of different mini albums using different configurations.

This time I have made it using a pack of 6 x 6 Kraft cards instead of A3 cardstock.
I have also only made it with 4 pages instead of 6.

So when buying my Online Workshops you can adapt your creative skills and use the workshop time and agin to make many different types of mini albums.
