New Mini Book Card

Hi Crafters

I have recently recieved a new set of dies that make 3D mini books
The dies have 6 sizes for page layers plus a couple of tags and even 2 dies that cut neat little paper clips so really cute touches plus 4 ultra mini page dies if you wanted to make a real mini book about 3cm x 2.5cm.

Here are some of the cards I made 



 
Now I have to work out a box for them so I can sell them at fayres etc

Another Big Box

Hi Crafters 

All this lovely snow has meant time to craft as we cannot get out easily.

I caught a glimpse of Anna Griffins Blog and she was talking about March being Craft Month. That got me thinking about my Anna Griffin products which I have now sorted into one store box. I got the box out and decided to try some of the items I have, many go back to the QVC days, but some are more recent Ebay buys (Anna Griffin no longer retailing in the UK).

The first make was one of my big boxes as it lent itself well to the lovely papers and card stash I had in the box. I used all Anna Griffin products including the tag in the front (though not the ribbons), which is one of her accents, along with more accents and a sticker on the lid.

I was really pleased with this pretty box that measures 5.5" wide and 5.5" deep x 8.5" high. 

I am particularly pleased with this item as the box is my own design

Tonic Dies Haul

Hi Crafters 

I said I would give an update when the Tonic dies arrived from CraftyDevils and here it is.


So far I have used the flower set on the left hand side and the lovely tag die in the centre
This stash retailed at £132 and cost me £36 so I am very happy with my buys

The top left hand die is a stencil and matching die set, then there is a pretty arched window, the tag die, a stamp with multi-words in  a panel then a really lovely sunflower background die.
Along the bottom we have the flower set, dragonfly, butterfly and lovely panel die which will work well on edges, or filling in pop up boxes and gift boxes, and then a set of sew dies. 
The sew dies cut out the flower panel with small sewing holes around the edge to add stitches. Never done any of that before but may give it a try.
