Floral Tag Card
Another way to use up you left over bits and pieces is to create tags and banners to add to your designs. Cover them with a lovely easy ink technique and you will have originals that no one else will have.

Wonderful it’s good to have you here Cxx

Christina, , thanks for the reminder about aperture dies in our stash. When I first discovered what an apature die was, I was very happy, as it lends to more elegance and beauty for paper crafting. Your cards turned out beautifully.
Thank you for your lovely comment Cxx

This looks like fun!
I’ve used this technique a lot but it’s been a while. Thanks for the reminder 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice great ideas we seem to forget what we have is our stock . Thank you 😊🇨🇦
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Christina this is quite a good idea with marbles xx
Dear Christina, will the book punch be available to buy again? Unfortunately I didn't get it. I bought all the punches for it. In the different sets. Only the book punch is missing.
I don't have any punches in any of my collections so I am sorry but I don't know what you are referring too
Really like this technique, & it's new to me, think the younger grandchildren would enjoy this, looks fun, especially as you never know how it will turn out. Thank u Christina ♡
Have fun!
😁👍🏻🥰
Hi Christine, is the link for the mylar sheets for stencil making below the video correct ? As I ordered the item and was sent tracing paper but it said mylar sheets. Yours seems to be plastic a lot thicker than tracing paper.
I have tried the link under the video and it does go to the Mylar sheets. Send the stuff that they have sent you back to them and re order the Mylar. It is a thicker plastic and will last a long time as stencils…… good luck Cxx
What fun and never thought to use stencil blanks, but then sometimes I don’t really think things through. 😂😂😂😂 Tfs this fun ❤😊
Another fabulous idea thank you Christine! xx
