Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I'm featuring CTMH Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit today:

There's a metal die from CTMH Daisy Meadows Cardmaking Workshop Kit and ever since I saw it, I had this idea...to make it into a...

#1 Box

The arch on top makes for perfect handles! The stamps and flower die cuts come with the Kit. You get 4 of those, so you don't have to run 1 die a bunch of times. I embossed the sides with a floral embossing folder from my stash. You can fill it with small treats!

If you use the die as intended, the gates can open! Here are some project ideas below:

I'll have to make a card of my own soon...

Then, I had to make...

#2 Flower Box Pop- Up Card

I added die cuts from other companies + sneak peek of stamps from CTMH April Stamp of the Month - you'll get to see it tomorrow!

It can fold flat and be mailed in an A2 envelope.

French Dies {Fri}: Thank You Butterfly Die Cut Card

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Today I'm sharing a card with a partial inlaid die cut (sneak peek of new products coming soon!). My Cuttlebug machine and plates are old and sometimes it doesn't cut well, so I end up with these "happy accident" inlaid die cut panels...lol!

I got lucky the butterfly didn't cut well right in the center! I backed it with a purple patterned paper and added some more colors with alcohol-based markers. Then, I added some stamping and sentiment.

{Sun} Sweets: Slimline Birthday Card + FREE Design Space File

 Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Happy Sunday! Here's a Slimline botanical birthday card inspiration...I like sending Birthday Cards, for a handmade touch...don't know how many people keep them, but at least I get to enjoy making them! lol!

I trimmed a CTMH Artbooking Cricut overlay for the background, and colored it with watercolor paints in 3 different shades of green. Then, layered the other elements.

Circles and leaves dies cuts + pp (from my stash), CTMH sentiment stamp (retired),  Cherry Blossoms stamp set, foam tape and alcohol-based marker.

This card was inspired by Atlantic Hearts Sketch #410 Sketch:
