I've made a domed acetate card and after I had made this I recorded a short video showing how to make a domed card which folds flat for postage. This will be posted on my YouTube channel on Friday at 5.00pm so if you subscribe to my channel and hit the notification bell you'll catch this one then :)
I have used Slimline Border dies from Scrapbook.com on top of the acetate

I love nature and anything that I can
make which reflects some nature in it is definitely a winner in my books!
This is the die set and it obviously
can be used to make cards, decorate scrapbook pages, add a touch of the garden
to memory books etc but today I’m showing you how to use the dies to make a
plant gift wrap!
You can see how to make a gift bag and card from the same die set in my video
(Pillow Mint Pea
Pod, Sweet Blossom, Violet Breeze and Spring Lilac)
Let’s Get started!
1. Die cut a Gleaming Lilac ornate
circle and an Arctic Blue inner circle.
2. Use both the plain circle and the
patterned dies to cut out the white shape above.
3. Use the alcohol markers to colour
the foliage and flowers.
4. Glue the layers together. Die cut
a cloud and glue to the sky.
5. Die cut the wording from white
card and colour the foliage and flowers. Glue to the centre of the circle.
6. Slightly shape the circle with a
bone folder (or gently shape around a jam jar etc)
7. Cut 2 pieces of Gleaming Lilac
card measuring 4cm x 22cm and 2 pieces of ribbon measuring 25cm. Shape the card
with a bone folder.
8. Attach the lengths of ribbon with
glue and then add double sided tape on top and all around the edges of one
piece of card.
9. Attach the 2nd piece of
card on top.
10. Glue the circle panel to the
centre of the card strips and leave to dry.
Finally, add some crystal drops to
the fence and some sequins to the sky. Die cut 2 white patterned butterflies
and glue onto 2 blue plain butterflies. Glue one to each side of the lilac
strip.
11. Wrap around your plant pot
12. Tie at the back.
I thought I’d share one last
photo….when I took the plant outside to take a photo a little ladybird (the
first one I’ve seen this year!) appeared from the periwinkle plant and climbed
onto my plant pot for an impromptu photo shoot!
Over the past few days I've been tidying our little arbour and getting it ready for some summer planting. It's another well loved corner of our garden and we have spent many, many hours over the last years sitting here enjoying the flowers and scents all around us.
You can see my video here
As I explain in the video, this is a very special little corner as I have worked hard to make it as calm and inviting as possible for my husband who has been ill.
We do love a cuppa here :)
Several years ago, David made a little stump table and I turned it into a fairy house a couple of years ago.
You can see how I did that in my video here -
You can see my previous video of getting the garden ready for Spring/ Summer here
Thanks very much for watching :)

You can see how to make the boxes in my video here
In this video I show you how to use the dies as intended and also how to make a completely different little box measuring approx 9cm x5.5cm x 6.75cm. You can also use some of the dies to decorate cards and there are 2 which would make a beautiful book mark :)
This is where you can buy the kit (affiliate links)
I've just posted a video on my YT channel showing how to make the Terrific Typewriter with a working roller!. It's a gorgeous die set and I am so pleased with how it turned out :)
I've covered every little piece of the construction but don't forget that if you want to make a quicker project you can still make this beautiful typewriter without the roller and simply adhere the knobs to each side :)
Hello friend :) This is the new Designer's Choice die set from Tonic Studios and it's called "Hello Friend" (How did you guess!)
You can see my video here
I have used some of the dies to make 3 completely different cards and if you keep an eye on my channel you'll soon see another video where I make another completely different cards with the same die set!
These are my affiliate links to where you can buy this versatile set
In the first card, I have layered up die cuts and in the second card I used one of the dies to make a stencil which I then used Clear Mark ink on and heat embossed. I used one die 4 times to create a pattern for the 3rd card.
Please do tell me which is your favourite and if you like the colours I used this time :)
