You may remember that I gave you a little look at the new Spring Meadow Trend from Tonic 2 weeks ago. I only had the card at that stage so now I have the full Trend and I'm showing you everything in it today :)
If you've already seen the contents you can skip right on to 9 mins 53 secs to see how I use lots of different products from it to make 2 different cards.
This gives you lots of scope for using all the dies and stamp sets which you might already have!
You can see my video here -
(and scroll on down to see LOTS of photos!
In this video I have used the following (affiliate links)
This is another card in my Card Shapes Playlist where I show you some ideas of how to change the look of an ordinary card to give it a little "something extra". This fold actually came about by accident a couple of years ago as I was preparing the pieces for a demo card and cut it in half by mistake! The original card was a 5x7 blank but this time I've made a 6x6 card. You can use any dies, papers, stamps etc that you have and don't need anything special at all. I hope you enjoy this and please help me to grow my channel by leaving a little comment in the section below this description.
As I said you can use whatever you like but if you're interested, I have used the Sweet Pea digi image - https://ruthhamiltondesign.com/produc...
from my website "Ruth Hamilton Design" - https://ruthhamiltondesign.com/ and coloured it with alcohol markers.
Thanks so much for looking :) If you enjoy the video please don't forget to "like" it and subscribe to my channel :)
I've just posted a video showing how to make an envelope album. I'm sure lots of you have plenty of spare envelopes!
You don't need any special dies, stamps etc, just use whatever you already have to decorate. I've used envelopes from 5x7 cards for this one but I'll be back at another stage with different sizes and shapes
This is my Guest DT card for the Allsorts Challenge Blog where the challenge this week is "Birthday"
I've made a DL card using the Hydrangea digi image from my website - Ruth Hamilton Design, printed it out 3 times and coloured it with alcohol markers. Then I overlapped them and glued them to my card and die cut. I've made a lot of pink cards lately and I'm beginning ti like it! lol
You can, of course, use the kit to
make cards and you can see how I made the two beautiful cards below in my video
here –
These are the contents of the kit
To decorate the front and back covers
of your A5 notebook you will need the dies and papers from the kit along with Nuvo
Deluxe Adhesive and some Craft Perfect Jute Twine.
Let's Get Started!
1. Cut 2 pieces of patterned paper
measuring 13.5cm x 21cm.
NB. I highly recommend not gluing these
to your notebook until you have completely decorated them and are happy with
them!
