Have you been and checked the new items in the last chance sale yet?
If you want the lovely Gallery bloom items look at the individual prices for the stamps, embossing folder, embellishments etc! What a bargain! (Cheaper to buy individually than the bundle).
I just bought the Ornamental Christmas set too - didn’t buy it last year but couldn’t resist the set with the discounts right now and got the matching DSP as well.
These are a couple of my favourites but there is so much to choose from.
Any order over $30 through my store earns a sampler gift of new DSP from me and a handmade thankyou card as well.

Thankyou for all your comments on the shadow box card yesterday - I had a request to show the original Father’s Day card one I made and showed in the video. I did add a little coffee cup to the side of the chair later.
Here you go!

Today's card is a shadow box fold. Last month I was part of a team event with my Canadian Silver sister group and made this fun fold using the Waterside retreat DSP. I recreated it using more of the gorgeous DSP.

Hope you give the fun fold a try.

Just finished today’s card and video - changed my mind on layout during the video and liked it better than my original idea! I still used the chair but put it on the inside instead.
I made a double easel fold ready for a special birthday card I need next month; added an extra sentiment inside and some numbers on the front but didn’t want to give away pictures of the final card just in case.

Today's card uses the brand new rounded rectangle punch and Waterside Retreat suite.
I make this layout using many of our different punches, leaf or flower dies, DSP patterns and even embossed Cardstock. Have you made this before?

This is the last of my 12 projects featuring 12 Days of crafting Advent calendar kit - I have loved making every single one of them. What shall I do next? Make more from the kit or work on something else like one of the new suites?

Check the comments for the YouTube link for these angle cut DSP cards.

This is my project #11 using the 12 Days of Advent crafting kit which I think is now sold out in the SU store. I have been making cards using some of my favourite layouts and am enjoying seeing how the kit can be used to recreate them.
This week I need a Birthday card and matching gift card holder and am making them with the kit - today I made a side latch card which matches the Gift card holder I made on Monday.
Check my page for more pictures and the updated measurements that I used in the video (crafts by the bow).

If you don’t have the crafting kit I am using it can always be made with your own DSP, stamps and dies too.

This is my project #10 using the 12 Days of Advent crafting kit currently in the Last chance products sale. I have been making cards using some of my favourite layouts and am enjoying seeing how the kit can be used to recreate them.
This week I need a Birthday card and matching gift card holder and am making them with the kit - watch next time for the side latch card which matches.
This is a fun little gift card holder .

If you don’t have the crafting kit I am using it can always be made with your own DSP, stamps and dies too.
I hope that you enjoy it and give the layout a try with your choice of paper and embellishments. Share your gift card holder using this layout on my FB page and I will pick someone to receive a small thankyou in the mail from me.

YouTube link is in the comments as always
