Some times you just have to love technology don't you?. Well today I do because I have a new paper pack to play with. Thanks to technology docrafts have managed to bring us this stunning wood effect paper pack. If you haven't seen wood effect is massive this year!. Unusually for me I really didn't know to much about it before I purchased it but I struggle with men's card and I was hoping that this would help. So I made you a quick video of what you get. Sadly one sheet was printed the wrong way around. But it's still a great set and a little surprising. I couldn't wait to make a card with this. As far as paper packs go I think this one is great to work with other sets you already have rather than completely on its own. That's not to say it cant be used on its own it certainly can but its a great edition to your craft supplies. I used the Wilson wood collection to help me make this card. I used a sheet of the wood vellum which is lovely and then stuck this lovely embellishment over the top. I added a bow from the wood collection and the love circle. You probably already know I am a massive docrafts fan. Incase you didn't know they have a great web site full of ideas. You can follow me on the inspiration use the link bellow. I hope you found this post helpful I promise to bring you some more masculine cards with this set soon but for now have a crafty week. xxx

![]() Hello it's boxes today. What you can see above is believe it or not a box die!. Well half a box. I was trailing through eBay when I came across some really cheap dies. Box dies from just £2.50. ok so they are from China and you have to wait up to a month but I had to try one. Well it arrived and it's incredibly solid with good embossing lines. You simply cut two pieces of card or paper with it and fold all the creases and stick together. I can't fault this die it does exactly what it is supposed to do and it cuts equally well into card and paper. I made two boxes. One with gold card and I cut some small pieces of Willson wood paper and then stuck them on and the other I actually cut some thick green card then cut the box again in Willson wood paper and stuck it exactly over the card using tacky glue so I could line it up. I could just use paper but I wanted my box to be sturdy. If your box has windows and you didn't want the. Just cover them over using a sentiment. A word of warning whilst these dies on eBay seam a bargain lots of them cost a few pounds but actually you usually buy a set for the price of a few of these cheaper dies so unless you only want one it's probably not that much of a bargain.
So despite having my lovely new Willson wood Collection that I have only just opened I saw a fab offer on something new plus a voucher ment I couldn't resist a new purchase so hopefully it will have arrived in time for next weeks paper craft blog. As always thanks for reading xxx |
