Pop up with a twist - hop along to you tube now!

Hello my, crafty friends just a quick update to announce the new content on my You Tube channel.
I have been working on he mechanism for this card, I can't claim it as my idea, I saw someone making this the hard way: score board, pencil, ruler and measuring - not my idea of fun.  So I decided to create a digital version this is how the card came out:

Front

Inside

I think that the card came out cute and you can learn how to create your own file over on You Tube HERE.

I show you why the snap to grid function is useful and how to create a multi-font greeting for your card.

Alternatively, you can retrieve the file for free in SVG format here: and FCM format here: 

Please do not sell my files as bundles or individually but feel free to make projects with them, please tell your friends where they can find me, on my blog and on You Tube.

See you all soon and happy crafting. xx

My visit to the beach Wednesday 29th May 2019

Well crafty friends and my family, as you know I have been struggling with the tree pollen causing my hay fever to flare up, I decided that a trip to the beach was in order.
So off we went to Blackpool for a couple of hours.
We took Bella down to St Annes beach so that she could have a good run.  The sea air did me a power of good and I felt so much better after.

We then went back into Blackpool and had small fish and chips and then went for an ice cream sundae at the famous Notariannis ice cream parlour.  See pictures today and yesterday

It was a highly enjoyable if somewhat calorific day, I slept very well that night.

Pop up box card folds flat

Hi crafty friends as promised here is the how to create the box file.  I had a lot of fun with this one and my mind is racing how it can be adapted - eg flower vase aperture with flowers etc.

Peekaboo assembly

I have uploaded the video on how to put the peekaboo card together to my You Tube channel, which  you can find here.

I'm sorry that the card goes off camera a bit fast times.  I was setting the camera up on my own so couldn't really see it clearly.  I have hopefully sorted that out for subsequent videos

I hope that you enjoy making the card, remember the files are available to download free on the previous post.

Peekaboo card

Hi my crafty friends I have been working on this file for you all today.
Its nothing new and indeed can be achieved with a paper trimmer and a scoring board, but the wind part is hard to line up and get everything to work perfectly.
A friend of mine recently reminded me of this card without the aid of a Scan n Cut,  this is when o decide there had to be and easier way.
Once you have mastered the technique you can make the file any size and with any style of aperture that you choose.
Here is what the card look like from the front:

The FCM file needed to create the card can be found here:  and the SVG file can be found here:

Top down letters -

Hi lovely crafters and I have just completed another how to video for you on my channel.
This is similar to the word book file but instead of going across it goes down.
I had a lot of fun playing with this idea.
I got my inspiration from the dies from Crafters Companion, these are for use in die cutting machines and I do own their Gemini Junior and it is a fantastic cutting machine.
I have also just ordered the foiling platform for it too, I will review this on my You Tube channel once it arrives and I have chance to play.  So for people who do not own electronic cutters but love their dies you can find the for sale here:
For us lucky people that love their cutting machine this is how the file turned out:

Once you have the basic end file then you can create any word that you choose using any alphabet and change the font to your hearts content.

You can download a free copy of the file in FCM format here: and in SVG format here:

If you would like to follow the video tutorial on how to create a similar file yourself then you can find this on My YouTube Channel here:

Hi Guys,
Sorry not been around for a while but Ive had that awful fluey cold and then we were up own the North East visiting my son and his family and they are coming here today so I'm trying to get this done before they arrive.
We had a lovely time up in Tyneside and we also looked at a couple of properties up there, as we are planning to move there as soon as we sell our home!
I have been working on a video to show you how to make a word book, so that you can follow the steps to create your own personalised books and projects.
