I really LOVE this Finest Vintage freebie that came with issue 27 of Die-Cutting Essentials, and I thoroughly enjoyed making the cards for the magazine using wine as the main theme, and when I did the cards for Simply Cards and Papercraft issue 166 (whose freebie coordinates) I based that on a beer theme. But as I don't drink alcohol, I thought what other cool ways could I use this set, so here is my first video, there should (hopefully) be two more videos using this freebie in a non-wine way, but for this pair of cards I did a sea theme, so the iconic ship in a bottle and a message in a bottle too, which I think worked really well :D I made these two cards this morning (as per usual I'm a bit behind lol) and from the ideas I'd jotted down I thought they would be quite quick, but turns out they took 2 hours lol but I really love them, so it's worth it :D I hope you like them too, and that this video (and the two others which should be up before the end of the month) will give you lots of other ideas of ways to use this wonderful freebie :D :D :D
P.s. I've just started an Amazon Affiliate Account, so I'm trying out the links in today's post, I think everything other than the Magazine link is for Amazon :D It means I can link to a lot more of the essential tools I always use too, which is good :D And if you click on any of the links and make a purchase whether it's for the item you clicked on, or for anything else you add to your basket after following the link, you'll be (at no extra cost to you) supporting me carrying on doing what I do with my videos as I'll earn a tiny commission for each purchase :D So thank you soooo much if you do this, and thank you to everyone who has already done so with my CraftStash and Spellbinders links too! It means so much to me!! Thank you!! Oh, and before I forget, I might have a giveaway coming up soon too :D :D :D
