We're back! Craft & Chat Scottish Tartan Cards: Minibookz is now filmed, edited and uploaded to craftyalice's channel on YouTube - hope you enjoy it, we had fun making it!
We used the Minibookz board, which has six designs on it, to make a little bookatrix-type card. It uses five layers of card, embossed on the board, cut out, peel-offs added, stuck together at the spine with added floral decoration and greeting. In this case we used a tartan theme. There was another one made in cream and gold, but it seemed to miss being photographed! It might appear here later if craftywhippet photographs it...

| Ruth remembered! |
A box can be made for it and the Box Queen, aka craftywhippet, will be filmed making one to fit.
Before the Minibookz board came out we used the Framey board to make a mini- bookatrix card, you can watch that video too.

Mary says: You mentioned a Frameyboard. When would I get that? Is it something sold in the UK, and is it in metric, or does it come with inches already on it...Thanks, I love your channel, but, I do have trouble understanding what you are saying. I think sometimes it's not your speech, but maybe the to recording equipment. thanks again.
@Mary Doing a Google search for Framey brings up a link showing the Keepsake board, which was released some years ago, so I don't know if it is still available.
We mentioned the Framey for those who already had it and didn't want to buy the newer MiniBookz board as well; you would be better purchasing the newer one, Google search for a stockist.
There are no measurements on the boards, you just follow the lines with a ball tool and produce embossed lines on card.
I put the video camera as near to us as possible but the accent probably doesn't help! Hope you still enjoy it anyway.
Hello crafty Alice can I purchase some of the beautiful sticky back trim that you line your Bookatrix cards with. I think it's make the card look so elegant. I just ordered a Bookatrix yesterday. I can't wait to make card. Please email me any details I need to place an order for some trim. My email address is jabari1@comcast.net.
Thanks Shannette
