Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

April 13, 2025

Final Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much for all the lovely comments this week on my decision to end the Friday Freebie and for your understanding on why I had to do this. It has been running for quite some time now and there have been some lovely gifts, many with extras in the pack ….. and some even made by my own fair hand.

I am not closing down the blog and I will still be doing blog posts as much as I can though they may not be everyday as in the past.
 I am thinking that maybe I will do blog posts from Monday to Friday with the weekends free

I will try also to add a video every week probably,  on a Wednesday, so I hope you will still continue to watch and leave me a comment.

 I want to do a mini series on making flowers using things like paper and card, felt, hessian and organza and of course foamiran. Would this be something you are interested in ?? If you are leave me a note in the comments.

Now onto the winner for the last Friday Freebie and the name this week as my final winner is someone who has posted on a very regular basis throughout the week and not just on Fridays, and left me some lovely comments

Ann Topp

So if you would email me your postal address please to 
christina@card-making-magic.com
I will get this posted off to you straight away. Be sure to let me know that you have it safely and there will be some extras in the pack too that I hope you will enjoy playing with 

Your Ideas

I want to do some videos on making flowers using items like felt, hessian, organza, foamiran as well as card and paper, and I would like to know if this would be of interest to you. Please let me know in the comments.

Also if you have any dies tucked away in your stash that you haven't used for a long time and maybe forgotten about then if I have the same, or similar dies, that could be another idea for a video.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx

  9. Congrats to the winner, very well deserved win. I’d love a series on flower making using different materials. I’ll look through my collection of Dies and make some suggestions.

  10. Well done Ann on winning the Friday freebie, I would love to see blogs on making flowers as they make a lovely addition to any cards, so pleased you are continuing to post blogs for us with more tips and ideas. Love Anne Owens ❤️

  11. Morning - so glad you’re continuing your blog. I will always be interested in learning new techniques for making flowers. You can never have enough flowers! I have a few flower dies and after I’ve checked through them I will ask for suggestions. I’m sure you’ll come up with something new. You do right to phase down your posts - let’s face it we’re none of us getting any younger and there are other things in life that need attention. Enjoy your free time. Janet Boyne

  12. Well done Ann I'm sure you will love your treats. Love the idea of flowers Christina I do have all the products but then my mind goes blank, I see some made with Vellum & embossing powder that always look lovely but have not as yet conquered that particular type, probably like everyone else I have die flowers & punches so all help welcome. Im sure you will enjoy your weekend breaks away from card making.Once again thank you for all your hard work over the past years Doris Shawcross

  13. Good morning Christina, I’ve been without internet for the last week so have missed your posts. Like everyone else I completely understand why the Friday Freebies have ended ~ it’s amazing that you have been able to carry on for so long! Thanks so much for your generosity to us all over the years.
    If would love

Like everyone else I understand why you have ended the Friday Freebies, I’m amazed that you have managed to continue for so long! Thank you for all the joy and anticipation that you’ve brought to us each weekend over the years. I’m pleased that you are going to continue your blog and look forward to many more of your inspiring posts. I would be interested in some videos on flower making as I haven’t done much of this.
    Enjoy the sunshine. Hugs, Maggie Coleman.

  16. I have been blessed by one of your packages and I am so thankful for your sharing of that and your talent, I love all kinds of flowers, although since postage has gone up, dimensional flowers only go to those that I hand deliver.
