Pre Loved Items ...

Hi Everybody,

Not all crafters have a die cutting machine and dies and many crafters don't want one. But they do like to add the pretty shapes to their cards that make them stand out from the crowd.  If this is you and you are new to crafting then maybe you are looking for another way to get those shapes ... and this could be the answer.

These are embossing boards that you lay your card onto and then by running a stylus into the channels  on the board you can create the pattern on your card. Once you have cut it out you layer the shapes onto your base card for a really pretty effect

You don't need a light box and it is another way to get pretty shapes and patterns into the card if you don't have a die cutting machine and dies.

I have several Glitter Girls Embossing broads that are looking for somewhere new to live and they are complete with an ideas book for you to read.



This one is Celebration and the Ideas Book shows the steps you need to take to re create the look for your self.

The Majestic board can create some lovely flowers for you and beautiful shapes to add them to as the focal point for your cards.

There are Scalloped Ovals and a scalloped border along with a pretty bow to add to the top of the oval frame and the Ideas Book will show you more
The Ultimate  has some lovely candles and Christmas baubles along with delicate corners to make your cards look different

There are mats for to layer up or even create the whole base card shape from them.

You will never be short of ideas with the Ideas Book that is with the board as it is full of things for you to create

Elegance Fantasy  can create a lovely butterfly shaped card and decorate the wings any way you wish

There are borders and petals and on the other side there is a really large fan that would make a beautiful wedding card.

The  Ideas book  will show you even more that you can do with this one

This one is the Bookatrix and the Ideas Book will give you lots of ways to dress up this card.

It is the first one I bought and I have used it many many times with beautiful results.


Sold


And this board Dress To Impress comes with the DVD and it will create the most fantastic characters for you.

You choose the character  you want as they appear on the catwalk,  and the clothes you want him/her to wear and then print it off.

Then with the board you create the outfit and add it to your character and there are many  cute ones to choose from.

Children will love this and they can choose everything for the clothing them selves, as well as the texture of the animals fur.

Each of these boards,  complete with the book or DVD  is  £12.00 + P&P 
(The cost will depend on where you live and I have just sent one of these boards to Australia and the cost of postage was £10.75)

Please email me christina@card-making-magic.com if there is something that you are interested in.

But I only have one of each so first come first served.

Once you have emailed me I will invoice you through PayPal and the board will be on its way to you once payment has cleared.

More tomorrow ...

Clean Craft Room ...

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday was Formula One Day and Griff was glued to the telly, so I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to have a clear out in my craft room.  You would be amazed at the the things I came across up here and now that I have banished some to the trash can there is more room.

But I have several items that are excellent and I will be offering them at a good price as pre loved crafting goodies. I only have one of each item though so it's first come first served.

Today I am offering for sale some of the Glitter Girls embossing boards.  Some are the boards ... others have the book that tells you how to make the cards pictured and one has the DVD that creates the characters to fit the clothes on the board.


The first one is called  Framey  and this will help you to create frames and apertures on dark card as well as light.

You can create mats to layer onto your base and there are borders as well as a star that can be added once cut out.

The instruction sheet is with the board
This one is called Illusion and this one will help you to make boxes for your cards.

There are letters and numbers on one side so that you can monogram your projects. And there is a scroll that you can add the monograms too if you wish.

Add the bow to make the card extra pretty.  And this also comes with the instruction sheet.

Here we have Celebrations and on this board there are Champagne flutes and several borders for you to create.

There are entwined hearts with scalloped edges and  two horseshoes... and a really large centrepiece that can be embossed and layered onto your card base with places for you to add pearls or gemstones if you wish.

 This is the board called  Embellisher 

With this one you can create beautiful Ovals and Hearts that you can add flowers too as a centrepiece for your cards.

Or create an aperture, borders and a Christmas tree and the instruction leaflet will give you some extra ideas

These are an excellent way to start if you are new to cardmaking as they are ready to use straight away ... and a perfect alternative to die cutting.

You don't need anything extra other that a stylus and a craft knife to get busy making those lovely shapes to add to your designs.

All the boards are cellophane wrapped and are offered to you for £7.50 each + P&P  and that depends on where you live   (I would estimate about £3.50 for UK)

If there is one of these that you would like then please email me christina@card-making-magic.com  and the board will go to the first one.  I will then invoice you and once the payment is received the board will be on it's way to you.

Tomorrow is Tuesday Tutorial and so the next sale will be Wednesday when I will be showing you the boards that are for sale complete with the booklets .

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friendship Card in Pink

Hi Everybody,

If you took part in the Sale over Sunday and Monday then ... Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, I am really glad that it went down so well. I hope that you got the dies that you wanted.  I offered them at a very fair price and I really hope you enjoy them as much as I did


This is a card my daughter asked me to make

She wanted four cards for her friends who have birthdays coming up in the next few weeks

This was her way of showing them how much she cares for them and appreciates their friendship

So I set too and made the cards complete with matching boxes and over the next few days she has given me her permission to show them to you.

They are all created in the  Hinged Style  which is truly my favorite way to make

They all have flowers, ribbons and pearls on them and they all have a Hatpin added too

They are all 5x7 cards and each one has a box

This is the first one in a pretty shade of pink and for this I have used 5x7 Detailed Scallops

I hand cut a smaller central patterned panel and on top of this I added Classic Scalloped Ovals

The sentiment has been written by PC onto Classic Ovals  and added with foam tape to raise it up

And here is a sneaky peak of the boxes that hold the other cards and I will show you the delights inside them

And please don't forget that there is a Birthday Give Away  open and if you would like to win the Goodies on offer then you need to become a follower and leave me a comment  and add your name to the list

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Baby Boy Card

In all the mess that was my craft room yesterday I managed to produce this very pretty "Bookatrix"  Card.

This is using one of the Embossing boards from the Glitter Girls  and is one of many that they have created.

I have added in some very pretty silver mesh to one of the layers and I bought the Teddy Bear from the craft show I went to earlier this year but  I can't remember who it was from.

I have added Googly eyes to the face,  a bow around the neck, and small black pearls for buttons

The beautiful Baby Ribbon has tiny baby feet on it and it  is from   The Ribbon Room 

You can find it in the  Little Ones section and it is in Pink as well as Blue.

I have used all the Book pages and layered them together with foam pads for height.

I have edged the top page with Diamante which  is from Want2Scrap

And the finished book can be added to a Card Stand  and popped inside a box to give to the recipient.


Decorate the box in the same way and it will make a very pretty "Keepsake"

Heirloom Ornament


 I love this card and it is another using the self adhesive pearls to stud the shape.

These are the 72 count  LeCreme from Want2Scrap  and the Finesse Swirls are on either side if the Heirloom Ornament  from Spellbinders.

I have used the largest die to cut an aperutre in the card and then it has  been embossed.

I have  matted it onto some striped paper ... and then layered that onto some neutral card.

The sentiment  stamp is one I have had for a long time and it is from the Glitter Girls

I have added a small organza bow to the top of the ornament and added an "A" frame to the back to make it stand.

Gosh!! ...  am I working on these Christmas Cards ....
