Parcels Filigree Frame

 Hi Everybody,

Slowly but surely I am trying to get back to normal and working my way though vidoes to showcase all the new dies I have brought to the market in the past few months.

The one featured here is the Parcels Filigree Frame and the video will show you how I created this card.

I have used Centura Pearl card  for the base and layers, which is something I haven't used for a long time.

I like the different coloured parcels on my card and the foliage around it., and I now have quite a few cards ready to send at Christmas. 

The video is not long but I hope you enjoy it just the same.

Baubles Filigree Frame

 Hi Everybody,

I have made a start on some Christmas Cards today and this is first one. I have stayed away from traditional colours and used pink for a change

The dies I have used are some of the new ones from the latest collection and this one is the Baubles Filigree Frame.

I have used a lot of foam tape to give depth to the card but it will still fit inside a normal sized envelope for posting.

The Merry Christmas die has been cut in glitter card using the two piece die set called Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

I have also add some of the Christmas Papers from the paper pack and they have been added to the front oval panel and also the inside.

For the inside I have stamped one of the verses from the Festive Frames Collection Special Verses Stamp Set 1

Then matted and layered it using the die set again.

The die cuts have been coloured with alcohol markers and I am quite happy with the result.

 Hi Everybody,

I hope you are all well and staying safe in these very strange times. I wonder what Christmas will be like this year if we can’t meet up with family and friends. It’s not that far away either and we can’t make any plans yet in case the lockdown is not lifted by then. 

I feel really sorry for people who have no pay or jobs and young children to cope with. It must be so hard for them with a very uncertain future.

On a lighter note I have now done the draw for yesterday’s Nautical Theme pack and the name this week

 Hi Everybody,

What a week this has been .... not only do my legs and my hips not work as they should but to top it all on Monday my TV stopped functioning correctly too. Then Tuesday Sky locked me out of my Blog and I couldn’t  access it at all and then Wednesday my phone had a wobbler too.

Now have you ever tired to get hold of Sky ??  It’s a nightmare believe me and you spend most of the time going round in circles and the rest of it on hold. They must be the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.

Eventually I got to speak to some one. But I had to spend almost three hours on the phone to Sky to try and sort out my problem and although they rang me they charged me £50 for the call.  

The outcome of all this is that I had to have a new aerial for the TV, my blog got sorted ... at a cost,  and my phone is very sick so I had to have a new one. Boy am I glad this week is done with.

Still the draw for the prize from Friday has been done and the winner this week is

Debbie Chantry

Another Rose Card ...

 Hi Everybody,

For this card I have used the Rose Filigree Frame set again as it just happens to be one of my favourite dies at present

I have added it to a square card base and for the background I have used a woodgrain stamp that I have had for quite some time.

I used lots of different shades of brown to stamp it out and that gives a sort of graduated look to the wood.

The flowers have been created with two shades of the same colour to add darkness to the centres.

I showed you in a video the other day how I did these and it is so  .... easy peasy

The card can be for any occasion you like  and I have added lots of flowers to mine, after shaping them a little with the ball tool., and I have also added some clear glitter pen to them as a little extra.

It looks quite a pretty card and I would be happy to get a card like this

Candles Octagonal Filigree Frame

 Hi Everybody,  

Today I am using another of the new dies to join my collections and this one is the
 Candles Octagon Filigree Frame

In this video I use the same die set but make cards for two different occasions and a change of colour too

They all work together whichever collection you have and they can build up into really versatile dies for you to use over and over again.

Here is the video so why not relax with a cuppa while you watch in your favourite chair. 

 

It is not a long video but just as enjoyable I hope and if you have the die sets than I hope you will enjoy playing with them at your own leisure.

Red Ribbon Card

 Hi Everybody,  

This little card is created from the Round Bauble Easel Die Set but I have simply added to a card front instead of a complete easel card.

All the easel dies in this new co0llection can be used in the same way and it's up to you to ring the changes.

For the outside border I have cut the three snowflake die several times and just added it around the edge.

The making of this card has been shown in another video and if you wanted to skip forward to it it is at the 6 minute mark on the film.

It is one that has been added before but I will include it again as you may have missed it.
 It's not long but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Here it is ...

I shall try to add more videos from now on but just as a side note my meeting with the consultant wasn't very encouraging.

Rose Filigree Frame

 Hi Everybody,

I feel like I am making a comeback and I am sorry for my absence. But many of you know why I have been away.

At long last I have a new video for you and this one features the Rose Filigree Frame from the new Festive Frames Collection.

I feel really out of touch with everything and I wish I could say that I am now sorted and fit.

 I am back with the consultant this week and so maybe I will have something to report once I have spoken to him. Wish me luck !!

For now here is the card that I have created with the new dies and I have used a very inexpensive Kraft Card.  

This is not something that I use often but it can produce some lovely designs is coupled with other colours.  The video will show you how I made it and I think it is very effective. 

 I hope you enjoy the video and it's not very long.

Thank you for your patience with me over the last few months.

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you for taking part in this weeks draw and I hope the winner comes forward to claim it this time. There may be many reasons why some one doesn’t come back but it is sad whatever the  reason.
I just hope that you are all staying safe as this virus continues to be with us.
We in Blackpool or on a full lockdown  again as the numbers rise.

I have noticed that some of you are saying that your comments are not showing up, and you are leaving the same message three or four times. If you read the notice when you add the comment it does tell you that comments will not be added until they have been moderated by me … and so of course there is nothing there for you to see.  I delete the extra messages as I see them

Please be patient as your comments will be there once I have been through all those that have been added.                 
This just ensures that naughty messages, like the ones that where being added a while ago don’t show up on my blog to offend someone. They offended me I can assure you and they needed to be eliminated from the section.

So onto this weeks winner and the name this week …

Thank You

Hi Everybody,

I just wanted to pop in and say a big "Thank You" to all of you who have sent me well wishes, prayers and cards while I have been out of action for the past few weeks.  It is very much appreciated and I really do hope to be back soon. I miss blogging and videoing and all of YOU too

Now yesterday I received these beautiful flowers in a glass vase with a box of chocolates and a card from Elaine Prendergast.

She was one of the winners of my Friday Freebies and she wrote to tell me that she was a teacher in Ireland.

She had shown my blog to her class and apparently I made a big hit with them

I duly sent her the prize she had won and I asked her if she would like "Goodies" for the children to craft with.

So I sent off the box with all kinds of things in it and I ended up with my 
 Irish Fan Club

This is the link to the post about them and the card they all made and signed for me.

Thank you Elaine for still remembering me and for the flowers. I know by now you will be teaching another class of children as that group will have moved on.

But their card and the pleasure I gave by sending the crafting stuff really made my day.

 Hi Everybody,

It's a bit windy here today but not cold and Ruby has just gone out for a walk with Vickie and Dougal.

She has taken them both to Witch Wood and they will have a lovely time sniffing about and looking for squirrels. They don't chase them so no harm comes to the little creatures,

I have not had a particularly good week with walking  but I have gone back to my doctor for stronger pain relief in the hope that it will help if only a little.

Now lets move on to something more cheerful, and that is the draw for the fabulous 

Victoria and Albert  Collection that was on offer yesterday 

The papers in this set are really lovely and some one will have a good time playing with this one. along with the dies, stamps and embossing folder.

The name this week is 

Shelley Yalden

and so if you would email me your postal address please to

christina@card-making-magic.com

the gift will be on its way to you.

It helps me a lot if you can let me know that you have it safe and sound and I am sure that you will not be disappointed with it

I am sad to say the last weeks Friday Freebie of the Floral Special Collection has not been claimed and I will offer that again at a later date.

I am happy to offer the prizes, and pay the postage to wherever you live, and I don't mind if you have won before ...  you can still enter again. The only thing I ask is that you leave me your name to save confusion. And still people are not complying with this small request and obviously not reading the whole post each week when I ask that you leave your FULL NAME

NO FULL NAME --- NO ENTRY TO THE DRAW

More Patterned Panels

 Hi Everybody,

This pretty card is created with the Rectangle Patterned Panels and this is one of my favourites. 

It has such versatility for cards all year round and will suit any occasion or gender too.

Here I have made it into an Anniversary Card and added just a handful of  mulberry flowers that have been sprinkled with glitter.

Flowers are always a winner for feminine cards and I don't know anybody that wouldn't like these on her card.

I like to add mine with hot glue from a glue gun and that way I am sure that they won't fall off.

But of course you would need to add this type of card to a box to be sure it doesn't get crushed. For my card and box I have used the 5x7 Complete card and box die set and everything else is designed to fit neatly with it.

Hi Everybody,

Another Friday Freebie has come round and they seem to get quicker each week

 I still have several box kits to be won so please keep on trying if you haven't won one yet.

If you could let me know that you have it safely that would be great and I hope you enjoy playing with it when it arrives with you.

Every week I ask you to leave your FULL NAME at the end of your comment and the reason for that is to be fair to everybody else. I have on occasions had several people with the same first name  and then it gets confusing. 

But there are still people leaving entries and not adding their full names

 and I cannot enter those with only nick names into the draw. So if you are not winning then at least you  know why. 

NO FULL NAME .. NO ENTRY
