Friday Freebie 132

Hi Everybody,

This pretty cream and gold card has numbers on the front that can easily be removed if you wanted to use it for another occasion

It has a really pretty textured background and lots of flowers along the side that have been sparkled

It is a 6" square and is much nicer in the hand.

Would you like to win this card 
Then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post.

Please come back tomorrow to see if you have won and I will send the card anywhere at my expense.

I don't think you will be disappointed with this card as the photo does not do it the justice it deserves ... but if you win it then you will see for yourself !!

The winner of this card won't be announced until Sunday because I have a Special Offer for you tomorrow from Craft Stash that I hope you will take advantage of

More tomorrow ...

New YT video

Hi Everybody,

Today there is a new video on YouTube for you to view

This is featuring another magazine freebie that will be on the shelves next week the 25th August.

It is Papercraft Essentials 137 and the gift with the mag is the Birch Tree Embossing Folder and Cute Stamps

This stamp set can take you all through the year and cover many occasions from Spring to Winter


In the video I have tried to show you some of the ways that you could use it but I am sure that you will come up with many more as you play.

Here are just two ideas one for Summer and the other for Christmas and it is the top card that I make in the video

Don't forget to reserve your copy at the newsagents. Or look for it in your local supermarket or craft shop.

And you can buy the magazine or a subscription from  Moremags


More tomorrow ...

Water Colour Wednesday - Pink Flowers

Hi Everybody,

For this card I used the Whimsical Flowers stamp set and the Pink collection of Crisp Inks from Altenew.

The stamp has a matching die to cut out the flowers and is a useful addition to your "stash"

I bought all of them and also the Hello die and stamp set from Sevenhills Crafts

It was really easy to do and I simply repeated the flower over the card and then coloured it by adding some ink to my glass mat and mixing it with water

Just a little strip of glitter tape down the side and a few sequins dotted here and there and the card was done

Quick easy and lots of fun to make and will go into my stack of ready made cards for the times when I am asked suddenly "Do you have a card for ---- "

I am sure that you know what I mean and you get asked the same question out of the blue.

It is always handy to keep some flat cards on hand that can be for lots of occasions.... Just in case !!
