Pretty Quick Stamps ...

Hi Everybody,

I have two new vidoes for you today with products that are now available at Craft Stash.

The first one it the Rose Window Stamp Set and for both cards I have used some heat resistant acetate.

The video will show you more ideas and can be viewed here

Pretty Quick Rose Window Stamp

The links to the products will all be listed at the end of the post for you to see.

The  Pretty Quick Three Wise Men  is the second video and I hope you will enjoy both of them.

They are perhaps a little more time consuming to make than others but both are really easy and very pretty once finished.

More tomorrow...

Card Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

Thanks to everyone that enters to win one of my cards every week ... it is a real honour to me that you like them enough to want to have one for yourself.

 I am always happy to send them to you wherever you are and all I ask is that you let me know it has arrived with you safely.

What I don't understand are the people who leave their names and then don't come back to check if they are listed as a winner.  You may need to scroll back through some posts if you leave it a day or two to check but your name will be listed on the Saturday post.

I also add the names to the Winners Page and that is a permanent fixture in the left sidebar.  Take a look now and see if you are one of the ones listed that didn't come back to claim the card.  And the thing is that those people still visit the blog often 

So this weeks winner has been drawn from the hat and the name this week is you ...

Jean 

please email me your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and the card will be on its way to you straight away.

Thank you for taking part to everyone who left their comments

Friday Freebie 35 - Shabby Chic Owl

Hi Everybody,

This is a card that was offered weeks ago and the winner never came forward to claim it.

 It is a really pretty card filled with lots of metal work in the shape of the Owl and the leaves. 

There are a lot of dried grasses and sisal on this one and it is far better in the hand.

It is in shades of pale blue and autumn colours and so I am really hoping that someone will love it this time enough to give it a new home

If that is you then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post and from those comments a name will be chosen at random

You will need to come back and check if it is your name that is shown and then you have 72 hours in which to claim it .... otherwise I will have to offer it yet again !!

Beautiful Foils

Hi Everybody,

I have been buying again and this time I have got some beautiful foils to play with. These are all from Deco Foil and I got them from Amazon.

The two outer edge ones have to be my favourites at the moment but that could change as I have more colours on the way.

The one on the left is a gorgeous two tone blue and the result is a real WOW factor This is one I shall be using a lot and I will show you the cards I make with it as well as some more ways to use it in a video.

The one on the right is so elegant and it is called Opal. It looks perfect for wedding cards and it so pretty. This is another one I shall be using regularly  So keep a look out for both.

I have used all these with Stencils and Transfer Gel 
But I have a video with other ways to use any of these foils ...  More Ways with Foils 

Here are some of the cards made with these lovely colours

The card above is using that two tone blue and I just love this one and this cute little girl is added to the Opal on Black for a look that is different

I hope you will enjoy the video and join me for more as I learn about Foils

More tomorrow ...
