Three Videos

Hi Everybody,

The first thing I want to do is wish you ALL a very Merry Christmas wherever you are in the world and how ever you celebrate it

I am going to be scheduling blog posts for the next few  days so that I can get some time off to be with my family.
But I will be back with even more good things to share with you.

Any comments that you kindly leave will be added as I come back to my PC

I hope you will stay with me through the New Year and continue to enjoy the videos

Talking of which I have three to add here ... just to keep you going ....

Merry Christmas xxx

Card & Gift Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

A really quick post today as I have lots to do before the big day.  I did all my shopping yesterday but you can sign your name in the dust in my house and so to get that in order is the main task for today.

But the draw for a winner has been chosen at random to receive the card and gift from yesterday. It was the lovely nesting Family Ties dolls and sentiments.  The name chosen is you ...

Maggie Gardner

please will you email me your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and they will be on their way to you straight away.

I hope you will put them to good use and please let me know when you have them safely.

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Family Ties

Hi Everybody,

This little stamp and die set came free with Simply Cards and Papercraft 164 and was really popular.

It is one that can be used all year round and for many occasions and I had a lot of fun creating, from card, dolls that nested inside each other

Here is the video to show you how I did that 

SC&P 164 - Family Ties

I am offering you the chance to win the gift of dies and stamps along with the card I made using it.  And all you need to do is leave me a comment if you would like it

From those comments a name will be drawn and the winner announced in tomorrows blog post.

You will have 72 hours in which to claim it but if you know you are going away and won't be here to claim it then PLEASE don't add your name 

And only add your comment once please ... they will not show up until they have been moderated and duplicate entries will be removed  that keeps it fair for everybody

More tomorrow ...

Being Creative ...

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using up all the little left over die cuts that I have sitting around in my craft room and making four cards with them.

 These are all extra pieces that are left over from making cards with my own collection and I cannot throw them away.

So a video as in order to show you how I used them all up and made a lovely background to go with them all.

The video is here for you to view

 Being Creative Using Left Over Die Cuts 

and  these are just two of the cards.

I hope you will have time to watch in this busy run up to Christmas and it's not long I promise you.

Just enough time to have a brew and relax for a little bit

More tomorrow ...

Bumper magazine freebies ...

Hi Everybody,

This months issue of Die Cutting Essentials 32 is a bumper issue of goodies just for you.

Not only do you get the free gift of a seven piece Woodland Friends die set but there are also stamps with it too. They can help you to make cards like the one on the right.

You also have the opportunity to download some woodland themed papers and I have used them on the featured card

Then on page three of the magazine you can choose one of the four dies on offer and all you need to do is pay the postage of £2.49

There are three sentiment dies to choose from in that offer and they would make an excellent accompaniment to any design.

The video for this gift is here for you to view and in it I make a Shaker Card ...

It's not a long video and I hope that you enjoy it.

The magazine will be on  sale tomorrow the  21st December 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
