Friday Freebie - Home Sweet Home

Hi Everybody,

This cute little die and stamp set is perfect to send to any one moving house and I had a lot of fun creating different styled houses and bungalows with it.

The video will show you some of my ideas and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This gift came with my favourite magazine Simply Cards & Papercraft  back in March and it can be yours if you leave me a comment with your full name 

From those comments one name will be drawn at random and announced in tomorrows blog post so be sure to come back and check if it is you who is listed.

I don't mind where you live and you can still enter even if you have won in the past. You don't need to have a blog of your own either.

And starting next week and for the whole of October I am going to be giving the free gifts away to two lucky winners so be sure to come back

 Good Luck 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Creative Stamping 62 Winter Woodland

Hi Everybody,

Today I am showing you Creative Stamping 62 which will be on sale tomorrow the 20th September.

The stamp set is Winter Woodland and the video is below to show you how I used it.

 I enjoyed using this stamp set to make my cards and there are lots of ways for you to vary the scenes.

There is also a reader offer to get the embossing folder for just the post and packing

The cards can be as elaborate as you wish to make them and add glitter onto the snow for more effect.

But they also make really pretty Birthday Cards and so this is another useful stamp set for all year round to add to your growing collection

More tomorrow ...

Card Making Magic Tags and Sentiments ...

Hi Everybody,

The Tags and Sentiments are some of the newest dies in the Christmas Collection from Card Making Magic and they are all available at Craft Stash

They are something that can be used all year round to add to parcels that you may give ...personalise them with the recipients name

But you can also ad them to cards to decorate the front and as this one shows I have added two and shadowed the top one

I threaded ribbon through both loops and then used foam pads to pop them up.



A very easy way to embellish any cards whatever the time of year

More tomorrow ...
