Alphabet and Numbers Collection

Hello Everybody,

Here we are a step nearer to Christmas.  Have you got everything ready for the holiday?  I have some new cards to share today with the latest collection of dies that I have and they are available at  Craft Stash   right now.

One of them is an Alphabet that will enable you to personalise any of your projects.

These are excellent for making two cards at the same time by using positive and negative die cuts.

For this card I cut the word JOY from white card and then add the words to the
  Snowflake panel

I spread glue over the letters and sprinkled them with glitter,  and added the stamped  Poinsettias behind 

I have added tiny diamante into the centres of each flower.

With the negative piece I have stencilled the top of it with the Flourish  and added faux stitching around the edge

The addition of the gemstone flourish makes it more luxurious

More tomorrow ...

New Collections from Card Making Magic

Hello Everybody,

Today I wanted to share with you a brand new
 New Collection from Card Making Magic.
 I have a short video to show you the first part of it to help you make some lovely cards and next Thursday 20th December I am on Craft Stash Facebook Live so please join me

Having Letters and Numbers is always a good idea for your own collection and then you can personalise all your projects.

There are some lovely border dies in this section with more exciting additions in the New Year and so I hope you will keep visiting the blog pages to see what they are.

For this card I have coloured some white card in an Ombre fashion with shades of pink ink and then used one of the border dies to cut them out. 

They have been added to an embossed background on the card,  keeping the shading in order.  

I will be doing videos with all these new additions and don't forget to join
 me next week
20th December Craft Stash Facebook Live 

More tomorrow ...

Card & Gift Winner

Hello Everybody,

The card that is with this weeks gift was one I made some time ago and is in the style that I really enjoy making and so I hope that the winner this week will like the colours that I chose.  There are some lovely images on the A4 stamp sheet that is on offer and I am sure that you will have fun playing with them. 

All the Friday Freebies to the end of this year were all done well in advance and then scheduled to go out each week. And that has been a big help to myself knowing they will go out without any problem

There have been very few blog posts this week but that doesn't mean I have been doing nothing.

Tomorrow there is a short video about my newest collection, and there is more to come by the end of the year.

Craft Stash have been working really hard on my behalf to get these new dies and stamps out to you, but now it is time for me to do my part. There is one thing for sure and that is time marches on and waits for no one. I know Griff would have loved this new collection and he would be proud of whatever I achieve.

Those who met him will have been shown the films he has of me and my cards that he stored on his phone ... and he was never shy of showing them to anybody and everybody that would look.

So the winner of the card and gift today is ...

June Horrocks

please email me with your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

Thank you to everybody for your understanding and your kinds words they have been a great comfort  and support to me over the past few dreadful weeks. And thanks also for staying with me in the past and into the future

The video to show you some of my ideas is Serene Beauty   and includes this floral card to just a simple background

So if you would like to have this stamp set then please leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

Card & Gift winner

Hi Everybody,

It's Saturday morning again and it's raining. I have tried to stay positive this week and get done all the things I needed to do. 

My little Ruby is a treasure and she is with me wherever I go ... and I mean everywhere. It's as if she is scared I will disappear too.

I think we have been good for each other over the last few difficult weeks and I would not swap her for the world. She is an angel in disguise.

The draw for the card and gift from yesterday has been done and the name of the winner this week is ....

Shelley Yalden

Please can you email me your postal address to

christina@card-making-magic.com

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

And the prize to Jean Marmo is now on it's way also ... and once again my apologies for the delay.

Could both of you please let me know that you have them safely 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
