Lacey Collection Nested Rectangles

Hi Everybody,

This week is going to be a busy week for me and I have lots of samples to make for the Hochanda show later this week.

Also the second box kit will be out for you to buy, but more about that tomorrow.

This card is really pretty and made with the A2 
Lacey Nesting Rectangles from the Craft Stash
and the bear is an image from my stash, and she is raised up with foam tape to create shadow and interest 

I used my new Arteza Water Colour Brush Pens to water colour her and they blended really well for a lovely effect.

I threaded all the Rectangle Frame with pink organza ribbon and added a bow at the bottom. The verse is from the new ones Set 2 in this Lacey Collection.

It's a fun card that I enjoyed making and  I am sure with a Birthday Sentiment it would please some little girl  for her special day

More tomorrow ...

Card & Gift Winner

Hi Everybody,

I am late again and it's raining too so nothing new there. 
Being busy is an understatement at the moment  as I don't seem to have enough hours in the day to get everything done.
But eventually I get to do the draw and this week the name that came out of the hat is 

Carole Eaton

would you email me your postal address please to
christina@card-making-magic.com
and it will be in the post to you as soon as I can.

I hope you will enjoy playing with the set and please let me know that you have it safely.
And "No" I can't name all the reindeer ... only the one with the red nose !!

More tomorrow ...

There are items within the stamp set that you can add to your reindeer such as a hat, scarf and place a sack in his hand that could be full of gifts.

If you would like to have this  Festive Friend  stamp and de set then all you need to do is leave me a comment with your FULL NAME at the end of the post and pop back tomorrow to see if you are the winner. 

You have 72 hours in which to claim the prize and it doesn't matter if you won before or where you live.

Lacey Nested Rectangles

Hi Everybody,

Today it is the turn of the rectangles from the Lacey Collection and these are a really useful set to have

In the video I have shown you how I made the frames and to layer them up so that they are on different levels

This means that you can see into the depth of the card and it gives a lovely effect

The colour scheme is a bit bright but a change is as good as a rest from the soft pastel that I like to use ... especially pink !!


So with this colour palette I decided to make one for the girls and one for the boys and it works for both cards.

The pretty flowers are from Petal Lu and they can be seen and bought on Facebook.

I am really pleased that you seem to be liking the new Lacey Collection and I will be on Hochanda next week with the One Day Special on the 29th May. I Hope you can join me 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
