Friday Freebie - Furry Friends

Hi Everybody,

Today's gift is perfect if you have friends with pets or they are simply animal lovers because this A4 stamp set has many pets on the sheet.

There are lots of accessories to dress them up too, and a big easy chair to sit them in.

I had a lot of fun playing with this one and the video will give you some ideas on how to use it.

Furry Friends  uses the large stamp set but there was also another smaller set that came with the gift which I didn't use but I have included.

So If this is a gift that you would like to win then all you need to do is leave me a comment with your FULL NAME and then come back tomorrow to check if it is your name that is shown in the post.

You will have 72 hours in which to claim it and it is well worth winning.

More tomorrow ...

Card Making Magic Christmas Ornaments Card

Hi Everybody,

Quick and easy card today using the new Christmas Ornaments from Card Making Magic.

All my collections are available exclusively at Craft Stash and if something that you want is out of stock then leave your email address and they will notify you when it is back on their website

So for this card I used turquoise and white with silver and it looks really pretty in the hand.

The thin ribbon is some that I have had in my stash for years and I knew it would come in handy one day !!

The video will show you how I made both the card and the envelope, and it is strong enough to go through the post if you use good quality glue

The video will show you some of the ways in which I have made it work for me and as Holly & Ivy are evergreen then it is something that can be used all year round for any occasion.

Lacey Circles Easel Card

Hi Everybody,

Today I am sharing a video with you and I have used the Lacey Circles to create an easel card in pretty shades of  Pale Blue and Lemon

I added some silver into the mix to give it a little more sophistication and created the flowers from the daisy in layered shades of yellow and white

Because there is not a lot of depth to the card I decided to add it to an envelope and this is strong enough to go through the post

The card I have used is 255 gsm from Papermill Direct and I have used Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue to hold it all together

I am very pleased with the result and would be happy to receive a card like this at any time.

Dream Catcher Gift

Hi Everybody,

Over the last year there have been many exclusive gifts, that have been given away with magazines, that have come from Card Making Magic

This one was the Dream Catcher and it was very popular. 

The background to this card was created from the stamps in the set in bright and cheerful colours for an individual look

I made a video to show you other ways in which it could be used and I had a lot of fun playing with it.

There are more gifts on the way from me and I hope you will like them just as much.

It is well worth looking out for the magazines as they become available with these quality gifts that can help you to build up your own personal collection each month.

More tomorrow ...
