Landmark Collection Anniversary Card

Hi Everybody,

This Gold and White card is created with the Landmark Collection and the A5 Complete Card & Box Die Set

They are all available at Craft Stash and should they be out of stock then leave your email and you will be notified when they are back in.

For this card I have included a Wobble Action mechanism to the back of the heart and that just makes it interactive for the recipient.

They are great fun for childrens cards to and there are quite a lot in a pack for you to play with.

The video will show you how I made this one and it is very elegant and easy to do.

I hope you will give this one a try and it can be altered for any anniversary you need to cover ...

More Artwork ...

Hi Everybody,

If you have been with me for sometime then you will know that my husband Griff died in November 2018, and since then this house has been just that ... a house.

But I am now ready to turn it back into a home for Ruby and me and start adding some colour into my safe place again. I have started doing things to it that I have neglected.

The last major job that Griff did was fitting a new kitchen and it is beautiful. I added a video about that after we had painted the long wall Lime Green

And we where both so happy with it once it was done

You may know that I have recently discovered acrylic paint pouring and this is giving me lots to learn and think about and it is something I am enjoying.  Griff would have loved this artwork as he was always so proud of the oil paintings I did at night school back in 1994.  And yes they where still on my walls all these years later.

But now, in one of my bedrooms, I have done a feature wall and added a group of my own paintings and this is what that room looks like now.

I liked it so much that I decided to do a similar thing in the other bedroom.

I tried some canvases on the wall to see what size I wanted.

And then I turned it from this boring cream wall

... to this, which is deep wine red and matches the bed cover and the curtains to perfection.

And as Griffs two daughters bought me a lot of canvases for my birthday last week I have plenty to keep me occupied.

I have lots of ideas and walls to fill yet so I will be showing you some more as I go along

Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

It’s a lovely day here and I am wondering if spring is eventually going to arrive. I have been busy shampooing all my carpets and they have come up really well. That is a job that has been neglected for quite some time, but I have made a start so that is something.

The draw for yesterday’s gift has been done and the name today is ...

Vivien Hodge

would you email me your postal address please to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it in the post to you straight away.

I hope you will enjoy it and please let me know when it arrives with you.

There are still people adding their comments with out adding their FULL NAME and that is something I ask you to do each week. Leaving one name is not enough because if I have three people with the same first name then you will will not know which one has won. 

I also don’t want your nickname either. You may be called Twinkle Toes as a nickname, but the real name is Ann Smith,  and it is the real name that must be used, then we all know exactly where the prize is going..

So if you are not winning then ask yourself why and look at how you are leaving the comment, and you will be able to answer your own question.

 So NO FULL NAME .... NO ENTRY.

More tomorrow ...
