Winner

Hi Everybody,

It is a beautiful day here in sunny Blackpool and I shall be beach walking with Ruby after this post.

We are so lucky living right near the beach and it is just five minutes from my house to get there.

Ruby loves it and I love seeing her run around. And we don't see a soul most of the time

At the moment she is in her basket at my side ... snoring her head off.

The draw for the Friday Freebie has been done and the name this week is ...

Valerija Jakolic

would you email me your postal address please to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it in the post to you as soon as I can.

I hope you are all keeping well wherever you are in the world and not feeling too down if you have to stay isolated. Keep smiling ... keep crafting and hopefully this will come to an end in the not too distant future.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Perfect Panels & Lovely Layers A2 Card Size

Hi Everybody,

So once again as promised I am adding another video from the Rectangle Perfect Panels Collection.

This one uses another set of the panels, that I have added to an A2 sized card, and it is a very elegant card that would suit many occasions.

For this I have also used the A2 Complete Card & Box Die Set and in particular the flowers, leaves and Lacey border that is in the set.

Change the colour scheme and leave of the flowers and this would be just as suitable for any male card too

So I hope you enjoy this video for another size to create from the same die set

It's not a long video ... just enough time for a cuppa and relax.  Then make it for your self and send it with love. And look out for the video on Sunday creating a square card with the same die set for yet another look for your cards

Perfect Panels & water colour

Hi Everybody,

Today I am showing you another card created with the rectangles and this one has used the

5x7 Complete Card & Box Die Set 

to make the base and the Trellis panel on the front

To the top of this I have added to the centre of the card the Rose detailed die from the

  Perfect Panels Rectangle Dies 

 and you can see how well they all play together.

This centre rose panel has been water coloured and then layered with another cut panel and all of it then added with foam tape to give it dimension

The sentiments is from the Box set and fits very well with the card and I have used some parchment behind it just to make it stand out a little more with our disguising the Roses beneath it.

I will be showing how I made this card in a video coming soon as well as featuring the other dies in the collection too.

Perfect Panels & Lovely Layers - 5x7 Card

Hi Everybody,

Yesterday I promised you a video using the new dies from Card Making Magic.

I have made this in a different colour to yesterdays card but it is just as lovely once it is finished.

And because of the depth in both yesterdays and today's cards I have created the box to go with them.

I have tried to explain how these new dies are designed to work and it is important other wise you may think that there is a fault in the manufacturing of them 

These new dies are so detailed and beautiful but just as easy to cut and use. All the measuring and layering is done for you and they are designed to work with all the Complete Card & Box Die Sets. So whichever sets you have you will be able to get beautiful creations for your self.

I will be adding more vidoes with this new collection and don't forget that these dies will play really well with any of the other dies that you may have from Card Making Magic.

I am so excited about this latest addition and I really hops you enjoy them as much as I have.

More tomorrow ...
