Charity Stamps

Hi Everybody,

In these time of troubles across the world it is good to make cards that can up lift some peoples spirit.

At the moment on Craft Stash they have brought out a whole range of  A5 Charity Stamp Sets that will add just those sentiments to your cards and projects.

There are four with various sentiments on them and the fifth features a lovely big rainbow that I am sure your children would love to colour and put in their window. Above are just two of the sets that I have bought and ALL the profits from these collections are going to the NHS Foundation Trust

Here is a little card that I have made using the Tough Times stamp set and these can be used all year round too.

A very worthwhile cause at present and a very useful set of stamps

Winner

Hi Everybody

It’s still very windy here but at least the sun is shining and I will get to take Ruby out in a little while for her walk and sniff about. She is not interested in chasing the ball but she loves to sniff at everything and she loves water and especially muddy water. The dirtier the better.

  I suppose that is the Spaniel in her 

I have done the draw for yesterday’s offer and the name this week is

Nancy Seed

christina@card-making-magic.com

I am sure you will have fun with it and please be sure to let me know that you have it safely

More Altenew Cards

Hi Everybody,

Today I am sharing more cards from Altenew Dies & Stamps and these are dies and stamps that I have had for quite some time.

Altnew have many fans and there is a really good selection of  their products on the Craft Stash website with new ones being added this week.

The little sentiment stamp on this is from Altenew Sentiments but I have teamed it with the Kindness die from Sugar pea.

I thought it was really appropriate at this time as many people are struggling through this period of great uncertainty.

 This card is created with the Layered Plaid Cover Plates which are a two piece die set. 

They can be used on their own and each plate will give you a different look, or you can use them together as I have done here.

I have cut them in light green and white so you can see which are the die cuts and I have also added them both to some Parchment.

It makes for an unusual background to the card.

This one is also Altenew stamps and dies and the flowers on this one are the other section to the top card.

Two for One is always an added bonus when you are making cards and something I really enjoy doing.

Lower Alphas ...

Hi Everybody,

This simple and easy card is created with the Lower Case Alphas that were introduced in the Birthday Celebrations last week.

They match perfectly the Upper case ones and are a fabulous addition to your own collection to help you personalise your cards.

Many people have unusual names that you will not find as standard. 

Or even names that they like to spell outside the norm.

For instance how many ways do you know to spell the name Christina ??? 

I have seen it as Krystina, Chrysteena, Kristyna , to mention just a few ... need I say more, none of that is standard spelling.

So this little set will give you endless possibilities when ti comes to adding names to your creations.

Personally I love it and it has opened up new avenues for me in the future, when it comes to different occasions I may be asked to make a card for.
