Hi Everybody

Altenew and Practical Publishing have brought you a new boxed kit that  is on sale now.

It is full of beautiful ideas, along with some gorgeous papers for you to use on your own projects.

You will also find in the pack 3 dies and a stencil with multiple leaf images on it.

This is a card that I have made from the kit and the flower is lovely  and being Altenew it is going to go quick.

Perfect panels & Lovely Layers Circles

Hi Everybody,

This was the card that I gave you a sneaky peak at when the new Perfect Panels where ready to be launched onto the world.

But I don't think I ever showed you the full card so here it is in all its glory with yet another way to use hose circle dies.

For this card I have created quarter panels and layered them to the circle card base and I have used Pink, Pale grey and Cream to make the card 

I have added the flowers and highlighted them and the sentiment in shiny gold mirror card.

I will do a video in the next few days to show you how I made this card and it is very effective but easy to make. 

Card Making Magic is going to be on Hochanda tomorrow so I hope you can join me as I will be doing some demos for you via video.

Squares ?? What squares !!

Hi Everybody,

Today I am using the square dies again from the Perfect Panels ~ Squares set but this time we are making a long slim card commonly called a DL

These are easy enough to make for your self from A4 card stock, and have some left over for layers.

I like the shade of blue that this one is in and it goes really well with the white. It is called Marine Blue and it is from Papermill Direct

The video is not long, so no time to get bored, but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

I have lots more to come in the next few weeks so I hope you will keep visiting me often, and please leave me your comments as it is very encouraging for me when you do.

Square Card & Matching Box

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card and it's matching box is sure to delight any recipient that receives it ... I know I would if some one made this for me.

The pale turquoise goes so well with the white and I think the pink flower just sets it all off nicely.

I have combined it with the

Square Perfect Panels & Lovely Layers Die Set and the Embossing Folder 

The video will show you how I made both card and box. The flowers are some from another project that where beckoning me to add them to this set and I couldn't resist

I have another video tomorrow with the same sets and then I will move onto one of the others and do a few videos with that.
  I want to show you just how versatile these new Perfect Panels & Lovely Layers are and how they can help you to make some beautiful cards

Please don't forget to scroll back and check for the winner of Fridays Give Away as I was somewhat late posting it. Sorreeeee!!

Hi Everybody,

Sorry for the delay with the winner but I had a lot to do this morning and get ready for the post before they close at lunchtime. But all jobs no done and once this post is done I can relax for a while.

This is a super prize to have with one magazine to browse through and two fabulous dies from Paula for you to play with. And both dies compliment each other to make lovely cards. They would look really good for any male cards that you need to make.

So without further ado the winner this week is ...
