Winner

Hi Everybody,

It's blowing a gale here today and I just happen to be having a  new roof fitted on my house ... so a gale force wind is not what I need right now. 

It has been really noisy and it has been impossible to work in the craft room. 

Where they have nailed the new batons onto the roof, I have little chips in all the plaster to the ceiling because of course my craft room is up in the attic space.

 So at present I am giving it all a wide berth until they are finished.

But I have done the draw for yesterdays Chloe gift and the name today is ...

Val Wallis

would you email me please with your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and the prize will be on its way to you straight away.

I would appreciate it if you could also let me know that you have it safely and I hope you enjoy playing with the beautiful dies

More tomorrow ...

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.

More tomorrow ...
