Beautiful Heart Boxes

Hi Everybody,

This beautiful box is very easy to make and it comes in two sizes. I have chosen to make the smaller one in the video but the method is the same for either size.

There are lots of ways that people choose to put these boxes together but this is the way that is easier for me.

So I hope you will enjoy the video/

It is a little longer than I usually make, but there is a good bit of information there.

This is a selection of the other boxes I have made and the cream one in the lower left corner has has the box lid covered with jut and then flowers on top.

Have fun and think up some different ways to decorate any of your boxes.

They are perfect to give with gifts inside or just as storage for bit and pieces around your own home.

Just have fun as you make them 

More tomorrow ...

 Hi Everybody,

I hope you are all staying safe in this continuing situation. We all hoped that once 2020 was out of the way that things would change but 2021 is not looking a whole lot better as yet. But we live in hopes that they will improve as the year progresses and we can all enjoy a little more normality.

The draw for yesterday’s “Give Away” has been done and this week the name is 

Maggie Coleman

Would you email me your postal address please to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it posted to you straight away. Please let me know that you have it safely and I hope you enjoy playing with it.

Friday Freebie = Mix & Match

Hi Everybody

I seem to have sorted out adding photos for the "give aways"  for now and thanks to all those who offered advice. Computers are a real nightmare especially when they decide to do their own thing.

Any way here is a really good offer for this weeks Friday Freebie in the form of a six piece die set complete with the magazine 

You can have fun making different frames and toppers with this set and there are lots of ideas in the pages of the book. so if you would like this set then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME

Then come back over the weekend to see if your name is listed as the winner. You will have 72 hours in which to email me if you are.

I have no way to chase you up if you don't check so please be sure to come back.

More tomorrow ...

Ruby update

 Hi Everybody,

I have just come from the vets and I am so happy to say that Ruby’s eyes are much improved. She still has a way to go yet before they are fully healed but at least there was no mention of operations for her. I have to keep on with the two different types of drops for her eyes and take her back in two weeks and hopefully she will be all clear by then.

Another piece of news is that I have been given an appointment to have the knee replacement operation on my right knee on the 18th of March. I will need to self isolate for two weeks prior to the operation and have a COVID test three days before. I am hoping that by the summer I will be able to walk properly again without pain and take Ruby on a lovely long walk.

Delightful Daisies Channel Card

 Hi Everybody,

Another lovely card using the new Channel dies from Card Making Magic and this one it the Delightful Daisies.

All my collections are available at Craft Stash and there are more new ones on the way soon.

I think these channel dies make really special cards and I enjoy playing with them.

But I have to confess to a mistake in the making of this one and that was the acetate I used !!

It wasn't thick enough and as I took the photos of the standing card the front panel was bending.
I have added the link below to some thick acetate that will not do this, and it will make your card look so much better. 

There are four sheets to the pack of A4 size and it is strong enough for this purpose as well as boxes and anything else you want to make. The sheets cut easily in your trimmer or with scissors and at £2.49 it wont break the bank

Nevertheless I hope you enjoy the video and will have a go at this card in the future using whichever of the channel dies you may have.

More tomorrow ...
