Friday Freebie - Floral Kit

Hi Everybody,

Here we are just a few days before Christmas and I don't know where this year has gone.  And this weeks offering is a bumper gift that is very heavy. 

This will be my Christmas gift to one lucky person as this one is so special

There are two magazines in this pack and a really beautiful foiled paper pack that has everything in it.

You will be able to make some gorgeous cards with this pack that will see you through the year for lots of different occasions.

If you would like to have this pack then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

Be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown as I have no way to chase you up if you don't. Should the gift not be claimed then it will be offered again at a later date.

More tomorrow ...

Spikey Pink Flowers

 Hi Everybody,

These are the spikey pink flowers that I had in the box on Monday, and here I have now added them to a card. It is a 5x7 size and has layers in pink and blue.

The top pink layer has been run through the machine in the Perfect Roses embossing folder to add some more texture to the design.

The silver circle frames have been cut in two different sizes with the flowers, and a mixture of different coloured leaves, added randomly to the front. 

The circle dies are a new addition to the Card Making Magic range and they are an Alternate Stitched Nesting set and they will be with you in January.

The sentiment is from my stash but this card could be for any occasion you wishes. 

It will of course need a box to give it in as the depth is far too much for an envelope. But it is a pretty card that is sure to please someone in the future when it is given.

I am having fun creating these flowers and it is easy to sit in front of the TV in the evening and die cut them out. I can colour them and make them up whenever I am ready to add some more to my creations.

Blog Hop Video

 HI Everybody,

The Blog Hop is still LIVE and so there is still the chance for you to win one of the £25 vouchers that are being offered by Craft Stash. 

The winners will be announced next week and I will add the names to a blog post and on Facebook.

In the meantime here is the video for you to watch if you missed the hop last Friday, and you can still leave your comment, like and subscribe to the channel to be in with that chance

                       

Under the video in the description box you can find all the links to the other participants in the hop with some wonderful ideas and inspiration that they have shared with you.

We are hoping to plan another one and we hope you will be able to join us again for that. I will let you know when that is going to be. Thank you for joining in with the last one

More tomorrow ...

Yellow Roses

 Hi Everybody,

These yellow roses are made from Foamiran and I used the largest die from the Layered Flowers die set to create them in many layers. 

The foam I have used is from Craft Stash and there is a good choice of both foam and the stamens to go in the centre of any type of flower that you make.

The edges of these roses have been inked in orange, dabbed with glue and then sprinkled with glitter for  lovely sparkly effect. 

I have used a left over die cut that I found on my desk and added it to the background for a little extra effect.

The leaves are a mixture of foam and card and I have used the branch from the Beautiful Baubles set.

It is a pretty card but will not fit into an envelope so a box will need to be made to send it.
