Valentine Heart

Hi Everybody,

No sooner are we over one occasion than we are on to another and of course the next big one in the calendar is Valentines Day.

For this card I have created a 5x7 base and added an embossed panel to it using foam tape to raise it up.

The heart has been stamped with the Altenew Whimsical Herring Bone design, coloured with Alcohol markers and then cut out with the die. 

That has also been raised up with foam tape.

The tiny hearts on the front of the card have been cut from some left over gold glitter card and simply glued in place.

Quite clean and simple but just as effective as a red heart which is mostly the colour that get s used at that time.

Have you started to make any Valentine Cards yet or will you wait until a little nearer the time??

More tomorrow ...

All Occasions Collection

Hi Everybody,

This is a collection that does what it says on the pack and it covers "all occasions". 

I am sure there are lots of instances when a card like this would be very welcome ... as well as exams and graduations too.

You can spend an evening cutting these words out ready to use, and then make up the sentences as you need them to add to your designs.

They also match with other words dies in other collections and so give you even more scope to work with.

This card has used the flower foam again and I have really enjoyed making these flowers. Another job that can be done in a n evening if front of the telly. Use your inks to add shading to the petals and the stamens.

I have added glitter to these flowers as I usually do and that gives them extra sparkle for your creations.

The ribbon is wrapped around the layers and fastened safely on the back for a neat effect.

Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you for joining in yesterday with the Facebook Live and I am so happy that you liked the collection. And also for the comments on Ella’s appearance in the video. She was at the vet on Thursday to be spayed and she is feeling a bit sorry for her self at present. But it is better than unwanted kittens and she will be fine in a couple of weeks.

The draw for the gift offered in the Friday Freebie has been done and as I explained I am unable to post it to you as yet because of the Cyber attack on Royal Mail.

But I promise you it will get to you eventually.

So the name this week is

Val Wallis

So if you could email your postal address please to me

christina@card-making-magic.com

and then be patient until it gets to you. Be sure to let me know when you do have it and I hope you enjoy playing with it once you do.
