Winner

 Hi Everybody,

One of my readers left a comment on the blog that she doesn't get the email about the Friday Freebie until late Saturday afternoon. And so because of that information I am going to leave the list open, for entries into the draw, from Friday morning to include all day Saturday and that will give my overseas readers the chance to enter with their comments. This makes it even more important that you leave your FULL NAME along with your comment and that you come back on Sundays to see if your name is chosen as the winner.

This week the name that has been chosen at random is ...

Jenny Cottam

so would you email me your postal address please to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it posted to your straight away.

Things should be back to normal now and my overseas winners will get their packs soon.

 I know that my UK readers have now got their packs. 

More tomorrow ...

A Big Thank You xxx

 Hi Everybody,

I just wanted to say a really big thank you to all the people who purchased my new A6 Collection on Create & Craft earlier this week as it was a really big sell out in the first hour.

All the products went and the second show had to be cancelled because there was nothing left to sell. I was thrilled that you liked it so much.

The Craft Stash Launch will be this coming Friday on Facebook Live and I will be there with Lou to show you what there is in the Collection. 

I hope you can join me at 12.30 and see what is on offer. I have a couple of vidoes to share with you and these demos will be different to the ones Ruth did on C&C.

Don't worry if you can't be there as the videos will be added at a later date to the blog pages, so you won't miss anything with them. But you will miss any prizes that are on offer in the show so make a note to join Lou and myself this Friday.

And I also wanted to tell you that the Cyber Attack in the UK is now at an end and I have been able to post all my parcels today to the winners. Please be sure to let me know when you get them though they will still take while to get to Australia and New Zealand.

More tomorrow ...

Little Step Further ...

 Hi Everybody,

Todays card is done exactly the same way as yesterdays with the paper towel technique but this time I have gone a step further.

Once the towel was completely dry I have taken finger daubers and some inks and very lightly gone over the design.

I have coloured the flowers pink and the leaves a pale green and then I added the panel to a cream card base with glue. 

The flowers and leaves have been hot glued in place and then all of it has been splattered in white, black and gold.

I have added some glitter to the petals and the sentiment to the top and this is a very pretty card that would need a box to send it in. 

You could do this with any embossing folder that you have and use the cheapest of kitchen roll, toilet paper, tissue or napkins that you have and it doesn't matter if there is a pattern already in the roll it will still take on the embossing pattern once it is wet and you run it through your machine. 

Just have fun and play and you will be surprised at the result. 

More tomorrow ...
