Winner

 Hi Everybody,

So here we are on a Sunday afternoon to announce the winner of Fridays Give Away. This is a fabulous pack and will certainly make some lovely cards for all year round. I am glad that I kept the offer open for an extra day as I know that some of you have not been getting the email with the Friday Freebie in it until late on Saturdays. 

At least now it gives more opportunity for people to enter the draw. And so all that is left now is to yell you who the winner is and that name this week is ....

Denise Bryant

would you send your postal address please to me
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get the pack in the post to you straight away.

I would be obliged if you could let me know when you have it and I really hope you enjoy playing with it.

More tomorrow ...

The magazine is Die Cutting Essentials and in the pages you will find lots of ideas and inspiration for you to try.

So would you like to have this come and live at your house for you to play with ???

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

 Then be sure to come back and see if your name is listed as the winner, as one comment will be chosen at random each week for the Friday Freebie on offer, which is different every week.

It doesn't matter if you have won before you can still enter and I am happy to send the package to you wherever you live. So go on give it a go !!

Deal Of The Day

Hi Everybody,

Todays special offer over on Craft Stash is to get this

  Mindful Words die set with 50% off.

So instead of the price being £14.99 you can now get it for just £7.49 The words in are quite a good size to make a focal point on your cards, and you can build up the sentences as you like.

They also work well with other words die sets in other collections so that you can build  names, dates, relationships or even deeper sentences for you to add to your designs 

For this card I have added them to the Tapis Builder die set on top of a inked stencilled background.

Each of the frames has parchment added to it and this could of course be the start of a shaker card if you wished. 

There are lots of combinations that can be achieved with this set ... Sending Healing, Love You, Thankful For You, Hello Friend and many more.

More tomorrow ...

Happy Valentines Day

Hi Everybody,

I hope you are having a good day and maybe celebrating with the ones you love. 

Perhaps you are going out to dinner this evening with your partner, I know that is what Griff and I would be doing.

The featured card has a matching envelope to it and that has also been stamped with the hearts background. 

I used the Love & Marriage die set from Card Making Magic, and the stencil from the same set. Sadly it is no longer on the Craft Stash website.

It is a card I made for Griff many Valentines days ago but for some reason I cannot part with it. I still think it is a pretty card even now years later.
