Papercraft Society Box 49

Hi Everybody,

Today is the day that you can order your  

Papercraft Society Box 49

This one has been designed by me and is ready for Christmas and has a beautiful array of dies stamps an papers to go with it  .... amongst other things that are inside the box.

The little booklet that comes inside the box is full of ideas from myself and other designers and is sure to give you some lovely ways in which you can use the items.

Once you start to play I am sure that you can come up with many many more.

The Papercraft Society box comes out every month and the designer is someone new each month. 
Each has a different theme and it is based on the individual designers thoughts and ideas so it will always be unique.

It can be purchased on a subscription basis and the longer you take out the subscription for the cheaper it becomes. So choose the monthly, three monthly  or the yearly option to be sure of getting your box delivered to your door each time.

To get this box you need to have subscribed before the 21st September. 

After that date you will be in line for the next designer and their beautiful box.

Bag Charm Gifts

 Hi Everybody,

I have progressed from Glue Bottle Pins to these lovely Bag Charms and I am really pleased with the way they have turned out.

I have been practising the loops and knots needed to make them, and working with wire is not that easy, as my fingers can tell you.

I bought the key rings and Lobster clasps from Amazon and I chose the middle size clasp as it was not too big or small.

I have used the chain, jump rings, beads and silver ware all from Amazon and I have added as many links as I could at the end of the post.

The beads I already had, and I have literally hundreds of them since my last foray into making hatpins.

Both of these are made as Thank You gifts for the ladies who take care of Ruby at playschool every week. 

I have used small alphabet beads to add their names to the key holders and I have done them in different colours. 

I am hoping that that they will like them when I give them to each of them. 

I have enjoyed making these and I have more lined up for my family members.

They are a good way for me to relax at the end of the day and they are something I can do and watch TV at the same time.

I will show you the others as they are made. What do you think of them ??

Ann Topp - Winner

HI Everybody,

This is going to be a lovely day ... according to the weather forecast and Ruby and I will be out there later in the sunshine for our walk. I hope you are having a good weekend wherever you are. Even if you are staying home and crafting all day.

I have done the draw good and early today and this will be the first week that I give away one of the Glue Pins along with the magazine. So I hope you will like it and make the most of it in your glue bottles. 

The only problem is that I am not sure if the pins are stainless steel. 

But I am new to this so please be patient and if it should go rusty then please please let me know and I will  change the pins I am using. 

On to the winner this week ...

Ann Topp

Would you please email me your postal address to
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get the pack ready to send to you.
