Friday Freebie - Floral Note
April 08, 2025
Playtime Cards
This little card is created with just an ink smooshed background that has been splattered with some gold and then layered onto gold mirror card
I have stamped the sentiment directly onto the base card, which is 5x7, and the patterned panel has been added with some foam underneath to give it some depth.
The base card is top folded and used in Landscape just to ring the changes in the way I usually lay out my designs.
I am sure that many of you already have a set very much the same as this one.
It doesn't need to be identical to create this look for your self so take a look through your own collections and see what you have..
You could even use real ribbon if you preferred and that would look just as good.
Bye for now ...

Umbrellas'
These cards are the ones that have had the circle die cut turned into an Umbrella and it makes for a very effective card.
The back grounds are also hand created using inks and so of course each one will be different from the other.
I have used the circular box die this and since my brane was at Craft Stash and they have closed their doors there is no point in me adding in any links.
If you already have the die set then use it and if not then use any circular die that you may have in your own collection to give you the same look.

Christi Neal - Winner
Hi Everybody,
Thank you for participating in all the Friday Freebies that I have done over the years and I have given away probably hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds worth of gifts in that time. I am sure that the winners have had some fun playing with whatever it was you won and many also got extras inside the envelope too.
But like everything else in the crafting world things are changing and the Friday Freebie is coming to an end and next week sees the last of them being offered to you. The cost of postage has gone up and it can cost me as much as £12 - £15 UK to post them to USA or Australia, and that is no longer a viable expense for me.
So this week the winner of the Peacock die is
Christi Neal
and if you would send me your postal address to
christina@card-making-magic.com
I will get it posted off to you straight away.
Please be sure to let me know that you have it safely and I hope you enjoy playing with the die when it arrives.
Bye for now ...
Hugs xx
