Friday Freebie - Floral Note

Hi Everybody,

Today sees the last of the Friday Freebie "Give Aways" and there will be no more after this. 

I have given away a lot of stuff over the years and many of you will have enjoyed the gifts that you have won.

This pack consists of a beautiful die set called

 Floral Note and it is from Crafters Companion.

It is a die that will give you the arched pattern for the top and bottom of your design and several sentiments that can be fitted in between to suit your occasion.

Plus there is also the chance for you to download some papers and toppers that will blend with the set and of course you will get the magazine that is Simply Cards & Papercraft.

So if this is something that you would like then all you need to do is leave me your comment with your FULL NAME at the ed of this post. 

Good luck if you enter and don't forget this is the last opportunity for any Friday Freebie  

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx

 

Playtime Cards

 Hi Everybody,

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 have used a bow die set and I have cut this in gold mirror card.

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'

Hi Everybody,

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.

It is a fun way to make your dies work and it also uses up any of the larger scraps of card that you may have left over.

The little flower is also from the same set, as are the leaves so I can get most of my elements for this design from the one die set.

You could try stamping an extra pattern onto the die cuts, or colouring it with your favourite medium to make it even more individual 

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx.

 

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

Friday Freebie - Peacock Elegance

Hi Everybody,

Todays offering is from an old design by

Card Making Magic and the larger size of this die was released a while ago.

 This will enhance your cards and there is the chance to download some papers that will go with it to make them even more special

The magazine that comes with it is Die Cutting Essentials and as always it is full of tips and info for your to use in your own card making.

So if this is something that you would like then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME and then be sure to come back and see if it is your name that is shown as the winner.

It is a really pretty die and well worth having in your crafting stash so go ahead and add your comment. It doesn't matter if you have won before or where you live.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx
