Hi Everybody,

This really pretty die and stamp set is the offering this week and this will give you a lovely bauble to decorate your projects.

So if you would like to have this winging its way to you then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME

Over the weekend the winner will be announced in a blog post so be sure to come back and see if your name is the one shown. You will have 72 hours in which to claim it and I am happy to send it to you where ever you are.

Winners

 Hi Everybody,

What a beautiful day it is here in the North West, lots of sunshine. My knee is responding really well to the antibiotics and I feel like I could walk a long way. I have also stopped using the elbow crutches and that is a relief too. I am really pleased with the way it is all going and to celebrate I will take Ruby for a little walk down the promenade.  It is not far from my house to the sea front and it is a lovely bracing walk, for both of us.

In the meantime I have done the draw for yesterday’s offering. I am surprised at how many people like to make Christmas cards well in advance of the occasion. I am always on  the last minute with cards and shopping. It catches me out every year. And every year I say it will be different.... but it never is.

So the name this week is 

Jane McGill

Would you email me your postal address please to 

christina@card-making-magic.com 

and the gift will be on its way to you just as soon as I can. I really hope you will enjoy playing with it and please let me know that you have it safely.

More tomorrow...

Friday Freebie - Christmas Scene

Hi Everybody,

The theme this week is still with Christmas and this offering was with Die-cutting Essentials.

There is a lot of inspiration inside the magazine to show you how to build this die up and it will give you some lovely cards 

So if you win this then it will be time to grab a cuppa and have a little browse through the pages as you relax for a while

If this is something that you would like to expand your own collection, then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME.

From those names one will be chosen as the winner of this super die set,  so you will need to come back and check if it is your name that is shown.

Good Luck

Birthday Card

Hi Everybody,

This Birthday Card is for no particular person it's just one I made ... in case !!

I have water coloured the background and then used the Nesting Ovals to cut the shape.

It has been added to a stamped and embossed panel and surrounded with glittered flowers. The butterfly has been added to the corner and this has a top layer of parchment

The leaves are an assortment of dies that have been cut in green and added to the floral display.

The sequins are dotted about and they are iridescent to take on the colour of the card behind them.

Quite a pretty card and is now waiting for a recipient to send to

Thanks ...

Hi Everybody,

This week I have had to visit the doctor again because it I have an infection in my surgery wound. 

Don't ask me how this has happened coz I have no idea all I know is that it is very hot, red and painful

I have started on antibiotics to see if that helps and fingers crossed everything will be ok in a week or so.

So this card is to say thank you for all your kind wishes and lovely messages and the many cards that you have sent to me.

The card shown has been created with the 5x7 Card and Box die set and I have used a really old stamp from Indigo Blu stamped onto a white panel. 

I have then embossed it in CMM flourish folder and added it to the card front. The "Thanks" die is another older one from Spellbinders.

The roses are from the Layered Roses Die Set and the leaves are a mixture from several sets to add variation. I have added some sequins dotted around the card for sparkle.

More tomorrow ...
