Are you the winner ??

Hi Everybody,

I have an early start this morning as I have several things to do before heading off to the Sincerely Yours craft show in Leigh ... and I have several items on my wish list.  

But as usual my "Film Crew" has drawn a number from the hat and  we have a name for the winner of yesterdays Sunny Yellow card ...

Mags B

The card is yours so if you could email me please ... christina@card-making-magic.com ... with your postal address then I will get the card in the post to you straight away .... well when I get back from the craft show that is !!

Later Griff  is driving me there but on the proviso that I buy him a meal on the way back home.... and I think that is a good deal.

Oh and by the way there is  new "Give Away"  being added tomorrow so if you would like to win the items on offer then you will need to add your name to the list.

This draw will be done randomly by InLinkz which means you will need to look for the box to add your name to join in with this one.

And you will need to be a follower to be in with the chance to win the goodies on offer .... and it is another quality prize well worth winning.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Friday Freebie 005

Friday Freebie 005
Hi Everybody,

Well here we are with another Friday and I don't know about you but these weeks seem to fly past.

Can you really believe that it is April already ... what happened to February, that seem to have passed  in a blur.

So this weeks Freebie is in a pretty Yellow and should appeal to those who love this sunny spring color.

I have added La Creme pearls from Want2Scrap around the edge and there are many layers to the card.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and the leaves were white but have been sprayed with Isopropyl and DG4 refill from Spectrum Noir.

The ribbon is from Mei Flower and the glitter from Glitter Magic

The card can be yours in return for a comment.

Yep!! that's all you have to do is leave me a comment here on the blog.

There is a little  box tucked beneath my signature at the end of the post that says "Comments"  click the word, add what you want and then submit.

It won't be visible until after moderation so you don't need to add it again ... and at 9 pm tonight my "Film Crew" pick a number to select a winner.

The name will be announced in the morning and then the winner will have 48 hours to email me their postal address.

Easy peasy ...

More tomorrow...

Hugs xx

Teal and White ...

Hi Everybody,

This very striking card uses teal,  white and black for added drama.

I have layered it all up with foam pads and wrapped the ribbon around them all.

The bow has a diamante centre and through the knot I have added in a matching hatpin that can be removed as a small gift.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they have the fine glitter to add sparkle from Glitter Magic

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion

This is a Hatpin I made a while ago.

I am still waiting for my silver from China ... but I promise to show you the goodies when they get here.

The background is the Tapestry Pattern and once again the card is much prettier in real life.

The pearly "Bling" that matches the label is from Want2Scrap

More tomorrow ...

Fancy that ... Back to pink !!

Hi Everybody,

Well after the change to darker colored cards over the last few days here I am back to full circle again with .... Pink.

And this one is very pretty with lots of flowers, ribbons and pearls.

I have created  a Gilded birdcage and added flowers to it... and the silver foiled card is from Hunkydory

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion  and is from the Sentimentals  range

I used silver gilding flakes and there is a tutorial to show you how I did it.






The dies I used are listed below but the Birdcage one in the list is not the one I used in  the tutorial. That was one I bought at the craft shows and before Spellbinders brought out theirs.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the button in the centre of the bow.  They have their usual sparkle from Glitter magic

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
