Crafti Potential - Layering Stamps

Hi Everybody,

I have been playing with the new stamps from Crafti Potential again today and I love the designs that Christine has come up with

For today's video I have shown you how two of the collection play really nicely together, each knowing where to fit on the other.

They are the Fleur de Lis and the Quatrefoil.

Used independently they will give you lovely backgrounds ... but use them together and the effect is gorgeous.

There are eight designs in this collection and each one is special for the type of background you may want to have.   I have used them with dies from the "Christina Collection" as well as sentiment dies from Tonic and Creative Expressions

They will suit male and female and work really well with any other stamps and dies that you may have. So pop over to Craft Stash and take a look at this brand new addition to their website

More tomorrow ...

Crafti Potential - Stamp Collection - Hearts

Hi Everybody,

This week has seen the exciting addition of some new stamps from my lovely friend Christine Smith.

Many of you will know of her from our YouTube collaborations and her blog is

Crafti Potential 

She makes the most amazing cards and we have completely different styles.

But working with her stamps has been really good and they can fit my style very easily.

There are eight new A6 stamps and there is sure to be something that you like.

Here I have used the hearts and the video will show you how I created this card.

It's not long but I hope you enjoy it all the same 

I have more videos to add using some of the other stamps from Christine's collection and we are also planning another collaboration video where we will use both of our collections together and see what we come up with.

More tomorrow ...

Card & Gift Winner ...

Hi Everybody,

For the last few Saturdays I have told you that it was raining here in Blackpool. Well today when the rest of the country is struggling with the snow .... we haven't got one flake of the stuff. Apart from waking up Tuesday morning to see everything covered white, we have escaped the worst. And the snow on Tuesday soon went and we have had nothing since.

Living by the coast helps to keep it away as the salt air does something to snow and it very rarely sticks for long here.  So when it rains I am merely passing on what the weather is doing .... it's not a complaint and I am very happy that the snow has left us in peace. 

Now having said that it will be six foot deep next week !!

The draw for the card and gift from yesterday has been done from the comfort of my warm and cosy house and the name this week is YOU ....

Margaret Wilson

Altenew Layering Dies

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for the response to my

  Craft Room Sale Day 

and the date is going to be the 18th March 2018

If you emailed me about this then I will send you the address and for others that are interested then please email me 

christina@card-making-magic.com

Here is another of the layering dies from Altenew and I have really enjoyed playing with these.

They have quite a hefty price tag on them so they wont be every bodies cup of tea but I thought they looked so versatile and can make a card very quickly.

I chose a pale blue and mint green for this card but it would look really special with glitter card added to one of the layers

The addition of a few sequins dotted around are my finishing touch

More tomorrow ...
