For You from Card Making Magic

Hi Everybody,

This pretty card has used one of the Ribbon Threader dies from Card making Magic  which are all available at Craft Stash

There are four different patterns for you to use  in the one pack.

They give such a lovely effect to your designs and with four ribbon threaders to choose from you can vary the look each time you use them. 

I have added some mulberry flowers to the bottom and sprinkled them with glitter for added sparkle

Around the flowers I have added some Tear Drop Diamante

Altogether a really special card and by varying the colours you can achieve another look to the cards you create.

More tomorrow ...

Textured background

Hi Everybody,

The background to the Oval shape has been created with white card and the Spring Summer Die and Stamp set.

The die cuts have been simply added to the card and give a beautiful patterned back drop to the stamps and coloured flowers

I have water coloured the flowers and then added the oval to the front with foam tape underneath to raise it up.

The design offers a different look to your cards in a very elegant way and is quick and easy to do as it is just die cutting all the leaves and adding them to your card.

You can use your favourite medium to create your stamped flowers and use one of the smaller ovals to cut it out and add to the main oval. Change the colours to suit your recipient and send with love.

Beautiful Daffodils

Hi Everybody,

Easter will soon be with us and it doesn't seem two minutes ago since it was Christmas. 

So just to be awkward I decided to make this card into a birthday one and I used the daffodils from Altenew that were the gift with Simply Cards & Papercraft a few weeks ago

They make really pretty cards and are so easy to put together and of course you can make them any colour you like.

I also used the papers from the pack because they are bight and cheerful.

I am hoping the weather gets better for the holidays too so that Ruby and I can enjoy long walks on the beach together.

More tomorrow ...

Card Making Magic - Rainbow Card

Hi Everybody,

This bright and cheerful card is ideal for any age group male of female and can be used for lots of occasions at the same time

It is really easy to make and the addition of a little glitter makes it sparkle so much more.

The video will show you how I made this card and its matching box from the 5x7 Card & Box Die Set.

But the same idea could be made with any of the Box sets ... 6x6 or the A2

And whichever size you use you will be sure to have a lovely card that you can be happy to send.

And because the card is flat enough it will even fit into an Envelope that you can make from the same box dies

More tomorrow ...

Card & Gift Winner

Hi Everybody,

It's gone right back to winter here today and it is very windy wet and cold. What the Blackpool people would cal typical lights weather .... referring to how windy it is when the Illuminations are switched on in September ... and it's only March.

We are tucked up nice and warm today and Ruby has NO chance of going for a walk. So I have done the draw instead for yesterdays offering of the Meadow Flowers embossing folder stamps and die set.
