Hi Everybody,

Today's post is going to be just announcing the winners because I feel really sick and have done for the last two days. I am on Hochanda next Wednesday and Thursday and Craft Stash Facebook  Live on Friday and I have not been able to do any prep so far because I feel so poorly. 

So you will need to excuse the lack of sample on all shows until I start to feel better.

The two winners of the Dream Catcher that was on offer yesterday are ...
Kim Cranson
and
Christine Cloutier
please can you email me your postal addresses to
christina@card-making-magic.com
and the gifts will be on their way to you

Bye for now

Friday Freebie - Dream Catcher

Hi Everybody,

This fabulous little Dream Catcher was the exclusive gift from Card Making Magic

It was very popular when it was offered with Simply Cards & Papercraft

I have  two to "Give Away" today but only the first winner will get the card that is with it.

Sorreeee ! but it's the only one I have.  but the gift more than makes up for no card.

You will get an A4 stamp set and some matching dies to create your own  Dream Catcher and the stamps are not flimsy. Look after them and they will last you a long time and they are fun to work with.

Would you like to o win this gift ??? Then leave me a comment at the end of the post with your FULL NAME. Then be sure to come back and check if it is your name that is shown as the winner.

I will add the names to tomorrows blog post and the winners list is always in the NavBar to your left.

More tomorrow ...

Silver Frame

Hi Everybody,

Today's card has a silver frame on the front which means it would be prefect to add a small photo to.

For my card I have added one of the verses from the #2 stamp set and then decorated it with Daisies and silver leaves.

It is not a big card and because of the layers it would need a box.

I have used the  A5 Nesting Rectangles but the smaller dies in the set to make the whole base  and then layered with a silver card.

This would look just as good created in gold too. And there is a shinier version of both at Craft Stash 

More tomorrow ...

Cream & Gold Birthday Wishes

Hi Everybody,

Today's card is created with the Lacey Nested Oval and I have used cream and gold to make it.

It would make a lovely wedding card with an appropriate sentiment or change the colours for any other occasion.

It is 5x7 when finished and so will fit neatly into the 5x7 Card & Box Set

I have blended the flowers into the colour scheme ... but a little tip I learned a long time ago is to buy mostly white flowers and colour them your self to match your designs.


You can but Isopropyl from the pharmacy and is sometimes referred to as Rubbing Alcohol and it is not expensive. A little goes a long way

Blue and Lemon

Hi Everybody,

Today's combination is pale lemon and a beautiful blue and I think they look wonderful together.

It is such a refreshing colour scheme that looks elegant at the same time.

I have used the 5x7 Card and Box set and topped it with some layers from the Ornate Nesting rectangles.

Snuggled in behind the flowers are the Delicate Pearly Swirls dotted with blue pearls  and the leaves are from the Daisy Flourish Flowers

And they all sit on top of the Flourish Embossing Folder panel

I would be more than happy to receive a card like this and it would sit on display for everybody to see.

More tomorrow ...
