Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Thank you so much if you joined me for the “LIVE” Craftalong on Wednesday and apart from the hiccup at the start when I couldn’t get the camera to point down to the desk, I think the rest of it  went quite well.

I recognised many names that where there but because I also couldn’t get my iPad to connect I couldn’t answer any of the questions or comments that you made. I have since been back in to the page and done what I could. So thank you again if you joined me.

The sun is shining here today but I know some parts of the country have been badly flooded with the latest storm. I feel so sorry for you and I hope you have managed to get a .title but straighter now the storm has passed. It must be dreadful for you especially with the pandemic as well.

I have now done the draw for yesterday’s offering of the magazine with the scoreboard and the winner is 

Maria Muller

Would you email me your postal address please to 

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it in the post to you as soon as I can. Please let me know that you have it safely and I hope you put it to good use.

More tomorrow...

Friday Freebie - Scoreboard & Bone Folder

Hi Everybody,

So todays offering is a really useful piece of equipment that most card makers use on a daily basis.

I don't make a  card without using my Scoreboard as it gives me neat lines to fold my cards and eliminates any cracking on the spine, and there is a bone folder in the pack as well.

It also helps me to create different shapes and in the magazine you will find some hints and tips on how to use it to get these card shapes or your self.

If you would like this then all you have to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME and be sure to come back and see if it is your name that is listed  as the winner over the weekend.

I cannot stress enough that if you do not leave your full name then your comment will NOT be added into the draw

More tomorrow ...

Making Vases from Die Cuts

Hi Everybody,

As promised I have now completed the video that shows how I made the style of vase shown from die cuts.

I have used the Pentagon Bauble Easel to make the shape and this one has been painted in Arteza Metallic Blue and then dry brushed with gold

But while I was making another vase I thought it would be a good idea to show all three sizes that can be had from the dies

And so this photos shows you all the sizes side by side.

I kept to one basic colour scheme for effect, and I gave them a coat of clear gloss varnish and let them dry. 

They can all be displayed together as one collection, or kept individual for flowers. 

They are not waterproof though so only add faux lowers to them .I know they won't be around for a lifetime and they are not going to become family heirlooms, but I had fun making them and they do look kind of pretty on my shelf

Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Today dawns bright and clear even if it is cold and a bit damp. Ruby and I will wrapping up good and warm and we will  be going for a little walk along the sea front later. My walking is getting much better as long as I don’t over do it, and rest once I get back home. It’s just nice to get out in the fresh air and look at the sea again.

The draw from yesterday’s offer has been done and the name this week is 

Maggie Gardner

Would you email me your postal address please to

christina@card-making-magic.com

and I will get it in the post to you straight away. Please let me know when it arrives with you and I hope you enjoy playing with your gift.
