Decorative Corners Collection

 Hi Everybody,

Today I am using an older die set from the

Decorative Corners Collection and teaming it with other dies and an embossing folder

This beautiful die set is the Celebration Corner and there are five other sets to choose from all of which will make beautiful cards

The video is not long, as I know many people prefer shorter ones, but I hope you will enjoy it any way, and maybe try this for your self.  

You could also turn this into a gift envelope if you wanted and I have videos on my channel that can show you how I did that. It would be perfect to put a gift card or money into for someone special.

                   

            

I have made mine in silver and white to use for a wedding but the colours could be matched to the wedding theme if needed.

And of course the back looks pretty too.

More tomorrow ...

Winner

Hi Everybody,

Well guess who forgot to alter the clock and has been all out of sync this morning because of it. Ruby and I went for a walk and got wet in the rain, only to find out that if we had waited a little longer then the rain would have passed. But because of the time difference I went thinking it was getting late when it actual fact it wasn't.

Still we are home again now and dry again and I have only just done the draw for the Poinsettia from Friday. So the name today is ...

Betty McAlister

so if you would send me your postal address please to
christina@card-making-magic.com
I will get it in  the post to your straight away.

I hope you will enjoy the gift and the magazine and please be sure to let me know that you have it safely.

More tomorrow ...

Coffee and Cream ...

 Hi Everybody,

Over the past few weeks I have been playing around with Tik Tok  with the very helpful guidance of Sam Calcott.

She uses it very successfully and she has been trying to show me what to do.

My great grand-daughter, who is 10, added the App to my phone, and did a far better job of it than I could have done.

I am not very technical and my first offerings are not that clever but at least I am trying.

This card is one of the ones I did using the Tik Tok app and with Sam's help I am improving, but it is a slow process for me.

Anyway this card used Kraft Card and to me this is an often overlooked card stock. I have teamed it with cream and I think the end result is quite pretty. Take off the flower and it would certainly suit a male card.

Sneaky Peak ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a new collection that will be launching soon and I am really excited as it is simply gorgeous. Very lacey, very elegant and so very very useful to create my style of cards. 

On the 5th November Lou Collins will be showcasing my latest release, Elegant Nestables, on The Craft Store TV channel at 5pm and 8pm,  and this is just to introduce you to the Elegant Nestables

The featured card is created as an A5 size in gold and turquoise card. I have used several of the die sets to show that they can all be used either together, or separately as suits you.

As we get nearer to the date I will be adding more samples to show you, but this card is just one of the ones that will be in the show.

I will also be adding videos covering all the parts to this collection from A5 to Slimline cards. 

I really hope that you will like it as much as I do and it works well with every sized box set that is also in my previous releases. I have added the links as yet but it is not released with Craft Stash until the 10th November

More tomorrow ...
