Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Elegant Nestables Collection - US A2

 Hi Everybody,

This A2 card is from the new collection and it creates an American A2 sized card. This is their preferred size as it keeps the postage down.

For the one shown I have added the die cut to an A2 base but in the video I have also added one to a 5x7 card as that is my favourite size to make.

All the cards are created in turquoise and a mat gold card that I got from Craft Stash. The little piece of gingham card shown here is some that I have had for a long time 

The ribbon I have also had for some time but it fitted into the slots just right and so that is why I used it on this card.


                     
Once again I hope you enjoy the video and I will be adding more using this collection.

More tomorrow ...

Winner

Hi Everybody,

Another Saturday rolls up and they seem to come round so quickly I can't keep up. It's not very bright here today, but it is not cold. 

I had a bad migraine yesterday and Ruby was taken care of by Vickie, who she took her to sleep at her house. I went to bed at 7.30 but I am glad to say that I feel much better today. I have not had a migraine head headache for a while now but I know when one is on its way as my vision goes wavy and I feel really sick. They are not pleasant things to have.

Anyway the draw has been done this morning and the name this week is

Ursula Longworth

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.

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

REMINDER

Don't forget to join Lou Collins at 5pm and 8pm today on The Craft Store for the launch of the new Elegant Nestables. I have some good videos coming up this week using this collection.

 More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Tropical Frame

Hi Everybody,

I have another of the Tropical Frame die sets to give away this week and it comes with the Die Cutting Essentials magazine as well

This is a  really good read that is full of ideas and inspiration for you to try.

So if you would like this offering then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME.

I say it every week ... but if you don't leave your full name then you will not be entered into the draw. So if you feel like you never win then maybe you need  to check your comments and make sure that your full name is there.  

The reason for this is because it makes it easier to find the winner, should two or even three of you, have the same first name. So please oblige and leave your name then you will be in with the chance

More tomorrow ...

Elegant Nestables - 5x7 Rectangles + Ovals

 Hi Everybody,

Saturday the 5th November sees the launch of a brand new collection called Elegant Nestables and this is the 5x7 Rectangles.

They are being shown on The Craft Store with Lou Collins and I have sent many samples with her for you to see. 

These dies can all be used separately to create some beautiful cards and they will also work together. 

All are designed to work with all the previous box collections that have been released in the past.

I am so pleased with the delicate lacey look to this collection and I love to dress them up with flowers, ribbons and pearls.

This video will show you how I used the rectangles, and even combined it with the Ovals and I will be adding more for the other sets as I go along. 

                       
So I hope you will be able to join Lou this Saturday at 5pm and 8pm as she introduces you to the 
Elegant Nestables Collection 
from 
Card Making Magic

More tomorrow ...

More from Clever Cuts


 Hi Everybody,

Today I have been playing with the Clever Cuts Collection again and I have created two really lovely cards in more of the Silver & White.

This is such a special combination and would suit any occasion at any time of the year.

There are two cards created in the video and one is for a Wedding. 

But the other would be prefect for a winter or Christmas birthday, or even a Christmas card.

I hope you enjoy the video and all the items I have used are linked at the bottom of the page.

They are affiliate links which means if you purchase through those links I will get a small commission at not extra cost to yourself. But it does help my channel and blog to grow so it is all much appreciated.

                     
The video is not too long but yo will have time for a cuppa as you watch. 
And if you like lacey and fancy cards then this one is for you.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
