My little corner of Blogland where I can share my creations with you. There are many video tutorials as well as links to good quality websites for all your crafting needs.
Well what a surprise to day ... the sun is shining and it really is very pleasant, after all that rain yesterday. Ruby and I will be going out later for a little walk, though it will be too muddy in the woods. We will stay on the promenade this time where it will be clean and dry.
I have done the draw for the quirky Shine Bright Stamp and Die Set from Sheena Douglass and the winner today is
Tina Zapusek
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 would be pleased if you could let me know that you have it safely and I rally hope that you will enjoy playing and designing with it.
Today sees the opportunity for you to own this fabulous stamp and die set called Shine Bright from Sheena Douglas
It is an A4 stamp set with lots of light bulb images for you to adapt to suit your designs as well as sentiments for many occasions that will fit also.
The four piece die set will also cut out the bulb images so that you can add them separately to your cards.
The magazine is Simply Cards & Papercraft and is guaranteed to be a good read with our morning coffee .... or afternoon tea !!
Now if this is something that you would like then all you need to do is leave me a comment at the end of this post with your FULL NAME
Be sure to come back and see if you are the winner on Sunday as I have no way of contacting you if you don't.
Today sees the launch of a brand new pack called Butterfly Blossoms and it has beautiful filigree butterflies in there for you to add to your cards.
There are also some solid shaped butterflies, in colours and just white, that can be turned into easel cards, shaker cards or simply used as the shape to the card itself.
It is designed to help those that are new to card making as well as the more seasoned one of us that likes to make a quick but beautiful card
There is so much you can do with this pack and the papers are really pretty.
Some of them are foiled and there are many many sentiments for you to add.
For this card I have added the filigree butterfly to the top of a shaped plain one that has been covered in the paper.
Each portion of the pack can be bought individually
Here I have tried to give you some ideas on how to use the pack but I am sure that you will come up with many more as you start to play
For this card I have added the plain shape to a card front and then topped it with silver one from the paper pack and a sentiment.
Alter the size of the card too and create DL or Slimline cards as well as the larger sizes.
The world is your oyster ... so they say.
And you don't have to use the whole shape. Trim it down to fit your design and see what a difference that makes.
For this DL card I have used the papers from the pack and added the filigree shape to a plain one. I have allowed the wings to be free to give some movement to them
Have fun and you will be amazed at just how many cards you can create from this collection
I have been playing again and this time I have been creating a rainbow look with my wax seals.
I bought some more beads from Amazon in Matt colours and they came the day after I ordered them at a really good price too.
I also got some more spoons so that I could melt things a little quicker
I have included the links to the items that I got from Amazon in the list below.
The stamps I have had for donkeys years and although I have searched online for them I cannot find them and so they may no longer be available.
But you can always make ink blobs yourself or use any stamp that you like to create the look.
I have another idea that I will share with you later this week again using the wax seals and I will use the new spoons that I bought as they have a lot deeper pan to them ... which I will need for my next attempt with them.
