Embellishments Kit

This is the latest kit. It's an expansion kit that goes with any of the kits I've published so far.

There are 6 designs that can be used in various ways with either greeting cards or on scrapbooking pages.

Gothique Scrap(K)it Preview

The newest kit 'Gothique' is almost ready.

It's divided in two halves - modern and medieval.

I am hoping to offer the Gothique and the Gothique Expansion Scrap(K)its in my Etsy shop at the beginning of next week. There is still some testing to be done....

However, my lovely tester checked out the first half of the kit. Results can be seen here.

The New L'Hiver (Winter) Kit is Ready

The new kit is ready, tested and assembled and for sale in my MagpieMagic Scrap(K)it shop on Etsy.

It contains even more patterns (well, it will be Christmas soon), frames, and stamps and it's great fun all year round.

Below you can see the colour and black and white patterns (transparencies).


Here you can see the stamps and frames:



And, for all of November and December I am offering these 3 patterns absolutely free to everyone who purchases a kit.

The patterns, frames and stamps are high quality (300dpi) and the patterns are large enough for both greeting cards and scrapbooking. The drawings are detailed and unique.

Check out my tester's verdict on the kit here.

Posters, Goth Designs and T-shirts

Two new designs I made for my new Goth kit (still a work in progress).

The first design was inspired by the 'Day of the Dead'.

The second is inspired by tattoos. I wanted it to be funky, gothic and romantic all at the same time.

I liked both designs so much that I decided to make them available as prints and t-shirts on Redbubble.

I am still working on the kit. It will be divided in two - one part will be the original Gothic and the second part will be the 'new' Gothic.

L'Hiver - Winter Scrap(K)it and Weekend News

Check out my little taster of the L'Hiver - Winter Scenes Scrap(K)it over on MagpieMagic Scrap(K)it. It's not finished yet, but I wanted to show off what I have so far. (There's more to see plus 'breaking news' over on the new blog.)


It's been a busy old month so far, with one kit finished and tested - check out Nunt's Test Report - and another in the making.

I've also done a lot of preserving - from blackberry vodka to apple compote and apple jelly to ketchup. Sloe gin will be made today. (Pictures soon...)

I am also still knitting - this time a cherry red scarf in Malabrigo silk blend with a lovely lace pattern from the Victorian Lace Today book. Although the yarn is not a lace weight, the melon pattern (on the front cover of the book) I've chosen works fabulously, but with all the kits I am working on, it's taking time and only about 1/3 of the scarf is finished.

It's gone very cold and I'd quite happily go into hibernation; although I love sunny cold days, especially when there's snow about, I don't particularly relish the cold nor the wet and grey days we get here in England.

My new calendar from Redbubble arrived yesterday and it was the first chance to see my photo collages all printed on glossy paper. I am so pleased with it. It looks great and the print and paper quality is fab. Big thankyou to Steve for ordering it for me.

Lastly, I updated my blog layout today to allow for three columns rather than two. Thanks to Nunt for the link to the info that allowed me to do this. I've cleaned and tidied up the layout a bit as well whilst I was messing around with it and added a button plus code to the new MagpieMagic Scrap(K)it blog.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

MagpieMagic presents: MagpieMagic Scrap(K)It

I've just started a new blog where I will post my new venture:

MagpieMagic Scrap(K)Its

I'll be publishing my own kits of patterns, digi stamps, and frames within the next month, once they're all finished and ready and have been tested by Nunt over on PiquantPurls.

• The kits will include around 5 coloured and 5 black & white patters, five frames, and five stamps, all matching a theme. The first pack will be 'Butterflies' and should be extremely pretty and fun. I'll also include a small booklet with tips and tricks on how to use the contents of the kit.
  
  
• The kits are designed for crafters and for personal use rather than commercial use. This means they can be used on items you make - cards, scrap book pages etc - and then sold or given away, however you cannot sell the kits themselves or any of the contents of the kit in any shape or form. If you want to use the patterns, stamps and/or frames in a commercial context, contact me and I am sure we can come to some arrangement. A detailed policy will be posted later this month.
  
  
• The kits will be available directly through this the MagpieMagic Scrap(K)it blog and in my new Etsy shop once I've set it up. :-)
