Torn Edges

Hi Everybody,

Todays card shows the Torn Edges whcih are a new addition to Card Making Magic. 

I like to use these because they give a different appearance to your designs with out any effort on my part. 

They can also be used to create frames, of many sizes and thickness to the frame, and that can be utilized  on to any project you are making.

Here I have added my frames to a die cut panel to fill in the area but this could just as easily have been made into a shaker card.

This card has had some designer card added into the panel and each frame has been added with foam tape around the edges. 

The flowers add that touch of luxury to the card and they of course have been dotted with glitter.

The dies them selves just leave a very sophisticated finish to the edges and I really enjoy playing with this finish for any of my cards.

More tomorrow ...

Winner

 HI Everybody,

Another week gone by and another one closer to Christmas, which I must admit is not my favourite time of the year. I do however love Autumn and September has to be my favourite month. But now into October and things are starting to get cooler and today it is very windy here.

Nothing like the US has had over the last few months and I have had a heart breaking email from one of my blog readers, who has very sadly lost her home and all her possession in Hurricane Ian.
Would you please say a prayer for Kathy Olsen in Florida  and hope that things will start to look better for her and her family soon.
Kathy has been the winner of my Friday Freebies in the past but now all her crafting items have gone also.

My heart goes out to you Kathy and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. 

But for this weeks FF the name has been chosen at random from the comments that have been left and today it is ...

Winifred Kennedy 

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 be sure to let me know that you have it safely and I hope that you enjoy playing with it.

Words, words, words!

Hi Everybody,

Today I am sharing some more words cards using the Alphabet die sets in my collection.

This card is so easy to make and don't forget that you can also use the other portion on another card.

The flower is once again the Layered Flowers stamps die set. I have added this to an embossed panel

The blue pearls are from Want2Scrap and they are self adhesive flat backed ones that can be added anywhere.

It can also be helpful to have the Lower case Alphabet to go with the Upper Case as this extends your usage so much more.

For this card I have cut the word from some Dotty card and added them to a stamped background.

 And for this I have added some numbers to balloons as a Birthday Card.

This is something that would be useful for any cards you make for children, as they love to show off their ages, unlike adults who like to hide theirs!!

More tomorrow ...
