Free Embossing Folder

 Hi Everybody,

Would you like to have a free embossing folder ?

            Then you can choose from five when you buy the Half Scallop Bundle from Craft Stash.

Embossing folders will give you such a pretty backdrop for any of you projects and they help to finish the card rather than leaving a plain blank space.

I use them a lot in my card making and there is a lot that you can do with folders once you have them 

These are the five choices that are available to you with your purchase and all you need to do is add the code CMMEF at the checkout with your choice and it will be added to your basket automatically.

I have added the links below to include the Craft Stash US website to make it easier for my  US readers.

Rounded Edges

 Hi Everybody,

To me using dies is such a useful way to create my cards. And since I discovered them many years ago I have never stopped using them.  

They were very expensive at that time and I would save for moths and then go to the Craft Shows and buy what I needed.

But now the cost of them has come down so much and the shapes and styles have all taken such a leap forward that there is so much to chose from.

This card has the Rounded Edges added to each of the layers which gives it a soft and feminine feel.

In each of these new die sets ... Torn Edges and Rounded Edges  ... there are a lot of dies to produce layers of different sizes, and so giving you a lot choice and scope with them. 

For the featured card I have used he Rounded Edges as my base card and topped it with the Oval from the Nested Frames Set.

But again they could be made into a Shaker Frame or any other style of card you  prefer.

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.
