Shaving Foam Framed Card

Hi Everybody,

This card started life as one complete shaving foam panel but using the Torn Edge Dies I created a frame and also added the centre portion with foam pads to raise it up.

The plain blue layer is embossed and just peeps through the frame and around the edges for a really pretty look.

The flowers are Mulberry flower that I got from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have had them for ages. But sadly WOC do not ship to the UK anymore. 

They must have lost a lot of customers because of that.

I added a video showing the technique for shaving foam a while ago and here is the link again in case you missed it.   Shaving Foam Technique

It is very easy to and very cheap if you buy the least expensive shaving foam you can get. But I must admit it can be a bit messy.

Margaret Wilkie - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

Since I kept the date for entry into the Friday Freebie open for longer it seems to have backfired on me.
I did it to give overseas visitors the chance to add their comments as they are not getting an email about it until a day later than the UK.

I also decided to add the winners name into the title of the page so that it would be more obvious and visible to readers. But you will need to come back and check for yourself.

But since then I have had three occasion were the prize has not been claimed, and last week was one of them. I have said in the past that I have no way to contact you as I do not store any personal information,  even if you have won in the past.
 
So if your name is listed as the winner you will need to email me with your postal address.

I also ask that you use your FULL NAME at the end of your comment, and most people do so.
However the odd one does not and I have no idea who they are.
Any of the comments left  by "Anonymous" and no name will not be entered into the draw  !!!!

The winner this week is 

Margaret Wilkie

Thank you for leaving your comment and your full name and
please would you email me your postal address to 
christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get it posted to you just as soon as I can.

More tomorrow ...

Oldie but Goodie ...

Hi Everybody,

Today I thought I would share an older video with you using a die set that was one of my favourites when it was launched a couple of years ago.

This was the Channel Card and this particular design was the Rambling Rose to make beautiful creations.

There were other design in the launch and also stamps to match but this one really caught my eye with the flowers that are in it.

It is very easy to do and you will not be disappointed with your results.

You will find all the Channel Card videos in one Playlist


The video is not long so I hope you enjoy it and if you have the dies then maybe it is time to get them out again and give them another airing.

More tomorrow ...
