Designer Card Front Dies

Hi Everybody, 

Today I am using an older die set and this was part of the Designer Card Front Collection released some time ago now.

I did several videos using these sets and thought it was time to ad another to the mix.

The colour scheme is not my usual and I must admit that I do not use orange or yellow very much. 

But I do like these cards and they look much prettier in the hand.

I used a mixture of flowers and leaves on them from foam ones that I made myself to silk ones that I bought ages ago.

This card to the left is a Gatefold created from the die set and I used the border die to produce the Belly Band just to add a little difference to the design. 

I hope you enjoy the video, it is long enough for you to have a cuppa with it ... and don't forget the biscuits too

More tomorrow ...

Cards from Ann

Hi Everybody,

A little while ago I mentioned that it was a good idea to rummage through your left overs and see what can be used on a card.

These card photos have been sent from Ann Topp and with her permission I am sharing them here. 

Ann leaves regular comments on my blog and so it is a pleasure to share her makes here, and I am so glad that she used up all her bits and pieces. 

It is far better than simply tossing them into the rubbish bin and the cards it creates can be a simple, or intricate, as you have the bits for. 

This one is my favourite and Ann makes them for the ladies in her line dancing class.

I am sure they will all be delighted with their card all made especially for them by their lovely friend Ann.

Thanks for sharing Ann.

If you would like to have some of your cards shown on the blog then send them to

christina@card-making-magic.com

But don't forget to give me your permission to share them when you do.

More tomorrow ...

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
