Magic Window Card Tutorial

 

Here is the Tutorial for these Magic Window Cards

Good Thursday Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all having a good day, hugs to those that are feeling rough, especially Janet & Sue, also those of you that are coping with the same daily struggles XXX  

We had another glorious day here yesterday, I know I keep saying it but the biggest buzz for me is getting the washing dry, I event did a mid week refresh of our bed sheets just because I knew they would be dry without having the dryer on for ages, although we definitely forgot to put the bedding on the bed before we went out to the Cinema so that gave me major regrets when we got back at after 11pm and still had to make the bed, when all I wanted to do was flop into it.  It was worth it though as there is no greater pleasure that clean, fresh bedding, not that it helped me sleep though, I think the emotional rollercoaster film we saw at the cinema and a few other 'sad frustrations' were playing on my mind, I laid for about 45 minutes trying to relax and try different methods of encouraging sleep but nothing worked so I played a card game and did a Sudoku, which worked eventually!  I have a quiet day on my own today as Paul is in the office, so I think I will have a play with my new Tim Holtz Mixed media Mat. You can't beat a bit of messy crafting to keep your mind busy!  It looked really good and one thing I have struggled with the 'smooshing ' technique, I have always used my glass mat, the inks just pool together, in the video demonstrating the mat Tim explained exactly why that happens and that on this mat and any 'proper' craft mat (not oven tray liner alternatives).  I was watching as he smooshed his inks and they just sat in their little area with the tiny little spots and dots that give so much interest when we smoosh!  So watch this space, I will let you know how I get on with it, now that I finally have it in my hands! 

Today I have shared some 'Magic Window' cards, as you open the card the two side pieces open up to reveal a hidden message or picture, it really is a 'Fun' card that will no doubt bring a smile to its recipient.  I have linked the video in the photo above and as a link below for you to click on and watch at your leisure.  Sonia followed the 'Twist & Pop' tutorial the other day and I can't wait to show you the card she made, it is stunning!!
