Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Need to share this ....

Hi Everybody,

Well the first thing I need to share is the name of the Friday Freebie winner and that is you

 Margaret Corgi owner

You need to email me please ... christina@card-making-magic.com ... with your land address and the card will be on it's way to you.  You have 48 hours to claim the card and I hope you will like it when it arrives.

But the second thing I needed to share will hopefully make you laugh.

I was upstairs in my craft room when the doorbell rang and I knew that Griff was downstairs and would answer the door.

I heard a commotion and then after a short while Griff came upstairs.

He told me that I had got a parcel but he would need a lift getting  it up to my craft room.

He asked me "What on earth have you been buying coz you'll never fit it on a card" .... and this was the parcel.

I laughed my socks off  ...  it is huge and filled the doorway.

And no it's not for me ... it is a wardrobe for next door and the delivery man asked Griff  if he would take it in until the neighbors  came home.

Oh my .... never a dull moment with my hubby 

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Turquoise Gingham ...

Hi Everybody,

This is a  card using  the Grand Squares and I have layered up two shades of turquoise with white.

The pretty Gingham ribbon is from Mei Flower  and I have tied it into a double bow and added a glittery centre from Wild Orchid Crafts


The flowers are a mixture of WOC flowers but also the large one  that has been rolled from Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One

The sentiment is from Crafters Companion  and it has been stamped in turquoise and clear embossed.

It is a pretty card as always looks much better in real life.

The flowers are sparkled with Glitter Magic

I hope you will pop in tomorrow for the Friday Freebie and leave me your comments if you want to win

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Sweet Sixteen ...

Hi Everybody,

Because of all the cards that have been sold on Etsy I am now getting orders for specific designs.

This was requested especially for a daughters 16th birthday and the remit was pink and flowery.... and I am always happy to oblige with that kind of request.

I have the buyers permission to add it to a blog page and so here it is.

And once again I have to say it is much better in real life than the picture shows.
I have used flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts  and they are sparkled with Glitter Magic

Into them I have added a  pretty pink Hatpin  made from Diamante and glass beads... and it can be removed

I have double layered the ribbon with plain pink and the Gingham Ribbon is from Mei Flower  with a large pearl and Diamante centre.

The pearl flourishes along each side of the card are from  Want2Scrap  and they add the luxury touch

The inside has the pocket and tag for the signature or greeting to the recipient of the card.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Lili of The Valley

Hi Everybody,

These are some cards I made way back in 2011 and long before I discovered Spectrum Noir so no color list for this one.

But the Wild Orchid Crafts  flowers can be see in great abundance even then... as is the few Spellbinders that I had back then

The round  sentiment and the images are all  from
  Lili of the Valley
Making this style of card was covered in a video tutorial that I did at that time.

I am adding the link here for you to the actual  website page   Making a Card ... Inside and Out

I have moved on  lot from this these days but I still do a dry run with the elements before I glue anything in place.







The cards are all 15 cm squares and I also did another tutorial to follow this on making the boxes to go with this sized card.

It all seems so long ago when I watch these tutorials, but they are as useful now as they ever have been.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
