Handmade Pokey Tools
I used these really cheap Turkey Lacers from Amazon for the base and I have literally hundreds of beads in my craft room, from when I used to make the hatpins that I added to my cards.
There are other ways to use up beads, old zips and wire and here are just a few ideas that you may like to try, most of them are videos.
Creating a Pearl Spray Adding a pearl spray to your card Creating A Pearl Flower
Creating Zipper Rose Decorating Hatpins Working with beads
And here is the video to show the Pokey Tools and who knows you may be lucky enough to get one of these in with the Friday Freebie.

Old dies and stamps
Todays cards are created with a really old stamp set that has a matching die and it is from Heartfelt Creations.
I stamped and cut out lots of flowers for use in the future, but I don't know if the set is still available as I have had it for years.
I coloured them all with the Alcohol Markers from Craft Stash and I am quite pleased with the results.
I roughened up the edges of the knitted card and then added some lace underneath and along the bottom of the card.

Knitted Background Card
This is the card I bought at last weeks craft show and it is the knitted background from Anna Marie Designs.
This particular piece was the cover card in the front of the pack and rather than waste it I turned it into a card front instead.
It shows you all the colours that are in the actual pack and it is really petty card.
The sentiment I have had for some time and they are also from a craft show that I went to.
I chose the grey from the pack and the hearts are some that I did from Acetate and the
technique shown in the video above
The flowers and leaves are also cut from smooth white card and coloured with Distress Oxides
This link will take you to me website where there are nose photos of the same technique
Caught In Crystal Technique
I have added some white splattering to this card and a couple of butterflies for effect.
I really like this knitted card and the finish is suitable for male or female cards.

Tina Zapusek - Winner
Hi Everybody,
It’s damp and dull here today but as long as it’s not raining I will be out for a dog walker later this morning. It isn’t cold though so that’s a blessing and I feel that spring is on its way.
I took both Ruby and Dougal off down the prom at St Anne’s yesterday and that is a good walk that they both enjoy. They can have a good run on the beach as well and play chase with each other, and there are usually lots of other dogs on there as well.
But for today I have done the draw for Fridays offering and the name drawn out of the hat is
Tina Zapusek
Would you email your postal address please to
christina@card-making-magic.com
and the pack will be on the way to you, and I would be happy if you could let me know that you have it safely. Enjoy !!!
More tomorrow…
Hugs xx
