Birthday Lilac ...

Hi Everybody,

This card is based on a similar style as yesterdays.

But a change of flowers and colour scheme as well as sentiment make it look different .

This one is for my friends Birthday this week and this is her favorite color.

The cards itself is lovely in real life and I know she is going to love it.

The beautiful lace along the right hand side is some that I had in my "Stash" and it is truly lovely. Just perfect for a special friend.

Here is glimpse of the inside and I have added a tag to be able to sign the card.

The flowers are a secretion from Wild Orchid Crafts 

The Diamante to match the Fancy Tags three is from Want2Scrap  and makes a statement piece of the sentiment.

I like this card and the one from yesterday too and both are for very special occasions.

I will be very happy to give this one to my friend.

And I can't wait to hear what the recipients of yesterdays card have to say about it.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Drum Roll Please ....

Hi Everybody,

I have had several emails telling me about this publication that is on the newsagents shelves today.

It is a UK magazine called Quick Cards Made Easy and each month it highlights websites and names them as Website Of The Month.....

And this month I am so proud to say that 

"Card Making Magic" is featured as the website to visit for Techniques

How cool is that ????  What an honor to be named as such.

Having wonderful followers to the website and now this  makes all my hard work so very worth it.

Oh my !!  I am so pleased I am grinning from ear to ear ....

More tomorrow ...

Pretty in Pink ...

Hi Everybody,

My Grand-daughter, Robyn,  has been asked to be God-Mother to her friends daughter  and she is so pleased about it.

So she asked me if I would make her a Special Card for the parents to keep and this is what I came up with.

The request was for pink and flowery and it is certainly that.

The pink foiled card is some that I bought from Cardcraft Plus on my trip out to Preston on Monday

The inside has just been decorated with a little tag for Robyn to sign her name.


The pretty baby feet ribbon is from The Ribbon Room 

The card used is white hammered card and pink Centura Pearl from Crafters Companion 

The flowers are a mixture of Tulips, Carnations, Roses and another one I can't remember the name of ... soreeee !!

 More tomorrow ...

The Peacock ...

Hi Everybody,

Here is the Peacock from Tattered Lace and this is the first time I have used this die.

Cutting the die out gives you a really filigree look so I traced around the die and cut  it by hand to  produce the solid background piece to add the filigree too.

The white layer has been embossed  with the Basket Weave folder from Creative Studios and to this I added a panel of silver foiled lilac card.

The frame was created around this panel and added with foam pads to give the depth.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are a mixture of Tulips, Carnations  and Roses.

All have been glittered with Glamour Dust and some punched leaves tucked in behind them.  It makes a very pretty card and I will be using it again in the not too distant future.

More tomorrow...

Tomorrow Holds ...

Hi Everybody,

This card uses the same Glitter card as yesterdays... but for this one I have stayed away from the Christmas theme

I have used a mixture of dies and layered them all together with foam pads for height.

The ribbon is from my "Stash" and the Dazzler covering the knot  is from Creative Studios

The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley and it has been heat embossed in silver

The pearly flourish is from Want2Scrap and is tucked just under the edge of the ribbon and centre panel.

I visited the Hobby Craft  shop in Preston yesterday and  bought my self the gorgeous Peacock die from Tattered Lace ... so that just might be the inspiration for tomorrows card

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
