Magical Day-Friday Fun



What is your first impression of this card?  Mine was, "This is so cute, I bet Gracie would love it for her birthday." So I looked at how to create it.  I watched a video that Patty Bennett posted and then was ready to go.  It is so much simpler than it looks.

1. Cut the castle from a 3 by 10.5 piece of Smoky Slate card stock. Score at 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 inches.

2. Emboss using the brick embossing folder and sponge using Basic Grey ink.

3. Cut out desired figures from the Myths and Magic designer paper.  This paper is great because there are sparkly parts of one side of each piece.

4. Make the turrets and the top of the castle using the classic label punch.

5. Fold on the scoring lines.  You will have a small 1/2 inch piece that will hold the castle together.  Place tear and tape adhesive along that strip and bring it to the inside to make the castle.

6. Finally, attach your figures where you want them.  The girl is actually a mermaid, so most of her body will be on the inside of the castle.

The handsome knight is preparing to rescue the princess.....



.......from the scary dragon hiding around the corner.

The great thing about this card is that it will fold on two of the score lines and easily fit in an envelope.



Hasn't this been a great week.  I almost did not purchase this suite, but am so glad I did.  

Next week will be Sale a Bration week.  Each day I will feature cards made with the Sale a Bration items.

Magical Day-Template Thursday


  I love a fast an easy card that I can use several stamps or images on.  Today's cards are exactly that.  

1. I created a background by using an aqua painter in a puddle of ink and swirling it back and forth.  

2. I then used that same ink to stamp some stars for the background. 





3. Next, I placed a piece of the Myths and Magic Specialty Washi tape towards the bottom of the card.

4. I cut some of the cute designs from the Myths and Magic designer series paper. I didn't mind the cutting.  There is something about cutting that relaxes me.



5. Finally, I stamped the saying You are One of a Kind from the Magical Day stamp set.  I stamped the You Are and the Of A kind twice and popped it up with mini stampin dimensionals.  Those tiny little dimensionals fit in the spaces that are too small for our regular dimensionals.

I got 3 cute cards with minimal work because they all used the same items and the process was the same.

Tomorrow I will share with you a fun card that I made for my granddaughter's 10th birthday.  I can't wait to hear her reaction, and yours too.  Don't forget to leave a comment on my blog and I will send you one of the cards of the week.

Magical Day-Miscellaneous Monday



  I made it!!!!  Electricity went out for several hours, recovering from a stomach bug and I still am able to get my blog entry for today online.  Yeah!!!

I can't wait to share the cards I have made using this fun stamp set.  


 Today's card uses items from the Myths and Magic suite from the Occasions catalog.  

1. The designer paper is called Myths and Magic and has some sparkly stars in the background. 

2. The Unicorn is stamped and cut out with a matching framelit.  I had to use some Wink of Stella on that cute little animal to make him sparkle also.

3. The saying came from the stamp set in the Annual catalog called You are Remarkable.  Wouldn't you agree that a Unicorn is remarkable?

4, The thin strip of Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper and the heart ad d the last bit of glimmer to the card.  

Tomorrow I will share I card using the masking technique and the dragon from the stamp set.
