Catching up and a Fairy Card

 Hello crafting friends.  It's been a few months since I've posted anything other then my DT cards.  It's been a few months of trying to heal from different illnesses starting with a small fall which led to almost 4 weeks of pain in my ribs.  Somehow I managed to crunch my floating ribs on impact.  Just a small fall off a curb and onto my knees.  In fact there was nothing on my knees to show for it.  That set off a series of illnesses and to be short and sweet I'm just sick of being sick!  Hopefully I'm finally on the way to full recovery and getting ready to enjoy my Summer and Summer holidays.

Through all of the above, I've still been able to make cards for my family for various events from Valentine Day's cards, which I have not shared, to today when my little Emma had her 11th birthday party.  So when you see Valentine cards, Easter cards, etc. on my posts, at least you'll know that I haven't lost my marbles (not yet anyway 😀), I'm just catching up on posts.

I'll start with the card I made for my little Emma who loves fairies.  Since I wasn't feeling that great, I started going through my pile of card kits. It's so much easier when everything is all together and already sorted out for you 😀 This card is made from supplies from Hunkydory's toppers and backgrounds called a Touch of Magic.

My OCD would not allow the glue dots to be seen, so I cut out a shadow piece of the fairy out of white cardstock and adhered it to the inside. I also added a plain white piece of cardstock to cover the sides. This way, it all looks nice and neat and my OCD is at peace 😀


I added my greeting and a couple of lil roses to the back of the card.  This is where I wrote my message.


When the card is closed and ready to place in envelope, it measures 7" x 5".
My little Emma loved it, so mission accomplished!

Materials used:
Hunkydory - A Touch of Magic Decoupage Toppers
Hunkydory - A Touch of Magic Brilliant Backgrounds
Kat Scrappiness - Happy Birthday w/Shadow Die

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I will have a few more "catching up" posts in the next few days.  I hope you'll come back and visit again.

Crafty hugs,
