"  Not sure why its called a magic card though.  Seen these around blog land so thought I'd give it a go. Totally loving it, so different from a standard square card and a little elegant looking too. "

" Coloured TEDDYBOBEA_087 with pro-markers.
I have used a mixture of DCWV - LINEN CLOSET and FIRST EDITION - ISABELLE.

Both are my favorite papers and colour combinations.

SO LUSH!

 MARTHA STEWART punch been used at the edge of the card.

 Small snow flakes are buttons - got these from HOBBY CRAFT. 

Strange me not having flowers but the card didn't really need any - plain but looks sweet."

Tammy as placed a link on her blog for this tutorial.

 I had to use this image TeddyBea _169, and remembered I had this cute paper with umbrellas that would be perfect for it!!Its called "its raining , its pouring". I added the sentiment from the paper kit, Rain or Shine, You're a Friend of Mine! 3 buttons, and a bow! I colored the image with promarkers. After I coloured it I clear embossed the rain coat and hat and boots.  Then I added some glossy accents to the puddle for a bit of dimension!

The papers are from Papermania, and are called At Christmas Time. I have coloured Teddy Bea-168 in with Promarkers. The flowers are made with my tonic punches, All I have added is a little ribbon. Isn't she just sooooo cute!!!

Hazel

I have chosen TEDDYBO_153 coloured with prisma's and copics.

I also added black glaze pen to his eyes and nose to give it some shine, and some clear glitter pen to the bow on his candy cane.

I used papers by Dovecraft's Noel stack and my EK Success punch across the middle.  I put silver glitter paper behind the stars and moons to match the silver glitter strips. The punched out stars were added around Bo and coloured with the clear glitter pen.

The inside reads " You'll never guess what I bought you for Christmas" as my Dad always tries to guess what we have bought him by feeling the pressie.

and here are Renee's and Liz's cards with my Steampunk stamps available at http://www.wonderlandstamps.co.uk/

Renee

This is my first attempt at Steampunk! I went bright...using purple, blue and green. I colored the framed image with a terracotta color, making it look old and rusty i guess...and added some stickles to the beetle and some rhinestones to the wings, and a bit of clear embossing to the padalock. For the girl i colored her with the colors and clear embossed the "metal" parts to add some demention and then I had this copper heart i cut out of sheet of thing copper...it was rusted already. I then added a metal button with some brown string.i popped her off the page with 3d dots! fun! Added the sentiment, used the bo bunny cambridge plaid paper.

Liz

...it's my first attempt , be gentle. I have had a bit of a play before, but nothing I could share! The Wonderland Stamps made it much easier to pull off! Well, I hope I pulled it off.

 For this card I have used TeddyBoBea-082, I have coloured it in with Promarkers and then layered the top part of the easel frame up, the papers and frame are from the ClipArt Fairy. I just LOVE the ribbon its its sooooo cute and I think goes just perfectly with this card.
