Card project gets underway!

Card Designs and the birth of 'Magpie Design'

Right, well, I've set myself a creative challenge; seeing as I love all things sparkly I've decided to put my talents to good use and come up with a range of cards.

I will be creating a large range of greetings cards for all occassions and events, hobbies and personalities etc...so hopefully there should be a little something for someone, somewhere. I hope at a later stage (all being well) to add wrapping paper and soft fabric based designs to my range of products (book marks, pin cushions, covered books etc). Sooo cross your fingers for me and take a peek at what I've created so far.

Let's get cracking!!!

I've stocked up on card, coloured/patterned papers and fabrics and have got all my bits 'n' bobs ready for a card making marathon.

After a couple of hours positioning random bits of card, and colour coordinating fabrics, I've created my very first two designs - I'm a very happy bean!!!...

The first two designs have been a bit of a trial run, but they've worked out quite well for a first attempt. I'm really happy!

Hopefully I can now get cracking on a range of these (in various colours/fabrics etc) and then can start expanding on other designs...let's see where it takes me! I've already got quite a few ideas brewing and have a few items on my 'To Do' list.

I'm in the middle of also setting up a website called Magpie Design which once completed, will host my cards and gift wrap. There will be an on-line shop for purchase. (Alan Sugar eat your heart out!!) I'll give proper details of websites etc once it's all finalised.

Keep your eyes peeled for details!
