Magenta Card Exchange - Come join us on Face Book

Hi Everyone, Magenta Face book has a monthly card exchange organized by Mariette van Leeuwen.
If you have any Magenta stamps and "Friend" Magenta Style Passion Group you can come play along with us. It's so much fun sending and receiving beautiful cards.
 
 

 
Magenta Card Chain November 2020 – International

For this Magenta Card Chain you will get 1 address from me to send a handmade card. And you will receive 1 card from another participant. A handwritten greeting inside would be a great way to send some extra happiness. In other words, don`t leave the inside blank, so everyone will know who to thank.
Your card can be in any style you like, but of course we like to see Magenta stamps and stencils used.

Sign ups OPEN: between now & November 5th 2020
RECIPIENTS:
Recipients will be assigned between November 6th– 7th. After this date you will get an email or pm from me with 1 address. You will send a Magenta handmade card to this person.
SENDING:
All cards must be sent by November 15th 2020 so all will receive their card hopefully before end of November. Please bear in mind mail delivery is a bit slower as usual. If for some reason you are unable to make the deadline, please be so kind and let me know on my PM and I will let your receiver know. If you`re sending your card out of the country, please remember to send them as early as possible.

* You must be willing to send your card internationally as the receiver may reside overseas.

* You will commit to getting them mailed no later than November 15th.

* When you receive your card, take a photo and post it here on the Magenta Style - Passion Studio facebook group, so we can all see the pretty cards and the sender will know it has arrived.

So what are you waiting for?
If you would like to participate, please send to me by pm:
- your full address
- email address or if you wish I can send you only PM here on facebook
- and leave a comment to this post letting us know you are joining in the fun
The only requirement for participation is that you are active on our Magenta Style - Passion Studio, and you will use Magenta products on your cards.

I hope many will join in the fun

CAS Christmas Card Challenge - Non Traditional colours

Hi Everyone can you believe it's already November and this is our last CAS Christmas challenge for the year, OMG what happened 😅. To add insult to injury I spoke to my local post office this week and they told me to get my Christmas cards in the mail really early this year as is going to take a lot longer to travel out of county. The traditional mailing dates aren't going to apply.
 
So onto the Challenge, Trina is our host this month and would like us to pull out our Non Traditional Christmas colours. Vicky (Crafting Clare's Paper Moments) our guest designer who along with the CAS team have some great inspiration for you all to get those last few cards done.


My non traditional colours are orange and yellow on a poinsettia stencil and the sentiment stamped and coloured with pencils in the same colours. I used Wink of Stella at the centre of the flowers, you'll have to take my word as you can't see any of that wonderful sparkle in the picture.
 

A QCAS card which I might make more in a other colours.

I'm entering this for the following Challenges
