So, at the risk of being boring I have another Never Ending Card to show you today. This one uses my Daisy Bundle. Don't worry - these posts are not never ending - I think I'm done with these for a while now! See you soon - j xx

Is there anything more spectacular than a Never Ending Card? I love making them and recently I made one using the Magnolia Lane DSP. Instead of leaving it as it is though I decided to add a little colour. I coloured the flowers using my Pool Party Blends - have a look at how it turned out: Individual images were cut and adhered to the card and sentiments were also added. It even stands up like a regular card so it can be displayed - take a look See you soon - J xx

Today I have a card to show you that I made for a Facebook swap a while ago. It's a Never Ending Card: it opens and folds in a continuous manner giving it the name "Never Ending" This is the front of the card which opens down the middle This is the next piece - this one opens horizontally across the middle As the card continues this bit opens across the middle again where the two large squares meet. This is my favourite bit and this opens down the middle This is the last bit but this just opens across the middle for it all to start again! For this project I used the gorgeous Free as a Bird set. Although it is primarily a bird set it does have some beautiful floral images as you can see above. Also they are perfect for colouring with your Blends. There are lots of videos on Youtube for you to follow to make this card and it is pretty easy too. Hopefully you will have a go and I will see you soon - J xx

If you saw my card last night you may remember that I said I would make one for the Mid-week Motivation on  Make My Monday  - well here it is This is just a sneaky peek - if you want to see all the layers and all the things that make us girls happy you will have to pop on over to the blog. There is also a link over there to a video tutorial on how to make the Never Ending card so you can all make one yourselves. OK - maybe I will give you another peep That's all though folks - if you want to see the cake you really will have to go to the blog!! See you soon - Jacqueline xx

I have just got back from a craft workshop where I was actually one of the taught and not the teacher and we made a 'Never Ending Card' Jo - our leader had some Papermania kits that were pre-scored which we used as templates to cut our own and then decorate. Here's mine It's the same all through the card - I had some 12" x 12" red paper with me and a few stamps. The stamps I used were from Everything Eleanor, Vintage Vogue, My Friend and Just Believe. The card works by firstly opening the vertical centre sections Then the middle sections are opened horizontally There's another vertical opening to get to the back of the card This is so easy to make - look out for a quick tutorial tomorrow on  Make My Monday . See you soon - Jacqueline xx
