Hugs and Kisses

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your comments and emails yesterday. I think that was the most comments I've had on a post so far. Here's the demo card that I didn't quite finish yesterday.

For the background, I ran some Coconut white Card through the Grand Calibur with the Spellbinders Hearts M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern. This is not a repeating pattern - the Tropic Wine American Seam Binding hides the join on this one. I went around the edges with Raisin Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Nature's Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Persian Motifs and inked through the die with Raisin Ink. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Splendid Circles out of Burgundy Card. At the emboss stage I added the Celtic Border Mask.

I made 3 flowers using the Bitty Blossoms die set inking through the dies with Raisin Ink before rolling.


I tied a bow using 3 lengths of the Tropic Wine American Seam Binding and added it to the piece on my background. I added a Black Dazzler to the centre.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Black Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Berry Red (more stock due in soon) around the edges.

Thanks or stopping by.

Julia.

  13. Morning Julia,
    Managed to watch your show after all. Why do the presenters talk so much I know its a shopping channel but they do go on endlessly spoils your demos. In two hours we should see more demos, they always let Barbara Grey do three and sometime four in her shows.

    Enough of my moaning the cards you did manage to demo are just wonderful the colour of today's is lovely.
    Have a good day.

  19. Hi julia this is a lovely card and anyone would be over the moon to receive it.Watched your shows yesterday and I agree with Lydia they really do talk too much during your shows,I know its a shopping channel but don't they realise that we want to see demos not presenters waffling!! As Lydia says in a 2 hour show Barbera Grey gets at least 5 demos, I know yours and sues demos can take longer but you really should be able to do more than 2 demos!!!! Sorry rant over love lesley xx

  26. Hi Julia
    What a fabulous card and I have these dies too, which is even better. I do agree with Lesley, why oh why do the presenters have to waffle on so much and at times waste so much time being plain stupid. Don't they realise the more people see the products used in demo's the more they will sell! Sorry to go on, I don't know how you keep that lovely smile on your face, but I really enjoyed your shows though.

  27. Gorgeous card Julia - elegant colours. I had my rant yesterday over the amount of chat and lack of demos on CC and reading some of the comments today it looks as if I'm not on my own here. However, I do look forward to seeing your shows and I edit out the unwanted bits when I save a recording! love X
