Love

Hi Bloggers.

Hard to know which sample to share first from the Pick of the Week that Sue is launching today at 12noon on Create & Craft. I've settled on this one as the Grand Dies are some of my favourites on the show and I just love the stamp on this card.

I stamped the Damask Heart (which is one of the new mounted and cut singles stamps from Creative Expressions) using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Copper Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest of the Spellbinders Grand Decorative Labels One dies keeping the stamped heart towards the top. I inked through the die with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I cut the next 2 sizes of Grand Decorative Labels One and inked through the dies with Vintage Photo.


I stamped the sentiment (which comes with the Damask Heart) using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Copper Detail Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Die- D-Lites Ornamental Tags One and inked through the die with Vintage Photo.

I tied a bow using Brown/Ivory Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. I pressed a Fancy Pearl Embellishment into a Perfect Medium Pad, sprinkled with Copper Powder, tapped off the excess and heat set.

I assembled the card as shown using quite deep 3d foam for the Grand die cuts. I think the finished result looks a bit like a cake so ideal for weddings (oops! back on that theme again!).

All the times for the shows this week are in the left-hand side of this blog. Hope you can tune in.

Before I go I'd like to give a shout out for Tracey. She's made some of the samples for the shows this week.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  30. Hi Julia

    LOVE that stamp, a gorgeous card, fairly simple to achieve too. Good design that I'd guess could be done with similar dies.

    Hugs,
