Thinking of You

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

I cut the Spellbinders Die D-Lies Gazebo out of Black Card. I removed the design from the die and dusted it with my anti-static bag. I popped it back into the die and inked through the die with Perfect Medium. I removed it from the die, added Cosmic Shimmer Gold Detail Embossing Powder and heat set.

I cut a Grand Decorative Labels One out of a Heartfelt Creations Paper. I cut the largest but one of the Grand Stately Circles out of Black Card. I cut the largest of Stately Circles dies out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Peeled Paint Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the sentiment from the Everyday Expressions Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Die D-Lites Petite Labels 1 and inked through the die with Peeled Paint Distress Ink.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I have shows at 9am and 12noon on Ideal World today and at 4pm and 6pm on Create & Craft. Hope you can join me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  1. Good morning Julia,
    I love the gold on this card I thought it was fab when you did the demo. I have been studying for an exam so your shows are my highlight and welcome break.... You do amuse me especially the way you deal with the presenters. Have fun.

  9. Hi Julia, gorgeous card, it's great having the cards you are demonstrating on your blog as I am not able to record c&c, so I still have a record to remind me. Looking forward to today's shows luckily I can record the shows you have on ideal world today.

  12. Loving this card Julia.. my sort of colours. Spellbinders are certainly taking crafting to "another level" ( I actually hate that phrase) but it fits the feeling until I can think of something instead. Mabex

  18. I had thought that I wouldn't have a need for the grand dies (and in these austere times,I now have to consider need over want,sadly) but they do add a certain something to cards.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Love this card, the gazebo is yet another die set to go on my wish list.
    My imagination is in overdrive, thinking what I could do ... if only!

    I enjoyed the shows yesterday, thought I would miss all of the noon show but caught the last half hour, was pleasantly surprised to see you at 3pm, unfortunately missed the 5pm show as was standing in the street waiting for the fire brigade...a ditzy neighbour was 'burning' oops! I mean cooking dinner! Must get to the telly have just noticed you're on now on Ideal!!
    Have a great day1

  39. Hi Julia
    This is one of my faves - I love cards with the grand dies - I loved the red & white one you did and hope you will be putting it on your blog as I pressed the delete button on the Sky box on the wrong recording and I can't remember it - Old fool!!!
    Your shows are great and you are a top demonstrator - I wish I had half of your ideas. Will be careful with that delete button in future
