Oceanside

Hi Bloggers.

Hope you enjoyed the shows last night. 8 more scheduled for today.

There are some Nautical themed stamp sets on the shows and this is one of the samples I've made using them -

For the background, I stamped the crab stamp from the Justrite Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels Stamp Set using Pebble Adirondack Dye Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then went around the edges with Raisin Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I wrapped a piece of Burgundy/Ivory Striped Grosgrain around the centre.

I stamped the Lobster Label Stamp from the same stamp set using Raisin Adirondack and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Oval Medallion Labels and inked through the die with Pebble Adirondack. I coloured in the border around the stamp with Blue Cotton Matt Drawing Ink from the Soft Velvet Set.

I stamped the Map Label Stamp from the Justrite Anchors Away Clear Stamp Set using Raisin Adirondack and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using another Oval Medallion Label die and inked through the die with Pebble Adirondack. Again, I coloured the little border around the edge with Blue Cotton Adirondack.

I stamped the sentiment from the Oceanside Stamp Set using Raisin Adirondack and embossed with clear powder. I cut it out using a die from the Justrite Vintage Label & Banner Die Set and inked through the die with Pebble Adirondack.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Red Button in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

Hope you can tune into some of the shows today.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  1. Good morning Jukia,
    I taped both shows from yesterday, I watched the first and started the second but must admit I feel asleep, so I was happy I taped them, your schedule for these two days is ambitious and the shows later tonight should be extra fun to watch, you looked fantastic and did a wonderful job. Love this card, hope you had fun with your mega shows.

  5. Hi Julia I love this card it a bit different. Wow so many shows today, I am hoping to catch some of them. You must have done so much prep I wonder how you cope when things sell out and you have to change what you are doing. Jackie

  17. Lovely card Julia. I've been watching the pick of the day programmes and struggling to resist but really can't afford any more crafty stuff at the moment - but they are on the wish list! I have to say that the samples you've made are definitely some of the best you have ever made.

  18. Hi Julia,
    Just watched your first show today love the card you did.
    Today's is a great mans card but I don't think I'll be buying these stamps as I would not use them very much.
    Good luck with your punishing schedule today, will be watching as much as I can.

  19. Good morning Julia and everyone. Watched both shows last night as thankfully no schedule clash with Hubbys programmes. Don't know how you look so fresh this morn as I feel anything but!
    Fab card today and the samples on the shows are wonderful.x

  20. Hi Julia. Love today's card, but it is my favourite red isn't it? Watched all your shows so far but will have to record the rest to watch later. Boy are they rushing you, you will be worn out. Am I right in thinking your preference is now the Adirondak inks rather than Distress? I know they are made by the same company, so can you explain the difference please? SueL

  29. Hi Julia,

    Love the shows, could not afford any of the sets as they are quite expensive, even with flexi pay but I did manage to get the swirly dies and a large floral background stamp so looking forward to receiving those.

    Your cards are beautiful and I look forward to seeing more of your shows which I tape so I can watch the demos again for inspiration.

    Thank you
