Hugs & Kisses

Hi Bloggers.

Today I have shows on Create & Craft at 12noon (2 hours) with Nigel and at 5pm with Dawn. Hope you can join me and perhaps email in.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I stamped the Scroll Corner from the Creative Expressions Scroll Border & Corner Set using Seedless Preserves Distress Ink in the 2 bottom corners. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Exotic Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time and inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves.

I stamped the Creative Expressions Rose Striplet twice using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Blue Maroon Aurora Embossing Powder (from the Pinks set which is on the show). I cut them both out using scissors and inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves.

The Creative Expressions Ribbon & Rose Heart Stamp Set comes with 2 sentiments. I stamped the Hugs & Kisses sentiment using Perfect Medium and added some Blue Maroon Aurora Embossing Powder (I did not heat set yet). I cut the centre of the ribbon section of my stamp out so that I could see through to position it correctly over the sentiment, stamping with Perfect Medium again. I added the Blue Maroom Aurora and heat set the whole thing. I cut it out using Spellbinders Pearl Effects and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves.

I tied a bow using Cream Crochet Ribbon. I made a flower using the Heartfelt Creations Sweet Juliet Die Set (yes it's back!), with a little felt from the Vintage Felt Pack and a Rhinestone Brad.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Pearl PVA in Crystal around the edges.

See you later!

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  14. I love the card Julia, I have the roses stamp on the way, But as much as I love the flower die, I'm not going to buy it because I think it's too expensive for what it is. Look forward to your shows today though.

  16. Morning Julia, Stunning card, love the colours, and I am in 'awe' at your 'cutting out' I could never get it as good as yours, but so, so, effective.
    Looking forward to your shows, will be recording the Toolshed as won't be back from Church in time, I'm on 'Tea' duty after the service today. But will be watching as soon as I get back, and also watching at 5pm, that's unless you 'sell out' again haha.
    Have a lovely day.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx

  25. Hi Julia,
    Lovely card again! I really like the flower and missed it last time. I've got a busy day also but will be watching when I can. Even if that means tonight!
    I too would normally be at Church but today family coming and I like to be ready as children are always hungry!
    You will be there by now Julia so safe travel home in this dreadful weather!
    Love Myra
