For You and Exciting News!

Hi Bloggers.

I'm at the NEC for the next 3 days demonstrating on the Creative Expressions Stand at the UK Trade Show. The team will be demonstrating lots of new goodies that will be available to your local Creative Expressions Stockists very soon.

I'm very excited to announce that I have been appointed Spellbinders Ambassador for Creative Expressions. This means that I'll be going all over the country doing demos for them so, if you have a craft shop local to you, be sure to get them to contact Creative Expressions to book me in!

I've been playing with some of the new Spellbinders dies over the last few days and I'm sharing this card with you today -

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Amazing Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Perfect Medium and added with Cosmic Shimmer Phill Martin Graceful Mint Embossing Powder. I did not heat set just yet. I inked up the centre section of the CE singles Baroque Frame and stamped it around the sentiment. I added more Graceful Mint Embossing Powder and heat set. I removed the excess mica powder with a dry wet wipe. I trimmed the centre frame on the inner tram line and mounted onto 3d Foam.

I stamped the complete frame next, again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Graceful Mint. I cut it out using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics B. I cut a mat out of Aqua Card using Spellbinders 6 x 6 Matting Basics A.

The next Coconut White Mat was cut using Spellbinders Triple Floral as was the pretting Aqua frame. For this, I used the largest die in the set and at the emboss stage I added the next smallest die to give me the faux piercing look. I'm loving this die set. I added little 3mm White Pearls all around. I cut the largest die in the Matting Basics B Die Set out of Coconut White Card and added a 5mm White Pearl in each corner.

I made the flower using Spellbinders Marisa's Bouquet Die Set and rubbed a little Graceful Mint Gilding Wax over the centre, adding a 5mm White Pearl. The leaves were cut from Aqua Card using the same die set.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
