Thanks so much

Hi Bloggers.

I'm demoing at Dandie Crafts in Pontypridd today 10 till 4. Like yesterday's demo, this is a ticketed event so you will need to contact the shop to see if there are any spaces available.

Here's today's card -

This is an actual card - I know I don't make many of them but they are so easy to create with Sue Wilson's Noble Dies.

So, for the card blank, I folded a piece of Coconut White Card in half. I placed one side of the largest die in Sue's Ornate Pierced Squares Noble Die Set with the cutting edge just outside the fold. I ran it through the Grand Calibur to cut out the card blank.

I spread some Phill Martin Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Paste in Chic Viola and Chic Aubergine through the Wavy Mask onto Coconut White Card and put aside to dry (approx 1 1/2 hours).

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card. I cut it out using Sue's Pierced Flags Die Set and cut a larger die from the same set out of Amethyst Card.

I made a frame out of Coconut White and Amethyst Card using Sue's Ornate Pierced Squares Noble Die Set.

I made some flowers out of White Felt from the Wedding Felt Pack using Sue's Classic Foldover Flowers Die Set (see my video here). I cut some leaves out of Coconut White Card and rubbed some Phill Martin Chic Aubergine Gilding Wax over them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  12. Hi Julia,
    Lovely card, I love the noble dies and have this set, it's such a useful set as it's good for men's cards too. Gorgeous colours and like the way you've used 2 colours of texture paste. Hope you have a good day today.
    Thanks,
    Heather Treble

  13. Good morning Julia this is a wonderful card. I think I should invest in some more of the noble dies. I saw something on Facebook yesterday that said Creative Expressions wasn't going to be on Create and Craft anymore. I wondered if this was just a rumour. Have a great day you are a busy lady. Hugs Jackie

    1. I've seen that too. Apparently someone said I said that but that isn't true - I said that none of us have shows AT THE MOMENT. That is true! Julia

  34. Hi Julia

    I love it, purple ie a winner and the waves from the mask look a little like zebra stripes! I've not yet made a card from the noble dies in this way but will soon as I think it looks amazing.

    Hugs,
