Hi friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I embossed a piece of Foundations Floral Dream Paper using the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through the Platinum Machine a second time to extend the design.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Roundabout Cut, Fold & Tuck Die Set out of the same paper, but this time I used the other side. I cut the smallest die in the Spellbinders Grand Stately Circles Die Set with the same Roundabout Die in the centre of it, out of Milk Card. I cut the next sized die in the Stately Circles Set, again out of Milk Card. At the emboss stage I added the Argyle Mask. I stacked the 2 circles dies on top of each other using 3D Foam and added the folded and tucked Roundabout die cut, offsetting it against the aperture.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Tatty's Text Stamp Set using Coffee Archival and cut it out using Spellbinders Victorian Tags.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

I have added photos of samples from the Takeover Weekend to my Julia Watts Crafts Facebook Page and to the Gallery page of this blog (access via the menu at the top of the blog), if you're interested. I will blog all the cards at some point here.

Thanks for stopping by.

  3. Hi Julia, a lovely card today, I was so glad to see you using the stately circles dies on the weekend. I may not have the cut,fold and tuck dies, but can adapt. Even saved the recording of embossing with the die still in place so I don't forget. Have a great day. Bx

  8. Morning Julia, I loved watching you extend the M-bossabilities embossing folder, and using the Grand Stately Circles, I love these dies, and finishing off with the Cut-Fold-Tuck central die-cut, a gorgeous card with gorgeous pearl embellies. Beautiful !!

  9. Morning Julia, I love the card and enjoyed watching your Hochanda shows, it is such a shame that Spellbinders are not making the Grand dies any more, I personally think that was a bad decision on their part but I am sure that other companies will do this, I know a few that already have.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
