Spellbinders One Day Special starts this evening

Hi Bloggers.

I'm launching a One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm with the first half of the Wedding Collection from Spellbinders designed by Becca Feeken. These are gorgeous dies which are suitable for many occasions, not just weddings.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I've embossed a piece of Milk Card using the Creative Expressions Blossom Brocade Embossing Folder. I added some Cream Pearl Corners.

I've used the Spellbinders Regal Allure Die Set - I cut the largest die out of Vintage Gold Card, the insert die out of Milk Card and the embellishment die out of Vintage Gold Card twice.


I made a couple of shoes using Spellbinders Ladies Shoe Die Set and added an Ivory Craft Consortium Resin Flower to each shoe.

I will demonstrate how to make the shoes in the launch show this evening. If you're on Freeview, it looks like the show is being repeated at midnight so set your recorder if you have one. You can also watch online at hochanda.com where there's also catchup available.

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

It's all go on my website today!
  1. Sue Wilson is continuing with her One Day Special today on Hochanda with shows at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. I'm offering 10% discount on products I have in stock from her shows on my website here. Offer is valid till midnight tonight.
  2.  I'm then taking over with the Spellbinders One Day Special at 8pm. I'm offering 10% discount on products I have in stock from the shows on my website here. Offer is valid till midnight tomorrow night.
  3.  Stock of the April Release of Sue's dies is due in today. I've loaded them onto my website - you can find them here. The Special Occasion Collection and the Shadow Box Collection will work perfectly with the Spellbinders Wedding Collection, I think.
I have added some photos of my samples to the Gallery on this blog (access via the top menu) and on my Julia Watts Crafts Facebook Page.

I found a Youtube video from CHA in January where Becca shows you round her collection (wish I had found it earlier!). Anyway - here it is so you can have a look. Some of the dies are on today's ODS and the rest will be featured on 27th April.


I hope to see you later.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  18. Another attractive card. I loved the version you had on your table over the weekend where the shoes were coloured with pixie dust. Needless to say, like many others, my TV is set to record your shows.

  21. Lovely card Julia. Looking forward to seeing your shows. Can't watch Hochanda at the moment. They are doing maintenance so had to miss Sue's show at 9am. Hope it's working soon. I usually watch on line on the iPad but cannot get it today so far.

  23. I just love the colour on this card, quite different for today...I have struggled with Hochanda for a while now, no longer on Freeview 39....very unpredictable on the computer, keeps buffereing...so not good at all at the moment...A real disappointment as I prefer to watch on the telly, what are they doing about it ??? .....luv Ursula xx

  25. Good afternoon Julia,
    I very much love Becca Feekens style and her dies are so beautiful and so elegant. I watched her show this set a few months back and even down to the wedding dress that she made/decorated with her beautiful creations was stunning. You have just shown another stunning interpretation of her dies and what a fantastic job you have done of it to. Your card is beautiful Julia right down to your roses that you have put on to the wee shoes and the pearl corners that just set it all off to a T. Thank you Julia for bringing this lovely lady's creations to life for us, have a good day,
    love and crafty hugs
