Spellbinders One Day Special Continues on Hochanda today

Hi Bloggers.

I'm continuing with the Spellbinders One Day Special on Hochanda today with shows at 9am. 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. Lisa Horton has shows today too at 10am, 1pm and 5pm with some fab MDF. Hope you can join us.

I have another two-fer for you today featuring the die sets that are in the One Day Special.

Here's the first card - made entirely from Steel Pearl Card -

I've used Saliboat Blue and Purple Twilight Alcohol Inks and and Alcohol Ink Applicator Tool to colour some pieces of Steel Pearl Card (I just did the edges of the mat pieces). I cut the inner die and one of the outside edge dies from the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Duality Die Set towards the bottom of a piece of Steel Card and added this to my Alcohol Inked card.

I cut the outer die only in the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Card Creator Die Set (love this die set - lots of techniques to show you with this) from another piece of Alchol Inked card. I then cut both dies together out of Steel Card and glued the 2 pieces together.

I coloured 6 Craft Consortium Pearl Hearts with the same Alcohol Inks as before.

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

Here's the second card (and it is an actual card! lol) -

This is a real quickie. I inked all over a piece of A5 Heat Emboss Acetate with Purple Twilight, Sailboat Blue and Sunset Orange Alcohol Inks using the Applicator Tool.

I folded it in half. I also folded an A5 piece of Coconut White Card in half. I popped the 2 pieces together and secured them with a piece of Craft Consortium White Satin Ribbon adding a Craft Consortium Small Circle Pearl Diamante Charm.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Chrysanthemum Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using one of the small dies from the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Tags Die Set and inked through the die with Chic Pumpkin Colour Cloud using a Smoothie. I cut the corresponding larger die from the set, again out of Coconut White Card and inked through the die with Chic Pumpkin.

I added a couple of Craft Consortium 5mm Pearls to the right hand corners.

I hope you've enjoyed today's two fer. I love Alcohol Inks - there are so many techiques you can do with them. I hope to be able to able to demonstrate some of them (please see last night's launch show on catchup on Hochanda's website here). Tim Holtz has done a bunch of videos on Alchol Inks - I've included a couple below -

  29. Good afternoon Julia,
    I am really liking the renaisence sets and todays die sets from SB. It has been a while since i like a spellbinders set of dies as much as i do these beautiful ones, so pretty and make a stunning card without too much effort. I love your top card Julia, sorry the bottom one is not quite down my street but that is what makes crafting individual and fun, is our different tastes and style. Thank you flower
    love and crafty hugs

  30. Julia - so who got the small counter today? Lisa kept saying she had to stand on her tippy toes during her demos. Great demo's and cards - don't know how you are concentrating today with all the ideas buzzy around in your head.

    I love this first Card, it has such a classic look and lovely colours. I really like the colouring effect of this second Card. This making Cards is becoming a habit, lol. Thanks for sharing.
