Thanks So Much

Hi Bloggers.

An apt sentiment for my post today as I would really like to thank you for all you emails into the shows yesterday and your kind comments here on the blog - it is much appreciated.

This card was one of the demos from yesterday and it's one of my favourite cards.


For the background, I used a piece of Coconut White Card which I popped inside the Spellbinders Paisley M-Bossabilities Folder with a little hanging over the edge as I did not want to emboss all of it. I ran it through the Grand Calibur and then inked around the edges with Dried Marigold Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut a border out of peach card using the Moroccan Accents border die and added it to the plain section of my background. I ran a piece of 6mm Super Sticky Tape along the edge of the border and ruffled some American Seam Binding in Blue White along it.

I cut a Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge out of peach card. At the emboss stage I added the Floral Vines Mask. I inked through the die with Dried Marigold. I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Heartfelt Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Matting Basics A and inked through the die with Dried Marigold. I cut a frame out using Spellbinders Fancy Weave and glued it on top of the sentiment panel using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.


I cut the smallest and the middle size of the Spellbinders Cut Fold & Tuck Roundabout dies out of Foundations Dot & Dash Paper. For the middle size one I had the stripey side face up and for the smallest size one I had the dots side up. I inked around the edges a bit with Dried Marigold after I had removed the paper from the dies. I folded and tucked and mounted the smaller one on top of the larger one and added an 8mm White Pearl.


I assembled the card as shown adding a Creative Expressions Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  1. Hi Julia, just watching this card being made on Toolshed as I recorded yesterday's shows and am doing my early morning catch up. It's gorgeous so full of content but simple to construct if you have the right tools. Love your banter with Dean.

  23. Hi Julia I recorded your shows and have yet to watch them. I love the design/layout of this card, it really is gorgeous. Unfortunately it looks more orangey than peach on my laptop. Can't wait to see what it looks like on the TV. I love peach and white though.
