Hi Bloggers.
Thank you for all your kind comments, especially over this last week, both here on the blog and in the emails sent to the studio. It's much appreciated and I'm glad that you have enjoyed the shows and perhaps learned one or two new techniques.
Yesterday afternoon, I popped some more stamps on my Amazon Store. You can find A6 Background stamps here. I've got some of the new pre-mounted and cut Singles Stamps which you can find here. I have been asked to get the Wedding Stamp Sets that I did on shows recently and you can find them here and here (sorry there's no picture of Wonderful Beginnings yet). I have also re-stocked Elegant Ladies, Party Ladies, Cheers and Classic Sentiments Stamp Sets as requested.
There have been quite a lot of orders during this past week and stocks are low on a number of items so I'll be re-stocking those as soon as possible. I have nearly caught up with orders and I should be back to normal from Monday.
I'm at Milton Keynes Cardiac Group today helping with their craft day. If you're in the area, please pop along. There's lots of different crafts to try.
Here's today's card -
This is such a simple card to make. Using Milk Card and the inner die to cut the Spellbinders Filigree Vase as an aperture within the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B. I cut a cobalt mat out of Cobalt Card again using the Matting Basics B.
I cut the largest of the 5 x 7 Elegant Labels 4 out of Milk Card. I tied a bow using Blue/Ivory Grograin Ribbon and added a Large Square Dazzler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some Cream Self Adhesive Pearls. I did some faux stitching around the edges with a Blue Fine Liner Pen.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

ReplyDeleteI just had to start following you after watching all your fab shows this week. I particularly love it when you're on with Dean, lol. Love this card and can't wait for my dies to arrive
ReplyDeleteHugs Helen xx
Hi Julia, this looks beautiful with the blue and white colours. Hope you manage to get out and about today. This weather is awful. Bx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Julia,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are finding time to rest this weekend. Are you going to carry the glitter in your shop? You have convinced me to,try it. I love this card and can't wait for that die to arrive. Thanks for all the great tips this week. You are awesome.
Amazing - the colours really make it pop off the page x
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my favourite samples you showed this week. Simple can be very effective.
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to get drawn out of the potty and received one of Julias glitter cards yesterday(the purple and lilac one) Well,Im sold on the glitter! Hate it on cards normally as you can rub your furniture down with it or it sheds so much,you're vaccing it up for months.
Not this!!!
THE GLITTER IS AMAZING!
It is aptly named as its like touching silk. Fabulous stuff that Im just going to have to buy.
Sorry for the long post but had to spread the glitter glad tidings. X
Beautiful Julia.
ReplyDeleteLoved your shows this week
Morning Julia,
ReplyDeleteI think this was my favourite card of the week, stunning in its simplicity. I love the strong vibrant blue and white the only thing I would do differently is to leave off the bow (not a fan of big bows). Thank you for all of the tips and hints you gave last week.

Hi Julia, oh boy what a week you've had! I enjoyed it immensely and the samples were out of this world. This card is stunningly elegant and I'm so pleased with my Set 2 of the dies and now I want so many of Set 1!! Had an email from you yesterday to say my order is on it's way....I've been dieing to get my hand on the blush card ever since I saw you and Sue using it. Hope you have a chance to get some well earned 'me time' after you've finished at Milton Keynes.
ReplyDeleteLove Sheila xx
Thank you for all the shows you did last week you have given me so many ideas to try. I bought set 2 so I have the vase die I will be having a go at this card. Thanks again. Jackie
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful card Julia, love the colours - dramatic without being too in your face. I am sat putting all your wonderful demos onto dvd so I can watch them whenever I need inspiration. Many thanks for all your hard work last week - I am sure I am not alone in truly appreciating all the inspiration you and all the team at Creative Expressions give to us.

ReplyDeleteMorning Julia, Still no rest and relaxation for Julia today, have a good day at your craft day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic week we have had with all your demo's, it has been the best week ever.
Your card is beautiful, I so love those colours and blue is not a colour I normally go to, but this is stunning.
I'm watching Sam on tv at the minute, we are so being spoilt, and there is Sue tomorrow and Dee on Monday.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Julia
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the time off...well deserved after a week providing us with inspiration, hints and tips and of course the beautiful end products!
Love this card, even though is is quite ornate, there is a certain smartness about it, love the colour combo. I have been admiring this card throughout the week and have only noticed now, the lovely little detail of the faux stitching.
Look forward to seeing you again on C & C (hope you're on with Dean)
