Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

As promised, here's a sneak peek from tomorrow's Christmas Stamping Shows. We have 7 new Singles Stamps on the shows all with a Christmas Sentiment theme. Like the everyday sentiment stamps that came ealier this year, you can use them as they come or mix them up.

Here's today's card -

I started by dusting a piece of Coconut White Card with my anti-static bag and then running it through the Grand Calibur with the Deck the Halls Mask. Keeping the mask in place, I inked through it with Perfect Medium using Cut n Dry Foam. I removed the mask, added Cosmic Shimmer Black Sparkle Embossing Powder and heat set. I was not happy with the coverage so I replaced the mask, inked through again, removed mask, added more powder and heat set again. I edged the piece with Black Soot Distress Ink.

I stamped the Peace on Earth Stamp onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Adorning Squares. I stamped and embossed it again. This time I covered it with a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Adhesive and added Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Sprinkles. I cut out the Peace and Bauble panels and added them to the top of the original image using 3D Foam. I cut a black mat using the smallest die from the Spellbinders Grand Squares Die Set.

I tied a bow using Black Crochet Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment and a White Mini Pearl Swirl. The crochet ribbon hides the bell ribbon on the mask design.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Black 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Cosmic Pearl around the edges.

We're having a blog hop tomorrow morning starting at 6am on Sue's blog to coincide with my shows on Create & Craft featuring all 7 of the new Christmas stamps. There are prizes to be won on each blog on the hop but to be in with a chance to win, you need to comment on the blog posts and more importantly check back after the closing date to see if you've won!

Thanks for stopping by,

Julia.
