Special Gifts

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks for all your emails to the studio yesterday and for the comments here on the blog. Much appreciated as always.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Rambling Blossoms Embossing Folder and inked around the edges with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink.

I stamped the Justrite Iron Swirls Background using Plum Archival. I simply cut it out using my trimmer and mounted it onto Rich Plum Card.

I cut out the largest die from the Spellbinders Labels 29 die set and inked through the die with Seedless Preserves. I stamped the large double corner stamp from the Justrite Special Gifts Labels 29 Clear Stamp Set on each side of the die cut as shown. As it's a clear stamp set it's pretty easy to see where to stamp.

I stamped the oval design from the same stamp set, again using Plum Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large.

I cut the Justrite Heirloom Flourish Two Die out of Rich Plum Card twice and slotted the die cuts either side of the Labels 29 die cut.

I cut a couple of leaves out of Rich Plum Card using Sue's Petite Vinery Die Set and made a flower out of White Crochet Ribbon.

I assembled the card as shown adding a White Pearl to each corner and I pierced around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

  27. Hi Julia
    Another lovely card today. I especially love the background stamp and the sentiment in the middle of the card. I've just stRted go wTch the first of yesterday's show. Loving the flower stamps and I've ordered both. I'm having to design the Month of MAy for a ClIgraphy calender for next year. Although I don't actually do Calligraphy the group though we should join in as well. These stamps will be perfect with the flowers, swirls and verses. Thanks for the inspiration.
