Wishing you a Special Day

Hi Bloggers.

I'm up at Creative Expressions HQ again today running a couple of workshops. Should be fun! Details of my next workshops there are at the end of this post.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Wild Roses Embossing Folder.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Delightful Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival. I popped a little piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet over the top, peeled off the backing and added some Cosmic Shimmer Diamond Snow Glitter Jewels.

I cut a frame out of Coconut White and Mauve Card using Sue Wilson's Porto Die Set. I cut another frame out of the same card using both Sue's Lisbon and Sintra Die Sets.

I cut all 3 of the dies in Sue's Pyxis Gemini Die Set together out of Coconut White Card. I cut just the outside dies out of Mauve Card.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Off White Satin Ribbon. I made a flower using Sue's Perfect Peony Complete Petals following her tutorial here and here.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges.

My next workshop up at Creative Expressions HQ is on Tuesday 7th July.

Morning Workshop -

Afternoon Workshop -

Thanks for stopping by.

  8. I'm sorry I haven't been able to get to one of your workshops yet, Julia but this should change shortly as I am finishing work at the end of the year. Really looking forward to having the chance to learn more techniques from you and the CE team.
    This card is lovely.

  27. Hello Julia and all.

    Such a pretty card, I really like the colours. Is it just me? or can you see a face in the final photo? I think it's a little feline or perhaps a Teddy Bear, lol. Thanks for sharing.

    Your workshop cards are lovely, If I had to pick one I think I would choice the first card.

    Best wishes.

  31. Hi Julia, some stunning cards on your blog today, I especially like the lilac & white one from today and the aqua & white "Just a Note" from your workshop. I keep getting excited to see the Portuguese border which I have only to realise it's the Pyxis Gemini which I don't have. They look very similar, one straight and the other curved. I have been needing some inspiration on using my Portuguese border so really pleased to see it on your workshop card.
    The blue and white cards are so pretty too. Thanks for all the inspiration.
