Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

I thought I'd share a sneak peek from tomorrow's shows. The shows feature some goreous Justrite Stamps at some really great prices. I'm hoping to be able to share a whole bunch of techniques with you across the 3 hours.

Back in January this year I showcased the A Flower For Your Thoughts Stamp Set which is so very pretty. I made a bunch of lovely samples with this set, even though I say so myself. But, do you think I can find them? Not a single one! I'm sure they're somewhere. It's very frustrating. So, as I can't show them tomorrow, you can see them as featured on the blog in these posts (ignore the last few posts - can't seem to narrow the search!)

Anyhow, here's one of the new samples that I've made -

The flower heads and the foliage come as different stamps in this stamp set which is brilliant for getting different colours on your images. I stamped the foliage in Fern Green Archival and the flowers in Saffron Archival. I cut them all out using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares and then a mat for each one out of Black Card using the same die set.



I made a messy background on Coconut White Card. With the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Justrite Dotted Fronds Background using Saffron Archival. I repeated the process with the Justrite Cornflower Damask Background and Fern Green Archival. I then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Christmas Vineyard Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I inked around the edges with Saffron Archival.

 
I stamped the frame from the Justrite Enjoy the Day Vintage Labels Four Stamp Set using Fern Green Archival then stamped the sentiment within it using Saffron Archival. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels Four Die Set. I cut the same die out of Black Card. I cut it right down the centre and then offset the two pieces behind the sentiment.

I assembled the card as shown adding a Small Black Circle Dazzler in each corner and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Phill Martin is continuing with his One Day Special on Hochanda today at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. You can see the items I have in stock on my website here.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Good morning Julia today's card is gorgeous I love the flower stamps. It is so frustrating that you can't find your samples they will turn up when you don't need them any more. Have a great day today. Hugs Jackie

    Hi Julia,
    A really beautiful card, what a great idea for the stamps to have the foliage and flowers separated. Looking forward to your shows, the weather forecast for Wednesday is for rain all day here so a crafty day is on the cards as well as watching!
    Thanks for sharing,

    Hi Julia, You must have put those samples "somewhere safe"... You'll probably find them on Thursday when you're looking for something else.

    Anyway, the new sample is gorgeous - love the colours you have used. Am looking forward to the shows. It's so nice to be seeing all of the CE team more often.

    Hi Julia,
    How can you go wrong with any kind of flower, really pretty. What a good idea having the foliage and flower head separate. Looking forward to the shows have them all on record ready and waiting.

    I remember the lovely bluebells from last time. Messy backgrounds on TV are always fun, the presenters never seem to believe what you are doing and the result at the end - I enjoy looking at their faces! I am sure the rest of the samples are just as great as this one.

    Hello Julia.

    Firstly I must say that I love the Flower For Your Thoughts Stamp Set, when you demoed it before I had to buy it, it is so lovely. I also love your messy stamps in hand backgrounds and the colouring, for some reason you see very few Yellow cards. I wish there were more yellow tones in Foundation Card. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations Rosemary Stickland.

    Best wishes
