Best Wishes Today & Forever

Hi Bloggers.

I'm heading up to the NEC bight and early today for 3 days demoing on the Creative Expressions Stand at the UK Trade Show (known as Stitches). I have lots of new goodies to demonstrate including a whole bunch of new Spellbinders dies which I will also be demonstrating on Hochanda soon. I'm really excited to be on the Spellbinders International Ambassador Team for 2016 and will be posting on the Spellbinders Blog from time to time. My first post will be on March 2nd.

Here's today's card featuring some new dies which will I will be launching in my shows on Hochanda next weekend 28th to 29th February -

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Spellbinders Elegance M-Bossabilities Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design (easy as it's a repeating pattern).

I cut the largest die from the Spellbinders Astoria Decorative Accents Die Set out of Wisteria Card.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Exressions Elegant Sentiments Stamp Set using Blue Violet Archival. I cut it out using the middle sized die from the Spellbinders Astoria Decorative Elements Die Set. I cut the corresponding die from the Spellbinders Astoria Labels Die Set out of Wisteria and glued the 2 pieces together. I added them to the Decorative Accents die cut using 3d Foam.

I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Off White Satin Ribbon. I cut the smallest die in the Spellbinders Savoy Decorative Accents Die out of Wisteria Card and added it to the centre of my bow.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

I will be stock alot of the new Spellbinders Dies on my website aswell as lots of other new goodies. I will try and keep you up to date when they arrive.

 Please note : Website orders placed Saturday till Tuesday won't be posted till Wednesday. Many apologies for the delay. I also won't be able to respond to any emails until Tuesday evening.

Thanks for stopping by.
