Sneak Peek

Hi Bloggers.

It's that time again - time for a sneak peek from the Spellbinders One Day Special on Hochanda which starts at 8pm tomorrow evening. It's the 2nd Part of the Wedding Collection designed by Becca Feeken.

It's always a hard decision - which sample to share first, but I made this one yesterday and I really like it so this is the one I'm sharing -

I started by creating a card blank (yes, this is an actual card!) by folding a piece of Custard Card in half, hanging part of the cutting edge of the largest die in the Spellbinders Swirling Grace Die Set on the outside of the fold. I ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine.

I then ran the same die through the machine again with another piece of Custard Card. I used the 3 largest dies together and cut from Dark Grey Card. I glued this die cut to my single-sided Custard die cut and then popped them onto my card blank (I actually glued it to the back of my card blank to hide the marks from my cutting plate).

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Wedding Cake Singles Set onto Custard Card using Watering Can Archival, quickly added CS Silver Lustre Embossing Powder and heat set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ornamental Crest Die Set. I cut the little motif die from the Ornamental Crest Die Set out of Dark Grey Card twice. I covered them using Flake & Glitter Glue Highlighter and then added CS Sparkle Star Diamond Frost.

I tied abow using 2 lengths of Craft Consortium Silver Satin Ribbon and added Craft Consortium Vintage Rhinestone Charm (love these!).

I added a Craft Consortium Metal Silver Heart Charm : Amore. I didn't realise till I opened the packet that these have little flowers engraved on the reverse side so you can use then either way. I have actually glued this one down using CS Glue but you could add using twine. Oooh - you could make earrings out of them! I'll have to see if I have some findings!
I hope you agree that this is a lovely 'proper' card!

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.

    Pick me up off the floor - an actual card - well if you want people to buy from the wedding range to make their own cards etc, it is probably a good idea. Won't see the show, however May 3rd will soon be here and I can start catching the pick of the days again.
