Freebie Friday

Hi Bloggers.

It's Freebie Friday again and I have a demo card from one of the Spellbinders Hochanda shows in March.

I've just had a look and I don't seem to have shared this card. Briefly, I've used the Spellbinders Astoria Labels and all 3 dies in the Spellbinders Astoria Decorative Elements cut from Coconut White and Duck Egg Card stacking them all up. The sentiment is from the Creative Expressions Petite Lavish Sentiments Stamp Set stamped using Watering Can Archival. I've used the Spellbinders Shells Duality inner die only to cut into the bottom of the background card. I've added a couple of White Pearl Corners and done the usual piercing and mats.

To go into the draw for a chance to win, please leave a lovely comment below. I will announce the winner on Monday.

My dear old Dad is 82 today. I thought I'd share the card that I've sent him. It's quite an old card - when I make a card that I think is suitable for someone, I put it aside to use at a later date (if I can find it again!). Anyway, this is the card -

You can read how my Dad's card was made here.

Leonie Pujol stamps have now arrived to co-ordinate with her masks. You can find them here. The stamps are just £4.99 per set and the masks are £5.99.

Thanks for stopping by.

  18. Hi Julia
    A gorgeous card, love the colours and the shell duality die.
    I'm sure your dad will love his card.
    I'm making a card for my son's 30th next month with a tennis theme - since he loves to watch and play tennis, and 30 is part of the scoring system.
