One Day Special continues on Hochanda today

Hi Bloggers.

I hope you enjoyed the launch last night. I have more shows today at 9am, 12noon, 4pm and 7pm. Phill Martin is also in the building today with shows at 11am, 2pm and 5pm. Hope you have time to join us.

I have another two-fer for you today -

For the background, I inked up a brayer with Green Hertiage Crafts Pigment Ink andthen ran it over the deboss side of the Creative Expressions Fine Finials Embossing Folder. I added a piece of Coconut White Card and ran it through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine with the Raspberry Plate.

I stamped the word panel from the Tim Holtz Classic 4 Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I tore around it and then inked the edges with Green Pigment Ink using a Smoothie.

I lit the Tea Lights in the Efco Enamel Pot, popped a foil dish onto the metal plate, added some CS Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Crystals and popped the lid over. Once the Clear had melted, I added some CS Malachite Fire Ultra Thick Embossing Crystals. Once these had melted I poured it onto my Craft Sheet and then popped the Creative Expressions Hexagon Script A6 Stamp on top. I left it for a minute or so and then peeled the stamp away. I brushed some Enchanted Gold Mica Powder over.

Back to the Enamel Pot and a new foil dish, this time with Clear and Bright Gold Embossing Crystals. I have a mould I made years ago from Mold-n-Pour made from a shell. Mold-n-Pour is a different colour now but works just the same and my mould is still as good now as it was when I made it at least 6 years ago. Anyway, back to the card - I poured my molten gold mix into my mould, left it a couple of minutes and out came my lovely embellishment.

I matted onto Black Card then onto a Coconut White Card Blank and added some 5mm White Pearls.

Here's your second card -

For the background, I stamped the word stamp as used in the previous card 3 times onto a piece of Coconut White Card using Azure Heritage Pigment Ink. I trimmed it, added it to a piece of Black Card and popped it onto a Coconut White Card Blank.

I stamped the Creative Expressions Alpha Writing A6 Background onto Coconut White Card using Azure Pigment Ink Pad. I stamp the image from the Tim Holtz Classic 4 Stamp Set over the top using Jet Black Archival. I trimmed it and matted onto Black Card. Job done!

  15. Good morning Julia,

    both cards are exceptional.
    My favourite is the first one. I would use a walnut shell and make a christmas card in this style.

    Merry Christmas to you, your family and all the blog readers

  19. Hi Julia. It's nice to see something so very different and be reminded I have loads of CS UTEE not even opened and the heat pan thingy unused. Just need now to find them. Perhaps I will wait until after Christmas as my craft room is all tidy. SueL x
