One Day Special on Hochanda this evening

Hi Bloggers.

I'm launching a One Day Special on Hochanda this evening at 8pm. It's a Justrite Sale Show with lots of other goodies on offer too as usual.

Here's today's sneak peek -

This is one of my favourite styles of card - so easy yet so impressive. There are several Christmas background stamps (including the one on this card) on the show but I haven't made a single Christmas Card with them. Hopefully, I can show that they're not just for Christmas.

So, starting with the background, I popped some CS Flake & Glitter Glue onto a piece of Wax Paper. I picked it up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to ink up the Justrite Holly Garland Background Stamp. I stamped it onto Coconut White Card leaving the stamp on the card no more than 3 seconds so as not to tear the card. I cleaned my stamp under a cold tap and then went back to my stamped images. I added CS Gemstones Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.

I covered the background with a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheets. I removed the other piece of backing and added CS Iced Snow Glitter Jewels.

I made a frame out of Coconut White Card using Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Rectangles and Double Pierced Rectangles Set B. I added it to my background using 3D Foam Tape and a little CS Glue (as adding to glitter).

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Ornate Happiness Squares Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using die #2 from Sue's Refined Rectangular Frame Die Set. I mounted it onto 3D Foam, added some glue and tucked it into my frame.

I popped some CE Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of Coconut White Card. I peeled away the other backing sheet and added CS Gemstones Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.

I cut the 2 largest complete flowers from Sue's Striped Nastutium Die Set out of my gilded card twice. I cut the corresponding open flowers from the same die set out of Coconut White Card twice. I made my flowers and added an 8mm Cream Pearl to the centres.

I cut a couple of leaves from Sue's Trailing Ivy Die Set out of Coconut White Card.

I added a couple of mats of Coconut White Card and some 8mm Cream Pearls to my frame to complete my card.

Hi Bloggers.

A bit of Fire & Ice today -

For the background, I cut the 3 decorative dies from Sue Wilson's Swirly Vine Background out of the same piece of Black Card, leaving a border around the outide edge. To make cutting easier, I cut 1 die at a time.

Next, I popped a piece of Creative Expressions Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto the front of the die cut. I turned over to reveal the adhesive and added CS Autumn Leaves Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit.

I turned over and removed the other backing sheet. I added CS Iced Snow Glitter Jewels. I used a die from Sue's Double Pierced Squares to neaten the edges and matted onto Antique Copper Pearl Card.

I stamped the sentiment from Phill Martin's Scribbled Frame Sentiments Stamp Set onto Black Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed using CS Gold Detail Embossing Powder (seems to show up better than Ancient Copper). I cut out using Sue's Stitched Flags and cut the next sized die in the set out of Antique Copper Pearl Card.

I popped another piece of Double Sided Self Adhesive Sheet onto a piece of Black Card. I removed the other backing sheet and added CS Autumn Leaves Gilding Flakes. I removed the excess using a piece of Rubit Scrubit. I then cut all 4 sizes of flower from Sue's Cape Daisy Die Set. I glued them together, offsetting them and added an 8mm Black Pearl. I cut the 2 smaller leaves from Sue's Swirly Leaf Trio out of Black Card and out of Antique Copper Pearl Card.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm Black Pearl to the corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
