Hi Bloggers. As promised, I have a sneak peek for you today from tomorrow's shows. The show is mainly a die based show featuring some lovely new dies from Couture Creations. They work well on their own and with other dies you may already have in your stash. Here's today's card - For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Irish Clubs Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax over the surface. The corners are cut from the Couture Creations French Frame Die. The die looks like this -   So, for the corners, I cut 4 French Frames and trimmed them down keeping just the ornate section of each one. I stamped the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Decorative Frames from the Italian Collection. I cut a Couture Creations Cappuccino Die out of Black Card. I tied a bow using Black/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Black Organza Ribbon Rose. I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges. I have listed all of the sample packs I have so far on ebay. The first 7 packs have been sold and have raised over £40 for The Teenage Cancer Trust. I chuffed to bits that they have been so popular. 12 packs selling this week, then I'll pop some more on after I've been away with Sue. Thanks for stopping by. Julia.

Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Becky Jensen, shares creative tips on stamping & scrapbooking. It's a whole lot more than just cards!

Just a quickie post tonight ... Peaky Blinders is on the telly, one of the very few programmes I sit down to watch properly! This one is inspired by Kimberly's card over at the Muse challenge.  I've used an oldie Stampin Up image - coloured with watercolour pencils.  Clear gloss added to the windows and little mini gems to the flower centres.  The dotty line is a silver pen which I also used to colour the wheel hubs. Muse Challenge #244 That's Crafty - green as main colour Seize the Birthday - monochromatic This one uses the never-ending pink DP from the stack I bought from The Range ages ago!   My image is also a Stampin Up that I came across when I was looking for the truck stamp. Coloured with watercolour pencils and clear gloss/glitter added to the candles. Layout is from last week's sketch at Splitcoaststampers Simon Says Stamp Monday - star light star bright Polkadoodles #47 - anything goes
