I've had two full days back to work on some samples for the POTD show launch tomorrow night at 9pm and then again at 11pm. Please tell me that someone is going to be staying up late to watch as it will be way past my bedtime! I will apologise in advance if I yawn through the second show since it starts almost an hour past the time I am usually in la la land! I've got to say that, even though the past weekend was crazy busy putting the samples and demos together (and fighting my residual jet lag), I am loving these grand dies and had such a blast playing with them! I have often had ideas for cards that just didn't work right with the smaller nesties. I love the fact that this industry is so clever and creative with their innovative products. It is almost as if one day I think to myself wouldn't it be nice to have a something or other, and there it is! Practically overnight! Anyways, the card above is one of the demos that I have planned which shows a fun technique you can do with your nesties. I hope that you will tune in to see. I really love the yellow and grey of this card. I am going to try to do this on the first show if they let me. I have no idea on the price for the Grand Calibur machine, but I do know that it comes with a set of the Grand Nesties dies and the coordinating smaller sized set of nesties too so you will be well on your way.
oh this is so beautiful and elegant i can't wait to see the shows i will watch them all as usual goodluck on the POTD not that you will need it though have fun

ReplyDeleteReally looking forward to tonight though I may nust record the 11 p.m. show!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely thinking of buying the grand calibur - dependng on the price!!!
Shall be watching at 9 but not sure about 11, the other half gets up at 6am and I disturb him when I come to bed if its a different time than him!
ReplyDeleteI will be up for the 9am show - but 11pm will be recorded and to enjoy later. They are certainly making you work hard!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat colour combination Sue. I am liking the grand dies too - my bank manager will be complaining as I now have my Cuttlebug, so NEED all the dies!! Good luck for the shows.
ReplyDeleteXXXX
Really looking forward to the shows.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning card xx
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have set the nesties together. Can you use a cuttlebug with these larger dies?
Of course I'll be up to watch the show! Oh ye of little faith!!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it'll be worth waiting up for.
Nice gold on the yellow background.
Jo,es superbonito! muy delicado,un saludo!
ReplyDeleteSue, super cards. I just checked the schedule and there is a show coming up in two hours at 1am. Then 3am, 5am, and 7am, also 12, 3 and 5 pm. Yipppeeee. I will get to relax after supper and snag some super ideas from you or Jo. Have fun. I will be there for as many as I can.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous card, love it. hugs,moni
ReplyDeleteI watched the 11 show, but taped the 9 show lol, I had visitors here. I just watched the taped show that showed the technique for this card....excellent!! I think thats something I will be using quite a bit in the future. Love the card but the technique is fandabydozy! Thanks again
ReplyDeleteAmanda
Fab demo's on the shows Sue well done to you and Jo! :-) xxxxx
ReplyDeleteI watched both shows and OMG your samples and demos were amazing as usual!! The first thing you did with the rose half out of the nestie, what a great technique!! Thank you so much again for showing us all the great things you do!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, was able to catch two of you and one of Jo. Totally forgot to hop over to idealworld. duh. Will remember for your next POTD or POTW. Great shows and fab ideas.
ReplyDeleteWell, just finished a mammoth session watching all the recordings from today - just in case I missed something. Oh the things we do for the loe of craft!
ReplyDeleteMy bad typing - that should read LOVE!
ReplyDeleteEs una verdadera finura!!!felicitaciones!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very elegant card! I love how you use the grands. I'm just getting into the nesties so it'll be awhile before I get to the grands. But, I love looking at yours, lol! Mimi :o)
ReplyDeletelooking forward to catching the shows
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely papers you've used. I'll have to check out this new Grand Caliber.
ReplyDeleteLoved the technique for this card. So simple yet so effective. Thanks for sharing. Love, Julia xxxx
ReplyDeleteHello and a Happy New Year to you all!
ReplyDeleteI read all the blogs, but nowhere is there a mention of the technique ( the flowers overlapping) used on the card above being done of the Cuttlebug ...I think it is absolutely beautiful, but I have only recently bought my Cuttlebug so will be a while before I catch up with the Caliber.
P.S. I hope Jo recovers well and soon!
Thank you
Love Marg
I have still not found the solution to my problem (ABOVE).... can anyone stop me from chopping heads off the Roses.. on the card Sue did on 13th December please !Really looking forward to a reply
ReplyDeleteLove Marg
Beautiful, I kept the show demo I'd recorded on Sky + but unfortunately deleted it accidentally yesterday, pleased to see the card on the blog.
ReplyDeleteAlso, not sure whether you're aware but the Particraft web site isn't displaying correctly on either Firefox or Explorer so can't order anything.
Gorgeous card! I love the rose and how you layered the ovals.
