Pearly Bauble

Morning my friends!  Today's Christmas card was just a pure lark on my part.  I had seen a card online awhile back that was done using the Christmas bauble die from last year but with a red background.  It, too was adorned in full pearls.  I really just wanted to try it!  I had recently purchase a large inexpensive bag of pearls to use as centres for flowers and since it was right in front of me, well, you know the rest!  I cut out the Christmas Bauble in the largest size using blue card.  While still in the die, I glued three sizes of pearls randomly on to the die, taking care not to get too close to the die so I could remove it easily once finished.  I decided to leave some random gaps too rather than tightly filling it in as I wanted the blue to show through.  I used the Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue for this so it was dry in no time.  For the background, I used the Wild Poinsettia embossing folder and did the top portion of the card.  I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in clear and drew two score lines below my embossed background.  I tied a small bow with white silky crush, added a fancy white button and mounted it to the top of the ornament.  I used a small piece of blue and white Bakers Twine to make it look like it was hanging.  I pierced the edges on the white mat behind it to complete the card.  I was thinking that this might be a fun card for you to do if you have children that may want to help in the card making process at Christmas time too.    I am hoping to get some pics from CHA up on tomorrow's blog so be sure to check back.  All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue what a brilliant idea the bauble looks so elegant. I also like how you have only embossed the top of the card, usual another stunning card. I can't wait to see your photos.
Hugs x

Unknown said...

That's a lot of lovely pearls! Where did you find them so inexpensively? I fear it would break my budget. It paired up perfectly with the lovely ribbon.

stumicste said...

Hi Sue. I love this card. Yet another imaginative way to combine crafty 'stash' with spell binders. Also great to revisit and rework existing products. Having said that, I've just bought some of the new spellbinders range and can't wait for your inspirational input on these......!

Good Morning Sue,
A lovely card, love the idea of the pearls on the bauble, simple but really elegant. Looking forward to seeing the pictures tomorrow. Spent another small fortune yesterday, Julia is doing a great job, but I still wish it was you, lol. Have fun, hope your shopping bag is FULL for your return:-p
Have a great day everyone.

lestim said...

Hi Sue, what a simple idea and how effective, I might try this using your crazy paving technique instead of the pearls, cos I ain't got that many pearls,lol. Best wishes, Leslet x

baconbits said...

Good morning, well a fortune has been spent and a big happy parcel is on its way. Hoping your shopping expedition to CHA was as productive.
Back to the card, what a sophisticated christmas card, looks sooo expensive but if done using Cosmic glue would not be as bad.

melanie said...

Love this card ,have ordered the potw and your stamp sets they look great .Melanie

Kathy said...

Hi Sue - love this, simple and elegant. I like this trend you're having for scoring at the bottom of the embossing and leaving a plain piece for the sentiment below that. I find that I'm stealing it quite often! Enjoy CHA! Kathy x

Christine Harrop said...

I have a mass of pearls that I got cheap (as you do!) then wondered what on earth I wold do with them all. Bingo! A great idea Sue, and I love the blue and white, looks so "clean". love Christine x

Maryann Laursen said...

Oh my Sue, this is so beautiful, and I absolutely love all these pearls. But here they´re definitely NOT very inexpensive, so where do you find big bacs like this so inexpensive? I think many would like to know that, as it´s something really expensive most places.
I also just LOVE the embossingfolder, you used, as the poinsettia is my favorit christmasflower too, so this is just sooo me. Stunning work here again Sue.
I´m so exited for tomorrow to get to see all these great pics from CHA then.
Have a wonderful week-end hun, and hopefully also a bit time for relaxing too. Take care and have fun everyone.

Clare Powell said...

Gorgeous card, love the pearls. Looking forward to seeing your CHA photos tomorrow.

I really like this idea of using the bauble - it could be filled with sequins or other embellies as well for a different look - ummm, lots of possibilities!

Carole Z said...

Love this card Sue, the pearls idea is fab! Did you hear how well the POTW shows went yesterday,almost a sell out so I don't think we are going to see Hels on Monday, tho I keep hoping! Couldn't afford the POTW as got some dies on your last shows, but did get the Venetian and butterfly set! Carole Z X

michele said...

I have this die and can't to try this beautiful card

Val in Spain xxx said...

Good Morning Sue. Really "different" card. Sounds easier than usual so I'll definitely be having a go as I've got some pearls in my stash. Julia did a great job yesterday on C+C. Really enjoyed the shows and all the lovely dies. So sad I couldn't afford the blossom it was my favourite.

Patricia Howarth said...

Morning Sue, Beautiful card today, love absolutely everything about it. I love the pearls on the bauble die, although I don't know how on earth you got all the small pearls in there, must have been a bit fiddly? I absolutely love how you have scored 2 lines at the bottom of the embossing, it finishes it off beautifully and the bow looks beautiful atop the bauble. BEAUTIFUL seems to be a repeat description on this comment, sorry but I can't stop praising this card, it's 'beautiful' ha ha. Lots of love from Patricia xx PS Looking forward to your piccies tomorrow xx

marg said...

Good Morning Sue
Well that is a lot of Pearls! I don't think I have that many, but certainly beautiful to see them all together on your card Sue!
POTW is nearly gone... that was quick! such lovely Dies to choose from. Look forward to your pics tomorrow too.

Pauline99 said...

Oh lovely card and look super quick to make except maybe sticking all them pearls down going to have a look for a cheap bag of those if not maybe I could use the cosmic shimmer glue and do it that way?
Missing you loads but Julia is doing a super job with the pick of the day I am hoping you will be back with the rest of the dies from CHA.

Have a great time out there wish I was there too.
All the best pauline

AdrienneQ said...

Love the card and the idea of using something from the stash.

I have lots of brads that could have their backs removed, also love the positive use you make of the size of the backgrounds by leaving the blank area for the sentiment.

Was a very luck girl yesterday and got the POW as well as the Grand dies and the blossom. Am going to have to make some room on my magnetic wall to take them all by hanging some of the nesting sets on hooks

alimecca said...

Hi Sue
Love this card & loved the POW on C&C but unfortunately I couldn't afford it. Decided to buy the set with the Venetian mask and butterflies but they sold out before I could get them - couldn't believe it! Any chance of you bringing them back???

hi sue,i would just like to say,sorry you are not here with the new spellbinders on create and crafte. it is not the same without you. i take it that you are in america as the lady doing the spellbinders,said that there had been a craft show over there. or you are looking after mum. hope to see you soon. love bluebell-flowerwood.

Mac Mable said...

This is the card that I saw on c&c that made me buy these dies. Absolutely love the card and the colours. On TV I thought it was the apature that was left after cutting the bauble out on the white card and you'd used a blue card as a backing card. Just love it and thank you for sharing it with us. Beverley x

Lacelady. said...

I love the pearls, it gives the card a real richness to it.

Wow, Spellbinders sold out on C&C in no time at all - too big a bundle for me, as flexipay is only available in the UK.

HiggiSue said...

Wow Sue....simply perfect. I must use my bauble dies as they are still in the packet. Now I can see how stunning the simple shape can be. Happy weekend

Meg Owen said...

Very pretty card Sue. it reminds me of baubles I made for my tree many years ago.
Ladies if you want pearls..try your local charity shops or jumble sales.
You can find some really great beads to use in your crafts.
Watched the C&C shows but didn't get any of the dies this time..must make the most of the ones I already have.
Happy crafting.

Hello Sue,
This card sings to me it is a real WOW. The pearls, embossing folder and your georgeous bow I really love it.
Julia was great yesterday I could not afford POW but then one of the smaller sets had the Butterflies, Venetian Sets and Blossom 5 in. then she pointed out a card with the small mask on, the mask had been covered with Micro beads, that was it - I knew that I `needed` that set. Yes I got in before it sold out.
Looking forward to some CHA pictures tomorrow.
Have a great day, love Bren

Hi sue lovely card as usual I would have to use cosmic shimmer glue or sequins to make this as the pearls would cost a small fortune to buy in london!! I was gutted I couldn't get potw but its same time of month as potd from last month! Wanted to get the venetian set but it had sold out gutted love lesley xx

I loved this when saw on tv, then thought how about using similar technique on a different shape using buttons or maybe lots of tiny punched flowers, or the cosmic shimmer pearl glues, or even mixed beads. now I'm gettin carried away sorry. sue I'd like to know approx sizes of your cards on your posts. just a thought x
