Give Away Day!






Hi crafty ones!  Another Ornate Square card but this time, I have pared it with the Vintage Labels 2 die from JustRite Stamps.  I started with the background which I decide to letterpress.  To do this you just need to rub your ink pad all over the negative side of your folder.  I used the Venetian folder and Antique Linen with which to do this.  I closed my folder on my milk coloured card and ran it through the machine.  The ink was transferred to the floor of my design,  it is subtle but you can see it.  I cut the Ornate Square die in black and matted it on a piece of milk card and black card.  Next I stamped the Justrite Live, Love Laugh Vintage Labels Two stamp in black on milk card.  I lightly inked it through the die with Antique Linen distress ink.  I cut it out with the matching die and mounted it in the centre of my Ornate Square die.  I stamped my sentiment in the middle of the same stamp, but this time, I just cut around the inner line and mounted it on foam for dimension in the centre of my focal element.  I added some flatback pearls in black and some swirly black rhinestones to the top and bottom of the card.  I pierced the inner mat of my double milk coloured mat to finish my card.  If you would like to be in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment today!  I will post the name of the winner on Monday's post.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue,
Firstly I would like to let Cheryl (nuttinanni) know that she is in my thoughts, sending you hugs at this very sad time.
Today's card is another stunner Sue, I just received the embossing folders and masks I ordered during the Pow show, so I can sit and have a play with the letter press technique! Your sense of timing with my deliveries has been spot on for the last few days, your demo cards have matched my purchases technique wise! Thank you!!
I honestly don't know where I would be without your inspiration! Although my husband seems to think we would be a lot richer! Lol x
You seem to have the 'Delia' effect (whatever you use sells out at every retailer) like wax paper, cheap shaving foam etc, its hilarious x
Crafty hugs to all,

Hi Sue, a lovely card today with a brilliant sentiment. I have used the letterpress technique several times not always with the same degree of success as you have but I will persevere. I wish I could see how the different dies go together as you do; I sit for hours sometimes playing with several but still end up rejecting them all! I would love to win this card just to be able to look at it every day and say to myself 'if you try really hard you may one day be half as good as this'.
My sympathies to Cheryl (nuttinanni)on her loss and hope that her crafting and her blog friends help her through this sad time.
