Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway

 Hi my crafty friends!  What a whirlwind the trade show has been!  Three days of demoing my new die line, talking to stockists and getting feedback.  I am officially over the moon with how well they have been received!   Thank you so much for helping me get the word out about them.  Just to answer the emails and comments asking,  the dies are not being launched on C &C, just our Creative Expressions stockists!  You  have done such a great job of letting your local retailers know that you would like them to carry the line, thank you so much!     I will come down from cloud nine now so I can talk about today's card.  I embossed the background with the Interlocking Circles embossing folder for some background texture.  I matted it with periwinkle card.  Using the Raindrops on Roses die set from Heartfelt Creations, I cut four of them in coconut white card.  I glued them to the four edges on my background.  Next I cut a labels 18 in white and did a matching "Faux nestie" in blue by tracing around the outside of the die and hand cutting it to match.  I mounted this in the centre of the card on foam.  On a separate piece of paper, I stamped the floral bouquet from the Majestic Morning collection, coloured and cut it out.  I mounted it on Labels 18 in the middle of the card as my focal element.  I tied a messy bow out of sky blue seam binding and added a white crystal sparkler to the centre.  I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with a small tag die and tucked the end under the bow embellishment.  I finished with a double white pierced mat layer and added some flatback pearls as embellishments.  Finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size.  Don't forget to leave a comment on today's post to be entered in the drawing for the card!  I will announce the winner's name on the Saturday post.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
Really pleased to learn the decision was yours! So delighted for the smaller Craft Shops and for those who don't wish to , or can't afford to buy bundles of dies all at once!
As with everything else you do careful thought and consideration for others
Thank you!
Love Myra

So glad you are not launching them on C&C. I own a craft shop and usually C&C get exclusivity on most products. This means that by the time I am able to stock them that most people have bought them already from C&C!!

Nan said...

Love this card! The die cut reminds me of Battenburg Lace.

Hi sue and gang. Beutifully done I live this card. I have bought a few of the majestic blossom stamps and the die set and love it. I was in my local crafty shop here in killie and naughty Cheryl (the owner) hadn't told me she had ur dies in stock! As my hubby had said no more crafty goodies! Anyways she knew my 40th is in a few weeks and would u believe it she gave me the filigree bow set as a gift. Wasn't that genourous!! I'm over the moon woo hoo that and my striplet that I did get sneekily lol
Love Tracy from killie xx

Hi Sue
This is such a pretty and elegant card. Another favourite colour combination. I love that die it really looks as though its lace. Overall simply stunning. I'm glad you had a good time at the shows. You really do deserve all the praise you got, the dies are gorgeous and the best on the market in my opinion.
