Sneak Peek

Hi there crafters!  I have a sneak peek for you today for the Weekender shows on Create and Craft tv tomorrow and Sunday.  I will be demonstrating my new Festive dies on shows at 9, 12 and 6 on Sat. and 11, 2 and 7 on Sunday.  Today's card features one of the matching bauble stamps, it is so pretty!  I started this card by simply embossing a piece of milk card with the new Swirling Holly embossing folder.  Using the Vintage Bauble die set, I cut out the corner holder die out of soft gold card.  I stamped the Snowy Brook Bauble in Clear Perfect Medium pad and embossed it in gold.  I cut it out with the outline bauble die, added the matching die cut bead cap in gold and hung it from the holder in the corner.  I stamped just the oval centre of the stamp again in black and cut it out by hand.  I coloured it with Distress markers and then placed a piece of sticky adhesive sheet over it and trimmed it to shape.  I peeled off the backing paper and coated it with Diamond Sprinkles for a bit of bling.  I mounted it back on top of my bauble with foam mounting tape.  Using the Filigree Poinsettia die, I cut out several in gold to make three flowers.  I used the Classic Poinsettia cut out of milk to layer behind them.  I added the three flowers in the lower corner with some filigree leaves in milk card.  I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in gold and mounted it on the diagonal above my flowers.  I finished the card with a pierced milk mat, a thin gold mat and a final milk coloured mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size.
  As promised, I am going to be doing the drawing for the blog candy later today so please check back to the blog in the afternoon to see if your name has been drawn as the winner!  All for now,
