Hello there my crafty friends! A little fire and ice for you today! I just love this technique and can't stay away from it for very long! LOL I started by cutting the decorative inner die from the
Dorado Gemini die into the side edges of a piece of
coconut white card. I then covered the front with a
sticky adhesive sheet and applied
Summer Meadow gilding flakes to the cut out areas on the back of the piece (they show through the front when turned over. Next I trimmed the edges even using just the outer cutting edge to the Gemini die. I peeled the backing paper away and covered the front with
Iced Snow. I cut a thin black shadow piece and glued it behind and attached the entire piece to a larger white piece of card. I added four
pearl decorative corners to the back piece. Next I cut the
Maggie die in black. I covered a piece of black card with a
sticky adhesive sheet and cut out just the outline of the
Maggie die. I peeled the backing off and attached the decorative die to it, then gilded the exposed adhesive with
Summer Meadow gilding flakes. I cut a circle aperture in the centre of it then added mounting foam to the back. I stamped my sentiment (from the
Fabulous sentiment stamp set) and centred the
Maggie die over it, then trimmed away the excess card. I mounted this piece in the centre of my card, added my usual mats and layers to finish it off. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning dear Sue. Hope my Sunday smiles got to you at some point yesterday.
Today's card is sheer decadence, it's amazing how guilding flakes can bring so much luxury to a few pieces of plain card. If you were to put the same exact samples side by side, one with the fire and ice and one without, I wonder how recognisable the without would look...... I know what I'm trying to say just can't explain myself lol I'm sure Beverly S from the fb group could do what's in my head and put both side by side to show how the fire and ice can take the same card and dies from an already pretty card to a real decadent luxury gift for that special day, think I will stop there as I'm sounding like I've lost the plot !
Hope you start to feel a little better as the day goes on dear Pam, take a good rest and look after yourself xx
Hoping you have a good day Sue, sending hugs xx
Striking card today Sue! Debra x
Lovely card Sue , like the fire and ice technique.
Pam take care and don't rush back to work to soon. JJxx

GM Sue. Love the fire and ice look. I tried your heated pearls technique for the first time yesterday. Good fun and the effect is interesting. I did one with mica and another using pixie powders. Not sure I used enough glue or powders or heated it for long enough. It bubbled as you said it would. Some bubbles flattened back but others did not so it looks quite warty! Any tips on a future post when you use it in one of your cards would be appreciated. Yours looks flat mine is definitely not!
Hi Sue, what a lovely card today Sue, so warm and lacy,
thank you,
lots of love and craftihappiness everyone,

Hi Sue and the Wilsonettes. Haven't commented much recently been busy decorating and my daughter is having a bad time of it with her fibromyalgia. Can hardly move sometimes which is very difficult for us all especially a 16 year old.
Yet again another gorgeous card Sue. I do check your blog most days but don't always have a chance to comment.
Hugs to everyone who needs one.

The result you get from this compounding flaking is amazing. Your "Fire & Ice" technique is stunning! Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Like so many, I love the 'fire and ice' technique. As you have shown in this very elegant card, it can provide some very dramatic effects. Thank you.
Teresa
Very pretty card.....it turned out awesome

What a lovely card, ideal for a man but also lovely for female birthdays. I do love using the gilding flakes & the effect they give. Thank you Sue!
Great effect I haven't used gilding flakes in a while I must play!
Lovely and just seen preview of your new Christmas dies! Wow!

Hi Sue
I forget how opulent gilding wax can make a card. Fire and ice is so gorgeously sparkly. Not tried that yet but it is another of those technique's that are on a long to do list. This is such a sumptuous card and looks incredibly extravagant and far too expensive for the likes of someone like me x
Thanks Sue for another beautiful work of art x
My heart goes out to the victims and their families in Florida. Such a heartless tragedy which just makes no sense at all. Such a dark act of wickedness and it saddens me to see such a mindless act of violence that can result in so much heartbreak. This is something that is happening too often.
TRACY and dad, TINA and Mick, ELAINE and Andrew - warm hugs to all of you x
NORAH - hope you have a healthy Harry before Thursday x
PAM -I know it is really difficult to behave and do as you are told is difficult because we are always right but on this occasion you need to put you feet up. Rest up girl x
MARIA - Bamse kram right back at you. I'm going to need one. I will be persevering with another Skype with nobby no mates shortly. Been trying to prepare myself mentally and physically. I feel sorry for Laine not having any friends but it makes it really tough for me having to put all my energy into being nice to her. Anyway I will carry on being a martyr in the hope that I will be rewarded in heaven x
JACKIE - I so feel for your daughter - gentle hugs x
LORRAINE - how are your poor feet? Huggles x
WHEELY - hope you're OK. Sending love x
Best go now to prepare for the exhausting task ahead of me. I just wish Laine was not so needy and didn't play the sympathy card with me!!
Can I ask am I the only miserable person who is not happy bout the football taming over on the telly?
Enjoy the rest of your evening
Crafty hugs

Hello Sue,
This is a beautiful card today! Really gorgeous!
Sorry I'm late been at After School Club and my patience almost ran out!!
Thank you. Love Myra x
Gorgeous card again. Love the colour combinations so regal looking with your wonderful dies.
Beautiful card Sue, lovely colours.
WOw Sue this is absolutely gorgeous, i do love your fire and ice technique
I love the beautiful detail on the sides and must get that die.
And i really love the black too, just love everything about this one.
Definately one of my top favourites.
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card. I love iced snow glitter it makes any card spectacular.

Lovely card again Sue, love doing the fire and ice technique too. Anne x
Wonderful fire and ice card Sue. The Maggie die is fast becoming my favorite!!!
Superb card Sue, love the fire and ice and I really must have go as I have the ingredients.
Yvonne, I agree with you over the terrible event in Orlando. My youngest daughter has taken it very badly as she is gay so feels a connection. Makes my blood boil that gun activists are still defending their rights to bear arms. No one needs automatic weapons. Sickening.
Well done Andrew and keep on improving xxx
Hope Mick and Tracy's Dad are doing well.
I am sorry to hear your daughter's fibro is playing up Jackie. I find it's better to try and keep going even if it's at a reduced level but sometimes bed is the only answer.
I made two cards yesterday and I was pleased with how they turned out. Today I decorated a mdf babygro to go into Harrison's room.
Granddaughter and her partner are getting the keys to a flat on Thursday.. it's in the next town over so my daughter will really miss them but hopefully it will ease some of the strains.
Cooked up some cinnamon rolls today as they were prepared ones and had been in the fridge a while. They were scrummy but no good for my diet.
Will sign off now.
Sending love n hugs to all xxx
Stunning card. Love the fire and ice and the Maggie die is a firm favourite. The Gemini Dorado is so pretty, pity I don't have it.
Take care everyone.
Beautiful card Sue. Thank you for sharing this with us. Sorry I am late commenting. I just don't know where yesterday went. Went so fast I just couldn't keep up.
Love your card sue x your fire and ice always looks beautiful x

Hello Sue,
Just love today's card - it really is stunning! Love the colours and the different textures in the bow are beautiful! Can't wait to see the new product as it looks as if it may have a bit of sparkle to it when the light catches it.
Thank you!
