For Someone Special

Hi bloggers!  I started this card by embossing the background with the Diagonal Floral Vines Embossing folder.  Using a piece of dark card, I covered it with Rose Copper and Lavender Glitter Kiss randomly.  I allowed it to dry well while I went on to cut other parts of the card.  Once dry, I used the outer die from the Mallory set to cut into the Glitter Kiss piece.  Next I cut two of the Mallory die in white.  I glued one on to the Glitter Kiss backing and attached the other one vertically behind it.  I added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam.  I used the Jasmine stamps to stamp a bunch of them and then the matching Jasmine Flower dies to cut them out.  I assembled the flowers and added them around the focal element in opposite corners.  I cut the Magnolia Corner in white and cut it apart and used it as accents around the flowers.  I cut the For Someone Special sentiment in white and black and shadowed it then glued it to the inside of the Mallory die.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are
6 3/4"  x  8 1/4" in size. 

I have a little surprise for you today!  Through the use of modern technology, I will be popping in on Jamie Rodger's shows on Create and Craft today (via Zoom from my kitchen  LOL)!   Just a quick hello on his 5:15pm show, but I will be doing  a full demo on his 9pm show.  I hope you can tune in to see it (although I am a bit rusty, it has been about 9 months since I have demoed!)  I am looking forward to it though!   Hope you can join us!  All for now, Sue x

YAAAAY, WOOOHOO PARTY TIME WHOOP WHOOP out the kettle on Sue, what a shame we can't all zoom together lol (I don't have a clue) but hey what Particraft fun that would be although after seeing that horror box of myself when I've video chatted with my girl I'd be the one in homemade mask lol, what a brilliant surprise to wake up to I can't wait 😆
I'm just really loving the diagonal folder, it's the perfect background for this whole design.
I hope our family here are all well and feel particularly happy and excited after reading this post its been far to long since we've seen our friend and mentor.
Sending love to all. STAY SAFE STAY SENSIBLE KEEP CARING KEEP CRAFTING 💖 xxx

Hello Sue and all
I really must try to get on to Create and Craft somewhere on line, would be lovely to see a live Demo Sue. I really like the random glitter kisses on this card, the colours look so good together. Amanda is always pretty and the jasmines look fabulous, well I just can’t stop using mine since I got them

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a delightful sample this morning, love the glitter kiss colour in the background, and the embossing folder, did you use your white on white cardstock, it embosses beautifully.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue, another beautiful card to start off our week. I know that I keep repeating myself (it must be my age), but, I do love your magnolia corners.
Brilliant news about your demo tonight. Can't wait.You're much braver than I am, zooming from your kitchen. If it was me I'd be spending all day cleaning and tidying mine before hand, then be too tired to demo.lol

Good Morning Sue and all, what a fab card love the Glitter Kiss combo, 2 of colours I don't actually have, I sad though that I won't be able to watch the shows live so will have to catch up with them sometime tomorrow all being well, but I am sure even with the technology your demo will be fine, after all you are a pro.

Have a good everyone all be it a bit on the breezy side and cooler, perfect for staying in to craft.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. I love this card and there is something about the colours that you have chosen that I think gives a wintery feel so I think it would make a really nice "compliments of the season" card.

I don't usually watch C&C so may not get to see you on TV unfortunately.

A nice surprise for another "stay-at-home" day. I look forward to seeing you zoom onto my computer screen this afternoon.
I love this embossing folder and have ordered but it is coming via passenger pigeon and has not arrived as yet. I actually think I could make this card when it gets here! Very pretty (your sample).
See you!

Suzzette Yandle said...

Lovely combination of dies with your embossing folder. The first thing I saw when I looked at this design was thinking if I have this Diagonal Floral Vines 3D Embossing Folder, I would pair it with cuts using one of your Endless Options Backgrounds and matching Edgers Collection. I would alternate the cuts between the rows of the lovely embossed flower lines. Your sweet embossed flowers remind me of some of the embroidering I used to do, and used, when I was sewing heirloom baby dresses and Christening gowns. Looking forward to seeing you demonstrating on C & C by zoom. Hugs
