A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi there my crafty friends! It seems like forever since my last card giveaway so I hope you like this one. I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the Santorini decorative insert without the cutting edge in the top of the card. I cut a strip of card about an inch and a half wide and used the Scored Lines embossing folder on it for the bottom part of my channel card. I added mounting foam to both pieces for dimension and added them to a piece of bluish purplish card (from my stash), leaving about an inch gap for my channel. Next I cut three of the Splendid Swirls in white and attached them across my channel opening, slightly overlapping them. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inside die from the Kefalonia set. I used Shaded Lilac ink on it before removing it from the die. I seated it on to a mat that was first cut out with shape from the Kefalonia and then I used the next die down in the set to emboss the inner detail to it. I added them both in the centre with mounting foam. I completed the card with a couple of pearl corners as embellishments, then added my usual matting and layering with piercing of course!. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave me a comment. The winner will be posted on Saturday's blog post. Don't forget too that Friday will be the die winners announced, so lots of reasons to pop by the blog! All for5 now, Sue x
What a tonic on a very windy day where the weather can't make up its mind, wet, dry, wet, dry... got a grumpy dog as he can here the roadworks (now around 4 weeks behind), the wind blowing things over and because it's wet and windy he won't go outside, preferring to sit on his perch and yelp loudly at the heavy machinery as it moves in and out of his sight line! So a pretty card to pour over every detail of is a welcome distraction!
I don't have these particular dies but sure I could try similar with your other dies.
Also I have to say it's lovely to see 201 comments already by 1:50pm. It's so nice to see names new and old and I hope people stay on as you give so much time to us with a new card or a video to look forward to each day.
Well I must off, pretty tired after a shower and washing my hair. Going to try a strong coffee as there are things I really should get on with. Perhaps a coffee and an hours lay down is the best compromise... not a bad plan as Billy may be tempted to cuddle up, go to sleep and give my eardrums a rest!
Hugs to Sue and all the Wilsonettes, I have extra hugs if you need them. Hope you all have a lovely day.
HI SUE NICE WAY TO USE THE SWIRLS. FABULOUS COLOUR. JUST GOT MY ORDER OF THE PETITE ARCHED ADORNMENT AND NOBLE DIES CLASSIC ADORNED DESIGN. CANT WAIT TO PLAY WITH THEM. THEY ARE FAB.WONDERFUL DESIGN. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Hi Sue, love your channel cards an the colours you have used are so pretty, I think the splendid swirls is a great little die an those little round spirals are a brilliant idea I love them so so usefull. Take Care Melody xxxXxx
Striking! I love the combo effect of the lines at the bottom with all the swirling bits. Of course I love the colors too, what a contrast and flare this card shows, very eye catching. Another winner and reason I need to have ALL these dies. Thanks for the inspiration. GramGail
Beautiful card, and it would be a thrill to win. I am really loving your new collections. I have a question of the Wilsonettes. Sue's embossing is always so rich and deep, and I have some of her embossing folders, what type and weight of paper is she using? The cardstock here in USA must be different from what you use. I have been suggested by people here to use watercolor paper, but it is really really heavy. Mostly our cardstock is 12 x 12, and used for scrapbooking, and is not a very heavy weight. It also cracks badly. I can order smooth cardstock for stamping and alcohol markers, but it is not heavy either. It seems to be somewhere betweem watercolor paper and scrapbook paper. She always refers to the color, like "coconut white card", is it a certain brand?
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oh my, oh my.....just gorgeous Sue. Love the Santirini die and the gorgeous scoring at the bottom, wow! Beautiful swirls and loving the gorgeous colour too xx Amazing! xx Sending love and hugs to you and all the Wilsonettes that need it. xx Love Karen xx
Absolutely beautiful card today Sue. Love the colours and all the detail you put into making the card. Thanks so much for always giving us such good direction as to how the card is made. Have a great day.
Theresa says Hi sue and the lovely wilsonettes What a beautiful card sue x i Bought the embossing folder at ally pally and absolutely love it and its great to see different ways of using it x thankyou sue x there have been some wonderful comments that have been very heartwarming and I agree with every word x Theresa w
I am fairly new to SW Dies and wonder why I haven't bought them sooner. Love this channel effect to add depth and colour. A lovely fresh look. BarbaraJane
Hi Sue Such a beautiful card today, pretty colour, delicate & definitely one for the girls for all occasions. Loving your new die sets & want them all - Now !!! gorgeous card as always, stunning...
Txcowgirl - Sue always uses Foundation cardstock which is supplied by Creative Expressions. It is between 230gsm and 240gsm, I am sorry but I don't know the American equivalent in pounds. If you can find the conversion rate I am sure you will be able to source something suitable. Hope this helps. Frances
I love the colours you've used, they are lovely and work so well together. All the dies you've used work really well together and I just love everything.
