You're Never More Than A Thought Away
Hi crafters! I have a few more All In One samples to share and I just loved the bright colours from this one! I used a piece of acetate to start and added a sticky adhesive sheet to it. I peeled the other side of the backing paper off and coated it randomly with all colours of the Holographic Glitter. I cut the You're Never More Than A Thought Away die in white and glued it to the top of the acetate (glitter was on the other side of the acetate). I cut the scalloped backing piece in white and glued the die cut to it. I used the Flourish Border Frame embossing folder in white. Using mounting foam to raise it slightly, I attached the die cut to the centre of the embossed background. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Fabulous card Sue, love the colours xx
ReplyDeleteWoah Sue I'm speechless. What a fantastic background, I'd have to have gazillions of confidence to put acetate AND sticky sheet together, that sticky sheet is bloomin evil you need 4 eyes one for each corner so that it goes on even but the end result is mind blowing. This is a stunning sample, the beautiful pattern with the folder the background and your all in one die, who could ask for more (but you always give more than we ever expect) but just love. Enjoy the beautiful day in the uk today try and find a quiet nature walk to lift your spirits if only for half an hour. Thinking of you all xxx

What a lovely card and beautiful sentiment. Thanks Sue x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. That die is fabulous. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone, wow I love the inspiration you've given us today. I love everything about it, great quick card and yet the die and details make it look like you've taken time to make it. Love the use of the acetate on the sticky sheet, like Steph says well done on sticking that one down. The sparkle on it looks amazing though. Hugs Donna xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, love the colour of the glitters and card.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteHappy thoughts to everyone x
My goodness what a stunner of a background. That is beautiful. Never tried that one before but may have to rectify that. It will work brilliantly with my winning ‘Surprise’ die won’t it x
Another beautiful sunny, blue sky kind of a day here in Croydon. Shame it’s not going to be like that over the Easter weekend but not surprising. Planning on a small (within the rules) get together in the garden on Saturday with family. I think it will be thermals and hot water bottles all round! x

Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteYes, a definite WOW card today, the background is amazing. I am sure there will be sticky sheets and acetates out all round. I keep a jar of my mixed up leftover holographic glue (a hint from you) and could see that working here too.
I got my first Covid jab today, so far so good!
So glad to hear that you have lovely weather in the UK, the rain has finally stopped and we have had some lovely autumn days, fingers crossed for Easter too

That’s lovely, I like the fact you have all the sparkle and glitter but a lovely smooth surface. Yet another idea from the fantabulous Sue W!

This card is another type of “just because “ card and that’s my favorite. Letting someone know you’re thinking of them, especially during this time, is a good thing to do. This card is a beautiful way to do that.
