Happy Thursday,Firstly I would like to thank all of you for the wonderful comments I have received regarding my published pieces. Also thank you so much for the kind offers to get a copy for me, Val is going to the U.K. tomorrow for the weekend and is getting Wendy and I a copy! Mr Next Door is currently in Washington for work so he's not able to get me one (not that he would be able to manage the idea of posting one without the office mail room!)
Also Thanx Michele and others I would love to do TV maybe one day,( unless any C&C producers are looking in then I'm free now! lol)
Today's card is the last project I made for papercraft inspirations (milking it aren't I and its only a small article!) It is for the August edition and, as it was summer I thought I should try a, slightly, brighter colour and chose yellow.
Now this card is a little bit of a die cutting marathon as I used quite a few dies, OK a lot of dies, and tons of foam tape. There are over 6 different sets if spellbinders used for this card however in my defence I have collected them over a while and not all of them are new lol!
The base is a simple hand cut card base with a top fold however I die cut the edge of Spellbinders Bracket Borders 2 out across the top fold.
The reminder of the die cuts are simply layered on I simply cut the a different bracket top on each subsequent layer.I hope you have enjoyed the projects I have made for the article, I know I could have sent some of my old ones but any excuse!
Ingredients:
Spellbinders Bracket Borders 2
Spellbinders Tranquil Moments
Spellbinders Labels 18
Spellbinders Belly Band one
Spellbinders Foliage die
Marianne Foliage die (for the flower)
Cream smooth PMD Cardstock
Scattered Straw distress ink.
Back to normal service tomorrow!
Enjoy...

It's great to see your more complex style of cards in a magazine. I don't buy many craft magazines now (unless the free gift is good) since many of the articles are quite basic. Ideal for beginners, but not to progress. Your blog does that for many of us, pushes our boundaries a bit further. So, thanks John. Love this one too.
ReplyDeleteCheers

Morning John,
ReplyDeleteLove your card, looks very complex though, don't think I would get through this without a few mishaps.

Hi John. Lovely card, I love all of the layers.How's the packing going? Won't be long now. It would be good to see you on TV : )
ReplyDeleteSorry for those that don't want to think about it yet (I was the same until I started card making and especially your blog) but when are we going to start seeing some of your fabulous Christmas goodies for this year? If any of your projects are like last years lovely Poinsettia tree I will need lots of time to cut out the required amounts : ) Take care.
Hi John, a beautiful card. love the colours.
