Firstly thank you al Sooooooo much for the wonderful support yesterday and through this period of change to me new John Next Door brand. The shows yesterday were so busy I hardly had time ti think trying to get more stock between shows so I didn't disappoint anyone!
I know I have said it before but I want to reiterate that none of this would be possible without those of my blog family who visit, whether you comment or not, every day It really is so special!
Roight Mushy over now nback to the crafting. I thought I would share this card today as It has a softer feel but shows what other things can be achieved with the Winter Stamps from the new range .
This card started out as an accident, it happens to all of us I know, as i accidentally smudged one of the trees. I stamped the tree from the winter trees set in the tea izink dye ink pad onto pearl acrd. I moved the card along 5am and stamped it again and repeated this once more to get three tress. I then used the mint and ocean inks and randomly stamped the leaves in the set over the trees. It was at this stage that I smudged one of the trees ( as the ink takes longer to dry on pearl card)
This gave me the smoky / misty look as seen on the trees. I repeated the process but didn't smudge the next one and I simply cut this out and mounted it in a gold circle ( using the CE pierced circles dies)
I mounted the crisp tree at one edge of the misty strip and added a border of more gold before making up the card as sown with the Happy Birthday stamped repeatedly across the bottom.
Again something different to do with the Joh Next Door range!
I have had loads of emails asking where the stamp press is available form as well as the rest of the range. There are lots of retailers who are stocking these there is a link to a couple on the sidebar.
I will be demonstrating the new John Next Door range at Inspirations in Preston Tomorrow and Friday as well as my selection form the Creative Expressions Christmas die range so pop in and see in person how to use the system and products!
Enjoy...
Morning John, well what can I say, your shows yesterday were a true inspiration to us all, you have shown some of your true colours by doing your own brand and what a fantastic creation they are, yes had to by all of them but didn't buy the press because I already have 3 others of different makes that do the same thing, they really are wonderful for those of us who have problems stamping, and as you said on the show you have had problems yourself before you found this. Anyway I am waffling now, just to say congratulations on a fantastic day yesterday, definitely going to try this one, so crisp and clean, easy as a batch card too.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy. hugs, June Smith xxx
good morning john xx congratulations on 2 fantastic shows xx all of yours and mrs ducks creations were all stunning xx i really am looking forward to what the future holds with your brand, if these are anything to go by i am sure they are going to be just as much a success xx lots of love and huggs to you xxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning John,
ReplyDeleteI loved this card yesterday, you told us it developed from an accident which made it more amazing. Keep the accidents coming when they are as stunning as this one.

Wonderful shows yesterday. Watched on catch up as hubby and l went to Leigh on sea for the day. Your demonstrations were so clear , now l know how to do shadow images, l always wondered how to get this effect and you showed us how.So glad it went so well you must be tired. Hope Mrs Duck enjoyed her day at the studio, her clock was outstanding. Looking forward to other shows from you. Kind regards Sandra

Good morning John,
ReplyDelete2 great shows yesterday, brilliant cards made with your fantastic collection you must be proud of yourself, and rightly so!
Looking forward to seeing you again on Hochanda.
Take care Jane B.
Eh up John
ReplyDeleteHave realised in the excitement of yesterday (and the blooming early start lol!) I didn't comment on yesterday's but will remedy that in a moment.
This was one of my favourites. I'm not usually big on pearl card but the effect you get with this is stunning.
You are only moving towards the success you deserve ...... onwards and upwards!

PS.....I'm still shattered lol!
What great shows, John. Many congratulations - you must be thrilled with the response. Another lovely card today.
ReplyDeleteAnne (Northampton)
Wonderful shows yesterday John, will try and get to inspirations on Friday, really need those gel plates
ReplyDeleteI have still not caught up on the recordings fully, but from what I have seen you were an absolute hit with this range. Well done - you deserve it for the hard work you put in. love the card today. WakeyL
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy did I learn so much from your shows yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI started off my card making journey by stamping but when the kits and cds came I went off stamping.
Well now I NEED to go back to it. I just need the jel plates which sold out before I had chance to buy. Must get in quicker when you get more plates in!!
Looking forward to seeing what you bring out next for us.x
Loved the new range and bought lots of goodies. Please can you tell me when the stamp press will be available so I can make proper use of my media plates when they arrive?
ReplyDeleteCaught your show on rewind. Thank you for the great demos learnt such a lot. Long my your shows continue on Hochanda x
ReplyDeleteGreat card John. Beautiful stamps. Laura O
ReplyDeleteI really loved this card when you showed it yesterday John. That soft misty look is so lovely. We all know there are no "mistakes" in crafting - just "happy accidents"! xxx
ReplyDeleteWell what more can I say John, so pleased for you that everything has been a great success. Just waiting now for my stamping press and gel plates to arrive and then to find some time to play with them. Love the effect you have created on this card, love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteHi John. You looked like you were really enjoying yourself yesterday once you realised we were all loving your products. Just got a couple of bits to buy to complete my set but by the time I got home the ones I wanted were sold out. I must be patient, I MUST be patient. SueL x
ReplyDeleteMorning John... Fabulous and nothing less than we would have expected. All the techniques you showed us a fantastic, seen as though i still work full time and time for crafting is very limited. Once again congratulations and well done, I cannot wait for the next edition. Any signs of any dies on
ReplyDeletethe way xxx
I love this card, but not sure I would have had the courage to deliberately try and smudge the other background trees lol. I know your first one was an accident but what makes you so good is having the courage to go back and make the others misty too.
ReplyDeletelove and hugs
Helen xx
Good morning John
ReplyDeleteThis card is so beautiful and the fact it came from a mistake means there is hope for me yet!
Yesterday was only the beginning of the success you so richly deserve, there is only one way for you no that is upwards.
Do remember to take some time each day to have rest we do t want you overworking, although we are all hungry for more of your fantastic products!
Have a great day recovering from yesterday.

ReplyDeleteHi John your shows yesterday were amazing. I want all the stamps and the masks they are brilliant. I do love the mixed media plates I have used them all ready. I put some funky foam in my stamping platform and it works a treat thanks for the tip. I wish you all the best for the future I can't wait to see what is coming next. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Hi John. I am so pleased you enjoyed the shows yesterday and it was great to see you back on TV. Keeping an eye out for the media plates that I massed out on yesterday. Of course I would have to fall in love with the oval one which was the one not available in the set of three.
