Joanna Sheen's 15th Anniversary TV Show Samples

Joanna Sheen has been with Create and Craft for 15 years this week! Time does fly by I remember watching her very first show on Ideal World selling beautiful Pressed Flowers.!

To celebrate the occasion Joanna had some wonderful bargains throughout the 4 shows which resulted in almost total sell outs! Congratulations! Joanna.

I made some of the samples that were shown over both of the days shows. I will be adding the samples over the weekend. To start with below are the samples I made using the new Signature Dies Fairy Door dies.

I designed these 3 fairy doors for Joanna

 All the little flowers were cut from printed pages from the Holly Pond Hill CD Rom

 I made 3 little toadstall shapes, added the doors and then a piece of

folded card lifts each of them like an easel along the path which was cut

out pieces of card stuck down to look like paving (with a little glitter Lol)

 The plastic bubble here is a recycled piece of packaging left over from 

Christmas tree chocolatehanging decorations! 

I used circle dies to make the portal shape adding gems. I die cut the fairy door a few times colouring one brown for the wood and one from black card and paper pieced them together.

The door has a view beyond (a picture printed form the Holly Pond Hill CD) and I made the little sign and wrote Secret Garden using white gel pen.  I used Moss around the edges.

I coloured a piece of A4 card using Distress Oxide ink pads. 

 I smudged  the ink onto the craft mat

then spritzed it with water and dragged the white card through it - quite a few times - drying it off before each layer of ink.  Once it was dry I die cut each of the doors twice out of the sheen and swapped the doors of each over to create the rainbow looking doors.. I did have to add a bit more ink using dry foam to add a deeper colour on the surrounds.  I used some Rainbow ribbon from my stash along the top of the landscape A5 card.

Art Nouveau card

I made this card using the latest dies that I designed for Joanna Sheen.

I folded and cut the centre step card adding the black panels each side and the border.  I used a Green and Pink patterned A4 card sheets then I die cut the Signature die - Hydrangea Frame twice, cutting out the pink Hydrangeas to place over the top of the green ones.  The Signature Dancing lady die  was cut out of the White, Pink and Green card and then paper pieced together as you can see on the card. The lovely Signature  Art Nouveau Mirrored corners  were cut from the green card as well as the Happy Birthday 

I had to add some bling to the card so there are pearls in the middle of each Hydrangea and tiny ones for the necklace on the Cameo lady and lots of very pretty tiny AB rhinestones that really do twinkle!

I can't wait to play with the other new dies that Joanna released just before Christmas!
