Joanna Sheens Victorian Christmas Cards CD Samples

Joanna launched a brand new Christmas CD on Friday

Joanna Sheens Victorian Christmas Cards CD

I loved making these samples for the show

This one uses the large topper on the printed sheet. I layered it onto gold and red and for the background I used torn papers to continue the snowy scene in the picture.

 I used the larger topper on the printed sheet plus one of the star decorations from the decorations section on the CD.  I scored lines and folded the star to make it 3D.  I put an acetate sleeve over the picture adding white dots all over for a more snowy effect. Both the backing papers are on the CD.

 I used the large topper and a smaller one from the sheet.  I made a shaker bauble with the smaller one adding a frilly lace edge.  I added tiny blue stars and gems all over the card! The backing papers are from the CD.

 I used a larger topper and smaller one on the sheet plus the backing paper and sentiment. This card is simply matting and layering with a lovely bright polka dot ribbon bow.

 I used the large topper and the backing paper that already had the small round image in the corner. The snowflake frame is punched out as is the red border at the bottom.

 I used one of the smaller images on the printed sheet with one of the sentiments. Everything else is cream card embossed and gently highlighted with Antique linen distress ink. The background was scored on my hougie board. I added punched holly, some gold papers and gems to finish.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I hope I've inspired some of you to have a go at CD crafting.

I'll be back later with my samples from the Vintage floral stamps.

Pressed Flower Wedding Samples

I made some sample Wedding invitations and cards for the Wedding Show that was aired on Sunday with Joanna Sheen. I will be showcasing one per day over the next few days.

Firstly, here is a picture of all of them for an 'at a glance view'.

My first card is the large Wedding verse card.

I printed the verse in grey along with the oval. I am not sure who wrote the verse that was shared with me some years ago.. I really like it so I put it on this card. All the roses are from Joanna Sheens Roses Pressed Flower pack available on her website and I used pva applied with a toothpick to glue them down. You can see a short video on Create and Craft from Sunday's show here

The close up shows little pearly dots on the card.. I used a glue pen and pearl press on foil..but you could also use a pearl pen for the same effect. I covered the whole of the front of the card with acetate - fixed with DST and hidden by the ribbon down the side of the card.

Thanks for looking

see you tomorrow

Country house sample cards

..More to come in January. These were launched yesterday on C&C on the Dawn Bibby show. Here are the cards I made in more detail.

This card was shown like this by Dawn

..but it is an easel card.....

..with a drop down draw bridge where I've added a little notebook and greeting

I stamped the brick stamp with purple ink onto velvet paper for the castle adding little glittered rectangles for the windows, I inked with Tim holtz seedless preserves ink for most of the colouring and stamping. The drawbridge wood is an embossing folder.

I used Thomas Kinkade backing paper to stamp the gates and for the background, so the gates blended in. The stone stamps are used to create the border around the card. Inside is one of Joanna Sheens wordy stamps

I stamped the stone doorway first and made a door to fit it, scoring with a scoreboard and adding extra texture freehand with the scoring tool. I stamped the urns and inked them a little bit to add dimension and filled them both with punched flowers and leaves. The brick wall is the brick stamped with distress ink and a water brush to colour lightly.

Stamped and gold embossed flower and coloured with promarker pens and layered. The leaves are from the JS Pressed flower rubber stamps
