Joy To The World

Morning Friends and Crafters. Today I am sharing a card I made using the 'Winter Wonderland' Signature Collection from Sara. It's been an absolute favourite of mine. Such beautiful colours and packed with coordinating luxury cardstock, paper pads, Dies, stamps and embossing folders. A must have that will enable you to create all of your Christmas makes. I also have some INCREDIBLY EXCITING NEWS to share, I am fit to burst....

You will need:
Winter Wonderland Snowflurry
Winter Wonderland Snow Season Stamps
Winter Wonderland Festive Wishes Stamps and Die Set
Winter Wonderland Fluttering Snowflakes Embossing Folder
Winter Wonderland Luxury Matt Mirror Card Winter Blue & Sparkling Silver
Sheena Stamping Crad
Centura Pearl Card Base
Centura Pearl
Chipped Sapphire and Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink 
Tacky Glue
3D Glue Gel
Foam Pads or Foam on a Roll

Step 1: Cut a piece of Sparkling Silver 6 3/4 x 6 3/4''

Step 2: Cut a piece of stamping card 6 1/2 x 6 1/2, then emboss.

Step 3: Cut another piece of Sparkling Silver 5 1/2 x 5 1/2''

Step 4: Stamp and emboss a selection of snowflakes and heat emboss them. Also with silver embossing powder add the ' To The World'. Finally blend your ink from the outside, towards the centre, using the lighter colour first.

Step 5: From Centura Pearl, cut the edger die to form a decorative tag for the centre of the card.

Step 6: Create a banner from a piece of embossed card and tint with the same inks.

Step 7: Cut out 'Joy' twice and layer up with Tacky glue

Step 8: Assemble your card elements as shown in the photo. Raise the centre panel by using foam pads or foam on a roll.

That is your card complete.

Thank you for joining me today, I do hope you will stop by again very soon to see what else I have to share with you. 

I have been so looking forward to telling you this news, for a long time now I have been designing something very different. I have visited Hochanda and I am pleased to say that I will be launching my new collection on Hochanda very, very soon. I will share more details later. I really hope you like what I have to offer, I am extremely pleased with the whole collection and I can't wait to share with you.

I do hope you have enjoyed the tutorial and the finished card I have shared. See you soon, For now Take care and Happy Crafting.xxx

  1. Morning Nick, such a beautiful sample today, I too love all Crafters Companion stuff, I think Sara is fantastic, she has achieved so much, and you will be an asset to the team.

    I will have a play on this one after the weekend, as I have a big family wedding to go to, so not much time. Also looking forward to seeing you on Hochanda with your samples and demo's.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  2. Nick, I have been watching your comments and blogs on Hochanda and I think on Create and Craft before that
    and I have always thought you should be up there with your own designs. I also think your own things are much more interesting than the clean designs of both crafters companion and Clarity. They have got you where you want to go, and when you arrive there I hope you do well. Sue

    1. Thank you so much for your lovely comment Sue, You really have been with me a long long time then, I am so touched. I have always wanted to do my own thing, but didn't ever want to bring anything that is already out there, so the collection I have will be different, I hope not too risky but I am very proud of it and hope people like the things I have to bring. Thank you again.xxx

  3. Morning June, I am so happy you like the sample here. Sara really knows how to put a wonderful collection together and you know it will always work together.

    I hope you have a lovely time at the wedding, big Family one are always good and you often get to see family you don't always get to see.

    I am also very excited to be sharing all of my own designs with you and hope you like what I have to come. I am also a little bit nervous. Thank you again.xx

  7. Beautiful card and great tutorial.
    Amazing news! So very excited for you,you must be fit to bursting with excitement yourself. Have thought for a very long time that if you should do your own range of products. If I took the time to go through all my comments on your blog,back somewhere in the past I remember saying that it was something that I really felt you should do. Good luck with the collection.
    Thank you for sharing Nicola x
