Good morning my blogging chums. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Well, I'm just going to dive right in as I've been bursting with excitement to tell you all but some of my cards will be on John Lockwood's shows on Create and Craft today.
I was supremely flattered and just downright chuffed to be asked if I would like to do some samples for John using his gorgeous new stamp sets that will be featured on today's shows.
I hope that you can all tune in at 8am and 3pm, obviously to watch John but to also share in my moment of proudness (if that's a real word lol!!!).
These stamps are amazing and I'm not just saying that. . . . .they are an absolute joy to work with.
This means, I that I will be showing the cards over the next week or two, so I will do my bokeh demo after that and answer your bokeh questions then too, if that's ok ?(or you could read Jacquie J's explanation and I'm sure that will clue you up lol!!!)
Ingredients
Cream card (for the base, inked around the edges with Spun Sugar)
Milk card
Couture Creations Tied Together embossing folder
Striplet outer edge die (take your pick of the straight edged ones)
Square die
SB Bitty Blossoms (roses)
John Lockwood's Flower Heart Elements stamps
John Lockwood's Heart Striplet stamp
Versamark
Cosmic Shimmer clear embossing powder
Spun Sugar DI
CE pearls
The Striplet panels were stamped with Versamark on milk card and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then inked over with the Spun Sugar.
I then taped the 3 panels to my GC cutting plate at the distance that I wanted them apart and then added the 2 square dies to cut the centre and the channel for the roses (if that makes sense?)
The sentiment on my hand cut banners is "Engagement Congratulations". Doesn't show up too well on the pics but hopefully, you may see it ont telly!!!
Hope you can tune in to watch the lovely John in action and see my cards. Fortunately, its my day off so I can watch live.
Thank you to you all for your continued support. Makes this blogging mularky the fun that it is for me and I'm glad that I can give you a chuckle along the way.

Well done Ang, your cards deserve an airing on TV. They are streets ahead of some samples I have seen. Only saw a few minutes of the first show, but will watch on catch up later. Now it will be a spotting game, but I am sure John will mention you by name.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, and don't scream too loud.
Love this card.

Hi Ang,
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS and well done, you clever thing. Unfortunately, I didn't see the earlier show, grandchildren, school run and life seem to take over somehow, but I will see at least 45 minutes of the 3 pm show.
I have to say that this card is simply beautiful.

Ooh, Mrs Duck, I am watching the Prog. on Craft Extra as I type. Missed it on C&C at 8 this morning, because I took a sleeping tablet. Managed to buy three sets of stamps! Sadly I couldn't buy them all, but I could exchange your roses for one of my cherry blossoms (I could make them double), and I love the recessed technique.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your inspiration in the coming days.
Hi Ang,
ReplyDeletewonderful card , so elegant and I like your flowers.
Hugs

Well done you!! Fabulous card, so pretty and feminine. Will look out for it. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteAng, well done. Oh will we have to curtesy now when we meet you?? Beautiful card. Ang, these are Gillian's friends invites, these are the ones I am doing just now. Gillian's I will put up, I forgot I hadn't shown them. Her friend just wanted something simple and I let her look at different die cuts etc and that's what she choose, her day ones are slightly different. Her wedding, her invites. I just made them. She didn't even want the same colour of backing paper, she picked the papers, so that was that. Hazel xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang, wonderful card and I shall watch out for your card at 4 pm ,congrats to be chosen.Take care Jane B.
ReplyDeleteHi Ang, I am absolutely thrilled for you, and I hope I can tune in at 3pm show. Your cards are awlays wonderful so I am not surprised that John asked you to do some.
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous, beautiful colours and dies, way to go girl!!, hugs Kate x

ReplyDeleteHi Ang
ReplyDeleteJust watching the recording of the afternoon programme on C&C - congratulations! Super cards! I hope they will get an airing on your blog. Beautiful card today by the way. You designed a card with roses in a heart shape and I used it as inspiration for a 21st birthday card. It was greatly admired! So pleased your cards have received Tv accolades! Best wishes, Anne O
Proudness works for me!! A BIG well done you - not managed to watch the shows and forgot to Sky+'them but hopefully they will run repeats unless everything has sold out!! love the card and your channel set flowers are fab as always xx GailT xx

A big huge congratulations Ang, wow, you must be over the moon!! There will be jumping up and down and yelling 'that's me' as you point at the screen! (ok, maybe that's just what I would do). Gorgeous card my friend! I would have thought that was designer paper if you hadn't set me straight, silly me! Love the rose frame, works perfectly with the rectangle panels, amazing! Have a fun, proud day!! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Ang! I am clapping like a mad ducklet over your beciting news!! You have every right to be chuffed up with proudness and you deserve all the recognition in the world!! Bask away in the limelight, my dear! I wish we had John on our telly here so I could watch, too! Big hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeletethank you for your concern yesterday.
He had a very bad Asthma Attack after a nasty cold and cough.
First time he has had to go into hospital, and by ambulance as well.
Everything under control now, and he is back home tonight.
Your cards were so superb that were shown on C&C, and Nigel was very taken with them.
As Darnell said I was so chuffed for you.
Now not to much pruning of those feathers my girl, bigger things are sure to be on their way I am certain, and then plenty of time to prune.
I bet it was a rough night on the pond, last night too, or did it miss you.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
What a beautiful card!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Ang I am so very happy for you,I missed the show,but I can only imagine how your stunning cards looked
ReplyDeleteCongrats

Hi Ang, just had to comment again, managed to watch my recorded shows of John on Create and Craft last night. Loved all of your cards shown they were all Quackers, excuse the pun! Think you may be getting a phone call from C&C headquarters!!! your designs are beautiful. Linda.
ReplyDeleteHi Ang,
ReplyDeleteit's me again.
I have just realized as I am getting old and stupid, that I used the wrong word yesterday.
It should have been preening not pruning. lol.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
You must gave been so proud, well done you, what a huge confidence boost, I am Sure that John was excited to have your amazing cards to showcase his new stamps so perfectly , you make a good team!
ReplyDeleteI love your card today too, the three Striplets look like a pre-made paper, to say you made them from scratch just highlights how amazingly talented you are, you have me very tempted to gave a go a your 'Bokeh' challenge, but I am not sure I have the confidence!
Big hugs
