Hello to everyone in blogland! I had almost forgotten about this card I made as it was the last sample I finished before Ally Pally last weekend. By the way, if you were able to make it to the show, you know how it went, but if you didn't, you missed two amazingly fun filled days of crafting! It was truly lovely to meet some of the faces to go with the names that I see on my blog regularly. Thank you so much for that!
This card uses the Spellbinders dies that were featured on the POTD shows last week too. Those fun flowers were made from the spiral flower die (the goldish one) and the edgeabilities (the black one with the button on top), plus I added one of our new zipper roses for variety! What can I say about those postage frame dies! I just love the edginess they give a card, not too feminine, not too masculine. I had to have a bit of fun and added in some of our new swirly pearls and Bakers Twine too. I am loving all the new embellishments we have, they make crafting a delight. I can't forget a mention for the black (non pearl) Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue I used around the edge of the card. To answer a question left on the last post, when it dries it is very hard, not tacky or squishy at all. You will have no problem putting your card through the post with them on it. I finished the card with the new Wonderful Wings dies from Donna Salazar. I used one of the solid dies first and cut the butterfly in black, then cut the matching frilly butterfly in the coordinating decorative paper from the background of the card. These are great die designs, you should see them in vellum, they're stunning! I hope this card tickles your fancy! All for now, Sue x

This is perhaps my favourite card of your last batch and inspired me to buy some of your beautiful swirly pearls.

What a stunning card, love the colour combo. I've just treated myself to the Grand Calibur from create and craft, can't wait til it comes, not that my hubby will be very happy but never mind!!

Gorgeous Sue, just love those decorative papers. I'm going to have a go at making some flowers with my edgeabilities now, thanks for all the inspiration.

Lovely card sue
stunning card with the butterfly, gorgeous layout. I wish i could have made it.
This is lovely Sue, I've had to order some of these zipper flowers and baker's twine x
What a stunning card here. I just love butterflies, so this is just right up my alley. And the colors are so great too. A wonderful creation again here. Love it.
Lovely card again, the inspiration is great. I cannot make cards as detailed as this because I make my cards for charities and it would reduce greatly the cards I make, but your cards really inspire me and are a joy to look at. Hugs Bee

This must be one of my favourites as it is simply GORGEOUS.
I've just been looking out scrapbook papers in these colors which go so well and the card is really elegant.
BTW You said on one TV programme that you had never done a scrapbook page. I started when my grandaughter was born so Leah could just be the trigger you needed!!
Wow, this card is gorgeous.
Fabulous just fabulous !!!
Another Fantastic card Sue. Loving the colours and the pretty flowers. TFS. Hugs Rita xx

I love what you do with those PVA glues. The dots look so perfect (spacing, size, shape). I don't think I could do anywhere near that nice.
This card is absolutely beautiful. You always make such lovely cards Sue. Keep them coming. Karen x
Sue, this card more than tickles my fancy it has taken my breath away x
The butterfly dies were really high on my want it agenda, but i would have prefered them on C and C without the letters. The card is lovely and very stylish as always.
What an amazing card, love the flowers and dots and the colours are beautiful. Regards, Anne Redfern x
Hi Sue

It certainly "tickles my fancy". Love all the embellishments.
Lovely card, Sue. I like the colour combination and the way you combine all those dies together. I just had to have some of those zipper roses and the postie delivered them this morning - gorgeous. Now I just have to make a card that will feature one. Elizabeth

Another beautiful card! I love the black and white/cream colors. I wish my spirals would come out as well as yours always do, lol. As always great card and I need to hang out with you, he he he. Mimi
Hi Sue, I started crafting because of you. I adore all the cards that you create and it cheers me up when I look at them. I invested and bought myself a Spellbinder Grand Calibur, hoping one day I can make a beautiful cards for my family and friends. Keep making more beautiful cards, so that others may find a new inspiration to life just like I did when I first saw you crafting on C&C. I would like to ask something if it is okay with you, where could I find this rubber stamp saying (Tagore) that you have used for this card. Many thanks, Aggie
omg...its so neat cute n lovely
I didn't like the Zip Roses when i first saw them, but I'm being weaned into them because you make them look so good!!! I had a load of small zips left over from my Sewing days but hubby has hidden them from me .... just in case a pair of non-existant yellow pants need a zip!!!!!! Silly man!!!xx
