Hello blog friends! You may be wondering what the title of this post has to do with anything, but it is the name of the embossing folder that I have used here. If you recall, I said that there had been a mix up with the embossing folders from the last show. I thought that this one was to have been one of the products, but it was delayed. Well it is finally here! For this card, I stamped my sentiment and then scored a line above and below it. I used the Tied Together folder and embossed the area below the line first, leaving the top half out of the folder. Then I embossed the area above the line, leaving all of the rest of the card out of the folder and off the end of the base plate so that it would not be flattened. I used the Cosmic Shimmer Gold PVA glue to make dots at every intersection in the embossed piece and I set this aside to dry well. I wanted to be able to see the dots from below the ribbon so I had to do them first and allow them sufficient time to dry. I attached a piece of ribbon across the front of the card then I tied a big double bow using the champagne coloured frilly edged ribbon and attached it to the front with a glue dot. I find this easier to do than to tie the bow from the ribbon that I have wrapped around a card and I can usually get the bow to sit the way that I want this way too. Using a piece of decorative card from Graphic 45, I cut a spiral flower and attached it to the centre of the bow. The rest of the card was matted and layered with gold metallic cardstock to match the PVA dots and cream card. I did a bit of piercing on the edge to frame the card.
I have included a few close ups for your perusal too. I think this would be lovely in a white on white format for a wedding card too, just using the pearl PVA instead of the gold and a simple change of sentiment.
If you have not tried any of the Cosmic Shimmer Pva glues, they are a sheer joy to use and I think they add so much extra to a card. I highly recommend them (but I'm biased! LOL) I hope you like today's choice for the blog. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, if it's ok with you I will give you just a few words today (that will make a change won't it):-
Accomplished, Commendable, Exemplary, Exquisite and Laudable - synonyms of the one word that says it all 'Perfection'.
Sue you have created the perfect framework to a perfect quotation.
Regards Linda
This is so gorgeous Sue. Simple design but so elegant and classy. I agree that it would look great as a wedding card. Must use my embossing folders more.

Hi Sue, what can I say that I have not said before. Fantastic card the gold and white works very well doesn't it. I used this colour on some of my Christmas cards. I also wouldn't be without the cosmic pearl glue either, fantastic product. Lots of love. Jenny L
Absolutely gorgeous as always Sue. x
I absolutely love this Sue. Loads of delicious white space. EF is stunning and the bow a perfect touch.
Love the shows yesterday. I was gutted when he said last Sue show before xmas! I'm pleased you have this blog for my daily fix of Sue. Your like a tonic girl. xx Jan
I love this card. I have only recently found your blog via Create and Craft presentation.
Oh beautiful! Well done Sue, and it is a lovely folder, hmmn, now who's giving me money for Christmas?
As you say I think it would be gorgeous, white on white.
This is gorgeous Sue and would make a perfect wedding card. This is one to treasure. Jo x
Hi Sue, I am so glad you posted this one as i watched you do it on TV yesterday. I love this card. Yvonne xx
This is gorgeous Sue, beautiful embossing folder and your bow is fab. Apologies for my lack of comments, have been travelling to spend winter in Spain. Unfortunately I couldn't see your latest shows either, hubby still working on the satellite connection. I agree with the comment about you having a weekly show, it would be brilliant but at least you post daily so we can have our 'SUE' fix.
Hugs
Christine xx
What can i possibly say that i have notalready said before, i absolutely adore this card, the basic (but its not) concept would work for so many occasions and just changing the sentiment and colour makes it a card for all seasons.
The idea of auctioning your cards for GOSH is a wonderful plan.
Hugs Amanda x
So classic and elegant. I absolutely love this card. Karen x
It's beautiful Sue. Loved all your shows Tuesday and yesterday
Beautiful card. Really elegant.
this is a lovely card and really like the embossing folder - saw you demo it on C&C and it looked fabulous
This card is absolutely gorgeous, I thought that as soon as I saw it on C&C yesterday and the close-ups just confirm that. It is so understated but would stand out in a crowd.
Beautiful A lovely technique and a lovely result. Great show yesterday.
Fantastic card
Lovely background, Sue.x
I love this card, so elegant. I have watched all of your spellbinders (and recorded them all too) shows on Create and Craft. You have given me such inspiration to have a go, only trouble is I think it is going to cost me a fortune as I do not the Grand Caliba YET. Well done Sue Suzie B x
Ooh I gotta buy this folder it is beautiful and I love the way you have used it
Sue xx
I love this card it is so elegant and I cannot wait for my folder to come from C&C so I can play with it.
Hurrah home internet gremlin gone ( fingers crossed). Saw this on one of the shows and loved it so glad its on the blog for a closer look. I have ordered the folders as well so can't wait for them to arrive. Lol Lynne M
I absolutelely love, love, love this card. It is soooo stylish. I ordered my tied together folder earlier this week and can't wait for it to arrive now and do this card. I saw the black and white sample you posted a few weeks ago and adored it then. I think I will be using this embossing folder quite a lot as it is so versatile. Like you say it can be for a wedding card or anything.
Love Elizabeth

I watched you demo this card Sue..so elegant

Saw you demo this on TV. Lovely idea to leave an unembossed band on the card. Julia xxx
Beautiful card!
this is a very special card, love it!
Sue, saw this demonstration on C&C, a simple format but perfectly executed. Such an elegant embossing folder, and the un-embossed area shows the sentiment off so well. The cosmic shimmer pearls are so effective. A card that can be adapted for so many occasions. Love it.

Hi Sue
This is a favourite-love everything about it. Will really have to get the embossing folder.

A classic looking card - the bow deservingly gets the attention. I'd love to use that cosmic shimmer glue for dots but I would probably make a mistake and spoil the card. Its a clever product though because you can do the dots on a piece of plastic or your craft mat and pick them up when they are dry - Unfortunately I don't have the patience but its a more foolproof method cos you just transfer them on to your card without any mess. The new embossing folders are so nice - I ordered them and can't wait to use them. I suppose everyone is busy with preparations for Xmas - my husband is in hospital so I really don't have the heart for it at the moment but hoping and praying he will come out next week. Hope we see you again soon Sue - haven't seen all the shows but I recorded them and look forward to watching all the demos when I have time.
LOL lilygee xxx
What an elegant card. I haven't managed elegance in my cards yet - that'll be my quest for 2012!!
A truly beautiful card. I love the idea of the blank space for the text. I enjoyed your shows on TV and have recorded them all so that I can go back for reference and see any bits I missed!
Have a great Christmas and I (and all your followers)look forward to seeing you again in the New Year.
Frances
Sue, I absolutely adore this card. I watched you make it then ordered the embossing folders. If only I could be nearly as good as you, I would be ecstatic. I love what you do, you make is look sooooo easy.
Hi Sue
Absolutely gorgeous.
Bet
Like it? I love it :) It does have many possibilities as you mentioned, very, very pretty and elegant.
Hi Sue - FANTATIC!! ELEGANT!! CLASSY!!! Watched you make it on your show yesterday - but I am devastated, I said yesterday I had ordered the folder the evening before with a couple other items - that was the evening the on-line to C&C was not working correctly - so phoned up and ordered - but I was not happy with the way the conversation had gone...so to double check I called again yesterday to confirm my order and they said they had no record of it!!! By this time of course all stock was gone - so I am not getting it!!!! You can imagine how upset I feel - so now have to try and find it somewhere else - why don't you start an on-line shop!!! Hugs Kay x
Hi Sue
I do like this card, and the tied together folder is very is lovely.
Janet xxx
Hi Sue,
Absolutley beautifully simple and would make a nice wedding card too.
Carol x
Hi Sue, First i want to thank you for responding to my e-mail so quickly even after your busy schedule on C&C and Ideal.
This card is stunning, you're right would be great for a wedding card and the embossing folder says it all (Tied together)lol. This particular one you made would be perfect for a golden wedding anniversary!
I also love the graphics 45 papers-Please bring some for sale on C&C

Hi Sue,
I didn't see you demo this card but I saw the embossing folder on your previous shows and loved the folder then so as soon as I saw it on the web site I ordered it and I am looking forward to trying the technique as I think this card is elegance personified.
Lilygee, I hope your husband will be well enough to come home next week so you can enjoy Christmas.
love from Jackie D
Super card Sue
I love the simplicity of this card. It is stunning x
This is simply stunning and with a different sentiment would be suitable for many occasions.
:-)
Sue what a beautiful classy card, I love it. I was so looking forward to seeing you on C & C and missed the first 2 hour show as the website
crashed and I can only get it on the computer The following day I had an appointment and missed all the shows that day so in the end I did not see any of your demos, I was really annoyed to have missed them (bought the Grande labels 11 & 23)anyway so will watch for cards made with them
thanks again you are brilliant

A beautiful Card. Thank you for sharing your bog again this week as I had written it down previously as I love your cards and couldn't read my writing so had not been able to find it.
Stunning Sue...
Vicky xx
This is a lovely card and really like the embossing folder.
I have just caught up with my stockpile of recorded sue card demos ;) and this one was on there, its so simple, yet so effective! To anonymous above who missed out, there is a link on Sue's site to Sam Poole (look in the blog list in the right hand panel), she has a little online shop with a few things including embossing folders, but not sure she has this design. She does have lots of lovely ribbons, and stamps!
Hello Sue, Difficult to say anything that hasn't already been said about this card! Exquisite - did anyone else say exquisite? yes, I think they did - exquisite and very elegant and one I'll definitely try to do something like. (I thought Golden Wedding too, but TimeOut2Create thought of that first.) I was just thinking the tied together background is going give me rather a lot of practise with the cosmic shimmer dots when Lilygee's post reminded me about making them on the craft mat first - thank you for that Lilygee and I hope your husband will be home for Christmas too. Thanks again for the shows Sue, I hope you've had a rest today. Sue x
PS Just opened the door to get a log for the woodburner and the snow is settling outside ...
Beautiful card! Not nearly as busy as many of your cards, but absolutely wonderful. You make the most fantastic cards. TFS!
Lovely! Like the folder, the PVA glue dots and the pretty bow!

WOW - this card is fantastic -I just love the embossing folder on this. A definate must have. The use of the pva glue really ties it together.
Elaine
Beautiful card Sue, the background embossing is so stunning.
What a decptively simple & stunning card - I have yet to work out how you summon the patience to do all those pearls though!
Sue lovely card

Simple, but beautiful and elegant. I could see this being used for a variety of occasions.
Elaine J
Wonderful - 'tied together' would be so apt for a wedding card too!!
I just love this embossing folder tried to buy it but c & C web site was down and by time i got thru it was SOLD OUT.... baha. this is very pretty. I've been playing with the cosmic shimmer PVA glue its great although my black one keeps bubbling and spoiling so not sure how to get round that..

Hi Sue, Love the elegant simplicity of this card. One I'll definitely be using more than once. Thanks for sharing.
Blessings
