Now, a quick rundown on today's card. Another card done with Kraft card as it is so lovely to work with. I decided to pick a bunch of decorative kraft card, some stripes, some fleur de lis and some script all on kraft type card. I used Labels eleven as my background die and the postage stamp dies for my sentiment. I did some light inking around my sentiment to bring it out a bit. I made three flowers out of the cottom hemp ribbon by cutting it down the centre. That gave me two pieces to play with, both with a cut edge. This time, I left the cut edge to form the top of the flower to give it a more distressed look. I love the natural fibres you get from this ribbon. You can see them in the close up photo. I put the selvage edge to the redline tape and rolled the ribbon to form a flower. I will be posting a tutorial of this very soon that Sam Poole photographed for me over the holidays so keep checking back! I added some of our green suede leaves to my floral spray (Sam Poole has these and the ribbon available on her online shop too). I added some black rhinestone to the card and three black glints to the top corner. I finished the card with our black PVA glue dots to frame the card. Kraft card is quite popular now and I have to say, I for one am loving it too! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and all, well done to the winners. I love today's card, I watched you make the cotton hemp ribbon roses on C & C, you made it look so easy but I am sure it is going to take a bit or should I say a lot of practice. I love the colour combination you have selected. I have ordered a few die's so can not wait for my iron works to arrive and have a play, you have given me so much inspiration, so many thanks. All the best Suzie B xx
Really lovely. I'm a huge Kraft card fan too. Congratulations to the winners :) xx

HI SUE
LOVELY CARD
FROM DEBBIE
Hi Sue
What a card! Like the way u have got smaller dies towards the sentiment at the front. Fallen in love with the swirls on the card. Made one yesterday but doesnt look quite right. Same with the flowers. We all seem to be struggling with them. LOL . Do u do classes think u would be fully booked hehe.
Have to go searching for grand calibur dies for my new machine yo.
Well done u winners.
Born again spellbinder

Another classy card Sue, it looks so Regal. is the Kraft card a teeny hint of what is to turn up on C & C in Feb I wonder. Every day you amaze me with your choice of colour, this has made me experiment a bit more with colour mixing, one tends to gets stuck in a rut, I am having trouble getting away from blue...
Hi everyone.
Congratulations to all 4 winners.
Sue, fantastic card. I am loving the use of backing papers and rhinestones it gives a very regal look.
Can anyone tell me what glints are? They look a little like large jems. I tried putting the term into a search engine but I am none the wiser.
With love and light
Theresa H

Another lovely card Sue. The Kraft backing papers you use are super, are they available in the UK. We seem to miss out on the lovely products over here, it a shame.
Love the colours of this card and the distressed look of the flowers.

Who'd have thought that spots, stripes and fleur-de-lys could go together so nicely? It really does work well.

Hi Sue Todays card is absolutely beautiful, where can we buy the Kraft papers, do C.E. sell them?
Another gorgeous card Sue, brilliant.
I got some felt yesterday and made some felt flowers, now I am addicted and can't stop putting them on the cards I made today, they look so different to the ones made from paper/card. I just need the foliage set to finish them off.
Vicki
Love these textural flowers as well. It is amazing what can be made with either a bit of felt or a bit of ribbon.
Another good bunch of flowers!
Looking forward to the flower tutorial, love those flowers, very shabby chic!
WOW! I have double-double checked and I think I am the lucky one who is going to give a loving home to an orphan. Congratulations to all the other winners. Thank you Sue. Love todays card, so easily adapted to suit a man, such lovely papers.

Well done Sue!

Hi Sue,
Well this will probably be very strange to you, but today's card reminded me of a coffee stained tea-towel! However, the more I looked, the more I realised I'd missed something lovely and it was a Calypso coffee (Tia Maria) in a Regents Park Hotel. Rich sultry coffee topped with thick swirling cream while surrounded by walls of beautiful vintage paper!
lol... Please see the funny side as I think your card is really lovely!
GLINTS, Therea H, are usually round glass or acrylic pieces that you can use to highlight a small picture or word on card/paper. They come in different sizes and are adhered with glossy accents so they remain clear.
Best wishes Linda
love your cards. the colours in this one are so rich.
Gorgeous papers, all works beautifully together and I love the ragged edge to the flowers.
Another great card Sue all works well together wish my cards and flowers looked half as good
Theresa x
I love the luxuriousness of this card because of the colours. I can also imagine it it spring and summer colours which would give it an altogether different but beautiful effect
Hi Sue,
Happy New Year to all! I'd been away tending to some family issues!I'm back now, I still received all sue's cards updates but miss reading all the comments.(Lindyloo's in particular!!)
Lovely cards sue, and you are such a tease!Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeves for February, better start saving all my pennies! LOL
Hope you're feeling stronger each day!
Hugs, Bim x
I love the idea of this card as it uses a sentiment with no image in sight for a refreshing change! Lovely idea. Yes, I love Kraft paper too, although I have bought the Kraft package from Pink Petticoat in different shades so I can print any shade I like to suit my project - so useful. Love the bling on this card too!
Ellie Maggie x
looking forward to the tutorial Sue!!!

Hi Sue, A very stylish card and I love the butterscotch colouring. I'm going to have to get that postage stamp die - it keeps cropping up and it always looks exactly right where you've used it. Congratulations to all the winners, Sue x
I never would have thought craft cardstock could make such a pretty card! You did a beautiful job with it.
