Hi guys! I had forgotten that I had this card as it was made for some shows last August that I did. It was going to be one of the demos then we had to pull the embossing folder from the show at the last minute as the shipment did not show up in time! This is still one of my favourite embossing folders to use. It is called Tied Together. It is quite lovely to use with the Cosmic Shimmer PVA glues as I have done here. A little drop of it at each of the junctions really sets off the background, don't you think? This is a really quick card to put together if you make some of these backgrounds up ahead of time so the glue is good and dry. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the fancy tag die templates. I cut a second one out of a slightly darker card, then cut it in half and used it as a shadow for my sentiment tag. I added a big bow out of the frilly edged ribbon, matted and layered and added some black PVA glue dots to the last mat layer. Just to add a final bit of interest to the background, I added some black rhinestone swirls. I included a close up for you since they are difficult to see. I see that we have hit our goal for the big blog candy drawing. Yeah!! It will have to be put on hold until I return to England, but anyone that joins as a follower until then will be included in the drawing so not to worry! I have changed it to read 2300 followers on the blog, but if we hit that goal too before I return, we will just draw for both of the candy prizes then! All for now, Sue

Great card, love the use of the Tied Together embossing folder. Will have to pinch this idea for my anniversary card to my husband. LOL Lynne M
Hi Sue, good morning. Oh what another great card. I too wonder how you store your cards without damaging them. When I made my families 8" square Christmas cards, I found it very hard to store them without them bending, or being damaged.
Lots of love. Jenny L

Hi Sue
yes love this folder and has never been put away since i bought it, last time you were c&c. Would like to ask are spellbinders going to do an A4 embossing folder for the grand calabur? Would make life so much easier.
This card looks so rich, a case of less is more. Fantastic.

Gorgeous cards! I love the look of that embossing folder, something I need to add to my growing wish list!
This is beautiful Sue, I always find it hard to find a card that is suitable for a newly bereaved widower, and this is just perfect.
Obviously it is not a requirement to be a newly bereaved widower, but it would work just brilliantly!
WoW,WOW Sue what a card ,and I just love the contrast, and the embossing no card making for me to day I went to use my new dies and the handel og the grand calibur snapped, and it is only 4 weeks old

Hi Sue
I have to agree with you the tied together embossing folder cries out for the cosmic shimmer dots.
Another beautiful card

Hi Sue, Yet another winner. This card is stunning and that embossing folder is a must have. No one would know that you had not spent hours achieving this look.
Congratulations on all your followers.

Hi Sue how are you today, doing well I hope.
I rememeber when you first teased us with this on your white 'Tied Together' card of Dec15th. You said the embossing folders would be available soon and after seeing your card, everyone wanted one. I just adore it. You can even use it for mens cards; just leave off the pva and add Screw brads or nailheads. It takes on the appearance, vaguely, of chain links then.
Not long now and its CHA, hope you have some fun there.
All the best to you and your family. Linda
I love this embossing folder - the pearls look stunning.
Tracy x
Hi Sue,
Doesn't tied together look so different in black. A gorgeous card and I could see it as a mans card using heraldry dies.
Sue H. xx
Brilliant idea for a card. Will definately be trying this one out xx
Simple and very elegant. The PVA "pearls" and the swirly pearls really set it off nicely.
Hi Sue
The card and the embossing folder are amazing.
I haven't yet been brave enough to do so many cosmic shimmer glue dots!
Sue XXX
