Good morning all! Today is the day or rather tonight is the day that I launch my Lattice Motifs and Accents along with the other new release Spellbinder dies! 9pm on Ideal World kicks off a 2 hour launch and then I am back at midnight to 1am for those of you night owls! I do hope that you will be able to tune in and see all the fun new stuff I have in store for you. Finally, no more having to keep it secret! What do you think of the new Layered Flower die templates from Spellbinders? I absolutely love these, they are so lacy and pretty. You know me, I love all the frilly girly stuff and these really fit the bill for me. I decided on a black, cream and red colour combo for this card. I decided that all the lacy flower parts needed to be cut in cream, but I alternated the backing piece from black to red to form a sort of wreath with the flowers. I used both black and cream pearls for the centre of the flowers too. The background is another of the new Embossibility folders (just wait, they're really fun!) I used a tad of antique linen over it to distress it and bring out the pattern a bit more. I cut a border from the Damask Accents set and matted it on to red card to help show it off and I ruched the black American seam binding up the card along the edge of the border, adding a messy bow, a wooden button, Bakers twine and a couple of pearl decorative stick pins. I stamped my sentiment on one of the smaller dies in the new Labels 25 set and I used the actual metal die as a stencil to create my black faux nestie behind it. I just always feel like a nestie standing alone needs a mat to help it stand out. A tiny little bit of black swirly pearlie coming from behind the sentiment into the corner was added as an accent. Finally I finished the card with Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glue dots as a frame (remember, don't forget your edges, they are always so neglected!)Tuesday, 21 February 2012

Very cute card.
What a great card. I love the flowers and the ribbon.
Love your card Sue, but to be honest i am not getting the same buzz about these flowers as i am the damask or morrocan mots and accents, i am sure the more you demo them the more they will grow.
another lovely card ,love the colours
Just to have a bit of the flair you have when making a card would do me , lovely card Sue.x
Lovely card Sue. Love the colour combo and of course, the dies.

'morning Sue, I'm sure you will have a BUMPER Show again tonight. You must be the bosses(at Spellbinders) pet you always make cardmaking so interesting and effortless. A bit like a swan swimming... so elegant but all the work is going on there. Mabe

Morning Sue
Wow, can't wait to get my hands on these dies, just love the flowers! Looking forward to the show tonight, I wonder how many sell-outs there will be? love Jean x
Yippee tonights the night ;-) I will be glued to the TV (even for the 1am show) Spellbinders have some fabulous dies coming out this year and I need them all lol. Todays card is so nice the colours look so pretty together. I love the flowers and the way you have alternated the colours on the back of each flower. That labels 25 is such a nice shape. I hope C&C have enough lattice dies in stock and is ready for the rush of orders. See you tonight Sue x
What a lovely card Sue, just love those dies. Will be watching you later and good luck for your launch. You have at least one customer.

Hi Sue you really know how to tease rofl, liking the look of the embossing folder in background...a lot.... flower dies are pretty but for me I would need to layer them up, liking your colour combo and card.
Maggie :)
Oooops....good luck with show you won't need it though your Lattice Motifs will fly... :))
Hi Sue, its like waiting for christmas! another brilliant designed card. Whats in store for us i wonder! Linda x
Love this card, especially the flowers. Looks like it's going to be tough on the old plastic tonight. Good luck! (though you won't need it). Kathy
Just 11 hours to go! C&C have got item names up on their site but no pics yet...adding to the torture! Pick of the Day is showing at nearly £400 at normal price for a big package. Sure hope the dies I want are in the same smaller package but now have to add these flowers to my wish list along with the Damask, Moroccan, Persian and, of course, the Lattice. Will have to be a great POTD price or will be waiting a bit longer to get them all - how will I decide!!! Hope they don't sell out before the end of tomorrow so we can see more of your great demos Sue. Have fun.
Stunning card will be taping the shows . as wont be awake at midnight I think there will be lots of sell outs .Melanie
Gorgeous card Sue. The new flower dies look lovely. Looking forward to 9pm
hi Sue

Absolutely gorgeous work again Sue. I sure hope, I can stay awake, so I can see that show, but knowing I have 4 grandkids here on vacation this week, who´ll get up at 7AM, I´m not sure, I can make it this time. I had hoped, your show would come a bit earlier,as I really want to see these dies right away LOL. Good luck with the showshun.
Fab card, but I'm not too sure about the flowers (yet, sure they will grow on me)Love that border though....need it!.....Can't wait for 9pm.!
Hi Sue, Great Card. Looking forward till 9 o'clock. It will be fabulous. With Love & Light Theresa. H
Good morning Sue and all - so looking forward to seeing all the new releases and demos from you Sue. That lattice collection of yours has been kept a guarded secret, they are nowhere to be seen on the internet, unlike the other releases, so really something new to look forward to.
There are so many new releases and I'm wondering how many of them we are going to see. Thanks for sharing the card with us Sue - it is very pretty, nice colours too.
lots of love lilygeexxx
Hi Sue, another stunner, love the layered flowers. Looking forward to the show tonight. Good luck and I am sure it will go well. Hugs, Carol S.xx

Hi Sue, although I like the general look of this card I'm not sure about these flowers yet but they might grow on me (no pun intended). So glad Tuesday is here at last as I am really looking forward to the shows and seeing all your new dies. Just enjoy yourself tonight.

Get some sleep, and good luck.
HI Sue, I am not so keen on the flowers, I love the other elements in the card though and can see that you have put a lot of effort into the card, maybe they will look different in different colour combinations. Wow you are going to have a late night but I will be there glued to the telly. I do hope that you do not take my comments to heart, but you did say that you wanted honest opinions. All the best Suzie B
This is just so darling ! I love the die cuts.

How lovely what a beautiful card, lovely colours.
Jane xx
Beautiful cards, as usual. Although the flowers are pretty, they look kind of flat compared to your usual ones. Maybe I will see something else in them, and not make the comparison to your flower embellishments.
Enjoy your show tonight.
Elaine J
Another very pretty card Sue. Really looking forward to the shows tonight and tomorrow. Good luck, hope it all sells well! Lorraine x
Another lovely card Aue, can't wsit until 9pm - all the best
LOL JanNxx
Hi Sue,
This is a pretty card today and unusual for you with no layered flowers or fabric ones in sight. I love the flowers but I would prefer them layered, as Maggie said also.
Such a pretty colour combo and a striking contrast with the black seam binding and matting.
You probably won't be reading this till after your launch (very busy prepping I would have thought), so I hope everything went really well. I am going to be glued tonight as I have to miss the daytime shows ( :¬( so sad!!)
Take care and enjoy every minute throughout the shows. I hope you get loads of emails to compliment you because from what I can see, your first ever die designs are, as Mary Poppins would say, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!! lol...
Big hugs Linda
Lovely card x
Great card can't wait till tonight will even try to stay up till one if my eyes will stay open.

Gorgeous! Good Luck tonight. Will be watching. Love, Julia xxxx

Hi Sue
Watching you on Ideal World at the mo, love you die design, wow the border is fantastic, the whole set is gorgeous. Lovely card by the way, I wasn't sure I like those flowers until I saw how you used them :D
Sue H. xx
Gorgeous flowers gorgeous card. Good Luck hugs x ChrisB
nice card sue, just watched the launch and well what a launch!!! your lattice spellbinders are truly lovely...i shall be buying these bit by bit to add to my increasing collection :) xx
I realy like these and I loved the way you used them as accents on your ribbons in the C+C show tonight.
Sue your lattice dies are just FABULOUS !
I got them and cannot wait for them to arrive. I would have loved the complete "Pick of the Day" but couldn't stretch to that price but had to have your dies.
WELL DONE.
Hugs x Elaine
Hi sue another great card and I love your new dies I have ordered them and can't wait to get them home to have a play with them
Theresa
Beautiful card Sue and what a fantastic show. Well done - been glued to it all evening and the 2 hours have flown. Spent far too much (and much more than I'd intended too) but you can't take it with you can you! Suppose I'll be working a bit longer then and definately can't afford to kit the craft room out yet.

Something a bit different... but just as lovely as ever! Loving all the new dies - ooh how a lottery win would come in handy - lol!
Soop x
Hi Sue, Great card - and although they're not you usual style I do quite like the flowers. Have loved the shows today (no, that should read yesterday now!) and am looking forward to today's. Hope you'll manage to get a few hours sleep in between. Sue x
Love this card can't wait to have a go at making it think I might mix up the colour a bit and go with teal theme loving that colour right now, makes a change to my usual purple,lol
Love the shows ,off to bed now a lot poorer managed to juggle about some money and treat myself to the big pick of the day can't wait for it to come. Only downside I just got done with laminating my spellbinder packs and adding magnetic pieces to the insides took ages to do but so neat and tidy now I have a lot more to do.lol
Can't wait for tomorrows show. Hope you get through the hours ok a bit rest on Thursday I think you will deserve it.
Hi Sue,
I love all the cards you make.
They are all truly wonderful xx
Hi Sue,
I just love these new dies and the colours you have chosen work so well together
love from Jackie D
Saw this card on the show and so had to come across and leave a comment. Well done Sue, this card is brilliant and one of the reasons I bought the set.
Great Card once again, I think these layered flowers will be another 'must have' item. I think they will be useful for scrapbooking also as they are not too dimentional.
Enjoy shows, looking forward to the rest.
Loved your show last night & the buzz that came thru'. Will need inspiration as to how to use smaller buckles Long may your creativity continue!
Wow! Another beautiful card. I wish I had your imagination and flair.

Hi Sue,
I am really into Nestabilies. I bought the Grand Caliber which is great.
I was watching one of your C&C shows and you were using waxed paper which makes it so easy to extricate card from the more intricate dies. I thought I would give it a go, and it works a treat. Very good tip, and cheaper than the release foam.
Very many thanks for your demos on C&C, I record them all.
