Hello my crafty blog friends! I hope that you aren't getting tired of looking at my lattice dies as I have a bunch of cards to show using them! I will try to spread them out a bit for you. This card happens to be the first card that I made when I received the dies. Mainly because I was dying to see what they looked like when cut using Coordinations card. I happened to grab a piece of black/turquoise backed card to try them with. Well you know what we are like as crafters, we don't waste anything(I don't want to be thrown out of the crafters union, now do I! LOL) so it became the basis for the first card. I sanded back the card to reveal the turquoise coming through giving it an edgier look. I made a faux nestie by tracing the outside shape of the lattice motif. I cut it out, sanded the edge lightly to smooth it and then added some white stitch marks around the edge. I stamped my sentiment then cut it out with the smaller lattice piece and inked it with black soot distress ink. I made a faux nestie for this shape and did matching stitching on it also. I mounted my focal element on a piece of decorative paper that I had (not sure the name though) and then mounted it another backing paper with a harlequin pattern to it. I added some black rhinestone swirls to the bottom and side and finished the card with a double bow made from the black silky crush ribbon. I added a black organza rose as a knot cover and a couple of decorative black stick pins. I used a white inksentials pen to faux stitch the edge to complete my very first lattice die card. Just to let you know, I will be back around mid day today with another post of
blog candy winners and comment game winners. Be sure to check back then. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
I love everything about this card and you should be very proud of your dies. I am already looking forward to your next set.
I am now trying to do things around the edges of my cards as you are so right about it needing something to finish it off.

Thank You for all the great ideas.

A great card Sue, and no, we are not fed up with seeing cards made with your new dies. I agree with Jan, that, with a bit of a tweak this could easily become a mans card. Thank you Sue, you never fail to inspire.

Morning,
I do think your lattice dies are the best of the new bunch and this card is another stunner. Can I ask how long it took from your original idea to the final product and if you are already designing your next set? x
Love this card , I used your lattice die yesterday ,for a project I`m doing for my daughter ,As christening Invitations and the romantic rectangles ,I have done 3 cards for her to choose from ,Thanks for the Inspiration .Melanie
Nice card once again Sue

Hi Sue. Another great card. I really like the look of coredinations card when it is embossed and sanded like this. Keep them coming. Karen x
Lovely card Sue, love the harlequin background on it. xx hazel
Hi Sue and all - A lovely card and I'm sure the sanding looks very effective in real time - I've wanted to get some of that card for a while now and wondered how it would cut with the dies - thanks for sharing with us Sue.
love lilygee

Really nice card Sue, I love the shape in the centre that you have stamped on to, ie the bit that is not cut out, can't wait to get hold of my dies.
Gorgeous card. Your dies are lovely, love the colour tones you've used.
Clare x
Another beautiful card Sue. I think your lattice dies are gorgeous and can't wait for mine to arrive Was hoping they'd be here today but postie just been and no dies. You're an inspiration to all of us.
lovely card sue, love the dies and the colours angxx
Hi Sue, Beautiful card, i am never dissapointed with your card designs keep them coming. Yvonne xx
I like this one, those dies are very versatile Sue. I can't wait to track them down and get a set ready to have a good play. Forget housework, you only have to do it again the next day, much more fun to play with my dies. :)
The colours are great Sue, love it, love it, love it. Can't wait for my lattice dies to arrive so I can try this one. Have a good day. Christine H x
Good morning Sue. I don't think any of us will get tired at looking at your cards. They are all so beautiful. I can't wait for my dies to come so I can start playing. I do demo's for my local shop and, I hope you don't mind, but I take a lot of inspiration from you. I;m looking forward to more of your own designs. Teresa. X
You've done it again,beautiful card and your dies are to die for ( no pun intended ) Thanks
Hi Sue,
I like the colours and ideas on this card though I'm not a great fan of sanding techniques. This style minus the bow and the rhinestones would make a very acceptable male card I think.
love from Jackie D
Hi Sue, love the card, will not get tired of your lattice design as you make the cards look completely different each time. I love the black bow and rose. All the best SuzieB
Very intricate and beautiful.
Hello Sue

Super card, keep the lattice cards coming I say.lol I saw one on tv I really really like so fingers crossed it gets on here so I can have a closer look.

Enjoying your cards immensely.

superb card Sue, love the sanding technique, hope you will be designing some new dies as the lattice looks lovely
Gwenda
Hi Sue, Amazing card. The co-ordinations card definitely shows off your lattice dies to their full potential. The faux stitching is inspired. I would have never mixed a haberdashery look with a gardening look, but it so works. With Love & Light Theresa. H
This is just up my street with the colours and when my pod comes i can do similar and just be teased by what you put on your blog
Thank you
Lizzie(Serial copycat) xx
Keep um coming Sue,I love the lattice, was the one that I brought :)

Love the card Sue, the lattice dies are great so keep the cards coming
Its a gorgeous card Sue, love the colours and your dies, I was having a play with them yesterday.
How amazing did you feel when the dies arrived and you got to make a card with them? You must have had such a great sense of acheivement, I imagine its awesome to have made your own Set of dies, that will sell all over the world!!!
Again Congratulations and very well done Helen O xxx
This is a lovely card Sue, partly because you have used your own lovely lattice dies but also because after pink, jade green/turquoise is one of my fave colours. And you have not forgotten a fabulous bow, I love working with ribbon and today I am going to try your ribbon rose as demonstrated on C&C.

No I won't get tired of looking at the lattice dies, in all their guises - pretty in this card, with the bow and the rhinestones, but take those away and it's a perfect man's card. What a versatile set of dies! I've got my eye on the corners for my photos too. Love the colours in this card Sue, but then I always love your colour combinations. I've just seen there's a Spellbinders show at 1pm tomorrow - no that's today now! Whoopee! Hope it's you! Sue x
Love those dies!! Fab color combo, too. Get tired of them? Not likely!
Keep 'em coming
