Hi guys! From the biggest bow ever yesterday to the tiniest bow today! See I can change! It doesn't always have to have a ginormous bow ( I just like them to!) LOL I had to come back to the lattice motifs and border accents today. I started with a piece of October Afternoon background paper in a black and pale yellow pattern. I cut four borders and edged the paper with them, cutting them all down slightly to fit. I glued them down so the outside straight edge formed a frame for my card. I added to offset corners for interest. I cut one of the Lattice Motifs in yellow and mounted it with a bit of 3D foam pieces. I stamped my sentiment on to a lighter yellow and cut it out. I mounted it in the centre of my motif and drew some faux stitching lines with a fine tipped black pen to it and to the edge of the lattice motif. I added three small black pearls below my sentiment. I made a tiny bow from black vintage ribbon and added it to the top of my motif.

I pierced all the way around the edge of the card and finished it with some offset mats. Very simple and easy to recreate. A change of sentiment and it could be for any occasion. All for now, Sue x

Fabulous card Sue. I think I need to get these dies. You certainly get us to think out of the box as I never would have thought of doing borders like this. Happy Crafting. Hugs Rita xxx
Hi Sue.
Lovely card as always used your lattice borders to make my daughters birthday card for yesterday she loved it.
Hope your still enjoying your break.
nancyd x
Hi Sue
love how you have framed your card with your die's. I guess ALL crafter's out there will now be looking at their spellbinder's in a whole new light, I am certainly going to have a good luck through my (ever growing) collection, to see if I can come up with more uses/idea's to create with them.
hugs
Sandra (craftynan)
This is great Sue, thank you
morning sue, great card as always
What a clever idea on how to use the borders, you are just to good Sue...must try this out. Love the colours as well.xx
Hi Sue,
Another really nice card and like others, using the dies as a border is such a clever idea and looks so good. Really thick fog has now given way to sunshine fortunately as I'm away to my mum for a week for Mother's day and her birthday but will also manage to go to London Olympia for the Stitch and Craft show - more spending!!Hope you are enjoying your time with your mum
love from Jackie D
Hello Sue
That is a warm card the colours compliment the dies...lovely
love Marg
A clever use of die cuts, I need to look at mine more! Said so many times, and thought even more - you're an inspiration Sue! Thank you.
Christine x
Wow your die cut collection must be huge and you make fantastic cards every time. Not got any borders, but they are on my wish list! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea on how to use borders. I really like the corners in another colour. Lovely card and an elegant bow!
Lovely sue , as I visit more blogs I am seeing more and more of "your" dies being used in , each card looks stunning Sue, you are so clever.I like this one even with your tiny bow.
Hugs Elaine
Mornin sue, another fabulous creation, I like how the two corners draw the eye across the card x
Hi Sue, Fabulous Card. It really showcases your beautiful dies. I love the colours and layout & bet that it would still look great without a bow (for the men in my life) or with a really big bow (for my Mum). With Love & Light Theresa. H
Hi Sue
another one that sings. It is great for any occasion and suit either gender.Love stitching round the middle of this one or thread thin ribbon as u designed the holes seems a shame to waste them. Sometimes the simplest are the best.Less is more. Just done a buckle card with this die. Having great fun with these dies. Cant wait for the next designs. What are you up to?!?!?!?!
Born again #spellbinder

Stunning card Sue.I love your dies.
Morning! Really like the effects you get with your lattice dies...haven't managed to save up for them yet but your inspirational cards are definately making my credit card twitch!! Also never seem to get the piercing as neat as you do especially at the corners...even using the design ruler...any tips??
Vicki x
Hello Sue, Stunning card as usual. Thank you for the idea of using the borders to make a frame. Your lattice dies are so versatile, love them. The corner elements draw your eye into the card, the colours are fabulous. Hugs to you and your Mum.

God Bless JanNxx
Hi Sue...wow this is lovely I have been playing with your dies and having so much fun making a mothers day card!....going to try the felt flowers next...fingers crossed....take care margaret
I like the colours and the centre of the card, but I am not keen on the added borders, as I think it makes it look unbalanced. sorry!
elaine J
So pretty! Love how you made that border. It case the center die perfectly!
Gorgeous...though a big bow would have looked fab too, lol.
xx
Hi Sue,
Guess what arrived this morning whilst I was at work and guess what I'm doing tonight - yay your motifs and borders arrived. With a Mothers day card to make for Sunday this couldn't be better.Thank you for the inspiration.
Beverley W
This has given me an idea for a Mother's Day card - Just love the way your cards kick my brain into gear.
Love that framing with those accent pieces - a wonderful card Sue - really want to make one similar.
love lilygee

hi sue, another lovely card, love the colours, and your right the bow doesn't have to be huge.
love jan x
Just love this card Sue, my fav colours.....I thought it was a lattice sheet at the back at first, but then realised it was the borders connecting..looks really effective.Will be having a good go at that one!!
Hugs....Manx Linda

Afternoon Sue, so love the dies you designed they look fabulous. Hope you are going to designing some more in the not too distant future. xx hazel
Lovely card Sue, Linda xxxxx
Love the card.The lattice dies are my all time favourites when are you going to design some more sue.
The lattice work on your dies is just gorgeous.
Lovely card for any occasion.
Lovely card, changed the bow to yellow and it would make a great easter card

Another elegant card, I think your dies are so flexable, but always produce something beautiful
Hi Sue,
Using the boarders as frames is a wonderful idea willbe going and looking at my boarders to see which others can do the same.
TFS
Hugs
Amanda x
Tiny bows are very cute..
Love this card and how you have used the border. :)
Gorgeous Sue.Love your colour combination.
What a stunning card Sue. I just love your lattice designs, the are so different to the other dies out there. I always try to work out how you make a card before reading how you actually did it, you got me fooled on this one with turning the corners into frames - clever.
Vicki
Scrumptious as per usual Sue XX
Hi Sue. Love this card. The borders make it really stand out and I love the colours. Thanks for sharing. Teresa xxx
Hi Sue, What a very useful card! Definitely one I can envisage making several times over for different people and occasions. Lovely just as it is, it would also be very suitable for men's cards (maybe changing the little bow for a simpler knot or perhaps a button & twine). For something like Mother's Day I would change at least one of the corner accents for flowers - and the bow might grow!! But I wouldn't change anything else because it's such a super design and it's one I just know I'm going to love trying. Many many thanks for your wonderful inspiration, Sue x
Love those dies, you can do so much with them. Like the small bow but love the big ones!!!
nice card sue, love the colours,tho personally would have liked a slightly larger bow. here's hoping all is well with you.hugs, theresa
I've bought you Lattice Motifs and Accents and can't wait to try them out. Great inspiration as always.
Absolutley lovely Sue loved the colours you used also I love your lattice design not using anything else at mo x
I love the way you have used the borders to make a frame around the spellbinder, and just a little teeny bow so that your lattice work is shining through the whole piece. Really nice.
Beautiful Sue, your dies are so versatile and stunning, a small bow is just right to compliment the card, I smiled its like yesterdays bow had a baby, I always find yellow a hard colour to work with, but it looks stunning with black. Thank you for the inspiration Helen O xxx
Ooo love it, so pretty
Yellow is not one of my favorite colors, so I don't use it that often. You've managed to make it look fantastic! I like your "baby" bow as well, if it was the same ribbon I'd think that yesterday's bow had become a Mama!

Stunning, beautiful colour comination, what a lovely frame the lattice boarder makes.
Best wishes Edwina
What a fabulous card, I love it.
xxx Hazel.
Love the card even the iddy biddy bow. Lol Lynne M
I always look forward to seeing what you design you have come up with for the day! I just wish I was as good as you!
Brilliant card yet again sue,the colours are beautiful and different.little bow is lovely.xxxx
Hi Sue,
Sorry I missed this post, I am totally messed up this week, the days are flying past and I am not able to keep up with them.
Anyway, I had to come back and write about your card as I love it so much.
The borders frame the central motif perfectly and the effect is quite stunning. I think twisted vines and mini flowers draping down from the top corners would be another fab use of this layout. This is where the Spellbinder Bitty Blossoms would look really good. Also I think this layout could be used for an Easter card with the central motif being the egg. A really versatile layout I must say and one I will definitely have to adapt.
This card shows off your dies perfectly.
Regards and best wishes Linda x
love this card and i love your dies too.
I really love the lattice look of this card! It is really a very pretty card again, Sue....big smiles. Mimi
