Hi guys, a Labels 24 modified buckle card for today. I think this label shape really surprised a lot of people. At first glance it is rather plain. I have to admit that I thought that too. However, once you start playing with this die shape, you will find that it is a very useful shape. Here, I have cut two frames and used them woven together. I stamped my sentiment on milk coloured card and embossed it before sliding it through my label shapes. I used a faux letterpress technique and inked my embossing folder with clear perfect medium. I inserted my card into the folder and transferred the ink to the card when I ran it through the Grand Calibur. I used clear embossing powder to accent the embossing. I mounted my focal element on to a background of three decorative papers cut into strips with a fork on one end. I have used these papers on numerous occasions and I always get emails about them. I purchased these while in the States and they are from Hobby Lobby (I think it is their store label called Paper Studio). It is nice though that the pattern is quite small which is nice for card makers. I added a messy bow of black vintage ribbon and topped it with a fancy bow and a couple of stick pins. I finished off the card with Cosmic Shimmer black PVA glue dots as an accent. All for now, Sue x

This is a very elegant card and very suitable for ladies who do not like the "frillies" but would also be good for male cards. Love the bow, Sue
Morning Sue I will have to keep this short as I've got a stomach bug this is a lovely card that could be for both men or ladies card like the colours you have used.

I think this would work well for men too - without the bow though!
Hi Sue,
well back to one of your fav colour combos. Well it certainly works for me. It's a lovely design and those papers are fabbbb. The labels 24 is very handy when you layer them up they can look like a grand label.
Hope you are feeling better soon Debs. Have a great crafty day every one.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Lovely card with some great ideas in - thanks Sue! Particularly like the strips that look like hanging banners.

Morning Sue, I love looking at your blog site before I go to work. Once at work I take my Ipad to my friend and show her the card of the day. We both think your cards are stunning. Sally
Lovely card Sue...I agree, also have Labels 24 and use it time and time again and love to interweave it, Carole Z X
Hi Sue,
Spellbinders are so versatile aren't they. The black and gold combine combination gives the card a very sophisticated boutique look.
Love and light.
Suz x
Love the idea of interlocking the dies-must try to remember that one! Thanks Sue!
This is a really lovely card Sue, I don't have many of the label dies, but am really going to start trying with those I do have. Thanks for another superb example. Bx
Hi Sue
This is a great card. I do not have this die set but that may have to change as I love what you do with them.
Ria
LOVE the paper - shall try to get something like that over here in the UK. And I shall try to use some of my dies to make frames (rather than labels) and interlock - you've sold that idea to me with your repeated beautiful cards.
This card is so stunning Sue.Ilove it.
Felicie

Hi Sue you are such a talented lady and always come up trumps with your ideas. I wish there was a Hobby Lobby over here (but there again maybe not because I spend enough as it is) lol. When I first had my Spellbinder Label dies I used them as labels but since following you I experiment so much more and have had so much fun so thank you for the ideas
Hugs x

Love the colours and the embossing folders you used.

amasing what you can do with a plain die, yet another well made beautiful card

Morning Sue
I am loving todays card. I agree those labels 24 look plain but when they are used they always look so stunning, thats another one on my list. Love how you have used the papers at the back too.
Sue xx
Morning Sue
Another lovely card. I really must try interlocking some of my labels dies too - it looks very effective.
i really like this card, i love all those colours together, i just think they blend so well xx gail
A lovely, very useful card for all sorts of people and occasions.
Thank you, Sue

Morning Sue, I too love these dies, I have used the interlocking method several times and it is very effective, you really do not need too much more on a card to make it look great
Love Rosemarie xx
Hi Sue I wish I could come up with as many clever cards as you do, this is another one that could be used for a lot of different occasions, and I love your technique of interlocking the dies, thanks to you I have started using mine in that way now, but would never have thought of it until you showed us.

Hi Sue, Love the card. Classic but with a twist. I think interweaving always adds a little something to a card vs. using the shape you wanted straight off. Debs, I hope you are feeling better soon. With Love & Light Theresa. H
Such a great card here again Sue. I love the way you´ve used the dies, it looks so great. And the colors are really nice too and really great for both sexes.
Stunning sue xxx with a bit of red and the right quote this would adapt to a stylish Christmas card
nice card sue
Plain! That word and you just do not go together.....the card is beautiful, a little different, but lovely all the same. Great bow too.
OMG Sue these are my favourite Colours Black and Gold fit for a Golden Jubilee....Once again your card is stunning, love the Bow.
The patterned paper is lovely too!
Thank you for cheering up my Thursday
Hugs
Shahab x
Fabulous as always.
I don't have that labels die, but I think at least two I have would make something similar - you are so inventive with these dies. This one is ideal for both guys and gals.
Morning Sue, I am a big fan of the woven label/buckle design so this one just sings to me and works well for both male and female. Everything about this card is fantastic. Have labels 24 so off and running. Hope you and your Mum enjoy the day, hugs Christine H x
i have these labels 24 on my list which just keeps getting longer very stylish card
A very clever way of using the dies, it looks great. xxx
Hi Sue. Another lovely card for today. I think it is a great idea to make frames from spellbinders label dies and weave them together. I will definately give this a go. Love the layout of the card. The papers are gorgeous and so are the colours. As always a beautiful card. Love the bow too!! With love Tres x x x
I love the letterpress background Sue have just started to get the M bossabilities so I shall have a go with the embossing ink! oh to be able to go to hobby lobby again...take care Margaret MP
Hi Sue
What a fab card. Like the papers on the flags at the back . Good way to use those bits up. Nice colours you have put together. Just learnt u can do the flag ends with a square punch. That's handy. As i never but them straight. Yes another 10 out of 10 card. Smashing.
I have to send u an email when i have caught up with all the scanning i have to do, I made some thing out of the damask dies.hehe wait and see.
all the best
born again spellbinder

Lovely card, very suitable for a man. Simple and elegant
Margaret L.
This is so glamorous! The colours are brilliant together and I love those papers - wish we could get them on C&C!!! I must have a go at using the faux letterpress technique. My list of techs to try is getting longer and longer. You are really making me think of new things to try!!!!
Hugs Sue Pass xx
Good morning Sue, this is a card with real class and elegance without being too frilly, super.
Margaret
Black and gold tones are so elegant, love the paper, I love the giant buckle effect, I never would have thought of doing that, I know what you mean about the labels, I thought hmmm I dont think much to them, they're a bit boring! How wrong was I, tfs Helen O xxx
Beautiful! :) xxx
The papers are amazing they look like damask fabric. Altogether a great card.
Hi Sue
My fav colours Black n Gold and the background papers are lush as is the card

Another good idea for a different use of dies.

Hi Sue, I like this card and without the bow it would make a good mans card, (always difficult to make I find) another versatile creation. thanks.
Hi Sue
Beautiful card I love labels 24 and what a cute way of using it

Great idea and a very generic card - love the idea of intertwining the shapes to make a completely different look!
Fab background too!

Lovely card Sue, as always. Thanks.xxx
I love the alternate uses of the Spellbinder dies that extend the die's function.
Very nice card. As others have commented, this is a very versatile card and suitable for both genders. Love the papers you used.
Hi Sue,
How sophisicated is this card?In my opinion it could be used for many different occassions.
Carol x
This card is very elegant and could be used for all occasions and both for male or female.Very versatile and gorgeous as always.
A beautiful card that can be used for many occasions. The way you use the Label Dies has got me thinking about using Dies that i wouldn't ordinarily go for due to the difference in the shapes. Thanks again for sharing and for the inspiration, x.
Audrey
Hi Sue, I love the banner feature, a great unisex card. Best wishes Edwina
Good afternoon Sue
Love the look of this card. I like the colours and your paper (forked) shapes look almost like heraldic banners. The pattern size on your papers are indeed most suitable fofr card making.
Hope both you and your Mom are enjoying good health.

Would love to visit the USA and go round all the craft stores. Keep hoping I will get there for my birthday next year!

Stunning card in black & gold Sue. Love how you entwine the die frames, it makes it so effective. The papers are sooo beautiful making the card look very classy along with all the embellishments added. Thank you for mentioning where you get the papers from. Hope they deliver over here! x Love Karen xx
Gorgeous xx
Hi Sue,
another stunning card. I really love the colours you have used here, so dramatic and the faux letterpress technique has worked a treat adding a wonderful texture and depth.
If I may be allowed dear friend, the only teenie, tiny, nickpicking thing I would change is the position of the sentiment. For me it would be nicer inside the frames with the tail of the faux ribbon being left plain.
I don't know, I don't come by for days and then I start by offering up a criticism.... oh shoot me now, I don't deserve a comment ....LOL!!
Big hugs Linda x
Yet another gorgeous card. Were do you get your inspiration and ideas from?
