Hi everyone! Back to Vintage Lace designed cards for a bit, just be prepared for the Christmas cards to keep popping back on the blog every few days as I have a bunch of them to post! I don't often put maroon or burgundy with cream and black, but I rather like it so it may just have to make some further appearances in my card making future. I started with a selection of background papers from Canvas Corp, a cream script and a damask print. This paper is really lovely to work with, it's a nice weight and it has a kraft card feel to it. I think it is recycled paper, which is great! I divided the papers into sections for the background, two large and one small at the top. I matted all with a piece of burgundy card matching my ribbon and pierced the edges before adding a final mat of black. I cut two of the largest Vintage lace motifs in black card and one in burgundy card. I stamped one of the Design Element stamps using maroon archival ink and cut it out with Labels 18. While in the die, I used a very light inking of Black Soot ink around the edges of the die for a shadow. I also stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the small phrase shape from the set. This was inked in the same manner. I attached my motifs in a diagonal across the card and placed the Label shape in the centre of them. I added my phrase to the upper corner. Using some 1/2 inch wide satin/grosgrain ribbon, I tied a messy bow. I like this ribbon and haven't used it much but it is very nice, lovely texture. I added it in the bottom corner atop a strip of it that I had run from top to bottom of the card. I found this fancy button while in the States that I used to cover my knot and added a few black pearl stick pins. I added three half pearls in black to the upper and lower edges of my motifs to finish off the card. More tomorrow. All for now, Sue x

This is amazing. I am so disappointed I ordered both of your dies before your show they sent double of one and now they are out. So I must wait bummer can't wait until they come in so I too can design amazing cards.
Hi Sue, beautifule card, when my mum saw this one shown on C&C she commented that that was one she liked. I love the maroon/burgundy card so posh. Don't worry about it being June (well it is supposed to be) Christmas card need to start early.

Your cards are gorgeous! I love them all! <3
Morning Sue
Love this colour combination and love these dies. Amazing card! Love Jean x
Morning Sue, another stunning card I love the colour combinations.
Hi Sue, I'm sorry but this card is too much for me, I think it may look very different in real life. I'm enjoying the Christmas cards at the moment, it pushes me to make
My own. Best wishes, Lesley x
Stunning card love the colours
Good morning Sue
It's great to see a return of your vintage lace dies...even though it has only been a few days since we last saw them.
The maroon/burgundy go very well with the black and cream. They have victorian feel....and your bows are never 'messy' they're beautiful!
The design element stamp is pretty, love how you've set the lace die cuts at an angle.
As usual a beautiful card!
have a great day!
Lara xxx
This is a very pretty card.....but what else would I exepct :-)
I like these colours together they make a classy card
Hi Sue,
now these colours are defiantly different for you. Just love the combo of it all. It came out a little dark on the picture, but I bet it's lovely in real life so to speak. Those vintage dies are simply wonderful. Have a great crafty sunny day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Morning All,
This card is stunning - as usual. The colour combo is outstanding, it makes a very opulant and vintage look and works well with your designs.

Hello Sue,
This is a lovely card and the dies are georgeous love the backing paper

This is a lovely card Sue, the colours are really vintage and elegant. I have some burgundy card so must give it a try.
love it and wow how effective does that fringe look.....very
A feast for the eye and a delight for the soul! Beautiful. Thanks Sue!
Morning Sue
What can I say WOW!!! I love it the colour just everything. I couldn't afford these dies but they have gone to the top of the wish list.
Good Morning Sue,
A lovely card, the ribbon looks really rich, glad we are back to the Vintage Lace dies, as I got my delivery yesterday, so now hopefully, I can have a play.
Have a good day everyone.
Happy2craft
Hi Sue, love this card, burgandy is a colour I love, I tend to use it with cream, and these dies are just brilliant. They are definately on my wish list.
lv norma
Hi Sue.
Lovely card. Can be used in a combination of other colours as well.
Evis.
Lovely card again Sue. I love burgundy coloured card and use it quite a lot and it goes so well with cream.
Carolyn B
Love the colour combo, button, ribbon, stamp, dies......in fact all of it!
morning Sue from a beautiful morning in Burgundy! I can't help but love this colour can I? It goes so well with many pale colours. This card shows just how well it blends.
Janet x
Look at these designs...Fab!! Our Sue certainly needs her own regular show on C&C as I've said here before. Do you send comments when Sue IS on? Why not request that the powers that be give Sue her own programme when you do? I did each time on this set of shows. It wasn't my fault the email service on there stopped....honest!! Next time; if we do it together we may make a difference. Hope Sue agrees to do it though,lol Mabex
Morning Sue,
Great card, burgundy is such an underused colour but I love it.
Can't afford your dies yet but hopefully I won't have to wait too long.
Have a good day.

Sandra (craftynan)
A stunning combination of colours Sue, love this card.
A card I would like to see on your blog is the long narrow Christmas one you made using the negative of the border die, an excellent way to use pieces that we would normally throw away.
Have a good weekend
xx Sandra
Very elegant Sue, love the colours. Anne x
I love the colour combination Sue, and the design element instead of a sentiment looks really pretty.
I like the colour combination but personally don't like so much on one card.
Hi Sue,
Another masterpiece. I saw you demonstrate how you tie your big bows on one of th recent shows, but can't quite remember. Is there any chance of you posting step by step photos in the future? I know you're always extremely busy and its a very cheeky request.
Love and light.
Suz x
Another gorgeous creation. The colours go lovely together
lovely set of dies Sue.
Great colour combo. Stunning card. Love, Julia xxxx
Wonderful card Sue. I´m so glad you are back in the C&C show again. I can look at it on my computer in Sweden.
Love from Eva
Hi Sue, love the card. The colour combo is amazing. How do you manage to get so many elements into your cards without them looking cluttered? With Love & Light Theresa.H

Hi Sue
Gorgeous card love the colour combo stunning design lovin those vintage lace dies.
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Hi Sue. I think this is a very classy card. It is very pretty!! I do love your new vintage lace dies. I would never have thought of putting black, cream and maroon together but it works great!! I often prefer a darker red rather than a brighter one. I think this is a lovely colour combination for a mans card. Love the layout of the card. Great bow too!! Love Tres x x x
Great colour combo - always loved cream and maroon, but thought it would be too dark with black in it. Well, it isn't, it's good.
Good Morning Sue,
Love the dark colours they remind me of Victorian houses,I like the flower stamp too.
regards Jayne
slightly different style today-think i quite like it but have to say jury is still out on this one,take care ,x
As usual fabulous card Sue

Absolutely gorgeous Sue.

beautiful xx
Such a beautiful card as always!! Great show on c&c this week! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Sue,
What a great finish to a great week. Great to have you back Sue.
Sonia x
When i saw this on C&C Sue, i fell in love cause these are my kinda colours and this card just screamed classy & elegant!! I love most of the colours you use, but this and the Teal coloured cards just seem to pop out more than the rest, yes, defo a favourite and as soon as i get my hands on your dies i will be making some lovely cards too,you really can't go too far wrong with Spellbinders can you? I havent bought any of the Christmas dies as i have a couple of sets from last year and send out less than 20 cards every year so its not cost effective for me, but as soon as i can i will be buying your two sets and then wait for you to come back to C&C with everyday bundles, instead of christmas. I am always in awe of your work and the thing you do different to most of us and why i love your work so much is, what i have said before, you look at, and use, the dies in ways i would have never seen or done, and thats what makes your cards extra special honey, thankyou so much for your daily inspiration it really helps us mere mortal crafters, lol xxx huggles, Vick
Hi Sue, Beautiful card again, I love the maroon/burgundy with the cream and black, quite ethereal and lots of atmosphere. Simply gorgeous. It's raining 'stair-rods' again today here, horrid, more time for die-cutting he he. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue
Another very beautiful card from you, I like the layout the use of your new dies at an angle, it works so well with the colour combo.

Thanks sue for posting this card. i love the colour combination. so pleased to see so many others like this card too. if ever you dont want to keep it.... i am going to try it myself now.
Hi Sue,
Love the colours - they remind me of something I've seen but I can't think what! The layout's really nice too, well everything is, don't think I've seen the ribbon before and it's well suited to this particular card. I've got your dies so have printed out the instructions and will try it sometime soon.
Not tonight though - I stayed up to watch David Bowie on tv last night and couldn't resist dancing and singing along too. Was pleased I still knew all the words and for the first couple of hours it felt like I was 26 again, but eventually I had to sit down and admit I'm actually 66. It was great though and I watched until 3.30am!
Hope you're having a good weekend,
Sue xx
This is beautiful Sue .The maroon and black and white is fab looking.Laura O

Hi Sue
Another beautiful card. I really like the maroon and black together - very classy. If you think your bows are messy - you should see mine! They never seem to come out right! Loved the dies on C&C - already have some from last year I think. The poinsettia and filigree tree were gorgeous but unfortunately couldn't afford both of the sets. Is there any chance that these might come as single packs in a future show?
All for now - thanks again.
GORGEOUS CARD,LOVE THE VINTAGE LACE DIES.SUZYD X
I think it's a great combination of colours Sue and I love that messy bow.....I must give those a try!
Happy Crafting!

Hello Sue & oh "WOW!" This is gorgeous Sue! So so elegant for some reason(I don't know why....) it reminds me of Victorianna style, which I love. I could see one of those fancy dresses that they wore in those times in these colours. I love these colours together & it would be lovely to see a few a more cards in these colours, yes please! Every card you do is a different style & colour but beautiful in their own right! Like the papers from Canvas Corp......& the button! xx Love Karen xx
