Hi blog friends! Today is the day for my POTD shows (starting at 9pm on Ideal World) so this is the last sneak peek before you see all the cards that I have been making. As I prepare for these shows, I put all the products and dies in front of me and try my best to use everything at least once so I can show it featured on a sample. This card started with the American Seam binding in particular. This is one of the colours from the sampler pack and I just love it. It is called Green Gem and it is a very green teal (as opposed to the blue teal I usually use). I found some matching card in my stash then headed straight for the neutral card pack to go with it. I stamped the feather from the Design element stamp set using a black archival ink pad, up and down the left side of the taupe card. This just gave the card a bit of interest since I didn't have any decorative paper that matched. I added a strip of the teardrop lace in black along the side also and covered the edge with my green gem seam binding ribbon. I tied a messy bow, added a fancy black button and stick pins and added it with a glue dot to the bottom. Next I cut the grand decorative Oval die as a backdrop. I layered it with the Asian Motif cut out of the matching green teal card and a black Venetian Motif. I stamped my sentiment on taupe card and added a couple of the same feather but this time, I stamped them in clear perfect medium and embossed them. I used Labels 26 to cut a frame for my sentiment and set it on the diagonal using foam mounting pieces. I added some of the new flatback pearls to the corners of my frame. I added a few more black pearls of varying sizes to the corners and pierced the edges to finish my card. Are you liking the Green Gem as much as I do? Hope you can tune in tonight at 9pm or 11pm or sometime on Wednesday for the rest of the shows! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Yes hope i can stay awake for these late shows. Sure i can if i craft along with you.
Yes what a great colour. Smashing stamp too. Really loving the dies. Just looked at what for sale on Ideal World and your not giving anything away. lol. No dies there. Think these will sell out fast as they are so pretty.

morning Sue - I'm afraid today's card is a little dark for me but I love the look of the dies you have used.
I had a pre-look for your POTD last night and found that -micro beads, venetian dies and kraft paper were not available due to high demand - so it looks as though I am out of luck again!!!

Another stunning card Sue. Looking forward to your shows tonight x
Hi Sue. I love this card!! The colour combination is fab. Green is my favorite colour and I just love Teal!! I agree with Lesley, Please Please Please could you put together a coloured card pack as I love all the colours you use. (I have the neutral pack.)

Emma
Hi Sue, a beautiful ornate card. Love the colours! Will definately be watching tonight at 9pm - can't wait - it seems ages since we've seen you! Love Sam xxx
Great colour scheme on this card Sue but I'm afraid I have to say it again - I would have been happier without the bow :) It's just a little too fussy for my liking but then, it wouldn't do for us all to like the same things all of the time.
Hi Sue
Another stunning card, thanks for all your ideas.
Margaret L
Wow Sue! A very classic you card. I love it. Looking forward to the POTD shows & seeing all the new goodies you are bringing us. With love & light Theresa. H

Well i bought the POD and i got the Botanical die before it sold out, but i was a little fed up that we only got to see 7 of your sample cards in 2 shows, it wasnt Martyn's or your fault it took too long to go through everything on the show and going through everything several times, anyway, im looking forward to a day with some samples to look at and demos xxxhugs vick
