Hi guys! A card made with the Grand Decorative Ovals today. I was instantly smitten with these when I saw them. Since the largest die in this set is 7" x 9" in size I thought it would be lovely to use it for a shaped card sample. I picked out some decorative paper from October Afternoon to use. I cut each of the sizes, using the next size down inside it to create a frame. Once cut, I matted my decorative papers behind each of the three frames. I taped them all together using the same point on the left so they appear to be spaced. I stamped my sentiment on milk card in black and embossed it in clear. I then taped the Asian motif die over it and used Barn Door distress ink to highlight it. I then lifted the die up and placed a piece of sticky paper under the die and taped it back in place. I cut the die and then peeled back the backing paper and poured micro beads over it. I attached my focal piece with mounting foam. I added a messy bow tied from Lipstick red American seam binding and covered a button with matching paper for the centre of my bow. I added some pearl swirls across the card as an accent to finish it off. It's a bit different, but I thought it was quite fun when it was finished! All for now, Sue x
Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow!Oh! Wow! Oh! Wow! this card is so, so different I love it.
I liked it when I saw it on C&C it looks even better when you see it up close.
Don`t have the Grand Oval but I do have the circles. Might just have a wee go at this idea.
Thank you for all your inspiration.
Have a Great Weekend

Hi Sue. Stunning Stunning Stunning.
ReplyDeleteSoooooooooooo Gorgeous.Hugs Sheila,xx
wow this is stunning love the papers you have used and the button is fab sue xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, I love this card and this is what prompted me to go for the grand oval and circle dies from the show. I have used them already but to make a couple of rocker card bases! They look great too with a decirative edge rather than a boring old plain one. I will be trying this card later it's brilliant. Sonia x
ReplyDeleteFab-U-lous, plus ditto, ditto, ditto what everyone else said!! Mabex

Morning Sue, oh boy, this is something special! Love it, love it, love it! Fabulous use of the grand oval dies and the colours are awesome. I think this one goes to the top of the tree. Have a lovely day, hugs Christine H xx
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this card. You are clever, Sue. Would have been flummaxed how to get the micro beads onto the sentiment but now I know.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteI loved this card too when I saw it on C&C. I just love those Grand Oval dies, they are just stunning, just like this card! love Jean x
Ooh I love this, so different,

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
Gorgeous gorgeous card I love it. I ordered the Grand dies both sets I do like these as they cut so easily in the "cali" I am enjoying playing with them such lovely frames and look so pretty plain or with lovely backing papers.
Enjoy your weekend hope the weather is kind to you.
Luv n hugs Annx without an "e"
Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with everyone else, lovely, different, great paper choice, colour, covered button, stunning.
Have a great day everyone.

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card . Looks like a pile of lacy doilies. The colours suit it so well. X
Morning Sue, This card is amazing. Today is the day, ms off to football this afternoon, so I get to craft without any disruptions....I don't have these particulat dies, but I have smaller ovals I think, I may use your card as inspiration for a topper.....thanks Sue, what would we do without your daily dose of spellbinder magic? Lynn xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a different look - really wonderful! Must try it out with my grand dies!
ReplyDeleteSue,
ReplyDeleteWhen I opened this WOW was the first reaction.. Very cool.
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow this is different, very pretty and girly love the papers.
Have a good day.

ReplyDeletethis is not one of my favs (too much pink for me) and I do not have the grand dies but I do like the concept and I will be trying it out with one of my oval dies. Today is my last full day here in Burgundy as I start my return to the UK tomorrow morning. Will try and catch you before I leave.

Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteI loved this card when I first saw it on C&C so I am glad you have put it on your blog so we can get a closer look at it. These dies are on the top of my 'I need' list so I will be ordering them when they are back in stock.
Hugs x
Stunning, and so unusual. Love the papers xxxx
ReplyDeletebeautiful....loved this when I saw you do the demo...magic and the button is the icing on the frothy cake...as it were...love it take care Margaret
ReplyDeletehave finally given in and bought the gc as these dies are great and I need them. love the design of the card.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this on Create and Craft I wasnt sure but seeing it up close well you just know I now have to have those dies as well. Ah well add anoter to the growing wish list.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card Sue. Saw it on C&C & thought it very pretty.
Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot, it's different. It would need your backing stand though, or need redesigning a bit for a traditional card. Every card you make leaves me "needing" that die!!!
Happy weekend. Jackie C xx
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. I dont have these ovals but did order the decorative circle dies, (they had sold out on C&C so had to order elsewhere and I havent got them yet!!!)
I do have the grand scalloped ovals so could do a plainer style
Thanks for the inspiration

What a fantastic Card Sue - I am going to make a similar one now for my daughter's wedding Anniversary -thanks for reminding us about those dies and that way of using them - I have so many dies now that I can't keep track but since I started my blog I've started to use them now and it is enjoyable even when you don't get any visitors. If anyone would like to look at my blog, it is http://jeanlilygee.blogspot.co.uk/.
