Happy Sunday morning! I hope you are enjoying a break from all the Christmas cards of late! I was beginning to feel like I was bombarding you since I have so many to show. Even though there aren't a lot of samples comparatively for today's shows (only about two dozen, after all it is only three shows, not a POTW), I really enjoyed working with these die sets. Today's card features the Resplendent Rectangles. I really like this die set as there are just so many options you have with it. I started with a pale yellow piece of card and embossed it with the Garden Lattice A4 embossibility folder. I then cut an aperture using the largest size of the rectangle set. I love how it leaves a decorative piercing edge outside the die (you can see it nicely in the close up below). I mounted the negative piece on 3D foam pieces as a border to my focal element. I cut a piece of black card that I used as a background in my aperture, them recessed the die cut on top of it . I cut the next die in the set and created a black frame which I glued to my recessed die cut. I stamped my sentiment on pale yellow card and then cut a black frame from the two smallest dies in the set. I cut thin pieces of 3D foam and mounted this over the sentiment, giving it dimension. I tied a double bow out of black silky crush ribbon and added a fancy button from my stash. I pierced the edges of a double black mat to finish the card.Karen Edwards!!!

morning Sue
It's nice to see the new A4 die as I have just received mine a couple of days ago and haven't managed to use it yet so thank you. The A4 seem to be very popular as I am having difficulty buying - always sold out -. Anyway I really like today's card - it looks very involved but as you describe it and take it step by step all is revealed. One for me to try -definitely.
Janet x
Fab card. Love these dies and the Marvelous Squares. Hugs, Julia xxx

Great card Sue, Just watching you on C&C thanks for the tip on making a border with the lattice die, would never have thought of it.
Im watching you too today, love the card with the gold leaf.
An impressive card today, and it should definitely have a place in our crafting arsenal.
Thank you, Sue

Just seen your show love the gold leaf, got family to buy me some dies for xmas presents and bought your crinkly paper as well love ALL your cards today will be watching your later show as well will have to try and keep the purse closed !!!!!!!!!!
very elegant card angxxxx
Very elegant card again Sue. I'm recording your shows to watch later as my 4 & 2 yr old don't allow me to watch properly! I did however go on line as soon as it turned 12 & order everything I wanted! I bought all dies & folder sets (which were cheaper by that time than when I looked earlier - had a feeling that might happen so held out ordering early) & lots of crafting essentials. Bit more affordable split over a few months, even though I can't really afford it at mo after all the other dies I bought on your Christmas shows ;-). Never mind, you only live once! Congrates to the winners. One day I might win something :-). Claire xxx
Great card! So simple and so elegant :)
A lovely card Sue. Just caught the last half hour of the show, looking forward to the 5pm show
Lovely card, your demos were great today, brought both multi buy die sets an few other items, looking forwad to the next show.Hugs Melody
Hi Sue,
Love this very much. Any colour looks so great with black!
Disappointed that the Garden Lattice A4 embossibility folder wasn't available individually today. Had to purchase the multibuy just to get it. Tragedy!Having seen what can be done with the dies though, only the bank manager will be sorry!!!!
Fab demos again. Will be watching you later with Dawn (if there's anything left) LOL.
All the best,
Sue
Love that Sue. Very nice - something I could make I think.
Love the effects you have got with these dies Sue.
I will try something similar but with black and white.

This is lovely Sue, saw it on the C&C show. I managed to see 12pm til 1pm & at the moment you're still busy! Fantastic dies & love the fancy lattice background. Wow, the gorgeous cards you have made & demoed. It's been wonderful to see you back on the screen. Hope you have a great time at the Kettering show. You are a busy bee! You take care of yourself & try & rest too. We do love seeing you & want to see you more often, but there's your mom & family to consider too. I have elderly parents (82 & 84!)but they're not as far away as your mom...."Thank you" for your inspiration. xx Love Karen xx
Love these rectangle dies and need to be added to the "wanted" list.Another beautiful card. Thanks. Hil xo
Hi Sue,
Well I'm in awe at your talent yet again. Have watched all your shows today and of course, had to buy the resplendant rectangles. (Got the marvelous squares already)
Those cards are just beautiful, you are quite right - the sky's the limit when it comes to combinations/placement of dies.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Hi Sue, such a beautiful card ! I've just watched your 5-6pm show with Dawn, love to see how you use your dies, and the Lattice one is fab. I emailed in with a pic of a Golden Wedding card I made for my neighbours, it wasn't read out, but you picked me out of the cup so I get to receive one of your cards, thank you for that ! I hope you saw the pic I sent in, your card will go in my craft room and inspire me when my mojo goes walkabout ! Take care, love Anne x
Sue missed your shows, its been one of those days, sorry. Love the card as it uses one of my new dies. x
Good evening Sue
Lovely card, saw this today on C & C.
The dies are gorgeous, each one so different! The the potential for so many looks with the different combinations of dies...mmmm!

I must get my hands on these dies Sue, have the Dec' Labels 8 and must admit it was hard to choose which to buy - having seen your gorgeous samples on air and here I realise it's not a choice it's a necessity - lol!
Su (Soop)
Hi Sue. I went to write earlier this morning but the computer decided to pack up on me. I think your card for today is geat. I love the matting and layering with just two colours and those lovely fancy rectangle dies. I fell in love with the garden lattice m-bossability A4 folder and just had to get it on its own. My brain cant figure out how to extend the smaller folders so I am really pleased they have made bigger ones. Lots of love Tres x x x
Just beautiful Sue x
Did watch one of the shows on create & craft. Love to watch coz I love to get inspiration & tips.
