Hello everyone! Today's card uses a set of new Spellbinders that were supposed to have been on my last shows, but had to be taken off at the last minute due to stock issues. These are the new Jewel Flowers and Flourishes by Juliana Hudgins and they are lovely. I started with a simple embossed background which used the Twigs and Tweets Embossibility folder (isn't that the cutest name!) This is using the "tweets" side of the folder. I stamped my sentiment on a green dotty paper in black archival and clear embossed it. I cut that into a wide strip and added a vintage lace border to the top and bottom of the strip which were cut out of milk card. I added some pearls along the border for interest and a bit of bling. Next I picked a small floral patterned paper and covered it with self adhesive sticky paper and cut out my flowers. I cut two each of the two different styles of larger flowers from this set. I covered them with clear micro beads and assembled my flowers. I added a large flatback pearl to the centres of both of them. I cut out a couple of the swirls from this set and added them around my flowers top and bottom. I glued the flowers into place to the side of my sentiment and pierced the edges to finish it off. Just a really sweet simple card, not as fancy as some, but I still really like it and hope it appeal to you too. All for now, Sue x

Such a pretty fresh looking card and although the twigs and tweets are not my favourite type ofembossing folder it would work with others. love the new flowers, cant wait to see the dies
Lovely card Sue and those flowers are wow.x
The flowers are really pretty and delicate. I didn't think I liked Twigs and Tweets, but it looks lovely on this card.
Yes Sue, very appealing. The new dies look good as I like making up flowers, they give cards more dimension. Great card using a few colours, simple but effective.

Morning Sue,
Love the card, as usual, another masterpiece.
Wasn't so sure about the emboss folder until seeing it on this card.
Beautiful flowers. X
What a gorgeous card, I love the flowers
hugs Linda
Sue,
I didn't think I wanted this embossing folder, however once again you have demonstrated the need to buy this when available... Too cute.
Hope you had a wonderful restful fun time...
That's lovely again, Sue. I need to take a closer look at Julianna's Flowers & Flourishes, as I already use her Jewel Fantasies a lot.
Hi Sue,
as you said a lovely fresh and simple card, but very effective and pretty.
Just love the flowers and the swirls.
Have a great crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Morning,
Such a pretty card, very fresh looking. Its a shame these dies were not on the show they would have flown out the door - well flown to my house at least.

The card is great ,I really like the embossing folder in the background .
Morning Sue, very eye catching and just beautiful. Love the flowers too so can't wait for these to become available. I clicked on your photographs to enlarge the pictures and it really brought everything into close up and showed it off a treat. Continue to enjoy your break, hugs Christine H xx
Good Morning Sue,
A really cute card today, I like the Twigs and Tweets folder, it is cute, the flowers are so pretty, it all works wonderfully, a really lovely card.
Have a great day everyone.
Happy2craft
GM Sue - love this - never thought to stamp sentiment onto patterned paper but it works! perhaps a simple pattern to start with for me. Your green spotty dotties are really eye catching. A must try.

Love the way the Twigs & Tweets looks on this card and the flowers look stunning. A very nice simple card which I may have to copy! love Jean x
Morning Sue, Just when I thought you couldn't get any better, YOU DID, this card is GORGEOUS, I love the twigs and tweets (although originally it didn't appeal to me), and the flowers and flourishes are absolutely stunning with the micro beads on them, and the dotty paper and borders finishes off the most gorgeous card. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue, a really pretty card. I love the folder, looking forward to new dies. Bx

good morning sue wow another amazing card i love the flowers i need to buy some embossing folders but i am new to spellbinder crafting and i am addicted looking at you cards have given me so many ideas of how to use them thnak you for sharing them
have a lovely day shirley xxx
Hello Sue
Love the message on the border and the Tweets! The flower cut from printed paper are so sweet! Love this card
LoveMarg
yes Sue it does appeal both the green colour and design
I have the Twigs and Tweets folder and the twigs side is to die for - I have not used the tweets side yet but it has a feeling of Russia to me so may have to think of a theme based on that. I love the card and the flower element could easily be made with other dies.
morning sue, I don't know about as fancy as some, but to me this card is just elegance itself, beautifully made and for me it definately has the WOW factor.

Hi Sue, nothing simple about it at all. I really like the clean/fresh look and that embossing folder is now a 'must have'. Your Vintage Lace dies have just arrived today and as it is now raining (again) I can have a play.
Hope you are enjoying your break without getting withdrawal symptoms :-)
