Happy Sunday Morning! A little sneak peek this morning at one of the samples for the 4 Day Deal shows that I am doing starting bright and early Monday morning. They have decided to make the launch a two hour show from 8am to 10am so hopefully more demos I can get to do. These shows are all about showing new ideas for some older dies stamps and new techniques. I have been able to get the Heartfelt Creations dies that sold out so quickly last April added to these shows. I am very excited to be able to work with them again as they are lovely designs. Today's card uses the Label 20 die set and the matching JustRite stamps. I started with my background and stamped the Labels 20 stamp using a clear perfect medium and clear embossed it on to black card. I love that this brings a nice texture for the eye. I then cut out the largest size of the set out of the soft gold card. I kept the die in place and embossed the rest of my background using the Tied Together embossing folder. Remember, you can't close the folder or your die will cut into it and damage the folder. You will need to add extra card to make up for the missing depth of the open folder to get a nice emboss. I mounted 3D foam on the background to raise it for dimension and over my matching stamped piece. I matted the entire piece on taupe card. I stamped my sentiment on taupe card and cut it out with a small Labels 20 die. I inked it very lightly with Black soot as an accent and mounted it in the centre of my aperture. I made three of the Bitty Blossom flowers by covering them with sticky adhesive sheets before cutting them. Once cut, I removed the backing paper and covered them in gold (Red Tiger) gilding leaf sheets. I used a stiff brush, rubbing in a circular fashion to remove the excess leaf. Then I rolled the flowers in the usual manner to assemble them. I cut several of my favourite swirl from the Dutch Iris set from Heartfelt and added them to my flowers top and bottom as accents. I also used a few leaves cut out of black card and some black tulle (from my craft stash) to complete my accent pieces. So this one is a bit of a twist on my black, taupe and soft gold combo as it has some coppery giding to it too, but I rather liked it since it was a bit different.

Super card Sue, I am gutted though as will miss the 4 day deal launch as will be at work - which inevitably means as you are doing it they will be gone by the time I get home that night - oh blast. Enjoy the launch.
Hugs Lynn
I love the gilded flowers!
Sue, the roses are gorgeous. We're really excited that you're doing a 4 day deal - shows are set to record as we'll be at work and school when they air :o( Do you have any scheduled airtime for school half term - that would be great if you did!
Congtratulations to all the winners - you lucky things!

Morning sue another masterpiece,and that gold card is fantastic.I am so happy that you will be on C.C. Monday,and will record all.

Regards
Ita

Another gorgeous card. I'm thinking about which dies to put on my Christmas wish list. It's so difficult to choose!
I do love this card Sue. You have been inspiring me to use my (few) Spellbinders and where I don't have what you have, I've been improvising with my Cameo. I can't afford to invest in a lot of Spellbinders but what I do is inspired by you...
Also - I can't believe you have actually pulled my name out this week - I'm so excited... I have contacted you via e-mail so hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you again Sue

I look forward to seeing new things with old dies. Yeah. See you tomorrow on the tv
Really great card, look forward to the demos.
Good afternoon Sue
I am so pleased to see some older dies back in use again. I was only thinking the other day how good it would be to see them used in different ways as the trouble is with all the new dies that keep coming out, you tend to forget about the ones you have and it seems such a waste. Love this card and will try to be up early tomorrow to watch your shows. Congratulations to the lucky winners. Love Jean x
After seeing todays post Sue Can't wait for your shows next week especialy as you will be using older dies with newer techniques.
ValC x
This is the most creative card making blog ever. I'm glad I joined.

Good afternoon Sue, hope you have had a great weekend. What a fantastic idea to go back and use older dies and I can only imagine it is going to be very helpful to a lot of crafter out there. Looking forward to the shows n will be recording them. Great card by the way.
Kind regards

Hopefully as I comment (22:48) you are getting some well earned rest after the weekend shows and ready for your 8am C&C show. Don't know where you get the energy Sue!
Firstly, love the gilding on the flowers. They look really rich. Second, a huge thank you for the Kettering show. I had the best time including two superb workshops with Hels. Came home buzzing and full of inspiration. Thank you too to all the team - hope you can do it again. Hugs, Buttons x
Oh Wow, I love this one - so elegant, so sophisticated. The gilded flowers are just gorgeous.
It sounds like everyone had such a lovely time at Kettering. I was so disappointed not to be able to get there for the first one but hope there will be more in the future.
Hope you are getting some well earned sleep now - you've got another early start tomorrow!
Looking forward to the shows very much.
Congrats to the winners,

Hi Sue,
Bit late catching up with what is happening. What a stunning card and added to that I now find you are on the television for four days...though possibly not if you sell out!! I will have to set the tape as I'm on my way back to my mum tomorrow. Hope you have an enjoyable time
love from Jackie D

I'm new to making greeting cards ,I think there is something special about giving someone not just a thoughtful card , but a card made with them in mind!!! Looking at all your beautiful cards you just became my personal hero!!! Are there any videos on youtube of how you use your embossing die-cuts and how you put card together?
Thank you
Love your work
