Hello there! More of the Labels 20 samples to show today. This is one of my personal favourites as I was very pleased with how it came out. Sometimes I start a card with an idea in mind and then end up veering off course, but this one came out exactly as I had envisioned it from the beginning. I used the Heartfelt Lace border twice to simply emboss the design on the background. If you find that your embossing tends to cut into your card, try using a sheet of copy paper between the die and your card. You can also use your die while there is a cut die still in place in it as that helps to cut down on the depth of the embossing. I then cut a frame using the largest size of the Labels 20, skipping a size of die and used the next one for the inside of the frame. I embossed it while still in the die using the Enchanted embossibility folder. To do this, you much place your die on one side of the folder and keep the folder open! Cover with your tan mat, add a few sheets of cardstock to make up the depth that you lose by keeping the folder open, then cover with your raspberry adaptor plate and run through the machine. If you close the folder, the die will cut into your folder and ruin it! I added the matching pearl Nestabling to the edge. Next I stamped the Labels 20 from the Justrite Kindness set using a clear perfect medium pad onto vellum. I heat embossed it with white powder and mounted it behind my frame and trimmed the excess away. I stamped my sentiment in coffee archival and cut it out with a small circle die. I inked it with Antique Linen and mounted it with foam in the centre of my focal element. Next I used the Justrite scallop border stamp on taupe card and white embossed it. I cut it out with the matching edgeability die. I added a mat piece in camel card to match my focal piece and cut it also with the same edgeability die. I matted the pieces up and added them to the side of my card as an accent. I tied a double bow out of white silky crush ribbon and added a pearl embellishment to the centre. Two pearl stick pins finished off my bow and pearls in the corners and piercing the edges finished off my card. I just love the sheerness of the vellum in the frame, I have to remember to use vellum more often!
Just a little note before I go, I am taking a short trip up to Savannah Ga this morning for a few days. I'll post piccies on the weekend from it and tell you all about it. I have scheduled posts for each day, but I may not be able to answer emails while I am away. All for now, Sue x

Well, Sue, another new (to me) trick/treat - white heat embossing onto white vellum, what a great technique.

Very elegant card, love the vellum but the bow is a bit big for my taste, overpowers the beautiful design I think.
Hi Sue,
Great inspiration to use velum, I do a bit of parchment craft and this would be a great way to frame it so the 'sticking' product is well hidden.

A stuner of a card, all the elements work so well together, just love it. Zerena
Today's card is just beautiful. October has been a month with extraordinary beautiful cards. And at the same time I can't remember a month with so many cards without the famous Sue Wilson bows. I used to think that your bows were what made your cards so different, but I have to think again :)
Have a wonderful trip.
Morning Sue
A beautiful and elegant design. I love the bow and pearl embellishment:)

morning Sue from a very very frosty morning here in Burgundy - Another card that must go into my 'must do' folder particularly because of the emossing with dies which I have shied away from doing. I cannot wait to get back to the UK and my machine so I can try all the techniques you have demo while I have been away. I will not be leaving my machine behind again!!!
Hope all your family and friends are safe.

Hi Sue
What a beautiful and stunning card. The just rite stamps are lovely and I'm still waiting for my emboss ink pad to come through the post so i can start embossing for the first time. I have everything else ready! I may have to go buy another emboss ink pad while I wait! I will have to save up for the fleur de lys background stamp too.
I will be thinking of you as I go around the NEC hobbycrafts and wish you'll be able to make it next year, I'm going on my own this year so will be stressed and nervous but I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I get there it's just the travelling I don't like!
I look forward to your photos and will be wishing you good health good travelling and good weather, enjoy your trip.
Take care from Katie-Lou x

But what a way to cheer myself up, I absolutely love all the cards that use the justrite, labels 20 and labels 18 and I've got to say the card "want another year?" is totally stunning, I've missed you Sue and don't intend to get poorly again.
Todays card is another stunner, I think I'm recharged and ready to do some crafting again tommorrow.

Justrite stamps make the most exquisite stamps don't they - i've enjoyed looking at them for years on Becca Feakens site (although not been there recently). They always beautifully enhance Spellbinders Dies. One day, I might even own one!
Take care on your trip - hope Sandy doesn't come and join you!
Looking forward to hearing all about it.

This is my first visit to your blog and I loved it so much I signed up as a follower. This card is so elegant and lovely!!
Thanks, Cheryl from Maine
Beautiful and full of great ideas to try! Thanks for sharing not just the card, but some of the "magical" techniques used to create it!
I love the look of these cards you have done, I do have a question, on the little pearls you placed all around, did you hand place each one? In your instructions it sounded like maybe they came that way?? I have never seen something that comes already to place on your spellbinder projects? Would you mind giving me information on the pearls? Thanks so much
