Hi bloggers! Labels 18, not 20 for a change! You know I just had to do it though, another buckle card, well it is actually a faux buckle card! I am not sure what it is about these, but I just love making them in all their different configurations. Diagonally this time. I started with the background which was embossed with the Mystic Embossibility folder. It is easily extendable because the pattern repeats so that is what I have done to get the larger size background. I used the three largest sizes dies in the Labels 18 set for my frames, one large and two slightly smaller ones. For the largest size, I added the matching pearl Nestabling to really bling up the centre of my card. I used one of the Justrite border stamps and white embossed it for my strip in my buckle. I added an aqua mat for it and cut the ends into forks. On a piece of coconut white card, I stamped the Justrite Fleur de lis stamp and white embossed it. I stamped my sentiment in the open area using Broken China distress ink and I edged it too to bring out the pattern in the embossing. I cut it out with the matching labels 20 die. Since it is a faux buckle card, I haven't actually woven my strip through the frames. I didn't want my strip to cover the Nestabling, so I have just made it look like the strip is woven when in fact I have just placed it between the frames and attached mounting foam on the back to hold them in place (making it a faux buckle card!) I placed the sentiment tag in the centre with mounting foam. I used some aqua silky crush ribbon across the bottom of the card and tied a double bow. I used some pearl stick pins and a fancy brad from my craft stash for the middle of the bow. The only thing left to do was the piercing around the edges to complete my buckle card. I hope you're not all buckled out! All for now, Sue x

You have just made my mind up about buckle cards. I really like them. I know it has taken me a while to decide but yes they are for me. I love today's colours and the configuration.I think this would make a good man card changing the colour scheme of course.
Janet x
Beautiful..........
Labels 18 and 20 work well together..
I didn't need to be convinced about buckle cards, loved them from the moment you demo'd them.
Have a great weekend.

Morning Sue, I have this die so really love this one! Gorgeous colour too. Hugs, Carol S.xx
This is definitely your fave colour combo. Fab card.
Hi Sue I am certainly not fed up with buckle cards because I am yet to do one...just waiting for my Christmas dies to make one! I got the project book yesterday and absolutely love it! It really has a professional feel about it and loved the instructions and illustrations. I went through the book guessing which cards were yours LOL! Take care Love Michelle xxx
Wow, that's really eye catching. I love the colour and the way you've used the die is brilliant. Pat x
Morning Sue, beautiful and love the colours. Brill!!

Morning Sue, These buckle cards are great. I love the effect they give. Think I am going to have to get the Just Rite stamps even though I am not a very good stamper, they just finish things off. Have a good weekend.

Hi Sue, I really like this colour and the buckle effect. A stunning card. I can't wait for my project book to arrive. xxx Jean
Good morning Sue, love these colours together, beautiful card. Hugs xx
Hi Sue
Lovely card - I really like the buckle cards (or faux buckle in this case). I really must try to make one. I like the fact that they can be male or female by really just changing colour & taking away bows etc. Finally managed to track down labels 20 - although I think it's coming from America - so I'll be able to have a go at some of your gorgeous cards!!
Hi Sue,
Loving your buckle cards this is is so pretty elegant with clean lines and the colours are great.
Have a good day.

Another beautiful card. Will have to get out my frame dies and try a buckle card.
What a lovely card. I too am addicted to these colours, but I can't use the nestabling. Seems to precious to actually put in on a card. I have a wedding to make for next year maybe that will be the time. For now, I'll just look at it! xx
