A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Morning bloggers! I was going for a sort of shabby chic/vintage look with this one. This was the first card that I made with the JustRite matching stamps and I just was having so much fun stamping and layering them! It opens up a whole new dimension to your cards when you have a stamp that matches your die. (I am not sure I can go back to just using a die without a matching stamp now!) It is especially useful when you don't have any decorative paper that works for what you may have in mind. I stamped each of these just in black archival ink on coloured card. For the largest label shape, I added a matching black rhinestone Nestabling and made a "faux nestie" by drawing around the actual die and cutting it by hand. This is a great way to get a mat when you have used the largest size of your die set. You can easily sand the rough spots with an emery board or fine sandpaper too. The smallest Labels 20 was stamped on taupe card and then the sentiment was stamped in the opening. I added some Vintage Lace borders, in taupe and aqua, to opposite corners and used some black rhinestones to accent them. I actually did a bit of sewing around the edges (that's my shabby chic look). I tied a double bow from the black silky crush ribbon and added a fancy button from my stash and a couple of crystal stick pins. A little swirl of black rhinestones in the other corner for balance and it provided the finishing touch. I hope you like it. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue what a beautifull card i love the colours that you have used.im not a stamper but this as made me thinking about having ago. I like how you mix differant die sets. Looking forward to having you bacm on our screens again. Take care

Good morning Sue, I love love love this card and have bought these stamps and dies and ones with the Christmas ornaments and agree this is truly a new way to go. Funny how just when you think you have enough wow this combination is fun and I am not much of a fan of stamping but think that is a changing.
Good morning Sue WOW! What a stunning card it's shabby chic at its finest. I received these stamps yesterday and can't wait to play with them. I agree with you that it brings a new dimension to your card when you match the stamps to the dies. Hugs x
Morning Sue, Truly gorgeous card, love the colours, and the Justrite stamps really complement the die-cuts, I really need to get some of these stamps, they look so beautiful. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Sue treated myself to the kindness set of just rite stamps at the NEC......and you are right what a difference it makes.....love your card ......doing a cream on brown card today and your card has given me lots of ideas....hope you are having a good time with Mom are you staying for thanksgiving? hugs xxxxxxxxxx
Hi Sue I think the card is absolutely beautiful, just so pleased I got these stamps when you were on C&C. I am off to the NEC today, I am sorry not to see you there. Hope you are having a nice time. Take care Love Michelle xx
What is there NOT to like? The card is beautiful - inspires me to stamp the dies I have using the stamps I have in my stash... Have a good weekend, Sue
Oh dear... I may get a back lash for this but it isn't on my favourite card list.Sue....bit over the top ...I.am not particularly a stamper but I can get to grips with dies and matching.stamps takes away my creativity. Love your work overall....hugs Sue H x
Simply stunning, I really like the concept of stamps matching dies, it is something else to add to any crafty arsenal. It gives a totally different look. TFS Hugs Amanda x
Hi Sue What a gorgeous card you've created. I just love the stamps. The colours of the card are lovely I do like the aqua card against the taupe. The result is stunning.
Thank you for the inspiration I must get some more stamps for my spellbinders.
Hi Sue, Lovely card but for me the bow is too overpowering, I would have used flowers instead. I do love everything else you have done. Have a good day. Lydia X
Hi Sue I love this one those stamps and dies really look good with the colors you have used , and i especially like the lovely button , where do you get them from ?
Really effective way to achieve a different look. But my stamping is not too good so it won't be for me I'm afraid. Will still use the dies, but not with stamps. This card is stunning. Very envious...XXX
i adore this card its a real stunner i think my christmas box will aft to the dies and the justrite stamps i think they are amazing and like you said opens a whole new dimension to your cards .. hugs sarah ...xxx
What can I say Sue? Just gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! The taupe, aqua & black go wonderfully together. Beautiful bow & love the button from stash, would love some of those....! Another "sharp intake of breath" & a "sings to me" card! xx Love Karen xx
Hello Sue, Stunning card, very luxurious, love the taupe and aqua. I have the dies and stamps and agree that they add a whole new demension, really fun to work with. Have a great day everyone. Hugs June xxx
Morning Sue, great cars. I have the stamps and dies but have not had the chance to have a proper play with them yet only made a simple sympathy card. Hugs xx
Oh wow, I love this one sue! The colours are gorgeous and those stamps are fab. I love the way you have used a couple of borders on the corners of the card. Have a great weekend. Maddy x
Hi Sue, Lovely Card and the colours work so well. I have been unsure about these stamps you are doing a great job showing them to me in my craft room/study/converted smallest bedroom (my space) I think I am falling in love with them! Love BrenLel
Hi Sue, I would recognise this as a 'Sue' card anywhere. It is lovely. So far I only have the Classic Scallop Borders One stamps and have enjoyed playing with them but it looks as though I will have to put others on my wish list now:-) Frances
Hi Sue Love the idea of dies and stamps to match. I think the stamps that match the baubles are lovely. However, this is not my favourite card I'm afraid - sorry!I think it's a bit too fussy for me & not sure about the colours for me. As much as I like bows I would take it away from this.
Hi sue wow what a great shabby chic card, the colours are lovely together.I just love the justrite stamps,I have the bauble set but this label 20 is top of my list now I really love it!! Love lesley xx
This is a bit busy for me with all the different patterns, but I do love the look of the Justrite stamps with the dies - maybe Santa will bring me some if I ask nicely!!
Hi Sue. A very pretty card for today !! I am not sure about the colour scheme but I like every thing else about the card. I have just got your new vintage lace dies and I am going to start playing with them today !! Have a good day Love Tres x x x
Hi Sue know what you mean by matching die and stamp.I just made my own stamp by cutting out foam shape of the die to stamp with and gluing other die cut outs of foam to it. TRim what over hangs and your good to go. Ink and stamp lol saving money now. Fabulous card loving the bow and dazzel. Well done Born again spellbinder Nadine hug xxx nzillingworth@hotmail.com
Hi Sue, I do like the card , but I'm not sure about the black bow. I think that might be just my hang up as I don't have a lot of success tying bows. Gail C x
I think every card you make is beautiful and so inspirational and this is no exception. Can't wait for your next appearance on Create and Craft. Kind regards Sylvia
Hi Sue What a super card, I have the dies you have used I am pleased to say, so will have a go! Hope you are enjoying the sunshine spare a thought for us up here in the wild and wolly North we have seen snow, yes really. Margaret
Hi Sue The card is lovely and labels 20 are one of my favourite dies and I have now decided to get the stamps to match lol!. Thank you Lizzie (serial copycat)xox
Hi Sue, Sorry but I think the big black bow overpowers the card. I have stamps and dies for the Christmas Ornaments and they work brilliantly together.
Wow Sue, this is beautiful. I love the colours you've used and the black silky crush ribbon bow brings a real touch of class to it along with the fancy button and crystal stick pins.
Hi Sue, I love the JustRite stamps too. The matching dies as well - and your Vintage Lace borders with the rhinestones - and that gorgeous bow, in fact I love everything about this card! Sue xx
Oh my word this is fantastic Sue, I love it. Spellbinder's was on again as the POTD on Tuesday and I bought them! I am so looking forward to playing with them.
