Morning all! A really simple, quick card for today's post. I stamped the Violet label from Justrite stamps three times on to milk coloured card. I used a black archival ink pad to stamp, cut it out with the matching Antique Labels and Banner die and ink them with Antique Linen while still in the die. I used an Antique linen distress marker to add a bit of colour to the flowers and leaves. I stamped the tiny thank you into each of them in the oval area. It is nice that it is left blank on the stamp so you can easily personalise it for whatever your needs. I added some 3mm black gems to the centres of each of the flowers on the labels. I used some Graphic 45 papers to create the background, keeping the colours neutral and on the vintage side to go with the look that I wanted. I added a strip of black seam binding between the two papers and added a messy bow at the bottom topped with a fancy button and stick pin accents. For a bit of bling, I added a black rhinestone swirl to the side of the card and pierced the edges to finish it off. There is nothing tricky to this one, a simple card with a repetitive theme to it, but I just love the nice vintage feel to it. Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Bore Da Sue, What a lovely elegant card you have this morning. I love the colours, it is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Sue x x
hI Sue, what a lovely, elegant card with a vintage touch..love the papers, Carole Z X
I just love using tri-things (things of three) so this is definitely my kind of card. Great bow but gotta say your added little details (rhinestones/bling) are the ones I love most in your card. Fab one.
Hugs, Eemeli
Beautiful as always love from Sam x
Good morning Sue,
Love the concept, will try this in lighter colours for me.
Have a Great Day
Patricia. xx
great card, love the colour scheme, bug fan of groups of three on cards
Morning Sue,
I have to agree with Patricia, I find this a very heavy card. Love the concept, will try it in lighter colours.
Hope you are enjoying your time in the States.

Hi Sue what a lovely elegant card today

Hi Sue, wonderful card, love the vintage feel.
Wilma x x
This card works really well,I like it

Love the concept, still not keen on those asymmetric dies/stamps, so I'd substitute another shape. It's given me ideas for a man card, so thank you for that.
Hi Sue. I like "trios" on cards and I love the whole look of this one. Take care.
LOVE THE STYLE OF THIS CARD SUE VERY NICE. CARNT WAIT TILL WE HAVE MOVED AND I CAN GET BACK TO BUY MY CRAFTY STUFF MISSING OUT ON LOADS LOL.. HUGS SARAH ..XX
GM Sue - like Lacelady above, I am also not keen on those labels shapes - I know I've said this before but they have not grown on me with time and I don't covet them.
I do love the design of this card though and it could easily be adapted with other shapes - rather than having the same message repeated 3 times I am thinking each element could have one word - e.g. for Valentines I----Love----You or Get---Well----Soon. I shall have a go at this.Thanks
Regards
Clare W
Hi Sue
Love the design, colours a bit dark for me so would give lighter colours ago.
Happy crafting
Love Tina x
Great card Sue. Could adapt to any colour scheme
Morning Sue
It's wonderful how you get the ideas and inspiration for your cards. Today's card is fab
June x
I like the elegance of this,
Hi Sue,
whilst not keen on the shapes (and they're also not growing on me), there are enough dies in my SB stash to give this a go, as I love the design. You are truly amazing how you come up with all these different ideas - thank you for sharing.
Lovely colours But it's those dies again I still can't make my mind up about them At the mo they really don't float my boat! Your ideas are amazing though
Hi Sue,
Getting used to this shape now, like it stacked. A very vintage feel to this card...lovely.

Morning Sue
Thank you for a beautiful card to start the day. I too love the kraft card in all its forms. It lends itself to any generation and any gender. I really must buy the stamps - I tried yesterday wherever I tried although the supplier said would post to europe and gave the cost of postage when I got to the check out it threw a message 'cannot post to your destination' - whatever happened to one common market?
Janet x
Great card Sue. I love graphic 45 papers too. Not able to do much myself lately because I got pneumonia from the rotten flu that's going around. I'm only in my mid 30's!!!!
Hope you have a great day everyone.
Hi Sue,
Like a couple of the others these dies and stamps have not grown on me just don't like the shape, however, I love the concept of the card and I have other dies in my stash which would work.
Hope you are having a great time with your family.

Hi Sue not keen on this card sorry,even though it's not fussy.

Good morning Sue, very nice card today. Great patterned papers wish I had some. Hugs xx
Sorry Sue this one is not for me-I hate saying those words to you but i cannot tell a lie,take care,x.
Hi Sue What another lovely card, I wasn't sure about the 'thank you'
3x but I do like it! Take care Love Michelle xxx
Love the papers and style of this card, and although I don't have these stamps and dies I'm sure I could use similar.
Hi Sue
Lovely card I really like the interesting way you have used the colours. The violets look so unusual done with this colouring.
Graphic 45 make some great papers please can we have some.
Enjoy your time with the family.
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Love the papers in this card, and although I don't have these stamps and dies I'm sure you could use similar.
Love the colours chosen here, it looks bold yet soft and vintage. xx Flora
Interesting card today, almost manly in appearance. Not my cup of tea I'm afraid, but the design is nice, I may use the idea with different colours. After all inspiration is what it's all about. Linda xxx
like many of the others im not keen on this shape but sure i can find something else that would fit the bill
Gorgeous card.
Clare x
Such a beautiful card, love the colours
I love the lay out in this card, but not too keen about the papers thoug. Think it all gets too dark for me somehow, even I normally love black and white cards, but this is bit too dark, sorry to say so, as I normally always love everything you do, but ofcause we can´t always totally agree to everything.
Hope, you´re having a wonderful time with your family over there. Take care.
Morning Sue, A lovely vintage card. I have got these stamps but haven't had time to play with them yet.
Love Rosemarie xx
What a gorgeous stamp and lovely vintage look
Morning Sue, fabulous card and love how you've used the stamp 3 times. Emma
Like the idea, (but not that shape, I just find it ugly!).
Thank you, Sue

Another lovely card that can be changed to any colour that is preferred.

Thank you!!! Susan
Morning Sue!
More snow overnight, on top of the load from Friday that's still here

I Hope your weather is nicer Sue!
I'm not keen on the Angular shaped stamps and dies, even though I like the Violets , I love the Graphics papers designs though.

What a lovely elegant card, and very useful for all occasions. I haven't got this die but it is on my next list. i cannot wait to get my order of dies and folders from CHA.
Glad you are all enjoying the heat in USA it is -4 here.

Morning Sue. Like a lot of followers not sure about these stamps but I do like the papers and
colours you have used as you said se try things outside our comfort zone but it very difficult.
but will give it a go when I get home. Nancyd xx
Love the antique feel to this card and it could so easily be adapted for men. Your ideas never cease to amaze me! YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue
I really like this card - in fact I like the stamps in this colour better than the lavender one that you did last week.Lovely!
Hi Sue,
I like the design and layout but I think I would prefer to see some colour in the card, just a little too dark for me,
love from Jackie D
A very impressive card. The Graphic papers are wonderful to use for backgrounds and just a little bit goes a long way so they last ages. Another one to have a play with. xx
Hello Sue, Elegant in its simplicity. Graphic 45 papers are fab.The dies and stamps are very interestin, have not got them yet, not enough pennies at the moment.
Love everything about this card, thank you for your wonderful inspiration.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs June xxx
Hi Sue - This card I like, very vintage, very adaptable.
Val C xx
Oh Wow Sue love this card very classy and vintage looking xx hazel
Morning Sue, vintage card, but like some of the other ladies I can't get me
head round these dies, you know to me they look
like the labels from Ketchup bottles, is it just me,
anyway your ideas as always are stunning.
Take care, Jess
I loved this one when you showed it on C&C Sue, using the label three times looks really good and I nicked the idea to make a mans card using the going places aeroplane labels and a map for the background. I really love your papers and colour scheme for this one and I must say those labels look much better with the simple colouring than anything fussy! Thanks for the inspiration! Maddy x
Morning Sue, I really like this card. Its a very effective card. Hugs Sonia x
Good morning Sue
Lovely card - just need the stamps and off I go to create more cards thanks to your ideas!

Love the layout but I'm in the "don't like the die shape camp" thought it reminded of something, then read the ketchup label comment and that's it!!
No ketchup label die for me!!!

on first look I did'nt quite like this card.Not sure of the shape of this die.By the time I read your description it grew on me.Do like the papers used and the layout.Laura O
Morning Sue,
I can't say that I'm in love with this die but you certainly make it work. Love the layout and neutral colours though.
Erica x
Hi Sue. A very nice card for today. I am not sure about the colour combo though. I think it is all a bit too dark. I like the dies and patterns you have used and the lovely bow. I love vintage style cards. Thankyou for all your ideas and inspiration love Tres x x x
sorry sue. i dont know what it is about the shape of these 'things' .....they look cupcake shape or more like bun /cake shapes..yet somehow they dont light my candle as it were. doesnt do for everyone to like same items......your talent however is as usual top class.
Hi Sue
Nice to do a quick card when u need one. Like the flowers on this stamp. I just bought the lace stamp by justrite (yummy) so have to behave a bit as got the new dies coming C&C. Yes lots to look at in this card and nice textures too. Good job ,

Hi Sue, a lot of varied responses to this card I see :) I do like some of the elements but - like others - am not too keen on that shape. I would happily 'steal' your idea and use a different die!
Afternoon Sue

Hi Sue,
This is the first Spellbinder die that I'm not at all keen on - reminds me of an old-fashioned baker's loaf in a tin! That said the papers are great and I love the black/neutral theme. I'm sure this design would readily adapt.
Sue
Hi Sue
A lovely elegant card today-think the colours are great.
Lovely card again, Sue. How do you do it?
Hi Sue, May be plain and simple but very effective and elegant.
Love June

Lovely card Sue. Smiply beautiful!
Dont like the shape of the dies but the card idea is lovely will do this with other dies Jean Z xx
This is beautiful Sue x The papers & the stamp co-ordinate so well together. It is nice that the banner part of the stamp is left blank so you can put whatever sentiment in there that you want. Love the swirls, bow & stick pins too, they finish the card off beautifully xx Love Karen xx
Hello Sue,
I as others have said was not sure about these stamps. But looking out for ideas for male cards, on 10th Jan your blog you gave us 'Vintage Plane' I was sold, you also gave us a great mans card on 16th Jan a real WOW 'Distressed Vintage Card and Paved Pearls' The Violet set is part of this collection and the detail on all these stamps is just incredible.
Woops I will get off my soap box now!
Todays card is lovely and 'Thank you' three times over is a real statement, it gets thumbs up from me!
Love Brenda Lel x
Hey Sue
I thought ths wuld be a great card for my Dad, he loves flowers but al the cards with flowers on are girlie. THis is perfect for a man who loves his flowers but in a manly way.
Brilliant card

Good afternoon Sue, not sure about this card Sue, I like all the pretty ones you make,But its ideal for a man! Sandra xx
Very nice card
I love the striking look of this card Sue. Loved yesterday's too!! Unfortunately I couldn't afford the bumper bundle of dies this time (Christmas wiped out my funds!!!), and I had to choose between these lacy dies and the squares and the squares won this time, but I hope to purchase the lace ones later when I'm back in funds,as I think they are amazing!!Anne with an E

A beautiful card again. Where do you get your ideas?
I do like this card but then I love vintage and can understand some people thinking its too dark. We all have different tastes and it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing.
Looking forward to Sams shows with her Sherlock stamps!!!
