On Your Special Day

Hi my crafty friends!  Think navy blue not black here for this one.  I used my Cascading Hearts folder to emboss the white background.  Then I used my Heart Lattice folder to create a wide border to go down the side.  At each lattice cross there is a tiny heart, but I have added a pearl there to accentuate the lattice pattern.  I used the Adorning Squares to cut the decorative navy frame for my focal element.  For this, I lined up the largest four dies in the set and this is what you get. I cut another using just the largest and the inside frame die out of white card so I was able to glue a white backing piece on my frame.   I placed mounting foam on the back to raise the frame.  I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in silver.  I cut it out with the smaller die in the set and recessed it down in the centre of my frame.  I used a length of the sheer ribbon that is navy on one side and silver on the other side to tie a double bow.  I added a Tim Holtz embellishment to the centre of it and used two pearl stick pins as accents.  I matted the piece with a thin mat of navy blue before adding my double white mats that I pierced the edges on the inner mat.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  I think it would make a lovely wedding card, they don't always have to be all white, now do they!  All for now, Sue x

What a wonderful wedding card, I love your embossing folders so glad I bought early. Shame they went so quick as I was looking forward to demos with them. Please bring us some more! I loved all your amazing and inspiring demos.
You must be exhausted so have a good sleep and rest before ally pally this weekend. You work so hard. I wish your cards had more airtime but hopefully they'll be on your blog. Please put lots of ones with your folders on.
Best wishes from katielou sweetlove

Tried very hard to buy your embossing folders last night. they kept saying that they were limited stock and the website and the phone line kept telling me they were sold out. Very frustrating! They look wonderful - hopefully will be able to aquire them in the future. Still catching up on the shows from today as I had to record most of them. Wonderful samples as ever. X

Hello Sue

What a fantastic card - fantastic wedding or anniversary card that could be done in lots of colours to match the occasion.

I've managed to catch a few of your shows - fantastic samples - you must have been very busy.

Made my first 'buckle' card today and very happy with the way it turned out.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Just loving all your new samples from the dies you've had on C&C last night! I had said I'd be good this time as I have so much Spellbinders already, but I loved the border dies, so I had to have a set. I went for the first bundle as I liked that one of them had a little heart in the pattern. I also liked how you'd used the squares on this sample. My other purchase would most certainly of been the embossing folders. Please please please get them in again soon? I love using the A4 size boards I already have & cutting down to the size I want as apposed to settling for what fits the folder. The wax & embossing looked so good too :-). I'd of got more things like the wax, card stock, gold flakes & new sized beads, but I'm away next week & need my pennies for that. I had to make a wish list this time... Claire x
