Hi guys! A taupe, black and milk creation for today. Back to the beautiful Filigree Delight die set for this one. I cut three of them with the centre oval inserted out of taupe card. I created a background out of milk card and my Basketweave embossing folder. I glued the top and bottom edges of two of the Filigree Delight die cuts to the background. The third one was turned in the opposite orientation. Using a piece of black and tan grosgrain ribbon, I threaded it across so it was woven through the open areas on the die cuts. I tucked the ends around the back of the card and secured them. I tied a double bow and added it with glue dots to the side of the card. I stamped my sentiment on milk card and cut it out with the oval in the Radiant Rectangles set. I used the smaller decorative die with it also. I cut the tag from the Filigree Delight set and nipped off the ends and added it to either side of my sentiment piece. I mounted it with foam across the centre of my three dies. I added a thin black mat before adding a double mat of taupe card with a pierced inner layer. A few flatback cream pearls to the corners and it was complete. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 10 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Lovely card today. I hope you had a good journey home and that the jet lag isn't too bad. Take care.
To come up with such daily stunning card designs makes me certain that you are amazing as well, Sue.
Beautiful card.It has all the elements of a Sue card that we Wilsonettes love. F A B XXXX
Welcome back, Sue, wonder what super stash you brought home with you.
Today's card so classy - without the bow great for a man card. With the bow, great for me!!

Welcome back Sue, I hope you journey home went smoothly. Today's card is fab. I have this die so I'll have a go at making it. Have a great day. Sally x
Welcome back Sue, a typical Sue Wilson creation today, love the buckle style and a great big bow! Love it XXX
Hi Sue,
Such a beautiful card and I would do this for a male who should be VERY grateful to receive it. I think it's the embossed background which counterbalances the filigree as well as the colours used.
But I'd also do it for females in a different colour scheme.
How DO you come up with all these ideas?
Hope you had an uneventful but pleasant journey back.
Hugs, Rose
Lovely card, I have this basket weave folder but haven't used it much, it looks very good on this card.hope you had a comfortable journey and have brought back lots of new ideas and goodies!
Welcome home sue
Love today's card I have all the dies for this one except the embossing folder will have to work round that one
Hi Sue
Lovely card ideal for males without the bow.
Hope your journey went well.
Happy crafting
Love Tina x
Like the card-have got the dies for once!So it means I can play with this one.Hope everything went well on the trip home and you get a good sleep to refresh.

Lovely card as usual, would be good for men too without many changes. Hope you had a good journey and are ready for the fray! We have missed you on C and C.
Marion xx
Just love this one (sorry I wasn't keen on yesterday's)
Good morning Sue,
Just wondering if you have a notepad at the side of your bed for when all your ideas that come to you in the middle of the night or do you just get up and try it while you remember? Either way you come up with some brilliant ideas using ONE die. I know the greeting die cut is from another set, but the main is just the one.....clever.
I love these A4 embossing folders that you have designed as it is wonderful to be able to get all your work embossed with no joining tell tale lines.
Hope you had a good journey back from the States and get well refreshed to be back on our screens soon. Some of us are having Sue Wilson withdrawal symptoms.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Hi Sue I love the card, I thought it could be a man's card! Hope you are ok and recovering from your flight. I am looking forward to seeing you on our screens shortly. Take Care Love Michelle S xxx

Hi Sue
Hope you had a good journey home. Today's card is lovely - very elegant. Glad you're back & looking forward to seeing you on tv soon.
Wow! Sue, I love all the textural layers on your card. It has a very rich & luxurious design.
Hi Sue like the card but would leave the big bow off.
hope you had a good flight back.
Marion H
morning Sue
I'm sorry to say not too sure about today's gift - I love the format and at first thought the back die was one whole piece until I started reading and looking closely. I really like the idea of the two dies side by side and the making of a buckle with the beautiful ribbon (I do love those particular ribbons).
It's the colour scheme that doesn't just ring the bell with me. I shall have a go at my version using different colours and see what happens.
Hope you are back home (UK side) and having a good sleep to ward off jet lag.
Janet x
Nice card easily adapted for the guys. Glad to have you back.
Hugs Sue x
Good morning dear friend,
I hope you are home safe and well, I am sure your body doesn't know if it's morning, noon or night !!
Today's card looks very familiar....I think I have that very one!
It's a good all round use card, could be for guys, gals and many occasions and the lovely ribbon is a perfect colour match!
Welcome home, can't wait to see you on TV next week, I hope they don't cut your shows like they dis Julia's yesterday!!! Very frustrating!
Huge hugs,
Sandra xx (Riley)
Hello Sue!

It truly is a 'delight' to see the different ways you portray these dies on your cards. Such a talented lady. The card is so pretty and as for the ribbon..... just love the colours. Hope you're not too jet lagged but have a good rest over the weekend. Hugs Pauline A x

Welcome home Sue. Love your card. It is so decadent. Hugs, Barbara x
Hi Sue welcome home. lovely card like the way the ribbon threads through. must try that one x
Hi Sue. I love the grosgrain ribbon and would never had thought of putting it on its side. I really think it suits the card. SueL
Welcome back Sue, hope you had a good journey. 'Stunning' doesn't begin to do this card justice, it is really classy and classic looking. I just love it. Pat x
Hi Sue. This is a lovely buckle card today !! I really love the colour scheme you have used. The basket weave background is great and the filigree delights look so Lacey and intricate. I love the radiant rectangle die centre and the colour of the ribbon I think is quite manly looking. I think you could get away with using some types of ribbon for a male card. I have used the blue and ivory stripped grosgrain ribbon on my Dads Father's Day card which has a nautical theme. The colours of the ribbon you have used are beautiful and the embellishments really finish this card beautifully. Happy crafting love Tres x x x
Hi Sue,
A beautiful card.
The striped ribbon goes so well with the basket weave embossing.
Veronique L
How lovely does that card look? I love what you have done with the three cut outs of the die, looks so delicate. Colors work well together too.
Hope you had a safe journey back?
Love & Hugs

Morning Sue, lovely card but my wish list is so growing.
Good Morning Sue,
Well you certainly are AMAZING!
Quite a subdued look to this one (apart from the bow, LOL). I think it's the combination of colours (British weather personified).
Welcome back! Hope the jet-lag doesn't kick too hard.

I love the filigree dies! Another gorgeous card Sue and a reminder again to do the buckle effect. Love the colours and along with the basket weave and the stripy ribbon it all matches perfectly.

Not to sure what that saying means though.....! xx Love Karen xx

Happy travels, hope the flight home went smooth. Love the card, masculine colours but easily changed if a feminine card is needed, tfs :)
And more stunning work here. You´ve really outdone yourself this week hun, that´s for sure. Don´t know, what´s happening, but I just got such an awesome message, when I tryed to enter your blog here, where I was asked to do some captcha´s because there ahd been unautorized entries from my IP adresse???? Not sure, what that´s about? And I´ve also just first got the last 3 entries from you in my reader right now, which I´m usually getting here in the morning every day, but don´t know if it´s yours or my system, that has some problems???
But have a great week-end now, I recon you are back home by now and enjoying to be here too.

Dear Sue
Sorry this post is late.
This is an amazing card, so stunning to look at and must be Huge in real life as I can't imagine a card 10 1/2 ins long by 7ins odd.
When I first as this card I couldn't work out how you had made the decoration in the middle and it didn't reall click until I as the dimensions of the card! It looks awesome with the three filigree delight die cuts in taupe with the grosgrain ribbon going through the middle.
All in all a wonderful card.
Best wishes and apologies again for posting late
