Hi crafters! I think I will stick to that greeting today as it is safer! LOL I guess I shouldn't rely on spell check to catch all my mistakes! The card I have picked for today is a different sort for me but it has a nice playfulness to it. I created my background by cutting an extended version of the
Basic Lattice die out of
coconut white card. Using the
Grand Squares, I cut a frame and used one of the dies in the size in between to simply emboss into the frame for an extra added detail to it. I mounted my frame on foam for dimension and mounted it over my lattice background piece. I cut a larger piece of white to sit behind the lattice too. I stamped several of the
floral bunting stamp from Justrite (Buntings and buttons stamp set) on to an assortment of pastel colours and white heat embossed them. Next I cut them out using the matching bunting die and I also cut two white ones. I cut the pastel buntings up so each flag was individual. I glued them on top of the white bunting strip to create a bunting with an assortment of colours. I glued a
flatback pearl between each flag to give them an elegant look. The two buntings were attached so they adorned the upper corner of my card. I stamped my sentiment on lavender card then stamped the
Vintage Labels three frame around it and heat embossed with white powder. I cut it out with the matching die and mounted it in the opposite corner. I tied a messy bow with
mauve seam binding and added a
lavender Dazzler as an accent. A double white pierced mat completed the card. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

A very happy looking card, its lovely.
Beautiful card! I really like the colours you chose and the flags are great.
Best wishes Silvia
Very pretty card sue, light and cheerful.
I just had to get the bunting die stamps when you first demonstrated them, they are such fun! love the pastel colours, giving the card a lovely feel
GM Sue - love the pastel feel to this - but I must be a bit odd as I am not a bunting fan - sorry about that. Don't know why, I just dont 'do' bunting! Although yours is the most appealing I've seen with the little pearls. Love the lattice though.

A very light hearted gift for this Saturday morning.
I'm with Clare above I don't do bunting but I know three or four 5/6year olds who would just love to receive a card like this with Happy Birthday on the bunting.
I also know a few 40/50year olds who would also love this in football colours so every die has its place.
Crafting for me this morning after a little flan cooking whilst it is still of a bearable temperature in the kitchen.

Good Morning Sue!
What a lovely delicate card!
Such sweet colours and the Lattice is so nice as a base.
I bought these Dies, but don't use them much, but seeing yours I will get them out....... they make a card so special!
Lovely colours too!

Sweet and very pretty, Sue, I'm one who loves bunting! Like the double emboss on the frame. Change the colours, bow, and suitable for just about anybody. Think will do a dark and grungy version of this for a man who ain't that easy to design for.
Thanks for inspiration.

Hi Sue
A very simple, fresh and pretty card. I'm not a fan of bunting, but I do actually like the way that you have used it here. A lovely baby card or little child's card but personally not a die I would use much.
Morning Sue, a fantastic card I love
lattice on a card but I must admit
I'm not a bunting fan but it looks
really good here I don't think it
would matter what you personally put on a card
you always make them look fantastic.

Hi Sue,
Norah said that we were going to let you off but I'm mystified as to what we should let you off for. Have looked at previous addresses and can't find a spelling mistake.....................
Well, you know we'd forgive you anything because of all the wonderful cards you show us, with detailled instructions!
This card is lovely for children and I know a few adults who'd love to receive something like that.
Clever imbossing - would never have thought of that.

Hi Sue,
This is a really pretty card, I did not go for the bunting dies or stamps as I did not think I would use them much but I have to say this is the best I have seen them used so far, love the colours and the pattern used on each stamp, they do really look effective used this way. I am sure they would look great being personalized too.
I Love, Love, Love the basic lattice background, Must add it to my wish list, hopefully its still available somewhere?
Sorry for the essay today lol!
Love & Hugs

Bunting seems so popular lately. I made real bunting for my sons 18th last year and every banner had a yearly photo of him on it. It was a real crafty project and turned out fab, just as this card has. Hugs Karen x

Hello Sue,
Bet u weren't expecting to hear from me, I know I haven't left any comment for quite sometime, so sorry for that, been dealing with some personal issues and i'm starting to snap out of it!
Your lovely cards does cheer me up each day though! Big Thanks for that:)
I received my DVD for your charity and have managed to see the first one hoping to view the rest soon.
Thank you for all that you do. I do appreciate you!
I am a little rusty in the card making dept maybe I could attend one of your creative demos if you're having one soon!
Stunning card as ever! Please do keep them coming!
Hugs & Kisses
