This card takes me back to when my sons used to do engraving art but your way is so much easier and quicker lol. Since you demonstrated the ribbon technique on your DVD I'm always using it even in home deco. The video was great as usual thank you.

Hi Sue
Stunning Card I so Love the Colours, Fabulous Video as always! I Love all the different techniques used in today's Card "The Fabulous Engraving Art Card" that I have a pack of, it looks Fabulous once you have sanded it to show The Silver Core, I Loved how you used The Radiant Rectangle Spellbinder, to make your Frame and place Silver behind it, I always enjoy watching when you Emboss using Spellbinders as I could never get this correct until you talked us through it, mine used to cut through!! Spectacular Ribbon Technique and I Loved the Bow and Stick Pins to finish off, another Very Opulent, Awesome and very Exquisite Card.
Love and hugs from Sam x
Have a great day all!!
Good Morning Sue,

Happy crafting

Morning Sue, Another fabulous video, another fabulous card, I'm loving the plaited ribbon tutorial and it so enhances the card, also the art board with the silver core looks stunning.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
morning Sue
So good to be back with all of you.
Today's gift is just a wonderful creation. With new techniques and old makes a wonderful gift.
When I was a child we used to have this board but it was called 'scraper board' and I used to find it a magic board to use. I'm sure many Wilsonettes can remember it too.
Janet x
Morning Sue, Black and white, always a winner, thank you for great video.

Nice card Sue of to watch the video X
Hello Sue
I am so pleased to see you are using the Ribbon. I have tried to plait it but will try today with your video, and I WILL MASTER IT!
Take care
Sue,
Love Marg
Great card Sue, just watched the video and love demo on the plaited ribbon. Thanks for tips on the embossing art.
Wow Sue can't wait to try this ribbon technique, will look forward to doing this card this afternoon
Love the engraving card technique It reminds me of a time when at school we used something similar called Lino board (I think It was 50 odd years ago) and we scratched into it You used the technique in another card and I bought some of the board The pack you showed looks a lot bigger than my A5 pack so am now going of to Joanna Sheen to buy Later I'm going to have a go at the ribbon technique too!
Hi Sue,
WOW - E-X-Q-U-I-S-I-T-E. This card is so beautiful - wish I could grasp how you do this fantastic ribbon technique. Have watched you explain it a few times, but it hasn't sunk in yet. But I shall master it yet, of that I'm sure.
I'll watch the video a bit later, just wanted to leave my comment on seeing this card.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue
Stunning card

Hi Sue,
Great card, love the plaited ribbon border. I like to use the rainbow scraper card for my backgrounds. (4 x A5 sheets for £1 at pound world).
Donna Jones
Good morning Sue - well what a morning a video and a card made with my favourite colours. Thank you I love this card and today I am making a card for my niece so guess what she will be getting. Thank you for your inspiration. Helen xx

Have a great day.

Wow, gorgeous love these colours and that ribbon is precious!
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Well another dreich day in Costa de Glenochil but the Ochils have decided to keep a low profile today.
Oh Sue, i remember when you did this technique and being a total crafter from any age at all (mum didn't believe in knowing how to do something and not pass it on. Why have a dog and bark yourself is her motto) any way this is one of the first crafts i learned to do as i was the one in the corner with the colouring book and pens or pencils, so this was a natural progression. I still have these on my wanted list but like Steph, things are a real treat. I love this ribbon technique its just the fingers don't or won't cooperate, but i'll get it yet. The ribbon that you have used is beautiful being two-toned, showing off its other side to it's best advantage.
Tandy flower, show your grandchildren the beautiful things that their mum didn't get to teach them. With going back to your crafting your are showing them fun, happiness (cos it doesn't matter if it doesn't turn out right
)it gives them an outlet for frustration,but most of all your teaching them good life skills that will see them through their lives. it also is very satisfying to see a youngster or any age completing something that they couldn't before. Their mum couldn't have left them in any better hands than yours.
Debs i am so sorry to hear that your beloved son is in hospital, i hope he is better very, very soon. the best thing about Sue's blog is we get to see beautiful creations like today being made and we have found a whole lot of new friends, who i for one are so grateful to each and everyone of you.
Good morning Steph, i think you and i had a rogue batch of the gliding flakes and glue as mine just wont do anything i want it too either. They go everywhere bar where they should be, on the card. I think this will be a long running battle which we will conquer. You give your lot a good talking to and so will i. we will not take or stand for anymore of their nonsense and disobedience. Hope you are on the road to mend after all the tests and seeing the vampires yesterday, take care flower.
See you all tomorrow hopefully,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Can i pass on a tip for anyone who like me it goes Ops there's an error and you think it hasn't stored your comment and more often than not it hasn't. Once iv'd finished typing i highlight it all from the very end to the start and copy, so that if i get one of these times, i don't need to retype, i just paste in the comment again after checking at the bottom that it hasn't entered. Hope this makes sense,
bye
Norah
Morning Sue, love this card it is so classy. I have this embossing folder and use it a lot. Take care, Jess xx

Hi Sue
I think this black and white card is stunning. Haven't time to watch the video this morning but will do so later. Hi Steph hope your feeling better today. Hugs to Tandy and Debs, keep you chins up. Not literally just using the plural as you might not have 2 chins like me. Thanks for the tip Norah something so simple but why don't think of these things. I copy and paste all the time.
Such an awesome card, and really great for a male too, which is awesome.
Good morning Sue
Stunning, absolutely beautiful, love it, especially as I have all the 'ingredients' to make this card, so the credit card is relieved!

Morning Sue,
Another great video and such an exquisite card. The engraving board is on my wish list too.
Love Sheila xx
Fabulous card Sue why haven't I got this embossing folder in my collection as I keep admiring it? will watch the video later can't wait lol.
MaggieH
Hi Sue. WOW !! As always Sue, a fab video with lots of fab ideas and techniques. This is such a gorgeous card today !! It is funny because I have just finished making two cards for two men using my beloved radiant rectangle dies !! I used your sea garden background folder using soft gold card and went over the top with some cast bronze and then some enchanted gold gilding waxes. I loved the results !!
Your card today is just superb. I love the embossed black layer in the middle of the frame you created. I will definately be having go at that one. I really loved how you made the outside frame, backed it with silver card then used the next die size down to cut it out perfectly !! Such a simple, easy idea to do but as usual I would never have thought of doing that !! I will definately be pinching that idea to !! I loved you ribbon technique to but it is still to much for my brain to learn !! I have some engraving board so I will be trying your background out to.
Thank you Sue for more fab inspiration. Lots of love to Sue and everyone Love Tres x x x
Just to say Debs and Tandy I am thinking of you both. wishing you both lots of love and best wishes from Tres x x x
Hi Sue, another stunner on black and white. I absolutely love your plaited ribbon and must once again thank you for all your techniques you so willingly demo and especially the videos which are of immense value.

A lot going on in the card today, but still lovely.
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very elegant in the black, white and silver. I love the dies and the embossed metalic board.
This is a beautiful card but your video is simply stunning, I know a lot of people who don't realise that you can emboss with dies so that was great. Your tutorials are always so clear and very informative, brilliant I would say. Have a good day.

Hello Sue, well I would never have guessed how you put the silver layer into the border, I love the overall effect of this card.Thank you for showing in person how to make the platted ribbon, I have done it in a class but when I tried it at home it didn't work.Thanks for all the work you do on our behalf.
X Ros
stunning card today. I'll check out the video when i get home. Hugs Sonia x
hi Sue, and yes I'd love to receive a card like this. The way you did the frame is so obvious when you are told, we just don't think of these things when we do them!! so thank you for that idea. Must get some of the card for the engraved panel and practice the plaited ribbon. Love from Jackie D
I was given some of the engraving board for my birthday (boxing day!)so I can't wait to give it a go. It looks really good with your basket weave folder which I have, so I'm going to attempt this card having been inspired by your video. I do love being able to see how you do something, so the videos are a great hit with me! Love Sarah
Hi Sue,
What a stunning combination of silver, white and black. Can't wait to find the time to watch the video to see how to achieve this masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing.
Beverley W
Love all the detailing, and the look, so elegant. Great job!
I just turned C&C on and was disappointed to see that Julias show has been cancelled. I wonder why..
Waited until I had time to watch video before commenting, Sue, and it's huge thanks for another great one. Think I may even get into the rhythm with the ribbon after such a clear demo - also will def be trying engraving board - thanks Donna for the info re Poundworld - if it's a no go with the technique, at least it'll be a cheap one!! This card 'grew' on me whilst watching, after being totally spoilt with the recent really ornate ones.
'P' in Wales
Hugs to all those having a difficult time - including all who cannot share their troubles.
Sue this is stunning! I've used the gold engraving board with your Basketweave folder and gives a great effect, especially for the difficult male cards.
The plaited ribbon on this card is gorgeous. x
Hi Sue,
Lovely card.great video and just needed to be reminded you can emboss dies without cutting!
I love that look on the black card.
Thanks so much for the videos Sue,

P.s.janet -I remember the scraper board!

I've never tried the plaited ribbon technique and even though I've seen you do so many times, I don't think I'm capable! But it's a stunning technique and you've used it here again so beautifully. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue
A beautiful card. Black and silver are stunning. Another great video - how many tips can one video give? This one had a few! thank you. Just need a couple of hours to try them out. The weekend beckons.

Fantastic card today Sue, love the ribbon weaving and the colours are just great.
Craftihappines to all, love from Pearl
Hi Sue
Thank you for another wonderful Video full of tips and Techniques. I remember watching you with your Plaited ribbon Technique at the Papeterie last year and thinking OH NO she has taken it all out until you said that it was that easy to do again. Which for me took a good few tries to get it right. But thanks to buying your Video of the day and watching you over and over i finally managed to get the Plaited Ribbon done correctly.
As always your card is stunning Sue.
Take care
Hazel G x
Fantastic video Sue, really makes me want to go and make this card!!!
What a magnificent, brilliant concoction - your genius certainly shines through in this one Sue. Thank you also for a wonderful video, the only technique I'm not tempted to try is the plaited ribbon and NOT just because of my frugal nature! :)
Mary Mac
Hi Sue, fantastic card haven't had time to watch video today will watch tomorrow . Looks lovely thanks for all the tips and techniques .
Hugs

Sue loving your work its so beautiful works of art x
Beautiful card - love the effect of the embossing folder with engraving board and your gorgeous plaited ribbon.
Hi Sue
Delayed comment...
Beautiful card, will try and find a Pound shop as having difficulty getting the blank engraving boards.
A must try for a mans card - which I am about to do this weekend.
Watched Julia's 9am show on C&C via the video, as I was poised to watch the 4pm show and then saw Julia's blog that it had been cancelled, because of a sell out!
There's a surprise. I received my stamps and dies, so got busy cutting - ready to put together some sort of masterpiece.
Love the video, have tried a small ribbon and pretty good for the first try.
Bye for now
Sheila x
Simply stunning, love the effect of the craft card and the ribbon plaiting technique is beautiful, you are such a fabulous inspiration Sue.
Absolutely stunning card and love the plaited ribbon. Can't wait to give it a go, thanks
Excellent video and love the card, especially the plaiting technique, can't wait to give it a go, thank you
