Just For You

 Good Sunday morning all!  I hope you really enjoyed the latest die launch!  I just have been dying to show my new Noble dies to you as I think they are just so pretty.  You know how much I love to use large frames on cards and I think these have such pretty detail to them.  It has been hard not to spill the beans about them since I received the prototype dies several months ago!  Finally the time has arrived and I can show them off to my hearts content! LOL  Today's blog post showcases the Ornate Pierced Rectangle Noble die set.  I selected a black and white colour theme and started by cutting two of the Lavish Swirls Diagonals in coconut white card.  I glued them vertically to the edge of my white card background (see already another use for the Diagonal dies!)  Next I cut the Ornate Pierced Noble using the two cutting edges and the decorative insert to cut a pretty detailed frame.  I used the outside cutting edge to cut the backing in black card.  I glued it to the back of my frame and then reseated the inside edge die to cut the inside of the frame to match.  I added mounting foam to the back.  I embossed a piece of white card using the Rambling Blossoms folder and seated my frame over it and trimmed away the excess card from the edges.  I glued it in place in the centre of my background.  I cut a Refined Rectangle in white card and added it to the middle of my frame with mounting foam.  I stamped my sentiment (CR. Exp. Amazing Sentiments  clear stamp set) in black and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet.  Peeling back the paper, I coated it with Diamond Sprinkles and die cut it with the oval from the centre of the Classic Adorned Rectangle die set.  I matted it with a black mat and attached it in the centre of my frame.  I cut several of the Cornflowers and layered them up and put a small black Dazzler in the centres then attached them around my sentiment.  I completed the card with a pierced white mat, a thin black mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7" x  8 1/2" in size.

I still have shows on Create and Craft today scheduled at 11am, 2pm and 7pm.  I would just love it if you could join me!  All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue. Just watched you on C&C and loved your demos. Great dies and I'm so glad I managed to get the striplet dies earlier. Well done to Lancashire Steph for getting her email read out! xx Maggie (better without a bow)

SusanP, Kent said...

This is superb with your beautiful Cornflowers in white. The black Dazzler centres really stand out. Your Noble Dies are fantastic. I like the squares, but which one should I buy? By the time I've decided they'll have sold out, lol. I've enjoyed all of your shows that I've managed to watch (not so easy today with hubby dearest at home). I'm thinking you'll need a rest after today.

Hi Sue

The grand lables are a must have for me, no compromising! A lovely sample card too. Will save the notification email for when I get athe dies. Well done on the release of your third lot of your own dies and a great 2 days of tv demos and selling lots of dies in the process. You've had a busy few days and deserve a bit of a break to relax!

I am quite tired so will have a rest today. Wishing Wilsonettes everywhere a happy Sunday

Hi Sue
This is a lovely card. It really helps to see cards made from the New dies as they look so different when they are cut. Thank you for all your time and inspiration you give us. I have watched. Your shows but couldn't e mail in as internet only just started working. Love and hugs to all.

Gorgeous card Sue, and those little Cornflowers are adorable. These would be so cute on some of the western cowboy pages I do also. Sure wish you were on Create and Craft in the US.

Kath said...

All your dies are fabulous. If I was rich I would buy them all. It is difficult to choose which ones to buy. Love your cards too.

Thank you so much for showing us all your dies. I know they will all be successful.

Myra said...

Hi Sue,
I'm a little late today but had the family and just been clearing up! Yes! Someone has left something behind - why does that happen despite my best efforts!
Today's card is really beautiful and although I really wanted the squares more the rectangles are gorgeous too. I just love those little flowers and it was great to have a super close up photo of them today.
Sorry not been able to watch today's shows live but they have been recorded and they are my treat for later!
Not sure if the 7pm show will still be on - but I'll check and add my email !
Thank you so much Sue for a great week , topped off by a super weekend! Have a rest tonight and reflect on a task well done with loads of happy bloggers and customers!
Take care , my friend,
Lots of love
Myra xxx

Loving the card and these dies are now totally at the top of my wish list. I like big cards and these dies are something really special to make a real impact. Don't know how long i'll be able to hold off buying these! Oh well, looks like i'll have to treat myself....Sarah

liz spooner said...

A lovely card, Sue. Great to see you again on C and C. Loved the demos. Waqs playing with my new Greek dies today, wonderful. xx

Saba said...

Good evening Sue,
What a stunning card. I love white on white, and with that little extra black detail I love it even more. Those cornflowers are fabulous and will be my first purchase from your new collection,
Congratulations on the success of this new collection, if the comments are anything to go on everyone loves them.
Thank you for all your hard work, designing the dies, your exacting standards for the prototypes, and then producing so many exquisite samples with which to showcase them.
It is so generous of you to give away some of your babies, and everyone who blogs here is truly grateful for your kindness.
Haven't been able to see today's shows, but hoping to catch the 7pm one ( if it's still on)
Take good care of yourself Sue and make. Sure you have that well earned rest.

Love and hugs to all,

Special congratulations Sandra on your WOW card, it was brilliant that a few of us had our emails read out and fantastic that you were pulled out of the pot.

Saba

Kathy Krug said...

Littlelamb said...

Well still deciding what to buy. So difficult and even when I decide I won't be able to try them out until this cast is off my wrist. Really enjoyed today's shows. Look forward to the next ones in a couple of weeks.

Tina said...

Hi Sue

Absolutely fabulous card.

your shows today have frustratingly good. I just so wish, as nice as J J is I wish she wouldn't gush so much. You should have given her more than piercing to do so you could have done more demo's. I missed the 7 0'clock show as I was in A&E with my other half. He took a fall on a walk and dislocated his shoulder.

Will try and catch up with the last show.

kind regards :-)

Sandy H said...

Congratulations Sue on the launch of the new dies and on a very successful Weekender. Sell-outs all over the place. Thanks for a fabulous week. You must be exhausted but hopefully you can have a bit of a rest this week with just the blog to do!!! I've still got a couple of recordings to catch up on but I've picked up loads of tips from the shows I have seen. Nice to hear a few familiar names read out.

Gorgeous card today. We are in for some treats over the coming weeks with all your samples using the new dies.

Take care everyone.

The card is amazing today, but would just like to say how much I have enjoyed your shows, caught most of them, by watching catch up on my I pad on the create and craft app, they were great and so many tips to remember. Absolutely fabulous sample cards made for the show and hopefully some great video tutorials to follow. Will be placing my order when I get home at week-end, Linda
