Hello all! I have a new concept to introduce to you here in this post. These are called Buckle Bars. There are two designs, the Delicate Filigree Buckle Bar and the Scalloped Lattice Buckle Bar. You need to cut two of them and one end will slip into the other end to create a pretty buckle. Cut four of them and make a stunning frame. As shown in this sample, they make a beautiful border on cards. I have other samples to show you several other ideas for them as well. A bit different, but oh so useful you will see. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this idea. Day four has come to a close, but there is still one more day full of dies for your approval. I hope you can join me at 6am for the start of our final blog launch day. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Another beautiful card. I wasnt sure what to make of these buckle bars when i first saw them but now i have seen the the card everything falls into place. They have a very delicate look about them but i think these little beauties are going to come in very handy indeed.
Best Wishes.

Hi Sue, I was very curious when I first saw the picture for these dies, but, I think it's a great idea, very versatile. Linda28.
Wasn't sure I wanted them when I first saw the die (by themselves), but now I have changed my mind. Makes a pretty card, and I can't wait to see how you use them.
Couldn't get my head around these when I first saw them but now, what a clever idea.
Another innovation.
Melody, warm wishes to you, Francis and all your family. I've been trying to catch up with some of the comments I've missed over the last couple of weeks and I'm so sorry to read how poorly Francis has been.
Take care everyone.
Wonderful card and I think the idea of borders is genial, they are so impressive and elegant!
oh my goodness these are wonderful dies ,so useful for a lot of things ,love them
Oh My word Sue - this launch just keeps on giving. Love these buckle dies! Can't wit to see what else you can do with them.

Wow love this card and the idea of the buckle die. Love, Ivy xx
Hi Sue
What a brilliant idea these buckle dies are! So clever. I read an earlier comment about them being fab for a gatefold die and I think they're right! The card shows off the mini gemini so well as well - that die really creates a look of lace. Best wishes Anne O (Epsom)
Hi Sue, These dies are so different I like them. love Jean Z xx
Hi Sue,
Well what can I say about these gorgeous dies? Only one thing, 'I want them'
Love 7 hugs

Really nice idea Sue, two gorgeous dies.
The card is stunning, I'm thinking these would look nice on a wrapped present.
Oh, I want these.
Greetje.
Wow, a brilliant idea - i expected the kind of buckle you slide over a ribbon but this closure is infinitely better. I can see these as belly bands keeping wedding invitations closed - yummy. They're on my Christmas list!
Thanks for all your innovation,
Kim from Kent.

Aren't these dies so pretty? For someone who likes clean cards I find this card so beautiful. Oh Sue, you're making my life so hard, how do I decide what dies to buy? Once I've decided that I the need to decide which to use first..... decision, decisions! But it's so nice having all this fun. :)

I love your new concept of Buckle Bars! The look is beautiful. I was a huge fan of ribbon slides back in the day so this reminds me of a contemporary remake of the ribbon slide but with much more versatility. I really love this idea and your card is gorgeous. I love the look of ruffled lace on this card too.
Love your dies and your cards!
What an interesting concept!!!!
They are so beautiful. I love this card and the buckle is so beautiful on it. Gives it such an awesome look, you have to look twice, and go,What is that die?
Wonderful, just wonderful!
When I first saw these I couldn't figure out what you had designed them for, but knew you had something awesome in mind.
And you did! They look awesome on the card, and I look forward to seeing what other creative ways you will be using them!
Beautiful cards--Thank you for sharing your creative inspirations.
What a great concept! The buckle bar looks great on your card.

The card is beautiful. There are so many ways these dies can be used. I pinned. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765610652045/
Wow! So brilliant!! The buckle bars are way cool!! I love the design of the card too! Cheers!
Wow, the buckle bar is a good idea. Nice finishing touch on card.
So nice.
Buckle Bars - I like the way the words sound together- "Buckle Bars"! Besides the sound, I also like how the buckle bars look on you card. I can see these bars being cut numerous times and layering up around and about one's card front. Interesting possiblilities.
Brilliant dies Sue. Pretty card too.
Love

Hello sure an everyone I thin this card is pretty an I put the dies on the list for nan but I was not sure what you did with them but I new they were going to be good. I couldn't do the blog yesterday I went to my friends after school to see her new kitten an I also got a new baby kitten an he is called sooty but nan calls him tippy toe an he goes running to her when she calls him that name. I was going to tell you that grandad was coming home tomorrow but he is already home now. Thank you Molly oxoxox
Awesome concept!! Definitely need to add these to my toolbox!! TFS!
Hi Sue.
This card is so beautiful, I love the belt, but what I love the most about this card, are the "laces", they are absolutely stunning.
Take care, Heidi.

These buckle bars are really cool, love your card.
On the first view i didn´t understand what the Buckle Bar dies are for.
But seeing how you used it on your amazing card I have to say it´s a new and wonderful idea to have an embellishment.
