Hi Sue. Beautiful card but for some reason the video won't play properly on the laptop today, so as soon as I've written this I'm going to find a different gadget to watch it on. Have a fabulous time at the CHA, I'll bet it's an Aladdin's cave of crafty goodies.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Debra on your win. Hugs to all. Sue XXX
Beautiful card Sue, love the colours.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Another stunning card and great tutorial, thank you. I must remember to use my embossing powder on other elements of my cards, I tend to restrict it to just a stamped image, yet I can see from this design that it looks very good on frames and die cuts too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Debra.x
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today

Take care, Jess xxx
Love this card and it is classic Sue. Shows off all the dies to their full potential.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :)
ReplyDeleteGosh Sue, this is beautiful love the way you have done the background and what a great tip for the sentiment, one I will certainly be trying. Thank you for sharing, Such a beautiful card and as usual a great video.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Great video. Do you ever apply the ink to the inside of the embossing folder to achieve the inking step and the embossing/debossing at the same time? Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today....always thankful for videos....I'm such a visual learner.
Jan D., Florida, USA
Hi, Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card today! I love the fact that you've 'promoted' the sentiment into the focal point of the card...very pretty indeed. I'm looking forward to watching the video a bit later today. Have fun at the CHA :)

Lovely and awesome card today. I will have to wait until later today to view your video. Thank you for sharing your creations with us crafters.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis card is divine. You are a super-talented person, the way you use all the dies and embossing the sentiment is just a masterstroke! I shall certainly adopt that technique.
Have a great time at the CHA.
Hugs, Rose
That's beautiful and I love the effect of the heat embossing. I would never have thought of doing it on the background card like that. I learn something new every day from you Sue!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLoved watching your informative video, also what a beautiful card, just my favourite colour too.
Different techniques throughout, loved the heat embossing too. (Old favourite of mine, so must try and use it more often).
Love n hugs from Dorothy of Baldock
I will watch the video later Sue but the card is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWeefortune, I am so sorry for your loss.
Laine, I had a set of circle dies (not SW!) and have two presents on their way one of which could be more dies. All orders have arrived and I now have £20 Amazon credit plus more cash to spend. I am so lucky. I hope Darcy is better now. I do not envy you the task of getting cats into baskets.
Maria A, thank you I had a lovely but tiring day, I was too exhausted to go out in the evening.
Hazel T, I hope you had a wonderful 60 th.
Congratulations Debra.
Thanks to Frances, Theresa, Cheryl and Long Island Jan for my birthday wishes. I appreciate them all.
Wheely, thank you too. I hope the migraines continue to ease.
My head does not like me today but I have popped along to a friend's open house to look at the new Stamping up catalogue. It's very nice stuff but expensive and I would rather spend my money on Sue items. Made a pretty thank you card so that will be very useful. At least I can combine Christmas and Birthday :)
Going to chat to my Mum and the see if daughter wants to watch some tv. If not then I shall play with some goodies.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Hello Sue.

ReplyDeleteStunning card. I love your sentiment dies.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Debra.
What a great idea for making the sentiment pop!
ReplyDeleteA very lovely card Sue. I am looking forward to watching the video, as I have several new ones to catch up on. When I'm folding clothes I sit and watch Sue all morning, it makes laundry a chore to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteLove the Color and brilliant to heat-emboss the framing as well as sentiment for super lovely shine that makes this such a beauty! (I also like to off-set sentiments with extra layer in a darker tone to make it pop even more). Adding the extra layers always creates a great look of amazing dimension and I love that you've done that here. Fabulous way to use longer multi-ribbons too. So gorgeous. Another great Video!
