Gate Border Card
Hi there my crafty friends! I just love it when I can use parts of dies for something completely different than their intended use! Today's card is just that kind of card. When can a gate be a border, watch and see!
Beautiful card Sue, it's lovely. The sentiment is for you.
ReplyDeleteTheresa G thank you for your lovely kind words and everyone who has commented. I'm hoping that the imminent arrival of the baby due today will help my cousins widow focus on a happier event and take away some of the pain of his loss. They were my eldest daughters godparents.
Tina, so sad to hear of Micks ongoing problems, hope they can help him soon.
Elaine, I do hope Andrew and his wife managed their little drive yesterday.
Thinking of Tracey and family and all missing friends.
Gorgeous

Good morning Sue. A very elegant card, love gold and black. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
ReplyDeleteElegant card for today the video will have to wait until later
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and great video Thank you.
You are the sentiment.
Have fun and take care Kitty.
Love this combo! Elegant!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a very elegant and opulent card, love the colour combo. Great video, and a great way to use a die differently. have a great day. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteA lovely card. I especially like the embossed lines at the bottom and the gold border. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs.
Morning Sue. Today's sentiment is returned back to you for what you do for us in every possible way. If we, your friends and 'students' had any say, you would also be awarded with an MBE !
ReplyDeleteNow onto this stunning card. It's so dramatic looking, so regal. I just love the colour scheme. I think it's just amazing that changing something so simple as the colour, your dies take on such a different look. As for using one die and doing something totally different other than what you originally designed it for no longer surprises me !! I can imagin you sitting at your craft table or sitting watching t.v and a hundred or so ideas come flooding through after drawing just one intricut shape, and that's why we all love your dies,because unlike the others on the market your collections have more than just one use, which we have been fortunate to see many times on fb pages and CE blogs. I will watch the video a little later but in the meantime I send my hugs and wish for you a good productive craft day xx
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love how you have used the dies. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, my phone is not playing nice tried 3 times to watch video but kept stopping and turning off after a minute so might try later on daughters tablet
Not a bad day yesterday I made a lasagne and he enjoyed some wants spag bol next, off shopping later with a long list I have to get low calories for me and full fat things for him so shopping bill has gone up but well worth it,
happy crafting
Love and hugs to all
Love Tina xxxx
Really elegant card, Sue, love the colours and the layout, especially your chopped gate border. Great video as ever, thank you.
ReplyDeleteFinally succumbed and the poppies are on their way! Unlike Laine, will be using them ha ha. Glad you're back sparring, L & Y, but can't be doing with all this talk of CAKES. Seriously deprived. Y - how is the son situation?
Tina, oh my what an awful thing to have to hope for - just wish Mick's problems were easier to deal with. Been there with Mr P on cancer (diagnosed) and neuropathy. Bad enough... but nothing like you are going through.
Hugs to all - especially Maria, Wheely, Lorraine F, Elaine and Mick and of course Tracy.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card so elegant , i will watch the video later with my cuppa .
,,,, Pam Andrew had a nice ride out yesterday thank you , they even managed a little walk in the shopping arcade as they have plenty of benches for sitting dotted around , the plan was for them to visit me on the way back however he was too tired .
The plan today is they are driving out to have coffee with a friend and calling on me before they meet up , then he has the Consultants meeting late afternoon .
Take care everyone

Awesome creativeness using part of a die to make it look so different it is almost impossible to tell from which die the new design came. Thank you for the video and educating us Wilsonettes on how to get the most value from your die sets by reinventing the bits and pieces. You always seem to impress me with your techniques.
ReplyDeleteSo elegant!! Love how you did this!
ReplyDeleteSuch an elegant card. This colour combination is so striking.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to come up with different things to say each day about your beautiful creations! It is very very rare occurrence that I don't like a card you have created! I love this one too! I love the use of that little strip - it makes all the difference to the card. Luscious colours too!
Thank you, once again!
Love to everyone who is trying to cope in difficult circumstances!
Hope the baby arrives soon Pam! He/ she will lift everyone's spirits.
Love Myra x

Very nice :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue. Very interesting how the border was part of the arbor die. We must think outside of the box! X
ReplyDeleteWow Sue what a striking card and also one that could be used for the men in our lives.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Lovely design. I'm imagining this as brown and gold since I'm not keen on black cards. Clever border. Amazing how using dark card and covering the centre of the Brussels die changes the look completely. I've been using the Brussels die with snow white card today.
ReplyDeleteMy Snowflake Gemini prize arrived today and I am so looking forward to playing with it tomorrow. (I had to put it out of sight while I made a birthday card with the Brussels die as my friend might not have appreciated a snowflake in July!)
Take care everyone.
Such a striking card. I just love the colour scheme.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card like the colours very much .
I will be able to get down to making my cards after a very stressful few weeks , having had biopsy's done had results yesterday have to have a little more taken to put me in the safety zone then mammograms done every 18 months . The cancer is low grade so all is well .
Take care.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust watched the video of this stunning card,thank you for such good idea's ,
Best wishes to Jane,
Thank you
