Border and Corner Frame Card
Hello there my crafty friends! Here's a video card showing how to use the border and corner die sets. They make beautiful frames and you can adjust the size of them to suit your needs.
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Gorgeous card, absolutely stunning. June good news about the knee, clean and free now. Good luck with physio today, hope it is not too arduous. Elaine, poor Andrew, it's awful that he is back in pain and with bloating again. I think it is a good idea to go to hospital to get it checked out. Tina, Peter certainly has a good appetite, mind you I could be tempted by roast beef dinner, scones jam and cream when made by someone else, always tastes better that way. Tracey, you sound much happier about work now, just take it easy to begin with, you will do it. Lorraine, good to hear you are feeling better and enjoyed your day at NEC. Sharon, hope you are feeling a bit better and that the leg has settled. Laine, hope the migraine has gone now. Wendy, happy to hear you have got a job even if temporary, it is a great start. Hugs to all buddies on blog, poorly missing and well.
Morning Sue. Very Art Deco, this has to be my favourite shade of blue if it's the aqua. I'm looking forward to watching your tutorial once Andy has gone out into the freezing ice cold morning to face the owls in the country park with the dog poor love. I do loath these cold months ahead. Looking at the photo I don't own this die set but getting inspiration from your tutorials are always a treat. Sending hugs as usual and hope you have a good day xx
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Damp here but Yellow weather warning for later!!!! Beautiful card today, love the Art Deco look and colours are lovely. Oh what you can do with borders and corners, so versatile. Pam - yes his appetite is certainly better, sleeping is still not brilliant still up and down in the night. DN day today then bloods on Friday and b12 injection. How time flies. June Smith - hope you physio goes well and your knee movement is improving. Love and crafty hugs to all. Tina T xxxx
Good morning Sue. Gorgeous card, love the Art Deco feel. I'm saving the video for tonight when I am awake enough to enjoy it! Wendy, congratulations on your new job. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Wonderful tutorial Sue. I'm mesmerized at how quickly you work although it's a duplicate of a 'trial' card if you see what I mean, I love to see you putting your samples together. I wonder how many videos you take in one session ! I have to thank CE for the mounting cushion its just so brilliant and wonderfully clean to work with. I use sooo much mounting foam that I still have to use the messy, gunky, cheap stuff for the majority of the card but it's great to use CE foam for the smaller areas that you want to raise up as it's so easy to cut to your needs, just wish there where more than two sheets in a pack ! Anyway Sue, the Madeline die will also be joining my wish list as after watching the tutorial I feel it would be another invaluable frame/tag I will use over and over. Thanks for the inspiration and beautiful sample this morning xxx
Great card, Sue, love the colours. The design is as ever inspired and do like all the elements to your frame for the sentiment. Brilliant video, thank you. Tracy, glad you seem happy to be back in the swing of things. Go girl! Wendy Pussycats - well done you, hope the new job turns out to be just what you need, even if temporary. It's dipping your foot into the new working world. Hugs to all especially poorly ones.
Hello Sue and all You have me looking at all of my corner and border sets now to see if they can be used in the same way as this beautiful card, will watch the video later, looks really interesting and I am sure you will make it nice and easy for us as usual. hugs Muriel x
Good Morning Sue Love this colour and I will need to watch the Video to take in all that you have used! Wendy, congratulations on your new job hope it goes well! Love Marg
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes What a gorgeous card love these pretty colour contrast and he dies Pam im slowly on the mend I keep getting set backs but hopefully getting there June hope your feeling a bit better and physio is going ok did you have a knee replacement like me? is the cold weather giving you problems as well? Love and healing hugs to all you that are poorly and in need Im thinking of you all. Love and hugs to all Sharon xxx

Morning Sue. This is a gorgeous card, very art deco in its finishing. The borders and corners are so versatile and i must look at my other sets to see if i can do the same with them.

Sharon,Sorry to hear you are having setbacks , hope your knee gets less painful soon . x
Andrew spent nearly all day at the Hospital , his consultant was so good and managed to squeeze him in between appointments, he agreed that the medication did not agree with him , so is faxing new medication details over to Andrews Doctor. Andrew has phoned the Doctors this morning to find out that they have had no fax from the Hospital ???? Looks like another busy day for Andrew then, tracing the missing fax ........
Morning Sue, what a great way to start the day with a great video showing us how to make a gorgeous card. Just love the colour combination. I was never quite sure about using black but after seeing all the beautiful cards you make using it you have converted me. Wendyx
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card sue x love how the borders and corners have been used to make this gorgeous frame x love the colours too , that little touch of black really makes it pop x thankyou sue for your inspiration x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx

Hi Sue & crafty friends just having a sneeky peek while I'm at work - naughty girl! so can't stay too long. Sorry didn't get to comment yesterday - beautiful card, so cheerful and summery and loved the crinkled flowers, reminded me of hollyhocks. Today's is gorgeous, beautiful colour scheme and again loving that pop of black. Will read everyone's comments later but for now sending love and hugs to all Blessings Deb C xx
Hi Sue. I fell in love with this die as soon as I saw it. There is just so much that can be done with it and the card that you have posted today really shows off the art deco qualities at their best.
Hi Sue, Beautiful card, love how you've used the dies. And thank you for the video, yet another excellent demo to show how we can achieve this. Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, sorry I am late today, been into town to have my hair cut and get a few bits of shopping, brrrr it is cold out. Now what a lovely card today, will watch the video later.
Off to Physio later today. The infection has all cleared up so that is a great thing to report, I have now been signed off by the SEPT team but if I have any issues I can always contact them again, they really were a super duper bunch of people.
Tina T hope all goes well with Peter today, fingers crossed.
Wendy, hope new job goes well x
Sharon I know what it like with knee pain, yes I had knee replaced on 13th October and oh boy the pain of it cannot be described, when did you have yours??. I have stopped taking the morphine of a morning just take it at night now, but it does help especially if the pain gets bad I take a couple of paracetamol and they work as an accelerant, I.e. they tell the morphine to just give me a little bit extra, I can almost feel it working straight away, I wish you a speedy recovery and hope the pain can be relieved soon x
Elaine, poor Andrew, I agree with Pam that it is a good idea to go to hospital to get it checked out, hugs xx
Tracey, you're sounding much happier about work now, excellent news.
Lorraine, good to hear you are feeling better and enjoyed your day at NEC.
Laine, hope the migraine has gone now.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue Beautiful design and as always a wonderful video to help
Tracey glad your first week went well but don't be in too big a rush to get back full time, take it slowly Wendy delighted you've got a new job, only temporary but who knows what it will lead to June and Sharon and your new knees, glad you're on the mend Hugs to all who are not too well
I saw this video when it came out on You Tube and loved the versatility shown for these dies. I also lived the ribbon treatment. Election Day here. I'll be on pins & needles all day. Stephanie K SC/USA
Such a gorgeous card. Varying the height of the corners and borders is such a nice effect. It's on the "must try that" list. Your die launch was beautiful and thank you for bringing out the leaf dies... My brothers wedding is an autumn wedding and the bride wants leaves in autumnal tones as part of the decorations. She's going to be over the moon when she sees them! I'll be gilding polishing sheets of paper and cutting leaves I think and those swirly leaf shapes- OMG!!!! They will be such useful dies for that and so many other things so I'm very happy indeed! The striplets will probably hop into the shopping basket at the same time lol. Big hugs, hope you're well. Big hugs, T x
I've not been able to read back I'm afraid. But I hope things are good.
Tracy, hope work's going well, big hugs x Tina & Peter, big hugs x Tina &. Mick, big hugs x Elaine & Andrew, big hugs x June, hope physio goes ok and hope the knee is well generally, big hugs x Wendy, congratulations on your new job, big hugs x Pam, Lynda, P, Maria, Theresa W, Marg, Myra, Lynda, Lorraine F, Laine, Princess Pixie, Pat L & Sarah, Norah and any one else I forgot to mention big hugs to you all and wags & woofs from Billy xxx
Billy is doing great. In his mind he's all better so trying to keep him well rested and not jumping up, bouncing on furniture etc is a hard job. Doggy brain games are the order of the day but also basic assistance. He started Friday, automatically picked up my phone when I dropped it and that was my clue that he's feeling good. I've let him pick stuff up, push close cupboards and doors and operate the washing machine switch. He's gone back to guarding me too when I'm about to black out. Vets tomorrow and then an x-ray in 2 weeks to check he hasn't bounced anything apart. As for Me and I its all still the same. He's had interviews but employers question why he wants a job that the interviewers deem "beneath" him. He has good reasons but even after giving them.... No luck :( we're going to speak to sister in law as she works in a college organising work placements etc. See if she'll look over the CV and covering letter as she'd have done all that much more recently than either of us! Me, no change. Head squiffy 5 to 6 days out of 7 and very tired. Finding this tiring and my eyes are saying that's enough! Have some Xmas knitting to do so a sleep then that later. Hospital Thursday after I got ",lost" in the system so I shall mention it and see if the can offer anything. Got to stay in a hotel Wednesday as it's an early one so littlest brother is Billy sitting. Hoping Billy will be so amazed at having his favourite boy back he'll forget we're not there.
I must go, I've missed you all as much as I miss being up the table crafting!!! Take care and stay wrapped up in this cold wind. I shall try visit tomorrow or even Thursday but if not soon as I can. Big hugs and best wishes to everyone. Happy crafting and I'll be back soon.
Hello Sue Just watched the video love all your ideas. Elaine I hope Andrew gets sorted today his GP really should be sorting this out can he change to someone else in the practise. Tracy it's lovely to hear last week went so well but don't rush it. Wendy it's great you have found work I hope you enjoy it and who knows the job may stretch until after Christmas.

Hi Sue, a lovely card and I don't mind this amount of black with the gorgeous aqua card in fact I think it highlights its beauty. Thanks for the tip for cutting the ends from the borders before adding corners, it's one of those things that are always obvious after someone has pointed it out to you :-)
Wheely - glad that you could make it today and that Billy is going from strength to strength.
Sue - hope you don't mind.......... Wheely - really good to see your comment. So wish things were better for you, but glad the faithful hound Billy is improving. Hope himself gets the job he deserves soon. Sending hugs for you all.
Hi Sue & everyone A beautiful card Sue very clever to use the borders & corners to make a frame must use mine more. Thank you Sue for the inspiration. Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xx
TRACY glad work is ok & your getting back in the swing of things Big Hug's take care. Xx

Today's card is beautiful and just the style I like, well one of them :) Wheely, so good to hear from you but I do wish things were brighter for you and yours x I hope Andrew managed to track down the fax and got his new meds sorted. Hugs to Elaine and Peter. Good to hear job is going ok Tracy, I hope you are soon up to the hours you would like. June, glad to hear the infection has gone. Pain free very soon too would be great. Well there were a few typos in my post yesterday due to the exhaustion I expect. Today's op went well but got a few after effects which should clear over the next couple of days. I had botox in my bladder, fingers crossed that helps with my symptoms. Hope to see you all soon xxx
Hi Sue, You are so clever, designing a corner die that is curved enabling it to make a stunning frame when used with the border die. Beautiful card. Regards Dorianne

Hi Sue and your crafty crew I have been trying to get on here for ages. Not a prob with your blog Sue It's me as yet again I am playing catch up But I am so glad I have made time to come here and see this beautiful card you have created I need to go watch your video yet I will make time for that in a bit as I need to sort out hubbies dressing on his hand Hugs to everyone that may need one Theresa G xxx
Hi Sue. Ooooh this card is just fantastic !!! I love it all. I fell in love with this entire collection and I was lucky enough to get all of the Indian Ocean collection for my Birthday !!! I love every single die set and I really must have a go at making this card. I do not have the Madeline dies but I am sure I could use one of the Indian Ocean dies to go in the centre instead. As always your video is fab Sue. So helpful. Thank you for your clear, easy to follow instructions. I love the Aqua, white and black colour combo to. The "pop" of black really brings the card to life. Thank you for sharing your fantastic card today. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
Lovely card Sue, love how you use both the border and the corners in a unique way. Love the choice of your color for the card as well. Thanks for the awesome idea as usual!
Lovely design, super video. I must look at my borders and tags differently. The black is not to my taste (yes, I know I'm in the minority on that)but perhaps I could try something like this with a dark blue. Wendy, well done on getting the job. Maybe it's only temporary but who knows what it may lead to. Elaine, hope Andrew's medication was sorted out without any more hassle. Take care everyone.
HI SUE GOT ME ROUTING THROUGH MY STASH TO SEE WHAT STRIPLETS I CAN MIX WITH WHICH CORNERS. I HAVE GOT LOADS. WONDER WAY TO USE THE DIES. I THINK ITS A TOUCH ART DECO SO HAVE A LOT OF STAMPS THAT WOULD GO WITH THAT DESIGN. WONDERFUL IDEAS YOU HAVE. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG X
Gorgeous card, absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteJune good news about the knee, clean and free now. Good luck with physio today, hope it is not too arduous.
Elaine, poor Andrew, it's awful that he is back in pain and with bloating again. I think it is a good idea to go to hospital to get it checked out.
Tina, Peter certainly has a good appetite, mind you I could be tempted by roast beef dinner, scones jam and cream when made by someone else, always tastes better that way.
Tracey, you sound much happier about work now, just take it easy to begin with, you will do it.
Lorraine, good to hear you are feeling better and enjoyed your day at NEC.
Sharon, hope you are feeling a bit better and that the leg has settled.
Laine, hope the migraine has gone now.

Sharon I know what it like with knee pain, yes I had knee replaced on 13th October and oh boy the pain of it cannot be described, when did you have yours??. I have stopped taking the morphine of a morning just take it at night now, but it does help especially if the pain gets bad I take a couple of paracetamol and they work as an accelerant, I.e. they tell the morphine to just give me a little bit extra, I can almost feel it working straight away, I wish you a speedy recovery and hope the pain can be relieved soon x
Elaine, poor Andrew, I agree with Pam that it is a good idea to go to hospital to get it checked out, hugs xx
Tracey, you're sounding much happier about work now, excellent news.
Lorraine, good to hear you are feeling better and enjoyed your day at NEC.
Laine, hope the migraine has gone now.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

I remember this one from the telly - what you can do with a corner die!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Beautiful card - love the colour combo :-) Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx

Love the raised corners and the way you did the bow is absolutely gorgeous!! A stunning card! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI saw this video when it came out on You Tube and loved the versatility shown for these dies. I also lived the ribbon treatment.

ReplyDeleteLove it.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card. Varying the height of the corners and borders is such a nice effect. It's on the "must try that" list. Your die launch was beautiful and thank you for bringing out the leaf dies... My brothers wedding is an autumn wedding and the bride wants leaves in autumnal tones as part of the decorations. She's going to be over the moon when she sees them! I'll be gilding polishing sheets of paper and cutting leaves I think and those swirly leaf shapes- OMG!!!! They will be such useful dies for that and so many other things so I'm very happy indeed! The striplets will probably hop into the shopping basket at the same time lol. Big hugs, hope you're well. Big hugs, T x
I've not been able to read back I'm afraid. But I hope things are good.
Tracy, hope work's going well, big hugs x
Tina & Peter, big hugs x
Tina &. Mick, big hugs x
Elaine & Andrew, big hugs x
June, hope physio goes ok and hope the knee is well generally, big hugs x
Wendy, congratulations on your new job, big hugs x

Billy is doing great. In his mind he's all better so trying to keep him well rested and not jumping up, bouncing on furniture etc is a hard job. Doggy brain games are the order of the day but also basic assistance. He started Friday, automatically picked up my phone when I dropped it and that was my clue that he's feeling good. I've let him pick stuff up, push close cupboards and doors and operate the washing machine switch. He's gone back to guarding me too when I'm about to black out. Vets tomorrow and then an x-ray in 2 weeks to check he hasn't bounced anything apart. As for Me and I its all still the same. He's had interviews but employers question why he wants a job that the interviewers deem "beneath" him. He has good reasons but even after giving them.... No luck :( we're going to speak to sister in law as she works in a college organising work placements etc. See if she'll look over the CV and covering letter as she'd have done all that much more recently than either of us! Me, no change. Head squiffy 5 to 6 days out of 7 and very tired. Finding this tiring and my eyes are saying that's enough! Have some Xmas knitting to do so a sleep then that later. Hospital Thursday after I got ",lost" in the system so I shall mention it and see if the can offer anything. Got to stay in a hotel Wednesday as it's an early one so littlest brother is Billy sitting. Hoping Billy will be so amazed at having his favourite boy back he'll forget we're not there.
I must go, I've missed you all as much as I miss being up the table crafting!!! Take care and stay wrapped up in this cold wind. I shall try visit tomorrow or even Thursday but if not soon as I can. Big hugs and best wishes to everyone. Happy crafting and I'll be back soon.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLove today's card using the borders and corners.
Hi Sue, a lovely card and I don't mind this amount of black with the gorgeous aqua card in fact I think it highlights its beauty. Thanks for the tip for cutting the ends from the borders before adding corners, it's one of those things that are always obvious after someone has pointed it out to you :-)
ReplyDeleteWheely - glad that you could make it today and that Billy is going from strength to strength.
Frances

Good to hear job is going ok Tracy, I hope you are soon up to the hours you would like.
June, glad to hear the infection has gone. Pain free very soon too would be great.
Well there were a few typos in my post yesterday due to the exhaustion I expect.
Today's op went well but got a few after effects which should clear over the next couple of days. I had botox in my bladder, fingers crossed that helps with my symptoms.
Hope to see you all soon xxx
Hi Sue, beautiful card beautiful colour!!!

Hugs to everyone that may need one

Hi Sue. Ooooh this card is just fantastic !!! I love it all. I fell in love with this entire collection and I was lucky enough to get all of the Indian Ocean collection for my Birthday !!! I love every single die set and I really must have a go at making this card. I do not have the Madeline dies but I am sure I could use one of the Indian Ocean dies to go in the centre instead. As always your video is fab Sue. So helpful. Thank you for your clear, easy to follow instructions. I love the Aqua, white and black colour combo to. The "pop" of black really brings the card to life. Thank you for sharing your fantastic card today. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteLots of love to everyone from Tres x x x
Lovely card Sue, love how you use both the border and the corners in a unique way. Love the choice of your color for the card as well. Thanks for the awesome idea as usual!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteI always DELIGHT in your colour combos and DELICATE layers!!!
Such a pretty card!! Love the color scheme. Very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteLovely design, super video. I must look at my borders and tags differently. The black is not to my taste (yes, I know I'm in the minority on that)but perhaps I could try something like this with a dark blue.
ReplyDeleteWendy, well done on getting the job. Maybe it's only temporary but who knows what it may lead to.
Elaine, hope Andrew's medication was sorted out without any more hassle.
Take care everyone.
Lovely card sue, big crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
