Diagonal Tri Gemini Border Card
Hi crafters! The triple Gemini dies give you so many options for adding beautiful elements to your cards and projects. Today's video shows you how to add a diagonal border using the Cepheus Triple Gemini die set.
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Stunning card, lovely details. June, how good are you, I can see your halo shining from here . Glad you are feeling more like your old self, or even better. Elaine, hope Andrew is doing well after marathon treatment, my grandson was impressed with his letter from Moutinho. Heather, how are you doing after the pleurisy. Tina, hope Peters review went well, any news on the leg problem. Lynda, his are you progressing, if you are not resting you will be in bother. Sharon and daughter, hope you both are feeling better. Tracey, I think you are doing so well but you must be tired, try to rest when you can. You should have regular little breaks. My cough will never get better, the damage to my lungs was too much after 2 pneumonia bouts within a year but I manage okay, I'm a tough Colliery lass as my dad used to say. Hugs to all, it's very cold this morning.
Hi Sue What an attractive design this technique gives, love it. I have had no paper crafting for two week oh how my fingers are itching!!! Heather R Oxfordshire
Morning Sue. A bright spring like flower to start our day is always a reason to say "thank you" especially when it's a very cold very frosty windscreen scraping morning ! Which after an awful night with migrain poor Andy has just had to face - if only I could be of some use and help for him poor chap. I can see a beautiful lace fan shaped lace spread over a beautiful blue table cloth edged with a gorgeous flower on today's sample its such a pretty card - the sentiment comes straight back to you of course for brightening our day and for all you do to inspire us. I have to venture out to collect my new car today and it's not something I'm relishing, I'd much rather stay in the warm where I need to be, so I shall asking my salesman to hear the car up while the paperwork is being done before he has to go through all the inside of the car shpeil they have to do or they'll be picking my fingers up off the forecourt lol. So take this hug although it's not warmed up too much yet, and take it through your day which I hope is a nice one for you. Didn't John do a grand job showing your Summer collection, ahhh, summer 🌞 xxx
Morning Sue and crafters all, Lovely card today, what a pretty die this is. Pam - sosorry your cough will not get better, definitely a candidate for a lung transplant. June Smith - glad you are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel! Well what a debacle Peter's GP appointment was. When we got in the GP said thought we were doing Home Visits!!!! When I said we had been telephoned to come in for a review! He then produced a document file with a letter in it, asking him to be reviewed after his radiotherapy and to his future care - this letter was dated September 2015. So no further on, hospital appointment at 9:30 am so let's hope for some news there. He was sick a few times yesterday - Peter said it was acid!!!! Love and crafty hugs to all, Tina T xxxx
Good morning Sue. A very striking card. I love the strong blue colour and the embellishment cluster is gorgeous. I look forward to watching the video when I get in from work tonight.x
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I am looking forward to watching the video later with a nice cup of tea when I get back from work. I also need to make another sympathy card. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hello Sue and all the diagonal lace look on this card is fabulous, love the colors too. Thank you Sue too, , will watch the video later. Still working on special Christmas cards, finished another yesterday, 5 to go, so glad for your inspiration Sue hugs Muriel x
Hi Sue. What a very striking card for today's post. Love the colours you have used and the dies are so pretty. At first I wasn't sure about the gemini die being used at an angler, but actually it is balanced perfectly with the addition of the bow.
Gorgeous card, Sue, love your use of the gemini for the diagonal piece and the touch of bling with the ebony ice and the beautiful iced poppies. Just lovely. Thanks as ever for the video. Pleased to see a matching top - again! Tina - poor Peter - it really is a disgrace with this constant series of failures. PP and Laine - howdy! Good to see you both. Laine in fine form but not PP, all this socialising tut tut with a ticking off to come! Laine, Livvie has been paired up with Tacker new boy, Neenah and Pippin together so two pairs. No, not met main gang yet - still hoping for good homes ha ha!! Keep sitting on those hands re buying dies - BTW how's Mum? Fluffycat, how's your husband doing, hope for your sake brilliantly? Are you still getting visits from Jay ex-Pippin? Hugs to all.
Good morning Sue and all your crafty crew Well I again love the card today it is very unusual Love the design and the colour combo Just everything about it Not watched the video yet that's a treat for later as I have an appointment this morning Sending healing prayers and hugs to those that need one not sure of everyone's circumstances but June you keep going in the direction you are going and you will be dancing for Christmas well done mate Right I'm going to get in the shower Take care Theresa G xx

Hi Sue, and "thank you" for sharing how to make this beautiful card. I love all your Gemini cards, but the triple ones give us even more chances to shine........... Hugs, Rose
..and Thank You for showing us yet another way to use the Cepheus die set, love those lacy fan shapes set diagonally across the bottom, gives the card plenty of interest even before you look at the focal point/flowers/ribbon etc...
Good Morning, Sue I love the design of this beautiful card. The Gemini dies are such beautiful designs! Very cold and frosty here in West Sussex but the sun is shining so it is lovely and bright. I don't like the cold but my Michelin Man coat will keep me warm!!!! Lesley S x

Tina, how awful for you and Peter, I know drs. are very busy but surely someone on the admin side should have spotted this when they phone you. Hope all goes well this morning xx
Elaine, hope Andrew is feeling a bit better this morning, it must get him down at times.
Thinking of everyone who is poorly or having difficulties, especially Heather, Lynda, Sharon and your daughter, (are you feeling any better today?), Tracey, Theresa and anyone I have forgotten.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue Gorgeous. Not had chance to watch the video yet. I am sure this is not the first time I have seen this card. I think it may have been on display at Ally Pally and I thought it was even more stunning 'in the flesh'. Your continuing inspiration and generous sharing of such beautiful ideas is just amazing Sue. Thank you so much x Just a quick one today. Just getting sorted for an appointment x Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone specially my blog besties x Take care Crafty hugs PP Yvonne x
Hi Sue The card looks lovely, but I haven't seen the video yet, I had a cateract removed from one of my eyes last week and am struggling with focus at the moment. Will have to catch up on all the videos at a later date. Margaret xx
Hi sue, beautiful card today, it's so pretty. sorry not commented due to illness, back now, I've look back on all your cards and I loved the hugs one the one with just I hugs lol See you tomorrow I hope. Big crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
Hi Sue, a beautiful and very clever card. The Gemini dies are so adaptable and I like Steph's impression of lace spread over a blue tablecloth. I am usually very good with glitter and CE sparkles but I do get into bother with the ebony ice. Despite copious amounts of anti-static wiping of all surfaces (including me!), on the few occasions that I have used it I have still managed to cover everything in sight lol any tips gratefully received.
'P' - thanks for asking, not much change for my husband at the moment but the physiotherapist came back this morning with an exercise plan tailored to his needs so hopefully we will see some improvement soon; maybe even before she returns next week. I have to take him out tomorrow to be assessed for a Blue Badge. You see so many people abusing the disabled spaces that it may not even make a difference if we get one. Yes, Jay ex-Pippin is still a very regular visitor, still not neutered and still chasing my girls :-). Glad the 3 babies have been paired up, fingers crossed that they can find a furrever home.
Hello Sue, A really gorgeous card today and I just love how you have used the Gemini Dies! I have watched the video and as always I learned a lot , one thing at the very end which is so simple really but - why didn't I think of it??? It was about cutting another sentiment and laying it on top if we happen to spoil the first one! Top tip! Thank you! Love this colour combination too and the ribbon is so pretty! Pam - sorry you are left with a cough! You will just have to take extra care but I'm sure you already do that! So sorry Peter had a bad day yesterday! PP - miss you? Of course I have . We all need a little madness in our lives! Nice to see Laine back too and in full crafting mode! Wow! Maureen has been busy too! I need to get a move on!! X Love to all, Myra xx Love to all who aren't well and Carers too! Lynda - hope you are still behaving - that's a long while for you to behave!! X
What a gorgeous card sample coupled with a very informative video......words can't describe how taken i am with this card, i love everything from the way that you have cut the gemini on the diagonal to the little addition of a strip of ebony ice, a lovely touch. The focal die is stunning and the glossy Thankyou fits perfectly, you would assume that they were designed to go together. Love the glittered poppies with the blue dusk centres. This card incorporates all of the dies harmoniously and the blue dusk/black/white combo is beautiful.....Frances, i too have had my problems with the Ebony Ice, used it over the Starry Background last week and it managed to get all over me, Brodie, my desk, pokey tool(don't ask) and even up the acrylic on my nails which was a real b****r to get back out.....i tried to wash it off my pokey tool and it dropped down the plug hole:-( So now no paper piercing tool which is a nightmare let me tell you, i've sent for a few replacements but none as narrow or pointed than the original. The craft shop i bought it in has now closed and i've searched for a copy online but to no avail, just having to use a thicker replacement because no card is complete without piercing, is it Sue? Having a card free day to recharge my creative batteries....in truth i slept in and have my bedclothes to iron so no crafting on the agenda today i'm afraid. Managed to survive the temptation of yesterday, up to a point....still bought three cross stitch projects on ebay. I have done about four wild cats featuring lions and tigers in the past that are framed in our hallway and i wanted to do some more to put on an empty wall by the door. I saw a Pollyanna Pickering designed tigers head on black aida with a third off the price so persuaded my Mum that it didn't count as a craft item ie its not a die and i snapped it up. I find cross stitch really relaxing, it keeps my hands busy and out of trouble:-) P, lovely to hear that the kittens have been paired up but wonder if your hearts really in it when it comes to finding adoptive homes, i know that I couldn't give them away after caring for them for so long but i know that you already have many, how many is still a mystery though, and maybe another four is a step too far for you, its only understandable. Yes, im back with aveagance but i get the unnervey feeling that i'm being stalked by Yvonne, because whenever i comment she appears like a bad smell!:-) xxxx Theresa, hope you're recovering well after your operationxxx Frances, how lovely to hear that Jay is still a regular though i'm sure your girls don't appreciate all the attention:-) Good luck with the Blue Badge assessment, they can be so handy i have one and it can be a godsendxxx June, sending healing hugsxxx Tina, what a pain that your GP surgery wasted your time, good luck with your hospital appointment though and hope Peter feels better soon. Yvonne, ive had a quietish day so i suppose i have the necessary stamina needed for a conversation with you tonight, hope your appointment went well, i do hope you remember to wash this time before you go because cleanliness is next to godliness my dear:-) Hugs to Myra, Maureen, Pam, Pat, Maria, Wheely, Lesley, Norah, Beth, DEb C, Rebecca, Lynda, Lorraine and all my other bestiesxxx
Beautiful once again. Its very rare that you do a card or post with your fabulous dies that I don't like or even if they aren't for me I know someone who would appreciate them. Gorgeous....
Hi All, A gorgeous card as usual....love the blue & white with a small pop of black. Donita, I also saw it on You Tube. I think I have watched everything at least twice as I love to watch Sue make her creations. Stephanie K SC/USA

ReplyDeleteJune, how good are you, I can see your halo shining from here . Glad you are feeling more like your old self, or even better.

Heather, how are you doing after the pleurisy.
Tina, hope Peters review went well, any news on the leg problem.
Lynda, his are you progressing, if you are not resting you will be in bother.
Sharon and daughter, hope you both are feeling better.
Tracey, I think you are doing so well but you must be tired, try to rest when you can. You should have regular little breaks.

Hi Sue, a beautiful and very clever card. The Gemini dies are so adaptable and I like Steph's impression of lace spread over a blue tablecloth. I am usually very good with glitter and CE sparkles but I do get into bother with the ebony ice. Despite copious amounts of anti-static wiping of all surfaces (including me!), on the few occasions that I have used it I have still managed to cover everything in sight lol any tips gratefully received.
ReplyDelete'P' - thanks for asking, not much change for my husband at the moment but the physiotherapist came back this morning with an exercise plan tailored to his needs so hopefully we will see some improvement soon; maybe even before she returns next week. I have to take him out tomorrow to be assessed for a Blue Badge. You see so many people abusing the disabled spaces that it may not even make a difference if we get one. Yes, Jay ex-Pippin is still a very regular visitor, still not neutered and still chasing my girls :-). Glad the 3 babies have been paired up, fingers crossed that they can find a furrever home.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful color palette! The black really adds to the elegance of this lovely creation and I love the flowers!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteA really gorgeous card today and I just love how you have used the Gemini Dies! I have watched the video and as always I learned a lot , one thing at the very end which is so simple really but - why didn't I think of it??? It was about cutting another sentiment and laying it on top if we happen to spoil the first one! Top tip! Thank you!
Love this colour combination too and the ribbon is so pretty!
Pam - sorry you are left with a cough! You will just have to take extra care but I'm sure you already do that!
So sorry Peter had a bad day yesterday!
PP - miss you? Of course I have . We all need a little madness in our lives! Nice to see Laine back too and in full crafting mode! Wow!
Maureen has been busy too! I need to get a move on!! X
Love to all, Myra xx
Love to all who aren't well and Carers too!
Lynda - hope you are still behaving - that's a long while for you to behave!! X
Hello Sue.

Hi sue and crafters.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. So many possibilities. Great video as always xx
Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card sample coupled with a very informative video......words can't describe how taken i am with this card, i love everything from the way that you have cut the gemini on the diagonal to the little addition of a strip of ebony ice, a lovely touch. The focal die is stunning and the glossy Thankyou fits perfectly, you would assume that they were designed to go together. Love the glittered poppies with the blue dusk centres. This card incorporates all of the dies harmoniously and the blue dusk/black/white combo is beautiful.....Frances, i too have had my problems with the Ebony Ice, used it over the Starry Background last week and it managed to get all over me, Brodie, my desk, pokey tool(don't ask) and even up the acrylic on my nails which was a real b****r to get back out.....i tried to wash it off my pokey tool and it dropped down the plug hole:-( So now no paper piercing tool which is a nightmare let me tell you, i've sent for a few replacements but none as narrow or pointed than the original. The craft shop i bought it in has now closed and i've searched for a copy online but to no avail, just having to use a thicker replacement because no card is complete without piercing, is it Sue?
Having a card free day to recharge my creative batteries....in truth i slept in and have my bedclothes to iron so no crafting on the agenda today i'm afraid. Managed to survive the temptation of yesterday, up to a point....still bought three cross stitch projects on ebay. I have done about four wild cats featuring lions and tigers in the past that are framed in our hallway and i wanted to do some more to put on an empty wall by the door. I saw a Pollyanna Pickering designed tigers head on black aida with a third off the price so persuaded my Mum that it didn't count as a craft item ie its not a die and i snapped it up. I find cross stitch really relaxing, it keeps my hands busy and out of trouble:-)
P, lovely to hear that the kittens have been paired up but wonder if your hearts really in it when it comes to finding adoptive homes, i know that I couldn't give them away after caring for them for so long but i know that you already have many, how many is still a mystery though, and maybe another four is a step too far for you, its only understandable. Yes, im back with aveagance but i get the unnervey feeling that i'm being stalked by Yvonne, because whenever i comment she appears like a bad smell!:-) xxxx
Theresa, hope you're recovering well after your operationxxx
Frances, how lovely to hear that Jay is still a regular though i'm sure your girls don't appreciate all the attention:-) Good luck with the Blue Badge assessment, they can be so handy i have one and it can be a godsendxxx
June, sending healing hugsxxx
Tina, what a pain that your GP surgery wasted your time, good luck with your hospital appointment though and hope Peter feels better soon.
Yvonne, ive had a quietish day so i suppose i have the necessary stamina needed for a conversation with you tonight, hope your appointment went well, i do hope you remember to wash this time before you go because cleanliness is next to godliness my dear:-)
Hugs to Myra, Maureen, Pam, Pat, Maria, Wheely, Lesley, Norah, Beth, DEb C, Rebecca, Lynda, Lorraine and all my other bestiesxxx

How have I seen this video already? Is the You Tube channel a little ahead of the Particraft blog? It's still wonderful.

Beautiful once again. Its very rare that you do a card or post with your fabulous dies that I don't like or even if they aren't for me I know someone who would appreciate them. Gorgeous....
ReplyDeleteOnce again a stunning card with beautiful detail and i love the vibrant colour too.
ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card as usual....love the blue & white with a small pop of black.
Donita, I also saw it on You Tube. I think I have watched everything at least twice as I love to watch Sue make her creations.
