Hello crafters! I have a fun apron card for you today! I just love this die set as there are so many uses for it! Not to mention, so many of the dies in the accessory set will work with your Shadow Box cards too. I went to my decorative paper stash for this one and selected some simple black and white polka dot paper for the top of the card and some matching diagonal stripes for the bottom of the card. I wanted to bring in some red so I used a strip of card between the two designs as a divider border. I cut the
Apron out of
Kraft card and then cut just the lower pocket area again. I trimmed it neatly above the stitching and added a thin mounting foam edge to the back and attached it directly over the same spot in the full sized apron die cut. This gave me a pocket to fill and hang stuff from. I cut the small rounded pocket out of red card and attached it to the top of the apron the same way. I cut all the utensils from the
Baked With Love Accessory set out of either
milk card, red card or silver shine card. For the spatula, salt shaker and whisk, I used a silver paint pen and added some silver details to them and placed them in the pocket. I hung the over mitt from the corner and added some light white pencil highlights to it. I put the silver utensils in the upper pocket and hung the measuring spoons from the corner of the pocket, which I also highlighted with a white pencil. I used some
red and white Bakers twine as the ties and finally added a small sentiment in the upper corner. I have to warn you, I really want to decorate this apron in so many ways! Who knows how it will show up looking in the future! LOL The card was completed with white, black and red mats. The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" n size. All for now, Sue x

Happy Monday Sue and all, this is a beautiful card, so cute. Hope you had a days rest yesterday. It is so well deserved.
ReplyDeleteSaba, it must be heartbreaking every time you leave your little man for both you and him. You will soon be back though for your meet up with the Naughty Nines as Patricia called you, so very apt I think from the stories I've heard, however I think I may have turned green with envy.
Elaine, when will Andrew know about his next treatment, This seems to be interminable, will be good job when it is over.
Laine, has your nose grown, it will look out of place on your cute little face. Is Yvonne okay or just too busy living the high life.
Tracey, what a time to be ill,hope you get better for your meet up with Pat, it will be so much fun.
June hope the craft workshop went well and that you had a good time.
Deborah, I hope your hubby is recovering well and feeling more like his old self.
Tina, NanbaTina, Wheeley, Maureen, missing you all, hope you will be back on the blog soon.
Hugs to all, enjoy your day, Ladies you are all too kind.
Morning Sue, a fabulous card you could replace the baking for tools for a great guy card.

Hello Sue, this card is just fabulous, love this die set, and so useful. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteDear Sue and gang,
ReplyDeleteThis does look like fun. Love the cheery background too, and how perfectly the sentiment oval fits in the corner.
I really thought the hot mitt was made from patterned paper.
Have a good week!
Love,
Donita
Morning Sue, hope you are well. Lovely card I just bought this apron and accessories so will try and have make a card like yours lol. Big hugs Jo xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat card Sue. I've just ordered these dies so should get them in the next couple of days. They were out of stock before my holiday. I know a lot of people who would love your card and the dies look so versatile.
ReplyDeleteCrafty hugs to all.
Keep safe and warm.

Great card Sue.

ReplyDeleteLove it, love it, love it! Such a clever card!
ReplyDeleteMaggie B !
Morning Sue. Another start to another wonderful week of daily inspiration - as Carol King once wrote "there's nowhere else I'd rather be"
ReplyDeleteA fun card to start our day with, love nancyd's suggestion of DIY tools as an accessory to go with the apron as my late dad would wear something similar when decorating our home to keep all his tools at hand, what do you think Sue ? A hammer, screwdriver etc 😊 🔨🔧 and we could add in one of the Latte mugs as we all know how many times we fill the kettle for their tea breaks ! Lol anyway, a cool fun way to start our week in Particraft World. Sending hugs for a good day coming your way Sue 😉 xxx
lovely fun card for today Sue.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Can think of so many people this card would suit. So on trend with the GBBO
ReplyDeleteLuv
Karen xx
Good morning Sue. Lovely card, I agree that there are so many ways to decorate it - can't wait to see what else you have to show us.
ReplyDeletePam, fabulous summary as usual, I'm going to be the first person you pick up in your echo wagon today!
Donita, trust me your actions are special, not all work places and people in them are like yours and I speak from personal experience. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeletereally love the card and the apron great for a cook and a chef. x
What a fabulous, fun card, which really made me smile. As someone else said, it can be adapted for a male card with different tools. Thanks you for a great card.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteLove this sweet cute card.Lots of friends of mine love baking (since the Great British Bake Off T.V. show) These dies on my must have list.
Jan x
Awesome card with so many fun details! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA lovely unisex card with wonderful accessories. Looking forward to seeing your other ideas! X
Fabulous card today Sue! I just love this. Must be my inner child wanting to play with the utensils ☺. These were the first dies I bought but need to find a way to fit the apron on to a 6" x 6" card. Debra x
ReplyDeleteGM Sue.Great card. Must try this.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue . Amazing card this morning this morning which will be great both male and female any ages. I love the little dies and you finished them of. Love the idea of a silver pen which would be easier than cutting them out of foiled card.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.... Wendy
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous and fun card for Baker's everywhere. For some reason, it makes me think of a barbecue and summer picnics. Like your background, gives a festive air to the card.
Have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card
ReplyDeleteA really happy cheerful card this and so so adaptable. I can see mens barb-b-q or tool aprons, bathing baby aprons, gardening aprons, wow the list goes on. Thanks for sharing this Sue and thanks for all your hard work and inspiration. Have a great day hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteYes like Beverly I think of barbecues too, such a fabulous card and your shading with white pencil really makes it pop!
I have a few shadow box dies and accessories but not this one, once again I may have been mistaken thinking I didn't NEED it.
hugs
Muriel x
This card will suit so many people, suitable for a lit of men as they do like to dabble in the kitchen. I also have several chefs in the family & had thought a shadow box card would also be a good way to use them. I think a craft apron as well as a DIY apron would be good. Thank you for the inspiration .Sue.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteThe cards that are causing me most trouble are Teenage Boys!
This is a lovely card and love the baking idea!
Love Marg
Happy card, Sue, as ever it's the little touches that make it even better - use of the white pencil almost looks like flour dusting! Like Laine and the gumball machine, don't really have a 'market' for these dies but love to see them featured.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, echoing Pam. Do hope Maureen is okay - missed.
Laine, you sound quite perky - what's with your BB, PP? Furbabes fine thanks but have had a dire time recently which can't speak of here.
Hugs all round.

ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card to start the week. I'm really impressed with how well the kitchen utensils cut and how lifelike they are. You have done well. I have to say the white shading on the apron is just right, wear and tear and a bit of flour - perfect! Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam spot on as always, sending hugs xxx
Morning Sue, I'm loving this card !! The apron is fabulous, I adore the little pockets, they look so 'real', the utensils are brilliant, so so effective.

Good morning Sue. This die set along with the Baked with Love set excited me when you released them last month. They are at the top of my need list and I hope to be able to buy them this month.
ReplyDeleteYour card is wonderful and I look forward to seeing other ideas from you for this set.
Marion S x
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteSmashing card, I could not resist this die set when you launched, I made a card for a young man who's into cooking, did it in striped card and backing papers of recipes, so pleased with my finished card.
Have a good day.

Morning Sue, a lovely fun card. My Nephew is a budding chef and so this would be so great for him - I can feel another purchase coming on! xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning card today Sue, love all the little implements, and with the apron as well there are so many uses for this die, male or female cards in abundance.
ReplyDeletePam, yes all is well, I had a fabulous time yesterday at the craft workshop, made 3 cards, all very different, using dies, stamps, water-colouring, 2 types of flower moulding and making, lots of cutting out and scoring but a very enjoyable day, met some lovely new friends too.
I also echo all your remarks today, hope everyone is enjoying life.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Looking forward to your next apron card. x
This is great Sue, love seeing these cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your brilliant recipes always learn something.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, just love it! As others have said, would make a great masculine card with tools instead of the baking items. Love to all, Alison xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely card and a very useful die set.
Pam, Andrew has to have his treatment on Thursday regardless of his condition, if his resistance is low they will top him up intravenously .
I have had a bad night and got up very late for me , so i am going to jump on your echo wagon again Sue . Thank you.
Take care everyone big hugs to all who need one .

How cute is this card . just love it thankyou xx love yvonne bennett xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, great card, it would be quite good for a Mothers Day card, or someone who loves baking.
ReplyDeleteLove all the little utensils, take care everyone, Jess xxx
Hi, Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful card, it's just too cute for words. I adore the little measuring spoons :). This is something that I would be happy to use for my brother-in-law as he loves baking cakes...my sister would need either a gardening or sewing themed one I think lol.
I hope everyone is safe and well after Doris struck...how can we be afraid of a storm called Doris for goodness sake!! I think the storms should all have Viking names or Norse gods :).
Touch wood, it's quite calm so far this morning in my corner of Cornwall, although we did have some rain before I got up. There's a lot of cloud cover but I think the sun is trying to shine. Still not the weather to work outside though and I really need to dismantle my greenhouse, don't tell anyone that I'm smiling at the delay in getting out there lol. Oh well, another day in the craft room for me then. I've recently tried my hand at egg decorating. It didn't go as well as it could as I wasn't able to cut the egg very neatly. I think if I try again I'll be brave and use my dremel on the shell...and get another duck egg which is nice and thick lol.
Here's to a great week for everyone.
Bejay xx
Fabulous card - great for male and female cooks alike
ReplyDeleteDoreen R
Very nice and would be good with bbq items or tools for a man's card.

Certainly a fun card. My 14 year old nephew would appreciate this because, as a result of watching the GBBO with his mum, he is has become a baking fanatic. His Christmas cake was superb.

ReplyDeleteluv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, What. Brilliant start to the week. That is one fabulous card. Can't wait to see the rest of your apron cards. We had a brai here yesterday and using different utensils would have made a great thank you card for the male cook. Hugs xx P Austen

What an amazing card! Love, love, love all of the little cooking utensils!!!! Totally awesome! I think I need this set of dies ASAP TFS!
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute card. Loving your card but then I do love wearing kitchen aprons as well as my gardening aprons.
ReplyDeleteThis could be easily made into masculine card as well; BBQ apron with using BQ tools or Workshop apron using the tool die cuts, having pocket to hold gift card; or apron for the guy who likes to garden. Lots of possibilities using the apron for the male or female.
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteWell My Friend You've Done It Once Again, I Recently Watched You
Make A Similar Apron On A "Video Tutorial" On "You Tube" But You Used Different
Colours You Used Paper From Your "Classic Elegance Paper Pad" You Also Used
A Selection Of The Same Dies And Also A Selection From Your Other Cooking Set With
The "Food Mixer" Etc:-
Products Used Today:-
"The Baked With Love Accessories Die Set"
"The Apron Die Set"
"Coconut White, Black, Kraft, Milk, Red Foundation Card"
"Decorative Paper From Your Stash"
"Silver Paint Pen"
"Red/White Bakers Twine"
Today's Card:-
I Just Love How You Started By Using Your Papers From Your Stash, Using Your Black/White
Polka Dot For The Top Half Of Your Card, And For The Bottom Half You Used Some Matching Diagonal
Stripes It Looks Extremely Striking. You Then Wished To Bring Some Red Into Your Card So You Cut
A Strip Of Red Card And Used It As A Divider Between Your Two Design Papers, Then You Cut Out
Your Truly Tremendous "Apron" Out Of Kraft Card It Looks Outstanding, You Then Cut Out The Lower
Pocket Once Again, You Tidied Up The Edges And Added Thin Strips Of Mounting Foam To The Edges
And Attached It To The Same Area Of You Full Sized Apron.
This Gave You A Superb Pocket To Fill And Hang Your Awesome Kitchen Utensils From, You Cut A Small
Pocket Out Of Red And Placed It At The Top Of Your Apron Doing It The Same Way As Your Large Pocket
Then You Cut Out All Your Remarkable Utensils From "The Baked With Love Die Set" Using Red, Milk, Or In
Some Cases Silver Shine Card But Its So Much Easier To Have A Silver Paint Pen To Add The Realistic Look
To Your Spatular, Salt Shaker, Whisk, You Then Placed Them In Your Pocket, I Love The Oven Mitt The Detail
Is Tremendous, The Embossing And The Detailed Stitching, Adding White Highlights Here And There, In
Your Upper Pocket You Placed Your Fabulous Silver Untensils On The Inside, And Also Your Measuring Spoons
Then You Added Red/White Bakers Twine As Your Apron Strings, Then You Added Your Sentiment in Upper Corner
Your Close Up Photographs Are Astonishing Showing Everything In Such Fine Detail, You Finally Finished Off
With Your Coconut White/Black/Red Mat/Layering And Your Signature Piercing Which I Love...
Sue Thank You For Sharing You Inspire Me Daily I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do.
Superb New Video Tutorials On "You Tube"
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Sue Lots Of Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 For Yourself

Good morning Sue.I saw you demo this. It is such a lovely fun card and suitable for males and females. I love it and have just bought it there are so many ways to decorate it. I'm sure there will be so many variations on the theme. Love the pockets of the apron and all the super little accessories.And a big thank you for the demo using a silver paint pen- yes, I was going to cut them all with silver card. This idea is so much easier. All in all, can you tell I just love it?
ReplyDeleteVery cute :)
ReplyDeleteWow! This looks AMAZING! Love these dies!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant card, Sue!! Ideal for Mother's Day....it could also be adapted to suit my trainee-chef grandson, who turns 18 this year!! Jo xx
ReplyDeleteWhat FUN!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. WOW What a fantastic card, its so cute. I can see many possabilities for these dies and to mix and match them with the Shadow Box dies. This could be used for famale cards or for those budding chefs and ideal for those difficult male cards. Another set of dies to go on my ever increasing wish list LOL.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.

ReplyDeleteHi sue and crafters.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun bakers card. My friend would just love this. I best not show her it or she will make me buy the dies to make it!! She's such a bad influence hee hee.
Well I'm off to Ireland in the morning. Still feeling a little off but not as bad as I had been. Getting excited that I'm meeting up with pat L on Thursday. Woo hooo lol.
Love to all xx
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and such lovely detail! I love the look of flour and the fact that it looks like a used , favourite apron! This was the first Die my friend bought from your latest launch and she brought it round to show me! We were waxing lyrical about different sorts of aprons for different people both male and female and the fact that these lovely utensils could be used in the Shadow Boxes. Love the cord for the ties too!
P In Wales - I'm sorry you have had a " dire time" recently. That sounds awful. Sending you a hug!
Tina Eldridge - if you look in - hope all went well today! Was thinking of you and will continue to do so over the coming week! x
Love to all lovely friends on the blog!
Myra xxx
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, I just love all the little utensils popped into the pockets they look so "real". I can imagine the apron used in so many ways to suit both male and female recipients. The dotted and striped papers work perfectly together as a background and the white highlights just add that bit extra. Love it.
Pam it's always sad when I have to leave my little ones but as you say it won't be long before I'm back.
Elaine so sorry you had a bad night, hope tonight is a better one.
Tracy have fun in Ireland, looking forward to hearing all about it.
P in Wales sorry you've had a bad time, hope things are improving.
Love and hugs for all

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteOh what an undeniably cute ensemble! You have created a charming card with the dearest little accessories that would also fit perfectly within the Shadow Box dies. As reflected, this apron could be used for chefs, bakers, gardeners, crafters, DIYers, and any number of activities and hobbies, it is just so versatile. I just adore the dinky rolling pin, spatula, measuring spoons etc and i love how you have used a silver paint pen to create the silver effect. Its also ingenious using the white pencil to highlight the apron and accessories because it adds a further dimension to the items. I will definitely be investing in this set, if not because they are just too cute to ignore but also because friends like Yvonne would really appreciate a cooking inspired card being the domestic goddess that she claims:-) Great card, many thanks for all your hard work Sue, what would we do without our daily fix?
The sun almost threatened to shine today, there is still snow on Norah's Hills though but the days are getting noticeably brighter and i saw a tree with what appeared to be blossom on it this afternoon....i decided to venture out for a much needed sun bed for a dose of vitamin D, felt much brighter as a result. Can't believe that its almost March, Ally Pally will be soon...i just wish that i could go but Yvonne has banned me from visiting, she thinks that she will be Sues favourite without me taking all the limelight:-)
Pam, large nose?Whatever could you mean?:-) Yvonne likes to think that she's living the high life but it masks an altogether sadder existence devoid of any friends I'm afraid:-) She was quite tired when i last spoke with her but I'm sure she'll be back on form soon.
Carmen, i would love to make you a Candy Machine card but fear that it might not be up to Sue's high standard. What sort of theme would you like? I think Gobstoppers would be an appropriate sweetie but i think that the hole on the machine isn't quite as large as your mouth:-) Maureen is known for her cheekiness so i was simply letting her know that we bore no grudge and looked forward to her return:-)
P, i am indeed perky in spirit if not in body because my ban on buying any dies is soon to be lifted:-)
PP is still pooped after her busy social calendar. I am so sorry to hear of your dire time, don't be afraid to mention any worries if you need some support, I'm sure Sue wouldn't object. I'm glad furbabes are well though, hugs all roundxxx
Elaine, hope you have a better nights sleepxxx
Tracy, safe trip tomorrowxxx
Myra&Maureen, sending hugs to my favourite twosomexxx
Hugs to all my besties, hope that you are all well, and anybody in need of a cuddle is more than welcomexxx
Off to watch Broadchurch, good stuff:-)

ReplyDeleteFantastic card!
ReplyDeleteHave all the dies so will have a go.
Loved your show at the weekend and have learnt a lot about the Gumball Machine, need to go out and find lots of small sweets to go in it. Like you Sue I love candy too so these cards are right up my street.

Really lovely fun card so versatile.
Hugs to all

Evening Sue and everyone.
ReplyDeleteI love this card and your baking set is a fantastic little kit !
Love how you have used a silver pen instead for card or foil for
some of the areas and white pen for wear and tear and flour on the Apron.
I want this die set so badly, can't wait until Ally Pally and to see you again.
Congrats to the three comment winners yesterday and a very nice
card it was too. Looking forward to see it as a spinner card.
Elaine- fingers crossed and everything else for Andrew on Thursday and I
wish everything goes well. Sending you all some hugs x
Craftynanna and it was someone else with real bad back's at the moment,
do take care but continue moving around if you can. It's horrid to have pain
as many of us know, probably how many of us started with card making and if
the mojo just is there and not floating around somewhere else then card making
is a very nice and relaxing hobby, don't you agree ? Yay Sue, for being here
for us all and giving us soooo many ideas for our cards ! x
Tracy- hope you feel better asap and you have a wonderful meet up with

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love these cards and this one is such a fun card, especially if you're a baker (and even if you're not lol)

Hi Sue, I love this card with all the tiny utensils, I am a sucker for all things miniature. I used your tip of silver paint pen on the garden tools and glossy accents on the handles and was really pleased with the results. Although I don't have the baking set just yet I look forward to seeing what else you come up with for the apron.
ReplyDeleteI'm late today as I went out for lunch with my friend and her two daughters for whom I am an honorary auntie. Despite being 35 and 40 they still call us auntie and uncle and I am old-fashioned enough to really appreciate it. We had such a good natter we were in danger of being thrown out :-)
Laine - good to see you again, the furbabies are all fine thank you and I hope the forthcoming boosters for Darcey and Brodie go to plan.
'P' - sorry that you have been having a bad time, hope things are looking up for you now.
Tracy - have a lovely cold-free holiday and a great time meeting up with Pat L. We expect a full report lol

Really fun card with all those little utensils. Love the way you've used the silver pen and the white pencil.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou took me by surprise with this card. So different than everything you’ve done since I joined the club/blog! Love it! This mini apron and those mini utensils are so cute. It could be used for many occasions for ladies and men as well. I have friends who would love this. I join those looking forward to seeing more variations on the theme. Thank you for the inspiration.
Elaine - hugs for you and Andrew! Good luck on Thursday!
Laine – Yvonne will steal the show with or without you there. Not many people will miss you at Ally Pally. At least you’ll be here (I hope) to entertain the rest of us!
Have a great week everyone!
