For You Border Card
Hi bloggers! Here's a card for you that utilises a leftover piece from the aperture cut from another card! Waste not, want not as they say!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue. The first thing that strikes me is the colour and how it makes everything stand out beautifully it's so eye catching. I can't begin to tell you how many storage boxes or A4 cello bags I have full of fall out pieces from frames etc, I think it now takes over the full packets of cardstock I have colour coded ready to use stores in my book case shelf lol. Will look forward to watching your tutorial a little later. Whatever your plan's for the day enjoy xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous creation, love the colours and the dies you have used, I will be checking out the video later, can't wait. xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good morning Sue Fabulous card I like the cut down hexagonal borders & clever way to add a narrow black mat behind the focal element Sue check great tips on your video Sorry to hear via Julias blog that you are feeling poorly I really hope you will feel much better soon

Get well soon. Fab card, love your video. Love how you glued the 2 black borders and how you use 2 main dies to make the black edge. Hugs SNOOPY DOG 2. xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely card, teal and black go so well together. I have narrowed the Hexagonal border as shown and it really works well to give a different look. So sorry to see that you are poorly and hope that you feel better very soon. I will miss seeing you on Monday but I am sure Julia will do you proud.
Oh I do like this, your ideas always give me so much inspiration Sue, thank you....I too prefer the lettering in the teal, shows up better....luv Ursula xx

Hi Sue. Nice to see the return of the lovely teal card. What a good idea to use the border die central panel to tie in with the teal borders (I do realise it is a waste piece from another card)
