Diagonal Border Card



Hi crafters!  Nothing too fancy, but a pretty card made with the addition of pixie powders and an embossing folder!  Great for a last minute card for any occasion!

Just a quick note to let you know that Jamie Rodgers will be on C & C today at 1:30 pm and 9pm and also Sunday the 12th at 3pm with the new Endless Option die collection from the current release.  I have to say a great big thank you to Jamie as he has jumped in to do these shows for me as I had originally planned to be doing them.  However, given the current circumstances, my travel plans had to be cancelled.  Please tune in to see his fabulous demos and samples!











The finished dimensions are  6 3/4"  x  8" in size.  All for now. Sue x

  3. Hi there Sue. What a beautiful picture of inspiration it's clean and fresh with a gorgeous background, when you use the 3D folders it makes me think of those that struggle with sight and how wonderful it is that they can run their finger over the card front and instantly see the design in their minds eye.
    Such a pitty you couldn't launch your new dies from home Sue, somehow get connected via the magic of cameras, I'm no expert on production but it would be such a lift to see our mentor again. As long as you and Colin are safe that's all that matters. I have the black box ready to record to fast forward the unimportant stuff.

    The sentiment on today's sample is sent right back to you we can all share virtual hugs wherever we are in the world.
    STAY SAFE KEEP CRAFTING ❤ xxx

    Happy Easter everyone, I hope you are getting some lovely spring weather and have a garden or balcony to enjoy it. Beautiful autumn day here today, in fact I am going back to sit in the late afternoon sun for a little while then will watch the video.

    Good Morning Sue and Happy Easter Saturday to all
    Thank you so much for the video Sue and Steph. is right about the deep embossing being so lovely for the blind and low vision to 'see'it. I've been registered Low Vision for more than 10 years now and feeling the embossing is a bonus.
    I hope you all have a peaceful day and give thanks for what we have,
    Love and Hugs.

    A lovely crisp card. Will watch the video soon and will be recording Jamie’s shows. Shame you couldn’t be here to do them, but hopefully we will see you here when things eventually get back to normal. I like Jamie, his style, ability, and personality make him a joy to watch. I’m sure he’ll more than do your dies justice.

    Happy Birthday Sharon C, have a lovely day.
