To The World

Happy weekend!  I have been playing a bit more with my Vintage Lace dies and came up with this one the other day.  I am just in love with this border, it ticks all the boxes for me.  I picked out a piece of some decorative paper that I had in a scrap box and started from there.  I added four borders around it to create a pretty frame.  I overlapped them at the corners and added some large half pearls that I had. These will be in stock in the coming weeks if you are looking for large sizes, fyi.  The smaller "pearls" are my Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glue dots, you thought they were also pearls, didn't you?  From there I cut a labels 23 die out of milk coloured card and added the matching pearl nestabling.  I stamped my sentiment in black and clear embossed it.  I cut this out out of labels 18.  Once out of the die, I edged it with some Bundled Sage distress ink to pick up just a hint of the background colour.  I mounted it with foam pieces in the centre.  I had a few scraps of my background paper left for I tore two pieces into circles and scrunched them.  I put a brad through the centre and inked the edges lightly with Bundled sage also.  This gave me a lovely little shabby chic flower for my card.  I tied a messy bow out of chalk white American seam binding and used a glue dot to attach it to my card.  I topped it with my scrunched  flower and pierced the edges of the card to complete it.  Very girlie, but you know they are my favourite type!  All for now, Sue x

    Good Morning Sue,
    Now this card "Sings" to me I love it.
    Might just use this idea later for an Anniversary Card I need to make.
    Have a Great Weekend

    Love this card. I love the way that the items used are not 'christmassy' initially.
    Then again that's why I love spellbinders just for that reason.
    Enjoy your weekend and I hope you are having fun.

    Hi Sue, don't know what's going on with Mr. Blogg this morning, first I have three comments then none, so I'll try again, I really love this card, I thin your Vintage Lace really lends itself to the sgabby chic genre. Best wishes, Lesley x

    Didn't like the last card with nestie bling, but this is lovely. I think it is the subtle colours of the backing paper that mean the pearls don't seem over the top. Very pretty card for any occasion xxx

    Morning Sue, Absolutely love this card, it is GORGEOUS. This is the card that I'm going to try to copy for a friend's birthday in 2 weeks time. I love the colours, the vintage lace borders look gorgeous, I'm loving labels 18 and 23, I haven't got those yet but they're next on my list, they work perfectly with the sentiment and nestabling is just gorgeous. The bow is 'to die for', might have to get some of the American Seam Binding, the bows you make with it are absolutely beautiful. Love the large flat backed pearls, can't wait for those to be available and your pave faux pearls always look so beautiful (I still haven't given that a go yet, you make it look so easy, but I'm scared ha ha, will have to pluck up courage and give it a go). Lots of love from Patricia xx

    Hi Sue,
    I absolutely love this one - and with different sentiments it would be suitable for so many special occasions too. I love your Vintage Lace border, I have several pretty lace punches but I've just realised that since your dies arrived I haven't used them once! Have lots of lovely papers as well that I could get out to use with this card. So it doesn't matter if it rains, I shall be happy playing!
    Thank you Sue,
    Have a great weekend everyone,

    Hello Sue, those vintage lace dies are on my birthday list. They make the most feminine cards ever. Love the colour also, especially with the pearls. Into the folder with this one, thank you. xx

    Hi Sue - I love the borders on this card and the blue/white paper is so pretty. This is a really gorgeous design - however I am soooo sorry but I do not like the Nestabling. It just makes the edge look lumpy - I love the rest of the pearls but I can't take to the bling around the frame, it just spoils the look for me.

    I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
    page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love
    what youve got to say. But maybe you could
    a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2
    pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
