After checking everyone's comments closely, the winning guess for the 15 card total was made by Michelle with a guess of £767.55. However, I have decided to include a prize for Mary at Doghouse because her guess was £804.30 a mere £2.19 over! So both of you please email me for your prizes please! Thank you again for all your support.
I'll give you a quick rundown of this card, then list all the winners for the comment game this week.
I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card using my new Cascading Hearts embossing folder (so perfect for a wedding card, isn't it!) Next I used the Filigree Delight die and cut it out in white, using the inner oval die to cut a frame. I cut a piece of silver card that was exactly the size of the filigree delight and glued the white piece to it. I then used the oval die to cut the centre out of it. I used mounting foam and placed it to the left side of my background on the card. I stamped the Cathedral Lace stamp on white card using a clear perfect medium pad. I heat embossed it with silver powder and used the oval to cut that shape out of the centre of my stamped image. I rubbed it with Pewter gilding wax and then glued the oval in the centre of the frame, recessing it. I stamped my sentiment on a strip and embossed it in silver. I used the brushed pewter distress stain to edge the strip and then I cut the ends into forks. I mounted it across the card and embellished the edge with a sugared rose, tulle, swirls and leaves. I pierced the edges to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.

I know the post is getting rather long, but I just wanted to add a little about the weekend show. I am still spinning from the weekend at Ally Pally, but it was great fun with record attendance too! I want to thank everyone for stopping by and saying hi, introducing themselves and chatting with me, I really enjoyed it. A really big thank you goes out to those of you that braved the queue at the stand as it was crazy how long it was on Saturday. I do hope you have fun with your new goodies and I will do my best to show you loads of card samples using the products we were selling! Since they moved into the larger hall there last year, it still had plenty of room so you never felt cramped so the weekend was a sheer joy! I have decided that it must just be an English hospitality thing, because I did stamp shows like that in America for 17 years, usually about 20 shows a year. Never once can I ever recall being given a handmade card, chocolate or other gifts. I was absolutely showered with such gifts this time and times before. It is so lovely (and a bit embarrassing!) to feel so appreciated. I just want to say a great big collective thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by the stand and tell me how I have affected their lives through my crafting. Never in a million years would I have expected my life to have such an impact on anyone else's lives and you will never know what that means to me! That is the essence of life in my world, thank you, I am truly blessed! All for now, Sue x

Wow £767.55 for the auction of the 15 cards. That is amazing!! Congrats on raising so much.
This card is beautiful. I'm loving the cascading hearts embossing folder and that cathedral lace stamp is just gorgeous. So much detail.
I'm so jealous of all the awesome crafty events in the UK and US. Must be so much fun. Here in Australia there isn't many to go to and the scale is much smaller I believe. If I ever go overseas, I'll have to make sure it coincides with some of these craft shows.
Hi Sue,
Just beautiful. I'm so glad you enjoyed Ally Pally but hope you can resy up a bit now. Take care.

Hi Sue,

Beautiful card Sue, but then you never make a duff one! Congrats on raising such a huge amount with your cards, I knew they would exceed any offer I could make, so I'll have to carry on emailing in to C&C when you do your shows - who knows, I might get pulled out of the cup of chance one of these days.

I really love everything about today's card and can see it being used for as you say 'weddings' but also for engagements, anniversary, and just to give to someone whom you love very much. Silver/Gold/White is so elegant isn't it and so pure.
It's my knit and knat day today and have decided to share my bundle of new emboss folders with two of my crafty friends there. I know they would find it very difficult to have to wait until end of May or June.

I for one have learned sooo much from you both here and on the C & C shows too, and I´m sure, that how all these girls felt too, that was showering you with all that love, and I wish many more people would be that kind sometimes to all those around us, who´s doing such a big difference to our lifes. You so deserve it, so please just enjoy it hun.
Big CONGRATULATIONS for the big amount collected and also to the lucky winners here this week too.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
Good morning Sue,
First of all fantastic results for your auctions and to everyone who bid from someone who has the support of a charity run group for my Autistic child and knows just how much people such as yourselves make to our lives a BIG thank you. and to you Sue for your time, effort and your stunning cards.
Second to todays card....such a beautiful card. I love the embossed background and the lovely embossing behind the die. Oh the wonderful world of spellbinders and the creations they create from someone with a brilliant imagination. Thank you Sue
Love and crafty hugs

Morning Sue,
This card is so beautiful.
Loved meeting you at AP on Sat. Enjoyed the demos.
You truly are an inspiration and a pleasure to have in my world. Thank you. X
Such a stunning wedding card! Love the added little bit of bling on the fabulous-looking rose.
Congrats with the auctioning, you did a fabulous job.
Hugs, Eemeli
Morning Sue, such a beautiful card today, love that embossing folder. Wow you raised a really big amount for the cards so congratulations on that, the charity will be thrilled
Fabulous card today, glad you enjoyed the show and well done on raising such.a fantastic amount
Sue, first of all what a wonderful card as always. Many congratulations on raising such an amazing amount of money for the charity with your card auctions, and I'm so glad to hear you had a fab time at Ally Pally. I would love to see you there some day, but think its unlikely that I could travel, but I can understand why you get showered with presents.
You cannot underestimate the effect you can have on some people's lives with your art. Last Summer I became very depressed during my chemotherapy and lost interest in everything about me. I could hardly move and just spent weeks on the sofa in front of the tv. You did a series of Spellbinders shows on createandcraft craft, and I became inspired. My husband encouraged me to buy the deal, a big set of dies, the only time I've ever spent so much in one go, and I got excited waiting for them to come. I wasn't able to do much crafting at that time, but managed a few minutes each day and gradually got interested in life again. I read your blog every day and have continued to receive inspiration from you. Thank you for being you and giving us all so much joy. Maddy x
Good morning Sue, I'm totally inspired by this card and I have several wedding card to make so this will definitely be putting some of the ideas to use. Hugs xx
Congratulations to the winners and to you Sue for raising so much for charity. Today's card is so elegant and that embossing folder really is a must have. So glad that Ally Pally was such a success for you. Pat x
You really are a very special lady !
Dot x
Good Morning Sue!
I'm so glad that people gave you gifts etc at Ally Pally...now I think you realise what an impact you, and Spellbinders, have on peoples lives.
I am at home most of the time and crafting is my saviour!
Without this I think I would go crackers! LOL
Love today's card, and look forward to being able to buy the Embossing Folders when they are available again.

Good morning Sue, you are such a special lady. Not only do you inspire us with your beautiful cards but you are so kind and generous with your time and your talents, especially the auction. Another lovely card today. Enjoy a well earned rest!

Hi Sue
I'm so excited that I won your draw. Can't wait for the postman. Today's card is lovely, another definite one to try. Congratulations on your auction a fantastic amount. Keep up the great work.
Sue x
Good morning Sue,
Firstly, congratulations that amount of money you raised will make a huge difference!
Today's card is fabulous, I can't wait for my embossing folders to arrive!
I would have queued the whole day just to say hi! I think it is important for you to know how much of a difference you make to people's lives, personally inspiring me to just do something to drag me from the depth's of depression!
Seeing someone's face when you give them a card is a lovely feeling!
I have to say that I have never witnessed anyone that is as widely appreciated as you are, either by the sheer volume of your blog followers or by the effect you have when recommending things that you use after which the whole country sells out of that item! It is fantastic and important to know how much we love and appreciate the effort you go to providing us with inspiration everyday, regardless of what's happening in your own life, you truly are amazing!
Huge crafty hugs my dear friend,
Sandra xx

Good morning Sue. Another beautiful card. I do love white and silver. Fantastic. Your cards are always so classy. I'm so glad you were really appreciated at ally pally. You so deserve it. Xx
Congratulations to all you very lucky winners
Well I can't believe how much you raised for the charity event, well done Sue. I was lucky enough to win one of your cards and it has pride of place in my workroom (sounds grand but it doubles up as our bedroom)
Ally Pally was a joy, great stands and your stand Sue had lots of goodies
Love todays card

hi Sue,
I don't usually "do" hearts but I must say that this embossing folder is very appealing and you have made a beautiful card. Congratulations on the amount you raised for the auction, a stupendous amount. I'm not surprised that you had so many people coming to see you at Ally Pally, you have so many friends out here with all that you give to us with your daily teaching. perhaps next time I will be able to join the throng!!

Hi Sue
Congratulations on the monies raised for charity. Lovely card today once again. I'm not surprised you had lots of thank you's at the Ally Pally Sue. Your work is truly inspirational. Congrats to all the winners last week. You are in for a treat, as I won a couple of weeks ago.
Such an elegant card today - the die and background embossing folder are absolutely beautiful. Glad you feel well rested, and have bounced back full of beans!!
Thanks, Susan
Love the cascading hearts folder fab card as always Hugs Corinne
Such a beautiful card Sue, I've a question for you & not sure if I'm allowed to ask it on here so plz forgive me, hee hee! I purchased the piercing rule & I was wondering what tool you use to pierce the cards please? as I've tried my pokey tool but its not going through the holes on the rule. Thanks, Chrissie xx
Hi Sue, this has the WOW factor and texture is stunning. Congratulation to all the winners n one day it may be me - ha ha!!! Money raised at the auction was a great result.

Another stunner Sue and the silver embossing really sets it off. You deserve all of the lovely gifts you received as you touch our lives daily in a very positive way,
huge hugs
lovely card yet again [ as if it wouldnt be ]....keep em coming sue x
Wonderful card from a wonderful lady - it's now my new favourite as my previous three were sold at the auction. Was sorry not to get one, but hey what a fantastic amount raised, Sue.
Don't be surprised or embarrassed at the affection in which you're held - I'm just anxious that you may feel it a lot to live up to.
We love you for your talent and for your lovely ways and giving nature, and are just so grateful for your willingness to share.
Guess you DIDN'T have much relax time as you had to read through the many hundreds of comments. I'm sure none of us would mind if you took some 'time out' if needed.

Hello Sue,
sounds like ally pally was loads of fun. Today's card is beautiful, i really like the embossed hearts background. This card is classy and any one would be over the moon to receive such a stunning creation
crafty hugs Julie-Ann x
A beautiful card Sue and congrats on all the 'good stuff' you've shared with us today. A very generous bunch of people helping you raise all that money :)
Hi Sue, such a stunning card today!! Glad Ally Pally went so well. I so wish I could go to something like that, it would be truly amazing to meet you, but it would be too much for me to go to such a large event as I suffer with MS. Oh well, at least I have the blog and the TV, so I am still part of it all. Love Sam xxx
Hi Sue,
This is an amazing card! Overall of course it is stunning, but in particular I like the Cathedral Lace in the oval 'frame' and the Cascading Hearts embossed background. I have this one and 2 others from your new A4 folder collection and I'm very pleased with them. Well done on raising so much from your card auctions. Brilliant! By the time you've done the demo day plus sales from the proposed dvd I reckon that total will at least treble. So pleased you enjoyed Ally Pally. You most definitely deserve all the recognition and appreciation you receive!
Sue
Congratulations on such a fantastic amount raised with the auction. Fab card very classy. xx
Love this card given me some ideas as I have a couple of speical wedding cards to make for friends. Thanks as ever Sue

Hello Sue,

Congratulations also to the lucky winners - enjoy!
I was on of the people in the long queue at Ally Pally - every one was in very good spirit (I didn't hear one moan) and when I got to pay your helpers were so thoughtful and pleasent, plus I had my goodies - what more could I want!
Todays card is another WOW WOW... I just love everything about it, where do you your fantastic level of inspiration....Where ever it comes from "Thank you" for sharing it with us.
Best wishes, Brenda Lel
I love this especially the rose

Hi Sue
Congratulations on the amount raised in the auctions and well done to everyone who bid. I'm really pleased that you had such a good time at AP and pleased that you were made such a fuss of. We all admire what you do for us all. The card today is truly beautiful - I really don't know how you do it day after day but am so pleased that you do!
Lovely card, Sue and lovely letter with it. You are truly blessed but only because you deserve it.
Take care and keep carding!
Hi Sue, sorry I haven't commented for a couple of weeks but been poorly. I just wanted to say, that each day I have logged in to look at your cards. As you found out at Ally Pally, you are an inspiration to us all, with a card a day on your blog. They are ALL so beautiful in different ways. I'm so glad you got such a lot for the auction..:).Have a great evening..lots of love Carole..xxx
Hi Sue,
Thank you for being such an inspiration. Today another stunning card.
Thanks you again
ALison x
Gorgeous card as usual Sue. Congratulations on your charity auction cards, a great total!!!
Hope you manage to rest before your trip to the USA. Dont know where you get the energy from?
Oh wow Sue, this is beautiful! It would make a stunning wedding card and what couple wouldn't treasure this? How fantastic that such a great amount was raised for the charity and how lovely of you for the kind gesture to Mary too. Wonderful! So glad you had such a fantastic time at Ally Pally and being able to put a face to those who leave their comments for you. It is like the sentiment that you use, "To the world you may be one person but to one person you mean the world". I think I've got it right! How lovely that so many people came up to you with gifts, cards and chocolate (I'd blush too!), but how loved are you? The inspiration and the time that you give to others is second to none and crafting just takes you to another planet! (We need to go there sometimes!). It's been great reading about Ally Pally as some of us might never get the chance to go there. "Thank you". You're just a very special lady and the whole family must be so proud of you. Congratulations to all the winners! What a lovely surprise to see that that includes me too! Whoo hoo! Enjoy your prizes everyone and that means I will too! Take care Sue and enjoy your rest now xx Love Karen xx
Congratulations on the auction. How do you mange to think of such amazing ideas all the time?
Absolutely Gorgeous love the silver and white.

Hi Sue,
Wow for the card and wow for the amount of money you raised. Well done.

Much love,

Congrats on raising so very much money its amazing well done.
Best wishes and sorry again for posting so late, from Katielou Sweetlove x
Sorry Sue forgot some things to add to my post!
I forgot to say how much I love the stamped image that you embossed with the pewter gilding wax such a subtle effect I really like it. Such a good idea.
I like the very pretty frame you've created around the stamped area its such a elegent pretty die I think I have this one but only used it a couple of times recently.
The swirl flourishes and leaves are pretty and really help set off the rose wonderfully, and the pearl swirls are beautiful as always.
Thank you for your inspiration.
Soz for posting this to add to my original post but I triedto edit my post on my phone once id written it but I couldn't scroll down to add anything so had to post as was.
Best wishes from katielou sweetlove (again)
