Good Sunday morning all! It's all about the border die for today's card offering. Borders are just so versatile in what they can do and as you can see, I have used them here to create a pretty background. The
French Collection border has been cut in black and
coconut white card, twice each colour. I glued the black borders to white card strips and the white border have been set going in towards each other on black glitter card. I attached each of the three strips to a larger black card and raised the centre strip slightly above the other two. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
tag from the Austrian Collection. I cut a
French tag in black to go underneath for a bit more detail to my focal element. I added this piece in the centre of my card with mounting foam. From my stash, I found some black rhinestones in a double strip roll so I added a strip of them t the top and bottom areas against the black borders. I completed the card with a white border which I added
Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots to all the way around to frame my card. A thin black mat layer then a final white mat completed the card. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size.

Very ornate, Sue, with just the right touch of bling - always like black-and-white cards and this is a fab border.

Well done to all the winners, esp

Spectacular! A real confection. xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue
ReplyDeleteToday's card is such a feminine pretty one and looks gorgeous. Like Kitty I too bought these rhinestone strips from the pound shop (I love a bargain lol,) but I've been cutting them to use individually ........ Until now. This card can be made in any colour and will always look fabulous because the dies do all the work for you.
It was lovely to see you back Norah
Congratulations to all the winners

Hi Sue. This is a lovely card, my screen is showing the top photos in black/white and and the bottom 2 in black/cream, which is just as beautiful : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all of the Comment Game winners : )
Norah, so good to see you back : )
Sending my daily hugs to everyone and I hope the winds haven't done too much damage where you live. Take care.
Hi Sue great use of dies, so pretty and effective. Congratulations to winners x
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the border die which i have so we be using it , this way . Thanks for inspiration. Congrats to winners. JJxx
ReplyDeletemorning Sue or is it Afternoon where you are at the moment.
ReplyDeleteToday's gift is a study in monochrome and for me that just hits the spot. I love your French border and tag set and have to admit that although I've got this set as yet I still have to use it. You have now given me the perfect nudge to get on with it. I am just finding the middle panel of today's gift a little too busy for me but am hoping it grows on me.
Norah - welcome home young lady. It's wonderful to have you back where you belong.
Sandra - Thank you for your lovely comment re our Friday evening meal - I do all the cooking and backing and Mr E does all the clearing away and washing up so it's equal parts unless I'm particularly bad atanding or in more pain than usual then he steps in but I have to be in the kitchen with him because although he can cook he has to have what he calls 'his comfort blanket' there to ask questions of (I'm not sure whether that is a compliment or not - knowing him it probably is one of his comments with tongue in cheek).
Congratulations Wheely Bad - I can just see you dancing around and around lol seeing your name this morning. I know you'll enjoy your gift.
I hope that all of you who have had and still having horrible weather back in the UK are OK and not had too much damage caused.
To all in pain or suffering for whatever reason I hope your days get better soon. To everyone please take care and stay safe.
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. Love the way you get the dies to work together and it works all the times. Could be made in many colour ways. You could make a couple of them without the sentiment and then you have a one ready just to add the sentiment when you need it, which i often do when i really like a card, which is nearly everyday lol. Congrats to all the comment winners. Hope you are having a great time at the CHA shows. Hoping you have some lovely pics from the shows and you will share some of them with your followers when the time is right and i am sure there will be some new craft items on your return to the uk. Sending big hugs to your mom, as i am sure she misses you when you are in the uk so i hope you both have some great times when your work is done on the shows. Take care all in this horrible weather.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.

ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
When I looked at the card I thought how extravagant with all the rhinestones but then having read several comments about the pound shop I will let you off!!
ReplyDeleteI do find the middle strip a bit fussy but the overall look is as stunning as ever.
Anne (Northampton)
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card!
Your borders are brilliant, I simply adore them. I am currently using the new Scandinavian Border which is so versatile and gorgeous.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDelete"Thank you for Everything" ... you do for us!!
Brilliant card love the concept. Feel the middle is a bit too fussy for me but that's ok we can cope with that. Great colour combo.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners. Is there another "Hazel Evans" or will my sister be doing a "happy dance" round the house.
Have a wonderful day
Hugs

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry, but this one is not for me, it's a bit too fussy, I think if the middle section wasn't there I would have liked it.
Winners enjoy your prize.

Stunning card sue love it like June says it can be made up and wait for a sentiment love to all June xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card. I love the French borders and corners set and have made some beautiful cards with them. I think I will be having a go at this one as I have a card to make for my cousin's birthday.
Congratulations to the winners especially Wheely Bad.
Norah, great to see you back and it sounds as though you had great fun at the panto and that it brought back very happy memories too.
Well, the winds have died down somewhat so I managed to get some sleep last night thankfully - I'm hopeless if I don't get enough sleep, just feel like a zombie all day! Have a lovely day everyone and hope that anyone without electricity in Scotland manages to get it back quickly. Stay safe and warm everyone. Love Alison xxx
Today's card is a little to fussy for my taste,I think its the middle section that over does it.

Lovely card! I do love the French border die and corner ( a real favourite) and used often.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda, Myra and Yorkielass June we are now back to normal and fortunately have had no snow yet, although the children are desperate for a snowy day And I have to admit I do love watching the snow falling , when it's dry and swirling ( quite magical ) !
Congratulatios to the comment winners , enjoy your prizes!
Great to see you back Norah , I do agree Glasgow humour and banter is the best! I do miss going to the Panto ,we used to go every year and loved all the hissing and booing etc, so glad you enjoyed it.
Sue, do you have a show coming from CHA?
Love and hugs to all xo
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love this card. Aren't your border dies so versatile. This is just another way of using them. Black and White looks so stunning. Hope that the windy weather has treated you well. I know that you've had bad storms up in Scotland. Hugs to all in need of won today.

Today's card has a lovely Lacey look to it. I am not sure about the Middle section, will have to have another look at it, but having said that, I really do like this card.
Congratulations to each and every one of the comment winners.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteI think mono is always so striking. It is good to see how a border die can be used in a different way and the effects you can get by how you place them. Thanks for sharing. Congrats to the winners.
Best wishes
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Very elegant and delicate looking in black & white. Congratulations to the lucky winners.
ReplyDeleteGood Sunday Morning Sue & Friends,
ReplyDeleteWell Sue today's card is a little bit 'oh la la' for some reason that die reminds me of petticoat lace, it's just so pretty. Sue are you exhibiting at CHA or visiting? Either way have fun, I would love to go. Hugs xx
Jess (Watson) thank you for stopping by my blog, I am glad you liked my cards, I hope to see you stop by again soon, I am trying to blog everyday! Xxx
Janet, that sounds the same in our house, although since becoming disabled Paul has had to do a lot more in the kitchen and he has picked it up really, the family loves his Roast Potatoes, although I gave to say 'he did learn from the master' haha ! How many weeks are you staying this visit? It's funny that he calls you his 'security blanket' that's exactly what I call Paul when we leave the house, I get so anxious, he calms me down, that's why. Hugs xxx
Norah, oh my goodness I am over the moon that you are back, your first story of the year had my smiling, thank you my lovely friend. I look forward to your daily stories about life! Welcome home xxxxxxxxx
Well I saw some pictures on fb yesterday from Spellbinders and there was a new die cutting machine in one of the pictures, I commented and asked what it was and was told that it's called 'platinum' and to watch this space! So keep your eyes out, it looked like it had fold down flaps on either side and a thicker plate.
Congratulations comment game winners, Wheely I bet
you are jumping for you, enjoy your gifts xxx
Well the Sunday chores are calling, I must go and see what they are all up to,

Good afternoon, Sue. Late commenting as I wasn't getting the picture of your card up. Again it's a stunning use of your wonderful dies. Now I don't know if you have got another Hazel Evans or it is myself, if I have won again, then I thank you, if not then congratualions to the other Hazel Evans and of course all the other winners.
ReplyDeleteHazel x
Morning Sue, todays card is very different. Not sure its my cup of tea but great use of the dies. Kind regards Joanne K x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous. I have a ton of border dies and never know quite what to use them for other than borders! Thanks for the inspiration Sue.
ReplyDeleteVery different
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHope it's nice and warm and sunny where you are. It's dull and windy here.
Well that's the weather summary over. Lol!
I like today's card but I don't love it. Sorry I hate saying that - I think the centre panel is too busy for me. However I very rarely don't love your cards so maybe todays confession is ok?
Last night I cut out out lots of your lovely butterflies - they really cut like a dream. I also cut out the borders and corners you used in today's card.
All ready now to construct a masterpiece! Ha ha!
Sunday is a busy day so must go.
Norah- lovely to see you back. Take care!
Love to all,
Many congratulations to today's winners, Wheely really pleased for you!

ReplyDeleteFantastic card today Sue, thank You! Love Macky
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue and the Wonderful Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteWOW Sue, this is literally a stunning card that just sparkles and twinkles at you. The rhinestones just put it up in to the elegance bracket and that anyone should be honoured to receive as this is more of a gift than just a card, but there again all your cards we think are more gifts than any other that you can buy. Thank you for bringing such beauty to us yet again Sue and making so many people happy.
Oh i was fair cheered up today when i seen the lovely Wheely Bads name along with Hazel amongst the other ladies. I know that you will probably be so excited from seeing your name and it will do you the world of good Wheely, have fun when your prize arrives.
I know you are all missing my weather reports from my beloved Ochil Hills so i will tell you that they look like they have all had icing sugar shook on them and they have been a tad heavy handed, but as long as it stays up on them as a blanket it is fine by me as i don't like the soggy slushy blankets that cover our ground from time to time, although it would be nice for it to have a blanket of white on the grassy hills and playing places for the children to play old fashioned things like snowball fights and building snowmen and sledging as was the games of a lot of our youth. The children seem to be allergic to going outside for the strange stuff called fresh air nowadays.
My lovely son came home on Friday with the wee side table that he made while at Alva Academy and it is beautiful. He hasn't got one rough bit on it because he has sanded it so well and he has made tongue and groove joints instead of glue. The only part that is screwed is the top to the bottom frame. One really impressed mum here that finally thinks that one of her children will fall into the land of hand crafting at least with the same skill that I, mum, dad and papa had for eye to detail and finish. Ok i will stop blawing my boys' trumpet, but one very proud mum.
Oh how nice it is to be back feeling a bit more myself and being able to post on our beautiful friends blog again. Thank you my Angels for all your kindness this past wee while as it has kept me just above the sinking point. You are a wonderful bunch of happiness and thoughtfulness. Sending you all crafty hugs and love and thanks just for being yourselves.

Sunday smiles to you Sue. When is a border not a border ? When its designed and added as a background by our Sue.. Would never ever had thought about using it like that, but that's no great suprise really I suppose !
ReplyDeleteWell done to each and everyone of you loyal ladies that deserve seeing your name as winners today. Enjoy your gift when it arrives.
Sending love to our friends not upto blogging today, hope tomorrow is a better day. Lynn M - missing your doggie tails and you, please come home soon. TOB hope all is ok ?

Your card is very elegant looking.
ReplyDeleteIt has a smokey color to it...
Well done Sue
Your off to a good start with your cards for 2015.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA card with one of my favourite die sets, so nothing I don't like! I'm a lover of bling too! While I adore the shaped dies and background dies you can't beat borders- or striplets for tgat matter for versatility, stacked as the main feature, frames, borders, ribbons, even quilling them like the spellbinders flowers- this set both the border and the corners do a sterling job if you don't have many/ any flower dies. This one reminds me a bit of 1920's art deco too. Definitely on the shortlist for my first card of 2015 (good thing the first three to four months of the year are littered with birthdays but come next month I'll have probably seen another 25 I have to do!
What a nice surprise to be picked out and even lovelier is the kind wishes I've had. I couldn't dance too much as I'd just had some lunch and I'd had a certain four legged friend on my lap. I shall pop a couple of (careful) celebratory wheelies when I go back to printing off my 'evidence'! Just as lovely was to see Norah's name while I did a quick catch up of Saturday just now. It's lovely to have you back Norah! And to read of what a talented carpenter you have! An eye for detail and the drive to get things right are highly prized attributes in such crafts. Mr W gets so annoyed inside at the young people at the college he works at not wanting too/ being bothered about putting in the effort to learn to do things properly. I have a little jewellery box one of my brothers made me at high school. I love it dearly so I appreciate a little of how you feel. Your story of the panto was great. I loved the Krankies- still do, still find them funny! Seriously though I'm so glad you're back with us as I love to hear about your hills. Hugs to you and Rory xxx
Late congratulations to Maria Alder for winning yesterday and congratulations to everyone elso who won today.
I hope everyone in the area hit worst by the weather is ok, that if they lost electricity they were reconnected quickly. By the way, what heroes those guys and gals are that do that job! Often up pole when it's still very windy, the dangers are a risk assessment gold mine! The way they respond to weather damage all over the country is amazing and a good number go overseas to help after weather or other natural disasters. I think they are pretty unsung and if anyone deserves a slap on the back they do.
Sue, I hope CHA is as amazing as it sounds! If you are there... enjoy!
I must go, football is nearly over and this evidence won't do itself! It'd help if they'd told me from the off to keep track, keep reciepts etc I shall be making suggestions to them about this as it's so hard to have to chase stuff back. I've had a nice couple hours break so on we go.
Hugs to all Wilsonettes, especially if you need one. Happy Sunday and happy crafting
Love,

Hi Sue loving the black and white today and the beautiful French boarder, one of my favourites. I must take a trip to the pound shop to look for these rhinestones , they look great. Just got home after my husbands company's Christmas bash in Bournemouth last night - they hold it January so we have something to look forward to. Had a lovely blow along the seafront before we returned home this morning. Hope everyone suffering from the bad weather is ok and hope you have power again soon. Take care love Diane G xxx

Hi Sue

Norah, lovely to read your news. We took the family and Anthea & Jake to a pantomime after Christmas. It was Cinderella with Brian Conley & Gok Wan,what a fabulous day out that was too. I think that was just what you needed. XX
Congratulations to the winners Especially to Hazel & Wheely Bad!!!
Kind regards to all :-)

You have made me look at borders in a whole new way!! I didn't used to like them but now I LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Today's card is very pretty and lacey. The French border dies create a very unique background. I really love this effect. I do not yet have these dies. Another "must have" die set !! Just beautiful !! I love your black and white monochrome colour combo. I could imagine this card looking just as lovely in other colours to.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it. Sending you lots of love and hugs from Tres x x x

Good evening Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhilst I'm normally a great fan of black/white cards sadly, I don't think this one's for me. Congratulations to all of today's winners and Sue, I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening (what's left of it!)
