Hi guys! How is this one for different? From frilly to a grungey-ish distressed sewing card. One of the die sets that is on the shows are Sewing Elements by Nina Brackett. Sewing stuff is very popular at the moment and these have been so much fun to play with too. I got to pull out my stash of fun buttons for this one! My background paper was kraft card that was printed with a ruler background so I just had to use it! I did a bit of stamping behind it with some new sewing stamps that are on the show too. The ornate scissors are part of that set and I stamped and cut them out and mounted them up a bit. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the new Swatch label set. I used the thread die to cut it out and wrapped it with some twine. I added a piece of hessian across the background and a selection of matching buttons to create a sort of sewing collage piece. I finished it off with a big bow from one of my favourite new ribbons, our striped grosgrain. Not to have a naked bow, I topped it with a large black button and a piece of natural twine. I did distress all the edges of my card with my scissors, hopefully giving it a more vintage look (at least that was the plan!) Not my usual style, but I hope you like it! The shows start today at noon so I hope you will tune in to see the rest of the samples! All for now, Sue x

WOW. I wouldn't do something like this as it's not really me but not everything can nor should be. I love the colour the seemingly erratic higgledepiggledy placement of all the embellishments. I'd think that this took you some time to do but I've seen you on C&C so I'm not sure. Keep it up!!!

In My pre cardmaking time (or lately cutting lots of dies with no plan but they're there when I need them sort of plan)I used to sew and my friends still do so these would be great to send them.
Looking forward to the shows today Sue, thanks in anticipation.Mabex
Another wonderful card.

Morning Sue and Everyone. I must admit I don't like the grunge style but for those that do it's a lovely card judging by todays comments. See you later.
Hi Sue, love this card, would be great for my seamstress friend's birthday coming up shortly. I could'nt wait for your show so went on to c & c to buy those gorgeous dies, but they are only selling them in sets again, can't afford that so really disappointed,will have to look elsewhere for them now.
love jan x
What an unusual card so, so different from your style and yet with a true Sue Wilson flair. Love it .x

huge crafty hugs,
Sandra x
Now, Sue these stamps were just meant for me. As a dressmaker & Cross-stitcher, I definately need them. Off to check the money man. Have a great day and I'm so looking forward to the shows. Hugs Rita xxx
Morning Sue
This is a not your usual pretty card, didn't used to like the shabby look but it is growing on me and I do like this one. Can't wait for 12 o'clock, will be glued to the TV for all your shows. Love Jean x
you have done it again....come up with a totally new stunning idea. Cant wait for the shows later, pennies a bit tight at the mo so will have to behave myself and just watch. xx
Oooh Sue this is really different- Im not sure that its my style but i think I will give some time to trying this type of card out.
Thanks Sue, have a great day
Love it!!
Whatever you do, Sue, always turns out beautifully :)

Hi Sue. I really like this card but I can never bring myself to give my cards that scuffed edge look. Maybe I just like neat edges too much. Got the timer set for all the shows today and cant wait for all the ideas and demos. Karen x
will be watching today sue cant wait x
Good Morning Sue !
I will have to visit the garden centre to get twine, and Hessian to make this lovely card.
Looking forward to the POTW !
Love Marg
Morning Sue - it's gorgeous. I love the different elements you've included, makes for a really interesting card. Zo xx
Love the sentiment, but with the new postage rates I shall only make a card like this one where I can deliver by hand. At 60p for first class post, heaven knows what postage for a 'large' card will be!
Thank you, Sue, for more inspiration

Hi Sue,
I've got these dies and they are great to use with all the haberdashery papers and stamps that are about at the moment so thank you for sharing your ideas. Looking forward to 12 o'clock - washing done, beds remade, dusting and vacuuming done, tape set.....and breeeeeaaaaaaaathe.
love from Jackie D
Hi Sue. This is not just the ideal card for someone who sews, but also a really lovely collage that could be framed and displayed. Looking forward to the shows. Anne x
Morning Sue ....all set up with the recorder just hoping the stripy ribbon is on sometime this week as I love it!!! the card is a wonderful collage and for a crafty friend perfect! good luck with the shows take care Margaret

Hi Sue
I love this card, grungy but still a work of art,
Nearly time for your first show on C & C , hope your ready!
Janet
This is an incredible card, Sue. Really beautiful and I adore it.
I've not been able to get on for a few days, but the last few cards have really been lovely. Keep them coming!
xx
A very different card today, but a beauty none the less. Good luck for today. :)
Hi Sue,
Love the card and it's sent me right down memory lane as the ornate scissors are the sort that were in all little girl's sewing boxes when I was young and were the only kind I owned. Now they're vintage!
And I do wish I'd still got some of the hessian sacks my dog biscuits came in (by train!)to craft with, but in those days we stuffed them with hay to make comfy cushions for dog baskets and when they wore out they ended up in the compost heap.
Thanks for the memories!
Looking forward to watching the shows very much - not long now! Sue x
What a wonderful card Sue.
Felicie
Good morning Sue, Fabulous card. love the grungey look, your ideas are amazing. Will be watching the show at noon, not long to go now lol. Have a great time and can't wait to see the samples.
Hugs June x
Hi Sue, Love the card as i bought these stamps from Sam after they came out and have not had many ideas to do the cards with, many thanks for the inspiration. Yvonne xx
I love the grunge of this card. Haberdashery is so suited to cards.

WOW totally different for you Sue.
Machine set ready for all today's shows but will deffo be watching too LOL
Linda x

Once again you have surprised me with this fun card. Very cool... I have already ordered way too many dollars worth of items from the show, so I can't wait for delivery and watching you on TV... cheers m'dears....

Crafting hugs, ness x
I have the show recording as I type, that way I can look at it again and again. This card is not my style but I can see the appeal for those who like the grungy style. You do all types of card well Sue which shows off exactly how talented you are.
Hi Sue, have just tuned in to the first show of POTW looking forward to your demos!! Although this card is different to your usual style I like the way you've put it together with all the buttons.You are an inspiration to us all because you can adapt anything you are given to use to make a lovely card...Have a great week at CR&CR...am recording all the shows..:)..xx
It may be slightly different for you but it is still amazing, I love that sewing theme and the slightly grungy look. The ribbon is fab.
Another great card Sue. Just had a look at the noon show, wonderful dies so far, going to watch more now
A gorgeous card. I love sewing themed creations as they remind me of my Mum. She is a gifted seamstress and we were surrounded by fabric, buttons, sewing things while we were growing up.
Nikki x
It's hard to believe *you* actually did this one :-D It's so not your style. I love it though, being a bit of a sewist myself I appreciate the whole theme.
Oooh this is right up my street! Am watching you at the moment Sue, and your samples are soooo beautiful - have had to order my goodies before I looked at your blog though. I especially liked this card as I have been dressmaking for more years than I care to remember and anything to do with sewing is a definite 'yes' for me. Can't wait for the next card!!!
Hugs from a blissful Sue!
Watching you on C&C the first show, I had to order some things !!!!!This card is so different but I really really like it, again I wonder where all your ideas come from, fantastic. Have some great shows, think a hug Liz x
I looked at the sewing dies and though How would you use them and then I check your blog today and see such a beautiful card. Watching the show now, and trying hard not to overspend.
I have just watched the POTW and these cards, and products, are exceptional as usual.
Thanks Sue.

Love all your cards Sue.Just heard your blog address on C&C will be a frequent visitor. Always look forward to your shows. Sheila.x
Have just logged on to your blog and requested a daily email. Your cards are fantastic and can't wait to try them all. I have only just got my spellbinder machine and it's great.
Am off top Florida soon and have already got my uncle to purchase some grand dies.
Love, love love them all.
I have come to the conclusion that there is nothing you do that I don't love! This one is going on my favorites list! I love every inch of it - no pun intended :)
Love the colours on this card and the way you have put so many items together with such a great result

I love the sewing theme cards. The card wrapped in twine is awesome,

Hi Sue, great to see you again on our screens. Have been on hospital for a few days so have a lot of catching up to do. Love the card although it's not really my style, I think a bit fussy. Love yesterday's card, that one is more for me. Best wishes, Lesley x

Hi Sue,
Just finished work and managed to catch last part of the seven o'clock show, all the sample cards are beautiful, missed the POTW set 2, but ordered POTW set 1, as I have all of set 3. The last few posts with the new dies are stunning as usual, love the sewing card, Love all you do, keep them coming, lol.
So glad you are back

Fabulous card Sue, my favourite style of cardmaking. Enjoying all your shows!!!
This is very different and has given me food for thought!
What a great collection!
I love the vintage look :)
Fantastic card. I love the current trend for sewing embelishments & the vintage look.
WOW WOW WOW loved your shows today Sue, such fab dies and your demos and samples are stunning. Looking forward to the rest of the weeks shows just hope the potw's dont sell out too soon so they cancel the shows for the rest of the week. xx hazel
I love the colour scheme the ribbon is fabulous,once again a winning card. Is there no end to your talent
This is an amazing card Sue. Just love the grungy look and your use of embellishments. Will have to have a look for these stamps.
Vicki :)
Evening Sue, love this card, been watching your demos on C + C they are great. take care vanessa xx
A very different card for you Sue, not sure if it's one that I would make but nevertheless very impressive. Love the striped ribbon. I really enjoyed the two programmes that I watched on TV today, well done. Would have liked some of the dies but can't afford such an enormous outlay at this moment. as they are not available individually, I'll have to look elsewhere. Well done to you, good 'performances'
Toni xx
yet another amazing card i just wanted to thank you sue as i won a card that nyou made today on C&C cant wait to receive it
This would be perfect for my mother, sister and me -- as well as lots of friends who sew. It's out of this world cute!
Truly lovely card, particularly fond of that stripy ribbon ;)
Have watched your shows today. Once again you've shown us how much can be achieved with the right tools and materials. Wish I could have all the dyes but the ones I have do so much more now that I've watched the expert! Thank you once again.
Grimsby Chris
hi sue glad to see you back uk really busy shows put in an order want them now will have to wait hayho.take care love from scotland.
Hi Sue, what a fab card, I saw it on your show today aswell, love the layout and style. Wow to the bow, its a definate giant! Helen O xxx
Hi Sue, I love all the cards you made in today's shows and can't wait to have a go at some myself. You are a true inspiration. Thank you for al the wonderful ideas and products. Happy crafting Julie xx
Hi Sue,
I really love your frilly, girlie cards but after seeing this card today and the others on the show I think you have a talent for more than you give yourself credit for. I especially love the blue card with the pin cushion, houndstooth BP and actual stitching, it is gorgeous (and the new camera guy did a good job of the close up didn't he!).
You had so many beautiful cards on the shows that I was in awe. You must have worked everyday of your break with mum to prepare them all, so I'd like to thank you very much from all your grateful followers. I know you have to do them as part of the job, but you always seem to go the extra mile in making them really special for us by giving us lots of variety of style and usage. The inspiration is astounding.
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Regards and best wishes Linda x
Very fun!

Congratulations once again Sue you really do inspire everyone. The new dies are stunning, looking forward to the rest of your demos. Edwina

This is definitely my sort of card. Just getting into patchwork so love the sewing theme.

Evening Sue,
I have found your site at last I watch you every time you are on Create & Craft and now I will be able to get more inspiration from you on line. I have got both the Cuttlebug and recently purchased the Grand Calibure, I think these tools are the best thing since sliced bread. I know some people proffer the electronic cutting machines but I think there is nothing to beat designing your own designs and doing it yourself. I will be looking in on you daily, thanks for all your hard work.
Regards
Vanessa
Just my type of card, really nice, Sue
Hi Sue, Wonderful card you always inspire with your beautiful cards what I would give to be half as good as you.
Hi Sue yet another wonderful creation what I wouldn't give to be half as good as you.
Hi Sue,
What a really outstanding card. But there again I love all your cards.
Love & Hugs
Lesley xxxxx
HI Sue, this is a real piece of work. just my style. will try it out as soon as i get my order from CnC
Bali Wimbledon. x
I have these dies and just love what you did with them! I've been wondering what to do with burlap now you've given me an idea. Love it!!! Mimi
I love this! I have just bought my first die cut machine and dies and have been watching your shows for inspiration. Have got the Indigo Blu sewing stamps and have been trying to do something similar - but yours is so much more 'finished' than mine!
