Orphan Cards


Hi bloggers!  Happy New Year's Eve!  Last year I put up my orphan card post and thought I'd make this an annual thing.   By "orphan cards" I mean those cards that I made that I haven't felt were either good enough or just didn't come out like I had envisioned so they were never blogged.  So they are, in effect, orphans.  Last year I drew a name from the list of those who left comments about the cards to win the cards and give them a home (so they were no longer orphaned!)  If you feel like you can give a loving home to these poor cards, then please leave me a comment.  I will draw a name and announce the winner on Wednesday's post.  Have a safe and wonderful new year's eve!  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
A very Happy New Year to you and your family, and I hope 2013 will be kind to you.
What a lovely idea to give your orphan cards a good home, I must say I would be honoured to receive any of these cards. You have been such an inspiration to me with your beautiful card making ideas, and if I were to receive one of these cards it would take place in my newly acquired craft room.
Love and best wishes Linda xxx

These cards are stunning Sue and I would be so proud to receive and treasure them. A very Happy New Year to you and all your family. Love and hugs. Hilary xxxx

Unknown said...

Hi Sue ,
How can even think of them as orphans? They are all so lovely I would be proud to call them my children.
Hope you have a good New Year and already looking forward to all you're new creations in 2013.

I can't believe any of these would be put into an "orphan" category !!

Happy New Years Eve to you too Sue, as has been said before I can not see why any of your cards would be orphans, they are all beautiful, and all are good for one occassion or another. You are so talented, I just wish I could come up with a quater of the inspiration that you have... I am looking forward to lots of new cards and ideas from you in 2013, and I am keeping my fingers crossed for a better year, as I lost my father, two horses and two dogs this year.

Happy New Year Sue and to your family. Really love all the orphan cards, especially the red/black/taupe one with red roses, and would love to receive that one and put it on my mantlepiece every birthday. If my name gets picked can I have it please...lol. Looking forward to seeing you on C & C again soon.

Hi Sue
I wish my "orphan cards" were as good as yours - mine are only fit for the recycling bin!! Hope you have a great year new year and thank you for all of your inspiration.

Jude said...

Happy New Year Sue and to all your readers!
You have extremely high standards if none of these were considered good enough! I think they are lovely and would be honoured to adopt your orphans lol x

Christine Harrop said...

All such beautiful cards. I would be happy to adopt any of these beauties!!! Looking forward to much more inspiration in 2013! love from Christine x

Louise said...

Sue, They are all so beautiful (as usual). My favourites are the Iris card in pretty purple and the 'you colour my world' with the cut out swirls.
Hope you have a good New Year, I'm looking forward to the inspiration you'll bring in 2013.

Glass Daisy said...

Hi Sue, first of all....A Happy New Year to you and your family. The orphans will find happy homes amongst us all I am sure. They all have possibilities, but I can see why you have rejected them. If one flys my way, it will find a good home lol.
God Bless you Sue, and I look forward to sharing your inspiring work next year.

Barbara said...

Can you please add me on the adoption list as I would love any one of your cards as they are all beautiful.
Happy new year and looking forward to seeing you on C&C soon!!!

Glass Daisy said...

Hi Sue,
A Happy New Year to you and your family. The orphans are all beautiful, although I can see why you rejected them....your standard is so high. They all have possibilities and I would gladly give them a home. Thanks for all of your inspirational cards this year Sue, and I can't wait to see what the New Year brings.

Sue, just love watching you on c&c wish you were on more.
Love your orphan cards.

JoanB said...

Hi Sue,
A lovely selection of cards today. I particularly like "I believe in you and you colour my world." It's reassuring to hear that someone as talented as you can sometimes make a card that doesn't turn out quite like you wanted or expected. I look forward to your blog everyday. Happy new year to you and your family.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Joan B.

Unknown said...

Sue, this is my first time on commenting on your lovely cards.
I love to watch you on c&c just wish you were on more often.
Best wishes for the coming year.

Unknown said...

Wishing you a happy new year, sue. Your orphan cards are certainly a diverse bunch but they are all lovely. I would be more than happy to "adopt" them. Keep up the good work in 2013!

Linda Simpson said...

Tracey said...

Hi Sue

I love your blog and visit every day but I am usually a lurker rather than a commenter but couldn't let your orphan's go by without feeling loved by receiving another comment :-)

I love the dots around the edge of the black and grey card but the one I would love and use first is the last one - I know just the person who needs a bit of TLC at the moment and this card would be perfect to send

Beset wishes for 2013 - may it bring you happiness, good health and lots of professional success

Crafty Nanna said...

Oh Sue, I can't believe that these are orphan cards, they are gorgeous, I would be so proud to be able to display these. I am lucky in that I already have one of your most beautiful cards.

Happy New Year to you and hope 2013 is a good one for you

Hugs Lynn

Christine said...

Hmm, I see what you mean, very substandard cards, I should be embarrassed to admit to them......NOT! My 'less good' cards should be as bad, they'd be much improved.
Happy New Year!
Thank you for everything, Sue

Unknown said...

Happy New Year. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year filled with much love and joy. I like to say that my cards are inspired by Him, however your wonderful creativity has filled my head with wonderful beginnings. Where there is love there is beauty. Thank you for all the love you have shared in your cards. They are a thing of beauty and I have yet to find one I didn't like. I'm sure your orphans will find a good home. (I sure wouldn't mind giving them a home.) To whoever wins, Congrats.

The Orphan Cards would be by no means anything near "bad" for me! It's just that you have such high standards, Sue!! I would love to recieve any of the cards, as they're so beautiful.

Take care,

mandy burnell said...

Oh my word Sue....these are gorgeous, if I had made any one of these I would be a very happy person.
I absolutely love your style of card making and although we each have our favourite techniques, I tend to follow a similar (but far less grand) style as yours. I don't buy printed embellishments as I love starting off with just card, patterned paper and my Spellbinders..I love to see what my cards turn out like. It is so rewarding and I only started 14 months ago. Thank you so much for the tutorials and the inspiration. Happy and Healthy New Year to you and your family. x

Angela Wade said...

Hi Sue, these "Orphaned cards" are wonderful. I can't imagine why you didn't think they'd turned out as good as you would've liked. If you have any of these "Orphans" or "Orphans" from this year, 2013, that need adopting, please consider me a suitable adoptive parent. I would be honoured and would love the opportunity to give them a good home.

Please can you post instructions of how you do your beautiful ribbon 'Double Bows'. Mine never look as good. I saw you do them on TV earlier on in the year, but can't remember your technique.
Many thanks, and a Merry Christmas to you and your family,

Angela in Swansea.
P.s Loved the demos with you and Kim on C&C on Sunday
