A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! I really like this simple card and I was hoping to show you a different idea to use with your embossing folders too! I started with a piece of white card and stamped my sentiment in the lower left hand corner. The sentiment is one of the lovely scripts from JustRite's Grand Sentiments set. Next I embossed a piece of blue card using the Couture Creation folder called Melody. Using a pair of scissors, I cut beneath the scroll work, following along the pattern. I used a fine grit sandpaper to soften the cut area a bit. I taped it to my white base piece, skewing it to the right. Next I stamped the beautiful butterfly from the set in the upper corner of my blue card using a black archival ink pad. I stamped it again, but this time on plain vellum. I cut it out and glued it above my stamped image, allowing the wings to be pushed up a bit. I added pearls to the body as an accent. Next I cut a spiral blossom three from blue felt, rolled it and added it to the corner of my embossed piece. I added a pearl to the centre of my flower. Using the swirl from the Jewelled Flowers and Flourish set, I cut two white ones and added them to the side of my card above my flower for interest. I pierced my black mat to set a frame around my card and complete it. I hope you will be able to see similar uses in some of your embossing folders. Remember you can always use pieces rather than the entire whole to create unique looks for your card projects. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, what can I say but WOW. Lol Lynne M & fur babies x x x Ps Fur Babies love the snow , the only way to get them back in from the garden is to pick them up and carry them in ( once chased round garden and caught !!!!!!)
GM Sue - I am not sure about this one - there's something I like about it and something I dont but I cant put it into words at the moment! Maybe after a coffee or two and I've had a few more looks at it....
Snow here - came yday pm - more on way - an ideal crafting weekend - hooray!
CHA goodies delivered yday - gota try shell beauty EF today - managed to get some of that foil tape from local builders merchants (didn't tell them what I wanted it for or they'd have thought I was mad most probably) so gona try with that. Adorning square dies look v. interesting - can't wait to see what ideas you'll come up with for those. Rgs Clare W
Hi Sue. A lovely, simple card in my favourite colours. What's not to like! The Justrite Grand sentiment stamps are fantastic. They are top of my wish list. Soak up that sunshine and relax with your Mom. Take care.
Simply stunning Sue. Love the simplicity of this card and the flower. I have tried using felt in my die cutting but without success so is there a knack? x
Morning Sue, simple maybe but very effective, this card is beautiful and the blue against the white is striking. As always you have give inspiration, have agood day
This may be a simple card (in your view) Sue but it is beautiful and so elegant. I love the embossing. They say less is more and here it definitely is. Have a lovely day.
morning Sue Simple but simply beautiful. I love the colour and the way you have used the embossed piece. I can see me trying this technique on other folders ie botanicals and butterflies. I have an anniversary card to make and have already made two but am not happy with either of them so your idea is next. Thank you. Janet x
Such a pretty card, and I do love it when you feature dies/stamps that I already have. In this case, I'm currently waiting for the Stamps to arrive, so I'll be able to do something similar in a matter of days. Thank you again.
Hi Sue Lovely card, I like how you have cut the embossed background, it really sets it off. I seem to use that swirl more than anything. As usual, love your flower Audrey x
Hi Sue love this card as some one else said less is more .it is the kind of card i would do,not too fussy,and liked the cut out part never thought of doing that. Love Marion
Hi Sue Another beautiful card your inspirations just keep coming. Blue is not one of my favourite colours but I think you are slowly persauding me. Perhaps like you I should think out the box! Jennywren x
Morning Sue What can I say another lovely stunning card. You amaze me with your great ideas to show a different effect with the embossing folders. Enjoy warm USA I am staying in the warm crafting today - looks like it may be all weekend. Hugs Carolx
Hi Sue This is a beautiful clean looking card. I love the simplicity of the look and the lovely colours you have used make it very striking . Another winner. Love Jan x x
Good Morning Sue, Another beautiful card and another way to use embossing folders - everything is able to multi task. My butterfly stamps arrived yesturday and with the blanket of snow outside i think i will be crafting inside next to the log fire. TFS Hugs Amanda x
Lovely card Sue-the blue is a beautiful shade and is really striking against the white.I love doing the flowers in felt as they give another great dimension.Inspiring as usual Sue,take care,x.
Hi Sue, I'm not too keen on the colour but the design is lovely, particularly like what you have done with the butterfly. Thank you for sharing. Beverley W
I've seen you use this technique with an embossing folder before, and meant to try it, but forgot. So many lovely ideas, and I have such a sieve for a brain! I like it just as much this time, and shall definitely follow it. Thank you, Sue Christine x
Hi Sue, Love the results from the stamps- I've started building my collection of justrite stamps as they are just so gorgeous. Can't see myself using this technique- if my spellbinders don't cut the thing for me then I do my best to avoid it lol!
Hi Sue, Whilst I like the clean fresh look of the chosen colour this card doesn't sing to me I'm afraid. Have a lovely weekend - I'm not going anywhere like so many others as I can't get out! love from Jackie D
Morning Sue, I love the simplicity of this card. Like the blue but it would look just as good using any colour, so versatile. Thanks for all your great ideas. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hello Sue, What a treat today, this card is fabulous, love everything about it. The flower is gorgeous and must get that Melody folder. Thank you for your wonderful inspiration. Have a great day everyone. Hugs June xxx
Morning Sue, I love the card and what you have done with it, but, for me, there is too much expanse of deep blue, but the technique of cutting up parts of embossing folder impressions is a brilliant idea, I also love the butterfly with the vellum on top. I got the multibuy embossing folders yesterday, so will be trying them out this weekend, also I got the fragrant garden justrite stamp, so will be giving that a go, like your sample one, also got the samantha walker set which includes the dressform and the stamps, and will be trying that because I loved your card sample of that. I have just been out brushing all the snow off the paths this morning, don't want anyone having any accidents. Lots of love from Patricia.
Morning Sue, lovely card, simple but not so simple to do. I would never have thought about using embossing folders like this. Keep up the good work, take care , Jess x
Good morning. This is right up my street! Love the use of colour and many of the embossing folders would look great cut like that. I missed out on the stamps so will have to wait till they come back. Thank you for such a lovely idea this cold and snowy Saturday. xx
Hi Sue What a beauty I love this one.. You did this on an xmas card and as with this one it has made me look at all my folders in a totally different way Thank you Lizzie (serial copycat)xox

I love the simplicity of this card...the embossing folder is so pretty and you have used my fav swirl! I love it! Hope you're well Sue and family. Take care crea Lots of love, Aggie xxx
Hi Sue Not too sure about this one - sorry. I love the colours,the butterfly, the swirl, the felt flower and the Justrite sentiments are gorgeous. I think it's the fact that the embossed bit is stuck on top that I don't like particularly.
I absolutely love this blue butterfly card here Sue. I love butterflies and blue´s my favorit color, so what more can I wish for? Stunnng work as always hun.
I love everything about this card - and it shouldn't take too long to achieve - that's if you have the embossing folder, which I don't - but wished I did! X
Hi Sue this card is lush and very different,the blur is a stunning colour and I love the butterfly and love the way you used the embossing folder and then cut it,thank you for the inspiration Smiles Ita
Hi Sue I love this card I never thought of using just a portion of the embossing I love it and will be trying it thank you for the inspiration Sue Take Care Theresa x
Hi Sue, Lovely, lovely blue! Please, can we have this along with some Parisian/midnight blue as a pack of your extended 'basic doubles'? I know you are working really hard on card colour research and I thank you for that. Beautiful card today with lots of outside-box thinking. With reference to C&C broadcasts from CHA, I have been surprised at the 'typical' American cards shown from the Spellbinder stand: the size and therefore the overloaded appearance. Perhaps I have just been lucky enough to consider Sue Wilson as a Spellbinder Guru. Or perhaps I, too, should start thinking outside the box? I have been re-running my year-old recordings of your demos and still believe that your elegant, immaculate interpretations of Spellbinders are classics and worth a great deal to all of us as inspiration. Thank you for that! Give my love to Mom and wish her Good Health and great enjoyment of your visit to her. Lis xx
A lovely cas card. Love the effect of cutting off the bottom area from the embossed topper - must give this a go..... My goodies from CHA arrived today - I am one happy crafter. Happy crafting. Hugs Heather x

Hi Sue Lovely card, love the stamped butterfly on vellum. I tried it before but I embossed it and the embossing kept falling off, I think I cut too close to the edge. Love Marion x

Hi sue what a smashing card i love butterflies, what a great boost to such a bad day for me stopping by your blog as its normaly in a morning but been busy still packing for our move . bye for now sarah ..xx
Hi Sue, What a beautiful blue! Love the cut out embossing - must look through my other folders for more that I could do with them. Love the vellum butterfly too, so delicate. Hope you're having a good weekend, Sue xx

Hi Sue,
Lovely, lovely blue! Please, can we have this along with some Parisian/midnight blue as a pack of your extended 'basic doubles'?
I know you are working really hard on card colour research and I thank you for that.
Beautiful card today with lots of outside-box thinking.
With reference to C&C broadcasts from CHA, I have been surprised at the 'typical' American cards shown from the Spellbinder stand: the size and therefore the overloaded
appearance. Perhaps I have just been lucky enough to consider Sue Wilson as a Spellbinder Guru.
Or perhaps I, too, should start thinking outside the box?
I have been re-running my year-old recordings of your demos and still believe that your elegant, immaculate interpretations of Spellbinders are classics and worth a great deal to all of us as inspiration.
Thank you for that!
Give my love to Mom and wish her Good Health and great enjoyment of your visit to her.

More new ideas, thank you, the embossing folder is brilliant and the flower and flourish set the card off a treat!
Have a lovely weekend,

Hi Sue
Lovely card, love the stamped butterfly on vellum. I tried it before but I embossed it and the embossing kept falling off, I think I cut too close to the edge.
Love Marion x
