Hello my crafty friends! I am still floating on air from the incredible response to Saturday's blog post! Thank you so much to those of you that have been dropping in for some time now as well as all the new names and faces I saw. I do hope that you will continue to join in with daily comments! I was thinking about it this weekend and have come to realise that I love doing my blog so much because you seem to respond in kind. I know that you do stop by to read it because of the lovely comments you take the time to leave. When I first came to the UK, I didn't really know anyone and my blog has allowed me to make so many new friends that it turned out to be a lifeline of sorts for me also. So I may not say it enough but I do truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to stop by and letting me know that you have been by! Today's card is another one of those
Elegant Labels Four numbers, as I just could not put this set down! Now, I found this blue card in our warehouse and fell in love with the colour, however, have recently learnt that it is a discontinued colour. Not to worry, I am going to keep searching for something similar as I really love this shade (very wedgewoody). I cut the largest die in the set out of
coconut white card. Now, I wanted all three dies in the set to be lined up and cut, but I have found that when the dies are very detailed, it is easier to just cut one, then add in the next one and so forth so that is what I did. The middle die was then popped up on mounting foam for dimension after the inside die was removed. I stamped my sentiment in black archival ink on white card, then covered it with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and
micro beaded it for texture. I mounted my frame over it and trimmed away the excess so it didn't show through the detailed edge. I mounted this all on the pretty blue card to which I had added a pierced edge. I matted it all on a double white mat, which I added
white Cosmic Shimmer PVA glue dots as accents. Using some left bits of
white silky crush ribbon, I melted it with my heat tool and made a few flowers to add to the opposite corners of my frame for a tiny added touch. Sometimes, I like a lot of flowers and sometimes it just needs a small touch and this just felt like one of those times! I think it is because the die is so pretty already! Finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size.
Now for the winner of the Blogversary Giveaway of the 18 Stamps To Die For Range! The name that I have drawn from all the comments left is:
Brenda Lello!!!

Good Morning, Sue,
It is said that a genius is never recognised in his own lifetime.
Well, You have certainly proved this wrong!
Today's card once again proves that.
The blue card is well worth hunting for; however, a shade more towards midnight blue is currently my hunting aim.
I used your flowers on a christening card, but it turned our not nearly as beautiful as yours despite using two different heat tools.
Maybe, perhaps, when you are back among us soon, you could remind us about your trick(s), please.
Thank you for being our Friend!
Lis xx
Good morning muse,
One of my favourite Dies used for today's wonderful creation. Like the colour combo as well
Have a Great Day

Good morning Sue,
WOW!! Stunner of a card, both colours and dies. I use Elegant Labels 4 a lot and they never disappoint. Filigree delight is another one......... but here I have to stop, because I'd end up listing a lot more!
My, you have been getting a lot of comments on your birthday blog, AND WELL DESERVED, TOO.
I feel that you're a friend, too, as expressed very eloquently by baconbits. And far from being a chore, it's my absolute joy to open up your blog every morning and find out what delights you've come up with.
Also great for searching older posts/specific projects.
Enjoy your time with your mom but don't forget to come back to us - weather is getting warmer for you.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue
Gorgeous gorgeous card love those dies and that blue is beautiful so wedgewood......
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Good morning Sue - here is the first place I come to every morning, as I LOVE your style, and would miss it incredibly. I am dead envious of the winner, but then we couldn't all have the prize could we?
I was instantly struck that this card was very reminiscent of Wedgewood. I love anything blue and white - my kitchen walls are covered in blue/white plates, and one window is full of blue glass.
Hi Sue,
Couldn't agree more with Baconbits and Fieldsend. Well done to Brenda to. Love the colours of today's card and those lovely flowers See without you and your wonderful capacity to share we/I wouldn't know how to make them. I like putting them on cards as they lie flatter for postage.
Thank you.
Beverley W
This is just beautiful, and a wonderful sentiment xx
Hello Sue, Happy birthday, thank you for all the ideas and inspiration. This card is simply amazing, and the colour combo very striking. Congrats Brenda.Bx

Michelle(happy2craft)
GM Sue - love this - it's a must try although my flowers made from ribbon off cuts are a bit dodgy! so must practice these when I get a minute - ha! Congrats to Brenda also. At the weekend, I tried making a flower from the drop out pieces of the Grateful lattice - it's a passable for a first attempt but would love to see you demo this when you are on C&C next if that die is on the line up? A sunny warm week is forecast here - at long, long last!

Lovely comments today Sue, so glad that you're going to continue with the blog indefinitely!! Today's card is another real winner. I was also going to say that the colour was very Wedgewood. Blue isn't my favourite colour, but I do like this shade. I tried to make some of the heated ribbon flowers recently, and they weren't too bad!!
Good morning Sue,
Another wonderful card which the white and blue just set each other off beautifully. The differing cards that you have made for our delight from this one die is amazing and shows just how much usage you can make from one die for different results each time. Thank you Sue,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah x
Good Morning Sue. Ah, what a lovely comment. You obviously appreciate us as much as we appreciate you.

Hi Sue,
First congratulations to Brenda...as always the simplicity of this card oozes beauty. I love the new dies, I haven't tried the guilding wax yet, is it easy to use? I hope you could bring back the last POTW spellbinder dies and folders. Not the d Lites, I missed that collection and I do hope you could bring it back again! Thank you for this beautiful card.
Lots of live, Aggie xxx
Morning, Sue. You are also a kind of lifeline for me and I am sure it's the same for many of your lovely followers, you are my daily card inspiration and certainly my card making guru!! I can't imagine not having your blog with my morning coffee, life would not be the same LOL!
We are very lucky that you enjoy it because it must sometimes be hard to fit it all in to your day. So a big thank you from me xxxx
Morning Sue, I think everyone else has said everything so I will just say a very heartfelt thank you for everything and I mean everything. I love the card, hope you can source some more of the blue card. Love to your Mom, enjoy the rest of your stay.

Hello Sue!
Another sunny day here in Bristol!
Congrats to Brenda too!
When I read your intro, I thought you don't realise what an inspiration you are to us all! I don't usually buy a Die, until I see what you have done with it..so Spellbinders are lucky to have you !
So take care Sue we NEED you!
By the way LOVE the card!
LoveMarg
morning Sue
Another sunny morning here (oh should I have said that or have a put a jinx on it!!)never mind it's a good start to the week and especially with our beautiful gift for today.
I love everything that is blue/white and alwaysd have done - I think any shade of blue would be beautiful on here. I really love the format and as yet I have not tried fitting all of one die into each other - really must give this a go. The dies always look fantastic on my mag boards so you would think that would have given me the idea wouldn't you. Ah well thankfully I have Sue Wilson as my inspiration so she shows me the way.
Crafting day today -wonderful -.
Congratulations to today's winner hope you enjoy your good luck.

Hi Sue, it's so much fun being a 'Wilsonette' - good for the soul! Not got time to be grumpy when you inspire us to make beautiful cards like your post today. Then to top it off, we give the card to someone else and make their day. It means more in today's world to receive a hand- made card as Facebook, e-cards, email are all quicker and probably cheaper. People don't get to feel special very often in the fast moving world of today but sending them a card like today's does just that!
Hugs, Belinda. X
Hi Sue. Yes very Wedgewood and beautiful. SueL
I totally missed your blogversary on Saturday, but would like to add my congratulations, and very grateful thanks. Your blog is very much part of my day, and I rarely miss it, it always cheers me up when I'm feeling low, as well as inspiring my creativity. Long may it continue.
I like this card, the sentiment is perfect, the colours georgous, and the dies spot on.
Love from Jackie C XXX
Hi Sue. I am still in shock at being one of your blog winners yesterday !! Thank you so much because I never win any thing !! your cards yesterday where just fab. My favourite was the bird and birdcage card. I really love that background folder. Congratulations on your blog anniversary. You had some wonderful comments on Saturday. I really love today's card. That shade of blue is beautiful. I really think I should get this set of dies but I really love Radient rectangles too !! I can only get one set on payday and I am a terrible decision maker !! Thank you for all your hard work to bring us this wonderful blog. My day is not complete unless I have visited your blog !! Lots of love Tres x x x
Nice card, but not my favourite colour.

Went into our local Hobbycraft store - I own all the dies they sell and they have less than half the ones I own! oops
Sue I read your blog most days, especially when I am in work - at lunch time whilst I'm eating I'm checking you out! Yours is usually the first one I look at, so much inspiration and so classy - your cards are just in a class all of their own. Its lovely to consider you a 'friend' - keep inspiring us. Love this one today very much! also the bird cage one from yesterday. Joy xx

Hi Sue, happy belated anniversary on your blog. What a lovely blog you have written today, this is why people visit you daily, without fail. You seem like such a genuinely appreciative person, us crafters feel like we're the lucky ones to be able to read your blog and write comments to you. Can't wait to see you back on C & C, you've been gone far too long! I just love today's card, the colours are stunning. I bought the labels 4 a while back, it's probably my most used die, you can't fail to make a nice card with it. Take care, Karen Brass xx
Hi Sue, Wow! Chic, (is the spelling correct)! and stylish I absolutely adore this one. How lucky is Brenda, what a wonderful prize, Congratulations!

Hi Sue...I just love this die set...it's just so grand and regal...it is to die for!! LOL!!
The blue is delicious...it shows a little darker than Wedgewood Blue, but very close...and yes it would be lovely to get some.
An amazing four years and now even more to come...your blog is so popular because you give such great ideas and you are the best presenter of Spellbinders and Creative Expressions that I know.
So I say Onwards and Upwards to many great things to come...When it comes to five years I think we should have a HUGE PICNIC to celebrate!!??!!
Until then, take care.
Have a nice day! Deborah.H :) :)

Congratulations Brenda - Enjoy.
What a fab prize Sue. I feel it is us who should be saying thank you! You gave me the confidence to start up my card groups (the blog is a work in progress!)without your support I would still be crafting on my own.
I don't get to your blog each day, however, I do get my daily fix via email. I think you have a gift for making everyone feel they are special. Well done Sue's mom for raising such a wonderful, caring daughter.
lotta luv & Hugs jcp x
Lovely card that colour blue is lovely I once painted a feature wall in my kitchen in that colour it was stunning sadly I had to move and could never get that colour again.
I love this die I have the labels 4 and grand dies too so you can really go to town with the layers.
So enjoying the dies from the last CHA and think I just about have all the ones I wanted which was most of them.lol
Only one I seem to be missing is labels 8 and decorative labels 8 which are next on my list no idea how I kiss those as they must be quite old. Off to see if you have any cards made with them.
Keep up the good work all the best Pauline ( freedom99)
Sue, today's card is awesome. Just love the dies and the colour together - just have to get me elegant labels 4! Keep on bloggin'. Jean
Evening Sue, firstly congratulations to Brenda, enjoy your stamps. Beautiful card and you are right about the blue shade it is lovely and makes a nice contrast to the white card. I thoroughly enjoy popping by on a daily basis, have had to miss a few days off and on last few weeks and I can't wait to get back to check out the cards I have missed. I look forward to helping you celebrate many more bloggy birthdays. Hugs
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card, love that die (got to put it on my Xmas list), great colour too.

Love the card. I drop in each day and sometimes leave a comment but always love to see your beautiful cards. I've used several as inspiration for cards I've made in recent weeks. I just wish I could afford all the dies you use!! My credit card is NOT happy that I found your blog LOL.

Hey Sue, I love today's card and the colours in particular are very striking. I love your blog and after a busy day of motorways and meetings its always my first port of call when I get home. Unfortunately I have to work to pay for all my crafting products I need after you've inspired me!

Very very pretty :)
Dear Sue
What a fabulous card this is, so very pretty. Just love the blue and white colour scheme. I'm glad you are searching for a similar blue card stock for us to get. I for one would love to have some so I could make a pretty colour scheme like this.
I love the elegant labels four dies you have used for this card. Such a beautiful set of die cut frames you have made -so intricate. Love also the microbeaded sentiment in the centre and the melted ribbon flowers are so very pretty around the frame of the sentiment.
Hope work hasn't overtaken your holiday back home completely.
Hugs

Hi Sue It's so nice to read all the comments that are written on your blog every day. You are a very popular lady because your just you! You are an inspiration to us all and it is us that should be grateful to you, and we are very much. When I first saw today's card it so reminded me of something, couldn't put my finger on it. Until I read your blog Wedgwood it does look so much like it. I'm loving the colour, shame it's discontinued. Those dies are very pretty and less is more so they say, with the flowers. Have a great day Hugs Debbie Ravenhill xx
Absolutely stunning Sue.
