Hello crafters! I hope this brightens your weekend!  As requested, another Christmas card idea for you!

  14. Hi Sue, great card today, just in time for Christmas. I have this snowflake and the gilding flakes so will give it a try tomorrow.

    Will watch the videos too, they are fantastic and so much better than the written version! I think everyone learns from doing rather than reading although it does help to print of for reference later.

    Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl

    morning Sue
    Thank you for letting me join you in your craft room this morning.
    You have just given me the inspiration I needed for today as I have to start on some special C.Card this morning.

  17. Hi Sue and hi to all that enter Sueland this cold dull Saturday. This card sure brings a warmth to the miserable British weather. Im still trying to get to grips with guilding flakes, I either use too much or too little glue, so Im still in the experimental school of flakes and hate to see my small 'trial' bits of card hit the recycle bin ! Maybe one day I will get the technique right so I too can produce such stunning work. I live in Lancashire (UK) can anyone tell me where I can get hold of the coconut/custard card other from CC please.
    Happy crafting to all that enter here today xx

  31. Dear Sue,

    This card is so elegant. I am off to the craftroom now. I wanted to thank you for the videos and for joining forces with Joana sheene to make the products available. Needless to say that the wobbly shelves in her store get visited after the video is finished as I have learned that it doesn't pay to hesitate! LOL

    Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragement.

  78. Good morning Sue,
    I love the simplistic look of today's card and the gliding flakes are just beautiful. It gives 2 looks to my eyes both a recessed look one way i look and a raised look from another way. Fantastic 2 looks for the price of 1. It has that simply but elegant look which is what you need sometimes.
    Thank you Sue once more for your inspiration.

    The gilding flakes are really effective in this card. It looks as though the card is difficult to make. When you watch the video it is certainly not difficult. The videos are worth all the time and effort on your part. Thank you for inviting us into your craft room.
