Another wonderful card, I love this effect.
I have those Dies, must go rummage, and use them. Although what I will do with them will never be just quite as good as yours. You have that "magic" touch
Have a great day

Morning Sue
beautiful card thank you, the video is brilliant. Sue if I had left the lid off my ink pad I would have had every thing covered in ink LOL. Take care Kitty, Hope every one keeps warm this weekend real crafting weather on the way.
Good morning Sue,

Morning Sue and everyone, great card, will watch video later when I have more time. Have a great day Sally x

Crafty hugs Rachel x
Morning Sue and lovely Wilsonettes. As we all rise to start a brand new day, Sue is snuggled with hot chocolate, slippers and maybe a onesie thinking about a long night sleep ! Who am I kidding - I bet it's still lovely and warm where our Sue is right now, boy oh boy wont it come as a shock as Sue is frozen to the spot as soon as she arrives back here !?
I see some of our lady craft addicts are not quite sure where they live this morning, but all is forgiven as it's still early. Maybe after work and after you have watched the tutorial video and searched for the illusive MOJO that's missing from CRAFTY KEEPSAKE's life just now, you can tell us the area you are 'tapping away' from. For those Sue addicts that have searched and helped our fellow Wilsonette find MOJO we love to see where you craft, thanks, actually, its just a sneaky way of being nosey : )
This certainly IS a celebration card Sue, a card to celebrate another W.O.W (Wonder Of Wilson) and a celebration that we Wilsonettes have been lucky enough to have such a great blog to look forward to every day, and the anticipation of what delight greets us every morning. Im off to watch the video now I can focus properly, I think my brain cell is engaged and ready to take in delightful instruction : )
Have a wonderful day Sue whatever you have planned, and the same goes to our lovely ladies. Any help you can give to raise our Jens (CRAFTY KEEPSAKE) spirits and help her find her 'crafty Mojo' again would be sooo lovely.
Im Lancashire Steph from Liverpool !

Hi sue
Another beautiful stunning card love the background a4 folder must get that one thankyou for all you do in making theses video for us it's really help me craft along with you thanks Tracy w x
Morning Sue, Wow !! this video is fabulous, as is the card, what a genius way you have cut the corners on the white card and then slotted the background black card into them, genius. I love the finished look to the card, and those beautiful flowers and swirls complete this stunning piece.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue, absolutely stunning card , just love it. Have found that when I lose my mojo all it takes sometimes is for my hubby to say " dont worry about doing anything for awhile" suddenly drawers in my craftroom open and crafty bits start to fly out and land on my desk vying with each other for my attention saying " you haven't used me in ages - its my turn now" suddenly my mojo is raring to go as it definitely doesn't like being put in its place by my crafty stash ( its ego cant take it) . Jen don't chase after your mojo cuz if you do the little blighter will hide in even better places , you have to be sneakier by telling it you dont need it anymore and I'm sure the pesky thing will come running back tail between its legs.

Thank you for this mornings lovely video. I absolutely love looking at you making a card first thing in the mornings. My favourite part of the morning :)
And this is a very effective card. Only two colours and still lots going on. Lovely!
And now I'm going to watch it over again, while I make breakfast and lunch box :)
Always love black-and-white, Sue, and am lusting after those corners!
Very nice card.

Good morning Sue
Just watched the video and loved the way you've used the corners to hold the embossed card. You are the master in handling double sided tape and glue dots, whenever I use them they tend to stick to everything but my project lol. Beautiful card as usual, thank you for hints and tips.

Hi Sue,
Lovely card today black and white and the pearls makes it one beautiful elegant card - once again! Love it!!
Have a nice day. Sheila x
Well Sue, what can I say other than "Thank you" you really have no idea when you're standing there in your studio making your tutorial video's that some dumb ex Brummie, now a Lancastrian has recently started to play with adhesive sheets and micro beads. But dittsey dumb brain here thought she'd get real clever and try putting it through her 'mangle' (as Mr Lancashire calls it) ! I inherited 2 snow flake dies (hangs head in shame as not SB dies) but who says NO to any die when you dont have many anyway ? So, Im not fortunate enough to have a GC machine : ( but I got in such a cafuddle with it all ! I didn't know which side would be better to cut through, neither did my brain realise that it had to peel off one side before passing it through, I had sticky everywhere, I had snowflakes that looked all misformed, I had flakes that were stuck together, oh the frustration of not having more than 1 working brain cell !! But thanks to you and your tutorial that almost caters for stupid idiotic non thinking fools like me, I now 'think' I will get to grips with adhesive paper and dies, if not, then not only will the guilding flakes and slippery acitate have a conspiracy against me, they will get the adhesive sheet on their side too !!!
There are SO many tools and toys I need t even think about trying some of your cards, but as Im firmly stuck in the 'old world' without an A4 size mangle, what hope do I have ? Oh yeah, with all these evil toys against me, you throw beaded swirls at me ! I feel a sweat coming on !
Wonderful card and equally wonderful tutorial -.Thank you xx
Lancashire Steph xx
Nice card Sue. Happy Crafting x

morning Sue
Thank you for allowing me to join you in your craft room this morning.
It really starts me day off well.
Monochrome is always a winner in my book. The format for today's gift is wonderful. Today's dies are my favourite at the moment - cut in different strengths of paper/card/parchment give very different looks. Each one being elegant in its own right.
Janet x
Love monochrome and those corners are fab
Hi Sue

Hi Sue
Fabulous card, the corners are beautiful. The monochrome look is great ( which is a change for me to say that I like it!).the video is excellent as usual and I always look forward to seeing them. They are also such a useful resource to have at our fingertips. Thanks again Sue. Have a good day. Alison xx
Good morning Sue,
What a beautiful card you have done for us again. Normally i would not go in for such a black and white card, but this is stunning Sue and so clever what you have done to the corners. I don't have this corner but dare i say i have some tattered lace ones that would work just as well.
Here was me thinking i was the only nuts person on your blog, oh happy days, there are more me's in the Wilsonette's. Steph, i am from Glenochil, Clackmannannshire (the Wee County). Good morning Pam, i hope you are feeling stronger today. Hi Jen, Sue has done us a beautiful card to get our teeth into and different. I'm going to have a bash, are you?
Take care everyone until tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue. WOW , what a fab card today !! I have never really been to sure about black and white monochrome cards but this is just beautiful !! I really love the black and white poinsettia card you made the other week. too !! I do not have any corner dies at all so I think maybe after Christmas I should treat myself to some. I love everything about today's card. I do not have the floret flowers but I could try other flower dies. As always Sue your video is great !! Giving us all lots of hints, tips and techniques.
Thank you for all your hard work to bring us these fab videos.
Lancashire Steph, as I mentioned yesterday I am from Kent.

Hi Sue
Love today's video, love black and white

When my imagination does no t click in what you did with the blossom corner is so on point with this die.
Would love to see what else can be done.

Take care x

Hey Myra. Where in Lancashire ? We moved here 3yrs ago to be near our only daughter as she nurses up here (well Yorkshire now) but we came from Bham, and NO I dont have a 'typical' awful thick sounding accent -.thank goodness lol.
Hope your day is going well : ) as its so mild I've ventured out and added more evil guilding flakes, have NO idea why when they hold me prisoner and snigger at me each time I glance in their direction ! I mudt be a devil for punishment !

Hi Sue you have done it again a stunning card and a fantastic video I really look forward to your video's they brighten up my day. Today's card has the WOW factor
I love the monochrome look and the corner die is beautiful
Love the way you tucked the background card under the die ( the die is on my wish list ) thank you Sue for sharing the Sue Wilson wisdom Hugs Lynda Brock xx
Lancashire Steph as I said I live in Broadstairs Kent just got back from walking my dogs on the beach but no MOJO only seaweed sorry Jen x
Love those pretty corners. Off to watch the video now.
Another gorgeous card Sue. I've watched the video and as always, such a great tutorial. There are so many good tips that you give from doing the corners and the way you slot in the embossed background sheet. The way you line the stamps up and place the stamping block on top of it. To be honest that would be better for me to do that as my stamps tend to look skiwift! (It's the age thing eyesight!). Also the best way for you that you use for the sticky sheet, which could end up being better for some of us out there too. Then there's the cutting of the pearls to size and how to get them just right on the card from the sticky sheet that holds them and your fingers! Plus, although I worried a bit at first at the cracking when I first cut dies, I now love it and know it's done the job pretty good! Oooo and I just love poking out the bits too, like you, (although they get everywhere!). It is very theraputic! These videos are doing a fantastic job that help anyone who would like to start crafting as a hobby. Then who knows? What a mentor! We could have a little tribe of Sue Wilsons out there before too long and how great would that be!! Thank you so much Sue for all the inspiration that you give xx Love Karen xx
love this monochrome card, elgant and beautiful x
Hello Sue, Thank you for the amazing video, a master class from the best!!! A stunning card, love the monochrome look and the corners are beautiful.

OMG I love those dies. As always your composition of the card is brilliant. I always like black and white and this is just beautiful. hugs x
Just stunning! Love the corner dies and striking in black and white xx
Hi Sue
Love the card today, black and white cards are so striking they really seem to stand out from other colours. I miss the bow though, I get withdrawal systems if there's not a bow. Cracking video,, can't wait for the next one.
Hi Steph. What a lovely load of blog friends we have. I don't know about you steph but when I have lost something I can be looking for days, and then when I give in looking, low and behold it just turns up. One day when Jen is not looking for her MoJo it will turn up and bite her on the bum, and we can all go back to looking at her beautiful work again.
Kind regards. :-)
