Good morning Sue,
So nice to be looking at yet another beautiful card, what with the foul weather outside.
It's really lovely and a case of "less is more".
Thank you for sharing.
LOVE the little felt flowers.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, Back to work for most of us I guess today. But we carry on bleary eyed cheered by your gorgeous offerings so early in the morning, Thanks for 2013 can't wait to see what you bring us next year.

A Sue Wilson special today and what a lovely little number, those flowers are a treat. Please continuing doing what it is you do so well and thank you from the bottom of my heart.xx
Pretty card Sue-it is a little dark but don't know if that is just the photos.My lot are all away now so this is my relaxing time for myself so maybe I will try out a few cards,take care,x.
Lovely card, great colour palette and love the background
morning Sue
For just a moment I thought I'd logged on to the wrong blog site!!
No ribbon - no bows - no stick pins and no dazzlers.
But then of course I realised that today's gift is just what I needed for my 'less is more' and 'simple and quick' boxes and of course it's Sue Wilson.
I just love the background stamp - it's one I've never seen before but isn't it just beautiful. Would be so useful on a child's card.
Will be trying to get some crafting done today as I've some bday cards that need attention quickly - so it's back to normal YEH YEH.
Janet x
Good morning Sue
A truly beautiful card again today thanks so much for sharing. I hope everyone is safe and well, the weather here is atrocious so I think it's a day for crafting.

Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. You have so many wonderful ideas. We are heading home today having seen many family members. Enjoy today. Love Jackie
Hi Sue
Love the style and colours what a great way to use the alphabet stamp, must buy some felt to give the flowers ago.
Happy crafting
Love Tina x
A lovely offering today. Love the colour contrast.
Hugs Sue x
Pretty card Never seen the background stamp and although it's very ornate & mature looking I don't think I'd use it as a background for an adult ... But is it too adult looking to use on a child's card? I'm in a bit of a conundrum with this. Each individual element is stunning though
Hi Sue. Another beautiful "less is more" card. It is simply gorgeous. The periwinkle blue against the black and lovely rolled felt flowers! Wonderful. We all keep saying it Sue but Thank you for all that you do for us. Take care.
Love the black and blue- lovely card Sue
Have a great day .
XxRuth
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Another simple but effective card Sue and would suit anyone I think.
Yes, back to work in this hideous weather but what can you do.
Ang x
Morning Sue,

Janette
Mornin sue. Love the card and colours on this one too! I missed the blog yesterday due to sleeping all day and being sick most of Christmas Day. I'm guessing the nightshift caught up with me. Every time I do it I end up with a bloomin virus anyways at least I have ur cards to look at an cheer me up!!!
Love Tracy from killie x
Morning Sue, I love the background stamp, think I will have to put it on my list. This card is quite simple but so effective. I don't know how you keep coming up with them. Still got power but a lot of local roads are closed because of flooding or fallen trees.
Love Rosemarie xx
Very pretty
Yet again you spoil us, so beautiful this mornings card
Hi Sue. Another beautiful card and I love the periwinkle colour on the dark background. Bought some of this card just before Christmas and I can't wait to try it.
Good morning Sue and all the followers of Sue, lovely card today and I agree with all the above. Sally x
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
I would need to do this in a lighter colour scheme Sue, sorry but you know me by now,just not a dark person. Sorry everyone.
It is strange to see a "plain" card from your talented hands.
Well from a misty, dreich Glenochil see you tomorrow everyone,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah
Good morning Sue
What a lovely card! I love this colour combo and felt flowers are my favourite. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous xx Jan
Hi Sue lovely combination of colours, would not have thought of these together. The background is great and no doubt useful for lots of things. Wishing all well especially in these high winds and flooding take extra care. X
A perfect card Sue, really pretty
Xx Sandra
Morning Sue, another great card, great for cards in a hurry, as there seems to be always one! Might have to get back to crafting today as I think I am getting withdrawal symptoms, take care everyone, Jess xx
Hello Sue!
Well there was so much to watch on TV yesterday , I watched the recorded Tool Shed with you, and Kim. The Pink card she did used this stamp, and it was beautiful, now today you have used it in a different way!
I think this will be another one for the list!
Love the simplicity of it Sue!
Hope your feeling better Joanne not nice being ill for Christmas.
Love Marg
Good morning Sue,
Have just had my day cancelled, due to hubby being unwell and the bad weather friends can't get here. So I might just get to craft this afternoon.
Like today's card very much, had some felt in my Christmas presses so think I will give it a go!
Gail C x
Hello Sue,
'Bless your hearts' for making this blog such a delight to visit each day!!!!!!
This is a beautiful card and looking at it I can see how it would work in so many other colour combinations and occasions.
Thank you Sue for all your wonderful ideas and inspiration where would we be with out you.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Hi Sue lovely card I like the background stamp thank you for the ideas
Denise Hancock X
Hi Sue
Although the card is a little dark for my personal tastes, I do like the individual elements and could see me doing something similar but in lighter colours. As others have said, thank you for your time, enthusiasm and your inspiration. Alison xx
Nice card today and I just love the little felt flowers. Hugs Sonia x
Another lovely card but not so sure about the colours in this one. Still in love with yesterday's card!! Best wishes

Dear Sue Apologies for not blogging yesterday, I just loss track of time but do love both cards! I am glad for the close up pics of today's card to appreciate the alphabet stamp.
I hope you had a lovely Christmas, I had plenty crafty goodies for Christmas so hoping to play today.
Take Care Love Michelle S xxx
Bless your heart to you too, Sue - Blue is my fav. colour, so I always like those and this one is no exception.
Lovely Card! I just adore the felt flowers.
Beautiful card, love the background. Really versatile too, with a change of sentiment it could be used for any occasion. Pat x

Beautiful card Sue xx hazel
Such a beautiful card here again today Sue. I love the black and cream combination, it looks soooo elegant.
Hope you´ll enjoy the rest of the Holiday in relax mode too.
Hi Sue,
Love this card especially the frame . By the way does anyone fancy a mince pie - hubby did the shopping and we have SIX BOXES left along with two bags of Brussel sprouts! Oh well . Keep up the fab work Sue, can't wait for 2014s offerings.
Beverley W
Hi Sue
Glad that you're well rested. Another stunning card. I actually think I have this die that you have used. Hope that everyone had a lovely Christmas.
Good Morning Sue.
Love the background and the periwinkle blue is so cheery.
Love Val x
Hi Sue, lovely card made by a lovely lady, thanks for all you show us love Jean Z xx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card less is more on this one hee hee.
Alison B. x
Hi Sue. Another really lovely card today !! I love the periwinkle blue and you have used the Elegant labels four frame- It was at the top of my wish list and hubby bought it for me for Christmas so I am well pleased !! I am afraid I do not really like the alphabet soup background stamp though so I would use another instead like maybe the justrite rose background stamp. ( It has become a favourite of mine.) I love your beautiful little felt flowers and your sentiment. I do not have any of the new vintage shapes so would probably stick with my old faithful justrite vintage labels four shape. ( Which I love !! )
I hope everyone had a good Christmas considering the bad weather and all the problems it caused.
Sue you are wonderful !! You are definately my crafting super hero !! I have to see your blog every day now and hate to miss out on even one day !! Have a fantastic 2014 to Sue and all the Willsonettes.
Lots of crafty hugs Tres x x x
Good morning Sue
Another beautiful card using one of my favourite dies, love it.

Any card with the Bitty Blossoms is a winner! Love the periwinkle blue too, it's a lovely shade of blue.
Fabulous card with beautifully understated details. x
The periwinkle and black colour combo make a striking card, love the alphabet background. x
Hi Sue,
I love today's card! My favourite colour blue and felt flowers too! I have the card and felt and the colours are beautiful. Not had time to experiment yet.
Today is clearing up day! Might make you smile - this morning started with loud noise coming from sitting room. Husband found granddaughter's Blackberry down side of a sofa ! Couldn't make it stop so took battery out! Apparently she'd been in all the bags looking for it! Kids eh!
Beverley W ,thanks for kind offer but will have to turn down offer of mince pies - maybe we could start a mince pie mountain!
Thanks to all who make me smile each day, especially Sue - where would be be without you.
Love Myra
Fab background - I love anything 'alphabet' :)
Hello Sue, Bless Your Heart too, you give us Wilsonettes so much and I agree with Myra, where would we be without you.
This is such a pretty card, love the colour combo and the felt flowers are gorgeous. Decorative Labels Four is my go to die.
Have not seen the background stamp before, might have to invest in it, as your embossing is stunning.
Thank you again Sue for all your inspiration.
Stay safe and warm everyone.
Hugs June xxxx
Hi Sue, I do love your cards when I have most of the equipment to try to make it, cos I put them in their file Sue's To Try.
This one is in the sub title Easy'ish.
So Sue Wilson I send the sentiment strait back to you. Bless Your Heart for all your hard work.

Beautiful card Sue, love the rolled flowers!

Gorgeous card.Love that background stamp and the felt flowers are lovely.
Helen Bx
Hi Sue
Lovely card, the background is so different and the flowers are so pretty.
Beverley W. I also thank you for the offer of mince pies, but I too have a hubby that thought I was inviting the whole village for Christmas so bought boxes of the things. As for the brussels, i'll pass if you don't mind. I am putting my family on a brussel sprout diet next year, the poor dog ( Berkeley ) got all the blame, she kept looking at me as if to say "it was'nt me mum it was them over there". I hope I did'nt offend anyone with the last comment.
Kind regards :-)

Good afternoon Sue

Hi Sue, hope you are managing to get to relax for a few minutes from your hectic schedule!
It's a wonder you manage to delight us with your creations and still have time for family and friends, you're a marvel!
Today's creation is a delight and as I have most of the ingredients I can give it a try.
I'm in the middle of putting away all of the recent Christmas crafting stuff until I get it out again for next year. I don't seem to have used much but it is possible that I have used quite a lot - just bought more stuff again! Oh well, will try not to buy as much next year, but I say that every year don't I? The local craft shop had a great sale today and although I resisted the Christmas item - I did manage to buy loads of crafty stuff, can't resist a bargain eh!!
Craftihappiness and season's greetings to you all, love from Pearl
Hi Sue - Love the card and colours. I have never tried the clear embossed background on black card yet and never used the rolled flowers on my cards due to postage costs, but will be trying both on my next creation!
ValC xx
Hi Sue
loving this card so divine I also really like the felt flowers keep the inspiration up for us all sue what a lady you are .. hugs sarah xx
Luvly card and like the dotty blue felt tip technique around the sentiment xx GailT xx
Lancashire Steph - where are you??
Do hope you are alright. Missing you today.
a great card ,love this die ,have used it lots .Laura O
BOO !
Well, I did come in this morning, shared a mince pie with Pam, but dont know where I went after that !!! I even remember thinking - Mrs W has a room full of full tummied piggies ! And I wrote it down too ! Mind you, the blog did seem to be playing up this morning, as I scrolled down Patricia H's comment showed at least 6 times along with Kitty's I think, so maybe it didn't post ! It wasn't the Pina Colada's honest !!!!
Yesterday is a blur, slept most of it, and when that happens it means Im not well. Im SO usually good at hiding when Im not feeling well (numerous masks ready to wear when neccessary) but when I sleep there's no hiding it from Mr Lancashire ! Poor guy, or was it relief ? When Im 'well' I spend most of the day in the little room crafting (then doze around 9pm) and on a day I feel we should be together, I sleep, but imagin the relief of a waffle free zone ! I too re-watched some Tool Shed this morning, dont quite feel up to crafting today, after a bad day with Crohns it leaves me drained and weak (mouth discounted) but had to get my craft kick from somewhere, and where could be better than the last show we watched with our 'leader' I so look forward to each card, and every morning they brighten my day, so thank you Sue. This coming year I hope to get more SB/JR etc toys which in turn will take my cards up a notch or two, and along with this magnificent blog how can I go wrong ? Apart from being with a group of wonderfull Wilsonettes as friends, I have another friend who can show me the way to making beautiful cards, what more can I ask for.
I got my prize today Sue. Thank you. Thank you so much. I felt I won a million pounds Im so appreciative of your kindness.
Well Im off now, but cant wait to see what tomorrow brings us.
Sending love to all.
Hugs.
Lancashire Steph (no sprouts for me thanks hon) !!! : 0
Hi Sue,

Lovely card nice to see the use of the older dies.
Another super card - Thanks Sue.
Just tried to imitate Sue's gilded angel covered in glitter jewels. I used white ice as opposed to iced snow, & found I almost obliterated my stamped image? Anyone know why this happened?
