Hi all! As promised, a sneaky little peek from one of the bundles from Sunday's show. This one features
Becca Feeken's Filigree Bracket Label die and stamp set which I think is absolutely stunning! This die set was initially only available through her monthly club kit, and I had to do a bit of begging (I'm not proud! LOL) to get it, but it is lovely and can be used in so many ways. I believe that it is not been released for sale anywhere except on my shows tomorrow too. I used the larger label shape to cut an aperture in the raspberry card. I added some mounting foam to the back to raise it for dimension and stamped the background with the
Moroccan Lattice background stamp from Justrite. I did a tone on tone with the
black embossing on
black card as I love the way that looks. It adds so much interest without overwhelming. I used the tag from the set to stamp my sentiment which is from her set called
"What Defines Us" and added it to the centre of the aperture opening. I highlighted it with
Victorian Velvet distress ink before removing it from the die. I stamped the rose three times and coloured them with pencils and cut them out (by hand), leaving a white edged margin for definition. I mounted them around the aperture opening as accents. I used the fall away pieces from the
Marvellous Squares in the corners (such a nice little piece, it just always fills the bill!) I finished the card with both a black mat with
black PVA glue dots and then my final double white pierced mats. Finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size.
Let's not forget that today is the day to announce the winner of the Wednesday card giveaway. The winner is:
Jackie Trinder!!!
Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.
It's a busy weekend for the Creative Expressions team on Create and Craft. Julia Watts has two shows today, the first one at 12 noon and again at 5pm. You will love the new stamps on the shows too, they are just gorgeous! All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I'm so excited my name has been picked to receive Wednesday's beautiful card. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to your shows tomorrow and Julia's today. Have a great day. Love Jackie
Welcome home sue

Morning Sue
Welcome home todays card is very pretty thank you congrats to Jackie. Looks like a very crafty weekend, I will have to record them take care Kitty
Relatively simple, but very effective card - really will have to watch all the shows, I hate missing anything. Welcome home, I wish you were on C&C a lot more often.
Welcome home Sue, good morning, good morning Wilsonettes. Congratulations Jackie you must be thrilled to bits : )
One thing that stands out straight away with this W.O.W is not a single bit of embossing anywhere, infact its sooo different from any other Sue Sensational but it's beautiful. I wish I could watch all shows tomorrow but I've only got the pleasure of watching your 5pm show and record the Tool Shed shows, but Im just so delighted you are back with us (if only they would give you a regular weekly 2hr show) sorry for being selfish !
My last craft fair tomorrow of the year, then I need to concentrate on my 'megga special cards' so I will take a look back at the wonderful cards you have given us and try and find that last bit of enthusiasm to get them done.
Sending Saturday smiles n hugs.

Great card and lovely colour scheme. I'm Hoping I get to watch the shows tomorrow. Hugs Sonia x
lovely Sue and can't wait for the shows
morning Sue
A beautiful gift for us today as always. The new dies and stamps look amazing and I cannot wait to see you use them.
For me today it's the format that wins as I'm not so sure about the colour scheme. Perhaps if it were in a different colour instead of the pink.
Hope you can catch a little rest today before your shows tomorrow. Congratulations to Jackie on receiving Wednesday's gift. There's one very pleased Wilsonette.
Janet x
Lovely.
Hi Sue,
Not sure about the colours of this card - May well be my screen. I love the dies though and I'd never have thought of using the fall away for the corners. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow and congrats to Jackie, lucky lady. Hope it all goes well.
Beverley W
Nice card Sue X will watch the shows.
Hi Sue,

Hi Sue. Gorgeous card, I love the bracket and the corners! Beautiful die and stamp set. Thank you for begging Becca to let you use it : ) I hope you will manage to get some rest before tomorrow and that you enjoy the shows, I know we Wilsonettes will! Finally, only 1 sleep :)) I hope it's not too cold for you Sue, I suppose you could have come back to snow so it could have been worse! Congrats to Jackie. Take care.
Hi Sue lovely card and the die and stamp too.

Hi Sue, welcome back to Blighty. Love this card, beautiful colours, dies look great. Looking forward to a weekend of SUe and Julia inspiration. Bx
Good morning Sue. How lovely. The colours are great too. I've just been looking at this de set
Good Morning Sue,
It's such a lovely card today. It has the vintage feel to me that I love so much and let's face it when the talents of two such gifted cardmakers merge (yourself and Becca Feeken) what could possibly go wrong. It's good to know that you are back in our part of the world and am really looking forward to tomorrow's show. Thanks for sharing this with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Hi Sue,
Another lovely card. Really like the raspberry and black together. Gorgeous dies and stamps. Looking forward to the shows tomorrow so good luck for them. Congrats to Jackie, one very lucky lady!
Don't know if I'm very sure about this one but will reserve judgement until I see your shows-really looking forward to them.I know you deserve your time with your mum but we really miss you when you are away'Your blog and videos are what keep me going between your tv times and shows.C & C is just not the same without you although I do love Julias shows as well but nobody else matches up to the standards that you both set,take care,x.
Hi Sue,
I quite like this card, but it is so different from your usual cards!
Looking forward to the shows. Good to have you back.

Hi, Sue, great card today, just love the colours and that ornate tag - well!!
Please don't think this is criticism as it's not, but would rather have had a great big floppy raspberry bow and black dazzler than the flowers. Just love your bows, and your dazzlers too - LOL!!!
Hugely please as plans for tomorrow have been postponed to Thursday so can now see the shows. Hurrah. Welcome back.

Hi Sue
Very pretty card, I like the central die. It was very kind of Becca to give in to your begging. I hope you have brought lots of stock with you. Really looking forward to the shows tomorrow, but I will have to record them as tomorrow is the day to take flowers to the people that are no longer with us. That's why I am hoping that you have lots of stock. I might just get to see the 5 o'clock show.
Kind regards :-)

Good evening Sue
What a beautiful card, the colours and construction is just lovely.
I must say Becca Feeken is hugely talented (a bit like you Sue) and I follow her blog too, it really is fantastic - I'm obviously a bow and flowers type of crafter!
Hugs Sharon Kirkwood x
P.S. Julia's shows today were wonderful and I'm looking forward to seeing you tommorrow.
Oh my word. Im SO touched, thank you SO much sweetie (NO GRATIS) though ! Can you see how wonderfully your blog brings us Wilsonettes together Sue ? Im silenced by your thoughfullness (that's a first ay) : ) xxxxxxx
Hi Sue gorgeous card I love the Becca Feeken die,the colours you have used are just lovely sooo looking forward to your shows tomorrow .have a good sleep tonight hugs Lynda Brock xx
Gorgeous card Sue. I haven't been able to view blog for a few days and Wow what lovely Christmas cards too.
Looking forward to tomorrow. Love the colours on today's card.
Welcome back. Beautiful card as always but a little different from you, change is as good as a rest so they say. hugs x
Really looking forward to your shows Sue and hope you are not too jetlagged from your travels. The label die is gorgeous and as you had to beg to get it I'm sure it will appear on more than one card tomorrow! Love your poinsettia card from yesterday - has to be one of the most useful Christmas die sets I have bought and that's saying something as I am a huge snowflake fan. Will be tucked up in the warm on my sofa watching the shows as not been too well for a couple of days so it will really cheer me up. X
Lovely card today,looking forward to tomorrow..... it's like waiting for Father Christmas to arrive. Not long now. Mabex
Hi Sue,
Just love this card. Thank you. Have already ordered a few items off your show tomorrow as I have to go out and your items sell out sooo quickly.
Much love,
Shirley T. xxxxxxxxxx
I love the filigree label, very decorative. Looking forward to your shows tomorrow Sue. Best of luck.
Love the look of the new stamps and dies.Love the raspberry with the black,stunning.
