Ecco of Sheffield said...

morning Sue
Today's gift is fantastic - for me you cannot go wrong with blue/while in any shade of blue.
I love the dies used today and the format is definitely one which is bound for my 'must do' file.
I can think of many occasions today's format could be used.
Busy day getting collecting crafty things ready to take to France on Monday.

Maryann Laursen said...

This is soooooooooooo soo gorgeous Sue. I absolutely LOVE it.
I have a question for you. I´ve been on a list at 2 different compagnies, to be alerted, when your embossingfolder with the hearts, that you´ve used in more of your videos. I´ve been on those lists ever since I looked around for it the first time I saw it, because I really want to get one, but now I last night got a mail, that they closed the list, because this embossinfolder was discontinued from your compagny, can that really be true, as you´ve used it several times in your videos, and noone have had it at all ever since you used it first time???.
I admit, I´m soooo disappointed, as I really wanted this sooo much, and I´ve been on that list for over 6 months to get it, and I know, I´m not the only one, as several more I know was on that list too, and now just to be told, we wount make any more of them, that can´t be true????

Unknown said...

Morning Sue, I just love the video tutorials because they are so helpful! I've always been scared to do this embossing technique in case I cut through my folder but I feel a lot more confident about trying it with your video to follow, so I can make this adorable card too!, thank you Sue.

Glenharon said...

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
A beautiful card on a beautiful day and jam packed with techniques galore today. Although i would not normally go for a dark and white card this one is so beautiful today. I could make a start on trying to make it as i have the sea garden embossing folder, nothing else but its a start, eh!
OH what beautiful dies that are being launched at the CHA event. The bellyband die that is being shown is a fantastic idea and we need another 3 different shapes to add to it for the different styles, but you can make the band as long as you need instead of like another brand that have made it one size. Think that die will be a must just for the sake of making our presents and boxes finished off expertly.
Sorry i wasn't in yesterday but was at an appointment the day before and it left me absolutely jiggered that i slept the whole day and still suffering today. Hey ho it can only get better i hope.
Take care everyone and hopefully see you all tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs,
Norah (Glenochil)

yorkielass said...

Afternoon/morning Sue and Wilsonette friends, what a beautiful card, thank you. I now have a beautiful butterfly die, so will certainly be micro beading 'her' up for extra beauty. My craft store called to say part of my Foundation card order has arrived, so I cant wait to use my dies on my new coconut and milk cards, have ordered at least another 10 shades but may not be so lucky with those as they have a minimum order and maybe left with certain colours on their stock shelf - surely Im not the only addict in the area !!!
Im making it short today, as I dont 'do good' on Thursday's and get very very tearful (Sue also went through what I have quite recently) so rather than bring you all down with me, I will sign off with love.

I like your card but think the flourish at the bottom was not needed. Think you should have just stuck with the bow and daisy! Love the colors you used.

SusanP, Kent said...

Wasn't sure about this at first, but it has grown on me! Lots of dies and stamps to use (most of which I don't have unfortunately). Your video was brilliant as usual and has inspired me to try this colour combination with the dies and stamps that I do have. That should jog my sluggish imagination a bit!

Tres said...

Hi Sue. Another fantastic video today !! I love today's video, it is packed with tips and techniques that are so helpful. Thank you Sue !! Your card is just superb !! I love the blue and white colour combo. I really love all the elements you have used on the card but there are some that I do not have. I think I have some substitutes though as I think this particular card is a "must try" one. Please keep the videos coming. I am looking forward to seeing you on tv at the CHA show on Sunday.
I hope you are having a good time with your family.
Lots of love to you Sue and all the Willsonettes Love Tres x x x

Hello Sue,
Another brilliant video and such a beautiful card.
I was thrilled when watching this video because I have some of the dies and what I haven't got I can compromise with what I have, so hopefully my version of your card will work out well (I dream)!!!!
Thank you Sue for your brilliant inspiration.

Hi Sue and everyone,

Another stunning card today and that's before I've seen the video! Ordered the criss cross die you used yesterday ! It seemed rude no to - as I had the other components with which to make the cards. Lol! Any excuse.

Love blue and white so I am having a good week!

Steph so sorry you not so well today. Trust you feel at least a little better very soon.

Love to all,

Hi Steph

I'm really sorry that Thursday's are not good for you, I don't know if I have missed previous bloggs or if it is about the injections that you have or whether it is more personal, but you sound so sad and I just wanted you to know that I (Tina) and all the other lovely ladies, not that I'm saying I'm lovely, well I'm ok. But that we are all thinking of you.

Kind regards :-)

Karen G Ratcliffe said...

Hi Sue
Thank you, thank you for the most informative video and gorgeous card!! You answered so many of my questions on doing the cutting and stenciling together and other parts of the card. It has been written but seeing you do it on the video was just so much more explicit! Of corse you make it look way easier than it will be for me. Loved all the dies you used for the card and making the asters looked so much easier with your steps. Bet the butterfly looks so much better in person too.

Hi Sue, first time I've watched one of your videos, absolutely stunning and easy to follow.

Hi Sue,

I've finally managed to find time to watch today's video. This card is just lovely especially as it uses my favourite flower dies of all time the asters. These flower stamps and dies are just so useful. Love the colour of the card as well. Many thanks and hope you are having a good time.

Hi Sue! As always loving your videos. What an amazing stunning card in blue and white! I love the dies, the aster stamps.....oooo gosh, the list is endless. I'd love everything on today's card! The only thing I do have (thank you for reminding me!) is the sticky back sheet! Curtesy of the C&C members free gift, you only have to pay the postage! Thank you so much for the tips that you give us. Oh, I meant to say Tuesday, my favourite sound of all when I'm doing a card is the sound the card makes when you're taking it out of the die....I just love that "crunching" sound! We all have our fetishes eh? Lol! Thank you Sue for the wonderful videos! Hope you are having a great time at the CHA. Just to say, "good luck everybody" for the Wednesday Card Giveaway! xx Love Karen xx

Tina said...

Hi Sue

I have just watched your video, and as usual beautifully filmed. Your card today looks simple and beautiful but when you actually watch all the work that goes into making the card, a non crafter just would not realise how much elbow grease goes into making just the flower, and when you assemble all the elements what a great sense of achievement. The card is lovely. Will definitely do this one

Kind regards :-)
