Morning Sue
Thank you beautiful card great video, I shall be watching Kim. Take care Kitty
Hi Sue, As always what a Awesome Card so Clean and Fresh looking, I Loved the "Video" thanks for the tip re: the Large Micro Beads, I've got everything etc: The Grand Spellbinder Die but I'm sure I can adapt my Card, I love your Background and The Basket weave Embossing Folder.
I Truly Love the Aster Stamp and Die one of my favourites, and just adding the soft Green to the leaves looks Fabulous. I wish I knew where you purchased your Glue Dots from as the ones I've had in the past never seem to be very strong, so I stopped using them!
You did it again another Stunning, Opulent, Card I've been asked to make an Anniversary Card so I may just change the Sentiment to suit, but everything else the Colour everything I will keep as it is, well I'll try!!!
Love and hugs from Sam x
Have a great day all!

Thank you for letting me join you this morning - you start my day off on a high note.
Today's gift is so clean, simple and beautiful.
I think basket weave is my favourite of your folders and it always seems to jump into my hands for backgrounds.
I haven't as yet purchased the astor dies but they are definitely a must have.
Janet x
Hi Sue pretty card and the flowers are simple gorgeous. Thanks for hints and tips, sometimes when you are trying to do something one of them just pops in your head just in time to help.The black pencil one with stamping has saved me a few times.

Morning Sue, Stunning !! I love the aster flower die, I use it a lot, but I especially love the effect of the basketweave embossing folder on the frame, so very effective. A really pretty card and I would be so excited to receive this. I have used the large microbeads in the centre of my flowers too and they look gorgeous.
Thank you for the fabulous videos.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Great video, Sue, thank you. Love the asters but don't have them - yet!! Lusted when you first demoed them but unfortunately can't have everything. Altogether a really attractive card and who wouldn't love to receive this?
Sorry, mind gone - anon from 'P' in Wales
Beautiful, those flowers are some of my favourites and love the new take on them
Morning Sue, leaving this comment Just Beacause it is stunning. Have the flower die and use them a lot. Have a great day.

Good morning Sue
What an exceptionally beautiful card, as yet I haven't coloured my micro beads but will do when I try to make this card. When I first had your folders tumbling hearts was my favourite but now I seem to use the basket weave more and more. Will watch the video later, talking of the video how do I leave comments? I don't seem able to I must be doing something wrong. Nora hope your feeling better after your scare.

Hi Sue,

Love Sheila xx
I love those flowers, fab card
Simply stunning what a beautiful card Sue, and my favourite flowers. wow xx
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Oh what a beautiful card again, Sue and out of all the ingredients i have the.....Cosmic Shimmer glue. Not a bad start to the project i think. I have looked longingly at those aster dies and stamps for months now but its just one of those things that are on my need list yet again, but it is getting so much longer because of you Mrs W.
Thank you for your kindness girls, i must say i think i might have made a dent in his front fender if he had hit me, but it has just left me with a wee while of body saying "you must be joking if you think i am moving". Had the hygienst yesterday, well that was a laugh. They have moved to the where the library was and where have the men that own the dentists put the disabled toilets and the hygienst... down the very bottom of the place which takes me 12 mins to get to from the reception. By the time i got down there i was absolutely jiggered. Coming back out i got stuck between the 2 lots of automatic doors. There was a queue of folk trying to get out and some trying to get in, and me stuck in no mans land in the middle. I don't think they tried out they're ideas on actual disabled people before going through with they're plans. It was an eventful day, i'll say that for it. Today i'm going to behave myself and stay in, so see you all tomorrow hopefully,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
This is so pretty. Love those delicate asters dies and stamps. Love the white and lilac compbo it is always such a classic combination.
Luv n hugs

A beautiful card Sue. I have these dies and embossing folder but will have to buy some of the larger micro beads now that I have seen how you colour them. Thank you for your wonderful videos, it makes up for not seeing you on the tv!
Hi Sue

Hi Sue,
Fabulous card, using the aster flowers my all time favourite. Love the framing you have done and the soft lilac is the perfect finishing touch, I too have used micro beads in the centre and they look so pretty.
Thanks for another great video.

Hello Sue. I love these flowers and use them over and over again. But .. I've never thought of micro beads in the middle. Such a clever idea. That's why you are so cherished - all these brilliant hints and tips. Kim did so well and her samples were lovely. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Hi Sue
Lovely card. I have to make a card for a special birthday and this will be perfect for it.
Norah you really have such excitement when you go out perhaps it is just as well you are staying at home today. I know what you mean about the convenience of disabled facilities. At my local hospital which is only 13/14 years old. Never enough parking so have to park in the supermarket car park and walk uphill to the hospital. Then walk the length of the hospital to get the lift that goes down to the dungeons l call them that in the basement then walk along the corridor to the cardiac unit. If you have not had a heart attack by the time you reach the unit your ok. Come again in a months time to repeat the process. I might add the place for blood tests is just inside the main door. Have had my rant for the day. Happy crafting Wilsonettes. Love and hugs Ann x

Hi Sue, I absolutely adore this one you are an absolute whiz Sue! The look reminds me of a picture frame and I can see it as a sweet card for a newborn baby or a grand child's first Birthday with his or picture in the frame!

Absolutely adorable card so crisp, clean looking and elegant I love it. I do especially like the basket weave embossing folder and use it often, always looks good on a male card.
So pleased you are staying at home today Norah, give your heart time to recover from all your exploits!
Margaret corgi owner
Hi Sue. WOW, WOW, WOW !! I love, love, love this card !! I am making a card at the moment using my Aster dies !! This card is amazing and just for once I have all the ingredients except the alcohol inks !! It is so elegant, pretty and delicate looking. I love how you have done the basket weave frame. A definate must try. I would definately have a go at making this card but I have one major problem - my Grand Caliber broke last night. I am heart broken. The long strip of black plastic inside bolted to the rollers has completely split. My hubby has taken it apart and glued it and left it to dry but I don't really hold out much hope. If any one has any suggestions please let me know thank you - I would be so grateful. I am very lucky as I still have my ancient old cuttlebug to fall back on but I cannot use any of my grand dies in it like the frame you made today Sue. I can't believe it - just when you make the first card that I actually have every thing for !!
Well any way Sue, Thank you so much for bringing us such a fab video with lots of great hints and techniques and a beautiful card that is really my kind of card.
Lots of love to every one Love Tres x x x
Hello Sue,
Fantastic video and WOW what a beautiful card so fresh and elegant looking, I want to get into my craft room NOW and have a go at this one - it really is beautiful.
Tres I really feel for you - it must be awful your GC out of action, let's hope your hubby's magic works.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
So beautiful,love it.

Hi Sue,
What a beautiful, beautiful card - I love the frame, the stamped/embossed flowers and the actual flowers with those fantastic centres. And what's really good is that I have all the goodies so will certainly make a card like this.
Hugs,
Rose
I love this card today Sue, the flowers are gorgeous and the hint of colour just sets the whole thing off. I do have the Asters die set and stamps so I must give it a try.
The textures, shapes and look of the card is wonderful.
I’ll watch the video later.
Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl.
Hi there Sue and all Wilsonettes. Norah love, have a rest day, you so need it.
Sue, Im in love. Your gift to us today is the most beautiful, graceful piece of art. As you all know, I never NEED, or want all these lush items, good job really, but I did kind of mention both this die set plus another to Mr L this morning, as Mother's Day and Easter fall after my next fair, I have so many of each to make ready, that this set and Sweet Juliet (I think, the set Julia works wonders with) are a must, bless him, he suggested he buys 'metal flowers' for Valentines as they will last much longer and give me soooo much pleasure : ) so I may let him do that - when I've considered the price of each,
but how sweet of him, but feel guilty that I even mentioned how beautiful they are !
Sue, you do make the most beautiful flowers, and I remember you showing us the micro beads and how you colour them to co-ordinate with your flowers and I must give it a try to use on my next lot of cards.
Thanks ladies for agreeing to help promote Sue's fab blog, I know one particular lady who will be SO grateful to YOU for spreading the word, lets face it though - for all Sue does for all of us, she deserves all we can do to help : ) one thing I DONT believe in is taking people or things for granted. I know just how you feel Tres, not having the use of your GC, I only have the Big Shot, and feel so miserable that I cant use A4 folders or Grande dies, and feel I am being held back with my cards, so I hope you get something sorted soon, I dont know how long you've had it and if its still under guarentee, but if its already been glued by hubby its unlikely you can get it replaced, such a shame though.
Cameeli, any news re your interview yet, Im getting cramp in my useless deformed fingers : )
Well, Im done, hope everyone is having a nice day.
Hugs to all.
