A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi crafters! I know that this isn't the usual type of card that I offer on the giveaway, but I thought I would mix it up a little bit just to see if there was any interest in a clean and simple styled card. Leave me a comment today if you would like to be in the drawing for this card. Today's card showcases the Discover Your Wings stamp set from Taylored Expressions. I have to admit, it was a bit of an experiment here as I just wanted to see what sort of look could be achieved with these stamps. I stamped them first with just clear Perfect Medium to get a watermark look. Next I stamped the same stamps across the bottom of the card using a black Archival ink pad. I cut a mask with a circle die and sponged some white snow cap ink through it to create a moon in the background. I dried it well with a heat tool. I removed the mask and used the side edge of the perfect medium pad and swiped it across the sky area a few times. I used some blue mica powder and dusted the swiped area, then used a tissue to remove any leftover mica powder. I stamped the sentiment in the upper corner of the card. Using a white gel pen, I added a reflective edge to the moon. I cut the entire piece with the Grand Large Label die and did some matting and layering with black and white card before finishing with a double white pierced mat layer. Perfectly flat for easy posting! Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. Winner to be announced on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x
Dear Sue, that's the prefect sentiment for you and all the crafty crew and this is my king of MAGIC truly stunning, elegant, Love it!! Have a nice day. Cameeli xx

Good morning Sue and Wilsonettes What a beautiful card and anybody would love to receive it. I love how you've done the moon it looks so effective (another must try technique for us). I love the simplicity of today's card it looks so atmospheric. The sentiment is perfect and the watermark is lovely.

I am practising colouring Easter bunnies for my grandson's Easter card and after loads thrown in the bin I DID IT 😄 I certainly did the happy dance lol. I hope everyone is ok Hugs x Heather T
Hi Sue, this card sings to me - I love it! Easter card design is on my mind and your design today is just perfect. I like to add a little cross ( or 3!) to my Easter cards and I can easily do that with this fabulous card.
Hi Sue I love the simplicity of this card, if I have to post cards I keep them simple and flat, but the hand delivered ones get the extra dimension. Happy crafting Love Tina x
Very different from you today, but I have to say, very effective. I particularly like the watermark effect, it gives the scene some depth. Love the moon today. I would give this card a good home!
Simply gorgeous It's my favourite card of the year so far. I love the effects you've achieved, the drama it creates, just everything & the bonus is that it's flat for posting
This is a beautiful card, looks very arty. I love the way you have used a white pen, and also the shadows of the flowers. Very clean and crisp, a card that doesn't need any dressing up. hugs. Theresa x
Hi Sue this is so pretty and the colours are serene. You can imagine being in the image it is so peaceful looking and I love the sentiment. I think this would look nice in a frame and if I won it that's where it would go. Thank you Take care all x
Hi Sue, this is a very tranquil card makes me want to whisper it's just beautiful, love how you've made the moon look so misty like a very early morning, these stamps are lovely another must have coming on!! Not a usual Sue card but still beautiful as always . Hugs Jean D

Love this card Sue-colours lovely and I like the way you have stamped and watermarked. Will definitely be trying this technique. A lovely card and sentiment to receive, thanks so much for showing us, XxxRuth
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes, They say less is more and with this card it is certainly true as it is beautiful and so simple. The colour is just right for the card that you have made showing the shadows up perfectly. Nearly a mascot yesterday after crossing the road and a bus coming through a red light. Of course with the lousy legs equally determined they were going at their pace and not speeding up for anyone, not even a bus, it got round me with cms not even inches to spare. I'll tell you the wee ticker was going into overdrive, so giving them the day off today. Have a good day everyone and hopefully i'll see you tomorrow. Love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Hi all Wonderful Wilsonettes. Have an appointment so cant stay this time, but what I WILL say is that this sentiment is exactly how we feel about Sue, without her love of craft, and her inspiration plus her dedication to this blog AND US, we could have fallen flat on our crafty faces.

You may think 'who am I to preach' but someone very close to our hearts needs US right now ( I always keep a promise) we have been given SO much pleasure, we have jad many opportunities to receive, so can we ALL please give back by promoting Sue's exceptional blog, and her dedication to us. I know we can build up followers again for we are the WILSON WILSONETTES.

Morning Sue, once gain you have amazed us with your unique style. This card is really beautiful, very spring like. The sentiment says it all, take care, Jess xx
What a lovely card, so simple in design but great for lots of occasions, the stamp is gorgeous, I am a sucker for seed head stamps though. Hope you are well and are able to have a bit of a rest. Xxx
Hello Sue, I was very surprised after looking at today's card that you called it an easy card, as it looked to me as though you had masked more than the moon, so I was pleasantly surprised in reading its recipe. It is a really lovely card and very striking even tho its not your usual style. X Ros
Even though this is not, as you put it, one of your usual cards clean and simple is still a winner as far as I'm concerned. It's so pretty and I would love the opportunity to give it a new home. Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Margaret A.
I love the card Sue, I have lots of silhouette stamps and must get them out and use them. Would love to be in the draw for this masterpiece. Margaret O xxx
Hi Sue. What a beautiful card today !! I love how you have done the silhouette stamping, the watermark stamping, and the mica powders !! The moon and masking looks great !! I love the colours and the fab sentiment. A truly great card using great stamps and clever techniques. I would love to have the chance to win this card. I watched your video yesterday. I never had any problems with it. The video was fab !! Your card was amazing !! I really, really loved it !! I am really sorry but for some reason I did not comment yesterday and I don't know why. I honestly cannot remember why because I watched the video then read some comments from others and must have just left !! I am sorry Sue. In my defence my illness makes me very forgetful. It has made my memory become steadily worse over the last few years. But I really did love your card and I was so pleased you used the Radient rectangles die set. ( one of my favourite sets.) I am going to buy the stamp you designed to match this die set. It is a must have stamp for me !! I love today's card to but this new stamp set will have to wait !! At least your stamps are affordable !! Lots of love to you Sue. Hope everyone is ok. Have a lovely crafty day to all love Tres x x x
OMG, I love, love, love this card. I love silhouette images. And with that sentiment it is hauntingly beautiful. What stamp set did the sentiment come from? The same as the main focal element? I must try this card! Would be proud to give it a new home. Thank you for your continued inspiration. I'm loving the video tutorials. I find them much easier to follow. Fab!! Take care. Jules
I know this card isn't your usual style but it is gorgeous. Would be extremely happy to receive it and I am definately going to have a go with the techniques you used.
Sue what a fabulous card. 1st time I have posted 'cos I didn't know how to!! The card brings such peaceful and maybe nostalgic thoughts and I shall be constructing it many times this year I feel. Thank you so much for thinking of the postage too!! Hugs Maureen
Beautiful card, not your usual type of card, but lovely, clean and crisp. You really are such a perfectionist in all that you do, thank you for all the inspiration that you provide it is so much appreciated. Hugs, Jen xx Krafty Keepsakes
Hi Sue, Hello everyone, This is certainly not your usual style - as you say, however,it is so lovely! It is like a painting! I love the moon and shadow work and I just think it has an almost ethereal look! This follower would love to give it a home! I would frame it as has been said already. Oh Norah, how awful, take it easy today! Love to all, especially those not feeling on top of their game. Myra
I absolutely love this card - it has to be one of my favourites. I love the colours, the way you have used the stamps and how it has all been combined with the dies. Whoever gets this, is one very lucky person. More like this please Sue, thanks. Pam x
Hi Sue, what a beautiful, serene card. I love how you've done the sky - mine wouldn't look that beautiful, you've got just the right touch. Absolutely lovely. Hugs, Rose
Good Afternoon Sue, I'm even later than usual today, have spent the morning in the kitchen being a domestic goddess ha ha hah AND now the afternoon is all mine !!! I love this card, the stamping, colours all the techniques, it's just beautiful, I would certainly give this card pride of place. Take care, love Brenda xxx
Hi Sue, Love this card. In fact, I prefer it to some of the more ornate cards you have been doing recently. And you have chosen a lovely colour too. xx
The technices that you have used on this card is what I'm going to try this afternoon ,don't know if theywill work or not but am going to try.. Just have to say how much I love this and all your cards.
GA Sue - had another read of your instructions - not sure if I am being a bit thick .....But did you start with blue card or white card and ink it up (if so with what ink) I am guessing it was blue card but not 100% sure - sorry to ask - hope you dont mind! Rgs Clare W
Hi Sue, just the kind of card needed on certain occasions. Clean, simple but also has an elegance to it too. I love it, thanks Sue. Please may we have more stamping techniques. ValC xx
Hi Sue , just home from work ( started at 2.30 yesterday lol ) I adore this card for an experiment you have excelled yourself, totallt different , love the watermark flower then black archiva inkusedl on top gives great dimention. The way you highlighted the moon using a pen is so simple and yet gives a great effect. A beautiful clean cut card thank you for the inspiration , I now eant give this a try as I have never used these teqniks before xx
Hello Sue It may not be your usual type of card but I love it, so pretty and spring looking to cheer us up as the weather here is definitely not spring looking!
I had trouble with your video yesterday and was unable to get it to play for longer than about 30 seconds.
Hi Sue this is such a pretty card so fresh and clean the colours are just lovely also love the watermark tecneque thank you for the inspiration. I Would love to win this card. Love & hugs Lynda Brock xx
Hugs to all wilsonetts & good luck on this giverway card xxx
Hi Sue, Love the look of this card it may look simplistic but there is a lot to it. Im not quite brave enough yet with my stamping but I like the ghostly effect with the back ground stamping. I will keep trying though. Thanks Sue. Alison B. x

Hi Sue Well what a different card for you NO BOWS NO RIBBON NO SPELLBINDERS DIES. NO PINS NO DAZELERS But what a beautiful card you have produced I love it Sue your inspiration goes on You take Care Sue Theresa x
Really impressive card Sue. You truly have many talents. Wish I was as artistic with stamps but think I will have to stick with the dies. Love it all the same
What a pretty card and I love the idea of the mica powder across the moon. It's nice to get away from all the die-cutting and fancy cards just once in a while -a refreshing change. Janet (in Kent)
Definitely would love to win this one! Loving C&S cards and they are not as easy to do as they look. The moon effect is brilliant. Love every bit of this one. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hi Sue A very beautiful card which anyone would love to have. The scene reminds me of a warm summer night in the garden with the flowers all around me. Take care Hazel G x
Hi Sue and all Wilsonettes. Norah I hope you've rested up today after your awful shock yesterday ! Well.Sue your experiment has gone down a treat with us all. Its a beautiful work of art, such a soothing picture to look at and I agree to a lot of ladies here, that it would freshen up any room if hung. It has that beauty of an eariy sky, but the serenity of a late spring afternoon. I love the effect just a few colours and card have made, it just goes to show you can put your hand to anything, something we all admire about you. I think Im starting to experiment more now thanks to your blog and your tutorials (although I cant believe I asked the most stupid question ever regarding your CIC technique) !!! The design of the stamp is beautiful, and you know how to bring them all to life, sheer genius. Good luck lovely Wilsonettes. Hope you have all had a good day. Hugs. Lancashire Steph xxx p.s. Does anyone else think the new Andrex loo paper with butterflies and flower stems would make such a pretty stamp/embossing folder ? : )
Hi Sue, I love this card it' s such a change for you!! The colour is great (blues my favourite) I also love the background effects. Carry on with the "mix up"lots of hugs Grandma Sue
Sue, I just love this card - if this is what is called 'clean & simple' then I'm hooked. The stamping is gorgeous, really love it, please do another or this by video? Hugs D x
Hi Sue Beautiful card!! The moon shadows are great. It looks like a photo or painting!! It may not be your usual style but it is magnificent!! Would love to see this card in person. Thanks, Karen

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
They say less is more and with this card it is certainly true as it is beautiful and so simple. The colour is just right for the card that you have made showing the shadows up perfectly.
Nearly a mascot yesterday after crossing the road and a bus coming through a red light. Of course with the lousy legs equally determined they were going at their pace and not speeding up for anyone, not even a bus, it got round me with cms not even inches to spare. I'll tell you the wee ticker was going into overdrive, so giving them the day off today.
Have a good day everyone and hopefully i'll see you tomorrow.

Hiya sue and gang. Oooooh love love love it. Plain simple and superly stunning!!! I really like the watermark look haven't tried it but looks so effective. I dunno what I'd do without this blog and all the help and inspiration you bring to all of us
Love Tracy from killie xx
I like it, it just doesn't seem like 'you'. I had a devils own job to find a pic (close up) of the stamp set, but eventually tracked down one. Come to think of it, I have something similar I could substitute.
I'd be very happy to give it 'houseroom'. Hugs.
Good morning Sue

Hi Sue
How beautiful is this card its so simple but stunning all at the time I love it soooo much truly magical card, hugs sarah xx
What a lovely card, so simple in design but great for lots of occasions, the stamp is gorgeous, I am a sucker for seed head stamps though. Hope you are well and are able to have a bit of a rest. Xxx
Hello Sue, I was very surprised after looking at today's card that you called it an easy card, as it looked to me as though you had masked more than the moon, so I was pleasantly surprised in reading its recipe.
It is a really lovely card and very striking even tho its not your usual style.
X Ros
Good Morning Sue,
Even though this is not, as you put it, one of your usual cards clean and simple is still a winner as far as I'm concerned. It's so pretty and I would love the opportunity to give it a new home. Thank you for sharing this with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
It may not be your usual style, but it is stiill as lovely.
A classy elegant card - I love it. I also loved the cream and teal card with the sparkle that you did with this stamp in the off-set oval.
Hi Sue
Wow this card is simply stunning!!! I have just bought this stamp set and you have really inspired me to try out a few techniques. Thank you.
What a beuatiful card Sue and Thank you for being ther every day, have a good one Elaine x

Stunning card and luv the shadow stamping with the versarmark xx fab xx GailT xx
I think this card is really beautiful and restful. I love the shading. I would frame it and have it as wall art.
Lovely clean and crisp. May not be your usual style but just love it as always
Hugs Sue x
Hi Sue. What a beautiful card today !! I love how you have done the silhouette stamping, the watermark stamping, and the mica powders !! The moon and masking looks great !! I love the colours and the fab sentiment. A truly great card using great stamps and clever techniques. I would love to have the chance to win this card.
I watched your video yesterday. I never had any problems with it. The video was fab !! Your card was amazing !! I really, really loved it !! I am really sorry but for some reason I did not comment yesterday and I don't know why. I honestly cannot remember why because I watched the video then read some comments from others and must have just left !! I am sorry Sue. In my defence my illness makes me very forgetful. It has made my memory become steadily worse over the last few years. But I really did love your card and I was so pleased you used the Radient rectangles die set. ( one of my favourite sets.) I am going to buy the stamp you designed to match this die set. It is a must have stamp for me !!
I love today's card to but this new stamp set will have to wait !! At least your stamps are affordable !!
Lots of love to you Sue.
Hope everyone is ok.
Have a lovely crafty day to all love Tres x x x
It´s still a beautiful card, even a bit different from your normal style, and it´s a gorgeous colorscheme, you´ve used on it too.
Hi Sue, a beautiful card I would love to win.

You may not be surprised to find that I would be very happy to give this card a home - no bows or flowers in sight! ;) It is lovely.
This is a lovely card,so atmospheric. I would love to give this card a home. It would also make a lovely picture if it was framed.
OMG, I love, love, love this card. I love silhouette images. And with that sentiment it is hauntingly beautiful. What stamp set did the sentiment come from? The same as the main focal element? I must try this card! Would be proud to give it a new home. Thank you for your continued inspiration. I'm loving the video tutorials. I find them much easier to follow. Fab!! Take care. Jules
Your took clean and simple to a new level. Love to have this card in my favorites collection.
I know this card isn't your usual style but it is gorgeous. Would be extremely happy to receive it and I am definately going to have a go with the techniques you used.
I love everything about this card Sue. Definitely going to try to do something similar with the stamps I have. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the colours and what a good idea to give inspiration for a flat card which is less expensive and not so difficult to post.

Hi Sue,
Hello everyone,
This is certainly not your usual style - as you say, however,it is so lovely! It is like a painting! I love the moon and shadow work and I just think it has an almost ethereal look!
This follower would love to give it a home! I would frame it as has been said already.
Oh Norah, how awful, take it easy today!
Love to all, especially those not feeling on top of their
game.

Absolutely lovely.

GA Sue - had another read of your instructions - not sure if I am being a bit thick .....But did you start with blue card or white card and ink it up (if so with what ink) I am guessing it was blue card but not 100% sure - sorry to ask - hope you dont mind!

Ita
Simple and clean I really like it .

I love the subtle effect you gave with the background stamps being so much lighter than the same stamp in the foreground. Makes an elegant effect.
Hi Sue , just home from work ( started at 2.30 yesterday lol ) I adore this card for an experiment you have excelled yourself, totallt different , love the watermark flower then black archiva inkusedl on top gives great dimention. The way you highlighted the moon using a pen is so simple and yet gives a great effect. A beautiful clean cut card thank you for the inspiration , I now eant give this a try as I have never used these teqniks before xx
Stunning card Sue love it xx hazel

It may not be your usual type of card but I love it, so pretty and spring looking to cheer us up as the weather here is definitely not spring looking!

Really impressive card Sue. You truly have many talents. Wish I was as artistic with stamps but think I will have to stick with the dies. Love it all the same
this is gorgeous x
What a pretty card and I love the idea of the mica powder across the moon. It's nice to get away from all the die-cutting and fancy cards just once in a while -a refreshing change.
Janet (in Kent)
Definitely would love to win this one! Loving C&S cards and they are not as easy to do as they look. The moon effect is brilliant. Love every bit of this one. Hugs, Carol S.xx

Hi Sue and all Wilsonettes. Norah I hope you've rested up today after your awful shock yesterday !
Well.Sue your experiment has gone down a treat with us all. Its a beautiful work of art, such a soothing picture to look at and I agree to a lot of ladies here, that it would freshen up any room if hung. It has that beauty of an eariy sky, but the serenity of a late spring afternoon. I love the effect just a few colours and card have made, it just goes to show you can put your hand to anything, something we all admire about you. I think Im starting to experiment more now thanks to your blog and your tutorials (although I cant believe I asked the most stupid question ever regarding your CIC technique) !!!
The design of the stamp is beautiful, and you know how to bring them all to life, sheer genius.
Good luck lovely Wilsonettes.
Hope you have all had a good day.
Hugs.

p.s. Does anyone else think the new Andrex loo paper with butterflies and flower stems would make such a pretty stamp/embossing folder ? : )
Back at ya Sue. Nice to see something simple
Gorgeous
