Hi bloggers! Today's video is a rather short one (by my standards) and I hope you can find a few minutes to sit and enjoy it. There is a great technique for using the Spanish Collection dies and getting a completely different look from them. I hope I have piqued your interest! Since this card was shown during the sneak peeks in Feb., I have added a second card below to the post for you too.
The second card today was a bit of an experiment as I just wondered what it would look like if I scribbled with my Distress Markers onto coconut white card and spritzed them with water so they bled a bit. I decided to go a bit further so I dried them well and then stamped over them with the Butterfly from the Justrite stamp set called Butterfly Kisses using a Black Archival ink pad. I added the sentiment which was from the Vintage Rose Labels Seven stamp set by Justrite. Then, of course, I had to see what it would look like covered in a bit of bling so I added a sticky adhesive sheet to it and covered it in the Iced Snow. I matted and layered it all in white with some piercing around it and it was finished in about ten minutes! Fun and quick, you can't beat that! Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size.Don't forget to tune in to see Julia Watts in action today at 9am and 3pm on Create and Craft tv . She has some brand new lovely stamps to show off as well! All for now, Sue x
Fab cards, Tina, I hope your toenail is feeling a bit better now. Try not to stress about the wedding, I know its difficult but you have had such a hard time lately you dont want to make yourself ill for the wedding. It will be a glorious day
ReplyDeleteOh wow Sue both cards are absolutely stunning, i love the lilac one as its my colours but i love the sparkly bright one too, it looks sugar coated!!! hugs and have a good day, Vick xx

ReplyDeletereally love the first one I'm sure you
showed the butterfly one before I think you
demo'd it on C&C a long time ago but I really
like it fab.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, love the Spanish collection card, so calm and pretty. I saw the butterfly when you did it on C & C it is very striking. If I did that it would look like something a two year old had done.
ReplyDeleteLove Rosemarie xx
Good morning Sue and everyone.
ReplyDeleteWell,there's two diametrically opposed designs but both lovely.
Have a great day.

Hi Sue, "WOW WOW WOW" The Video is Fabulous thank you so much for the Tremendous Techniques, I so love it when you show us all different ways to use the Dies, I Loved the Colours you used the Perewinkle is so soft but I love how you use Black to Mat and Layer as it makes it really stand out, I love how you created the Die into a square it's Fantastic how you look at your Dies and see them in so many different ways.
ReplyDeleteWhat a Beautiful Second Card if I did that it wouldn't look like yours I've got that Stunning Butterfly so I may give this a try, this is why I Truly Love your Blog you'll try different things and they've always been
Absolutely Stunning.

Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteWell, I love both cards, but think the first one is my favourite as I love lilac. The butterfly card is also lovely and I love the background with the distress inks, will give this a try.

ReplyDeleteLoved the video and the gorgeous card Sue and the 2nd card is wow. A great play piece must try it some time.xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, your dies are just gorgeous. I really like the periwinkle colours and the way you changed the shape of the die which makes it even more versatile. I really value all the ideas and techniques you bring us. You are a star!

ReplyDeletemorning Sue
ReplyDeleteI very much enjoyed our get together this morning in your craft room and today's gift is definitely scrumptous.
I have now decided upon my next purchase and it is going to be today's background die. Until I saw the finished product - cut and out of the die - I couldn't visualise how delicate and beautiful it is.
Beautiful colours today too.
Off now to place my order - hope Joanna Sheen has it in stock.
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
What a contrast between the two styles of cards - I love the butterfly one, but maybe would prefer it without the glitter! Thanks for sharing, Susan x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue, and everyone.
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards today, and so different!!
It is always good to experiment. You never know until you try!
Have a wonderful day. Love and hugs. Hilary xxxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeletetwo stunning cards today. I will have to watch the video later, as I shall be in Southmoor most of the morning. two different cards today. Both cards are very different but both equally gorgeous. I wonder if you can do the squiggle technique with promarkers?, as I don't have any distress markers. I shall experiment Sue just like you.
Stunning card Sue love them both xx hazel
ReplyDeleteWow two very different cards but both stunning. Really love your dies Sue. It's great to see the different techniques as it helps feed our own creative juices.

Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow, two cards again! They are so different but I love them both.

Vow, Sue, two absolute stunning cards. I love the technique on the butterfly card. Must try that one out, TFS. Loved the video too....
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.....
Morning Sue, two beautiful cards today, love the butterfly. Watching Julia as I type. Take care everyone Jess xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteYour top card with the white, blue and black is beautiful Sue and the touch of black is just enough to make it pop. The second card is typical of the type of weather we get here in the UK, snowing when it's now into the warmer season and the butterflies are going around. It's different from your normal Sue, but so pretty. I love how the colours have run so that it is more designer. Simple yet beautiful and plain in the very loosest sense of the word as there it is anything but plain.
Tina flower, being in pain is a norm for us and we cope with it, but someone coming and taking half your toenail off is a very different, eye watering, oouching pain entirely. Oh how i hope you are in better foot form soon and you are anything bar a wimp. I so hope that that pain calms down soon for you. Your poor daughter must be in bits with worry about her dresses as it is coming up fast. You're trying to keep a lid on the anger pot as you are not wanting to upset her anymore than she is already, but i think we can all understand what you are going through. My own wedding was a hoot from start to finish. Cake was won in charity auction and came the night before instead of week and was the wrong one. Baker & wife had split up that week so my cake went else where. My 2(1 future unmarried sister in law) bridesmaids decided they weren't getting measured for their dresses after buying 4 different colours to suit them all. The 2 flower girls(hubby's neice's) the oldest had been slimming doing great until SIL fed neice on McD's and new dress had to be made 2 weeks before wedding. Dog ate my headdress & bouquet. Cleaned everywhere apart from the ridge under the bannister marking my long ivory gloves so had to carry them. Wedding car 30 mins late couldn't find wedding ribbon for car. Eldest flower girl tried to jump the slushy puddle and landed in the middle,home to be bathed and shoes, dress & cape to be washed, dried & ironed before returning. Doc called for mum at midnight as bleeding from stomach, injection then, back at 2am and 6sm for more. As i say i had a wonderful wedding, guess what number i live at????? Lucky white heather anyone?
Fame01, Sarah hope the wee lass is ok and recovers quickly.
Have a great day everyone and i hope to see you tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Gleochil)
Good Morning, Two treats today,I am about to sit and watch the video, Sue I love the videos, they are brilliant, its like having you here!
ReplyDeleteSo much easier to watch a technique than understand an explanation.
off for a cuppa and a watch,
hugs
Sandra xx
Hi Sue, two lovely cards today. The first card is gorgeous using your lovely dies. The second card too is gorgeous and is so different and looks very modern. Thanks for your video, I do look forward to watching all your videos.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue. These cards are lovely in their own way. But .. that butterfly and squiggle card is something I just have to have a play with later. Don't have the pens so will try with ink pads, a bit of water and a mister and see what I come up with. Will also try with just a touch of sparkles instead of doing the whole page. All I need now is the time! xx Maggie (better without a bow)
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Sue!
ReplyDeleteThey are so different from each other, but they are both lovely.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X

ReplyDeleteTwo very different cards but both fab, have a great day E x
Good Morning Sue,

Once again I shall have to watch the video a little later but in the meantime thank you for sharing these with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteTo fantastic cards and another brilliant video, I love your background dies Sue, they are stunning - I like using my background dies as you have done on your video, but if you want to cut them out Matting Basics B is just the right size.
Have a good day everyone, I am off to see youngest grandchild play her violin at school as part of the soundstart program!
Take care love Brenda xxx
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards today (although my favourite was the blue/white one) and a great video. I'm loving what you are doing with your dies Sue and my Californian decorative frames has just arrived this morning...I love what you can did with this on a previous video.
Many thanks again for all the inspiration you give us.
Love Sheila xx
Two very different cards but both stunning in their own way,I love the Spanish dies but don't have any of them YET ! Will watch the video when I get home tomorrow .Norah I'm sorry but I fell about laughing at some of your pre wedding disasters! It reminded me of similar happening to me but as I'm having to cut my comments short I won't go into details now. Hugs to all xo
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, love the cards.
ReplyDeleteWOUW both cards today are really beautiful. The first one is so elegant and gorgeous and the second one is fresh and fun but still very beautiful, and I actually like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteTwo totally different cards but they are both lovely
ReplyDeleteLovely cards today. I like both but think I prefer the first one.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone,
Sue, two really different cards today but both gorgeous in their own way! I love the first one - it is just so very you! It has become very me but needless to say I can't make them like that! The second one is so cheerful and as I have the butterfly will definitely give it a whirl! Will have to watch video later. Will certainly be watching Julia - although not the Live Shows as am off today to do some crafts in a Care Home with the Residents! We have good fun and those who can't participate enjoy watching the fun!
Oh Tina, what a day you had yesterday! All that stress is not good for you but you already know that! So sorry about your toe - ouch - hope it stops throbbing very soon! Trust bridesmaids dresses problem solved today!
Brenda I hope you have a super time listening to your granddaughter play her violin. You never know - you may have a budding violinist there.
Have a good day, Sue and everyone and take care!
Love Myra
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBrenda, SORRY said granddaughter - you said grandchild! Should read more carefully! Apologies!
Love Myra x
two fab cards today,like the bright feel to the second one and the dies are great in the first card .Laura O
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuper cards, love the mix of dies and how you adapt them to fit, and the bling encrusted distressed rainbow card is stunning.
Donna Jones
Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo very different but both cards are really beautiful the first is so rich and the second is a reminder that although the weather is so cold summer is coming...I hope!
Tina look at the plus side your toe, ouch! has 2 more days to recover before the wedding and the later the dresses arrive the less chance the bridesmaids have to gain or loose weight. Remember have some 'Tina time' each day and take things easy or at least try!
I do know what you are going through been there and got the tee shirt twice over. Do hope Summer the cat is improving.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them.
Margaret corgi owner
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love the periwinkle/ white card and will watch the video later. Your second card looks like fun but I doubt my squiggles would look as good as yours!!
Best wishes, Pat
As I wasn't a Follower in Feb the first card is new to me, Sue, so I am glad it has made an appearance today. It's gorgeous. I love the layering & colours & thanks for the video. The butterfly card has great sparkle for a photo too.

Hi Sue. Fantastic, It's video day !! I loved your video today and the card you made was just gorgeous !! Black, white and Periwinkle blue, what a beautiful combination of colours Sue. I have fallen in love with Periwinkle blue at the moment. We'll your new dies that you used today Sue are certainly dies to die for !! They are all gorgeous and are all on my great long wish list !! I really loved all of them. I am still patiently waiting to try and get my hands on them at Alley Palley but you are not making it easy for me Sue. I want them all NOW !!!!! I hate waiting !! Hubby keeps teasing me saying if I buy stuff now I will have less money to spend at Alley Palley so I am sitting on my hands.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of cutting the die in half to make a square instead of a rectangle. Such a simple but genius idea !!! One I would never have thought of. I really love everything about this card and when I can get hold of the dies I will be having a go at this one.
I really like your bright colourful butterfly card to but I do not have any distress markers. I may try it with my ink pads using the same technique as Maggie (without a bow.) I really like to add depth to my cards and I think I would make a second butterfly to stick on top of the first for some dimension. I love the iced snow to. Another Item for my Alley Palley list !! Thanks Sue, you are so clever !!
Pam, sending you a big hug today, I hope you are ok.
Tina, Hang on in there and I hope you recover soon and your Wedding problems get sorted out !! x x x
Norah, I loved reading your comments about your Wedding day !! I hope you have a lovely day love Tres x x x
To Sue and all the Wisonettes, I hope you have a lovely day today lots of love Tres x x x
very elegant first card and I love the effect on the butterfly one - fabulous xx
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I hope you have a lovely day listening to your granddaughters violin playing !! Take care. Lots of love Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteSue I bet you had fun making this 2nd card. Its just great and the 1st one is absolutely Granada to a tee if you get my drift. I just loved the card (and Granada!!). Next on my purchase list I feel is the rest of the Spanish collection because there are so many ways to use the dies thanks to you. Hugs Maureen
ReplyDeleteLove that experimental card - simple yet quite stunning :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards - Thank You. I love them both. I love the versatility of your new dies - brilliant. Thank You.
Bye for now.

Hi Sue Love both the cards today, especially love the butterfly card, just what natures about, a beautiful rainbow of colour. Have a great day everyone. Xxx
ReplyDeleteLoved the video Sue and thanks for showing us yet again how to use our dies in different ways. Going to have a go doing the butterfly card as it looks fun to do with my 3 year old niece. She loves to 'help' me craft. Only problem is .....hers might turn out better than mine. Maybe I should have a sneaky go first. Hugs Pauline A x

Gorgeous Sue. I love the colours in the first card. I also love the effect from the second. Amazing the difference a bit of bling makes lol. Have a great day. Lots of love Jo xx
ReplyDeleteLove the top card, not too sure about the second, love the sparkly effect though
ReplyDeleteBoth cards look amazing. Love the colourful one.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteYour cards today are stunning, and the butterfly card looks a simple, but very effective technique, I love it, and a video too. You are like a Ferrero Rocher, " you are really spoiling us".
Norah, are you sure you were'nt shooting a carry on film, called carry on Norah's Nightmare, makes mine look a whimsical walk in the park, and you made me laugh . Thank you. The latest news on the dresses are, they arrived at the bridal shop this morning and she said she could fit 2 of the bridesmaids in today for any alterations at 3,o clock. About 1/2 an hour ago the bridal shop rang to say, that there has bee a gas explosion next door to the Mayflower Theatre,and they have closed the road and evacuating all businesses in that area, and she is one of them. Can you Adam & Eve it. I don't know if you will hear this on the news in Scotland today,so now I have to wait for her to let me know when it's safe to reopen her shop. I guess it could have been worse, she could have rung and said the dresses have blown up. I do have a smile on my face, promise.
Toe sill throbbing,I have just had dressing changed, that made my stomach churn. Hey ho, it's only a toe.
Steph, Thinking of you today X
Kind regards :-)
A really good video explaining some interesting techniques to make this superb card.
ReplyDeletegorgeous cards Sue, must remember to tune in and watch Julia this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteTwo totally different cards and both of them lovely. The first one has the classic look that you always do so perfectly and the second one is such a fun design and the sort of thing even the most inexperienced crafter could have a go at. Pat x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteL do like both of today's cards but I think the sparkly one is my favourite - I might do another butterfly and add it over the top of the other.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, both of them. I really liked the second one when I saw it on C&C and it's a godsend, as I have to do a quick one for someone who likes butterflies....................
The first one is worthy of the "P" word, it must be said. Absolutely divine.
Hugs, Rose
Good afternoon Sue, two very different cards.
ReplyDeleteLove them both, must have a go at the "scribbling" really like that effect.
Hugs
Patricia xxx
Both of these cards are wonderful. Love them both.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards Sue, the butterfly is very effective, but stop using items I don't have please! Been a bit stressful here today, my daughter has a place for uni in September to her final year PCGE course to be a teacher, and has to get her skills tests done by the 21st of this month, she did them both today but failed her literacy one, the numeracy one she was dreading she passed, fingers crossed she can get it next week, as she will only have one more chance then can not redo them for another two years which will put a stop to what she is doing at the moment, arghhh why is nothing ever easy.. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards and so different to each other
ReplyDeleteFab video great dies, great cards. hugs Theresa x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue great video and your Dies are lovely,I nearly had a heart attack when you cut,and cut again.i have to get over this lol both cards are super thanks for the inspiration .
ReplyDeleteIta.
Great idea with the first card, showing how versatile the dies can be if you cut them up and lay them out in a different way. Not totally convinced by the second card. It IS different and original, but reminds me of a card I once made when the kids were small .... it was nice until one of them got hold of a crayon!!
ReplyDeleteLove both the cards.Good to have a play and try out new things.
ReplyDeleteHelen Bx
A couple of great cards, looks really fun stuff on the second one.
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards Sue, my favourite is the Butterfly one for the colours, love it.

Two amazing cards, the first looks so beautifully filigree, the tip of converting a rectangle die into a square opens up a whole new range of possibilities! Love the bright colours in the second card and the iced snow gives a wonderful 'bling' effect to that gorgeous stamped image. Thank you for the super ideas and inspiration.x
ReplyDeleteHellooooo Sue and all the Wilsonettes! Ooooo Sue, yesterday's THREE-fer giveaway cards were gorgeous! Wow! You are so generous! Good luck to all you lucky people! Then today another twofer and a video as well. Wonderful and "thank you" for all you do x Beautiful cards today. Loving those dies and the way you have cut and pieced them together. Love the colours together. Stunning butterfly. I love those "happy" bright colours and the "shiny" effect. One to cheer up your day.... there again any Sue card would brighten your day!! Awww Tina, you take care of that toe and hoping that you are able to get into the shop for the bridesmaid dresses. Just sit quiet with your favourite music coming through those headphones and chill xx Bless you Norah. By 'eck, so what could go wrong, went wrong! Luckily the love bit took over all the obstacles.... xx Hope you've had a great day Sue! Pam sending you and all the Wilsonettes love and hugs, take care, xx Love Karen xx
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to....me eh?
ReplyDeleteLove the cards today, the butterfly is my favourite as I just love them - and Pearls too!!
I have just received one of your dies today and have some of the flunky animal stamps too - so i can try them out at the weekend.
Too much craft stuff but not enough time to play with them.
Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl
Lovely, another video and two gorgeous cards. The first one is very 'you' and the idea that the background die allows for any border width to be created is so clever. The technique with the distress markers certainly worked well! Just shows it's always worth experimenting.

Evening Sue and all Wilsonettes. I did manage to watch the tutorial this morning, but Debenhams was calling, or should I say my darling bride to be was asking (again) if Id done anything about my wedding outfit (you know the one - my second worse nightmare after driving test and farmers wedding cards !
ReplyDeleteSo anyway after being picked up off the floor a dozen times or so after squinting at price labels ( thought they had started printing the date, let alone price) !!!! Anyway I slouched back as by the end I couldnt decide where I hurt the most, with two bags, yep TWO bags, one with a navy dress, one with a beautiful deep victorianish pink fasinator, fascinator, whatever, a band with fussy stuff and half a bird on it plus a pink jacket ordered from M&S, the shoes and bag will have to wait, but at least Ive made a start : )
and yesterday I ordered my Italian die from my little craft shop ready for the wedding card. When I got back Id had my invite for her Hen 'do' HEN, me ? More like a tough old turkey the way Im feeling right now ! Haho.
So to calm my body down I thought Id join my lovely family here whilst dinner is cooking and its so lovely to unwind with 2 beautiful cards, I must admit Id totally missed the pretty 2nd card, its so happy and colourful Sue.
Corgie Margaret you are so kind, I do have the little tree thank you and used it many times since I had it, such a quaint little die again thank you for your thoughfullness.
Oooo Tina what an owie. Id have cried like a baby having that done ! On the other foot thank goodness the dresses are safe I was dreading reading the rest you had my heart beating out of my chest so goodness knows how you felt when she called !
Tomorrow is another day and I really hope its SO much better than the past 2 !!
Well Im all done so Im sending love and hugs to you all.

ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards as always, they are both so different but I am drawn to the Butterfly scribble, it looks frosty and colourful and very effective.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust had time to watch the video. Now you are a magician! How to turn a rectangle into a square ! So lovely! I really like that card and as you said on the video so simple - now that you've shown us how! Love the colours and have the card and dies so - will do my very "bestest" as a child in my class used to say!
Had fun time crafting this afternoon with some ladies and gentlemen in the Care Home! We made all sorts of Easter eggs which are now hanging on ribbon from a painted twig tree! Lovely to see people relax and have pride in what they've achieved.
Thanks for all your help.
Steph - outfit sounds lovely! My stress levels are going down and I'm just reading about your escapades! X
Evening Sue, two great cards and another enjoyable video thank you. Kind regards Joanne K x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother two beautiful cards and your videos are so helpful. Tina hope everything goes well with the dresses and your toe is hurting less today. Norah thank you for making me laugh with your wedding day blues. I haven't laughed much lately. Love and hugs to everyone.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue and Everyone.
ReplyDeleteWow two very different cards

2 beautiful cards but so different, needed inspiration for a pearl anniversary card, thanks for some ideas. The butterfly card is so lovely, the iced snow never lets a card down, I just love it.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Love the colours on the first card , but think the second one is very innovative. the way the colours have gone together is fab. Who would have thought a bit of scribbling could look as good as that!!
ReplyDeleteLuv
