Hi bloggers! Such a simple and elegant card today for you. Perfect for a wedding or anniversary or any special occasion really. I have added a second card for you today since this was part of the sneak peeks for the blog release in Feb. Don't forget to click the subscriber button on Youtube so you can be notified when any new videos are uploaded!
Finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. Now on to the second card today as promised!
A coffee card from the shows back in February. I started by creating a background using my score board. I made a wide border by scoring around the square of coconut white card. I cut a small square of
periwinkle card and stamped the "steam" swirl in the middle then used the
Tied Together folder on it. I added pearls to each of the embossed junctions and inked the edges with some
picket Fence distress stain. I stamped the
coffee cup from Justrite on periwinkle card and embossed it with white powder. I cut it out by hand and mounted it up on foam for dimension. I coloured it with
Stormy Sky and Broken China distress inks. Using the Vintage Floret die, I made a small flower out of vellum and added it over the flower that is actually part of the image on the cup. I stamped a friendly sentiment then added it to the coffee cup handle with some
Bakers Twine. I used my piercing ruler to add my usual pierced edge to my coconut white mat, then layered a thin mat of
periwinkle with a final white mat to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Take care.

Great cards again.Love the scoring on the second one - so simply effective.
Two beautiful cards, Sue! The filigree bow and border with pierced edge make such an elegant card and I love the colours and that wide embossed border on the coffee cup card. Very pretty!

Hi Sue,
Two absolutely beautiful and stunning cards for us today. The wedding card is so elegant and understated and could be adapted for any special card and has to be my favourite of the two. Love and crafty hugs to all, Alison xxx
good morning Loving both cards once again but the wedding one is simple and elegant.
Have ordered the bows so can't wait to use them.
Alison Dent xx
Morning Sue
Love both cards. The first is so elegant, it would also look lovely in red and black for a Valentine Day's card.
I really like the way you have scored the background on the second card, so precise, Perhaps a need for an embossing die to get such a crisp finish? The other elements are so pretty. Anne x
Hello Sue, 2 fabulous cards, the wedding card is very elegant and the dies just make it. But I do love the scored border on the 2nd card, it must have taken ages. Great video with tips on putting the bows together. Bx
Hi Sue
Both of these cards are stunning! The white one shows " less is more" to a tea and I love love love the scored background on the teacup card. Love the colour too. Thanks for sharing. Crafty hugs to all.
Hi Sue,
These two cards are stunning, I love them both. Have been given orders for 5 wedding cards, as well being asked to do my daughter's wedding stationary, so these cards have given me some ideas. Thank you. X
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO ASKED YESTERDAY BUT SUE'S MOM'S BIRTHDAY IS ON 27th APRIL. I LOOKED BACK TO LAST YEAR'S BLOG. I DID POST THIS LAST NIGHT BUT IT MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED?
Hi sue
Two stunning cards love both can not make up my mind which one I like best going to do both cards at the weekend thanks Tracy w x
morning Sue
Today's get together in your beautiful craft room really set my day off to a wonderful start.
I'm just so jealous I haven't a wedding to go to so I could use today's gift. It's so so so elegant and simple and again like yesterday has gone into my 'less is more' file with the hope that I can use it at sometime. White on white is always a winner with me. I used your filigree bows yesterday for the first time and they are gorgeous as you say. A beautiful change from ribbon.
Take care and see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Two lovely cards today Sue thank you. I like the simplicity of the wedding card, very sophisticated , and the cup card is simple in its own right. I do like that embossing folder, it will be on my wish list. Hope you have a good day with your mum. Love Diane G xxxxx
Morning Sue WOW two more stunning cards I love them both. I think the first one is perfect for a wedding. Must go and watch video while im on my own. Take care xx
Debs xx
Good morning Sue, two stunningly beautiful cards, love them both. The wedding one is so elegant will have to use that soon.
The second one, my goodness ........ what patience to create that border, love the idea though.
Could be a future "smaller" embossing board maybe!!!
Have a fantastic day
Hugs
Patricia xxxx
Sue - it's me again - I forgot to mention the second gift for today. I have been trying for quite sometime now to get the stamp of this coffee cup but have not succeeded.
It just seems to be very scarce. I ordered it from C&C when you demoed it but it never arrived. I just so like this stamp so will keep trying.
No-one seems to have it in stock.
Janet x
GM Sue - card No 1 is pure class - will watch video later. Card No 2 - especially like the scored background -even the corners are mitred - looks fab this effect. Must try that.

Hi Sue. Two absolutely stunning cards again. I love the elegant simplicity of the wedding card and the score board border on the coffee cup card is pure genius! Thank you for more brilliant inspiration. Hugs,
Maggie x
Hi Sue and everyone, the first card is elegant simplicity, so pretty and less is more kind of card. The second love the colours and all the work to get the borders so right must take lots of careful scoring. Both cards equally lovely x
Two lovely cards, especially the second one-looks great.

Morning Sue. Two beautiful cards today. Wedding card simple but top notch. Love the scored borders will have to try that. Fab..... take care. Hugs Heather.x
Both are gorgeous. Actually very proud as I made something very similar to the first card and just love it. Really like the scored effect on the second card.
Good Morning Sue and Everybody,
What elegance in its simplicity for a wedding card, beautiful.
The coffee cup equally stylish, really like the scoring.Thank you Sue.
Love from me, Lis xx
The first card is gorgeous and I love the scored border on the second one. I must practise that.

Good morning Sue both cards are gorgeous. I will watch the video after work. Like others I like the scored border on the second. This is something I would like to emulate. Have a great day. Love Jackie
Morning Sue, morning Wilsonettes. Firstly - FLOSS - Many thanks for the info regarding Sue's mom's birthday. Yep its this coming Sunday and mom's name is JILL. I did contact Sue asking if it would be appropriate and would her lovely mom like 100+ Birthday wishes' and we have the ok to go ahead. Imagin how chuffed Momma Jill will be and Sue said she will love it : )
Florida is 5ish hour's behind us, so as we oooo and ahhhh over two beautiful pretty cards, Sue is still snoozing, probably dreaming about the next lot of new dies and what she can do with them ! Is that creative, artistic, clever mind still ?!
I thought I had our daughters wedding card or sorted in my mind until this gorgous beauty flew out at me, she is a woman who likes little fuss, plain but beautiful things is what Lou appreciates, so this card is so perfect, although I have 2 extra dies to invest in not the origional one die I first thought about, but like I just said, they will out live me, so these dies are an investment.
I have the coffee cup stamp and its really pretty. You bought it to us just as I had a request for a best friend card who loves coffee, so I had the perfect reason to buy it, it makes a beautiful versitile card. Both cards are stunning, really fresh, and the scoring makes everything else on the card pop.
I hope you all had a good night sleep, and feel rested and well.
Looking forward to seeing 100's of happy birthday to Jill ( Sue's mom) on Sunday.
Sorry if it 'niggles' anyone, but I shall give a quick reminder from tomorrow onwards, its the least we can do considering she has loaned her wonderful daughter to us.
Hugs to all today.

Janet (Ecco of Sheffield ),
You can get the Coffee stamp from Sunrise Crafts at £10.49, free p and p. I have ordered from them many times and their service is great .

6am Pam : ) mine and Tina's nickname for you : )
If you are 1st in on Sunday it would be lovely if either you or Cam Richmond could start the happy birthday to Jill (Sue's mom) messages ?
Thanks to both of you.

Both beautiful. Love them.
Cam - would you read messagebelow on Pam's blog entry please : )

Morning Sue, the wedding card is stunning, so simple but such impact. The coffee card is beautiful too, love how the printed steam looks like its coming out of the cup! Love your edging too, clever idea.

WOW! Again, both cards are gorgeous! I love the wedding card it looks so simple but sumptuous at the same time,I think it reminds me of the back of a beautiful wedding gown, and the score lines above and below the congratulations sentiment highlight it perfectly.
The second card is adorable too, I don't have this stamp but I do have a die which is very similar ( cup & saucer )so I'm sure I could come up with something similar, I have the entwined circles folder but might have to put this one on my wish list,also agree with other comments about the mitred scored border it's sooo precise and just lovely ,an idea for a new folder hopefully? Hope you are having a great time with your mum!
Hugs to all xo
Morning all. I love your videos Sue.The 2 cards are so different but just as lovely. Hugs Theresa x
Hi Sue,
Both of these are stunning cards, very elegant and would make beautiful cards for any occasion.
I hope that you are having a well earned break with your family, we miss you already.
Hugs to everyone
Dawn Searle xxx
Sorry ,back again ,meant to thank you for the excellent video.
Think it's a Great Idea Steph , about the birthday wishes!
Good Morning Sue,
Wow these cards are so sublime, i love the simplicity of them both, the cup one reminds me of wedgewood with the powdery blue.I love using 'tied together' and haven't for a long time, i also have the 'coffee' stamp set as i love coffee and couldnt resist so i may just do something similar. Like you, i see this as more of a tea cup, like one of the fine bone china cups rather than a coffee cup but hey,who am i to argue, all i know is that what you have made with it is better than tea!!! LOL, hugs and have a great day!, V

Morning Sue, Absolutely love the wedding card, it is so elegant, wish I had had those dies this time last year. The coffee cup is just brilliant. All that scoring, as someone else said a good idea for an embossing folder !!

Hi Sue
Gorgeous gorgeous cards today. I love the simple white on white Wedding card so elegant can't wait for my bow dies to arrive this is a must try.

Hugs Annx without an "e"
Hi Sue, Well what can I say other than Thank You for the Fabulous Video, and the Awesome Card.

Then today you are kindly sharing yet again another Truly Amazing Card I'm lucky I have this Stamp as I bought it for a special reason as you know it comes along with another Beautiful Sentiment, I Love The Tied Together Embossing Folder I wish I could get that, the Fabulous Flower you created from Velum, it also looks Beautiful with just a small Sentiment Hello.

Hi Sue,
Absolutely beautiful, both cards!
I don't know how you can create such a stunner of a card with just a border and a bow or just a coffee cup, but you've done it.
Absolutely lovely creations, both of them. Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Rose

Hi Sue,
Such elegant cards, the simplicity of the white on white card proves that sometimes, less is more. The delicate die cuts really speak for themselves. The periwinkle and white of the second card reminds me so much of the Wedgewood china my mother loved to collect, (blue was her favourite colour) and the 'tied together' folder is so effective, one of those go to crafty items.
Hi Sue
Well 2 stunning cards I love the cup stamp that's on my wish list for my birthday, hugs to all who need one take care Sarah xx
Hi Sue,
Ohhhh so, so pretty, both of them. Love the simplicity. Truly gorgeous.

Good morning Sue, and everyone. Two lovely cards Sue and I am proud to say I have just finished an anniversary card for my son and daughter in law along these lines. I did use a striplet, your bow and also your rose dies, which I tinged with pink. I love white on white but decided to use a bit of colour for an anniversary card. Have a lovely break. I am off to Rome tomorrow for a few days so will miss your blog. Xx
Love both the cards sue but the tea cup gets the edge on being my fav!!love the style colours and the design, again wonderful hugs to all I read most entries on the comments yesterday and I thought what a lovely place to be with so many lovely kind people. Thats the reason I come back everyday such a warm start to the day thank you all for bring you!! Hugs
Lorraine
Absolutely love both of them, stunning. The wedding card is simply beautiful and so elegant. I just love the blue and white combo of the other and have fallen in love with the coffee cup stamp. Am going home for a couple of days so will look forward to catching up with more of your stunning creations when I get back next week as sadly no internet access at parents house. Hope you are having fun in the US. Xx
Love both of these cards. What a very interesting border on the second card!!
Hi Sue - love both of today's cards, especially the elegance of the white card, and it would look good in any colour too. The scoring in the second card is very clever - another brilliant idea. Hope you are having a wonderful time with your mum. Best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue
Two stunning cards today. Will watch the video later as I shall be out in Southmoor today. The first card is stunning and will of course lend itself to a special occasion. The second card is gorgeous. I love this design especially the scoring. Will have to have a go at this, it really makes the card pop. Thanks for the info on Sue's mum. I shall have a look on Sunrise crafts for it, I also order from them as well and they are a good company to order from. Althought if you are after Spellbinders etc please look at ICON.CO.UK website. As a lot of things are cheaper on there and mostly no P & P especially on Spellbinders. Have a great day Sue with your mum.
Thank you so much for a lovely video! The card is so clean and elegant, and the bow is adorable. The other card is so charming. I love it :)
Belinda Raven said,
Hi Sue, loving your videos - they make my day! They have become my reward for doing some chore or other that I'd rather not be doing! Both cards are stunning but the coffee cup just sings to me - I will be making this in all my friends fav colours. Thank you for these very special pieces of inspiration.
Hugs, Belinda. X
Hi Janet. Creative expressions online shop may have it if not let me know cuz I can guide you to where I got mine when it sold out. Hope this helps. If I remember I will post the online shop I had to use, nxt day delivery if ordered by mid-day and great customer service.

Great vid and loving the bows I do have the other set I got it from Joanna sheene. I am off to a craft show today at the bath and west show ground. So looking forward to getting some goodies there and meeting some new crafter hopefully as I am going alone. Have a great day all
Debra x
Morning Sue. Two beautiful cards again. The first one is understated elegance as you say can be used for any number of occations. The frame on the second one is great and could be used for those diffacult people in our lives men and liking the way you stamped the steam on the background card and then stamped the cup for your mane image. Once again two great cards. Hope you are having a fab time with your family and having loads of fun.
Best Wishes.

Hello from sunny!! Cornwall, two beautiful cards, just what I need for my daughters 10th wedding anniversary
On the second card is the mitre cut or embossed?
Best wishes Lilian.
Both Gorgeous Cards Sue!
The wedding card is stunning. I love how you've used the borders and finished them off with your gorgeous filigree bows.
The coffee cup card is lovely and I do like the colours you've used.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Love the embossing on the second card but the elegant simplicity of the first is fabulous.
Could do something similar with my beloved Striplet.
We all wished Jill a very Happy Birthday last year so I'm sure that folk will be doing that gladly and happily without much prompting.
Have a great day.

Morning Sue, Two gorgeous cards I
didn't think you could top the first
one but when I scrolled down and saw
the second one well I just couldn't pick and I love the way you put the scroll
in for the steam genious.
Nancyd xx
HI Sue 2 beautiful cards again today. I have used your design for the wedding card a few times for Anniversary and Birthday cards. The one with the coffee cup is lovely, the blue and white colours look very fresh and light.
Denise X
Love both cards, do really love the clean and simpleness of the first one. Hope you're enjoying being back in Florida, lucky you.
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
I feel in love with the Wedding card the first time i saw it and it has never wavered as it is absolutely stunning. I think without the bow it could make a beautiful Sympathy card as less is definitely more in that situation. The 2nd card is a lovely Just Because/ Thinking of You/ Miss our Coffee Together kind of a card. It has me thinking of making a box frame to the back of it as the lovely channeled embossing would be a beautiful frame, building up the inside as decoupage, oh my heads birlin' today with ideas.
I'm in on the mega Happy Birthday Momma Jill as everyone deserves to be treated like a Superstar on their special day and who better to give that Hollywood treatment than our own shining stars' mum.
Glad to see that some of our Wilsonettes have had lovely times up here in Scotland, yes it is hilly and there is not much more to do here than walk and enjoy the beautiful landscape that is our lovely country but most of the locals are friendly. Even our 4 legged locals don't bother who is coming or trying to go down they're roads, that is until you meet our heilan' caye(eye with a k in front). On a trip that mum and dad took down from Skye one of the times they met up with the 4 legged locals who just saunter anywhere they please. Dad getting a wee bit harrassed at this point starts shouting at them to mooove (heeheehee) out the road. It turns its head up from eating to look at him as if to say"you talking to me?" and carries on in its pursuits. Now as this was the spring of 91' after my wedding in which we had got my dad a camcorder to give him an interest (Which didn't work, back to the sorting of cars) mum took to learning how to work this thing. She's filming away at the sights and scenery and you can hear dad in the background getting more and more frustrated, he suddenly starts swearing(which just wasn't him if women or children where in proximity) and mum shouting at him"John, you've turned my movie into a blue movie". Well i think its the only way i can hear my dad now, but i'll take it but always gently laugh at mum's blue movie. So morale is ladies and gents, if you are determined to get off the beaten track and see the real Scotland, remember some of our locals just have no manners and take no heid of you (Princess Anne included) as she is a frequent visitor through our part of the country going up to her Scottish base. Tandy and Vanessa, i hope you keep coming to our happy shores and for those of us that live at the seaside already, lucky you.
Sending gentle hugs to our Pam, Judy and everyone else that could do with a little comforting on our happy wee blog. I am so chuffed that the number of people telling Sue that her hard work is appreciated by coming and leaving a comment, it makes it all worthwhile for her. Hope you and Mum are having a lovely time Sue and you are having some rest at least.
Love and crafty hugs from a beautiful day here at the Ochils, with the sun in the sky and some fluffy clouds not doing anything with no care in the world and my beautiful hills so prominent and clear in every detail,
Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue,
Two stunningly beautiful cards, the first one is so elegant, and the scoring on the other one is fantastic, like Patricia said perhaps an embossing folder in a similar mode.
Have a good day.

2 Lovely cards Sue ..... happy crafting ....x
2 stunning cards again. We are being spoilt.The wedding card is perfect in it's simplicity.
Don't know if you had noticed, but Coleman's craft warehouse is doing 3 for price of 2 with Sue's dies, but be careful...I was placing an order last night and although it says free delivery on their advert, when I got to check out they tried to add £4.99. I live 2 and half hours north of Glasgow, and still very much mainland, but according to them I must be on an island. Abandoned order on principal, and will go back to Joanna Sheen as usual, but some of you may be able to take advantage of this offer.
Cheers
Janice W
Morning Sue,
Simple, stunning but oh so very elegant.....an ideal wedding or anniversary card.
Oh and I love the ble and white card too...the teacup and saucer stamp looks so pretty the way you have made it.
....and to top it all a great instructional video....many thanks again Sue.
Love Sheila xx
Hi Sue. Both of these are gorgeous :) I will have to watch the video later on today but the 1st card is a perfect CAS - Clean And Simple for those that are new to card making. It took me ages to realise what it meant, it is obvious once you do know isn't it, another one of my many "Doh!" moments :)The 2nd card is another beauty, I love the detail on it.
A hug for Pam, and anyone that are feeling low.
Norah, you made me laugh with your tale yesterday, bless you : )
Pam S Witney, have a good day in Southmoor, I know it well, should do as I live there, he he, funny how we could walk past each other and not realise isn't it!
Cameeli, I'm sure you already know but you could get shoes died to match any colour. Not cheap though. If you get really stuck think about using Promarkers, or similar, to colour a white/cream pair! I did this once to a pair of my daughters after she was a bridesmaid with cream shoes that would never have been worn again otherwise. It worked a treat (I sprayed them with waterproofer after dying!)
Welcome to all of the new Wisonettes, someone asked yesterday what it meant-sorry can't recall who- it's a name that someone came up with several years ago for all of us Sue Wilson fans : ) Take care.
Gppd Morning Sue,
Two beautiful cards today - I love the first one especially, so elegant yet keeping it simple. Fabulous. Thank you for sharing these and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Morning Sue, both cards are pretty, but I particularly like the wedding card, as I just ordered that bow set over the weekend! So thank you for the ideas. Hope Mum is enjoying your company.
GOR-G-EOUS cards today. Thanks Sue. I haven't read the blog so forgive me if I repeat what anyone else has said but initially looking at the coffee cup I thought your flower was either sugar lumps OR marshmallows. Concentrate Mabe!!! FAB-U-LOUS as always.. Thanks Sue. Mabex
Hi sue, Simple but stunning cards today, hope your having a lovely time with your Mum. Love Elaine x
Stunning cards, Sue! Your bows are so pretty, will have to be on my buying list. Thanks for the nice video too.
Two stunning cards Sue. The first one is so simple and yet so elegant......
Hi Sue

Morning Sue and all, 2 stunning cards. The wedding one is so simple, elegant and yet WOW at the same time. The second makes me want to make these and send out as invitations to my friends for afternoon tea or coffee. Just gorgeous

Hi Sue
Two lovely fresh looking cards,love the blue colour,very pretty.
Love Angela x
Hello Sue. Well this card is just for me. Loved the video, the filigree bows of course (as I have already used them so often) and the clean simple lines. The other card is pretty too - just in case it feels left out. Have a great day. xx Maggie (better with a filigree bow)
Good Morning Sue - well you have spoilt us with two beautiful cards both stunning. Just love the frame around the second card and the first is clean white on white is a personal favourite.
To all in need a big hug and I just wondered if maybe on Sunday we could all post twice once just Happy Birthday to Sue's Mom and then a comment. Just a thought. Helen xx
Loving both cards. Sue your Umbria die arrived yesterday and l am thrilled with it. It cut out like a dream and looks fantastic. I can't wait to show it off. Crafty hugs Ann x
Morning Sue, Two stunning cards, the wedding card is so elegant and simple, and the font is beautiful. The second card is beautiful, I love the scoring, I can't fathom how you have got the corners, I will have to have a try.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue, love both cards.
Hi Sue, two gorgeous cards. The first version very elegant using your beautiful dies. The second is gorgeous with the tea cup. I will have to catch up with your videos in a couple of weeks. Away in sunny Devon with our touring caravan.
Wow what stunning cards Sue. I have no idea where you keep pulling your ideas from. I adore the first card and I think the second is stunning. The scored border is amazing. An idea I will keep stored in my head to do at some stage.
All best wishes Lea x
Two gorgeous cards today.Love them both.Especially like the scored lines in the second one.

Two absolutely gorgeous,stylish cards Sue.
Hello Sue and all the crafters,
Such a beautiful wedding card, simple yet elegant. Sometimes I forget the principle of less is more and have a tendency to keep going. I must remember that it is possible to make beautiful and elegant cards quickly. My god daughter is getting married this July so you have inspired me to try out some new ideas.
Have a great day,
Bertie.
Hi Sue, omg, omg , omg these 2 cards are sublime. I love the simplicity of the first one and what a great card for a wedding invite classy. You must have the patience of a saint to get all the lines on the background for the second card, even the corners are mitred !!!!! a beautiful card to send to someone just to say hello. I bought the "Coffee" stamp set when I saw it on one of your previous shows and enjoy using it. Lol to you and mom lynne m x x x x x
Fur babies after lulling me into a false sense of calm on Tuesday by behaving relatively well are now on top form. Yesterday was their second birthday so booked the gromming visit for then. Door was knocked so got their leads/collars on to take them to the awaiting van. Tails wagging cuz they thought mum was taking them out, off they went ready to explore the outside ( or so they thought). As they spied the van their bums hit the pavement and their claws dug into the ground. No amount of coaxing would budge them. So I had to pick each one up ( separately) as not small dogs) and carry them to the van. The embarassment of it to think that I have wusses for dogs. I thought all ladies loved being pampered.When I told hubby of it he laughed and said that he didn't think our two were ladies!!!!!. Today, just to to make sure that they stay clean for more than 24 hours I am having to, when they are in the garden run round after them to stop both from rolling on the grass. Its not walking the dogs now its "Running the mum". Hugs and lol to all Wilsonettes. lol lynne m & CLEAN fur babies x x x x
Hi , sorry should read grooming not gromming.
Hi all. I feel I owe all long standing Wilsonettes an appology. After trying to find last year's blog on my phone (plus Im not one of the brightest bulbs in the box) as far as finding my way to or around blogs) unless someone holds my hand ! But what a blinkin muppet Ive been ! So sorry ! Why didnt it occur to me that many many of you have filled.Sue's blog each April 27th with Happy Birthday messages to Sue's mom ! I am really sorry, my enthusiasm must have been very irritating to those Wilsonettes ( not my idea to give that name my I add) who have supported Sue's blog from the 1st day she went 'live' as the puter people say !
So please accept my sincere appologies to those that have thought under their breath "oh LS stop telling us how to suck eggs" !! : )
My enthusiasm will be just for the stunning work we are lucky enough to see everyday here : )
Opps - Sorry.

Hi Sue
Two beautiful cards again. I couldn't choose a favourite because I love them both. Very clever idea using your scoring board for the second card. Thank you again for all your inspiration.
Bye for now.

Hello Sue my striplet lattice heart has just arrived I love it. Could you please put a photo on your blog of the card you made in the first show on c&c as that's what made my buy the die but can't remember all the detail and I didn't tape the show silly me. Say a big hello to your mam xxx joan
Morning Sue, both cards are beautiful. I really love the first one so clean and elegant. Hope you are having a great time with your mum.
Hi Sue
Two beautiful cards again. The wedding card is so elegant. As I have said before I have only just started crafting with dies and can't wait until I can afford to get a good collection of yours (perhaps they might increase my pension if I ask nicely).
Have a lovely day everyone
Jean
Gorgeous cards. Love the pretty bow on the first.
Great cards as usual Sue. The wedding card is lovely of course, but I love the cup and saucer
Good video showing your piercing technique and making up the lovely bows.
Great video and such a beautiful card for a wedding.
The second card is beautiful too I love the color blue...
Well done Sue
Morning Sue,
What a lovley wedding card clean and crisp what a pretty bow, would love a cup of tea,the cup and saucer is so cute.
Sonja H. xx.
Hello Sue, Two breathtaking beautiful cards, the first is o clean and love the bows, I had to hunt high and low to get my hands on them, they arrived before your shows. The second card is so appropriate for my coffee, just had to get that stamp, the little velum flower is scrummy. Thanks for the great video. Hope you are having some relaxing time with your Mom.
Pam, Judy M, Tina, Tres, Tandy, Steph and Norah loving hugs to you.
Lynne M the fur babies sound adorable and feisty, good luck in keeping then clean.
Hugs to all that need one.
Take care everyone.

Hi Sue
Loving these 2 cards - really quite simple but elegant.
Think I will try the bows again, and again and again!!
Enjoy the day.

It's a glorious sunny day in Blackpool, quite warm too, so don't feel I'm missing out on the sunshine of the USA.
I love both cards especially the simplicity and elegance of the wedding card.
I have been watching the weekend shows I recorded. Lol, I felt completely honoured that we had seen most of the samples on here. How lucky we are. I've seen the first three so far but it goes without saying that the dies would be popular. They really are beautiful. And to see them all showcased together is stunning. You really do deserve an award/commendation on these dies. They are so easy to use, card perfectly first time and release effortlessly. Fantastic for me with bad dexterity.
I only have 2 Spanish, a californian and a striplet so far but I would love to own the complete set including the beautiful stamps. Here's wishing! Lots of love to all, Jo xx
Hello Sue,
Another brilliant video and and the card is absolutely stunning, the second card is gorgeous and I love how you created the frame effect. We are so blessed that you share all your wonderful inspiration with us, THANK YOU
Big hugs to everyone who needs them especially those in pain or sorrow. LOL
It's lovely to see how the number of comments left on your blog has grown. A big welcome to everyone I'm sure you'll get loads of inspiration and if you need support everyone who contributes is there for you.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Two more lovely cards to enjoy, thanks.
Hi sue Great video I have a set of bows the dies and your inspiration has given me an idea for making gift thank you cards, so that will be fun!!
Mrs B thanks your Idea is marvellous!! On Staruday I enquired about the coulour matching but tit takes 3 weeks too late for me on this occaision. I have an old pair of Ivory satin shoes so I am going to test the promarker as soon as I get home.
Will let you know how I get on.
Cameeli xx
Love, love, love both of the cards today, but the first one is stunning. White on white always looks so elegant.
Yeah Sue, you've done it. Its official lol. Maggie loves a bow : )
Love the new name Maggie - keep it lol : )

Hi Sue and all crafty Wilsonettes!
Two beauties today Sue, thank you! Have used the cup and saucer stamp a lot! However the embossing with the blue and white makes it look like delicate blue and white china. Gorgeous! Love the first card too - lovely to have some cards which don't take too long to make but still have the Sue Wow factor.
Hope you are having a lovely time in sunny Florida.
I am in a bit of a flap today - too much to do and not enough day! This is being done while having my lunch.
So, just sending crafty hugs to everyone today!
Love Myra
Ps. Cameeli I too have used pro markers on shoes! Admittedly not entire shoe! Had black shoes with a cream trim - trim looked grubby so used a royal blue on the trim! It matched a coat! Several asked me where I got my shoes! My husband was mortified when I said I'd coloured them in!
Hi Sue
A beautiful and very Elegant card.Thank you for the Video which i will watch later today.The second card is also beautiful. I do love that embossing folder .
Take care
Hazel G x
Hi Sue
Two gorgeous cards, love the elegant simplicity of the wedding card and the scored background of the coffee cup though I don't think I would have the patience to do that
No crafting today, the sun is shining so out in the garden weeding
Best wishes to everyone, Pat
I love both these cards Sue - what a treat. Adore the tied together folder - just wish they had made it in the A4 size!
Just to let everyone know Sue's dies are for sale on the Colmans Craft Warehouse site and at the moment they are 3 for 2!!!! However, the postage is almost a fiver but if you are stocking up still a good deal. Hope everyone is enjoying some sunshine today. X
Two lovely cards. I love the teacup image, very useful. I would make it have a cup on me and include a tea bag.
hi sue two great cards again
Afternoon Sue, wow wow wow, two gorgeous cards, have ordered the die you have used on the first one and cant wait for it to come, also ordered your filigree bows. The white card is sooooo elegant I am thinking of using that design on a wedding card I have to make. Yvonne xxx
Hi Sue
Two outstanding cards absolutely wonderful, I have used the first design several times for different occasions and all were received very well with lots of praise! I just love the striplet die, it cuts like a dream, all your dies do.
Cameeli have you tried for matching shoes in bridal shops/departments as often they have a variety of colours for bridesmaids? Hope the butterflies keep going well, cleaver lady.
Oh Steph no one could get upset with you please don't you worry darling. Just a thought how if we all left the birthday messages up until a set time on the day and then left Sue her messages later in the day that way they would all be grouped together for Sue's Mom?
Norah I sometimes come up to Stirling to a patchwork shop and love it up there, although we have to allow time for my hubby to visit a few distilleries!
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them especially those who are struggling at present.

Good afternoon Sue, two such different but enchanting cards. The wedding card is elegance personified and I just love the imagination of the second using a flourish to represent steam from the cup and the border looks so good. Thank you, love from Jackie D
Hi Sue. WOW !! I love the video and I love, love, the gorgeous card you made !! White on white is so classy and elegant. This is a beautiful wedding or anniversary card. I do not have this border or the filigree bow but they are definitely on my wish list.
I really like the second card to, and the embossed lines you made as a background for the card are so clever. Please, please, please could you make an embossing folder like this, it is just fab !!
I hope you are having a nice time with your family.
Lots of love, Tres x x x
To all the Wilsonettes, I hope every one has a great day, love Tres x x x
Lanc Steph, you dont have to apologise for having a huge kind heart and trying to help people. I for one appreciate the reminder for the 27th as I am sure do many others. I will certainly be one of the many who will send Happy Birthday wishes to Jill. Just carry on being yourself Steph, thats what we love about you.
Hi Sue
Two lovely cards today. Such a simple card but looks so stunning. Glad to here you arrived safely and best wishes to your mum. I hope she has a very enjoyable birthday.
Love Eileen L.
How lovely these are. Both quite simple, but so original and 'want-able'. My favourite is the teacup such a lovely stamp and easy-ish to cut by hand. I just love the effect of the distress stain around the periwinkle square too. Funny the things that press our crafty buttons, eh?
Can't wait 'til I have time to watch the video.
Hi Sue
You are defiantly spoiling us while you are away on your travels
I do love the first card and I might just have to pinch the idea as there is an wedding anniversary I need a card for
And it looks elegant but seems easy to do.
The second card is done on the colours I love and I know Vick got the stamps when they were on the shows I wasn't sure if I liked the cup but the way you have done it. It is growing on me. Lol.
Hope all you crafty followers are well
Sue you take care
Theresa x
Afternoon Sue, I love both of today's cards, the first so clean and simple in design and the second is also simple Ina scream like way but how much work must have gone into that perfect border, you are amazing Sue with your talent and patience xxx
Hi Sue
Two beauties today but the first is my favourite,i just love tone on tone. Was notified today that my dies have left the warehouse so holding my breath till they arrive and I can get cracking. Hope you are getting some well deserved rest.
Love Jan x x
Hi. Love both of your cards today. Especially love the white on white - gorgeous! Hugs to all xxx
Hi Sue
Lovely cards , like the second one best, love the scored surround, so eye catching.
Best Wishes
Julie Bee
Hi Sue,
How lovely two cards today. I really can't make up my mind which I like best but I think the second one might just pip the post as I love the 'score board' wide border on it. How come I never manage to think of these things? Hope you ae recovering from your long journey.

Love & hugs to Sue & everyone Lynda Brock xx
2 stunning cards again. I especially like the first one, beautiful in its simplicity. It was seeing this card in the previews that encouraged me to buy the die to make the bow - needless to say I have since had to buy the other bow dies and the stamps as well (sorry Mr Bank Manager)
Sue,
What amazing cards. The wedding card is just so elegant in all its simplicity. The coffee cup card, well what can I say, blue is my favorite color, so it is gorgeous. Thank you for the video, great instructions.
Hi sue. Ur cards are simply georgeous. I'm a big fan of your new bows. And asy lovely craft shop owner as u know gave me one for my birthday I've used it non stop. I then treated myself to the classic bow too. Bought the coffee cup at the weekend but haven't had a wee minute to play with it. But it's sooo cute
So Janet from Ecco from Sheffield. I got mine from craftology on line £9.99 plus 1.95 p&p they have it in stock x
Love Tracy from kilmarnock
Two amazing cards, the first a classic and very elegant white on white which highlights the beauty of the dies and the second showing the great effects from embossing.x
To Ecco of Sheffield
Hi Janet, Sam Poole has 1 of the coffee cup stamps left on her website if you haven't found it yet - you might need to be quick in ordering it!, love Alison xx
Especially love the congratulations card, so simple but classy.
I received my "prize" from you via C & C today and love it:)
Sue x
Wow - two absolute stunners today Sue! I really like the scored effect you've done on the border of the second card and to frame your sentiment on the wedding card. Thanks for sharing, Susan x
Love both cards especially the all white one, I absolutely love these bows there fab.
Jane xx
