Hi bloggers! I just love this card for a clean and simple, let the die do all the work sort of card. The video shows just how easy it is to use the dies without the cutting edges to create a beautiful card. This card too was shown during the release week blog hop so I have included another card for you today as well.
Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size.
Today's second card is a clean and simple quickie card. Using the
Daisy from the Taylored Expressions Oops A daisy stamp set, I inked it by colouring directly on to the rubber with
Tim Holtz distress markers. I used
Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord for the petals and
Mustard Seed for the centres. I inked it with the markers, then spritzed it lightly with water and stamped it. I stamped it several more times with only a spritz of water in between to achieve the generational stamping look. I repeated the steps twice to cover a wide strip for my card. I just love the watercoloured look you get this way. I stamped my sentiment (from the
Creative Expressions Bold sentiment set) in
black Archival after drying the piece with a heat tool. I matted it with a thin black mat and added it to a plain white card background. If all that open white makes you a bit uncomfortable, just emboss it for a bit of detail! I finished the card with a double white pierced mat for a real time saver sort of card. Any sentiment could work here as well! Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning cards Sue, just love them, you are amazing. Paper Junkie, so sorry to hear about your sister, no wonder you needed a G & T. I am so envious of all the ladies going to Ally Pally and hoping to meet with one another, wish I could be with you, I know you will all have a fantastic time. To all my wonderful family on the blog, Steph, Norah, Tina, Tres, Cameeli and Oh so many to mention, keep safe and well.

Hello Sue, love both cards, but the aqua is my favourite, probably because of the die used. Bx
Two exceptional cards Sue
Love them both xxxx
I like having two cards to inspire me twice as much!
HI Sue,
Thank you for the lovely cards, so pretty.
I too wish I was going to Ally Pally but its too far to travel - will be thinking of you all. Have a fab time and spend up!!!
Much love,
Shirley T. xxxxxxxxxx
Two lovely cards, Sue, love the daisies.
Happy day everyone!
Both are lovely , just like you Sue !
Crafty hugs Rachel x
Hi sue
Two more stunning cards. How do you keep coming up with these fabulous ideas! I love the water colour effect of the second card but then stamping is my first love! Ally Pally is too far away for me but am sure it will be fabulous. Enjoy yourselves ladies and gentlemen. Thank you Sue for sharing your talent with us.
Good morning Sue
Two very different cards but each very beautiful, you are the amazing one coming up with so many fabulous ideas to share with us. In the first card the dies are so pretty and always looks amazing however you use them. The second card is simplistic and beautiful, I would emboss the white area. I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing, I had a happy accident the other day when I pierced around the edge of my topper, I had pierced on the wrong side. But because I only had one piece of the particular card I was using I had to use it. I was quite pleased and relieved with how it looked. Hope everyone that wasn't too well yesterday feel a lot better today sending you all a hug.
Hugs x

morning Sue
Thank you for starting my day with a beautiful gift and the invitation to join you in your craftroom.
Your dies are so amazing. They looked good in the launch week but seeing them demonstrated really bring out their beauty.
It would have been too much to add anything else to today's gift as the die is the star of the show.
Today's die must be my next purchase.
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Hi Sue. Two incredible cards ~ the daisies on the second one are beautiful! Will watch the video later.Hugs,

Hi Sue. Stunning and versatile cards today :) I have watched the video and the aqua card is so quick and easy to make but it looks stunning. The second card is so striking, love it, the blue and yellow is so fresh, bright and cheerful. Great cards for any occasion.
Like Pam I wish I could make Ally Pally. It would be lovely to see some pics of you all though :)
X for Pam and anyone feeling down. Good Luck Jean Phillips, have a great first day in your new job :) Take care.
Two very different cards but both so quick to make yet with such a stunning effect. Fab u lous!!Hugs from Ireland. Evelyn x
Morning Sue, The first sentiment says it all. A very beautiful card. I love the water colour effect on the second one, so clean and fresh.
Love Rosemarie xx
Absolutely loved the first card when I saw it first time around - so glad you made a video for it. The CAS card is very pretty and sweet.

Hi Sue lovely cards both different and elegant in their own way. Love the daisies.
Best wishes to all going to Ally Pally have a wonderful time,.
Good luck Jean on your volunteer job.
Take care all x
Good morning Sue. Two beautiful cards today, both so different. Hazel x
Both cards are amazing in their simplicity. Thank you for inspiring me to reach ever higher goals in my card making. hugs Cheryl xxx
Good morning Sue both cards are gorgeous. Distress pens is another item for my wish list. That daisy stamp is gorgeous. My tickets for Ally Pally came yesterday I'm so lucky. Have a great day everyone. Love Jackie
Hi Sue,
What a stunner of a first card - everything, the dies and the colour combo plus the rows of piercing. You make that look so easy but I'm still a bit suspect when it comes to the corners.
The daisies in the second card are gorgeous but I would be tempted to do something with the white space underneath. I guess that's just me not being as confident as you.
Great video - hope more people are now watching it on YouTube (from your blog) instead of on your blog as there are now a few more comments on YouTube.
Ally Pally will be amazing, one of these years I'll be there.
Hugs, Rose
GM Sue - 2 great cards yet again - dont know how you keep on doing it, time after time after time - but very glad you do! Gota assemble the hubby's bday card today - gona use the scribble splodge I did as as the background and then the garden collage as the focal element as he loves gardening - I stamped and embossed it in copper and then mica painted it - looks pretty effective - think he'll love it with some raffia etc.
Will watch video later to get me in the mood to do the above! Looking forward to Saturday.

Hi Sue, well what can I say that hasn't already been said. 2 beautiful but different cards. Love the die on the first card and the simplicity of the second card. You never fail to come up with new ideas on how to make the most out of dies and stamps, thank you lol lynne m xx
Norah McPee - it is definitely a man thing with the washing as my hubby does it too!!!
Yorkielass - its true my fur babies Tilly & Cully help to keep me going.
Beryl Treble-Myra P -Lynda - thank you
Lindsay Martin - great news that your daughter has passed her skilks tests
Tres - hope your ME eases.
Thank you to all of the above for their good wishes, had a most uncomfortable night last night as felt like red hot pokers were being stabbed in my head ( one of the symptoms of neuralgia) off to bed again in the hope that fur babies and pain willing I might get some sleep. Hugs to everyone lol lynne m
PS should be a good drying day for washing according to weather report. ( hehe just for you Norah) x x x
Love both cards Sue. The pierced edges are very elegant. xx Annie P

Best Wishes.
Denise x
Both cards are lovely and I particularly like the layout of the 2nd one - clean & simple BUT (I not a gardener) are they upside down? Shouldn't the yellow centres be pointing towards the sun?
Morning Sue,
Two very different but lovely cards.
I think it would be great to receive either of these cards .
The die is really beautiful-wish list .....o dear!

Just watched the video and I am amazed at how simple it is to make such a stunning card when you have such wonderful dies! ( must put the Cordoba die on my wish list) I also like the daisy card, again another great technique , you really do help to inspire us Sue You Are AMAZING!

Elaine H X
Hi Sue,
Two very lovely cards today. I really do like the watercolour look of the second card and the colours are gorgeous. Lynne, hope you manage to get some sleep and that you feel better soon. Norah, if it's any consolation, my husband persuaded me to leave my washing out yesterday afternoon while we went out for an hour. There was no rain where we went, BUT when I got home there had been a deluge! Two full loads of washing completely sodden - then he moans when I dry them on the radiators! MEN!!! Really jealous of everyone going to Ally Pally, but I'm sure you will all have a fabulous time.good luck to Jean on your first day. Steph & Norah, hope you are both feeling better. Love & hugs to everyone, Alison xxx
Two more lovely cards, Sue, I think that is another die I "need"!!!!!!
Doreen x
Two fabulous cards, both very much my style of crafting. Love the colours. Brilliant, thank you.

Good morning Sue, and everyone. Two fabulous cards for us today. I made the 'Amazing' one for a friend of mine and she was so pleased with it.
You are such an amazing lady, and always inspire us! Wishing you and all your followers a happy day. Love and hugs. Hilary xxxx
Hi Sue,
Stunning is the word. I love the Spanish collection. The watercolour effect on the second card is lovely.
Veronique L
Two cards are twice as nice. They both have a lovely fresh feel which I think comes from the colours and the amount of clear space on them. Just lovely.
Alison
Morning Sue, another two fantastic cards

Pally wish I was nearer to join you all.

Hello Sue, Beautiful cards, love them, they are both so different. Have watched the video and the dies do all the work, I have that ink and it is beautiful to work with. Sue you are amazing for all that you do for your blog family. Ally Pally will be a blast, hope there will be some pics for us that are not able to make it to see Wilsonettes meeting up.
Lynne M hope that you get some sleep and that Tilly and Cully give you a minute. Jean Phillips good luck with your new job. Alison Martin congratulations to your daughter on passing her skills test. Norah hope you are feeling better and that the washing is sorted.
Shirley T so glad that you had a memorable birthday, the birthday wish from Sue would have been the icing on the cake.
I am meeting a childhood friends Mother for a coffee at 9:30 for a catch up chat, it is so nice to see her, she regales me of funny things my Mum and Dad did and said, happy days and memories keeping them close.
Take care everyone.

Hi everyone. I think the video is amazing. Simple card you can do over and over again just changing the sentiment but very stylish. The second card is right up my street with the flowers. Love the cards xx
Hi Sue
Two stunning cards, just getting ready to take Mum shopping so will watch video later.
My sofa arrived yesterday at 9am but it is the wrong one so have to wait till next month for the correct one and waiting for them to collect this one, which will leave just one chair in the room for a little while so musical chairs it will be, first up will get the chair ha ha.
Love and hugs to all and I do hope you can get some photos of some of your blogs followers at Ally Pally so we can put faces to the names.
I have finally finished the wedding card and a box to put it in as it would not fit in an envelope, so now onto some birthday cards for May, June and July (12 cards just for close family)then some friends
Happy crafting to all

Simply stunning Sue, Have a grea Day E x
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Sue, i hope you don't mind but i am going to make this card for my friend. I was so lucky the day that our department took on 4 month temps and she walked into the office. From the first we just hit it off and i have been so lucky to have had her in my life for the past 5 years now. She has troubles of her own to contend with but she is like having your husband/wife/partner, you don't need to say anything but she just knows how you feel. She bucks you up when you are down and when i am in full flow for some reason she starts laughing. It has always been just the way that i say it that makes people smile, which i am so happy as a smile can make some poor souls day. I know that the very special people on your blog bring me a sense of warmth and peace each day just because they fit todays cards' saying perfectly. It is such a beautiful card and in the loveliest of colours. The aqua coloured ink is so soft but enhanced by the card behind just perfectly. Thank you Sue for continuing to inspire us with your wonderful creations.
Lindsay, so chuffed that your fantastic daughter passed her exams and i can understand the pride you must have in her achievements.
Good luck Jean with your first new day at work, enjoy the new freedom and making new friends doing something really worthwhile.
Thank you Lynne but we have that smirri kind of yukky stuff at the moment, here's hoping it clears up after. I'm sorry flower that you still are in the midst of an attack, as i know it wouldn't hurt as much hitting your head of a brick wall. My friend had an aneurysm in the brain and it has left her with neuralgia in her face and head. She never goes out without a hat(her's is a granny turban)on, but i am knitting her a infinity scarf in mohair so that it will be light enough to go around her neck and over her head and not destroy her hair do like the turban does. Hope that your fur babies give you the comfort and love but settle down to give you peace as well, take care.
Alison, i thought they had broken the mold that my husband came from, but i see not as you have his twin brother and yes he moans about the airers as well.
June, have a lovely time today and giggle at things from the past. Laughing uses i can't remember if it is less or more muscles, but it does you the power of good.
Tina, i've heard of first up best dressed but first up gets the seat is a new one on me. They should leave it with you until they sort it out. Yes it would be sat on, and therefore used, but they can't expect you to have nothing to sit on.
Thank you everyone for your continuing cyber hugs and messages of thinking of me as i really do appreciate every single one of them. Like Tres, Steph, Tina, Lynne and others it is just an ongoing thing that is here to stay unfortunately, but we will keep going wont we girls. I too wish i was going to AP but i hope that all our special friends enjoy their time at the show.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Good Morning Sue,
Once again you have given us two beautiful cards to start our day. They are just lovely. Sadly, the video will have to wait until a little later in the day but I am really looking forward to watching it. Thank you for sharing these cards with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Two fantastic cards Sue. I will miss Ally Pally too. I always went when I lived in Ruislip but not so easy now I live in Grimsby. Your first card is so elegant and simple and your second card is simple yet elegant too. Love them both.
Hello Sue
Well I love both of your cards today especially the first one as I have everything to make it!
The daisies are so pretty as well so will try that with a similar stamp. Thank goodness the temperature is creeping up and I can craft in the conservatory I had built to house my Crafting Stash! (Well, just some of it!!)
Have a great time at Alexandra Palace, wish I could be there! Looks like you will have a busy day saying Hello to your Blog friends.
Hi Sue

Morning Sue - two beautiful cards. I think the first one is my favourite.

Hi Sue, two beautiful cards. It is you Sue how is amazing with your inspirational cards and, wonderful dies and embossing folders. I love both cards.
two stunning and very different cards - love them both xx
love both these cards. Hugs Sonia x
Good morning Sue, oh thanks another video tutorial, I love them, two very different cards today, both lovely, I noticed that you have been doing a bit more of the watercolour technique lately, you explained it and made it less daunting at the weekend, you are right about it being easier than using the alcohol markers, it looks more "organic" too, which I love, I must get some distress markers! My only wish for the last weekend shows was that you had a little more demo !
Two more days! (Not that I'm counting)!!
Hugs
Sandra xx
Hi Sue - love both of these cards, and your dies look amazing when used without a cutting edge. Love the aqua colour. Have a great day.

SandraP xxx
Hi Sue, love both these cards but particularly the one using the dies! This was one of the first I bought of your range and it is so pretty! Only 2 more sleeps to Ally Pally!!! See you at the weekend. Karen xx
two stunners you are so talented ,Laura O
Two great cards again Sue, love the simplicity of the first, haven't managed to sneak this die into the house yet, but I sure I could do it with the Californian collection. The second is just so clean and the generation stamping always gives such dimension. Norah, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some dry days as I have had loads of horse rugs bought in this week and it will make is so much easier to dry them on the line, even though putting them on there is a real struggle with the ME, Lynne take care of yourself and keep your head warm, your fur babies will help with that, pay keep on being cheerful and Camilee rest that knee. Thanks so much for the messages about my daughter and her skills tests, she went out in the afternoon on her horse who decided that sheep were big fluffy monsters so put in a huge sideways jump which sent her the opposite way, but she stayed on, just as she was regaining her balance the darn animal sped of forwards, leaving her where she was but somewhat lower! Maher first fall off this particular mare in a year, she now has a very sore back and knee, with hyper mobility problems she doesn't need falls bless her, she is still on cloud nine though after her results so that is taking the edge of the pain.. Take care all and if I get brain fug to all those going to the AP this weekend have a really lovely time and hope there wuill be lots of photos for us all to see xxx
Hi sue, you are spoiling us,
two cards and a video,
Love the 2nd one sue,

Lovely cards Sue great colours xx hazel
Love the cards Sue, simplethe first one and very effective and the stamping and spritzing certainly looks great on the second card. Am going to try it as soon as I can. Thanks again Hugs Maureen
Two amazing cards and luv the simplicity of the second one but would struggle to leave the white space but as you say to emboss it would be perfect xx thanks for the tutorial as always and luvin the look of the Cordoba Spanish die used without the cutting edge (another for the 'wish list')!! xx GailT xx
Two beautiful cards today. The first one is so elegant and the second is lovely and colourful. Daisies are such a pretty flower & the colour you have used is a gorgeous shade. Pat x
Two more superb cards and an excellent video. Happy Days
Morning Sue, Two quick and simple cards (well for you that is haha !!), they are lovely.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Many thanks for all your inspiring cards and techniques - love them.
Regards,
Another Sue
Two lovely cards, think I will have a go at the first one as it was quite simple and straightforward for me!!!
Hallo Sue and I should add "you're amazing"! It's all so quick and easy on the video. It takes me ages to decide what to do before I start though. Using a cutwork die without a border makes such a super centrepiece for the card and the aqua is so pretty. The daisies are nice and summery but I think I would have to put the sentiment in the lower half to cover the bareness. Hope you enjoy Ally Pally, sorry I can't be with you, love from Jackie D
A great video, Sue and such an elegant card.
Card #2 is very different to your usual style and very pretty.

Hi. Beautiful cards again today Sue. Will catch up with this weeks videos when I get a moment to myself! Hugs xxx
Hi Sue
Lovely cards again fabulous die on the first one but the daises is my real favourite as stamping is my first love and I love the shading thanks for sharing off to watch video. Enjoy Ally Pally I will get there one day!!

hi Sue
The first card says it all Sue. That you are truly amazing. Your dies are simply gorgeous. Love the daisies on the second card. It brightens up the day. Didn't see you blog today Lanc Steph, so hope you aren't to much under the weather today, and that's why you haven't blogged today. Hugs to you and Norah. I do just love to read what write every day. They brighten up my day. Hope that everyone who is going to Ally Pally has a great time and we get to see some pics. hugs to Pam and everyone else who needs one today.
Fabulous
Love them both Sue. REally into CAS now. Took a while to get used to it. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Both cards today are lovely Sue, but I'm going through a real stamping phase, so the daisies are my favourite! Thanks, Susan x
Two beautiful cards Sue, love them both.

Hi Sue, Two Stunning Cards we are so lucky, I so love it now, were actually seeing your Dies on The Videos I Love them and have purchased quite a few but it's wonderful to see your Awesome Talent come shining through, when you show us how to use the Fantastic Dies, and share your tips and techniques with us, I really Love the Colour you chose for the first card that's what I like about Adirondack Inks they come in some Fabulous Colours, to match up with your Card.
I really Love The Fabulous second Card as I so enjoy Stamping I Love The Daisy from Taylored Expression, I Love how you've created a Water Coloured Look very effective indeed.
Take Care Sue, Love and Hugs from Sam x
To All The Wonderful Wilsonettes I truly hope you've had a good day, take care all Hugs from Sam x

Hi Sue. Just to say thank you for bringing us such a beautiful card today and a fab video too !! I really like the daisy card to, but my favourite just has to be the beautiful card made from that beautiful Cordoba die set !! More craft dies for my huge wish list !! I also love the colours you have used.
Take care Sue and I hope to meet you at Alley Palley on Saturday.
Unfortunately I have had another bad day today but I am determined to make it there on Saturday.
Lots of love and hugs to all, love Tres x x x
Late yet again, Sue. Love the video, thank you, always like seeing you do the piercing - am getting better at it. Also like the second card BUT do prefer your ornate ones. More is More in my camp!!
Thanks, Julie, collected himself from Swindon hospital - he is okay but will need more surgery in the future. Each time there is a 'procedure' a bit more damage is done. Feel like I've done nothing but drive on the M4 in the past 24 hours. Need sleep.
Cameeli - late to say it - but so glad procedure went well.
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow - so many with problems.

Two very different cards Sue, but both lovely. I wouldn't be able to leave as much white space in the second card! I would simply have to add something, not sure what!
Hi Sue,
Two beautiful cards again today, love the cordoba die and the aqua ink you've used on the first card so elegant, but love the daisy card too, I have that stamp and die so will be trying this one and trying the first card using a different die . Thanks so much Sue.

Two lovely cards. Thanks for giving us inspiration for the times when we need uncomplicated cards in a hurry. Great video.
Margaret hope you had a lovely Birthday Rosemarie wishing you sunshine. Nanny Tina you made me think about when we had our suite re-upholstered many moons ago. We spent five weeks sitting on fold-up garden chairs. No padding just material stretched over metal frames!
Hope everyone has a wonderful time at Ally Pally. Envious. Some pictures would be great.
what a gorgeous card.
Gorgeous Cards Sue!
Two different cards, but both still lovely.
Have a wonderful time at the Ally Pally. Not sure if I'll make it this time, but if I do I will stop by and say Hi.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
