Good morning Sue and everyone. Will have to wait until after work to watch the video but I love the elegance of this card. Thank you for showing us more ways to use our dies.
ReplyDeleteSue xxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAin't wait to watch the video later as most of my dies seem to be rectangular and it's frustrating when you really want a square. Love today's card.

'morning Sue,FAB-U-LOUS card again today. Your dies are all GOR-GE-OUS, clever you! Mabex
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, Sue and Everybody,
ReplyDeleteTruly stunning card and great video to go with it.
Love every bit of it!

Hi Sue. What a beautiful card. Love the yellow/white combo, it's so pretty : ) I love it when you show us how to get even more use out of our dies. By the way, I wouldn't be without my scotch tapes. They do a great job, the sticky tape is so easy to use and the removable tape really is easily removable, unlike other brands that I had tried. A roll of each lasts for ages too, doesn't it. I do often wonder just how much you get through in a normal week Sue : )
ReplyDeleteSending Pam my hug, it's stopped raining here in Oxon, for the moment anyway, I hope Hartlepool dries up too : )
A hug for all Wisonettes in need today especially Gail and Jean.
Myra P, I always read all of the comments so yes, I did see yours from last night : )
Norah, I hope you are having a good day today and your hills are in clear, sunny view. Thank you for asking about Gemma. She failed her driving test on Tuesday so wasn't too happy, as you can imagine, but was offered the accountancy job yesterday so she is now over the moon. We are delighted, and of course like any parents, so proud of her.
I hope everyone has a good day. Take care.
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I will be watching the video later today work always gets in the way of crafting. Have a great day. Love Jackie

ReplyDeleteMmmm, cream and custard! What a yummy card! I love the glitter and the pretty flowers. What a clever idea to rotate the square die cut. It doesn't look square any more! Simply gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteThis is a very beautiful and crafted in delicate color card.
I like it very much, as you stamped parts together.
Completely wonderful!! Not a thing about it I don't love. Even better, I have dies that I can use - different rectangles but they'll work and I have the flower dies. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAlison
how delicate and beautiful love the colour combo. horrible weather but hope everyone has a good crafty day
ReplyDeletemorning Sue
ReplyDeleteFrom a very wet morning here in Sheffield. So coffee with you this morning was very much appreciated(lol).
Today's gift just shows how your beautiful dies can be used in so many different ways. Will be cutting and sticking with my rectangles just to see how beautiful they look.
Today's colour scheme is so gentle and fresh and the bling around the edge reminds me of morning dew sparkling in sunshine.
Given that it's pouring down I'll be trying to stay calm whilst I try and create two gifts for two pesky males. Oh how I loathe having to create for men.
Take care and see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Beautiful card, the colours are great and I love the embossing folder. Will watch the video later, off to work now.
ReplyDeleteWill watch video later Got to rush off to work! The dies, colours etc are fabulous
ReplyDeleteHi Sue great card. I have all the dies so will try and copy.
ReplyDeleteDenise X
Lovely subtle card today :D
ReplyDeleteSoooo very pretty and making rectangle dyes into squares is such a good idea. I have the flowers and they are lovely. I found I can make a basket weave effect by putting two flowers together on top of each other, not off setting them, they are very pretty and a bit different.
ReplyDeleteVideo was great, thanks.
Stunning card Sue, just so beautiful
ReplyDeletein every way
Another beautiful card Sue. The colours really bounce off each other,and look so elegant. Have a great day xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue

Good morning Sue & lovely blog ladies,
ReplyDeleteWell I didn't much crafting done yesterday , Bella &Milo had their jabs etc the night before sorry were a little out of sorts, needing attention , all day, they gave been bounding around since six am, but they seem to have settled down now, thank goodness, may get a bit of time today !
Sue today's card is beautiful, such a delicate colour combination that work so well together, thanks for taking the time to make the videos to share with us it is fab , the tip for turning squares into rectangles is just genius!
Hugs to everyone,
Sandra x
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love how you have turned a rectangle into a square - another thing I would never think to do even though I've seen you do this on tv before. Really do like the basket weave folder as well. Hope your weather is better than it is here in Durham today - it's pouring down!
Gail sorry to hear your brother is back in hospital but know that everyone here is sending love and very gentle hugs to you and all of your family. Lynne enjoyed the antics of fur babies yesterday with the toy in the bed! I can just imagine the scene! My fur baby Scamp the cat, has taken one look at the weather and is now curled up tight in bed with the duvet all around her! Being spoilt today by hubby as it's my birthday already had breakfast made for me which is a novelty! Shame weather is awful as we were going to go to Northumberland for a walk along the beach at Bamburgh. Anyway, love and hugs to everyone xxxx Alison
Changing to a square gives a whole new opportunity for this die. It makes a lovely card
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, wow a very elegant card, I love it, thank you for sharing love Janet k xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue love the die as a square and the flowers are lovely too ,but bow too big for me .

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue. What a lovely card and the tip on changing a rectangle to a square is fantastic. I have those flowers and I agree with you, they are so pretty and versatile, so many choices in sizes too, I use them a lot. Thank you. Xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, this card is so fresh and spring like, I think I saw you demo this one on C&C and thought it was lovely. Wil watch the video later. Take care everyone, Jess x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Looking forward to watching your video this evening, but I love your card. SueL
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA bright card to brighten up a dreary day. I'm liking the subtle colour combo, custard with white. The dies are so delicate and lacy and the iced snow border gives a gentle touch of bling. All rounded off with a 'messy' bow, lush.
Hi Sue, another gorgeous card. Very pretty and elegant. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteSue this is stunning ,a great way of changing die shapes.Laura O
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely and elegant. And the colour combo is gentle on the eye - absolutely beautiful.

Love to all Elaine x
Beautiful card again. I caught a clip of you on TV saying "you all know how to change a rectangle to a square and that's what I've done" whilst showing a card. I didn't know what you meant then but I do know. Thanks for showing. Donna
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteTodays card is just beautiful and I can't wait to watch the video. Thank you for sharing this and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Hi Sue, Well I've Just watched another
ReplyDeleteAwesome Video Tutorial, and then I watched it again as I find them so inspiring and so extremely helpful.
I Loved The Embossing Folder you used
"The Basket Weave" and how you Changed your Stunning Seville Die into a Square by just cutting and turning into a square.
I Truly Love your Background where you've placed sticky tape and then placed
The Incredible "Iced Snow" on top, this looks Awesome so Truly tactile, I Love the Flower's you made for you Card using The Dies
From Your Collection and where you've placed a couple to strategically cover where you've got your join! I So Love The Soft Colours. This Card is Awesome.
Sue Thank You for sharing Thank You for the Video,
Thank you for the inspiration.
Take Great Care Sue

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card you have done for our delight today Sue. I have really fallen for your custard card as it is a beautiful shade, not too strong a custard colour, but a rich soft colour(a bit of a contradiction there but you know what i mean hopefully). I haven't watched the video yet as waiting for peace and quiet( when son is away to school and i'm not shouting at him to get ready).
I hope that all our babysitting grannies that are getting a break over the childrens bank holiday enjoy their time off from duties. When i was working i was just as lucky with my mum both getting the children ready for school and taking Kirsten when she was younger to both nursery and then primary school as i put her to the wee school up at Fishcross. Thank you girls for backing up my thrifty purchase, still hidden in the car the now though.
Gail, i hope that your brother comes out feeling a wee bit relief even if it is only for a short period of time. You and him are very much in my thoughts the now but all you can do is be there for him.
Mrs B, i am so happy that your beautiful, clever daughter got the job of her dreams, as for the driving test, she can take it again and she'll not be as nervous the next time. Well done EMMA.
Carol, i hope you have a great day in London and enjoy War Horse.
Heather, 5 staying, oh you will be knackered when they go, have they presented you with the gold medal for staying power yet? Have a great time with your wee bundles of joy.
Janet(Ecco), change today's colour scheme for male subdued colours,minus the bow and you have the best of both worlds then? But then i have to come up with a different train card each year for my "adopted" father. He is train mad, 87 this year and has 10s of thousands of railway photo's. The reason he is my adopted father is because he was engaged to my old friend as a teenager, and then they went in other directions. He married her friend, she married first a police man(15years married) and then another man whose wife died giving birth to his daughter. She was married to him for 25years before he died and then she met her one time fiance afterwards and they have been married 20 years now. Well "father" has a son and "mother" has a daughter, so they decided to adopt me in the middle to give the sense of reason between the two opposites of children that they have. They have been like grandparents to my children and are wonderful with just how they talk to and are interested in whatever they are doing. My only regret is that they aren't their real ones, but they are better than the ones they have from my hubbies side.
OH, 2 new fur babies to join our group which means more tails (sorry couldn't resist)or comedy to come. I love the antics of our combined fur babies as you couldn't make it up some of the things that they get up to. Well yesterday turned out lovely up here at Costa de Glenochil, but today it is cold and the dark clouds don't help any, but my hills are showing up in all their glory today so i'm happy with that. See you all tomorrow hopefully and with gentle hugs being sent to our more fragile friends here on the blog, you are still being thought of each day, but you have some such a painful road, i hope that some of the happy times start to come to your mind and bring happiness back to your heart.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Genius! I love how versatile your dies are Sue, it makes me realise how much thought and creativity you put in to producing them. The flowers are just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHugs Alice x
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. I saw it a while ago on YouTube and ordered the die so I could make this particular card. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHowever I have an inflamation in my left wrist so I won't be crafting for a while. But I can use the time to watch your videos over and over :)
Thank you so very much for your tip on how I can get the card stock that you use. Linde took care of everything and my first parcel arrived safely yesterday. Awaiting the next one any day now :) Thanks for the help; you're really sweet :)
Good sunny morning. I think we get the best of the weather in our little corner of East Anglia. This is a great card, special tuition from a master. Thanks again for giving us so much of your time. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Card Sue!
ReplyDeleteI love the colours and just everything about it.
Thanks for another fab video.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Another pretty card today .. xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and the crew from a drizzly grey Blackpool.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favourite card of the week so far I think but in truth it's very rare I don't like a card.
Have to be at the docs shortly but couldn't go before signing in with you
Have a lovely day if you can
Lots of crafty love, Jo xx
Absolutely stunning card today Sue - love the subtle colours and those little quilled flowers! Thanks, Susan x
ReplyDeleteWAUW another stunner here Sue, You just keep on and on with all these beauties here, and this one is really gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card I absolutly love it.
Beautiful card - I luv everything about it xx will watch the tutorial later but can't wait to see some more tips xx GailT xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, lovely card. Hope to catch Julia's show this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteAnother great technique for us Sue,I saw you do this one on c&c but then my mind hid it in the far recess of my brain so shouldn't remember exactly how to do it. Lovel card but what's new, all your cards are amazing.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Alison, I hope the weather cheers up for you and you manage to get out and have a great time. Norah, those that choose you are often far better than family,you are very lucky to have two special people in your life.
Gail so sorry your brother has had to go back in, I am keeping my fingers crossed they can stabilise him again. Well done to Mrs B's daughter on the job, and the driving test well she can try again, it's never a bad thing to fail first time, my daughter did and I think a better driver for it. Sandra I'm glad the kittens have recovered from their jabs, poor things it's always such a shock for them and of course we can't explain to,animals why they have to undergo these things. Carol hope that you enjoy War Horse I have been told how good it is so am very jealous of you. Myra I always go back and read comments, so it was great to hear from you. Lynne hope those girls are behaving and Norah forgot to say yesterday well done on your savings. Well better get on, the foals are not so happy today they were all very damp when I went to see them first thing, but it's stopped raining here now so should soon be drying off and running after each other again. Take care all hugs xxx
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Love the colours. I have that die so will try making it into a square!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, another stunning creation. Just goes to show you don't always need the correct shape to get what you need. Love the bling round the edges and your flower/leaves dies. lovely soft colours. lol lynne m x x x
ReplyDeleteFur babies running around impatiently waiting for my eldest daughter to arrive so they jump all over her ( its great cuz it gives me a break)luckily the thunder/lightning held off last night so no scaredy babies under the covers me included. They wore themselves out yesterday playing tag again so hubby had easy evening with them whilst I disappeared upstairs for some quiet reading time. x x x x
Lynda - sorry Annie was frightened by the bad weather last night special hugs to her from Tilly & Cully x x x
Alison - happy birthday x x x x
Lindsay, June, Karen, Norah, Myra, Tres - hugs from fur babies
To all "Wilsonettes" hope you have a great day no matter what the weather is like x x x x
O my what a beauty.
ReplyDeleteGr Elly
Another stunner.
ReplyDeleteHelloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oooo what a gorgeous card! I really love the custard coloured card and what a stunning bit of bling the Iced Snow gives around the edges! Brilliant video Sue and "thank you" for reminding us that we can make a square from a rectangle from such beautiful dies. "Thank you" so much for your videos xx I hope you're having a wonderful time with your mom and your family. Hopefully will remember to watch Julia at 3pm.....!
ReplyDeleteJust to say "Happy birthday" to you Alimecca (Alison)! Have a great day!
Loving the Lynne fur babies and Norah's stories and have great fun with the foals today Lyndsey!
Mrs B, congratulations to Gemma on getting her dream job! Looking on the bright side she will be able to save up and to take her test again. It took me 3 times......!
Carol, enjoy War Horse! We're going to watch it on Oct 1st and can't wait! I love horses and from the clips that I have seen it will be wonderful!
Joanna, hope you go on okay at the doctors hun. I have the same condition as you have so I can't drive anymore. We're hopefully trying to get my husbands sleep apnia and essential tremor in control so he can ask for his licence again. It would be so good just to get in a car again and go wherever we want to go!
Gail and Jean, thinking of you and sending you a hug alongside all our Wilsonettes that could do with one today. Take care everybody and just to say Sue what a beautiful giveaway card yesterday! Good luck everyone! xx Love Karen xx
Stunning as usual, and always something for us to learn. I really need to find some crafting time, hate when work overtakes everything and you show us such lovely ideas.
ReplyDeleteCheers all
Janice W
this is sooo pretty - beautiful colours and layering - gorgeous xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteGood morning crafting friends! Yes! I made it before noon!
What a beauty today , Sue, yet again! I like Norah really love the custard card. Know what you mean about the shade - more homemade custard than Birds custard powder!
Your flowers and leaves I use all the time and the lovely fern leaves too. Have used the rectangle to square a few times since you first showed us. Thanks again Sue. Nice sparkly edge too.
I'm astounded that so my people read the late night comment. So thanks P in Wales, Mrs B - so pleased your daughter got her job. Well done! Driving tests can be retaken . We warned our son not to drive too fast in his test as they'd think he was a teenage tearaway! Yes - they failed him for going too slowly!
Heather enjoy your holiday , hope you get some nice weather as well as crafting weather!
Carole enjoy War Horse I'd love to see that.
Sandra, love the names of your bundles of joy!
Alison happy birthday - love the beach at Bamburgh! Shame about the rain?
Gail sending love and praying for you all.
Norah, did you ever get that shawl finished to your exacting standards? Hope so! Wool was a great buy! x
Love to Lindsay , Lynne ! Pam and all lovely ladies on this blog! You ok Steph? x
Love Myra
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card today. Will watch the video later. love how you always show us the versatility of our dies. Mrs B my Rello's went to Uffington White Horse after I mentioned it to them. Thanks for reminding me about it. Sorry to hear Gemma failed her driving test, but thrilled that she got her job.
Hugs to Pam, Steph and Norah today, and to anyone in need of a hug as well.
Another really lovely card, as always

Hello Sue, Today's card is a stunner, absolutely gorgeous, agree with Norah the custard card is so subtle, warm and summery. Love the flowers and embossing. Thank you for a great video, will be giving this a try. Have a lovely day with your Mom.

Lynda hope Annie has settled down, poor little darling.
Sandra welcome to Bella and Milo.
Mrs B congratulations to Gemma on her dream job, she can always retake her driving test.
Myra I do read the late comments, I am later today as had internet problems.
Heater enjoy your week off, happy crafting, your comment yesterday was so true.
Norah I agree with you on the wool, when I met my friend who is on a visit from abroad, she hadn't brought many clothes as her suitcase was full of wool for her Mum, her Mum just smiled as she was telling me this, we had a lovely day meeting up.
Steph hope you are OK, gentle hugs to you.
Tina thinking of you, gentle hugs to you.
Take care everyone.
Hugs June xx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card I would never
ReplyDeletehave thought to put cream on white but
they do look good together and the glitter
too just sets it off.

Gorgeous & elegant!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, those little scalloped (umm...not scalloped, maybe "lacey" ??) flowers
ReplyDeleteare totally stunning! That is a must have die(?) ...gotta watch the video
so my questions will be answered. Fabulous creation!

ReplyDeleteHi Sue this card is fan-dabby-dossy, I am going to have a bash at it this afternoon. I haven't got the flower dies so will have to substitute with others...Yvonne xxx
ReplyDeleteGail sorry your brother is back in hospital. He and all of his family, including you, are on a roller-coaster ride at the moment. My loving wishes to you all.
ReplyDeleteMrs B Gemma has done so well, it would have been nice to have two successes but she did get the most important one - good jobs are few and far between.
Happy birthday Alison x
Hugs to all, hope Steph is okay x
Hello Sue - I am a little late today not sure where the time has gone. This card is simply gorgeous and your ideas with the rectangular die is just so useful and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI have been having Oxygen therapy this week and my ears have not popped after decompression slightly uncomfortable but nothing compared to what some others are going through so hugs and my thoughts to all who need them. Helen xx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt's me again. Just wanted to say totally agree with Mrs B's comments on the Scotch Tapes. The removable tape I had before was dreadful - stuck to everything including the cutting plate - decided if Sue uses Scotch Tape it must be pretty good! I bought some and it made an amazing difference . It easily comes off in one piece and does not tear or shred . The double sided tape is super as no top paper to remove. That and cosmic shimmer glue sticks just about anything! Hope this helps someone.
Have a good afternoon.
Tres , hope you ok too! x
Love Myra
Happy Birthday, Alison (Alimecca
ReplyDeleteHi Sue & everyone.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful Sue. Just stunning.
I am new to card making and a friend introduced me to your cards.
I absolutely love them and your video's are so inspiring.
I have spent a small fortune so far and can't wait to start. The friend also tells me I shall have no money left but lots of cards to give to friends and family.
Happy Crafting everyone.
Love
Kate
Beautiful hardly seems a good enough description for this card. I don't have this elegant die, but I do have another decorative square set which might be good to try. I'm heading straight over to the video!

Hi Sue and Blog friends.
ReplyDeleteI have just popped in quickly to say a Heartfelt Thank you to all you lovely people for leaving such beautiful messages here and on my blog, It has meant a great deal to me. You were all there for me when I lost my Berkeley dog, and you have been here for me again. There are so many names I would love to mention but it would take up all of Sue's blog. So to all those lovely ladies that have sent love hugs and cuddles, I send you all one back with a big Thankyou wrapped around them.
Will be back Soon, Miss you all.
Kind regards :-)

Julia's afternoon show was fantastic and her samples out of this world, regret to say I missed the morning one as we had to take the corgis to the vets.
Missing you Steph do hope all is ok x
Thinking of you Gail I hope your brother is soon home again, then he can spend some quality time with his loving family.

Sorry forgot to send Lynne M & Tilly & Cully hope they behaved when your daughter came. big hugs to you & pooches Lynda xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue just thought I would mention that you say you are using the Seville die for this card in the video but the die seems to be the Valencia. I have the Seville die and tried the cutting to a square technique and it looks just as nice.

Hi Sue, A stunning card today, as always, you never cease to amaze me. This is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Afternoon Sue. Evening all Wilsonettes. Thanks to Sky our wifi and phone down for a lot of the day, so Ive been like an expectant father pacing the corridor waiting to hear the 1st cry, waiting for my 1st glimps of our Thursday card AND video, was I disapointed ? Hell NO. Its a Sue W.O.W.
ReplyDeleteSo now Ive added 2 more things to my list ( should I add it to the 'lying around list' or my own 'if only wish' list) that yet has to be decided : ) so whilst waiting for Sky to get the problem sorted.I had to make a hat type thing ready for our daughters Hen Party this weekend ! A hat indeed, I dont DO hats, I look a right numpty in a hat, its for the Mad Hatters Tea Party in York Sunday afternoon (dungeons + meal + club in York Saturday evening) CLUB - ME ! I'll be the grandma of the club lol oh boy Im dreading it ! So Ive made a cup and saucer decked it up with quilled feux blossoms, used a border die and twisted it round my poky tool and it looks like swirling steam lol ! And used circle/small rectangle dies and made them look like biscuits sitting on the saucer along with a silver mirri spoon ! All attatched to a padded alice band, if only I was more creative and artistic, hohum.
Hen do or not I wont miss stopping by, as this family is my world, thank you.
Gail - I really hope the consultant can help keep your brothers pain a little more under control so he can be home with those that adore him
again.
Tina - Thinking of you, especially on 24th - your daughters wedding blessing will be particularly hard this time even more so than her wedding. I shall be thinking of you so very much hon.
Must take Mrs B's reccommendation on board as my stensil tape is heading towards the chuffin window big time as it refuses to keep any of my dies in place, so Im going Scotch lol.
Going to send love n thanks to you Sue for the most beautiful card again along
with your brilliant tutorial and wish for you a lovely sunny afternoon with mom.
And to Pam and all here that need a gentle hug ((((((( ))))) for you.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust read Steph's comment!
Wow, Steph that sounds like a gorgeous hat!
I know Hen Nights can be tricky - hey I hadn't been to one until I was almost sixty!
Was dreading it - but was only a dinner and an overnight stay at a Hotel/ Spa but I was terrified! I enjoyed it in the end very much. Having had sons, this was a totally new experience for me.
Relax and enjoy it - you will at the very least have the BEST hat.
Love Myra x
This is so pretty Sue.

ReplyDeleteTruly stunning card and love the video explaining how you made it, TFS.....
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI just watched this video and noticed that the die you used is the VALENCIA not SEVILLE. Perhaps you can bring that out in some way for those that want to order that particular one, so they won't be disappointed. I love this technique, thanks for the reminder. Another beautiful card.
