Good Sunday morning all! Yes it is, in fact, another Christmas card. I promise to give you a break after this one! I did a bit of letterpress for the background on this one. I selected my
Quilted Flower embossing folder and using a
clear Perfect Medium pad, I inked up one side of it. I placed my
coconut white card in the folder and ran it through the
Grand Calibur. This transfers the ink to the floor of the design in your folder. I dusted it with
gold sparkle mica powder for a delicate look. I matted the piece with a thin gold and black mat, but then added it to a much wider top and bottom white mat. On soft gold card, I stamped the new
Justrite Christmas Wreath and heat embossed it with
gold detail powder for a tonal look. I used the
Decorative Frames from my Italian Collection to cut my shape. This piece was actually the left over from a previous card where I used the aperture. I stamped the
Vintage Snowflake Labels Seven by Justrite on to white card and heat embossed with gold. I stamped my sentiment in the centre with a
black archival ink pad. I lined up the matching die over it then taped one side so I was able to hinge it and then covered it with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I flipped the die back over and taped it in place to cut out the shape. I peeled the backing paper off and coated it with
Iced Snow. I cut a second label out of black card and halved it to use as a shadow. I taped it behind my focal element then added it to my embossed background circle with foam mounting tape. I tied a messy bow out of
white seam binding and seated it on
white tulle. A
gold satin rose adorned the centre and I finished it with a couple of fancy stick pins that I made to match. I added a pierced white mat with a thin black mat before adding a final white mat to my card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/2" in size.

Morning Sue, gorgeous card. I so enjoyed your shows yesterday and looking forward to today. You looked stunning but they dont give you much time to craft, just as well you had some stunning samples with you and I was so pleased to hear our Wilsonette names read out.
Congrats to all winners today
Cazzie, Lindsay and Gail, thinking of you all at this time.
Love and hugs to all of my special blog family, you are all amazing.
Lovely card Sue. The shows were great enjoy today.

I am loving your shows this weekend

Morning Sue it was lovely to watch you on TV and to see all the beautiful Christmas cards you have made, thanks for all the wonderful ideas you have given us. I really like the background embossing folder, I just had to get it with quite a few other things. I shall be glued to your shows again today.
Another lovely card. Only managed to watch yesterday is odd snatches but am going to enjoy myself with you today. All the cards I saw were lovely, as of course we all expected! Thank you
Marion B xx
Good Morning Sue. The shows were great yesterday and looking forward to todays shows. Your samples were stunning and so many you must have been very busy. This is a beautiful and classy card. Loving the iced snow it just gives a hint of sparkle and your stick pins are lovely. Have another great show. Congrats to all the winners.
Best Wishes.

Beautiful card Sue. The new sparkle mic as are just lovely. Looking forward to your shows today.
Hugs Alice x
Good morning Sue and everyone. Fabulous shows yesterday, can't wait for today's treats. Love everything about your card today, iced snow just adds the right amount of sparkle. I've just seen that you and Julia are visiting Northallerton soon - I'm gutted that I'm still at work, if only it had been 2 weeks later I'd have finished for the summer hols! Oh well, one day I hope!
Special thoughts and hugs to those in pain. Sue xxx
Hello Sue, this is one of my favourite cards I saw on the T V yesterday, it is so subtle and pretty. I am looking forward to watching your shows again today, thank you for all the inspiration you share with us.
Can I just say on a personal note how slim you looked yesterday whilst wearing red!! Enjoy all the praise you get today you earn it.

Another lovely card and great shows yesterday. Please will you do a brief blog recap for the tulle flower?
Hello Sue, beautiful design (as usual!) Your shows were great yesterday, just love the new stamps. Looking forward to more shows today.
Love to all, Judy M
Good morning Sue
I love the delicate letterpress technique you've done on today's card it's so pretty. Today's card is so pretty and your stick pins are as usual, stunning! I have set my recorder for today's show.
Congratulations to all the winners
Hugs

Beautiful card yet again. The thin black mat really does make the design pop. Enjoyed the shows yesterday,but wish we could see more demos,or have two hours back to back, which would allow more time for your fab tips and demos. Will be watching again today.xxx
Morning Sue and Sunday Smiles to all. Thank you for 3 wonderful show's yesterday, and the most stunning samples. This card is one of many I remember and its stunning, isn't that new sparkle mica powder LUSH, that's at the top of my list of C crafting items, its a must, along with that new PVA glue that dries red - how clever.
Unfortunatly I have had to set your show's to record as Im at market trying to sell a few cards to help me buy my C stash, but I hope to be awake to watch your 7pm show. At least, like other lovely Wilsonettes, recording gives me more time to watch and learn instead of having just half hour to pick up tips etc !
I hope that after today's show's you will let yourself rest for a few hour's as I dont know where your stamina comes from !
Well done to all winners today.
Thinking of all my friends that have woken up feeling sad, uncomfortable and down in the dumps. Pam, Julie, xx
Sanda, that poem is truely wonderful and from any mothers heart, thank you.
Enjoy your show's today Sue. And enjoy watching our Sue today my lucky friends.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Great card, Sue, love the background and also the unusual layout. The more 'C' inspiration the better!
Saw most of the first two shows (sadly I'm only on Freeview so not the later one) - brilliant, and your samples absolutely superb. Loved it that one of the first cards shown with the big pink bow matched what you were wearing!!
Actually sent an email for the first time - not read out - but pleased to hear lots of our familiar names getting a shout-out.
Looking forward to more today and, Sue, you did look fab!!
'P' in Wales
Well done to all the winners.
Gail - hope son is okay after his fright, what a time you're having.
Good morning Sue and all my fellow crafters,
Today's card is a bit fussy for me, you know what I'm like! But I love the colour.
Great shows I managed to catch one and record one! Sue you do such a good job, I'm so glad you are back on our screens.
My son is home with us for a few days, as he normally lives on his own and the hospital thought it would be a good idea for someone to keep an eye on him. He seems fine just very sleepy! Thanks for all the good wishes.
Update on my brother, he is stil hanging on I there! Still at home they have turned the dinning room into a hospital room for him. The Macmillian nurses come in about four times a day, they do such a brilliant Job!
Congratulations to al the winners.
Hugs for all who need one

Congratulations to all the winners.
Nancyd xx
Saw this yesterday and lived the demo, will have to have a go at letterpress, this looks stunning, my email was not read out but great to recognise some names from here, looking forward to another look at your fab demos today. Congrats to all the winners xx
Very beautiful card, love the delicate sparkle. Lilian
Beautiful card Sue. I struggle with the letterpress technique though as my ink doesn't transfer in an equal way and some parts are inked lighter than other parts. Really enjoyed the shows yesterday and looking forward to today's. Have a great day. xx
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I actually did the letterpress technique with the same embossing folder yesterday. I have learnt so much from you. The shows yesterday were amazing. I will be recording them today as we are visiting my mother-in-law for her birthday. Congratulations to all the winners. Love Jackie
Today's card is a WINNER! Love the soft gold and the shimmer. This is also a lovely embossing folder, one of my faves. Congratulations to all the winners this weekend and to you Sue for the 5000 followers. Well deserved!
Beautiful I Love it.
Jane xx
Love this card Sue and that letterpress technique is wow. Have got to have a go at that. Have a great day.xx
HI SUE, GREAT SHOW'S YESTERDAY BUT AS PAM MENTIONED YOU DIDN'T GET MUCH TIME TO CRAFT, BUT I GET SO VERY CROSS WHEN THEY RUSH YOU AND WE DONT GET TO SEE MANY DEMO'S I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH PRODUCTS, ITS A GOOD JOB WE SEE YOUR AMAZING CARDS, AS WE DONT SEE MANY DEMO'S WHICH I HATE! IT'S NOT LIKE YOUR ON CREATE AND CRAFT ON A WEEKLY BASIS LIKE SOME GUESTS I COULD MENTION, OKAY TIME TO COME OFF MY SOAP BOX I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD IT BEFORE FROM ME AND "I'M SO SORRY FOR RAMBLING ON ABOUT IT"
I REALLY HOPE MARTYN WILL DO A BETTER SHOW TODAY AND WE SEE DEMO'S!
Now For Today's Awesome Card I Just Love it and I Love the touch of Black with your Cards it really makes them Pop, I really Love The Quilted Embossing Folder and Gold Sparkle Mica Powder, I'm quite smitten with The New Christmas Wreath Stamp from JustRite, and how you've heat embossed in Gold to give a tone on tone look. It looks Awesome cut out using your Decorative Frames Dies, I Just Love The Vintage Snowflake Labels Seven by JustRite (They always seem to have such Splendid Stamps and Dies to match) finishing of using your Truly Amazing Iced Snow (Which I Just Love) Love The Messy Bow, and The Fabulous Tulle and to finish off with those Fabulous Stick Pins, this is probably not in The Dictionary But this Card is a Wowser of a Card and yesterday The Card you made on the Show with Dave I Just Fell In Love With it.
Sue Thank You For so many thinks the Awesome Blog, The Fabulous Breakdown to help how we try to achieve this Project, The Truly Stunning Photography, and most of All The Daily Inspiration You Bring To Me, Thank You So Very Much.

Good morning Sue,
Oh this card is absolutely exquisite, every little gorgeous detail of it. The matting and shadowing adds such a lot to the design.
Not being all that successful with the lettering technique but shall persevere. Practice........
Great shows yesterday, I can't get enough of your samples - looking forward to today's shows.
Thank you Sue......
Hugs, Rose
morning Sue
I managed to see a little of your second show yesterday but could not record the last as I only have freeview. Recorder is set for your first two today you never know I might be able to catch some live!! but the recorder is staying on.
I love today's gift as it doesn't shout C.in your face but still makes a beautiful gift for the season. I bought the C.bells stamps yesterday as I'm saving my pennies for your next launch. So pleased I bought quite a bit of iced snow earlier as I think it's going to be used a lot on my cards this year.
Steph hope you have a good market day.
Well ladies I'm at last packed!!! Still have my knitting bag at my side (with embroidery in it) and that will go into the car with me tomorrow morning for my 05.00 start and despite 'hawkeye's jibes everything has fitted into the car just as it always does!!
Congratulations to all you lucky winners this week.
Take care everyone. Hope to catch up tomorrow whilst on the ferry; if not then when I get to our overnight stay in Calais.
Janet x
Hi Sue, loving the shows and all the goodies you are bringing us. Beautiful card and I have to say I am in love with the iced snow too. I think most of my Christmas cards this year will have some on. Thanks for showing the letterpress technique, I have always struggled with it in the past.
Looking forward to today's shows.

Hi Sue - Great shows yesterday.

I'll see you again shortly.Mary - Durham
Hi Sue,
Great shows yesterday and fabulous samples. As others have said it's just a shame we don't get many demos! Today's card is beautiful. It is very elegant and opulent and would be a lovely special family card. Looking forward to the shows today - if there's any stock left!
Lindsey, Cazzie thinking of you both. Gail also thinking of you - I'm pleased your brother is at home he will feel better in familiar surroundings and the Macmillan nurses are wonderful. Janet have a great time. Congratulations to the winners. Love and hugs to all, Alison xxxx

This card is beyond stunning! I love love love the new sparkle mica powders. They look gorgeous when used with embossing folders as you have. I loved the shows yesterday. Leonie read out my email but sadly I didn't win a card. Will keep trying! Your samples were amazing as always. Just wish you had more time to demo!
Am looking forward to today's shows. Thank you for sharing.
Crafty hugs to all.
An absolute stunner. Loved all your shows yesterday and looking forward to some more today. Take care. Claire

Good Sunday Morning Sue & Lovely Blog Friends,
Lovely card today Sue, it's not too much c******as and the design could used for any occasion, love the stick pins as usual!
The shows yesterday were fab, I guess with so many products on the line up it's going to take a while to talk through them all, which is frustrating when we are desperate to see demo's. I will be tuning in today, Martyn is usually pretty good at getting to the demo and keeping his 'banter, to a minimum, he also has just the right amount of humour! Some of the techniques you showed yesterday were brilliant, the effects of two products stood out yesterday, the new Sparkle Mica powders were amazing, just the perfect amount of sparkle, the other was that ' red ' dries clear glue, I was amazed when Sue showed the before and after, it was the colour of Dorothy's Ruby Slippers!
Thanks to all that stopped by my blog yesterday, you seriously made my dad!
Gail, so glad you have your son back in the 'nest' where you can give him all the talc he needs, it doesn't matter how old they get you can't beat a bit of 'mummy love and TLC' to nurse you back to health!
Norah, Mrs Duck, Sam great to hear your names and a few others read out yesterday, I emailed all 3 shows but I guess there were hundreds!
Steph I am pleased you saw the verse yesterday, it made me think of you! It had me crying, but I am a bit of an emotional wreck at times, I cried watching Mamma Mia last week too! Hope you market was a success!
Cameeli, my usual big squeeze for you my lovely friend.
Julie I hope you are feeling a little brighter xx
Hugs to everyone including Myra, Margaret, Lynda, hazel, Janet, well all of you!
Hugs
Sandra xx
Ps congratulations to all the lucky winners!
Good morning Sue, and everyone. I enjoyed your shows yesterday Sue, and look forward to seeing what you will create today. Another beautiful card for us this morning. Rich and elegant, and this would do for numerous occasions as well as for Christmas!
Congratulations to all the lucky winners.
Wishing you, and all your Wilsonettes a happy and healthy day. Love and hugs. Hilary xxxx

Hi Sue
Love the card, I recorded your shows yesterday and hope to do the same today, I did send in an email for your first show with a picture of a card I made last week and I caught bits of the shows live in between doing other jobs and I heard a few names from your blog.
Congratulations to all the winners.
I had my x-ray so just waiting for the Physio's to get in touch as to what will be happening next
Big hugs and love to all the Wilsonettes

Hi Sue. Well as usual a totally gorgeous card for today !! I really love it all. I may be tempted to replace the satin Rose with a spellbinder Poinsettia flower though !! I am loving the Christmas stamps that match the Justrite Labels seven shaped dies. I was not going to buy them as I wanted to save my money for your new dies launch but they are so tempting and so hard to resist !! Would you be able to give us just a general idea when your new dies will be launched ? or is that too cheeky ? I just wondered if they will be fairly soon or several more weeks away yet. Sorry Sue. All this waiting is just awful as I love all your dies so much !! I don't know how you manage to contain all your excitement either !!
Your shows yesterday were just fab but I most definitely agree with Sam Smithard, you need more time to make more demos and we need less talking from the presenters. I thought Dave did a great job and let you "get on with it " !! It is a shame that the others did not do the same.
Well I am watching the late show today but recording all the earlier ones as we have to visit family. I cannot miss any of them !! I can't wait to see you later. Thank you so much for everything you do for us.
Wishing you lots of love and big hugs from Tres x x x
P.S. You looked amazing yesterday, so slim on TV !! I am still hanging on in there with the dieting !! X x x
To Gail C, I hope you are ok. You are going through so much at the moment. Lots of love and special hugs to you love Tres x x x
To Lindsey, Cazzie, and Julie Laz sending lots of love and Best Wishes to you all, love Tres x x x
To all my lovely Wilsonettte friends, wishing you all a wonderful day today. Lots of love and hugs Tres x x x
Morning Sue. Loved the shows yesterday, and looking forward to today!!
Would never have thought of these colours, but I love this card.
Hope all goes well today. Hugs. Jan.xxx
Hi Sue,
Not many hours between my post for yesterday and today's! Lol.
Beautiful card again today . I love the gold and white and the black as you say just makes it pop! You've got me hooked on black now - never used it before I started following this blog. As I said last night I've only seen two shows so far but the samples were all stunning!
Will be watching this morning's show Live but got family coming for lunch so the others I may have to watch later!
I too sent an email yesterday but so long as you know we are thinking of you that's all that matters. Was great to hear names read out though, that we know!
Hope everyone has a good day. Hope the Shows go well, Sue.
Gail - what a lot of stress you and your family are under. Lovely though that your brother is at home with his family. I know that means a lot . Sending love and praying for you all. x
To all other lovely friends on this blog sending love and if you suffer pain - hope it's a little easier today! x
Love Myra
Hi Sue - a beautiful card again today! Brilliant shows yesterday - I love black in a card and thought your triple stamping was great. Looking forward to more great shows today. Best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Lovely card Sue, sadly missed your shows yesterday, but there's one on in a few minutes at 11am.....

Big congrats to all the lucky winners here this week again.

Almost forgot to say about this card; gold is lovely for Christmas, must get on & get some more done!!!

Hi Sue
stunner of a Christmas card today I am typing and watching the show brilliant stamps and samples .. hugs sarah xx
Oooh, love the gold, somehow it makes it a less 'in you face' Christmas card.
Enjoyed your shows, lovely to see you back on my screen.
Morning Sue,
Love the card, loved the shows yesterday. Am just off to watch you now, so have a good day Sue and everyone. Susi xx
Hi Sue,a gorgeous card. Very elegant in the gold. Loving your shows, watching and recording them. Thank you for your inspirational demos.
Such gorgeous cards - the shows this week have been out of this world. I just wish I could afford everything you brought to demo! This card is totally beautiful. :) Edna x
Morning Sue, loved yesterdays shows and all the samples. Loved this card when I saw it yesterday. Loce Jean xxxx
I have a confession! I have heard about you, Sue but today is the first time that I have seen you on Create and Craft. Hopefully the fact that I have already booked your workshop in Taunton might redeem me! Looking forward to following your blog.
Again another stunning card.
My husband rarely comments on cards, but he says from all he saw on yesterday's show, this card is his favourite. "Stunning, beautiful - I really like that". Prime opportunity for me to spend spend spend then! Fantastic cards, as always Sue. Xx
Good afternoon Sue,
Todays card is just beautiful. I've enjoyed and recorded all your shows so far as I didn't want to miss a thing. Congratulations to all the winners and Sue, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day
Margaret A.
Good Morning, Sue and fellow Wilsonettes.
Today's card is really pretty and looked lovely on the shows yesterday, as did all the fabulous samples. I too am on Freeview, so couldn't watch the 7pm show live or record it :-(
I watched it later on my MacBook , I plan to watch it again on my iPad so I can get some screenshots of the cards for reference : - )
I had told myself I wouldn't buy anymore Christmas stamps, as I bought nearly all the JustRite sets showcased last year on C&C. My resolve soon disappeared on seeing your fabulous examples Sue. A few more are going to be winging their way to me !!
Love the PVA Sparkle that changes colour and hope to get this too !!
I am recording all of today's shows too to see later.
Best Wishes to all and hugs to Gail C , Julie and all who need them,
Angela in gloriously sunny S. Wales X
Ps. Congrats to all the lucky Blog Candy winners and Blog comment winners.

Hi Sue
Have been watching the shows and just a quick message before some last minute sewing! The cards and products are lovely and there are a few things on my list- I'm not really a Christmas person and don't make for selling as I can only just manage to do family and friends. I did send a couple of emails yesterday but as I have to be out this afternoon for a couple of hours I won't have a chance to today. It's been lovely having you back on our screens and can't wait for your next appearance!
Hope you get a chance to relax after this weekend- 6 hrs of TV and all that prep, phew!!!!

Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! WoW! Stunning card Sue and thank you for the detailed "recipe" (can't think of the word!) on how to make it. Congratulations to all our winners! Wonderful! Enjoy your prizes! Well, can you believe it. My husband went onto C&C to see if they had some more of the gold & silver card. Whoo hoo, there was! He got to the end and pressed the button.....boo hoo! No email to say that the purchase had gone ahead so he went back on C&C and it had all sold out....must have been on the split second of pressing the "yes please" button! Thank you anyway Sue for trying! Fantastic shows Sue! You look wonderful and loving the demo's and the cards you have made! It's been wonderful to hear some of our Wilsonettes emails been read out too xx Can't wait for the next show! Gail, so glad your son is with you. As with your brother, the MacMillan nurses are wonderful. I used to be a pallative care nurse at night and sat with the member of the family who was suffering while the spouse went to bed. Unfortunately, I had to stop as I was diagnosed with breast cancer and while I was going through that I was sent to have a MRI scan because of other symptoms I was going through. It turned out I have the same condition as Joanna on the blog. So I had to hand in my driving licence. I do miss it though. But!!! Fantastic news! My husband has got his sleep apnia in control and is now waiting have his driving licence returned! Whoo hoo! xx Take care all our wonderful Wilsonettes. Love and hugs for all of you who need one today. Like Pam, I have plenty to give xxx xx Love Karen xx
Good afternoon Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
What a lovely card Sue and without the sentiment it could be for any occassion as it is very versatile. The pins that you have made to go with it just finish it off beautifully. I hope that you will be catching your breath back before your next big project starts though.
I think all our Wilsonette family have looked on and sighed at just how lovely you look, please don't go down any more.
Sandy, i think that you must be married to my hubbys twin as he does the same when i try to watch something that is of interest to me, most annoying and eventually i give up as it is not worth the hassle. I recorded the shows because i just know what he is like.
Gail, so glad that your son is staying to recover at home where he has his mum to look after him. Glad to see that the MacMillan Nurses are helping your brother. When my dad was at home, my mum couldn't get help from them as they didn't nurse up here is Scotland any more according to their helpline, they could only advise if you needed anything. When she needed that help the most, no one would help so i am glad that your brother is getting the help he so needs as does your sister in law as it will hopefully give her a wee break even just to get a cuppa or something to eat. Your in my thoughts and prayers Gail and your family, flower.
Oh Lynda, what a wonderful excuse so very worthwhile. I hope the wee one is well and his mum is recovering well. I bet you had a grin from ear to ear for the whole day. Remember you need to put him down so you can eat.hee heehee.
Poor Sapphire Angela, i hope that the vet could help and that the wee thing is not suffering pain from their encounter. Tee tree is a really good antiseptic for bites and things like that.
Well done Ladies on your win today, i know you are going to enjoy them.
My thoughts on the products to be shown instead of the demo's showing what they can do or be used for is why not as the guest is using the products they put them up on screen so that if we want them, we can buy them. If they did that surely we would have the best of both worlds, great demo's and knowing what was used or at the end of the demo, putting up all the products. End of my part in making tv history.
Janet (Ecco)men have no faith in our way of packing and knowing that we can get everything to fit in the car. See leave the packing of the car to us as we know just how everything should be in it. I used to take my knitting when we went on a long journey. I used to be able to knit an Aran for an adult on the way down and back up from Blackpool, bar the sewing up.
This is going to be a 2 parter as got carried away with myself again, ooops
Norah (Glenochil)
2nd half
Well last night was a good night but i feel like the no.7 bus has run over me and reversed for a 2nd go. We went to that Wotherspoons that opened up in the town, but where did the management put us? At the big tall seats at the bar. Even with the aid of the sticks i still couldn't reach up, it ended up with the bride and her cousin hoisting me up and the wee legs dangling not reaching the foot rest on the chair. I am not quite sure what to make of the attention that i seemed to attract last night as definitely not used to strangers coming up and being sort of in the middle of attention. Crikey the last time i was out on the town was about 14years ago for our wedding anniversary.But it was fun and the various comedians that we came across did make the night go with a swing. One trying to get the bride, cousin, lady in waiting and myself to go to the 21 club what ever that may be. I could just see me with the sticks trying to keep upright never mind dance there with all the youngsters (i don't think so). I left about 11:15 as was absolutely drained and couldn't keep said sticks under control by that time. I had 2 of the tiniest sips of the champagne to wish her well but i was happy with the soda and lime, better on the driving as well. See the sights you see when you don't drink is amazing and so funny. Still trying to recover though today as I am so tired.
Sending gentle hugs to all my fragile friend s for what ever reason or even if you just want one, take and I will see you tomorrow hopefully. From me and my hills I wish you all a great day and hope that hope that the sun is shining for you or from you,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Stunning! xx
Afternoon Sue, I'm just waiting for you to come on TV at the moment, I recorded this morning's show as I was at Church. Your shows yesterday were fab-u-lous, I enjoyed every minute, and your demo's and samples were stunning. I emailed in twice, but didn't get read out, but I did hear lots of names that I recognised from your Blog, yippee. You didn't get much time to demo because there was so much on the Show, but everything was fantastic, I wanted it all !!
This card is so pretty, love the colours, love everything about it.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue and all.
Another lovely card but for me this is my favourite of the last few days. Whether that's because it has a bow I don't know, but I said wow in my head the minute I saw it.
Well done to all the lucky ladies to be drawn this week. Enjoy your prize.
Hope you are all enjoying this lovely weather. I do but I seen more tired than usual.
Lots of crafty love, Jo xx
Almost forgot !!!
Congratulations to all the lucky Winners, enjoy your goodies xx
Sue this is such a gorgeous card, I love the way you show us all every day how to make things and give us lots of tips and techniques, I am so pleased you are back in the UK - saw you on C&C and wow, yes I have surrendered and purchased them. When are you bringing any new dies out? love June xx
Beautiful card,again very elegant.Enjoyed all your shows yesterday,thank you for all your hard work.
Hello Sue. Well done you lucky winners. Great card this one - love the letterpress technique and I've ordered these stamps which will make lovely Christmas cards. So lovely to see you but oh for more demos. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Have loved seeing you on the TV again this weekend although only caught a couple of the shows. Love the stamps and dies but can't afford any at the moment. Thanks for sharing your wonderful samples with us all though. Just a joy to look at them. Particularly like the embossing folder used on this card so that goes on the wish list!
Afternoon to our super slim Sue, I'm sure you have lost even more weight since last tiem we saw you Ion our screens. Lovely card for us today Sue, still getting my inspiration but due to things going on I'm not really feeling I'm the mood just at the moment. Did try emailing twice yesterday and once today, but so nice to hear so many of your wonderful blog names being read out.
Gail you are going brought so much at the mment, thankfully your son is home and recovering and your brother must feel happier in his own home, big hugs to you.
Karen, Lynda, Tres, Tandy, Tina, Cameeli, Pam, Lynne and pesky critters, Alison, Steph, Janet, and of course our wonderful,Norah, big hugs to you all.
Thank you all for being such a wonderful caring bunch of friends, I know I have missed many names out, including Junes! Please forgive me everyone, take are all xxx
Beautiful card, love the colours!
Managed to watch the 11am and 2pm shows today. I especially enjoyed the 2pm show with Dawn as she always makes a point of showing all the samples and two demos as well.
I emailed in but no luck, did recognise a lot of blog members names.
Congratulations to all the comment winners.
Oh, old age is a terrible thing. When I get there I'll let you know (lol)!!! FORGET TO SAY CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS. Sorry xx
Gorgeous Card Sue!
Love the sparkle, it's just perfect for a Christmas card.
Have enjoyed your shows, such lovely products and demos as always.
Congrats to all the winners.
Happy Crafting!!! X X
Lovely card, as always Sue - very pretty
Hi Sue
Another beautiful Christmas Card. I watched your shows yesterday and they were fabulous. I have so many ideas running around in my head - can't wait to start making my Christmas cards now. I have watched and recorded your shows so far today and will do the same with the 7.00 p.m. show. What a fantastic week-end this has been.
Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration.
Bye for now.

Beautiful Sue, really beautiful.
This card is gorgeous. I've watched most of your shows so far this weekend and they've all been amazing. Congratulations. So many techniques to remember! Wish you were given more time for your demos, but we have your wonderful videos with not a presenter in sight, Lol.
Lovely card as usual. Love the iced snow. The Justrite stamp is gorgeous but seems impossible to find the matching die - Sue can you bring the dies to C & C. Thanks, Sue
Hi Sue,
What a lovely card. It is good to think of making a few Christmas cards when there is no rush and you can enjoy the process and take a little longer.
The shows have been inspirational.
Thank you for all the hard work put into your wonderful samples.
Veronique L
Hi Sue great shows but not enough time for demos I know they have to sell the stuff but I think too much time is spent on selling and not enough time on demos, anyway todays card is gorgeous, looking forward to tonights program.. Yvonne xxx

Hi die
Another stunning card today. Loving the sparkle you have used on this card. Are C @ C trying to do away with demos now. That's what it reads like from comments Norah made. I record the shows and watch the demos. Some of the presenters are fine, but some just like the sound of their own voices. Hugs to every one who needs one today. Hope your market day went well steph.
Good evening Sue and everyone
A really gorgeous card so rich and opulent. Really enjoyed your shows both yesterday and today pity you are not allowed more time for demonstrating, but your samples were outstandingly beautiful. Really great to hear so many Wilsonette emails read out, I just love they way you say oh yes they are regulars on my blog! I was wondering could C & C not put up your blog address for those who don't know it, hopfully you may get more followers?
Congratulations to all the lucky winners, hope you enjoy playing with your prizes.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them.
Margaret corgi owner
P.S. Did you do the troublesome flakes demo especially for our Steph?
I do hope you had a good day at the farmers market Steph x

Hi Sue,
Awesome shows this weekend. I bought loads! Your demo's were fantastic. Unfortunately my Freeview recorder decided to go on strike! Thankfully I was able to watch all the shows.
Your card today is just stunning. I love the "ice". The stamps are gorgeous and your pins are the perfect finishing touch.
Hope you're able to rest up tomorrow. I can't wait until July for the big reveal.
Hugs, Rachel x

Love todays card, it's beautiful. Saw you at 11am all shows recorded : )
Hugs for Pam, and everyone else. Take care.
Hi Sue, loved all your samples and the cards you demo'd on your shows. I had to record yesterday's and managed to watch today's live but by the time I had made my mind up what to buy everything I wanted had sold out!
Hi Sue, a very attractive card and I love the letterpress technique. Managed to catch up on yesterday's shows and now watching today's. I will be watching them all again over the next fews days to make sure I haven't missed anything! I was a bit sneaky and got the Iced snow on Friday when I saw it on the website - still waiting for the despatch note though. So good to see you back on our screens and I am really looking forward to seeing you again in Aberdeen and meeting Julia.
Congratulations to all the blog post winners and I hope everyone has a sunny week ahead of them.

Hi Sue,
Great to see you on C&C again, albeit recorded, as I work weekends and couldn't watch them live. Did manage to get some 'goodies' though!!
Love this card and have tried the embossing folder technique with Perfect Medium, what a great result. Also love the tops you wear, bet you don't get them in the UK!!
Regards,

Well done Sue
Congrats to the winners...
Really enjoyed your shows today Sue. Happily they repeated the 6pm Sat show this morning early so able to record it but will be missing the 7pm from today. Ah well - that's freeview. It used to be until 8pm but the hours got reduced again. Up late printing programmes for my community choir's concerts this coming week-end - singing a solo from Les Mis - "On My Own" -(on my own!!) OOh err - no more rehearsals before Friday - so I'm singing it on my allotment when nobody else is there - they'll take me away one day....love Susan X
