Good Sunday morning all! Another card from my last Justrite show in April. I started with a piece of periwinkle card and stamped one of the
Ribbons and Swags stamps all over the background with a
Clear Perfect medium pad. Then I used the
Honeycomb Haven embossing folder to give it texture. Then , as if that wasn't enough, I cut the piece into strips and wove them back together to form the background for the card. Using the
Grand Square dies, I created a large frame and used two of the in between sized dies to emboss into the frame. I added mounting foam to raise it and then cut a slightly smaller frame for it to sit upon. I glued the entire piece to my background,which held the woven pieces in place. I stamped a sentiment from the
Becca Feeken's set called Ribbons and Swags and cut it into a strip. I cut several of the
Faux Quilled leaves in white and used them around a
single white organza ribbon rose on the end of my sentiment strip. I added some
white tulle and pearl strings along with a couple of thin pieces of the periwinkle card curled around a pencil. My friend Kim Robertson taught me that trick! The entire piece was then matted onto a white pierced layer, a thin periwinkle layer and a final white layer. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size

What a lovely fresh looking card, the colour used is divine, perfect of a lovely sunny day here. I love the idea of weaving, I've not tried that before either with embossed card or plain simple card, it's been something I did not think I would consider but after seeing this card it's something I will try today.
Thanks for the inspiration and take care.
Wow! I really love it and particularly the way you've made the embossed frame. I definitely need to play with my dies more! Have a lovely Sunday. Yx
Good Morning Sue
Well what a stunning card i absolutely love the colour combo, congrats to all the winner this week, Hugs, V xxx

Good morning Sue,
What a beautiful elegant card. It's stunning and I love it. Congratulations to all the winners, and love to all. HELP
Can anyone tell me why I have a dustbin on my posts - is it because I write rubbish or for some other reason? No one else has one. I am a newbee laptop user xx
Hi Sue,
Great card, love the frame and flower embellishment with twirls of card but feel the woven background is a bit too busy for my liking. Love the periwinkle card.
Donna Jones
Beautiful Sue! Love everything about this card. Have a good Sunday!xx
Another fabulous creation! Lovely card, full of interest. Congrats to all the winners.
Michele.
Good morning another fab card. Congrats to all the winners. Sunny day today. Have a fun filled day whatever you are upto Donna.
morning Sue
We have sunshine at long last!!
Today's gift is so so gentle and of course as I always say you cannot go wrong for me with blue/white and in any shade of blue.
I love the clean simple look and oh it can be for any occasion. That's definitely a winner in my book.
The idea of plaiting the strips is lovely and a big thank you for reminding me that I bought a reel of chiffon roses sat on white tulle ages ago and have never used it. It will now be brought to the fore and all my chiffon roses will be used instead of fighting with tulle to make these flowers.
Many congrats to Norah - oh those mountains will look so and beautiful this morning Norah knowing that you are a winner. Go Norah go!!!
Enjoy the day everyone; take care and see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Lovely Sue, I love the colour and the background, I will try this.
Hugs to all
Congratulations to all the lucky winners

Hi sue
Another stunning card congrats to all the winners looks like today's going to be sunny thanks Tracy w x
Simply stunning, I absolutely love this die . Xx
Yay, Sue, my kind of card!! Really love the periwinkle and the embossed frames (for once, sussed how to do this all on my own before you gave us the know-how - stupidly pleased with myself!) Of course, adore the embellishment but just think may have left the blue background intact rather then using weaving, as so much going on. Now this is one I'd love to win if it were up for grabs!!
Well done all winners, especially our Norah, who will be dancing under the Ochils for sure.
Lee Laz - keep up the good crafty work and hugs for Julie. Hugs for you, too!

Morning All.
Love this card - it's a beauty. I'm a bit confused about the stamping on the blue card though. Won't it stay sticky for ages? Or am I missing something?
Congratulations to all the winners.
Maureen - the dustbin allows you to delete the post if you want to. You can throw it in the bin.
We finally have some sunshine here in Suffolk - yipeeee!
Alison
Good morning Sue, Wow another beautiful and elegant card... And I just love the periwinkle and grand squares.

This card is just perfect. So many things to mention, from the funky background to the lovely frame and also the twirly bits. Love the colour and, well just everything really!
Good morning Sue and everyone
A beautiful sunny day here. The quilled dies are not on my list I'm afraid, but the card is beautiful. Love how you have done the woven background and the frame. Very Wedgewoodesque.
Have a great day.

Sunday smiles to you Sue. Morning Wilsonettes. Yet another sunny day to celebrate, and another beautiful Sue card otherwise known as a W.O.W = Wonder Of Wilson. Definatly a Wedgewood look to it, clean and delicate. I really wish I could afford the grande die to frame my cards I think it turns a card into a framed picture, it makes that 'special' card a little more special with the addition of a box looking frame. I think it just goes to show that although all the decorative dies add a lushness to our cards/projects the good old square dies are such a valuable part of our 'stash' so maybe I should listen to what I say and try and save for the grande die ! But there are SO many of your new collection I dont have and before long your new collection will be needing homes, so I have such a dilema ! : )
Hope you ladies that went to the show at Bolton had a great time, and to those going today - its very warm here again and have a lovely day there.
Need to get a few cards sorted today before my stay on the ward next week, only problem is that I dont have the stamps I need !
I hope you are all being warmed up by the sun this morning. To Julie and our other poorly 'sister' who is SO unwell at the moment, I wish I could wave a magic wand for you. Tina - You are in my thoughts, you know we are all with you at your sadest time, and to our 6am Pam my hugs are for you also.
Have a wonderful day Sue and make many memories today.
Congrats to the list of winners today, enjoy your gift.
Love you.

Congratulations to all the winners

Hi Sue,
Hi to all lovely crafting friends!
Oh Sue, I do like this card today. I adore periwinkle blue and the white faux quilled leaves and tulle rose are gorgeous . Not forgetting the blue "twiddly bits" . Are they just slivers of card wound round a pencil and then sort of tweaked? Now you know why you're writing this blog and I'm reading! Lol
Have wished Julia a Happy Birthday . Thanks for letting us know as Julia is so nice.
Many thanks to all the kind friends who wished me well yesterday! I slept nearly all day and all night so lots better.
Have not read all yesterday's posts yet but will do that later! All being well.
Tres - I am like you and had lots of promarker pens. I still use them a bit but the Tim Holtz pens are softer and it's nice to be able to match up with the ink pads.
I bought three to start with to see if I liked them. x
Norah, - Congratulations! What a popular win! I hope you really enjoy your prize. Maybe these Ochil Hills will be alive with the sound of music today! x
Lee and Julie have a good day. Hope the sun is shining where you are ,sending hugs x
Love to all crafting friends.
Myra
Sunshine and Salsa dancing today Two of my favourite things! Congrats winners too! Love the card Like Ecco any shade of blue is a winner I have stop myself at times and use another colour
Good morning Sue and everyone
Such a beautiful card today I just love those leaves, so pleased the dies are made to last as my leaf die is in use almost everyday!
Congratulations to all the lucky winners especially so to Norah delighted for you lovely lady. Hope you all enjoy your gifts and put them to great use.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them.
Margaret corgi owner
Morning Sue. This is a stunning card but i don't think i would have done the weaving as i like the folder on it's own. The periwinkle and white go beautifully together. I like what you did with your thin strips of card a lovely finishing touch and the quilled leaves are gorgeous one of my fave dies. Congrats to all the lucky winners. Have a lovely day whatever you are doing.
Best Wishes.

Hi Sue, I so Love The Fabulous Colours you have chosen, Today's Card is Truly Exquisite, so clean and fresh looking, I so love the Frame technique which you shared with us on a "Video" and it's quite simple to achieve, on that Video you used The Grand Spellbinder with the corners cut away. I've used it with The Grand Straight Edge Spellbinder.
I Love The Embossing and how you then cut it into strips and then did your strips then did your weaving.
Love The Flower and the embellishments a Truly Stunning Card I Just Love It, Sue Thank You for sharing thank you for your inspiration and for those fabulous photograph shots. "If Any One Deserves To Have 5000 Followers You Do!!!! Not Long Now"
Sue Take Great Care
Love and Hugs

Hugs To All Congratulations to winners!
SANDY .G. IF YOU READ THIS AGAIN SUE DID THE FRAME TECHNIQUE ON A VIDEO CALLED
"FAUX LETTER PRESS" You can watch like I do through You Tube, or go to Joanne Sheen's On-line shop where she has all Sue's Video's lined up for people to watch!

Good morning Sue, another beautiful card in such a pretty colour. I love the filigree look that the faux quilled leaves create. Congratulations to all the winners.x
Morning Sue, great card love the blue and white very crisp and clean. Maybe I would have just left the background
Embossed without cutting it into strips, but this gives it a whole new look.
Well done all the winners, especially Norah, you keep us all glued to your antics over there at Glenochil, have a great day and enjoy your gift.
Gail C make the most of your time with your brother, I went thought the same as you last year and was glad I had the time to be there for him and his family. Take care thinking of everyone who needs hugs. Jess x

Inspired weaving Sue, and your leaves really 'make' the card - I am also chuffed as I have that die, plus all your flower dies and I can't stop using them!
Congrats to all the winners.
Hi Sue. Ooooh now this card today is so beautiful !! I am a huge fan of the Periwinkle blue card, it is such a lovely shade of blue. Stamping, then embossing, then cutting into strips, then weaving. What a great idea !! The results look fab Sue !! I love my Grand Squares dies and use them all the time. They are perfect for using on 8x8" square cards. (My preferred card size.) I love the sentiment. The Rose and the faux quilled leaves are the perfect finish to this beautiful card !! This card is a definite must try but I would make my own Rose from your fab Roses die set instead Sue. Your Roses set has become one of my ultimate favourite flower die sets now !! It has become one of my go to sets when I need some flowers. I have been trying to get hold of your faux quilled blooms die set but every where I have looked is sold out !! I will keep trying. Thank you for sharing this beautiful, bright cheery sunshiny card today Sue.
Have a lovely day, love Tres x x x
To TOB. I am sorry you are so unwell. I hope things get better for you soon. Sending you lots of love and hugs, Tres x x x
To Julie Laz and Lee, I hope things are getting better for you to. Julie, you have a wonderful hubby, you should be very proud of him. Mine would just say all kinds of daft, embarrassing things if I let him blog for me !! Sending you lots of love and hugs, Tres x x x
To Pam, Cameeli, Steph, Lynne and Tilly and Cully, Lindsey Martin, Linda Brock, Sandra and everyone, I hope you all have a wonderful day today. Lots of love and hugs from Tres x x x
To Myra, thanks for your comments about the distress markers. I think I should definitely get a couple to try out. Much appreciated, Thank you. I have collected so many pro markers over the last couple of years, mainly for my step daughter to use when she visits us. I was unsure about buying any more pens but trying a couple out I am sure won't hurt !! I am not sure if I should mention it to hubby though !! Sending you lots of love and hugs from Tres x x x
Congratulations to all of today's winners, especially to Norah !! Well done, lots of love Tres x x x
Hi. Lovely card Sue. Love the blue periwinkle and the 'card curls' - such a great idea. Congrats to all the winners. Have a great day and hugs to all xxx

Good morning Sue. This is lovely. The blue is just like the sky outside today! I haven't tried the weaving technique - it creates even more texture. Your Faux Quilled Leaves look stunning with the organza rose - I'm waiting for the dies to come back in stock.

Good morning from Sunny Blackpool to Sue and all the wilsonettes.
I am so pleased for all the winners but especially for Norah. The kindness this lady has shown a stranger has been so appreciated, this win couldn't come as a better reward.
Now for the totally amazing creation today. A number of ladies have said the same, this is.my kinda card. It's beautiful. The colours are gorgeous. Wouldn't you just like to receive a card like this. As usually I don't have all of the elements needed for this but I'm sure I could have a go with what I do have.
I loved every minute of the GBCF. Would have been the icing on the cake had Sue been there but you can't have it all. Well the antibiotics have definitely kicked in. I'm just tired now but I'm going to be extra careful this week as rest as much as I can to get back to normality for me. I've also got to start to save up again as my craft pot is empty lol.
Don't Knowl why but I'm drawn to saying hello to Lancashire steph. I think it was because of the Bolton comments. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
Lots of crafty love, Jo xx
Beautiful card, love the frame and the flowers, must try and get some crafting done today, been so busy in the garden recently the craft room has been neglected.
Congratulations to the winners , well done Norah!
Hugs to all xo
Happy Sunday and What a stunning card Sue. Love the embossed weaving and colour pallette x
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
WOW Sue, what a wonderful way to wake up on a Sunday morning. A beautiful card in lovely colours and excitement as well. Thank you, thank you for giving me a wonderful finish to the weekend, as you have just managed to lift the k-knacked body into orbit with seeing my name on the roll of prize winners today. I have to say i love the style of today’s card as it is plain and yet not(hope that makes some sense) with the textured background of the embossing folder and then it being cut into strips and woven. I am still waiting for my leaves to come from i can't remember where, but i could try with something else to start with.
Sandra the golden halo will be the belisha beacon hair colour that said daughter thought would look better than grey, and well i can see the cherub part, that would be the height of nonsense i am and the not chubby cherub, but tubby cherub.
Well with it turning out to be such a scorcher of a day up here at the Hillfoots, the trousers and blouse got changed for a maxi dress that i had bought 2 year ago and had never had the chance to wear it, and a wee bolero to cover the tops of the arms. His nibs decided that i didn't need to take me sticks out of the car as i was going to be parking my derriere anyway. Well who looked as if they were stoatin' and that was without the inebriation of alcohol as i bounced down the front path, almost in more ways than one, into the house and out the back. With having our new son's wee cousins there, with Kirsten's friends wee lass, it was a great day and night. They had set up the swingball and it was amazing the amount of big "weans" that wanted a shot, so much so that the wee ones couldn't get on. One lass who has been really ill with B.C. and is still on medication and to start radium therapy got a little bit more than 4 sheets to the wind shall we say, but she has a brilliant sense of humour which she hasn't lost in her troubles, and she just kept us all going. I had the real pleasure of playing musical chairs and getting to talk to some lovely members of the family, including his gran who has just over the moon with her new "granddaughter". Great night but trying to get a drunk hubby and a son who went to play on the xbox rolled into the car and away took some doing. Go glad that everyone had a good time though.
To Tina and Gail, sending my prayers and thoughts too you.
Teresa (TOB), sorry you are so down. I hope you pick up soon.
Good morning Julie and Lee of course. Hope you are getting stronger each day flower.
Joanna, it’s worth the tired feeling now to have had so much fun. Glad your spirits have picked up again. Try enjoy the after show happy bits.
Well I’m going now as I’ve typed the hind legs off a donkey today with excitement, but sending gentle hugs out to our fragile and hurting friends.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Ooops i forgot about everyone else, i was that carried away with myself. Hope you all enjoy your prize from our Fairy Craftmother

I forgot to thank Cameeli and June for their good wishes for the golf, yes I had a lovely time and the legs held out better than expected, it was very hot at times and the golf a bit mixed but the scenery from the course was amazing! Also when I hear how some of you suffer so much and can't get about the same ,it makes me appreciate that I still can and to make the most of it.
Special hugs to Theresa, Pam , Julie , Steph , Cameeli and those in pain.
