I am in crafting heaven, these are just so beautiful. how do you improve on already perfect??!! Loving the French border.
Congratulations Eileen!!
I have a cunning plan to spend more time crafting whilst being at work!! I have been toying with the idea of a crafting enrichment programme for some of our students starting in September. As be part of a small team providing crafting activities for one afternoon a week. The pilot will be for 1 hour to see how it is received by the students. Off now to sort goodies from my stash to donate the Crafternoon Club and make room for my new collection of dies etc LOL!!
Its a grey start but I hope the sun peeks out later to brighten everyone's day.

Congratulations to Eileen on being the Weds winner.

Congrats to eileen on winning your beautiful creation. Have a great weekend crafting and meeting your many friends.

Angela in S. Wales X
Hello Sue,
Loved yesterday's dies. Then I saw today's!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous.
Love,
Roz
morning Sue
Now I really do feel so very spoilt. A French collection and I'm taking this just to be for me. (I don't want to upset anyone and of course I'll share!!)
This is so so so beautiful and I thought yesterday's collection was just so lacey but Sue you've outdone yourself this time.
I can see my saved up pennies disappearing so fast that I'll be fit enough for the O.games!!
Cameeli - I wish I'd thought of that when I was working - what a fantastic idea.
Norah - Oh I'm so envious of you meeting Sue on this special weekend.Hope you see some of her new dies. I won't say have a good time because I can feel your excitement all the way over here.
Thank you for the request to 'him upstairs'. It's at least dry this morning so something worked. The Vineyards are in a mess what with torrential rain and hailstorms. Don't think this year's harvest is going to be a good one. I'm back in the UK on the 1st Sept.
I agree Norah about the friends on here - I could not believe I had found such a fantastic set of people who very quickly became very firm friends.
Hope everyone has a really good weekend and enjoy all that you do.
Take care and I'll see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Stunning card, love the colours and the border die is tres chic as the French would day. Xx
sue,
how do you think up all these ideas for your cards?
this card looks so elegant.
thanks carol
Good morning Sue
I thought you couldn't improve on perfection but you certainly have. I've seen all the other dies and what a treet everyone is going to have over the next couple of days. The hardest thing for me is I'm away so won't be there for the delivery and I know they are going to be sold out 😥 I'm going home on Tuesday so hopefully there will be stock left (although I very much doubt it). Today's card is very pretty and the dies are AMAZING!
Cameeli what a brilliant idea I wish I'd thought if that lol.
Gail hope your okay.
Congratulations Eileen
Hugs x
Heather T
Unbelievable !! They are gorgeous and I can't wait to see your demonstrations of these cards. The wish list grows and grows
Muriel x
Morning Sue and everyone
A very grey murky start to the day here, but these beautiful dies have brightened my morning I need them all very badly. I cannot wait to see the next set later. You are so talented Sue and I really would like to be inside your mind sometimes, really beautiful card to showcase these dies.
Congratulations to Eileen.
Love and hugs

Best wishes to everyone, Pat
Perfectly named, beautiful French lace. Another delicate die.
What a beautiful card sue I need to by these dies I love them all
Hello Sue, O M Goodness, these are seriously Gorgeous. I love the first set of dies and have most of them just one or two still waiting for to come back into stock.
However, these dies are unbelievably soft lacy and fabulous . Oh boy I will need to sit on my hands till Ally Pally.
X Ros
Oh I forgot yes please I would love to win a set of these new dies.
Well I've fallen in love with this French collection and just had to go to JS and order the border set immediately as I'm sure it will sell out, so mine is now on order and I can relax and do my comment .
Today's card is so very pretty, wish I could see it in more detail, could the top part be a new folder? I think you have the most wonderful imagination Sue which you so kindly share with us, and we do all appreciate that! Definitely another big success for you with second range of dies, they are magnificent !
Congratulations to Eileen on winning the Wednesday card!
Hope Sue, Julie and all the girls at the Glasgow demo day have a magical day to remember, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun and learn loads( wish I was going) boo hoo.
Special hugs to Gail , Pam and Robbie and everyone in pain or feeling low xo
Sue I am so excited about your new dies. You have done it again all wonderful designs. I have already ordered some of your dies and can,t wait for them to arrive. Will keep looking at your blog as always inspired by your cards. Regard julie williamson
This card is so pretty. I am loving the border die. Can't wait to see the rest of your samples x
Managed to see your card up close on the web page and YES it is a new folder and it's GORGEOUS!
Hello Sue, well the only word I can think of to describe the new dies is STUNNING. I am loving the very lacy, filigree designs. This card is gorgeous. Can't wait to see the others. Bx
Good morning Sue, Pam and everyone, what a wonderful sight that card was to see first thing in the morning, such a beauty, I am so pleased that I have ordered the Venetian and French collections and the new idy bity bows, oh I am so looking forward to them arriving. Congratulations to Eileen Elder. I now have to wait until noon to see the next card.....oh you are a tease..........anyway everyone have a great Saturday, stay safe, healthy and happu June SMith xxx
Hi. Sue
Another stunning card today as usual. How on earth do you do it Sue?. We all think you have reached the summit with your dies and then you bring out another stunning set. You are simply amazing. Loving both the dies in this set, and would be honoured to win knee.
Hugs to Pam and Robbie.
Hope your hills are alive today Norah, and you are keeping hubby on his toes now that he is on a roll.
Hope your keeping well Steph
What a good idea Cameeli, I didn't do crafting until I retired, but would have tried it if I could. We di have dancing but that's not quite so restful is it.
Congratulations to Eileen on winning a card, you lucky girl.
Oh forgot to say that Joanna Sheen has them in stock as does the Icon.co.uk website. x
Oh my word!! so pretty.
So like butterfly wings - exquisite :)
x
Oh my-stunning card! Really like the border die in this set.
Michele.
My favourite design Sue...so far! Taking my brownies out today for an It's A Knockout event as part of the Big Brownie Birthday (Brownies have been going for a 100 years this year). So will have to wait for the other die reveals today - something to look forward to! By the way, if any of you want to volunteer for Girlguiding, even just doing a one-off craft session with your nearest group, visit www.girlguiding.org.uk. Sorry for the plug Sue but it would be great for crafters to share their skills with the younger generation and get them away from mobiles, computers, x-box and the like!
Hi Sue, I can see why you call them the French collection. They look really frilly and lacey to me. Just wonderful.
ElizabethS x
Love this die range beautiful. I'm hoping a day out with my family today. Hope the weather stays dry, going to St Andrews hopefully.
Hugs to everyone

Sue, I knew i made the right choices as my first buys of this new collection, these two die sets are already winging there way to me.....just waiting for the postman to call........The whole collections are awe inspiring.
Hi Sue
The card is beautiful too
Sorry forgot to add that
The border is gorgeous. So far this is my favourite!
Morning Sue, perfection again, just love these dies as well. I think the postal system might grind to a halt with all the little packages it will be delivering. You have surpassed yourself. Enjoy your time north of the boarder.
Love Rosemarie xx
A note to Cameeli of Richmond. I love your idea and if you need any more craft items please get in touch. I have had a major clear out in my craft room and have a lot of very good, some hardly used, craft items that I was going to try and sell but would be more than willing to donate to a good cause. If you are in Richmond Surrey you are not too far from me in Godalming.
Morning Sue, fabulous cards and dies
have ordered my Austrian over at
Joanna Sheen's she has great prices and free p&p great value.
Sorry it looks like rain today for you
in Scotland it has been glorious too
for the last couple of weeks but hope
it picks up again for your trip to
Glasgow.
Congrats. Eileen on winning the Wed. draw.

Hi Sue
Another beautiful set of dies, my favourite so far. I love the cobweb effect of the background die. So lacy and delicate. Please would you do something like this in a square !?!
The card is gorgeous and shows off the border to perfection. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats Eileen.
Crafty hugs.
Hi Sue
I love the border and the colours. i can't make up my mind which one I like best.
Have a good trip.
Morning Sue,
I just love these dies! Congratulations Eileen!
Well we all got through yesterday, it was a very sad but a lovely day. Staying down with mum for a few more days mainly just for company for her, she has taken these last few weeks very hard.
Once again thank you for all your kind wishes and thoughts, it is just so wonderful of you all and the support is greatly appreciated. It seems an age since I have been able to craft!
Gail C x
Good morning Sue, and everyone.
The new collection is fabulous!!! Again, we are spoilt for choice!
Such beautiful cards today.
Congratulations to Eileen.
Wishing you, and all your Wilsonettes a happy and healthy day. Love and hugs. Hilary xxxx
WOW Sue wonderful backgrounds and borders, so delicate
Good morning Sue and everyone
Tres bon mon petit pois! That's about the limit of my French but these dies are lovely. The first one reminds me of a spiders web.
Your showcase card is gorgeous.
You're a naughty girl Sue! After an email from Joanna Sheen, I've had to buy the Bevelled Glass Striplet!
Enjoy your weekend in Aberdeen.
Ang x
Love all the dies so far, my wish list is growing daily. The card is beautiful, love the soft colour a real winner. X
Morning Sue another great set of dies, I have now bought three of these new dies.
Absolutely stunning , I think this will be my favourite collection, it's like lace, the colour of that blue is perfect, what a beautiful card, see you laters, xx
These are so beautiful and detailed. Hope I'm lucky enough to win one!!
Bonjour Sue!
These dies are just so 'Magnifique'! Haha
That's pretty much the sum of my French!
The French background looks like a Stain Glass Window with it's beautiful pattern radiating outwards, stunning, I can't wait to see it made into a card! The border , tag and corner set are beautiful too, I can see thousands of uses there!
Congratulations once again Sue! You are amazing!
Cameeli, sounds like a great idea, you can get to work and craft at sometime! Just joking, I find it very therapeutic so I am sure children will will feel the same benefits!
Nana Tina, wishing you a speedy recovery for your back, I know what pain you are in and I totally sympathise with you, gentle hugs!
Janet, vineyard ....! You kept that quiet! Lol , what grapes do you grow? How amazing! You just be mad travelling back to uk that weekend! We have done it for last 8 years, journeying home from holiday in Spain, the traffic and ferry port are horrendous! We once queued for 5 hours for a ferry we had turned up a our early for it was chaos, so we did Euro Tunnel last year, which was easier but still busy, had to go back to ferry this year though! But we are coming home on 27august to hopefully miss the rush!
Norah I hope you have the best day ever crafting with Sue! Big Hugs!
Congrats to Eileen!
Hugs to everyone else

Love these Sue .... The card is lovely ... Fingers crossed again hopeing may win this time ... Hugs ... X
Thanks for showing thia sample - another beautiful example of your work. I've always shied away from the longer border dies thinking that I'd never use anything that long on my cards but this sample has changed my mind and opened up a whole new way of looking at these dies.
Hugs, Dianne
Wow wow wow . Each one gets better , loving this set.
Hope to get to Papeterie over the next couple of days.
Alison Dent xx
this card is sooo pretty Sue. looks quite lacey as well. stunning. love colour combo xx
Morning Sue

Hope you are enjoying yourself on the road trip with Julia.
Enjoy your day.
Sheila x
What a beautiful card and I'm loving the border die.Like most people it's deciding which set to buy first.
Hi Sue,
This French collection is truly beautiful. I especially love the border set and I also think the background stamp looks like a beautiful spider's web. I think I might just have to order this one ( the border).
Gail pleased yesterday went as well as it could, it must have been so difficult for you all but especially your poor mum - give her a special hug from me. Pam hope you are getting better , Norah hope your hills have no clouds having a rest, Steph hope you are ok. Cameeli, great idea and the students will love it - I made Christmas cards with my Year 10 group to sell and they really got into it. We did rubber stamping and heat embossing, iris folding and tea bag folding. We made £100 at the school Xmas Fair one year - they were so proud! Well must go - love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Hi Sue, another gorgeous card. The Paris dies are stunning, very lacey and chic.
Such fantastic dies! I really am spoilt for choice. My credit card is screaming yes yes yes, but my bank balance is saying no no no. how do I choose? Birthday coming up in September, will have to resist and say no till then. hugs Cheryl xxx
Hi Sue, another beautiful set of dies. I'm seeing dragonflies and butterflies here!
Last day of my holiday on the Beautiful island if Islay so when I get home I must go shopping!
This is cruel Sue. Each die set is even more spectacular than the last one!!!! Winning one is the only way I could decide. LOL x hugs from Ireland. Evelyn
Hi Sue
Stunning and so intricate. The dies are fabulous. I don't know how you do it - but Thank You.
Bye for now.
SandraP xxx
Love this one Sue! And I'm off to France later this month to look at Universities for my daughter's term abroad - so how wonderful if one of these winged its way to Worcester....(cheeky!!!) x
Hi Sue - Wow! This card is just so beautiful and I love the colour. Have been and ordered some dies but not this one - yet! Love the way you have used it. Have a great weekend with Julia and I'm looking forward to mid-day! Best wishes

Sue , these are so lovely and I am looking forward to all your demos showing how to use them, the border is beautiful.
Keep them coming!
XxxRuth
Hi Sue, the dies just get better and better, the corner die on this blog reminds me of a butterfly wing. The stamps that match the dies are brilliant, just had to order a few of them ( my version of few that is). Can't wait for them to arrive. Hope you and Julia have a great day. Lol lynne m & fur babies x x x
Sue these new dies are just gorgeous, love the French collection
Bridge x
I think these are so pretty, and isn't that a butterfly I see hidden in there? I will have fun snipping into these to see what else they have within.
Loving this one Sue, the new bows are stunning- I have all the bows from the first collection and love them!
oh my Sue - I didn't think you were going to be able to top the Austrian collection but this is amazing - beautiful dies xx
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
A stunning card with such a beautiful border. I love the French border set and the beautiful background, it so reminds me of a spiders web but i think this must be a chic French spider as it is so fancy and lacy, it's definitely a posh one.
Well done Eileen, what a stunning card you have won, enjoy it flower when you receive it.
Cameeli, i think that is a brilliant idea and you just never know which students are going to surprise you the most with their talent.
Oh Pam, i can hardly wait until Tuesday, i am so excited. I don't think children waiting for Santa to come could be more excited than me.
Janet(Ecco), what a disaster for the wine region if it has knocked out its crop of grapes. I know that they need water and sun, but there is such a thing as too much water.Although i don't drink(too daft to start with)i know that it will effect a lot of people.We have the rain today which is normal as it the Alva Games today and it ALWAYS rains without a word of a fib,always so we were expecting it. This is the day that dafties go racing up the hills(aye, when it's wet and slippy because they don't have an ounce of sense at times) to the top and back down, nuts. I have lived in Clackmannanshire for almost 40years and never been to the games once. I normally go to the Bridge of Allan Highland Games as they are much bigger and they have the pipe bands from all over as well as the highland dancing and tossing the caber, throwing the hammer etc.
Anyway bored you all enough now about my favourite time of the year so i will say bye the now. Sorry your back is giving you gip Nanna Tina as i know just how bad it can be and how much it floors me, so i am sending you cybermail gentle hugs.
I hope that the sun is shining for you all if not outside then let it shine out from inside. Gentle hugs to all our fragile friends that just need that wee bit extra,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Beautiful card.Love the delcate border.
Gr Elly
Happy Saturday Sue ans all
Another stunning collection my friend!
Luv Bim :-)
My first day back on the blog in ages and look what treasures I've found!
I've been madly busy for the last couple of weeks and haven't had time or space in my head for crafting. What a treat to come back and find Sue's new dies being launched. Such a gorgeous card and the background is to die for!
Off to take my mum out to lunch for her 80th birthday so will catch up on the other posts this evening.
It's lovely to be back.
Alison
Yet more wonderful dies and a lovely card to show them off. Thanks Sue.
Hi Sue,

Paula x
Happy Saturday Sue and all Wilsonettes. Delightful, delicate, stunningly beautifully breath taking. Such a pretty shade of blue.
Im loving sharing all these extra cards with all our Wilsonettes, its making the days wizz by with all the clock watching waiting to see the next astounding card and die collection. I dont usually share my exact deep feelings , but if only I wasn't on the employment scrap heap I could treat myself to more of the 1st collection, and start collecting this adorable new collection ! So although I live from one showcase to another and to the next, Im doing myself no favour's lol if only wishes did come true ! Cameeli, I second your comment re these dies and the 1st set, goodness knows what delights we are in for in the future, how can anything be any better ?
Have fun in Scotland Sue, enjoy meeting your loyal ladies.
Congrats to Wednesday winner and good luck to all with the draw.
Gail C - take care hon my thoughts are with you and mom.
Tina - really hope you find comfort and less pain soon.
To all our Wilsonettes that dont feel so good today Im sending love and hugs, hoping life is kinder to you soon.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Fantastic collections Sue, it will be a nightmare to decide which ones not to get - if any haha!
Hi Sue,
Thought I'd left my comment at 0800 when I first saw that stunner of a card. Truly beautiful and elegant, intricate without being OTT. Background, border corner and tag are just divine. Have given up trying to decide which ones are my favourites, I want them all.
Hi Sue,
Love this collection as well - I'm seeing spiders webs and butterfly wings with iced snow on them. Stunning.

Ok, it's official, I'm hooked on your dies! It's just after 4.30 in the morning here and I'm reading the posts! Wonderful collection Sue. Have fun in Aberdeen it's where I finished my schooling. How did I end up in Maine? That's another story. Looking forward to seeing the next creation in a few hours.

Thanks for letting me know Steph.
Gail I was thinking of you and your family yesterday, I hope it all went smooth and gentle for you. X
Kind regards :-)

Love the lacy effect looks gorgeous and a bit cobwebby! Is that a word?
Gail glad you survived the day. You will get back to craft and it will provide a valuable distraction!
Lancashire Steph you aren't on a scrap heap. Value all you offer to others especially support to others on this site. Which craft shop do you use locally? Have tried to go to one in farnworth but have always gone on a closed day! Think this may be the one you refer to.
Love to all! Xxx
Good Morning Sue Gorgeous card today and what Gorgeous dies WOW.
Which to have first oh dear !

Wow Sue, these die sets are really lacey. Love the way you use the border det in the card. It's so effective.
Hugs Alice xx
Good Morning Sue and All
Wishing you all a lovely weekend and hope you all get the chance to be crafty. I thought the Austrian Collection would be a fav with me until I saw all the other dies - when you see them they ALL become must haves. The background die is particularly gorgeous but then again they all are! Hope you enjoy your trip to Scotland Sue.

Hi Sue. WOW !! Your cards and dies just keep getting even more beautiful !! The French Collection background and the border, corner, tag die sets are just stunning !! I just can't believe how stunningly beautiful everything is !! I was going to say that all of today's die sets are a "must have", but then everything you have shown us so far is a "must have". The card is stunning too !! This is definitely a new background embossing folder too !! Just gorgeous Sue, and so cute !! What a stunning new collection you have made Sue. I think everything will be flying out the door. Everything is so gorgeous and choosing my favourites will be very, very difficult.
Take care Sue and have a lovely crafty day today. Lots of love Tres x x x
Pam, I hope all is going well with you, and I hope Robbie is doing ok to. Sending you lots of love x x x
Gail, thinking of you and your Mum. Sending you lots of love. X x x
Sending lots of love to all the Wilsonettes today from Tres x x x
These are just beautiful - I think my favourite so far! The border and corner dies are absolutely gorgeous as you have demonstrated in your fab card. I have my name on the French Collection for sure.
I LOVE that background! Will you be doing tutorials on these sample cards? It looks like you've used Iced Snow over the sentiment - but if so how did you get the words to look so black and crisp? Love it anyhow! Yx
Hi Sue,
What an amazing border design!
Can't wait to see what's coming next.
Veronique L
This is a beautiful card. These French dies are to die for. You have surpassed yourself with the design of these. I can see I'm going to need a bank loan!!

Just exquisite Sue, I think the French background is going to be one of my favourites. I just love the colours of this card, blue my favourite. Look forward to seeing more new goodies. Love Julie
Oh Sue, these are so beautiful. I was trying to be so good too, only ordering a few sensible choices .... but I am weak with want .... and YOU are a crafting seductress!!! Sue x
Wow Sue - this card is stunning. Are you using a new embossing folder on this??? If so, I want it!!!!
Hi Sue. Elegant die set! Gorgeous love the lacey delicate look.
Hi sue.

Hi Sue
Another beauty! I am in what is called a quandary I think!
Today's card is lovely and what dinky little bows! That's the thing you see - I spied - like others little or not so little Finishing Touches!
I really loved the Innsbruck one so fell for that I'm afraid and a Finishing Touch I spotted on one of yesterday's cards! They are all lovely - but I have used your previous sets constantly . Nothing has remained in its packet! It must be the inspiration as well! Thank you - enjoy the Granite City! x
Gail - good to see your post today. Glad things went as well as possible . Love to your Mum and yourself especially. x. One day at a time!
Norah - sorry about the rain! Never mind - it will be a glorious day on Monday whatever the weather for you! Safe travel and have a great day! X
Janet - oh dear , you'll have to raid the cellar! So pleased its stopped raining! x
Alison Couchman - Happy 80th Birthday to your Mum. Have a lovely day! x
Love to all, Myra

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Love the new dies. Congratulations to Eileen.
Good morning Sue,
and all the ladies.
Well Sue, you've done it again. These dies are gorgeous and the card is beautiful. Your brain must be a minefield of ideas!!
Cameeli - I go into my granddaughters' school to do craft with classes ranging from 5 to 11 and they LOVE it. For the youngest it's obviously things like colouring and drawing, sewing hand puppets etc. But as they get older we make all sorts and I've even taken my embossing powder and heat gun (with stamps and pads of course) and they've heat embossed when making cards. They love that because it's like magic.
My daughter threw in a surprise last night (at the school barbeque) when she said that she had told the school where she works that I'd do a craft class for any of the mums who'd like to go. Of course none of this is paid work, and I supply most of the equipment on a tiny pension. BUT I do enjoy it!!
Sorry Cameeli, this post started just to say I think it's a great idea of yours!!
Pam, hope you and Robbie are faring well.
Norah - have a great time with Sue and Julia, I love your blog. I feel I'm almost there with you.
Lancashire Steph - you are not on any scrapheap. Believe me in my time I've been made redundant, lost all confidence and only now, 34 years later, realise that I knew, and could do, much more than I thought. If only I had realised it then.
Well, that's me for now, off my soapbox and girding my loins for the day ahead.
Oh, congrats to Eileen.
Love to all, have a great day xx
WOW! Amazing! You've done it again Sue, I was very lucky and managed to pick up 15 of your die sets from my local craft shop yesterday, can't wait to use them, they all look amazing!
Can't wait to see the rest of your cards using these collections
Hugs Julie x
A great set of dies. I like the "channel" idea on this blue card.
Oh my goodness this is such a gorgeous set too. The border, corner and tagset here are absolutely outstanding.
It's beautiful, cobwebby, lacy....perfect. I don't get much crafting time in the summer (hotel is busy with tourists) but I am making time to check these out each day. Been looking at Creative Expressions website at all the wonderful finished cards.
Cheers
Janice W
Beautiful border, just stunning
Wow again. The border die is exquisite. Beautiful card. Keep them coming.
my ypungest is 13 today. She wanted a pirate party. Yo ho yo and a bottle of rum for me!!!
