Hello bloggers! Corner, corner, who has the corner? I do and eight of them to boot! The corner from the
Austrian Collection is gorgeous and makes such a beautiful card too. So simple, cut four of them and glue them to a piece of pale lavender card. Cut a smaller pale lavender square, cut four more corners out of
coconut white card, glue them into the corners so that each of the corners overlaps, creating a different pattern. Cut a wider white mat for it and add decorative
white PVA glue dots to the edge after mounting the entire piece in a diamond fashion. Out of the pale lavender card, cut the decorative middle die from my new
Salzburg die and mount on to foam in the centre of the card. Stamp your sentiment and cut it out with the smallest die in that set. Ink it with
Shaded Lilac distress ink before removing it from the die and mount in the centre of your focal element. I added a pierced white mat layer before finishing with a thin lavender mat and a final white mat layer. This is definitely a case of a card where the dies do all the work, but they do it so beautifully, don't they! The finished dimension are 6 3/4" x 6 3/4" in size.
If you are interested in any of the pictures from the roadtrip, please check Julia's blog (InkyFingerzone.blogspot.co.uk) this week as she was the photographer for our fabulous adventure!
All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card,Sue - really shows off your dies.
Anne (Northampton)
Love this idea,I assume the French corner would do the same thing.
Lovely card today Sue, the colours, shapes and textures work well together.
I've added these dies to my wish list, which is growing ever longer and I think I will have to win the lottery to be able to buy everything on the list now.
Who said crafting was for the thrifty? It costs a fortune to buy all the lovely dies and stamps and embossing folders on offer.
Thank you for showing it to us.
Craftihappiness to you all, love from Pearl.
Hi Sue, I Truly Love Today's Outstanding Card!
I Love The Austrian Collection and Using The Awesome Corner.
You Have Chosen Fabulous Colours For Today's Card The Beautiful Coconut White and The Soft Lavendar, The Corners are quite Amazing, just Love them.
I Truly Love The Centre Of Your Card Where You've Used Your White PVA Glue Dots and Your Awesome Iced Snow Which I Just Love and where you've added more Corners.
You've then used your Salzburg Die then Stamped your message and cut it out using one of your smallest Dies in The Set, I really Hope your having a Fantastic Day.
Drive Home Carefully.
Sue Thank You For Every thing You do, Your an Awesome Person, Kind and Extremely Thoughtful, always thinking of others. Thank You For Sharing, Thank You For The Daily Inspiration You Give To Me, Thank You For All Your Hard Work.

Another stunningly beautiful card. I really love your new dies sets, especially the Austrian Collection. The Austrian Collection is so delicate and lacy. Your choice of colors today was just perfect, supporting the elegance of the dies. Can't wait to receive the new dies, don't know how long it will take in the post to the states.
Such a gorgeous card.
Wow! Such a gorgeous. I love all the layering.
Hi Sue
Awwww, what a wonderful card. Took my breath away when I saw it. I might have to buy myself a little get well soon present after Friday :-) having a fun old time trying to find things like respectable pyjamas (not old tee shirts with questionable statements on them) and choosing a couple of books and magazines, loading my mp3 player etc.
Special day yesterday, fur boy Billy celebrated his 5th birthday yesterday with extra chicken in his dinner and a big bone. He's got more toys than a dog should have so he got a special mat to lay down on when it's hot a couple of weeks ago. He's spent most of today asleep and ghe main bulk of organising for hospital is making sure he's sorted!
Okay quick peep at other posts then I must get on making this leaving card requested by Mr WheelyBad, I have to crack on with it as have to get Mr WheelyBad's birthday card done in case I can't next week. Sue, I'll be checking your archives I think as as usual, my mind is a blank!
Crafty hugs to all

Hi Sue
Beautiful dies, Beautiful card. A very pretty and frilly card.
Thank you all for your lovely thoughts for our anniversary yesterday. I was meant to be taken out for lunch, but we got side tracked looking for a new caravan. It was way to late to eat, so I bought some dies instead when I got home. That filled me with happiness as much as lunch would have done.
Big hugs, and a big gentle one for Robbie X
Kind regards :-)
Tina XX
Stunning Sue, I can't wait to get these new dies

Hi Sue
Me again!
I'm so excited, my Petit Vinery are here, all the was from Craftworld In Glasgow to Suffolk in one working day!!! Have a lattice bow stamp to play with too :-) WILL have a play before I go into hospital, it'll make me super efficient as I'll have to get things packed and ready by tomorrow night so I have all day Thursday to play.
Have changed my mind about 8 times over what my next purchase is, not easy as I still have some neeeeds from your first collection to pick up. I think I may have to put a lucky dip system in place!!!
Crafty hugs to all, take good care of yourselves

Good afternoon Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
Well girls i have had the most wonderful day today and Sue was every bit as i imagined her to be in real life... beautiful,kind, friendly and full of fun. Sue is very much what you see on the television is what you meet in real life, so down to earth and normal, not like other big stars. Thank you Sue for all your hints and tips that showed us up in Glasgow, and having seen techniques up close i can feel an experimenting day coming when i get back from sleeping. I went up with the lovely Frances(fluffy cat)this morning and had a lovely day when we got to Craft World. Can i just say what lovely staff they have there and so very helpful and caring. Nothing was too much trouble for them and so kind, even to the wee coffee lounge that they have which was a very welcome sight. What a busy day for Sue as she had an awful lot of us each session and they were packed out. We went to meet a superstar and we met one, one in a Trillion that is. I think i am going to have a smile on my face for a good while. Thank you Sue as you just made not only my day but i think my year today.
I have come back to my hills beautifully bathing in the sun. SO tired now so i will see you all tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Just beautiful.

The Austrian corner die is fabulous and so are the colours of today's card
You should be so proud of the comments that were given with regards to your new release dies
They are the bees knees !
Crafty hugs Sue xxx
Such a delicate and beautiful card Sue, lilac is my favourite colour for cards.
Hi Sue,
Another softly toned card, with such delicate dies. The lacy look is one of my faves. It's perfect for those times when you don't know what you want to do, but you happen to have a lovely corner die. Et Voila! Gorgeousness!
I really really love the Austrian collection and this card is just fabulous! Christine x
Awesome card, Sue. I love the corners and how you've used them for the whole card. The centre image is just fab too.

Hi Sue, So lovely to read how Norah's day went, I think we will all excited for her - at last to be meeting you.
I would underline everything she has said as I've been fortunate to meet you a couple of times.
Hope you and Julia are on your way home now to have a well earned rest..................... And you Norah have a beautiful sleep tonight.
Love Brenda xxx
Hello Sue - I too am new to adding a comment - I have tried before but am not confident - like many others I am a huge fan of both you and Julia and will also be at your Taunton workshop -thank you for the new small bows which I love - although I already have some of your first release bows as a crafter who makes small cards these will be invaluable to me - please a gentle reminder to keep in mind crafters like me (those who only make small cards) although I know that you do try to accommodate us all and how difficult that must be - thank you for your inspiration
Love the colours and using corners like that fab idea. To all those meeting Sue in Glasgow enjoy. Luv to all jax
Beautiful card with gorgeous dies and fabulous colouring.
I do like this. Haven't got the corner used in your card but I'm sure it'll work with one of the others -well worth a try!
Hugs Janet in Kent
Just gorgeous. Not only beautiful dies but lovely colour combination too.

Norah so glad you have had the best of days with Sue, have a good rest now. To all new bloggers, you have joined the best ever blog with Momma Sue and are now officially Wilsonettes.
Great time Mrs B, will remember that one.
Tina, glad your anniversary went well, agree new dies better than lunch. Did you get your caravan?
Gail, glad you are home although I know it will be tinged with sadness at leaving your Mum at this very sad time.
Have a good evening everyone. Sue and Julia hope you are now getting some you time. Xx
Pam Hartlepool

To all my usual friends on this wonderful blog, have a good evening and for those of you in pain or just feeling down, extra special hugs. Love Alison xxxx
Really effective use of the corner die. Thanks for sharing a great idea for using them in this way.

Hi Sue. Had a fabulous day at Craftworld today. Your cards are stunning and the demos were great. Can we expect a Scottish collection of dies yet? Lol. Janette
Hi Sue, firstly I must thank you for two amazing demonstration sessions today. So many hints and tips my mind is in a whirl. The photographs of your cards on the blog show us what can be done but to actually see and touch the cards gives them a whole new dimension, they are all truly stunning.
Norah very kindly drove us through and we spent a most enjoyable day watching Sue and looking at all the goodies on sale. I succumbed and bought the Magical Butterflies and the Itty Bitty bows. Looking forward to having a play with them all.
Back to today's post! I adore this card; the colours and the dies shout 'me, me' and am I not the lucky one, I have the dies to try and replicate it.
Wishing you Sue and Julia a safe journey home and I hope that you are going to have a rest for a few days.
Frances
Stunning card - luv it - everything about it xx managed to buy your 'itty bitty bow' die to from a local stockist - so I am one happy bunny xx GailT xx

Hi Sue. Sorry this post is so late. I have been ill today. I think today's card is beautiful Sue. What a fab card to make using just the Austrian corner dies and the Austrian Salzburg die. You have created a very pretty, delicate card and like you have said the dies do much of the work for you !! I love your colour combo to. I think there may also be a hint of glitter on the card to ? Lovely !!
Sending you lots of love today Sue. I hope all went well at Craft World. Love Tres x x x

Hi Sue
It was lovely to see you at Craftworld in Glasgow today. The demos were perfect and you didn't lose your voice after talking all day, you both must have been exhausted. The samples when shown on the blog or at C+C are always lovely but I have to say that in real life they are simply stunning.
Look forward to seeing you here again...... Tell Julie I promise to buy paint the next time she is here!!!!
The next time I see her on C+C I will hear her shout "Paint, paint, get your paint here, your not leaving till you buy some!"... chuckle chuckle.
Lovely card in my favourite colours.
Super card Sue, love the corners, love the radiating oval too.
Hi Sue. Another beautiful card. The colours are lovely and delicate just like the dies which seem to look a bit lacey. Thank you for the past few days it has been fantastic seeing all your stunning cards with your new dies giving us crafters ideas on how to use your new dies to make some beautiful cards. Hope you and julia have had a great few days demoing and having some fun and laughter.
Best Wishes.
