Hi bloggers! This one should be bright enough to get you going for a Monday morning, I would think! I really like this one as it is quite different from the usual Christmas type cards, but yet traditional in it's colour. I used the
Justrite Quilted Blocks background stamp and stamped it twice. Both times using a
Clear Perfect Medium pad, but once on
Ruby Red card then heat embossed with
True White detail powder and the second one on red card but heat embossed with clear powder. I used the white embossed piece as a whole for my background, then cut the other one up into squares. I added some mounting foam then placed them on top of the background in every other square to form a quilted look. I stamped the "flower" from the
Christmas Applique set by Justrite twice on to red card using a
clear Perfect Medium and white embossed it. I hand cut both of these and offset them and glued them together, adding a
clear Mini Dazzler for the centre. I stamped my sentiment on to
vellum and added it across the centre of the card, using the flower to cover the end and the glued area. For the border, I did my
Paved Pearl Technique (tutorial at the top of the blog) using
Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots. I did a bit of matting with the red card and finished with a final white mat to balance the card. Finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card Sue, love the quilting.
Jeanne D & hubby, congrats on your Ruby anniv.
Love to all Wilsonettes & hugs all round
Gosh, this card certainly woke me up. It's so bright and different, it's a card I would never have thought of doing but I just love it.
Thanks for brightening up my day, take care.
Morning Sue.
Thank you lovely card, I remember you ding the demo on tv. Have a great day all take care Kitty
Really festive feel to this card as the red and white look great together and they are my Christmas colours, with a bit of greenery here and there.
Hi Sue super card so fresh have a great trip hugs linda
Morning Sue, Wow!! just what we need to brighten up any Christmas, loving the applique stamps.
I have a big interview today, which lasts all day, so everything crossed, I have never applied for a job where you meet your competitors and have to work with them on group activities, so it should be both interesting and challenging.
Have a good day everyone, its a brighter start today so enjoy the sunshine. hugs xx
Cameeli xx
Morning Sue,
A lovely Christmas card.
Traditional colours but with a bright, modern and very stylish look.
Ho ho ho!
Erica x
Good Luck Cameeli with your job interview. You will be great.
Good Morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes, hope you've all woken up to a bright, sunny day :-)
Today's card looks very modern and different. I've just ordered this background stamp :-)
I like the way you've used the flowers from the Christmas Labels One stamp set ( which is on my wish list ) and the way you've stamped the sentiment onto vellum Sue.
Have a good day Sue and everyone, and hugs to all who need them ((( )))

Good morning everyone, well Sue what a stunning card to greet us with today, the colours yes so vibrant I love it and the technique of reversing the patterns, then raising some up, the flower and the vellum - well all I can say is terrific and I definitely will try something like this. I hope everyone is safe, happy and pain free today. For those who are poorly every day is a step closer to recovery, sending hugs to you all June Smith xx
Hi Sue, great card, very Nordic, red and white are always a great colour combo for Christmas. Bx
Charming card - something I will attempt to replicate
Pat x
Hi Sue
Love this card! The background stamp is fabulous and has just gone on my to get list! Very christmassy. I love stamping the sentiment onto vellum for a see through look. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs to all who need one.
Good morning Sue,
This is a very striking card, lovely.
Hi Sue,
Definitely a wake up call, great card I'm loving the applique stamp and flower too.
Donna Jones
Good morning Sue and everyone. I love how you have taken an "everyday" stamp and turned it into a Christmas one. Sorry, I forgot to congratulate the winners yesterday - well done. Good luck today Carmeeli.
Sue xxx
Hi Sue. Well this is bright and cheerful, I love it, I still think that red/white/green/gold are real Christmas colours so so this is perfect. I hope you had a great time Sue, meeting all of the Wilsonettes who got a ticket to see you : )
Sending my daily hugs to Pam and Robbie : )
Norah, thank you for telling us about the hospital visits etc. Your Mum and Nanna sound like they were beautiful fun loving people. (That grumpy Doc lost out in life by not smiling didn't he, sad man!) Now we know where you get your lovely personality from. I may not have met you but it comes across in your wonderful comments. I hope your hills are sunny for you today : )
Tandy, I am thinking of you.
Cameeli, Good Luck, my fingers are crossed for you : )
Lyndsey and Lynne, missing you.
Anne Crawford, what a lovely idea the decorated plastic storage box is : )
Sending hugs to Sue, all of my special friends and to all in need.
Have a good day everyone. Take care.
Morning Sue, a lovely way to start a Monday morning! Love this card, so different but so lovely! I have my two French grandchildren and daughter-in-law coming to stay for a week, so excited as I haven't seen them since January! Love Jean xxx
This is a really pretty card Sue, heat embossing in white is one of my favourite techniques for effect. Love the flower too, now added to my list! Hugs Carole Z X
What a cheerful Christmas card Sue, love the positive and negative thing. xxx
Love the modern look of this card, and the flowers just fantastic xx
Morning Sue. A lovely card to start the week. The red and white are great colours for christmas will have to try this one when my stamp arrives.
Have a lovely day.
Best Wishes.

Morning Sue
First impression - WOW What a bright card - love it. I started making my Christmas cards - by trying the Fire and Ice technique behind one of your Italian collection (sorry - keep forgetting what this die is Calabria?) Must say I'm thrilled with my efforts! Just need to assemble the card now.
Enjoy your day.
Sheila x
Yes, really like the tile (quilt) effect, Sue, bright and cheerful and just what we want for a Monday. Agree with Bridget that it has a touch of the Nordic about it. Lovely.
'P' in Wales
Good luck, Cameeli.
Morning Sue. A really bright card and very christmas colours. Bright and modern. More for the wish list. Thanks Sue for all the fresh ideas. Have a lovely day. Hugs Heather.x
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous that is certainly a style I will be using it is very effective. My latest offering is on Sam Poole's blog if anyone would like to take a look the link is at the right hand side of Sue's blog. Have a great day.Love Jackie
Morning Sue
Wow! a lovely card to start the day, I am making cards today as we are housebound due to the Tour de France cyclists passing very close to us in Cambridge today, so a good excuse to stay in and craft. Been quite poorly for a few days, so haven't been able to get on here. I have started my Christmas cards and think I may try this one, it is stunning.
Love and hugs to everyone

morning Sue
A very modern gift for Christmas today. Although I do prefer a very traditional theme. today's gift would work for birthdays etc and particularly for those pesky males we have to provide for at times.
I have an Anniversary card to make for the end of this month and can see that today's gift would work as their colours were red/white.
Have two birthday cards to make today and then I really must get down to Christmas although I have done a few gift tags (35 up to now).
Good luck for today Cam. I'll have everything crossed for you.
Hope everyone had a really good weekend. Take care and I'll see you tomorrow.
Janet x
Morning Sue, this is certainly a wow card and a really different looking Christmas Card thank you. Have been a little busy lately, granddaughter minding, getting ready for my plant stall at a garden fete, and scapbooking, I have been asked to put on a display at my local Family History open day. Good luck on your road trip Edwina
Lovely bright card. Lilian
Good morning Sue
What an unusual Christmas card it's so pretty, change the flower and it could be for any occasion. I love poinsettias on Christmas cards they make me feel so festive. The paved pearl background is gorgeous and because I find it difficult keeping my 'pearls' the same size this technique is right up my street lol.
Good luck in your interview Cameeli and Congratulations JeanneD and hubby
Hugs x
Heather T
WOW ! Sue
I am just loving your card today, so different ,so beautiful .

Elaine H X
Love the colours, would do for all sorts of occasions too,

Wow Sue yes that woke me up how lovely. That stamp is really pretty and I had forgotten you get the look of the card left behind and the emboss on top- lovely. Pretty flower too. Enjoy your road trip. Have a great day. Love Diane G xxx
Beautiful bright card, would look good in others colours too.
Morning Sue, WOW this is beautiful Christmas card, I love everything about it. With a little adaptation it could also be for other times. I wish I had a fraction of your inspiration.
I hope everyone has a peaceful week.
Love Rosemarie xx
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Love it! It has a Nordic look about it and nice and bright for the festive season.
Have a great day.

A real show stopper oa card today. The recipient of a card like this would be busy for ages studying this one. Hugs to all the fellow bloggers. Caz x
Hi Sue,
This brightens up a Monday morning. Fabulous card. Love the colour scheme - great for my hubbie being a Sunderland supporter! Hope you had a good time in Haverfordwest.
Cameeli good luck with your interview -,fingers crossed for you. Hope everyone is ok and getting stronger everyday especially Pam, Robbie, Julie, Norah, Steph, Gail & brother, and everyone I've missed (sorry). Lynne & Lindsey missing you and tales of the fur babies & animals. Love Alison xxx
Lovely bright Christmas Card enjoyed watching you demo this one, but I'm still not ready to start doing the C Cards.
Jeanne D. Hope you and hubby had a lovely Ruby Wedding Anniversary !
Good luck , with your interview Cameeli, hope it goes well and you enjoy the different experience !
Thanks Mrs B. glad you liked it.
Edwina I hope you sell lots on your plant stall, enjoy the time with the grandchildren Jean, they grow up so fast, and good to hear you're feeling a bit better Dawn S.
How's Robbie doing Pam ? I think of you both often.
Hugs to all xo
GM Sue - lovely and nordic in feel I agree with other Wilsonettes - although I dont think I'd be able to resist putting pearls in the centres of the red on white quilted squares! but then I am a self confessed pearlaholic. Good Luck Cameeli.

Good luck Cameeli, I have had couple of those interviews in the past and find them quite difficult so I'll be thinking of you. Happy day everyone.
MarionB xx
Yeeeep, very awake lol. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes. It's definatly a WOW card today - Wonder Of Wilson. This is one of the reason's we all come back day after day, month after month, year after year, to see what 'different' delights we are in for and you never fail to amaze us with your idea's. I dont know how you can look at a few sheets of card, stamps and embossing powders and make them into something the likes of us would possibly never think of (I apologise if I have under edtimated my friends talants in Sue Land) but its something totally different everyday of the year ! I suppose stamps are a little similar to clothes in a way (those thinking of rubber clothing - please close the door quietly, your on the wrong blog) !!! LOL what I meant is, that sometimes things look better off the hanger, stamps dont always 'do it' for us until we see them included into a card, that turns them into something beautiful, and all the new C stamps and folders etc are exceptionally beautiful this year, but SO difficult to choose from (unless you are lucky enough that you dont have to choose) or are friendly with your bank manager !! : 0
Anyway, I like all other friends here just cant WAIT to see what you have for us tomorrow Sue. I hope you had a wonderful weekend with your Tour De Craft Sue and all that shared it with you, I hope you ALL had the best weekend ever, and my eye's are slightly green I must admit, but a nice shade of envious green : )
GOOD LUCK Cameeli, stubby little fingers kinda crossed in a weird funny way, but at least I try LOL hope your 'different' interview goes well, as per, keep us posted.
To all sister Wilsonettes that feel delicate or in a body 30+ years older than your actual age, Im with you, so know how many gentle hugs would be nice today, to Pam and family hugs to you all and hoping Robbie has made a slight improvement since your last info you told us about - that makes NO sense grammer wise but you know what Im trying to say better than I do at this time of day LOL !
Wishing for you all a lovely day. I may try and craft after my tummy consultant appointment, if my hands feel more comfortable, as its my day long infusion tomorrow so I can kiss Tuesday farewell !!!
Hugs to all.
Love you.

Good Morning Sue & Friends,
Wow such a bright fresh C'mas card, it would brighten up any mantle piece! It looked fairly easy to make too. Nothing too complicated. I started playing with my California Collection yesterday and I love them, the combinations seem endless, they just make me want the whole range, I am not sure wether too by the 'striplet' die next or background stamp?!
Cameeli, good luck my dear friend, I have everything crossed for you today! Let me know how you get on!
Another sunny day by the look of it, I have a list of cards that I need to get cracking on!
Norah I look forward to hearing your heartwarming stories later on, they always make me smile!
I hope the rest of you lovely blog friends are well and enjoying the weather,
Hugs to all of you,

Morning Sue, what a coincidence, I'm wearing red and white today! Perhaps you sent your 'fluence' to me this morning when I was getting dressed. The card is certainly zingy, though I'm not sure if I feel the same, but I'm trying.
Lovely card again Sue really getting into the Christmas theme now. I have managed a few myself. Thanks for the inspiration Beryl xx

Hi Sue,
I love the quilted look.
It reminds me of a Hawaiian appliqued block.
Veronique L
Hi Sue, Love the card very bright
saw you do the demo on tv. Love Jean Z xxx
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
WOW Sue, you forgot to tell us to put on the sunglasses first. I love the flower that you have made for the card as it is beautiful. I think i need to put that set on my need list. I like the patchwork design but would need to make it different from the red and white. I can do red and cream but can't do red and white(it comes from mum's work days where you couldn't take red and white flowers into a patient as it was a sign of death to the nursing profession so they would always pinch a flower from someones vase to change the configuration of the flowers).
Tina - you are going to enjoy that laughter, humour and smile even more when you do see your lovely son. It is hard to see that the now but he will be back and you will see just how much your boy has grown in personality and the good thing about it is, that his mum is always there with waiting arms, hugs and love when ever he needs it.
Tandy, love doesn't stop when they are gone, it just gets stronger. It is still way too early for you. There will come a time when you can look on these treasured memories with love and the stories that they pertain to, but it is not yet. It will get easier, you never forget, but you will start to live again, but it takes time.
Myra, so glad that you had a lovely day with good company, a lovely meal and good weather that you could enjoy your surroundings, what more could you ask for on what seems perfect.
Oh WheelyBad, did Mr WheelyBad find your glasses? I do sympathise with you over the weather causing the body to go into wee paddies because it's unhappy. Mines does that too and it doesn't have to be because of the weather, but just because it decides its going to play up on me. I would say a good massage but sometimes that just makes things worse, so it's grin and bare it until the tablets kick in.
Cameeli flower, take deep breaths and tell yourself you can do this and you can. Don't rush yourself into haste answers, give a full an accurate account of the problem and how to solve it. Who knows, you might meet some lovely people who are just as nervous as you(but don't tell them anything that could give you advantage points)that sounds mean but having been in similar situations they are just looking to see where they can score point off of you. I have every faith in your ability to do this as do the rest of your blogland friends.
Well i can report that i now have a downstairs WC and it works. Just needs the new door and papered to finish it off nicely. What a difference it is going to make to me as i'm quite sure that is why i am so small, all the walking up and down the stairs is rubbing away at my feet. It's going to be great that i don't need a 10 minute head start to get up the stairs. And, hubby got laminate for the front porch as well as the toilet AND both are laid the same day as they were bought, now that is a surprise.
Well it was nice this morning until i put on a dress and you can guess the rest can't you. So all you see is black ominous shapes lingering in the back ground today, my hills are definitely in a bad mood.
Sending gentle hugs to all our fragile friends that need just that wee bit extra.
Steph my wee Lancshire rose, take it easy tomorrow flower as it takes so much out of you. Sending big squishy hugs to you.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Love the red and white, Sue. Can't wait until Thursday, hope to see you in Northallerton and welcoming Julia and yourself to North Yorkshire. Best Wishes. Julie
Good morning Sue,
and all the ladies.
Well this certainly opened my bleary eyes when I saw it at 6.30 this morning. It's taken until now to recover !! (lol).
Alison - what a brilliant idea to do it in football colours - black and white for my son-in-law (The Toon) That's what I'll do for his next birthday - and my great nephew's.
Cameeli - good luck - everything's crossed.
Jean - enjoy your family time.
Sue - what a great excuse to stay
indoors and craft. Watched a lot of it on TV and it showed the area off to perfection.
Lancashire Steph - Infusion Tuesday is such a bore isn't it. Take plenty to read.
Yorkielass - hope you are well.
Pam and Robbie - hope you keep improving.
Sue -thank you for continued fab ideas and take care, love xx
Gosh this one really pops! It's still very naughty though!!!
Oops,
just realised I didn't mention our Norah. Looking forward to reading your blog which I see you've posted whilst I have been blathering on here and answering the door to the postman - and ringing the doctor. xx
This is stunning Sue, love it. Love the design, love the colours. Very festive but modern. Brilliant, thank you for the inspiration.

Hi Sue, a lovely modern looking Christmas card. Bright and cheerful and would brighten anyones day.
Really pretty, could be used for other occasions if the sentiment's changed, I can see this being very useful.
Beautiful bright card, Sue, I'm a retired nurse but I'm not in the least superstitious about red and white! (Must get that stamp!) I was one of the lucky ones who got to meet our heroine at Haverfordwest - magical day, meeting you and seeing all those lovely cards! there must have been at least a hundred! Hope you have a great Road Trip with Julia, stay safe. Love to all, Judy M

Hi Sue, when I first saw this card I immediately thought 'Scandinavian'. I love red and white and this unusual take on patchwork is great.
I started life (so many moons ago) in the nursing profession and never heard of the red & white flower saying but my Scottish Mother-in-Law always said 'blood and bandages'. To this day my husband doesn't like to see this combination in a vase.

Thank you YorkieLass June for lynne and lyndsay infomation, as long as they are well and not hurt, we can wait a wee while longer, but please tell them they are so missed.

In desperate need of the furbabies antics and how our beautiful stallion and foals are getting on. Miss you guys,

A perfect Christmas card, xxxx
WOW, this packs a punch! Love the bright cheery colour and the modern twist that the quilted blocks background stamp gives.The pave pearls finish the card off beautifully. x
Hi Sue
I'm late today as I did two shifts at school today, ad one of the teachers wanted to go and see her son in his schools sports day. Good job as his card has just brightened up my day as it's now pouring with rain here in Witney. Loving the quilted blocks and the background done with the PVA glue. Cameeli go knock me dead girl, I'm sure your lovely bubbly personality will win the day. I've everything crossed for you as we all will today. I think I'm glad I have finished work now, it didn't seem this hard in my day. Norah can you give us some tips on how you got hubby to lay your flooring so quickly. I'll pass them on to my stepdaughter for her partner. A playroom was going to be build, the breeze blocks are three high up. As the 6mth old is now 18, she's been waiting that long. As the youngest of 4 is now 10 it's way to late. An extension to the loft is at least 6 yrs in the waiting and still counting. A wrap around is now on the cards but by the time he thinks about it all the 4 girls will have left home and won't be required. Kitchen diner needed decorating for the Christmas before last and that had Christmas paper put up then. My list could go on forever, so any tips Norah are welcome. Hope your hills are feeling like bursting out all overs son. I had a lovely time Mrs B and Sandra at Newbury. Not to busy at all Sandra, plenty of room for wheelchairs. Hugs to Pam, Steph Norah and Cameeli as usual and anyone else in need of one today.
oh my sue, what a lovely card, i really like the embossed quilting,its really bright and christmass-y another one to have a go at as i really love red and white cards, regards everyone love J

Hi Sue, I Love this Card, I Loved it on Create and Craft I Love The Heat Embossed Quilting it's Extremely Striking and Looks Awesome, I really Love the Colours very Traditional indeed.
I really Love The Stamps you have used from JustRite, and in some cases heat Embossed in White to make it stand out, I really Love The Fabulous Flower which you stamped two and cut two out by hand and offset and placed Mini Dazzler in Centre this Creates a really Stunning, Rich, Opulent and very Beautiful Christmas Card, I love how you've Stamped your Sentiment on Velum and placed under the Flower to hide the glue. Another Outstanding Remarkable Card, I so wish my Cards Looked as good as yours, as I would be so proud to show them to every one. I Love the Paved Pearls one of my Favourite Border Techniques it looks so Clean and Fresh, I wish mine looked as good!

Hellooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Ooooo Sue it was a "wow" moment when I saw this card. It is gorgeous. I knew it reminded me of something and then saw Bridget mentioned Nordic and it hit the nail on the head! Love the vibrant red and white, the flower and the soft look of the velum with the sentiment on. I'm going to experiment a bit with velum for a few Christmas cards, because it looks lovely. "Thank you" Sue! Hope you are fine and that you and everyone had a lovely time at the weekend. It's lovely because you can put a face to the name. Sending love and hugs to you, Lynne, Yorkielass, Lynda, Pam, Lyndsey, Julie, Tina, Lancs steph for tomorrow, cameeli, hope you went on ok today, Ivonka hope your daughter landed safely in the States! Sending more love and hugs to our wonderful Wilsonettes who have needed one today and there'll be plenty left over for you all tomorrow! Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx
Beautiful card Sue, I know a lot of people don't like red and white, I was a nurse and we didn't like the colours due to it being a sign of death as Norah said. I would add a little touch of another colour to sort that.
Hi Sue
WOW what an Absolutely Stunning card. Love the rich colours. I agree with the others the card does have a Nordic feel to it.It really is an unusual card but i Love It.
Take care

Love this card Sue, very Christmassy colours and such a clever idea. x
Hi Sue and everyone,
Very late have been at younger daughters most of the day and her internet was down - so I could not comment.
Lovely card, love the concept but think I would be tempted to add another colour. Many years ago I was (when you could) taking flowers to mother in law who was in hospital, I selected red and white, it was the florist who said you must add another colour or change your choice of colours, it was blood and bandages. That comment has stayed with me all these years!
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Sue,
What an amazing card, very festive, very happy. Awesome job.
What a gorgeous card It jumps off the screen!
Hi Sue, love the card.

Such a lovely cheerful card. I haven't been able to comment for a few days on the beautiful cards you have posted, Sue. They are all gorgeous.
Congratulations to all the Saturday and Sunday winners. Hope all who had birthdays and wedding anniversaries had a lovely celebration. I've got lots of blog news to catch up with. Take care everyone.
Hi Sue - This is an absolutely 'stunning' card. I didn't even want to think about Christmas until now, but I have ordered these stamps straightaway. Lovely idea and really simple. Thanks.
