Good Sunday morning all! I was going to keep the Christmas cards for Fridays but I had already loaded this one up for today. I am still sure they are more than enough Christmas cards to do double days as well as a few scattered here and there! In other words, I made a lot of Christmas cards! I love the simplicity of this one. I stamped the
Quilt Block background by Justrite using a
Snow cap Adirondack pigment ink pad on to white card and heat set it. I inked over the background with
Aqua Adirondack ink, bringing the pattern up just so it looks like a ghost image in the background. I used the
Justrite Snowflake and a Cobalt blue Archival ink and over stamped the background. I matted it with a thin white mat. I stamped my sentiment on to vellum using a
Clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed it with
white embossing powder. I cut it into a strip and mounted it across my card. I used a
Create a Flake for my snowflake which I seated on the end of the strip. I cut a larger white mat and ran
double sided tape around the edge and coated it with
Iced Snow for a bit of bling. I layered up my background on it then added my final double white mat with the inner pierced layer. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.

Morning Sue and everyone, lovely card today, so gorgeous. Well done to all winners.
Thank you for all of the wonderful comments about Robbie, you don't know how much it means to have all of your support. I feel as if I am so far away to support them but you are all here to listen to me, my blog sisters, I am so very grateful. I forgot to say yesterday, Robbie is building his AB strength to sit up, he now has a 2-pack and is working to regain the other 4. Mary said he is very proud of his 2-pack.
Physio yesterday agreed with Wednesday, so back on 2 crutches, part weight bearing but I will do it.
Dianeandchips, how goes it hun x
Hope everyone is well, migraines gone.
Welcome back Janet.
Huge hugs and love to everyone, you are very special people.
Hi Sue,
beautiful card, both the design and colours. Thank you for the inspiration, I could never think of all those techniques.
Hugs, Rose

Lovely card today Sue and in one of my favourite colours too. Made a card in a frame the other day sort of on these lines but used embossing boards for the centre and was so pleased with the end results. Thank you for all your inspiration.xx

Good morning Sue and everyone. Love the overstamping technique that you've used here, and the snowflake stamp is a favourite too as are the non traditional colours.
Congratulations to all the winners. Special wishes to those in pain and anyone on the last day of school holidays - don't spend it all rushing around checking lesson plans etc! Sue xxx

Congratulations to all the winners.
Pam the news gets even better about Robbie and I'm just so very pleased for him and his family and especially you being so far away...but I'm sure Robbie knows you're right behind him willing him to build his strength back up.Pam you take great care on those crutches now and do as you are told and you'll soon be dancing around the house!
Hugs to all in need of them and hope your days get brighter.
Love Sheila xx
Hello Sue,

Jane xx
Sunday Smiles as usual to you Sue. Happy Sunday to our comment winners, what a lovely start to your day, HOW many times have you scrolled up n down to double check lol, if you are anything like the rest of us - LOADS ... Enjoy your gift ladies.
Oh Pam, Im sorry to read about your little 'hiccup' regarding your poowly ankle hon. Please try not to get too dispondent and I know its easy for me to say,and I know it seems like forever since your accident, but hop- fully (sorry ) : ) this will help you start to get you back to full health again. What great news about Robbie, who would have thought that he was going to make this much improvement at the start, wow, his body must have been in SO much shock for it take so long to rest, but he's coming on a treat : ) let's all hope baby Leo fights as hard.
Tina, my thoughts were with you yesterday love.
Sue, Im starting to feel all over protective again ! Im seeing quite a few die companies following your designs, swwet little bow's, the odd familiar EF's and I dont think it's right ! There, concern and 'rant' over, if Id not put how I feel in words it would keep chewing away at me !!
The gift from you today is so delicate, then the Colbalt Blue to throw out the background, its quite an unusual Sue card, I dont like to say this, but it looks 'too empty' for your card, it makes me want to put something either across the top, or add something small but stunning somewhere, its lovely for a quick easy card which when making C cards is so necessary to allow us more time to work on those extra special cards. Id love to tot up how many cards you make a year, apart from blog cards that is, as everyday there is new inspiration, idea's and techniques, I know you have been doing this a lot longer than I have, and have so much more to work with than I have, but how on earth do you think of something new and different to forfill the quota of cards you have to make ? It just amazes me. Thank you.
Janet - hope you manage to fit all you need back into your car ready for your trip back to play with your new dies that will be waiting for you (although I do know that the week ahead is rather manic for you) !! Do you ever find room to take a few naughty cakes back with ? Lol.
Well, Im done, apart from wishing you well this Sunday Sue, which at the moment is dark damp and wet up North ! Hoping you are happy and well.
To my lovely ladies, I hope you have a decent day with less discomfort than yesterday, and if I could take any sorrow or pain from you I would.
Have a lovely day.
Love you.

Hi Sue,

I Love Today's Card, I Love The Fabulous Colour! And How You Used Snow Cap Ink Pad To Create Your Amazing Ghost Like Background, Then Going Over With Your Beautiful Aqua Adirondack Ink, This Brings Out The Glories Detail (I hope you spell it like that Lol!)
Then I Loved How You Then Went Over It Again This Time Using The Beautiful Colbalt Blue I So Love The Velum Sentiment , Where You've Used True White Embossing Powder, This Looks Amazing, I Love How You've Created A Mat/Laer And Added The Awesome Iced Snow, I know it's Your One Of Many Of Your Favourite Products But It's It's Mine Too.

Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, a very special Christmas card today and the vellum stamped and embossed strip is so lovely, it really finishes off the card beautifully, I personally can never get enough Christmas card ideas and you so inspire me Sue, I am so grateful for your daily blog, it is the first thing I tune into every morning.
Pam I am so pleased about Robbie and I, like many others here, are following his progress avidly. Also pleased that both physio's agree and you have to use the loadbearing crutches for a while, it will be worth it my friend.
Well hubby has just brought me my breakfast so will finish now. Stay safe, healthy and happy everyone. hugs June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sue,
Once again another stunning card and I'm loving this shade of blue. Congratulations to today's winners and Sue, I hope it's not too long before we see you back on our screens here in the UK. Thanks for your email and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margaret A.
Hi Sue
Another stunning Christmas card. So easy to make to. And as luck would have it I actually have these stamps. Nice touch with the vellum as well. Like Lancs Steph I've noticed that some companies are jumping on your band wagon Sue. But I must admit your are more delicate and the correct size for bows, and theirs are much to large to put on a card.
Great news regarding. Robbie, he's lucky to have a two pack never mind a six one. Keep up the good work with your poorly leg and you'll get there. As least you will be able to get around a bit more. No running mind you.
Congratulations to all the winners, you lucky girls.
Special hugs to Mrs B and Sandra and hugs to all in need of one today.
Morning Sue
Another stunning card - looks nice and quick and reasonably flat - making it easier to post. One to try.
Thank you for the inspiration.
Sheila x
Hi Sue, back again after a 8 day stay in hospital with an infection, love this modern Christmas card, have this Jusrite stamp may be 'borrowing' some of the ideas.
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies,
This is a pretty, clean, unfussy card - but would be better with a bow!!
Pam, wish I could say I had a 2 pack, never mind a 6. Well done to Robbie and his determination. I hope you continue to improve, but be careful. I had 3 fractures all at the same time and it's wise not to overdo it, even though you're tempted to.
Lancashire Steph, get yourself over to Newcastle, it's dry, bright and the sun is shining (but don't know for how long as there are clouds in the sky!!!)
I hope everyone has as good a day as they can and love to all. xx
P.s. Oops, congratulations to the comment winners.
Love this card Sue, very elegant, hugs Carole Z X
Another beautiful elegant card! I don't know how you make time to make them all Sue, but I am glad you do!
Hi Sue,
Blue's are so Christmas!
The stamped background is so effective and then stamped over again makes it really pop.
Love the use of acetate and the snowflake just sets it of.
Keep them coming Sue!!!!!

Wishing you a very happy Sunday.

Pam, Robbie really seems to be working hard getting back into shape again, what an amazing young man.
You take care now on those crutches, don't go over doing it. Love and prayers to you both.
Janet, hope everything fits in the car and you have a safe journey tomorrow LOL
Good morning Sue and everyone
Such a beautiful card for today, oh I can almost feel the quiet chill that always comes when it snows with that lovely blue background and the single crisp snowflake, thank you.
Congratulations to the lucky winners enjoy your prizes lucky ladies.
Hang on in there Pam you can do it, with just a little more patience you will get there. Please don't get over ambitious with those crutches! So pleased for Robbie he is one very determined young man all credit to him and his wonderful team at rehab.
Sue I really have to agree with Steph other companies are producing very similar dies and embossing folders to yours. I think it is so unfair of them, they should know better but in my opinion they are poor copies. Rant over just had to say though.
Tina you were in my thoughts yesterday, you are one brave lady.
So nervous but very proud for my daughter who is starting her new job tomorrow, as a deputy head in a new school, she is so excited about it.
Warm wishes and hugs to all who need them especially my very special friends here, you know who you are.
Margaret corgi owner
Hi Sue, a lovely christmas card. Congratulations to all the winners.
Hello Sue. This really works. The aqua colour is really fresh and makes an unusual Christmas card. One that would be a pleasure to make in August - if only there was any left! See you in September. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Hi Sue stunning card today I do like that beautiful snowflake and the way you have used the vellum strip. Sunny here in Edinburgh so of to walk the city again - oh boy are my feet tired but then how lucky am I to be able to do it! Thinking of you Pam back on those crutches take care and keep resting. Edina sorry to hear you have been unwell hope you feel better soon, being home in your own bed helps doesn't it. Congrats to the winners today and how lovely it's gone to you Breezes in Portugal so you will have some lovely craft stuff to play with. Have a great day love Diane G xxx
Good morning Sue and Wilsonettes,
I love the ghosting image to the background Sue, it gives that subtle look under the aqua ink. Think this is a lovely plain card with the lovely snowflake could probably appeal to more people than we may think.
Well done to all the winning Wilsonettes, enjoy your prize when it arrives.
Time taken which will be wisely spent Pam and see you back to yourself again. And what a lad, a 2pack already, good going Robbie. I think that is what friends are there for, the good and the bad days Pam. We will never get fed up hearing you because friends always have that shoulder and listening ear and what hurts you, hurts us for you if that makes any sense. You keep on telling and we will keep on supporting Team Pam in here at Team Sue.
yes Steph, i have also noticed that about Sue's ideas influencing or just plain.... think i had better keep the rest of that sentence filed in my brain. I notice that this company has also brought out fancy ones in with the plain set in both sizes. It seems that patent goes for nothing or so it seems to me. Have i bought the "new" dies, not on your life as i have the original and best in my mind and probably yours too flower. I may not have all the designs yet but i do have the main ones near enough and will wait until i can get the rest, although someone keeps bringing out new ones and like you i haven't anywhere near finished collecting the 1st set.
Well done Rose(Breezes) and glad that you have become a Wilsonette, but what a name to call your village, that's probably what i call Glasgow motorway on a week day morning rush hour...Chaos. Glad that you have won when you live so far from decent craft shops.
Deborah (Artliff), do like me, ink the stamp, TAKE the CARD to the stamp and press it firmly all over the stamp. I sort of rub the card on the back so that i don't miss a bit and it works each time for me. I used to do the stamp to the card carry on until i seen Sue do it the other way around and get a perfect image. Try, what have you got to lose?
Edwina (Scotley) sorry to hear that you have been in hospital the last 8 days, i hope that now that you are at home and back with us that you will regain your strength again, but not too quickly as we don't want you landing back in there in a hurry.
Well what a glorious day we are having up here in the sunny Ochils. My hills are so beautiful on a day like this and so wonderful to gaze upon. The villages down at the bottom of the hills because they sit at their feet, they don't get the full picture of their beauty. It's one of those peaceful days as daughter has come in from nightshift so is sleeping, son is at pals house last night so picking up at 4pm and hubby has taken his mood and went back to bed so peace reigns serenely in my house at the moment, long may it last. Going to start cutting out for some more Christmas cards as my bauble dies finally arrived yesterday,ooooh their pretty so off i go to play. Sending gentle hugs to Robbie, Cheryl, Diane(withchips), young Sam and Baby Leo(the lion cub who is fighting with all his might) and to the rest of my Wilsonette friends, who without you all i don't know how i would get through some days.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

Good Morning Sue & lovely blog friends,
Beautiful snowflake card today, a very sophisticated design, I love it, the colour combination too!
Pat, Mrs B & I were discussing the pick of week launch on Friday and the similarity to some of Sue's existing designs, but the dimensions looked all wrong and they just didn't look right, I guess there will be many 'copies' but I am confident none will surpass Sue's in either design or quality it must be very frustrating as a designer though, or maybe flattering that they all want to copy!
Pat I hope you are all packed for your holiday, don't forget your books!
Sue (mrs B) I will be thinking of you tomorrow, I hope all goes well, hugs xx
Cameeli I hope you are well, maybe we can chat and catch up this week? X
Margaret, I hope you are well, I am sure your daughter will be fine, it's always very scary though starting a new job, big hugs to you xxx
Lots of love & hugs to all of you lovely ladies, including..Myra,Margaret, Linda, Lynne, Norah, Pam, Julie, Brenda, Hazel, Ann,Anne, Steph, Pat, Sue, Lynda, June, and all the rest of you too x

Good morning Sue, aqua and snowflakes seem a marriage made in heaven and I like the stamping on vellum, love from Jackie D
Really lovely in its simplicity - just goes to show that not every card needs a lot of odds and ends on it, it's just a question of knowing when to stop. Congrats to the winners!
I can't believe I won a prize!!! Thank you sooo much.
A lovely card and I even have those particular stamps.
Summer here Maine seems to coming to an end- there's a chill in the air in the mornings and it's getting dark by 7.30 pm. Still find it hard to make Thanksgiving cards when I really want to start in the Christmas cards instead.
Morning Sue and everyone,

Hi Sue, love the colours and textures of this gorgeous card. That snowflake stamp is something special!
Hugs, Belinda. X
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! I love the simplicity of this card Sue. Love the background/snow flake stamp. Love the touch of vellum too which you have used for the sentiment. I've been thinking of doing a velum themed Christmas card with a religious stamp that I have and embossing it in white. Me thinks I'd better get started soon but I am so grateful for the gorgeous creations that you inspire us with everyday. The more the merrier Sue! xx Sending love and hugs to you Sue and your family xx Pam so glad that Robbie is getting there each day. You keep going too girl....nice and steady. We know you can do it xx Sending love and hugs to baby Leo xx Breezes, Rose, I can imagine most of our crafters are saying we too are living in Chaos....our messy crafting corner! Lol! Congratulations to you and all the comment winners today! You'll love and enjoy your prizes! xx thinking of you and sending love and hugs to Edwina, Dianneandchips, Margaret, great news about your daughter and her new job! x Janet, safe journey home, Wheelybad, Lynda, Yorkielass, Lynne M, Norah, glad you're having a bit of piece and quiet x and to all our Wilsonettes who are hurting inside and out xx Take care everybody xx Love Karen xx
Nice CAS card but still stunning! I pick up a lot of techniques to use, thanks.
Hi Sue - happy sunny Sunday! This is a lovely card - would really catch your eye on the mantelpiece in spite of it's simplicity. Thanks for sharing, and congrats to all of this weeks winners! Susan x
Hi Sue. A very simple but classy looking card today, lovely. SueL x
Clean and crisp but still lovely
Wonderful colour for a seasonal card. Like a frosty morning!
A simple card but a great looking one...Snowflakes cards and projects are my favorite.
Well done Sue
Congrats to all the winners
Beautiful card Sue, love the background and the frame.
I said I wasn't going to buy the 3d bows as I didn't need them and preferred a real bow! Guess what have bought the Lattice bow so now need the classic bow to go with it. Sue you are a bad influence and I blame it all on your inspirational videos!!!!
Hi Sue
A beautiful card,I like the velum sentiment.Love all your ideas.
Yet another stunner. Like you the simplicity of it makes it. Also love the colour combo. Snowflakes are probably my favourite Xmas symbol, so will be using this one for inspiration. Thanks again for all the wonderful samples.
Hi Sue
Beautiful snowflake card love the stamp and the greeting on vellum. You have given me some great xmas card ideas thank you.

I Love this card .. :)
Love today's card Sue, will definitely be including in my Christmas options = when I get started. Making some birthday cards today for all the birthdays between now and the end of the year so that I can then change over to thinking bout Christmas! love to all and congrats to the winners Gx
Hi Sue, love the simplicity of today's card, the embossing onto vellum is so classy.
Well done to today's winners, enjoy your prizes!

Hi Sue, lovely card today and great inspiration for christmas, thank you.
Craftihappiness to everyone, from Pearl.
Lovely clean and simple card Sue. The snowflake stamp is very pretty & I love the colours. Pat x
HI Sue, Snowflakes always make wonderful cards if you have the inspiration; which you do. Family visiting so don't have a great deal of 'me time' . looking forward to tomorrow when I can indulge myself in your creative fixes. congrats to all you lucky winners. Hugs Pauline A xx
Afternoon everyone especially Sue.
Love today's CAS card, do like your double stamping idea, and I must get down and try some. I agree with Steph on how many other companies seem to be bringing out dies and such very similar to yours,but then copying is a huge form of flattery. You are the original and the best Sue.
Well I'm feeling very tired today, I think this last week especially has caught up with my ME. Margaret I wish your daughter all the best for the start of her new job tomorrow, my daughter starts at Worcester Uni in the morning the first day of her PGCE, one day she will be where your daughter is tomorrow.
Pam take it easy on your crutches, and keep that foot up,when not in use! Fab news on our Robbies 2pack;-)
Well I'm off for more rest stay well and take care everyone above and Lynne, June, Jackie. Janet, Karen, Alison, Linda, Cameeli, Norah, mrs B, Mrs Duck, Sandra, Maureen, tres, Tina, TOB, Wheely Bad, Julie and Lee, Theresa, Myra, and all I've forgotten, xxxxx
lovely card Sue. Just to let you know I tried my PEACE die and it cuts beautiful.
Hi Sue, now this is my kind of card, quick, simple and very effective. I love the colour combination. As always,thanks for sharing with us. x
How lovely! I have just found The Creative Expressions dies, and last night broke the bank buying my first grouping! This is a beautiful card!
A very pretty card with a lovely subtle and effective background.x

Hi Sue,
A classic, fresh and simple design, for a frosty festive season.
Simple but effective. Used Sues bow dies on a card yesterday - simply stunning and effective.
80s rewind festival yesterday - giving my age away. Loved it. Amazing what memories music evokes. Think rRick Astley still wearing the same navy blazer he was wearing back then.
Billy ocean gets better with age. Fab day love my 80s music. Tony Hadley in Oct can't wait!
See you tomorrow xxx
Hi Sue and everyone,today card ,and I hate saying this,but I just do not like this card.
Congrats to all the winners, Pam fantastic news about Robbie.
Ita.
Hi Sue, love the card, I love the simplicity of it, but it doesn't look simple, it looks very classy, I think I might try this myself, take care vanessa xx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card again and fairly simple but a very good one for posting! It is very elegant . Like the use of vellum - I don't use it enough.
Am just beginning to feel like myself again! Couldn't eat anything last night but had some lunch today so feeling better - will keep taking the tablets ! Lol!
Lovely day here today sunny and quite warm. Lovely blue sky but the leaves on the trees are really starting to turn.
Steph - I have thought exactly the same - re dies! However Sue's are just so elegant and classy. I don't own any of the others. Some of the others get an awful lot of air time!
Breezes - Rose - my time living in Chaos will hopefully end soon! I think it is a super name for a village! Congratulations on your win. Enjoy your goodies!
Margaret - all the very best to your daughter at the start of her new job! You must be very proud of her.
Pam - so pleased for Robbie.To keep getting good news is just great! Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Norah - I liked " team Pam at team Sue" .hope you enjoyed your peace and quiet.
Our son and daughter in law went to Canada on holiday yesterday. So pleased to get text to say they arrived safely. Isn't technology wonderful when used for good!
Tina E - hope everything went well yesterday.
Love to all, especially those who are suffering pain or sorrow.
Love to All, including Sandra, June, WheelyBad , Julie L. TOB Theresa, Lindsay, Lynne, Alison., Janet, Tres - missing you - unless I've missed your post! - hope you ok! ,Anne, Karen, Brenda L , Robbie, Sam , Rory and baby Leo. Hugs to Sue!

Hi Sue, sorry I'm late today but as Norah said, it has been a beautiful day here and I wasn't wasting it indoors. I have worked in the garden all day and can 'see where I have been' although no-one else would probably notice! I am now shattered and looking forward to a long hot bath but had to come on here first.
I love the deceptively simple look to this card. I do usually stick to the traditional Christmas colours but have to admit to having made several snowflake cards in blue so will have to give this one a go.
Congratulations to the blog prize winners, enjoy.
I'm rather glad to see it has started to rain now, good for the plants I have put in.
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy week ahead - September! time is just going so fast.
Frances
i love it! i think this will end up reproduced in some way xx
Hi everyone, I am finally online. I had been using my phone but it cost a fortune. My sister gave me a shot of a dongle so I should be okay now until I get home.
Sue this is a beautiful card, so Christmassy. Well obviously it is Christmassy, but some are more than others. This is one I will have to try once I am able.
Pam, I am no further forward. The physios dont work at weekends. I think I will be in Care Home for at least another week, hopefully not much longer.
Hope everyone else is well, happy crafting. Diane xxxx
hi sue, i love the card and the snowflake stamp, i tried this with a bauble stamp i had no snowflake, it turned out ok but i can now see how much better it could have been, your card is marvalous love to all J
Simple but very effective Sue and leaves room to add our own variations thank you. Christmas is not so very far away is it. Maybe its just as well you carry on gently encouraging us all to get cracking! May not be able to keep in touch for a couple of weeks 'cos we are going to Norway for a holiday and the internet is often not available amidst the islands and mountains but will keep trying. I really do hope I can keep on seeing all your brilliant and beautiful cards many hugs Maureen ps your blog is my daily fix!!!
ps sorry everyone,,well done to all the crafty winners J
Hi Sue,
Fabulous card and I love the colours. The stamp is gorgeous. Well done to all of the winners, enjoy your prizes.
Just a quick visit today as I'm shattered! We have decided to decorate the whole house ( probably a bad move!) stupidly I bought some " Once" paint for one of the bedrooms. I thought I would start painting today as Dave was out. What a mistake! I ended up going over bits that I thought I'd missed with the roller - I think I must have put about 4 coats on and it still looks blotchy! Finally gave up and did the coving instead and when Dave came in told him he had to finish the walls! I was as sick as a chip!dave assures me it will be fine when it dries - I have yet to be convinced. One thing is certain - I won't be buying that paint again. Give me ordinary emulsion any day. Anyway, I need my bed so I will wish everyone goodnight, hope you've had a good day and that everyone is feeling ok. Margaret, I hope your daughter enjoys her new job. Love and hugs to everyone, will see you all tomorrow. Love Alison xxx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card. Congrats to all the winners.
Much love,
Shirley T. xxxxxxxxxx
Loving this card, Sue, simple-ish (you know what I mean!) and very effective. Love the flake and the sentiment.
I'm late because I have my dearest sis-in-law who will be with me on and off til end of October so my routine will be a bit topsy turvy until then.
As you can see, this is my first chance today to check out your blog!!
Hope everyone had a lovely weekend and congrats to the winners! I know it'll be me one day!!
Hugs Annie x
I'm in the mood for Christmas cards now - it's getting chilly in the evenings! Lovely card today - love the 'ghost' image and the forked sentiment.
Clea and classic-like this card. Need to get into Christmas mode but 2 wedding cards to make first .....For my daughter and my future son in law- tricky cos her style is totally different to mine! Keep the inspiration coming Sue x Jean T
Lovely card. So elegant. Makes me want to try a bit more stamping.
Congratulations to all the winners.

Christmas is a coming, yeah, would love to see extra cards, great inspiration.
