Hi bloggers! This one is not my usual type of card, but it is a great one if you need a quick card or want to use of any leftover scraps of card. I also show you how to achieve still another look with your Delicate Daisies dies (more versatility!) It isn't too long so I hope you can take a few minutes to enjoy it.

Hello Sue, stunning card, will watch video later.
To everyone that won the dies, big congrats. So many familiar names, just great.
Julie Laz, remember what I said, you will always be Lee's beautiful bride.
Steph, have you come back to earth yet, that die is one that I bought and it is fabulous, they all are but I love the poinsettias.
A story for Norah, as a child, growing up in a mining village, money was tight, I went for tea to a friends house. When I came home my mum asked what I had eaten and I said jam sandwiches. She said I wouldn't eat jam sandwiches but I said they were posh jam sandwiches as they had coconut on them. Still didn't eat jam sandwiches at home though .
Hugs to all, good luck to Mary Blight for today, Dianeandchips, behave yourself or you may not get out of "care" this week.
Good Morning Sue
Lovely card today. Not your usual so surprised but as you say nice and quick for that unexpected occasion.

Oh, I was not expecting this kind of creation from you Sue but I gotta say
that I totally love it. Simplicity is fabulous and colors (or lack of them)
work very well. Beautiful and fits for so many different occasions.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Eemeli
Light and delicate today, lovely.

Sue. Today's card is simple but lovely - right up my street as they would say. Hazel xx
very different type of card but it's lovely
Hello Sue,
This card is really lovely. The type of card that comes out of my head. Lol.
Love, Roz.x
Morning Sue.
Thank you beautiful card, I love the simplicity of it. The video is very good too.Another one for any occasion. Many congrats to all the winners yesterday. Take care Kitty.
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, oh what a lovely quick card to make today, I have not tried that form of distressing so will definitely have a go. Aqua is one of my favourite colours so this card is right up my street and the black twine really looks elegant on it, then when I saw what you were doing to those lovely petals I thought 'oh no' until I saw the outcome and what a relief it looked so good, another one of those must try examples. Congratulations again to all the winners of the Christmas dies, I know you will all enjoy them. Have a great day today, stay safe, healthy and happy. June Smith xxx
Lovely simple card in great colours, the flower is beautiful, one to keep in mind for all occasions.
Congratulations to all the winners too
Muriel x
Definitely my type of card, though! Will 'video' later.
Hi Sue,
I Love All Your Creations I Must Say I Don't Make Distressed Cards As I'm Not That Good At Them They Always Look A Mess When I Do Them! But This Is Fabulous I Love The Colours You've Used The Coconut White, The Fabulous Aqua And The Striking Black To Set It Off.
I Always Worry About Tearing Card I Know That Sounds Silly But I Don't Wish To Mess My Card Up, I Love The Snowcap Ink You Used Through Your Large Polka Dot Mask, When Using On Your Aqua Card.
Then I Love That You Used Again On Your White Card But This Time Using Aqua Ink, I Just Loved How You Created Your Flower From Your Finishing Touches Range I Just Adore These Flowers And I Love All The Fabulous Ways How You Share With Us Your Tips And Techniques To Get The Best From Our Dies.
Sue Thank You For A Fantastic Video, Fantastic Card, Thank You For Sharing, Thank You For You Kindness.
Sue On A Personal Note: Thank You For The Inspiration You Bring Each Day I Really Appreciate It Thank You So Very Much.
Sue Take Great Care
Love And Hugs

Good morning Sue and all the crafty crew!! What a pretty card, and the delicate daisy is just to "Die for" pardon the pun!! LOL.
Well its a grey start to the week, but I had a great time on the allotment on Sunday, to blow away the cobwebs and get back on track.
Have a nice day everyone.

How lovely is this card? Stunning in its clean lines and simplicity xx
love the randomness & crisp clean look, hugs, Vick xx
Hi Sue, lovely card, very effective with the distressed edges. Great use of the daisy dies, shows how versatile they are. Bx
Yes, Sue, very different from you today and have to say - just love it! The aqua such a gentle colour and the black twine really defines the whole design. Really like those flower dies - more to wish for. Thanks for a great video.
Again, well done to all the winners including our Jan in Wales.

Hi Sue
This card might not be a usual 'Sue' card but I like it a lot, will watch later as I have an appointment with the Orthopaedics today to see what they can do to help with the arthritis in my thumbs as the injections are not lasting.
I did not get card done yesterday as we had visitors so as soon as I get back from hospital I must get it done.
Sending belated happy anniversary wishes to Julie and Lee you have one lovely man, happy birthday to anyone with birthdays today.
Gentle hugs to baby Leo and to all I send love and big hugs.
Congratulations to the christmas die winners I wonder how long it will take Steph to come down from cloud nine it was lovely to see some regulars in the winners have fun playing ladies. Love and hugs
Happy crafting

Good morning Sue
I thoroughly enjoyed today's video it made me smile because when I first started card making I struggled to offset my layers. My mind kept telling me to keep them uniform I don't have that problem any more lol. I love what you did with the open flower die pure genius. Although a simple card to make it looks as if it took ages to do.

Hi sue, today's card is different form your usual ones but is still very pretty. Love especially the tattered background papers. Very unique. Thanks for the inspiration.
Morning Sue. I really like this one. Its nice sometimes to do something a bit different. A nice easy one. Will watch later when I have some peace and quiet. Too many grandchildren here at the moment. Thanks again for sharing. Hugs Heather.x
Lovely card-as you say, quite a different style but very nice. Could be used for any occasion.
Michele.
Hi Sue I would just like to say thanks again for the wonderful opportunity to win a beautiful die from the festive range. Also to all the lovely ladies who offered congratulations. It all means so much to me. The Joy die is stunning and I will so enjoy using it.
Today's card is lovely , the colours are pretty as is the daisy. I am off to watch the video x
morning Sue
Now you have definitely taken me out of my comfort zone!
Distressing/scrunching paper and cutting into flower dies really had me on the edge of my seat.
I do have to say though that the finished gift is beautiful and looks so simple and clean and would suit one of the 'modern day' girls.
I shall have to take a deep breathe before having a go at today's gift and then remember to breath while doing it.
We have another very dull and rainy morning here so today I'm going to play with my new Christmas dies which arrived yesterday from JS before I have to start sorting out my crafting boxes/cards which have to travel back with me on Sunday.
Once again congratulations to all the very lucky winners. The dies look gorgeous.
Hope everyone is feeling a little better today. Keep warm and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Hi Sue .. This is diffrent for you but very nice .. Have a great day hugs .. x
Lovely card... Colours my fav..
Beautiful, I love dots and I love daisies so this simple looking card is right up my street!
Well done to all the very lucky Christmas die winners. I guess we know what you will be using on your Christmas cards this year,lol.
Sue this may not be your usual style but it is equally as fantastic as everything else you make.
Pam I think they will be kicking me out before the weekend, they are more used to older people who dont question what they do. Not me I'm afraid!!! lol.
Happy crafting everyone xxx
Very nice card.

Pat x
A different style of card but one I definitely like xxx
Hi Sue
A lovely simple card today. I have never been a fan of distressed edges or putting things on cards at a 'wonky' angle. I think it is the OCD in me, but I must say I really like this one, thank you.
Congratulations to everyone who won dies yesterday. I am lucky to have a few of them now and they are all wonderful.
A very grey day here, it rained all day and all night, we worried about flooding, but luckily everything looks ok..phew!
Have a good day everyone.
Love and hugs

Hi Sue. Wow a different style of card from you today and I love it. Simple and beautiful :-) Sorry I've no time to watch video - going down to Dorset with my son and parents. Very poor internet reception where we stay so I won't be able to comment again this week (unless of course the weathers really bad and we come home early!) Anyway have a great week and hugs to all xxx
Hi Sue,
Unusual card for you but still pretty.
Congrats to all the winners yesterday. So glad I recognized a lot of the names. Well done.

Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Lovely card and the colours are light and pretty.
Love the card sue I bet you had fun doing this one love it thank you love to all xxxxx. June x
Hi Sue
A very different card from you today. It's a more laid back style. Very simple but it works. The black twine really sets it off. Will watch the video later but ax it's raining I might be able to catch up with these at last. Plenty if sorting to do before we go away. Making sure that the shorts etc still fit, as I seem to have spread a little bit this year. Good job most of my stuff has elastic acted waists.
Congratulations to all the winners of the Christmas Dies. Good to see some regulars have won. Steph are you down from cloud nine yet. I'm glad your feeling better today Cameeli. Hugs to Pam and Robbie as usual. Norah, I assume your hills are covered in cloud today, I don't know though, Scotand is supposed to be better than down. South, so they might be ok today.
Special hugs to Mrs B and Sandra, and hugs to anyone else in need of one today.
Love this card Sue. The idea for the centre of the flower makes such a difference. Gorgeous. Thank you. Xx
Good morning Sue and Wilsonettes,
Sorry Sue, this card is just not me today but i do like your daisy as it's pretty. I can't do distressed as it looks tatty and i just want to tidy and neaten it up and as for wonky, crikey i just have to get straight. It's taken me years to cope with things being off centre or not matching, i even have to measure out the distance between so that they are all central. I blame mum as she has a thing about straight and even and can tell at 100 paces if something is squint, so has to go and straighten it.
Wishing you well for today Mary, sending a wee hug to keep you going.
Diane(withchips)you're not supposed to do as much damage as you did to yourself, leave it to the young ones who bounce better. I hope you get home so very soon flower as it can be such a long day in these places. Sending you a healing hug.
Oh Pam, even the Ritz doesn't make expensive sandwiches as those. Just how posh was this friend? I have never heard of jam with coconut on the top sandwiches. I must admit to having a taste for jam pieces or butter ones even now. Rory regularly takes just a buttered piece to school as that is his favourite. Another goody is rice pudding with a dollop of jam, mmmhhh. I sometimes think that i still remain childlike all these years on or maybe it is just what you get used to as a child. Mum used to make bread and butter pudding with sultanas in it if she didn't have anything for our lunch and no i don't feel like i had a deprived childhood as i think we learned how to eek out what we had, the birds stood no chance with stale bread because of the pudding. I think it would do a lot of good if people nowadays had a taste of what making do and using up all the food that they have instead of it going in the bin.
Well girls, my boy had a great time at college yesterday. He is doing art and engineering as there wasn't any space left in the computer programming that he was supposed to be in. He came home bouncing yesterday which is the first time in i don't know how long that i have seen him so happy which cheered me up from my hair raising day. As i said i was going to meet my friend yesterday and we were at the furthest point in the Thistle centre we could get when all these alarms stated going off and doors closing, shutters coming down and everyone to leave the building. Well i thought i had left the panick stricken Norah behind somewhere years ago, but yesterday she found me again. I am not sure how much hair i left in my wake as i am trying to get out and these stupid people are sauntering in front trapping me. I couldn't breathe, had the pins and needles in my face, hands, legs and feet, i was absolutely terrified. When we got outside my friend is trying to calm me down but i was still in that far away place that i go to when like that and can hear no one. She took me to one of the outside cafes for coffee and brought me chocolate(which at any other time i would steer clear off). When the all clear came about 20-30 mins later trying to get myself back in was a trial i can tell you and it was even worse when my friend left me because her and daughter were parked in the other car park, trying to go through Debenhams to get to the lifts to take me and scooter back to Shop mobility. I think it will be a time before i venture back to Stirling, in fact i think it will be a while before i can go out the door again never mind everything else.
I shall go and leave you all now, sending gentle hugs to Robbie and baby Leo and hugs to my Wilsonette family of friends. Thank you everyone of you that wished Rory well because i showed him to which he couldn't understand how everyone knew about him.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (a cold Glenochil)
Hello Sue, This card is gorgeous, weird or what I bought these dies last night!! Auqua is a favourite colour of mine and love the subtle dots and twine. Thank you for your generosity and inspiration. Enjoy the ret of your day and hugs to your Mom.

Morning Sue, a lovely card. Will get to watch video later.
Hi Sue. Hello again Wilsonettes. May I thank all those lovely ladies that left such heart warming messages yesterday, im still 'floating' and thanking my lucky star's as its so unusual for my name to get picked randomly like that especially when there are another 300+ names that could have been chosen, so yes, lady luck was on my side this time !
As for today's card - such a different style we are use to seeing from you Sue, saying that, I adore the delicate aqua and have some on order via mine and Barbies little 'haven' I think I can count on one hand how many times Ive seen you distress card Sue ( I seem to continually STRESS my card out) !! I need the Sue touch and you are welcome to come anytime to distress my card lol - I make a mean latte : )
Maybe after the next market I can put this weeks 'takings' to any I make next time and buy one of the new daisy dies, now that's an insentive if you like.
Im certain Maggie without a bow will love this - for obvious reasons, but your pretty daisy sets the card off beautifully along with the subtle hint of black.
Hope you had a lovely day Julie and Lee, you both deserve the best.
To all my lovely friends I wish you strength today, tomorrow and always.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue
A lovely card today. I love the colour combination and the flower is gorgeous. Thank you.
Congratulations to all the winners from yesterday.
Bye for now.
SandraP xxx
Morning Sue, not your usual kind of card, but I really like it. Less is more sometimes, especially when you are in a hurry. I quite like putting layers on squint a change from everything being regimental.
I was one of the lucky winners yesterday, can't wait to receive my die, well done everyone else who won.
Take care, Jess x
I love the simplicity of this one
Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card today, I love the nice clean, fresh look. I shall definitely pin this one.
Carole N x
Hello Sue. A. Very different card today, love the daisy. Congratulations to all the winners. x
Luv it - so different from your norm but still gorgeous xx GailT xx
It´s really different, but not less beautiful, and we all have loads of leftovers, so it´s always nice to see new ways to use these up too, and this card is sooo beautiful. I sure like it a lot.
Good morning Sue, wasn't sure about this looking at the picture but the video explained it all so well. Like the way you cut down the open daisies, gives a completely different look. Love from Jackie D
Hi Sue pretty card

Hi Sue,

Lovely card. Take care. Claire
Hi Sue,
Such a different card from you today but I really like it! It is so good to have a quick and easy card and but not easy to find such a lovely one as this! I love what you did to the flower die too - I shall be trying that. Your dies are so versatile. I'm not usually someone who likes the distressed look but this is "controlled distress" . If you know what I mean. Love the colours too.
First of all - Mary Blight - hope things go well today - I'm just catching up. Thinking of you.
Norah - what a horrid experience yesterday for you! It brought a tear to my eye thinking of you being so upset. These large shopping centres are lovely until something like that happens. Hope you feel able to go out again soon. Really pleased for Robbie! Thrilled for you. Hope he continues to enjoy college. Sending you a comforting hug today.
Anne - lovely golfing weather here too - but we don't have your marvellous scenery! Enjoy your day.
DianeandChips - keep asking the questions! Hope you get home very soon.
TOB - Theresa - hope you a bit better today too.
Thanks everyone for your kind words - what a super blog! What a Super Sue!
Steph - been watching for you going by on cloud 9, do drop in - I know you drink coffee. Lol.
Sending love to Pam, Maria, Janet, Alson. Tres, Baby Leo , Robbie, Sheila, Brenda L, Lynne, Lindsay, Lynda, Margaret, Julie, Sandra, Heather T , and anyone I've forgotten
Love Myra
Ps - sorry in my message to Norah - it should have said - really pleased for Rory! Senior moment! X
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies, from a bright but breezy Newcastle.
Sue, I love this card, and I agree with Heather T, great idea to clip the open flower to change it, who would have thought of that - well obviously Sue!!
I also agree with Norah, in that I find it extremely difficult to "do" wonky or distressed (It may have something to do with being a Virgo,) but this is so beautiful, I'm going to give it a go.
Hope everyone has as good a day as they can, and best wishes to all, and to Yorkielass June, Alimecca Alison, Lynda, Julie Laz & Lee and Norah and Rory AND of course you Sue xx. (I apologise for those I've missed)
P.s. Norah, hope you've managed to calm down and soon feel able to venture out again x.
Norah, I am so sorry that your little trip ended up in disaster. Please don't let this trap you back in the house, you can get over this, maybe try somewhere smaller next time. These shopping centres can be so intimidating, we have Metro Centre at Gateshead, so happy that Rory had a good time at college, this may broaden his horizons.
Tina, hope hospital with Auntie gives you a positive result.
Ita, hope you are doing okay too.
Giant hugs for all who need them, I do.
Hi Sue, enjoyed the video and the card is lovely too. Congrats to al the lucky winners.
June Smith if you email me smortimer195@gmail.com will give you the address for the large and small stick pins.
Have a good day everyone. Susi x

GA Sue - rather later than normal today! Love this card - and love that flower - was lucky enough to spy these dies in Sams 40% off mega sale and they just seemed to fall into my basket somehow - cant wait to play with them and snip those rounded ends off!
DIY all done - thank goodness - TV back in action - was quite a weekend but will look good when the curtains are up hopefully. Off to catch up on all the housework so I can do some crafting tomorrow hopefully.

not your usual did you say sue,its lovely if i had done something like this i would be made up at the effect this one has, i have been on baby minding duties this morning so i will now watch the video but i bet it will be up to your excellent performance, love to all J
Oh I do love this style. Fresh, clean, pretty and beautiful. Could easily scale it down too for a smaller card as such a versatile design. More like this please.
Hello Sue,
I to am not sure about distress - but having said that you do elegant distress. This card is really lovely, I think your secret is your choice of colour. Love the flower, definitely going to give this one try.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Norah, Sending you a gentle hug. Please don't let yesterday's experience put you off going to the shopping centre, I really felt for you. So pleased Robbie enjoyed his day at college, what a big step for him. LOL
Hope all our winners are all enjoying their moment. When I won a die in the previous draw it took me days to come down from the clouds. My Dies arrived a couple of days later and I couldn't stop looking at them, they are so gorgeous and even now can't believe how lucky I was........I AM SO PLEASED FOR YOU ALL
hi Sue, Better late than never, just arrived home from Cartmell, had a great day in the hospitality room at thr race course ( A once a year treat:), Hav'nt got a clue about the betting but had a lot of fun. The horses are absolutely magnificent, so beautiful. Back home to reality now and to finish the DIY. Shelter are coming to pick up the suite today, then the carpet and new suite should arrive tomorrow, just the curtains to alter and put up and Bob's your uncle, finished, then I can get back into my hobby room again:) Just going to have a cup of tea and watch the video, have just bought this die and waiting for it to arrive, so will be attempting to distress, never tried it before! so regards to all, have a great day. Linda.
Hi Sue, Using a distressed technique without losing any of its elegance. Gorgeous card, and would look good for a Christmas quickie by changing the daisy for a poinsettia flower.. Hugs Pauline A xx
I wouldn't call the card simple, exactly. Perhaps simpler. LOL. Very pretty and effective.
Hi Sue, what a beautiful simple card today.
congratulations to all the winners of the dies....Yvonne xxx
Lovely card today Sue, love the torn edges.

Norah big hugs so sorry you had such a bad experience yesterday, thank goodness for your lovely lad Rory there to cheer you up when he go home, so glad he enjoyed his first day back especially as it wasn't the course he first wanted.
Cameeli glad to read you being more your normal self.
Steph, I'm still up on that cloud being so happy for you, my comment yesterday was heart felt and meant.
Pam big hugs to you and Robbie.
June hope all is well with you.
Jackie, I need time to play with my new dies but not sure when it will happen as I have a busy week this week at the end of the summer holidays I always throw a gymkhana type event here for all my clients, a whole day with the horses, and I get so tired doing it but the kids all love it!
Big hugs to all my friends on here, Lynne, Linda, Myra, Tres, Tina, TOB, Margaret, Karen, Alison, Julie and Lee, Wheely Bad, mrs B, Mrs Duck, Dianeandchips, and all those I have forgotten for the moment xxx

Love simple cards but have to admit not into the distressed look personally, however your card was very pretty.
Congrats to all the winners yesterday!!!
Hi Sue, I really LOVE this card. It shows that less really can be more. It's just perfect. As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
I love the card and the torn edges, you have made it look so pretty.
I bet if I tried to make it mine would look a right mess lol
Good afternoon Sue,
Whilst I agree that it's a very clean, simple, fresh looking card please don't hate me when I say that sadly I'm not into distressing paper and that sadly this one's not for me. Thanks for sharing it though and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
Margae A.
Really pretty quick cards are so useful, I love it.

Hello Sue and everyone
I am still up in the air after seeing my name listed, we have no clouds today just bright sunshine and the corgis are with me wondering what is happening, just cannot believe how lucky I have been, delighted for all the other winners too.
Todays card is wonderfully refreshing and to those who don't like distressing, come girls it still looks good with clean cut edges I have tried it, so why not give it a go I am sure you will not be disappointed.
Oh Norah I have been to the Thistle Centre and although it is good, I always feel funny(but not in a fun way)in there and am always pleased to be out in the fresh air after a visit. Please don't let it get the better of you. So delighted that Rory had a brilliant day bless him.
Cameeli you are getting there, so pleased your allotment visit helped.
Julie I do hope you and Lee had a lovely day yesterday, it is the least you deserve. You are never sent a cross that you cannot bear although some are heavy.
Thank you everyone for all your very kind comments not just for me but everyone who were lucky in the draw yesterday.
Hugs to those who need one especially Norah, Pam, Cameeli, Yorkielass, Lindsay, Lynne, Steph, Sandra, Tina, Lynda and Sue

Hi Sue Beautiful clean and simple card today very refreshing and makes us all think outside the box. I love how you have adapted the flower the middle is so pretty. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us. Hope you have a great evening love Diane G xxx
Beautiful day again today in Aberdeen and today we have been on the university tour- feet are very tired but we are all happy with what we have seen so this one is going top of the list at the moment. So far from home but mums have to let their children fly one day in the hope they will come home when they are ready! Xxx
Hi Sue and everyone! What a lovely card today,clean and simple looking.Love to see some more like it,sometimes the more tricky cards are a bit much for my mushy brain.
Norah-sorry to hear of your distressing outing,they can give you panic attacks at any time .Hug to you. To our ladies who are in hospital and having treatments at the moment,take care and hugs.
I'm off to London tomorrow for a couple of days seeing my half-brother for the very first time, excited and nervous at the same time :-) To all my Wilsonette friends and Sue Hugs all around !
Take care Maria x
Hi Sue. Today's video is, as always, just fab !! Today's card is beautiful !! It is not like any of your usual style of cards but I love it !! So clean and fresh looking and a bit shabby chic to !! I really love the coconut white and aqua colours you have used. I love the large polka dot mask and your new daisy dies look great. I love the way you have made the smaller outline daisy die by trimming it all the way around giving it a completely different look and then using for the centre of the large Daisy. Such a simple thing to do but I know I would never have thought of it myself !! A lovely quick, simple and elegant card. A great standby as an emergency card for any occasion. Just change the sentiment. Thank you Sue for another lovely video and card today. Wishing you and your family lots of love from Tres x
I hope all the wonderful Wilsonettes had a good day today. Wishing you all lots of love from Tres x x x
Good evening Sue and all - I'm not sure what happened today but I watched the video this morning and then - well here I am. This card is just so up my street. Sue you say simple but I know mine would never look as elegant and chic as yours. The card is 'simply' beautiful.
Congrats to all the lucky winners - I have some of the Christmas dies and I think I must start on the dreaded cards.
I hope that everyone had a good day despite the weather here in Bristol. My dog Ozzie just would not go for a walk today (I love him) I didn't want to go out either. Take care all. Helen K xx
Ooh - love that card! Very different and very pretty.

Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! I've so loved watching the video Sue. I know it is different to what you usually make but I love the simplicity of this gorgeous card. I don't have the open petals but I've loved how you have shown the different effect by snipping the ends off. I love this distressed ragged look and the colours just look great together xx "Thank you Sue for all the inspiration that you give us. Sending love and hugs to you and your family xx Also sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who need one today (and tomorrow!) xx Julie and Lee, "Happy belated anniversary!" You have both found your soul mate in each other and that is something so special xx Norah, sending lots of gentle hugs to you after your ordeal in Stirling. Sometimes people don't think do they? I'm not so sure about the jam and coconut sandwiches Pam, but we did have bread n dripping! Ooooo and one of my dads favourites, jam and cheese! yummy! In fact I had it on crackers for the time in 8 years last night! My wonderful husband has found a dairy free cheese and it's smoked cheese.....mmmmmm! xx Maria, just to say from the "hair" ordeal, I love red hair. I've always thought that it's gorgeous! I hope you have a wonderful time in London with your half brother tomorrow. I understand how you feel. I met up with my biological siblings in 2003......3 brothers and 2 sisters! It closed the missing part of me that I felt and you'll be fine xx Just to say take care everyone! xx Love Karen xx
Hi Sue
I love this card it's so fresh looking. I really like the flower.

Hi Sue, lovely fresh, simple card. Love it! Gx
Really really like this one! I watched the video on creative expressions the other day and loved the way you demonstrated your distressing technique .

Belated Anniversary Wishes, Julie and Lee. Hope you had a fabulous day yesterday xx

Ooh Sue, I really love this card...everything about it is stunning! Hugs Carole Z X
Watched the video today (weds) and it is certainly a quick and easy car to do. I like the colours too -it's make anyone want to get well. The videos certainly make it so easy to reproduce your cards, even though I still prefer written instructions as they are much easier to refer to mid-make!!
Hugs Janet in Kent
Well I think this one is very pretty. Lovely colours and I like the distressed edges.
Hi sue, I missed this card, how could I , what a beautiful one, been waiting for some cards with the daisies on them for some idea crafty hugs Julie xx
Morning Sue,
Such a beautiful simple looking card and I love the touch of shabbyness and the colours are gorgrous and and what a pretty daisy!.
Love and hugs to all that need them hope you days get better and brighter very soon
Sheila xx
This card is not quite my cup of tea as I don't like torn edges on things, but then we cannot all be the same and it is nice to see something different.
Looks so simple, but is so beautiful!
I have the original Grand Calibur, Please can you tell me how to remove the white feeder plate so I can use the A4 embossing folders. Thank you
Pearl.
