Hello crafters! I just love this Bevelled Glass striplet die and I think you will too once you see it in action. It makes a gorgeous background for a quick card, but still gives you an elegance that makes it look like you spent absolutely hours on it! I'll never tell!

Hello Sue and everyone, such a beautiful card today. Your daily inspiration is amazing. Love that flower.
TOB Theresa, good luck to your daughter, she deserves it after all that work.
Norah, you bring back so many memories with your tales. I too remember when we got our first TV as we had previously had to watch The Lone Ranger at a neighbours house. She was my Nana's friend, used to bake for the street, hated washing up and my brother George and I used to do that for her before watching TV, happy carefree days!
Welcome back Jenny, hope your back is better now.
Love and hugs all round.
Really nice die - lots of possibilities

I am in awe of you once again, lovely card Sue. x
Good morning Sue and everyone. It's so fantastic to have your videos back and yet another unusual and inspirational way to use your dies.
Sorry, I forgot to say that I hope all exam results were what was hoped for. Good luck to your daughter, TOB Theresa. Good wishes to all. Sue xxx

Hi Sue
I don't have this die yet but I do have the other 3 so I can see a re gig of my wish list good job christmas is coming so when asked I will have a very long list to hand out .
I will try and watch video on phone fingers crossed I will get to see it all in one go.
I have everything crossed for your daughter Theresa she has done very well and is a credit to you.
I think I missed a birthday yesterday and grey cells not awake so the name escapes me but I hope you had a lovely day.
Shopping day with Mum today could be a cheaper bill as youngest daughter is at her sisters.
Norah I might have a go at the star card I made one for my daughter a few years ago as when I asked her what she wanted I made the card and she would then say she wanted something else so she ended up with a 7 card star card with everything she asked for so if thumbs play nice I might try another one, I love all the things you remember when I tell my children of the things I watched as I was about 5 when we got our first tv and I loved Andy Pandy and have a video that is in colour, Bill and Ben
The Wombles and hiding behind the sofa when Dr Who came on
The sun is trying to come out so hoping for a better day than yesterday, 4 of my grandchildren had coloured the patio bricks in lovely colours on Tuesday and it all washed away with the rain.
Gentle hugs for baby Leo and his family Pam hugs for you and your family and your brother can take lots of love and hugs from all the Wilsonettes to Robbie.
Love and hugs to all the Wilsonettes
Happy crafting
Love Tina. X x x

Lovely card today-this is why I purchased that die.

Hi Sue,
Awesome Video, I have The Bevelled Striplet Die and it's Beautiful and as with all your Dies it Cuts perfectly.
The Striplet Die has a Beautiful Pattern, I Loved how you cut four pieces out of your card, then added it to the fabulous sticky sheet and then you added another Favourite Product of mine The Creative Expression Gilding Flakes and you now have so many Stunning Colours to choose from, it's hard to say which is a Favourite Colour, they looked Stunning by the time you'd burnished them onto your Card, that just on it's own would make an Awesome Card, but you added a Fabulous Mat/Lay in Black and White and the Fabulous Black Cosmic Shimmer PVA Glue Dots yours always look perfect, and Then The Truly Beautiful Rose you made from The Rust Satin Ribbon The Flower Looked Amazing adding some of your New Curly Leaves.
Your Dies are Fabulous and each time you share Truly Fantastic Tips and Techniques on how to get the most from them.
Sue Thank You for The Tremendous Video Great Techniques, Thank You for The Daily Blog, Thank You For Your Outstanding Creations I Love To Open Your Blog To Check Out The Beautiful Cards.
Sue Yes I'm going to say it once more From Me Thank You For All The Inspiration You Give To Me each and every day I so Appreciate It.
Sue Take Great Care
Love and Hugs

Pretty top today, Sue, you look great.
Heather T - used your Calypso flakes yet??
'P' in Wales
Hello sue
Lovely card, love this technique I tried it the last time you showcased it angxx
Nice card Sue .... Happy crafting ...x
Morning Sue
I adore this card - when I first saw it when you released these dies I thought it was Amazing!
Sorry but the bevelled glass die has to go on my birthday wish list for next month with, of course, some calypso gliding flakes. Would love to have a go at this card!
Enjoy your day everyone.
Sheila x
GM Sue - fab card - love that die with the gilding flakes - it's a must try!
Have managed to misplace my ebosser instructions somewhere in my super organised craft room! Know theyre here somewhere - think I must have put them in a 'safe place' - so safe even I cant find them! sooo frustrating when that happens - so I'll be looking for that today -

Morning Sue. Another Sue Wilson stunner. I love this technique. I have tried it a few times but not yet with the striplets. I have a couple but not this one but will give it a try anyway. Thanks Sue. Hugs Heather.x
Beautiful! xxx
Gorgeous card, very elegant and regal x
Hi Sue
I have just watched the video I don't have the flakes but I have done something simlar with glitter I put a mix of glitters and it looked lovely x
I will try the flower could be tricky with my thumbs so usually my flowers are made from dies or bought ones I will let you know how I get on.
Big hugs for all
Love Tina x x x
Morning Sue,
Great video yet agin, love the card. I don't have that striplets yet bunting do have a couple of the others that I might give it a go with.
Got the G. Children coming today so I will be doing craft on a different level today Loom Bands, I love them just as much as them.
Hugs for all in need.
Gail Cx
Stunning Sue what else can I say, loved the video too.
Hugs to all
Michelle xxxx
Love the card especially the flower the colour is georgeous. Would be lovely done in different colour gilding flakes.
morning Sue
OOH gilding flakes galore!! I think that this morning's die is the best in the striplet family. I just love the way you can get a full stained glass window effect which is just glorious. Will definitely be saving this one - as though I don't save all but this one in particular- because yes again I have just added another need to my wish list.
Sandra - I know you'll probably not see this but take care today/tomorrow and arrive safe and sound. It's just the same in our house re remembering to order extra prescriptions and then packing them into a single/s bags incase customs find them but most of all remembering to take what's left back with us as we both set out our weekly intake in one of those boxes so the bags are only seen once a week. ENJOY your hols you more than deserve them.
Maria - no I don't live in France but spend six months there as we have a little house in Burgundy.
Hope everyone is feeling OK today and for those who are feeling a little fragile please take care of yourselves.
See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Lovely card Sue, will watch video this afternoon.
Love that flower too!

Good Morning a Sue & friends,
That striplet die is gorgeous, what a fabulous, almost Art Deco background, a good one for mens card with geometric lines! Lovely, lovely card! Sue you are spoiling us with these amazing Videos, thank you so much! Xxx
Well ladies most of the packing is done, just the last few bits and pieces and 'the picnic'of course ! Not sure what too pack, usually some sort of egg mayo & crispy bacon rolls to be eaten chilled for breakfast, plenty of snacks to keep them all happy, particularly the driver, we are getting a midnight ferry, so will have to leave home no later than six tonight in case of hold ups on the motorway past Heathrow. And Gatwick!
Fingers crossed for a quiet run, also we want to have time to get petrol at Dover as petrol on Motorway through France is So expensive!
Margaret, thanks for the lovely messagert the girls are having a go at packing their cases themselves, we will see how eventful that will make the holiday! They also have their 'overnight' bags to pack for the stay over in Millau, France! I hope to have internet there so can hopefully update you!
Thanks again for your kind words, they mean the world to me Margaret!
Cameeli, hoping to see your return to the Blog today after your trip home, I know it's daft but is lovely to have you back! Can't wait to meet you very soon!
Pat & Sue I will message you if I have the chance, mostly will probable be at Hotels en route, as the internet at the campsite is super expensive, we do occasionally pay for an odd day, mainly for birthdays etc, as we have three family birthdays, mine, Paul's, & my eldest Matt! So it's a busy month! Good excuse for fresh croissants and lovely pastries though! Yummy and for the first time in the last four years or so I won't be struggling with chronic acid reflux/indigestion!
No doubt we will come home a few pounds heavier, although we eat more fruit than anything to be honest and salads, breakfast is the naughty meal, with baked goods hot from the on site bakery!
As I am writing this message I keep having those "oops must not forget" moments, pillows, that was the last one, I must have slight 'OCD' tendencies as I cannot put my head on any pillow other tha my own, or Paul's of course, I take my own pillow everywhere, travel, hotels, everywhere, I once looked inside a pillow case at an overnight stop once, oh my goodness! The actual pillow was in a beautiful crisp white case, perfectly clean, but inside the pillow was a browny/orange colour, covered in sweat and dribble stains! I almost vomited, it was so terrible and that hotel was four stars! Yuck! Makes me feel I'll just thinking about it! That's one of many examples! Public loo's are another, consequently I have the constitution of a Camel! (I can go all day without going) !
Anyway I will leave you lovely, kind , caring, warm & friendly ladies, I will miss your daily chat, I will check in when I can, missing you already,
Big,big hugs
Sandra xxxxxxx
Lovely card, colours are autumnal and beautiful but not thinking of that yet! I have the heart striplet and it is beautiful and far bigger than you think.
Norah, I remember all those programmes particularly play school and I loved the wombles! I intend to get a basket for the bike to complete the image! Went for another ride with Tilly and her friend last night and not fallen off yet!
Gail, my Hoover is testament to the loom band craze the things get everywhere!
Love to all especially those who struggle xxx
Love the art deco feel of this brilliant die, perfect for a gilded background
Hi Sue,
I really love this card. The striplet dies are so useful and I need to get this one. It just reminds me of a beautiful stained glass window in a cathedral. Will watch the video later when I've fully woken up! Thanks for the inspiration.
Clare W - log on to Craftwell.com and download an e Bosser manual and save it to your computer, then you've always got it. Since I got my eBosser they've added extra instructions, so it's quite useful to have the latest edition.
Pam hope you're ok and hope your brother is starting to open up. Hugs to you both and to Robbie of course. Theresa, good luck to your daughter and to everyone getting results. Julie, hope you're ok. Lynne hope fur babies behave themselves today ( not much chance me thinks!!) Lindsay hope everything is ok with you and the animals. Has the stallion fully recovered now and how is the small foal that was so poorly? Steph, Norah, special hugs to you two. Gail hope you're ok. To everyone on this lovely blog, have a great day and sending you all love and hugs. Love Alison xxx
OH WOW,
AWESOME - I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.
Everything, shall watch the video a bit later.
Thank you Sue, this is joining my all-time favourites.
Hugs, Rose
Good Morning Sue. Love all the Striplet dies. They are so versatile. Beautiful card and video today. THanks.

Hi Sue, yummy card today. Love the gilding flakes used with a striplet die. The ribbon rose adds the perfect finishing touch. Lol lynne m x x x
Took fur babies out this morning at 5:30am for another walk in the forest before hubby goes to work. As the road closed leading to our usual spot we went to another area. Oh dear!!!! poochies not happy at all as no rabbits or birds to chase so 2 divas now sulking. Hoping they will go to sleep for awhile as I'm not sure my body can keep up with these early morning starts without a couple of hours sleep now.
Lol and massive hugs to:-

Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
How beautiful if this? I have used your trick of putting the main feature on the sticky sheet and then gilding (as shown in ann earlier video), saving so much gilding flakes and it always looks so good, thank you.
I hope everyone has as good a day as possible, and those travelling get there safe and sound. xx
Hi sue
Love this card, must have a go and use my gilding flakes today.
Ginnie
Good morning Sue and everyone.
Already have this die living nicely alongside my favourite embroidered Striplet.
It was seeing this terrific card on your sneak peak that made me buy the die.
Have a great day.
Ang x
P.s. Took my daughter to see Tom Baker (Dr Who) when he visited Newcastle in the 70's. He was lovely.
Fantastic I love this die and is at the top of my Need List It looks great and can be so useful - ladies gents weddings Christmas... The list goes on
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I love the die and it is one I actually own so I will be having a go at this technique. I have made a lot of Christmas cards lately and I feel like doing something a bit different today. Have a great day. Hugs Jackie

Beverley W
Stunning. Love the stained glass effect and the very pretty rose. Great ideas for future projects.
Didn't think I would like this die til I saw what you did with it, amazing, love it
Hi Sue
Another stunning card today. The strip let looks gorgeous, lovely for men as they are so hard to cater for. Must try and get to Lyndhurst while we are in Bournemouth. Might be tomorrow as it's going to be nice today and we are off to Corfe Castle, we might even make Swanage.
Didn't know it was your birthday Sandra, I do hope you have a lovely one over in France. Good luck with the girls doing their own packing. I remember Dr. Who. Tina, I to hid behind the sofa. Mind you the new series's
Look more frightening that the ones I remember watching.
Glad you returned safely Cameeli, I bet you had a wonderful time and look forward to hearing all about it.
Hugs to Pam and Robbie as usual, also to Steph and Norah. Hugs to all in need of a hug today as well.
Hello Sue, very elegant and lovely, the way you have used the die is great. Need to add it to my wish list. Have a lovely day. Bx
Hi Sue wow this one is a stunner!!! This really shows the die off Sue its fabulous. I have tried this with a couple of the California dies in cream but the black really makes a statement. I have mastered the paper roses so must move on to the ribbon ones and have a play. Have a great day Sue love Diane G xxx
Sandra hope you have a great holiday. Lynne 5.30! Gosh you're keen but I bet the forest was lovely that early. Xxxx
Another beauty, Sue, love the flower

Lovely Card .. xx
Morning Sue, love this die, so classy. I think I have to have it! The card is stunning, I love gilding flakes and use them a lot, they usually end up all over the place including the cats, lol.
Many years ago Tom Baker (Dr Who) was doing a promotion at Boots, in Falkirk, I had taken my two boys to the dentist that day, and went over to the chemist for a few bits and bobs, we joined the queue, for an autograph and a local newspaper photographer was taking photos of the children and low and behold the next week there was a photo of my two boys with Dr Who, in the paper. Their claim to fame!
Happy days.
Take care everyone, Jess x

Hi Sue. WOW, WOW, WOW !! This is such a stunning card !! I saw this as your sample card when you released your new second set of dies. At that point I loved the Beveled Glass Striplet Die so much that I put it right at the top of my new wish list !! When you announced the winners of your new dies, I was absolutely stunned to see I was a winner of this very die !! I was so very happy Sue !! I have waited for your video on how to make this gorgeous card as I am going to make it for my Dads Special 70th Birthday towards the end of August. Thank you thank you, thank you Sue !!

Again, another one of my favourites. I loved this striplet die as soon as I saw it and to see this beautiful card made with it is fantastic. Can't wait to have a go myself making this one.
Thank you.
Bye for now.
SandraP xxx
A true W.O.W (Wonder Of Wilson) and again, the sentiment is sent back to you Sue, now Im not quite sure why Im thanking you so much, it could be for bringing us a new series of video tutorials which I find so helpful as my remaining brain cell sometimes refuses to function ! Or I could be thanking you so much for your wonderful inspiration everyday of the year, but Im thinking maybe I could be "Thanking you So Much" for an adhesive sheet and flake induced breakdown ! LOL, as you know how much trouble I get into, as do my girls here. I now have to walk into my little room and do battle with head held high, and show that sticky sheet and flakes who's boss ! All I hope for is that my silly little stubbie that wafts about in the wind doesn't get stuck onto my adhesive paper, or that will induce uncontrolable hysterical laughter and my battle will be lost immediatly !
Thank you so much for another stunning card and tutorial full of help and tips I cant do without !
Hope you have a lovely day Sue and to all my lovely sister Wilsonettes that are struggling, smile and Particraft smiles with you : ) Send everyone a : ) today.
Love you.

Good afternoon Sue and all my fellow Wilsonettes,
This card looks like you looking through the stain glass window when in church on born fire night with the glows of the gilding flakes looking like the beautiful flames from the bonfire. I think the imagination has been propelled into overdrive on seeing today's beauty. The black(yes i know i don't do dark colours at all)just shows up the fire of the flakes beautifully. I love the cinnamon coloured flower you have made from the satin ribbon, such a gorgeous colour and so warm looking, just right for the card. Thank you Sue for giving us so much of your talent and time, i know that each and every one of us on this blog thank our lucky stars for the day we found our very talented friend.
Sandra, i hope that you, your lovely hubby and the girls have a wonderful holiday. I know exactly what you mean about others pillow, toilets etc. Pillows i always take, and i am like your camel as well when it comes to other facilities. Have a wonderful time and birthday flower and i hope that you have a good time pain wise as well. Take care on the drive over and down to Spain. hugs.
Welcome home Jenny L, i'm glad that your back and discs have now decided to play nicely together for you.
Theresa(Tob) a big well done to your clever daughter both on her fantastic results and the chance of realising her dream. I will cross everything i can in the hope that she lands her dream job.
Helen Jones, a very happy belated birthday for yesterday and i hope you had a lovely day.
Brenda, i can see quite a few Wilsonettes were having struggles with the technology yesterday. I think you must have been nearer the door when they gave out patience than i was, but i bet even you were near breaking point with it all. I hope hubby survived long enough yesterday to have a good birthday and to your son in law as well.
Nanna Tina, it's funny how i am normally home with more money when daughter doesn't come as well. Having seen the amount of people at the back of the sofa with we during Dr Who time, did you all keek around the end to see if it was safe again as well?
June, i'm glad that you have that belonging feeling because i think that that is what Sue is aiming for, and certainly what we all want too. Your WOW up close and personal is like nothing else when you receive it, it is just so special and so much more in real life. I hope you have joy picking it's place of honour.
Welcome home Cameeli, i hope that you both had a fantastic holiday in the big apple and have come home with plenty of pictures and lovely memories.
Well what a day we are having today. I am frightened to say it's nice because these horrible nasty looking clouds keep coming over and making the beautiful blues of the sky disappear. Hubby is off this week and next as having that super fancy operations to his eyes because he doesn't want to wear glasses any more. But i think it was top secret as it was only discussed with daughter because i wouldn't understand it all you see. He seems to think that because our daughter is a nurse she knows everything there is to know about every operation out there. Being honest he is just getting in the road of the way i do things and it's 20 questions as to why i am doing it a certain way. I'm getting ready to scream "go away and leave me alone". I have been doing things the same way for over 23 years of marriage and now he starts asking why?? I think i know how women feel when there hubby retires and starts to take over what and how they have always done things.
Anyway i will go and leave you all with hugs going out to all the special people on this blog as they are unique and wonderful,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (glenochil)
P.s. my hills have all went dark and gloomy on me so i hope that they get back to normal soon too.
Lovely die and very classy card - thanks Sue! Susan x

Hi Sue,

Thank you for another inspiring video.
I apologise for my multi posts yesterday, I tried to blog you and explain only to have the same server error message, my thoughts were leave well alone!
Take care, love Brenda xxx

This was and remains my absolute favourite of your recent cards (difficult though it is to choose). I am going to adapt it for my main family Christmas Cards. Really stunning - thank you.
Take care

How fabulous. Such a gorgeous card, Sue.

Hi Sue, great video. Love the card. I love the look that you get from gilding flakes, but I have yet to try them. I really must give it a go.

Gorgeous card. Love the versatility of the striplet die and the gilding flakes look stunning. I have to throw in, I just love the gorgeous tops you wear in your videos they are very striking and look lovely.
Hi Sue,
It's brilliant when you put it on video to inspire us and I personally find it easier to follow that reading. Love the gilding flakes. Gorgeous card again. Thank you.
Lots of love,

Morning Sue...really nice card, I'll have to give it a go. Not the flower though, wasted 18" of tape trying to do that one. LOL. I really love that Summery top that you are wearing. The pattern would make a lovely card.
Belinda Raven said....
Hi Sue, stunning card today. Enjoyed the video and found it very helpful. The Bevelled Glass Striplet is on my wish list as I think it's a fabulous die that I'll get a lot of use out of.
Hugs, Belinda. X
Good afternoon Sue and everyone
What a beautiful rich and very luxurious card, with a touch of the dramatic too. I am seriously thinking of giving these flakes a try my courage is building up and I shall keep watching the video for extra special inspiration, thank you so very much.
Have a super time Sandra, oh those French pastries yummy!
Pam please do tell your brother there are two little Pembroke corgis here and their owner sending the very best of wishes to Robbie just wish I could send him some pics of my two little darlings. Corgis are very special little dogs and they are strong and very determined which is what Robbie is being bless him, do tell him they are all in my prayers.
Cameeli can't wait to here your holiday report!
Julie lovely to see you back.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them especially Sandra, Lynda, Lyndsay, Yorkielass, Tina, Steph and not forgetting Sue.
Margaret corgi owner
Wow Wow Sue this card is wonderful,love the Die.
Thank you for your inspiration.
Ita.
Brilliant way to make one of your gorgeous cut-out backgrounds with just a striplet! The card is a feast for the eyes yet so simple to do and not fussy at all. Right up my street.
Hi Sue
And all you lively like minders Sue fans
Sue today's card is a delight I love gilding flakes but have yet to have a go with them
Your take on your dies is nothing less than inspired and beautiful
I wish I had a quarter of your tallent
You take Care Sue
Love Theresa xx Txx
Hi Sue
Fabulous card so pleased to see this one on the blog I have just got the dies set and now I can have a personal tuition video with it lol........
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Hi Sue,
What a gorgeous card! I love that Striplet - my friend bought it so I have seen it but don't have it myself. What a beautiful useful die. I also love your ribbon rose - so pretty. Thank you Sue! It doesn't seem enough to just say thanks but it seems to be a unanimous sentiment throughout this blog!
Brenda - I felt for you and others yesterday - it is so annoying when that happens. Do hope your husband had a lovely birthday.
June - wow Champion the wonder horse! My brother's favourite - can't remember the little boys name but remember his Uncle Sandy!!
Started emptying my kitchen cupboards and dresser. What a task - so much clutter. Trying to be firm and give stuff to charity shops - too sentimental for my own good . Had big debate - do we move or replace the kitchen. Now I'm not so sure we made the right choice.
Wish me all the best for the next three weeks! I will need this blog to keep my sanity I think.
Sending love to all .
Safe journey home for your brother Pam and love to Robbie .
Love to Meg and baby Leo and family.
Sending hugs to Norah, Steph, Anne , Sandra, Tres, Lynda, Lindsay, Heather, Janet, Wheelybad Bad, Theresa, Julie Laz, Tina, Yvonne and Sheila - so pleased Nikki had a good day!
Myra
Hi Sue.
I love love love love LOVE this card, this die is next on my list. I have to say thank you too as I made one of your ribbon roses on Monday and I got it first time :-) next time I need one will probably take several attempts as I think it may have been beginners luck! Big hugs fkr you and your Mom xxx
To my Wilsonette friends, well! Time has kind of passed me by since Tuesday. I got a letter Tuesday telling me I have a housing inspection tomorrow- arrg! Cue frantic organisation of cleaning Tuesday and today. Yesterday we went to pick the portraits we wanted of us and Billy. Lucky Mr. W & I think the same! Had a walk on the prom after. Billy was so well behaved and slept solidly all evening so I could rest. I have to get back to my "pointing and shouting" now. I shall catch up properly soon.
Special hugs for baby Leo, Robbie and all my Wilsonette friends. Extra special hugs if you are ill, in pain or just need one (we all do some days!) I have missed you all the last few days.

Amazing card today Sue!
The gilding under the black card is so beautiful. When I was deciding what dies to get first from the new collection the striplet dies were near the bottom of my list as I didn't think I would get much use from them. How wrong was I!!!!!!!!
I need to go and order them straight away.
Your use of dies is just inspirational and you never fail to come up with a new use for them.
Wish I had tiny bit of your imagination!!!!!
Hi Sue, not long bought the gilded flakes and wasn't sure what or how to do with them, def will now have a go at this card thanks lol Gill P G
Hi Sue. Lovely card and, as I have this striplets die, I am going to do a similar card if that's OK. SueL x
hi sue, fantastic colourful card, i love guilding flakes i have a few pots and they go so far, unfortunately i would have to trim down on the size as i only have a bigshot, but it is still very affected and thank you for the great video love to all J
Amazing. I bought this die as I loved it. Looking forward to seeing what else you can do with it
Luv
Karen xx
Hi Sue. This is a beautiful card. It looks like a stained glass window. Will give this card ago and would make a lovely male card.
Best Wishes.
Denise x
Love the stained glass window effect.
Wow!!! GORGEOUS!!! Love the ribbon flower and the background die!!
This die is great Sue, I can see so many ways of using it, I'm sure it will be making it's way home soon.
Alison, thanks so much for asking about my little lad, he is still having his leg bandaged weekly, the skin is not growing over the wound at all, but he is now allowed out so is much happier, the foal is doing very well now, I think it was being in that gave her the choke!
On a brighter note, we took one of our Shetlands to the local show today, the biggest one day show in the country for her first class, she came 11th out of 16 with many seasoned competitions and their ponies in the class, think we were the only first timers there today, the little mare behaved impeccably almost as if she had been doing it for years, my daughter put so much work into washing her for weeks before hand and teaching her to stand and trot!
Julie glad to see you commenting again, love to you and Lee.
Lynne, thought we were mad to get up at 6.30 to make sure the mare was clean for the show! But 5.30 you must be knackered.
Cameeli hope you had a lovely time away.
Norah, I wish I could send you some of the lovely sun we had today.
Pam, hope you and your brother are both ok and love to the wonderful Robbie.
Myra big hugs and take care.
Sandra have a lovely holiday and hope the girls get their own packing done and remember everything.
Janet, pastry day tomorrow mmmmm.
Steph, keep smiling big hugs.
Love to all my Wilsonette family, Linda, wheelybad, tres, TOB, Tina, Margaret, Karen, and the lovely June xxxx

Hi Sue and everyone! I'm getting more and more interested into gilding flakes,they make a card look sooo amazing and with the striplet die this card is beautiful.Thank you also Sue for the great videos,saving them all so I can go back as often as I can.
Steph- Can see badlam with the flakes :0 I had to buy some pots with click fastening for my flowersoft as that where going everywhere every time I used it:< also the pots from chinese take- aways are good but sometimes the lids are a bit to hard to open.
Lynne-5.30 !! all the fun with your lovely little furbabies :)
Theresa-good luck to your daughter!
Sheila-nice to hear Nikki's outing was good,such a lovely day.
Wheelybad-hope you haven't exhausted yourself with the cleaning for tomorrow.... walk at the pier sounded lovely.
When down in B-mouth we always have a walk out.Would love to see Compton Acres one day,can't remember who is down there at the moment but have a nice time.
Have a nice evening, Hugs to all!

Love the look of this card today Sue.
Craftihappiness to everyone, love from Pearl.
Hi Sue, despite my aversion to just quite so much black I fell in love with this card at launch and it was one of my first purchases of your new dies. Seeing this card in real life only proved how beautiful it is. I am planning on making one similar to, but in slightly lighter colours, for a friend's birthday later this month.
Thanks for another great video.
Frances
Wow! Sue, another lovely sample!Love all that you do.
Best wishes
From
Annie B (Irchester) Northamptonshire
Wow!!! The black card and gold flakes give this an amazingly opulent look.
Love it :)

Beautiful card Sue, I am going to try something similar with the heart striplet.
Hope you are well

Hi Sue,
I love the vibrant colours in the gilding flakes against the sharp black die cut. I always think that geometric designs are perfect for masculine cards, but just adding the floral element feminises this design so beautifully.
Hi Sue,
What a gorgeous result. The gilding flake background looks so rich and textured with the combination of colours against the black. I love the black glue dots on the black card. I would never have thought to do this. Another fantastic card.
Rachel x
Another beautiful card and you made it look so easy that I might just manage this one lol
I will have a go at the flower but something tells me mine won't look like a beautiful rose.
only got to see this today simply stunning card
Yet another stunner, Sue.....i do love this colour combination with black. It makes the card look so classy....i love it....i am so glad you have added the video now i can try and make a similair card..TFS
This is one of my favourite dies in your collection, Sue. A beautiful card.
Anne (Northampton)
Hi Sue sorry for the late comment but couldn't connect to a server yesterday.
I fell for this die when you launched them. In fact I'm the very proud owner of all of the striplet dies. Absolutely love them.
The techniques you show are wonderful. Love being a part of your crafting Army.
Once again, gave a great day
Lots of love
Jo xx
Hi Sue, a stunning card - I have this die and am waiting for the chance to use it!! Hugs Carole Z X
