Hi crafters! The good news is that I have a great video for you to watch today. The bad news is that it seems that I missed photographing today's card. I have searched through all my files and somehow it has slipped through my photography session. There is, however, one lovely picture that was taken by the videographer. I have decided to make it up to you by adding an additional card below (but that doesn't mean you can get away without watching the video! LOL)
I made this card last year and it just hasn't had it's day on the blog so today was the perfect excuse. I started with a piece of the
Teresa Collins paper and covered it with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled the backing paper off and micro beaded it. I stamped the
ball gown (from the Belle of the Ball stamp set by Creative Expressions) with a
coffee Archival on to a patterned paper and embossed it. I cut just the gown out and paper pieced it on to another stamped image which I cut out as well. I mounted the image with foam on to the background. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with
Italian Frame die set. I inked through the die with
tea dye distress ink before removing it. I created a wide frame with the
Grand Square dies. I cut another frame that was thinner and layered it up on top of the first frame. I stamped the four corners with one of the corner stamps from the
Belle of the Ball stamp set and added mounting foam to the back of the frame. I placed the frame over the background. Using the Vintage floret dies, I cut several different sizes out of cream coloured felt. I inked the edges with
Tattered Rose, offset the flowers and added pearls to the centres. I scattered the roses around the sentiment with a twine bow. I added a
pearl swirl behind the dress. To finish the card, I added a wide milk mat with a double taupe mat. I used Cosmic Shimmer pearl PVA glue to add dots all the way around the frame. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size.
I have something fun for you tomorrow. I have never done anything like this before so I hope you will join me for something that is a first time event for me. I'm saying no more, but I think you will like it! All for now, Sue x

2 Beautiful cards Sue, just lovely. How lucky are we. Will watch video later.
Craftynanna, the donor bone was implanted into Robbie's broken neck during an emergency operation on the day of his accident as one of his vertebrae had completely shattered. Thank you for caring and also everyone else.
Diane your journey was sad but worthwhile, now you can start to remember your uncle from happier times.
Welcome to the blog Sally-Ann, it is a great community.

Hi Sue
Two stunning cards today we love being spoilt, going to try and watch video if my phone plays nice.
Looking forward to what you have for us tomorrow.
Gentle hugs to baby Leo, well done Robbie you are doing well keep it up, Pam take it easy now your foot is free I could not wait for my pot to be off and when it was I was so scared to walk on it in case I did any damage,I was non weight bearing for 6 weeks then some weight for 6 weeks then I had a pot I could remove for bed and bathing but had to wear it for 6 weeks when I was walking about and it felt very strange not having it anymore.
Welcome to the new Wilsonette
Love and big hugs to all the Wilsonettes, the sun is out at the moment so hoping it stays nice while I take Mum shopping so I hope the weather plays nice for everyone.
Going to try again to read comments from yesterday phone kept loosing the page.
Love and hugs to all
Happy crafting
Love Tina x x x
Hi Sue
love the ball gown card and it looks fantastic. x
Good morning. Sue
I'm glad you never had the photo for today's card because it means we get a 'twofer' lol. I will watch the video with a coffee after I've posted. I love both cards and the second card has reminded me that I have the dress set of stamps so I must get them out to use. The dress stamp is so pretty when stamped and embossed and can be used for many 'girly' occasions (I've also used it on a wedding card)
Hugs x
Heather T
Really like the second card and will watch the video later. I keep the videos for when I am relaxing in the evening.
Morning Sue,

You always share so many great Tips and Techniques with us.
I Love the fact that you can mix your Dies together to create a Outstanding, Rich, Elegant Card, I Love The Colours you chose for The Card in the video, Black, Soft Gold and Coconut White they work so well together.
I Love The Embossing Folder you chose for today's Card The Celtic Flower it's just Stunning, I Love how you cut an Aperture then in Black you've created a frame a very clever way using your Dies, Then using your Auvergne Die and your Burgundy in Soft Gold I love how you matted onto Black and then changed the look completely by cutting in half and arranging in a different manner, into The Aperture and then The Frame on top, adding Tulle, Twine, Fabulous Classic Rose, love how for a change you've added Mica Powder around the edge of your Sentiment, then to finish off with The Fabulous PVA Ivory Faux Pearls.
I Couldn't go without saying anything about The Awesome Second Card we're lucky to see,
I Truly Love The Teresa Collins Paper you've used and then adding my Favourite Product (well one of Many) The Mica Beads, then you stamped your Beautiful Belle Of The Ball onto pattern paper it looks Just Fabulous I Love The Sentiment where you've used The Italian Frame.

surprise.
Nancyd xx
Morning Sue. You are spoiling us today with two cards but its such a treat to see what you have done with your dies and stamps. Both cards are beautiful but for different reasons. You could leave the flower off for a male card and the second one is very stylish. I would be over the moon to get a card like this. Must go and have a practice with the ballgown. Take care.
Best Wishes.
Denise x

Keep crafting.
Morning Sue
Another beautiful card thank you
Pat x
Oh Sue that is some card! Great video - thanks - love the way you did the double frame and a good bit of work for the centre section - then - chop!! And didn't it just work so well? Don't have any of these dies (except the roses) but could perhaps improvise. Know I say this to the point of being annoying - but LOVE the embellishment.
Great second card, too, and wonder what tomorrow will bring.
'P' in Wales
Pam - guess such a relief but just take it easy now.
Hi to Sally-Ann!
Morning Sue,
Another great day two cards, both lovely but I think the first one would be my choice. A surprise, now what can that be.
Will watch the video later.

The card on the video is absolutely stunning, Sue. I really don't know how you come up with all these ideas. Thank you.
Anne (Northampton)
Morning Sue - how nice of you to give us a bonus card (which is beautiful). Off to watch the video now, to see what we should have had in pics. (Love it that you are human too, lol).
Two lovely cards will have to watch video later Gor to get off to work How I hate how work gets in the way of playing!
Morning Sue and all the blog family. I love both these cards and you are so clever to create such different looks with your dies.
I am so glad you are free Pam it really is a weird feeling but a good one. Hard work with physio ahead but keep going.
I am lucky as when walking my dog he is too scared to wander too far from me. Apart from the time some great danes came into the park and when we all stood chatting Ozzie sat out in the middle of the field away from everyone. Off to take my Mum shopping today and I hope the weather holds as it is a lot easier in the dry.
Have a good day all and hugs to anyone in need.
I know you shouldn't wish time away but can't wait until tomorrow - what have you got in store for us Sue? Helen xx
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
Good heavens, how lovely are these cards and the video is great. I think the video card is the winner by a nose! Looking forward to tomorrow's surprise.
Pam, what super news, I bet you had a great night in bed last night without the pot. You'd be able to feel the sheets on your leg and move freely, but be careful. I'm also thinking of Robbie and hope his progress continues.
Norah where are you?
Alison, do you live in or around Newcastle? You could pop in for coffee.
I hope everyone has as good a day as possible, pain and worry free, and I thank you for your kind wishes. xx
Morning Sue. A lovely card. I have the ball gown set but haven't had it out in a while. Must put the grand square dies on my wish list. Looking forward to watching the video and seeing whats in store tomorrow. Hugs Heather.x

Pam what happened about your cast?
I am late on today because I could not sleep in the night so got up about 2am and did some things on my PC, then went back to bed about 5am, so didn't wake up again until late, so going to have my breakfast now, thanks to hubby. Have a great day everyone, keep safe, healthy and happy. June Smith xxx

Oh, forgot,
the second card is lovely, too, just in a different way.
But the card with the French dies is more versatile - with some tweaking even males would appreciate it.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue.
Love the video today, and the two cards of course. How do you come up with such fantastic ideas for using the dies? Brilliant. Thank you. Have a great day.

Hi Sue,
AGAIN, don't know where my first comment went to....... so here it is again:
Absolutely exquisite card, it has the "Sue Wilson elegance" BIG TIME. The dies are lovely and when I saw this card before I'd been wondering which dies you used (and not getting anywhere). Well, now I know. What a good idea.
I love the composition and the roses (mine still don't look as good as yours), everything is just gorgeous.
Hugs, Rose
Two lovely cards again Sue can i have some of the part of you that comes up with these fantastic idea`s please,makes my day seeing what you have each day for us thank you Linda x
Hi Sue,

Hi Sue, love the video and the card. Also love the second card.

Hello June Smith, cast gone but foot and ankle too swollen for boot so have splints. Now have to try walking on foot with aid of crutches but foot doesn't feel like it belongs to me, but it is progress. Thank you June x
Hi Sue, both beautiful cards, especially the second one. The dress is gorgeous. The stamp set is on my 'must have' list.
Morning Sue,
Wow you are such a whizz with dies....today's card is tunning and tomorrow's card looks equally as stunning....can't wait...you're such a tease!
Great video.
Pam I'm so pleased you have now had yor cast taken off it must be such a relief. Hope the splints help you with the rest of your recovery and hopefully you'll be back on two feet . My best wishes to Robbie I do hope the bone graft worked and it's such good news that he has had the neck brace off. All these steps are so good for him and hopefully he carries on with more improvement.
Hugs to all who are in need of them and I hope you find much better days ahead.
Love Sheila xx
two lovely cards sue, I especially like the dress.
So surprise tomorrow can't wait.

Hi again, back from hairdressers, as usual she worked wonders, now I have to try and do it myself!
Just watched the video how good is that, I never thought about using the mica powders to edge my sentiments, guess what I will be doing in the future.
Good news Pam about your cast, take life easy for a while and don't push yourself too much.
Take care everyone, Jess x
Two lovely ones today as always Sue. Thanks so much.

Thanks for another fab video.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Hi Sue. Morning Wilsonettes. This sentiment comes back to you Sue from me.
You have started to boost my lack of confidence by giving us your time with video tutorials. I do try to look at my dies in a different light, by turning and cutting. People look at me amazed when I look at them amazed when they pass comment on my cards at market, but I dont always see what they do ! So you are helping my work to grow and I cant thank you enough.
Today's cards are so beautiful. I have none of the dies or stamps but I know I can improvise with what I have. Cant wait to see our suprise tomorrow : )
Pam Im so pleased to read you are now potless love. Get thise muscles working and plenty of moisturiser.
Barbie - Im an imposter ! We moved here 4yrs ago to be near our only daughter (Brummie born n bred) and NO we dont talk like toise fools that try to immitate us lol. So no family or friends (apart from Lyn at the shop) whom I saw yesterday : ) thank goodness for crafting or I know for certain Id go mad as I do need friends to care for ! My cardstock and dies are my friends - sometimes lol !
Cam where are you ? Im missing you. Hope all is well.
Lynn loved your story yesterday, thanks for making me laugh out loud
: )
To Pam, Barbie, TOB, Tina E, Margaret, Janet, Julie et al plus those that have time to shiw you really care this sentiment goes to you also.
Trying to get comfortable to 'work' but its not happening, my interest has wained a little and I dont know why !
Time to take tgat awful medicine, find sime comfort and shake some ooomph into myself and get cracking ( I have to smoosh with some dies LOL)
So I will send my love and heartfelt cuddles to you Sue and all my lovely ladies. Welcome Sally- Ann. Enjoy this wonderful site.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xxx
Good morning Sue,

Love the split aperture card, another idea I wouldnt have thought to do. I do enjoy each video very much. The Belle of the Ball is just darling, such a pretty Birthday card, love it. The micro beads really dress it up even more.
Hellooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Wow! Just wow! Fantastic video Sue x "Thank you so much" for these wonderful tips and videos on how to do these gorgeous cards. Everything is explained wonderfully and seeing how you do it on video gives you the chance to keep pausing and going back. You are It's also been good to have a two-fer! They're both beautiful, thank you! xx Hoping you and your family are fine Sue. Sending love and hugs to you and your family Sue and also to all the Wilsonettes who need love and a hug today xx Take care Sue and everyone xx fantastic news on Robbie Pam. Wonderful about the donor bone. My brother Mick had a donor card to use anything and everything if anything happened to him. Needless to say it was honoured by all the family to go ahead. What a selfless act by thinking of others. xx Helen, don't worry, we all go through these things sometimes. It's just lovely to know that each and every one of us are being thought about and are being sent a cyber hug and love to make them feel better. Knowing that you have the wonderful support of every Wilsonette here is something to be treasured. It's the most wonderful blog ever! Always here for you and anyone else too xx It's wonderful to read your fur babies adventures again Lynne. You clever girl using "breakfast" to entice back! Lol! Norah, hope you're okay xx Roll on for this surprise tomorrow Sue! Can't wait! xx Love Karen xx
Hi Sue, I'm just off to watch the video but had to comment on the 'backup' card before I do...it looks like a framed picture, it's beautiful xx

Hi Sue.
You are so right. It is a beautiful card and the video is really easy to follow too. I don't have a lot of the dies you used but like you said you could try it with anything you do have. Amazing how one cut can change the whole appearance.
I'm really tired today so I'm off for lie down. Take care everyone.
Lots of love
Jo xx

Hi Sue
Two super cards today,but will have to watch the video later. Mind you I have a few stacked up. Must try to have a fe hours to myself to catch up. I also have recording to watch as well. I love the baalgown stamp. Must put this on my wish list. That's growing by the day.
Pam I'm glad you've got rid of your pink friend. Lots of exercise now to build up your muscles.
Hugs to Lancs Steph, wish I was closer to give you a hug. Try not to do to much.
Norah and Cameeli, I'm missing your daily musings, hope nothing unto ward has happened to you both.
Special hugs to Sue and Sanda, and hugs to all in need of one today.
Hi Sue,
Great video! Such a clever way to use the dies . We learn something new each day! Love both cards but the one on the video is my favourite. What are you getting up to tomorrow? At this rate this week I'll be one of the last to find out.
Going to Godalming tomorrow to friends for the weekend . After a weeks crafting with kids I think I'll sleep all the way!
Pam - hope you had a good night without the "pot".
Norah - hope you are ok. Missing you and sending hugs to make you feel better. x
Dawn - I would just like the figure to fit in the dress! You made me smile.
Barbiepinkfairy - you are having a fun summer holiday.
You'll be on Bake-Off next!
Lynne - your doggie tale made me laugh - our Labrador used to sit and gaze at a drawer each night at 10 pm as she got a few doggie chocs at that time every night!
Ita - hope you got on alright yesterday.
Clare W - hope the A game went with you and that you had a good day!
Steph - hope you feeling a bit better now. Sending a hug.
Sending love to, Lynda, Tina E, Wheelybad, TOB Theresa, Julie Laz, Sandra, Brenda, Sheila, Margaret, Anne, June, Alison, Lindsay, Tres, Heather T and a special welcome to Sally Ann.

Love and hugs to everyone,

I'll watch the video tomorrow , all being well. I like the video card the better of the two - it is very pretty. I don't think I have many of the 'ingredients' but I'm sure I could improvise!!
Thaks Sue.
Hugs Janet
Hi Sue, you've spoilt us today showing two cards. They're both beautiful but I like the video card better. Just proves you have to play with the dies and think outside the box. Thank you for teaching us all these tricks. Love and hugs,

Two fantastic cards!
The video is so helpful and really makes you think about using your dies in different ways. The second card is so beautiful and looks like a decoupaged picture in a frame, so pretty.
Looking forward to the blog hop tomorrow from Creative Expressions. Also Julia has two shows on C&C what a treat!!!!!
Hi Sue,
I'm really quite pleased that you forgot to take the photographs! This way we get to see two cards! Both are lovely and I think my favourite is the original. Intrigued about tomorrow - you do like to tease sometimes!
Maureen, I actually live just south of Durham at Ferryhill, but thanks for the offer. Had a rubbish day today - got absolutely soaked to the skin twice - couldn't believe it! It's a good job skin is waterproof that's all I can say! Pam, really pleased that you've got your pot off at last. Just take is steady though, you don't want to do any more damage. Lynne, I really had a good laugh at the pesky critters' antics of yesterday! Their stomachs always get the better of them though. Is your hubbie cottoning on to the fact that they are not as perfect as he thinks?! Cameeli and Norah missing you both. Steph hope all is well with you. Love to all above and Lindsay, tres, Myra, Julie, Gail and anyone else I've missed. Love Alison xx
hi sue, well what a treat for me you doing the dress off the belle of the ball stamp set, my stamps came this morning so am well pleased, thank you so much, the video is brilliant and shows just how versatile the dies are and both cards are lovely, i am wll into my c cards now i have prepped for six christmas tree ones, the one were you glue several trees together and i have tweeked four by making the top layer of two in gold and two in silver, i will finish them tomorrow and then my peace die and let it snow die will be here, so busy, busy as i am of to the charity shop on sat. sue thank you for the note on robbie i am up to date, i don't comment on personal issues but i do read them all, i myself have a unoperable blood clot on my spine as well as
spinal stenosis so i do know what pain is like having it 24/7 and taking a shed load of pills, next stop is morphine patches but i don't want to go there just yet love to all J
Hi Sue just watched the video and my heart was I'm my mouth when you chopped that beautiful piece up after all your careful layering but the effect is stunning. Loving the gold and black. The dress card is lovely too aren't we lucky thank you. Looking forward to the surprise tomorrow when hopefully life will slow down again. After a long day yesterday we were up early to collect exam results (AS levels so another year to go). Emma did really well getting B grades so we can start the university visits knowing her results to hopefully get good offers. Take care Sue and enjoy your evening. Love Diane G xxx
Pam thank you for your kind comments , yes have got some lovely memories of my uncle and met his 8 children many for the first time so more cousins to add to the large family!!! Take care of yourself xxxx
Dianeandchips oh no poor you how awful. Thinking of you xxxx
Another great video and the card is another stunner.
I love the gold and black as it makes it look so rich and luxurious.
I have just added some more of the new dies to my wish list lol
Absolutely love the second card too.
Hi Sue,

Hope everyone is okay.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Sandra hope you had a lovely birthday.
Norah sending you a big crafty hug LOL
Steph, thought of you today, used the dreaded !!! flakes with granddaughter she thought they were brilliant - but I had to keep telling her - touch them gently and DO not to breath on them. It was lovely, because I felt that I was opening doors and she was like a big sponge just soaking up all the details. That's the pleasure you get working with children. LOL
Pam, take it a day at a time - carefully!!! Big hugs to Robbie you should all be so proud of him ( I am ) Love and Prayers xxx
lovely cards
Wow Sue. I feel like I found a gold mine. I just found you and have watched several videos and absolutely love your work. I don't want to miss a single post so have signed up to follow you.
