Hi bloggers! I have cut the Austrian Background out of a
white gloss card. I just thought I would see what it looked like on a whim as I don't usually use gloss card. However, I thought it was rather interesting when used with other matte card. After cutting the
Austrian Background die, I raised it for dimension and mounted it over some coconut white card. I stamped my sentiment in black on white card and cut the
Salzburg die to create a frame for it. I added a white back mat layer to my frame, then added mounting foam to raise the frame over my sentiment. Using the
Complete and Open petal Delicate Daisies, I created a couple of black and white flowers as embellishments. In the upper corner, I cut a butterfly out of white glitter card from the
Magical Butterflies set . I added some thin antennae from a sliver of card and white
flatback pearls down the centre of the body. I completed the card with a white pierced mat layer, a thin black mat and a final white mat layer. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.
Now for the winner of the Wednesday weekly card giveaway. This week's winner is:
Clare Walters!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your prize. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue,
I Voted For Yourself, Or Creative Expression Where It Was Relevant "Good Luck"
But I Must Agree With Pam You Will Always Be "Number One" And The Best At Everything You Do
You Should Be At "Number One Spot Always",
As Any One Who Knows You, We Don't Just Think Of You As Working With Dies, But You Stamp On Every Card You Make When You Stamp The Sentiments, You Create Beautiful Stamps To Match A Lot Of Your Dies, And Also Your Stunning Embossing Folders Which Our Amazing.
I Like Many, Have Possibly Got The DVD You Produced What Seems A Long Time Ago, Where You Used Lots Of Techniques And Its Great To Look Back On. On Your Videos Its Not About Just Die Cutting Its Helping Us With Tricks Of The Trade How To Get The Most Out Of The Products We Purchase And So Very Much More! So For Me I Was Able To Vote For You In Lots Of Boxes Even If Your Name Wasn't There Unless It Wasn't Relevant, But So Much Was As Your A Designer, You're A Stamper, You Create Works Of Art, You're A Tutor, You're A First Class "STAR"
Today's Stunning Card Is An Example You've Decided To Use Gloss Card I Love The Different Textures You've Created From The Gloss And The Matt Card.
I Love The Awesome Butterfly And Where You've Added Glitter And Pearls, And Those Stunning Daises, I Love How You "Stamped" Your Sentiment Very Appropriate And Then Framed Your Sentiment In Black Card Which Makes It Pop Out Of Your Beautiful Saltzburg Die.
Sue As Always Thank You So Very Much For Sharing, The Fantastic Photography Shots, I So Much Appreciate Everything You Do And I Truly Love Every Card You Produce.
Sue Take Great Care
Love And Hugs

I so love all your tips and techniques, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all the sharing and caring that you do.

Hi Sue. Congratulations Clare, its the most amazing feeling when you open that envelope, so enjoy your W.O.W from Sue.
Hi to all our Wilsonettes both regular and new to the BEST craft blog there is. Hope you all have a lovely Saturday. I bought some gloss card last year to do the embossing and ironing technique which I found in your tutorials at the top of your blog, but have never tried it - suprise suprise, but did use it for printing, but now I will also incorperate it into my matts as well as die cutting (bet flowers and ferns will look amazing in gloss card) Todays card is just lush, I do love black and white, it looks so classie.
Starting to catch up with a few show's I recorded Thursday, pausing on the samples to jolt my empty brain into action ! I need such a shake and kick in the bootie region as my dear hubby keeps pointing at the calandar to next Sunday (market day) and I just raise an eyebrow ! Hohum.
Dearest Pam. I hope your first few days at work have lifted your spirits and helped you back into the 'human world' again. I bet you had a lovely welcome back.
So nice to hear familiar names and winners over Thursday's shows and you looked so well Sue.
To our dear friends that are struggling this morning, take it easy and help yourself to a bunch of hugs I have waiting for you.
Looking forward to going into my own little world as Eco descibes her French surroundings to us. But we are missing the antics of our Wilsonettes that are not around for whatever reason. Thinking of you. Please come 'home' soon.
Have a lovely Saturday everyone.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx

Love the white and black Sue,lovely card as always,good luck in the voting Sue you truly deserve it,you are amazing in what you do and your blog is so inspirational,you are a lovely lady(spoken to you at Alley Pally)thank you so much, Linda x
GM Sue - wahoooooooo! Couldn't believe my eyes when I read your posting this morning - you have made my day - the hubby was 'coming too' having his first cuppa of the day and wondered what the noise was all about, so I showed him your Wednesday card on the blog and he loved it - thank you very much - cant wait to recieve it.
Now for todays card - I am quite partial to ovals - having a phase I think! - I do love that Salzburg die - my bestest fave is the next smallest one with the lines around it - love, love that one. And I wouldn't have thought to use gloss and matt white card like this - it's a must try.
Well hope all Wilsonettes have a fab crafty weekend and thanks for your congrats etc... Next week it could be you -

Clare W :-)
Morning Sue, this is a stunning card. I have always steered clear of glossy card with does as I thought it would be hard to cut. I will now try it.
Voted for you and Creativd Expressions. So now keeping fingers crossed.

Love Rosemarie xx
Hi Sue. Such a classy card today. Really love it.
Congratulations to the lucky Clare.
Love Val in Spain x
Very classy card, stunning dies with black/white works so well.
I must admit, I do use glossy and mirri card, (well I have them in stock so have to use them) but it's often just the lift a card needs.
Cheers all
Janice W
Love it! Always love monochrome always give a striking result!
Norah, so pleased you have had such good feedback on your invitations. A lot of hard work only saving grace I guess is that as they are all the same you can do a production line!
Steph, hope you get your mojo back. Just cut one die and I bet all of a sudden the creative juices will start flowing!
Very tired finished work at 2 am for 2 weeks as going away. Need a break!
Anyway love to you all. See you tomorrow! Xxx
Lovely sentiment and love the mono

I have just bought these flower dies - I suspect they will be appearing on many of my cards!

Hi Sue,
Great card. Love the flowers. X
Gorgeous card Sue and nice to see glossy card for a change. I use a lot of coated card - both glossy and pearlescent and I do find it lifts my cards. Slightly more difficult to die cut if it is an intricate design though. Congratulations to Clare on winning this week's prize. Have a great weekend. x
Hi Sue
Gorgeous card. What a good idea to use the gloss card mixed with the matt card. Gives it a different look.

Good morning Sue and Wilsonette Angels,
What a beautiful card you have made for us today with the gloss front, it makes quite and impact with the matte card under and on top. It is a chic card today in the black and white as you have used the black just as more of a highlight which really makes the card so beautiful. Thank you Sue for another WOW (wonder of Wilson).
Well done Clare on winning a WOW card, there is no feeling like it is there when you see your name and start whooping with joy and your hubby wonders what all the commotion is about. Enjoy.
Have a great day with Nikki Sheila as she will turn a normal day into something so special through her eyes.
Steph flower, please take it slowly and calmly and you will get more done for next weeks market. Sending you wind to go under your wings just to give you a boost and some energy through ESP to keep you going.
Oh thank you everyone for your wonderful support, i am just so pleased that the wee lass has received such wonderful feedback about her invites. Her snob of a SIL whose uncle paid for her fairytale wedding,bought her house for her as a wedding present and top of the range in everything, says to Kelly about her getting them done professionally. She was surprised at her getting such beautiful stylish invites, because it isn't Kelly as she looked down her nose at her. It is the one thing i am happy at, that it has put her nose in a peep, but i am glad that they passed the scrutiny and for Kelly's sake not seen as homemade which was my biggest fear.
Susi and mum, sending hugs, you are in my prayers.
Cheryl, i hope you got on well at the hospital although i know how it can wipe you out. Keep going flower and you can beat this. Hugs.
Tres, i hope you are a wee bit better than you have been flower. Slowly, take each day as it comes.
Tandy, sending hugs to you flower just because you could do with a cuddle.
Have a good day everyone and i hope wherever you are today that it is a lovely day. Sending hugs to all my angels that are in need be it on blog the now or not. Please come back home soon Lynn and Lindsay, we miss you girls.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Stunning card Sue. Love the effect of the Gloss card though it looks cream against the Matt White card, looks fabulous all the same.

Very pretty card, not too sure about the glossy part though. I think perhaps a smaller amount of shine would appeal more - but that's just me :)

I have only just started to receive your cards, I have had about 4 so far and they are all just beautiful. It will take me a long time to get to your standard, but will start having ago. I have bought a few of the dies you have used and the card. The one thing I am having a problem purchasing is the tool that does the perforation round the edges, would you mind telling me what you use. I think it really sets the card off. I look forward to your next card coming.
Stunning card, I love black and white together.
Hi Sue,
I really love today's card. It is so elegant . I love the black and white but the glossy card has just added a little something - it almost gives it a pearlescent finish. Very effective. I have some pearlescent card in a box - will investigate. Your flowers and butterfly are beautiful and I love the Salzburg die - it gets used a lot here. Thank you once again , Sue. I think you have been well and truly voted for! If there is any justice you'll come top!
Sheila - hope you, your husband and Nikki have a lovely day. Hope it stays dry and not too windy. Our trees decided to get of half their leaves overnight. - it seems so anyway.
Janet - hope all going well with your return to Burgundy.
Tres - you take care - sending hugs to you too.
Norah - your Wedding Invitations sound lovely. They will be truly special as not to be found anywhere else.
They are bespoke! Handcrafted from the finest materials and made with love. Sending hugs to you and Rory.
Sending love to all, missing you Lindsay, Lynne M and Anne.

I hope everyone is as well as they can be and that they have a good weekend.
Love xx
Lovely Card .. xx
Hi Sue ans everyone. I love what you done here Sue,black and white with the shiny Austrian background,love it. Voting done yesterday,everything crossed for you to win. You are a winner with us every day!
Congrats. Clare W for winning wednesday card.
Alimecca-hope you don't mind but the Art Deco series you can buy in the shops is quite good for 20-40th card, even for wedding.
Cheryl-take care,gentle hug to you.
Norah-so happy she likes your invites.All that work you done,you are amazing.Would love to see it.
Hugs to you and Rory.
Berylb- using a Piercing Ruler to get the holes around the card You can buy from J.Sheen for £5.99(out of stock at the moment)sure she will get some more. I'm using a Layer Perfect from stix2 £14.99 but is harder to work with so probably get Joanna Sheens one day.
Hugs all around and special ones to,Pam&Robbie,Tres,wheelybad,Sandra,Tandy,Heather,ToB,June,Steph,Sam,Brenda, and our little ones
Take care and Hugs

Hi Sue
Love today's card. The die looks lovely cut out with gloss card. Although I'm not a fan myself, it works with this die. The butterflies are gorgeous as well. Congratulations to the card winner. Hugs to all and I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Hi Sue. Lovely card and I do like the glossy card you have used. SueL x
Thanks Lynda for news about Lynne M. Sending love to all concerned. X
Hi Sue,
Love the card, would love to see the glossy card in real life,. Would like to see a different colour other than black but that's just me.
Hope everyone has a great week end,
Hugs all round. Gail Cx
Love this card and the use of the gloss cardstock. I forgot that I have some of this and will certainly dig it out and give it a try. Love the black and white and the clean look of it. Thanks for sharing.
I like the glossy paper it just adds another wow factor on your card...
Well done Sue
Congrats to the winner..
Hi Sue love the look of this black and white card.
Denise X
Hi Sue
Love how you've used the glossy card. I like glossy and pearl card but only really used it as card blanks or for die cut embellishments- another "why didn't I think of that?!" Moment.
Have voted accordingly :-) also watched your shows on C and C. Gotta love flexi pay, my French dies will be well used! Thursday was my PA's first day. She saw the show when you were inking your stamps with distress ink and commented how pretty it was. I told her it was the sort of thing I like to do and she wants to give it a go! Wow, I thought I'd have to wear her down for a few months but clearly the Sue Wilson magic has another under her spell!!! Billy loves new PA too. She's very good with him and is happy to have cuddles as well as play ball.
Congratulations Claire! Xxx
Steph I hope that mojo comes out of hiding. I like to lucky dip through Sue's archives and get some ideas. It must be a lot of pressure to have a number of cards done by a deadline regularly. Sending some mojo your way to get you started xxx
Norah, glad your invitations went down well. Some people are just odd- hand crafted over mass produced any day for me. I hope Rory is ok, give him a hug for me xxx
Pam, hope being back at work is going well xxx
Apologies for not commenting. paperwork, letters, the expected tiredness, a little flare up and a whole lot of grief with my neck and back after all the paper work done and meetings but not a surprise. I have a card to make today for my Dad. Mr. W and I are going for a meal with him and my step Mum tomorrow which I'm looking forward to. May take a day or two before I'm back again as a result as would have had a couple bed days so shall do that early next week. Don't want to risk a full blown flare up tbh especially as, fingers crossed, I may have found somewhere to go and use a hydro pool. I have to make a phone call next week and see if its possible. Fingers crossed.
Special hugs for Janet Ecco, Myra, Maria, Yorkielass June, Lynne M, hubby, son and fur babies, Norah and Rory, Sandra, Ita, Maureen, Tandy, Lynda, Pam and Robbie, Steph, Cheryl, Alimecca, Lindsay, Diane and, of course to Sue. Anyone I forgot, all the international Wilsonettes and anyone ill, in any type of pain, in treatment or recovery. Getting my hugs in now in case I'm not around for a few days again.
Happy Crafting

Hi Sue
Love how you've used the glossy card. I like glossy and pearl card but only really used it as card blanks or for die cut embellishments- another "why didn't I think of that?!" Moment.
Have voted accordingly :-) also watched your shows on C and C. Gotta love flexi pay, my French dies will be well used! Thursday was my PA's first day. She saw the show when you were inking your stamps with distress ink and commented how pretty it was. I told her it was the sort of thing I like to do and she wants to give it a go! Wow, I thought I'd have to wear her down for a few months but clearly the Sue Wilson magic has another under her spell!!! Billy loves new PA too. She's very good with him and is happy to have cuddles as well as play ball.
Congratulations Claire! Xxx
Steph I hope that mojo comes out of hiding. I like to lucky dip through Sue's archives and get some ideas. It must be a lot of pressure to have a number of cards done by a deadline regularly. Sending some mojo your way to get you started xxx
Norah, glad your invitations went down well. Some people are just odd- hand crafted over mass produced any day for me. I hope Rory is ok, give him a hug for me xxx
Pam, hope being back at work is going well xxx

Hi Sue, a lovely card (just the right amount of black :-)) and I really like the effect of the gloss and matte card together.
Congratulations Clare on being the Wednesday Winner.

Hi Sue, A beautiful card, gorgeous combination.
Congratulations to Clare, your card was absolutely stunning, enjoy.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Love the card Sue, the Austrian collection is beautiful. Well done Clare, enjoy your card. Pat x
Beautiful card, love the effect of the glossy cardstock would never have thought of combining the two.
Hi Sue, what a corker of a card! I love the sentiment - I'm presuming it's a Creative Expressions one? If so from which collection? Did all my voting in the Craft Awards this morning and voted for either yourself or Creative Expressions in nearly all categories :o) Good Luck for the awards. Lots of hugs. Karen xx
Lovely card, Sue, really like this black and white one.
Catching up with cleaning etc. after 3 weeks away. Will try and catch up with what I've been missing on Blog comments.
Congrats to Claire on winning Wedsdays gorgeous card.
Hugs to all the Wilsonettes, especially those in pain or need ((( )))

Lovely card, the monocrome card does give a lovely effect. Congrats to Wednesday winner. xxxx
I really must make up my mind which background die to buy. I just CAN'T get them all! Gorgeous card - stylish and pretty. Love the glossy look and the daisies are lovely.
Hi Sue, wow what a difference it makes using a gloss card to cut the background out of, it sheens. I just love the daisies, the black outline makes them pop out of the card :). As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
Hi Sue
I like monochromatic cards and the gloss and matt looks great.
Dear Sue what a wonderful card. Love Michelle S xxx
Very elegant card. Your work never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for sharing.
Fabulous card - I always love black and white
it's very pretty and the gloss card creates such contrast. lovely, hugs xx
The gloss card looks really great and the black and white effect just adds more wow to it. Your ideas are amazing. Luv to all jax
Hi Sue ,another winner today.
Itas.
Good evening, what a wonderful idea. I wouldn't have thought to try that. Was it photo card you used? It makes the most striking card especially with the little touches of black.
Hello everyone, hope everything is going well for you.
Love & hugs from Diane xxxx
Hi Sue,

Hello Sue and wonderful friends, Todays card is just georgus, love the gloss card, and the daisies are a real WOW.
Congratulations Claire on winning the Wednesday give away card.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Norah, You should be so proud of yourself, you have given the almost newlyweds a real boost with their very personal invitations, I am so pleased for you. LOL
Beautiful and I love the simplicity yet detail on this card and the effect that the glossy card gives.
Also really starting to like the effect that black card gives as I am not usually a lover of black but the last couple you have done are starting to change my mind.
Hi Sue
Another beautiful card, black and white always looks elegant. Love your dies Sue.

Lovely card, the glass card really brings another element to the design. Beautiful.
Hugs Alice xx
I really like the gloss card stock. It gives a very interesting effect.
Love the glossy white and the black together...stunning!
Striking card. The glossy card stock certainly works here. I'm hoping to treat myself to the complete petal daisies which I couldn't get when I bought the open ones.
I've got lots of catching up to do on this week's blog. I've just watched the first two hours of Thursday's shows. Thanks for brilliant demos.
Well done Clare on your win. Glad the invites were such a success Norah. Handmade bespoke definitely beats "professional" mass produced any day.
Lovely card Sue xx hazel
Gorgeous card and luv the contrast between the gloss and matte card - fab - also luv this sentiment xx GailT xx
What a lovely card :)
Hi Sue
Catching up with your blog as missed a few days
I Have these dies and would never of thought on using like you have- it's a stunning card Sue
Take care Hazel G XX
