Hi Bloggers! This one was another special request so I thought I would oblige! I started by cutting the
Tethered Hearts Striplet twice out of white card and once out of peach card, all using the outside cutting edge. I used the edge die alone to cut solid backing pieces, two out of peach and one out of black. I glued all the pieces together to form three striplets. On a background piece of white card, I added the two white striplets to the sides with mounting foam and the peach striplet to the centre, raised a bit higher with foam. I used the ovals from the background to cut a white mat for my oval element, then made a faux mat out of black by tracing the outside shape of the die and hand cutting it. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inside of the
French Provence die. I inked it lightly with
Tattered Rose before removing it from my die. I cut a tag from the Austrian set out of peach card to go behind it. Using the
Classic Rose die, I made a flower out of peach card, then added in
Faux Quilled Leaves and a swirl to embellish it. I finished the card with a mat of black, then a white paper pierced mat using my piercing ruler. A thin black mat then a final white mat finished it off nicely. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4'' x 8'' in size.
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:

Hi Sue
I love the clever things you do with the striplets and the colours are so pretty.
Thank you everyone for your good wishes, I managed a good day out today and had breakfast at a local coffee shop with my card group, much more enjoyable than the supermarket lol !!
Have a good weekend all

Oh WOW what a stunning card, I love everything about it and the colour combo but I think it would have been just as lovely without the extra flourishes and flower as your striplet dies Sue, are a beautiful statement in their own right but I love this, Stunning with a capital 'S'

Hi Sue. How pretty, beautiful colours too : ) I love your striplets, you can do so much with them.
I can't get onto The British Craft Awards site to vote. It tells me that the page is not avaliabe! Will try again later.
Lynda - Congratulations: )
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Morning Sue,
Another Stunning, Beautiful Card, I Loved This Card When It was shown on Create and Craft.
I Love The Striplets as so much can be achieved with them, I Truly Love the mix of Colours you've used on this Card I would never think of putting Peach and White together "But" you've proven me "Wrong" yet again and by Adding The Black really makes it stand out.
Sue Thank You For Sharing Your Beautiful Cards.
I'm Busy making Cards at present I've got Five Birthday Cards to make, One For Leaving Her Job, One For New Home, Then I'm Still Working hard on my Christmas Cards as I send out so many and I send quite a few abroad so they are first in my pile of Cards to Do as Postage takes so long to get there Country (Mauritius) I make so many Christmas Cards what I call pretty much the same then I make quite a number of Special Ones For Special People and they take your time, I also make my own Envelopes, and I've just finished making my own Gift Tags which are in The Shape of a Bauble made from MDF Which I stamp an image on Decorative Paper either sie add a Bow and Ribbon, so at present I'm like a One Man Band Christmas Shop Creating my own items and I couldn't do any of it without your help.
Sue Thank You For Sharing Thank You For Keeping My Mojo Going Without You I'd Be Stuck!!!
Sue Take Great Care
Love and Hugs

Congratulations to The Wednesday Gift Card Winner.
stunning card .I know the colours are white and peach but on my screen it looks like a very pale blue and peach which looks beautiful
Good morning Sue and everyone. Lovely card, can see this as a wedding or anniversary card.
Congratulations Lynda. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Thank you so much for showing this, Sue, looked great as a sample on the shows but even lovelier up close and personal! Inspired use of the striplet die and such pretty colours - and, of course, love the embellishment. Just gorgeous.
Well done to Lynda Brock - know you'll be thrilled. Jealous? Moi?
Well, yes actually. But would really love a chance to win today's beauty!
Have tried to vote but not having much success with the page, will have another attempt later.

Fabulous card. The striplets are so versatile. Find them very useful .xx
Love todays card.The striplets are so versatile.
morning Sue
Cannot use the award site yet but will be trying later..
Today's gift is really something special. This is a die I as yet have not in my collection but I can assure you it's on the list.
Your colours for today remind of the 30s era and today's format is so inspirational. Thank you to whoever requested this gift.
Big congratulations to Lynda. - I can just see and hear you from here jumping up and down with excitement.
Norah - I'm with you all the way re 'I want'. I was always told 'I want never gets' and my two were brought up the same way.
Well my lovely Wilsonette Sisters yesterday's market trip was a trip of two halves! The market was lovely and quite busy given the time of year and the coffee was wonderful with all the usual gamers and gossipers etc. The only downside was the Pastry shop was closed for their Annual Holidays so No Pastries this week. Ah well I suppose it's good for the waistline (or what waistline?) They will be back in business next Friday so will just have to wait. There are other shops but we love this particular one.
Going to try and get a little papercrafting done this morning. To all who are under the weather hope you feel better soon. To all take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
You create some very special and intricate looking cards but because of the dyes they are mostly quite simple to do.
What a clever idea the design of this card is, really pretty.
Lovely card Sue, another die i have but not used yet,great colours together too,thank you,Linda x
Hi Sue and everyone, such a beautiful card and how to get the most out of a single die. Already voted at the British Craft site.
Congratulations to Lynda on winning a card.x
Love the design but for some reason the black seems to be a bit too black (lol)
to my taste on this creation. Maybe grayish or dark brown would fit better.
Once again those die-cut flowers are absolutely stunning!
Hugs,
Eemeli
Looks a romantic them today could pass for valentines with a little red in it.
Jane xx
Hi Sue Beautiful card today, one I had spotted in your show and had thought I might try , so thank you for sharing it with us.

Well the family party went well last night with everyone enjoying hog roast skittles and a quiz so hopefully a catch up day today. Have a good weekend everyone. Congratulations to Lynne on winning the card. Love Diane G xxx

Good morning Sue - I love tho card and how clever you are in using your dies.
Janet you made me laugh about the pastry shop being closed and your waistline - my mother keeps telling me she would like a puncture in her spare tyre!! At nearly 91 I tell her not to worry too much.
There are lots of missing names at the moment and I hope everyone is just busy doing other things and not in a dark place or in pain. To those suffering I wish you well and send lots of hugs and prayers. Have a good weekend all
Off to walk my dog shortly Take care all Helen K xx

Card is gorgeous!!!
I love this striplet, and use it all the time it is fantastic for wedding and anniversary cards. I have never thought to use it like this but will from now on.
Thank you Sue you continue to inspire with all your creative ideas and I'm always surprised at the unique features you add to your dies. Thursday's video with the edge die was amazing the fact that you can trim that edge off by turning it and popping it back thro, GENIUS!!!!!!

Beautiful card lovely for a wedding or anniversary.
Very ornate.
Oh Sue! You are so clever. I am sure most folk would look at the hearts die but never imagine such a beautiful card. How DO you do it? Mind you I don't know how you manage to make such beautiful cards each day, and more some days not even counting all you do for the shows.

Morning Sue and Wilsonettes. Many congrats to Lynda B on your Wednesday card. My red and white C card is twinking away on my lovely fire place, and although we 'dont do' C until a week before the 25th its got a warm welcome from Mr L too. He knows that Particraft, Sue and the Wilsonettes make me happy, and that makes him happy too bless him. So, onto today's beautiful card. I only have one striplet die, but it would look so lovely done this way. I visited a Wilsonette blog a few weeks ago and her striplet cards were delightful and opened my eyes and diverted my stale brain from my usual size cards, so thanks to you both for such lovely idea's xx
Market day tomorrow, so I shall take my Pointsetta gift out of its package, make numerous cuts in different C colour's and stick them together while Im there, I shall even (wait for it....) guild, yes guild some card and die cut some pointsetta flowers from it, how about that for bravery ? Me, and guilding flakes in the same room !!! Your fault Sue after guilded roses the other week !
So its getting to hibernation time, my fingers etc wont survive if I spend too much time out doors now, apart from hospital appointments and market once a month, thats me in now until Spring/Summer arrives, so depending how much of my fingers have feeling, I hope I can spend a little more time crafting ! Sorry Turkish weather not so good Barbie, was about to say you are in the right place, but apart from scenery, maybe not (hope you packed the craft you hoped to pack hon) !
I will now send my love and hugs to all that are struggling today, and hope we see 'our Pam' home soon, so worried about her.
Try and have a good Saturday.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue, oh dear, I fear I am in the minority again. This card is just too busy for me. I love the individual elements but not altogether!
Congratulations Lynda on being the Wednesday Winner, you have won a beautiful card.
Very wet, dull and windy here so when the washing is finished I think I will put Sue on the TV to brighten up my day as I try to get on with some Christmas cards.
Frances
So different and liking it xx the flower is gorgeous - I aspire to make roses as good as this xx GailT xx
Hi Sue.
What a lovely card. I don't have this striplet but I do have another one that I can use. Can't wait to give it a try.
Regards,

Hi Sue,
This beautiful card is just right to cheer me up on this cold day. But I dare say I'll soon get warm as I'm whizzing through my house hoovering/dusting LOL before treating myself and disappearing into my craft room, for some more "playtime".
Only too pleased to be able to vote for you - done!
Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue
Well two out of two posts have stayed where they are supposed to so lets hope whatever the problem was has gone never to return!
Such a beautiful card with one of my favourite dies which is so very versatile it can be used so may different ways with such a stunning effect, love it.
Many congratulations Lynda something for you to treasure and I know you will.
Take care everyone in the awful weather that for some is here and which is forecast too.

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a lovely card Sue with all the dimension to it. The peach coloured card is a pretty soft colour but might have to change the black. I know you love adding black where you can but i am coming around on certain cards i would definitely agree needs that black to show off the rest of the card, but not into the black on this one for me. I need to get my mind going on what other people like and out of my nice comfortable space. Hope you have a great weekend Sue and thank you for all you do. I will be voting you can rest assure yourself of that. Go SUE Go and knock then dead at the awards.
Lynda, i am fair chuffed that another beautiful angel has won this weeks card. I know that you will be over the moon when it comes, so enjoy dear lady.
Wheely, you know how they say that some owners get like their dogs, well it just goes to show that you and Billy are well matched. Take it easy flower, hugs.
Pat S Witney, i hope that you had a lovely day yesterday out with your friends at Bournemouth. I like going to the seaside what ever the weather as i love seeing the moods that the waters takes on over the different seasons. Mum and Dad used to take us to Arbroath(where you get the smokies from) to the seaside and we loved it. The sands were always so clean and you could have a great day out with a picnic costing very little but what a memory it leaves behind.
Myra, when i got married people asked me for my list, i didn't have one and never made one. I was brought up to be grateful for what i had, that everything costs money and it didn't matter what the cost it was the thought that counted and that what i did. It might explain the 5 carriage clocks, 5 sets of 3 pyrex dishes, 5 sets of cutlery, 5 dinner sets, and the 5 sets of pots and pans, but it didn't matter as someone had thought enough of me to buy them for me and i was very grateful for that. I am still working my way through the different things almost 24 years later. Who says presents can't last you a lifetime. One old lady bought me a porcelain red rose which i still have in my display cabinet which was to symbolise the love that we had which i thought was a lovely thought. So i have been so very fortunate over the years in having met and knew so many very special people. As for children well mine were 14 before any the two of them had a phone and it was a wee cheap one on pay as you go so you have to top it up. Rory very rarely uses his even when he is out it normally stays in the house, Kirsten however at 22 now has an iphone but was on pay as you go up to 17 and then she paid for it herself on a contract that i took out for her but it was a minimal one so that she couldn't go daft but it is like attached permanently to her right hand and fingers. I think the kids of today are going to end up with repetitive strain injury just with all the texting that they do, as they seem incapable of holding a) a conversation normally and b) to type the proper words as i am still trying to decypher the messages that get sent to me. Lastly my two were brought up that a) i want doesn't get and even b) please may i have perhaps still didn't get depending on what it was. Kirsten has everything organised to the past penny because of her upbringing and Rory is the same so thank goodness i did something right. It might have been hard on them at the time seeing all their friends with everything but they have found out just at what cost that brings, and not a good one either.
end of part one
Part 2
Going up to the cemetery today to see my daddy as he has been gone 7 years now so it is his turn to get the flowers in their vases. We have brightness but the skies are awful black across the hills so not looking like it is going to be a nice day but i hope that where ever you are that if the sun is not shining outside that it can radiate out from inside. Sending hugs to Pam, Lyndsay, Lynne and all my Angels that need or could do with a hugs. I hope that all not clever the now are feeling better soon and more upto par. I wont be in until late tomorrow as i am going to the SECC show in my scooter with my WOW badges again, so if you see a wee fat dumpy in a scooter with a smile on her face the size of the clyde tunnel it's me say hello. I don't think there is any one as daft as me that wears a badge in their bun so you will notice Norah the Numpty. Have a great weekend everyone,
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue and concerned Wilsonettes. Thanks to a lovely Wilsonette I have been in email contact with 'our 6am Pam'
With Pam's permission I am leaving you with this message.
Pam is struggling with the time of year, as I wondered, Pam is approaching Tim's anniversary and we all know what a dreadful shock that was to Pam. Pam is also more exhausted than she thought possible returning to work after being away for so long. She is low, and if anyone can understand that, we can, she has been through so much, so she is taking some time out for herself, to rest, sleep and basically remember how Tim loved the season.
Pam sends her love and thanks us all for our concern and will be back when she feels capable.
Thank you Sue for allowing your blog to take peoples feelings into consideration. I appreciate that some ladies can feel 'lonely' when entering such a caring blog and so many individual names are mentioned, but as we all know, we all care, try to support those that are not well or are down, but names do escape us 'of a certain age' but we care genuinally for all that enter this amazing blog, both regular ladies and those ladies that have just found you.
This is why you also deserve the blog award in our opinion - both for your incredible talant and allowing us to show WE CARE.
Love.
Lancashire Steph xx
Excuse me Sue but I want to say thank you to Steph for letting us know about Pam. Anniversaries are always hard, especially the first ones, and I am sure we all understand to some extent how Pam is feeling. Our best wishes and hugs go to her at this time.
Frances
Many thanks Steph for letting us know how Pam is and my thoughts and prayers go out to her at this sad time of the year. After returning to work it's bound to take it out of her too so plenty of rest will hopefully soon bring our dear friend back to us. Take care Pam.
Steph I can't agree with you more for what you have said about Sue and her wonderful blog and 'yes' I think Sue deserves the award more than any other.
Thanks again Steph.
Love and hugs to each and evryone of you.
Sheila xx
Hi Sue, lovely card and great news about your nomination you truly deserve it.

Good afternoon Sue, and all the ladies.
This is very beautiful Sue, and I have the dies - yay!
I've had a lovely morning, been to a 100th birthday party for an honorary aunt (through marriage) and she was in good form. Got to say that the Queen's card was just slightly better than mine ha ha.
Lancashire Steph - please give Pam my fondest love, best wishes and hugs. xx
Hi Sue,
May I just first of all say thank you to Steph!
Thank you for your lovely post about Pam and the Blog. I too thought Pam's absence from the blog had to do with the time of year. We all so appreciate seeing Pam' s name first every morning and she keeps up to date with birthdays etc. thank you Pam for all you do, take some time out - we all want what is best for you. Thinking of you at this difficult time xx
Thank you Steph! xx
Love Myra
Hi Sue, this is truly a stunning card love all the layering and the rose looks so real. Thank you!
Dear Sue,
What a pretty card this is, love the peach card against the black and white. Such a beautiful colour combo.
Love the way you've used the striplets to make a gorgeous background. Adore your rose embellishment.
Thank you for your inspirational cards and blog and all the hard work that goes into doing them.
Love and best wishes from katie-Louise sweetlove xx
Hi Sue,
What a lovely card! This striplet was the first striplet die I bought. I couldn't see the point of them until you showed their wonderful versatility. I now use this die more than most! Especially for a simple flat card for posting it is invaluable. I like it- did you guess! Voting done and dusted - no contest really! Would just like to say Wilsonettes are not biased at all - loyal yes - biased - of course not!
Lynda - Congratulations - thrilled for you! Enjoy your lovely card.
Norah - Pyrex casseroles seemed to be popular as wedding gifts and I too got several sets. We then went to buy our "cooker" as they were called back then - yes you've guessed - free gift with cooker - another set of Pyrex casseroles. However I also got four barometers! Still on the first one.
Janet - how dare they close your pastry shop just when you needed it! Two next week?
Must go, but just sending love to those who are missing just now.
Special hugs to Pam and Anne and Ian and Lindsay and Lynne.
Love Myra
beautiful card it turned out really nice...great color combo.
Congrats on being nominating and good luck...
Congratulations Lynda! Enjoy your beautiful card!
This card is absolutely gorgeous!! I would gladly trade my left arm for the Tethered Heart Die! I cannot wait for you to be readily available in the US! I see all of your gorgeous dies and can't touch them! That is like baking me a big chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing and setting it in front of me then telling me I can only look at it! ARGH!!

Hi Sue
Having been missing for days here I am twice in one day!I really want to echo all that Steph has said about this blog, it is quite unique not only do we learn so much from you and your crafting techniques but you allow us to reach out to each other and I for one have made some treasured friends who offer their help in times of need so freely, where else is this found? You more than any other truly deserve to win this award and any other available too if only for your wonderful caring and sharing nature.
With sincere and heartfelt thanks.

Hi Sue...WOW!!! I absolutely adore it :). First look says it is a very difficult card to make but once you take a second look, you realise that, as long as you have the right dies, anyone can come up with a reasonably beautiful copy.
Congratulations to Lynda for being this week's winner and well done, Sue for being in the running...you have my vote :). As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
What a lovely card, Sue. This ticks all the boxes for me.
I can only echo other comments today, you do deserve the best blog award, not only do you give us lovely cards and inspiration each day, you allow a caring community to exist as well.
With that in mind, Steph, thanks for the words on Pam, and if you are looking Pam, we are all here behind you, it can be very hard and you have had a **** year.
Norah, enjoy the show at SEC. I was there on Thurs, great!!

Hi Sue,
So pleased to see this card on your blog. I spotted it on C&C, but it seemed they never showed it for long enough. Now I've been able to look at length. I have a wedding card to do soon, and I think I'll be taking some inspiration from this card. I hope you don't mind! Best wishes Anne O

Congrats Sue and your colleagues for your nominations. Sorry today's card doesn't do it for me. The first time ever. Think it's a bit cluttered compared to your usual cards.

A beautiful card today. I bought this striplet from JS and it arrived yesterday just in time for me to make a card for my husband for our anniversary next week. I'll change the colour, the embellishment and the sentiment. Thanks for the inspiration, Sue.
Well done Lynda on your win.
Steph thanks for letting us know about Pam. She is in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care everyone.
Definately like the effect of using multiple cuts of the same die
I really love this card and the colours too. TFS...xxx
The striplet dies are just so lovely. I will have to buy one of them at least. At the moment I have 3 more packages under way from Joanna Sheen, so perhaps I better wait until payday...? hehehe
I should think you were nominated as your blog is so inspirational and your talents know no bounds
