Floating Background
Hi bloggers! Today's card is a bit different, but quite striking I think. It is a lovely way to use the New York Collection dies. I hope you will give it a watch!
Finished dimensions are 7" x 7"
in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, wow I am so going to enjoy this card video, I really look forward to these and this card looks stunning, just got to wait for hubby to wake up.
Have a great Thursday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
The vid was great. I was impressed how you mixed the squares so the inner & outer edges were different. You inspire me to try a less regimented style than my own. Big hug Julie E
Beautiful card and great video to show how easy such a complicated looking card is, thank you again New York collection is just beautiful, I am hoping for some spending money for Christmas and know what I will be doing with it !! We are getting some much needed rain here on the NSW mid coast, good card making weather
Hi Sue Hoping phone will let me watch after I get back from shopping this card is beautiful. Meg hope you get lots of Leo cuddles, congrats to Theresa and Tony on your daughters new job, and huge hugs and thank you to all the get well wishes hand a bit achy but doing great.

Morning Sue. Thank you so much the card is beautiful and the video showes how easy you make it look, you are so clever, thank you so much. Take care Kitty.
Good morning Sue When I first saw the card I thought you had used borders to create your card. After watching the video I saw you had used your New York square dies. I love the effect you've created it's beautiful. The colours you've used are so delicate and adds to the beauty of the dies, and the pins are gorgeous. Hugs to all that need one Hugs x Heather T
Such clever use of the dies, Sue, and a lovely idea to have the floating central element. Very pretty and delicate and, of course, love the embellishment. Thanks for such an instructive video.

TOB Theresa - great about daughter's job - well done her! Thinking of Nanna Tina, Cheryl, Janet and Meg off to see baby Leo.
Hello Sue, this card really has the wow factor, the lacy effect of those die cuts and the way you have used them certainly makes a stunning background on the acetate. Great technique. Have a good day all. Bx
Hi Sue. Morning, afternoon, evening dear friends. What a delightful way to start the day. From yesterday's bold red to a delicate pretty lace looking card. Its beautiful. Im hoping that heavy parcel Mr Lancashire had delivered the other day has one of the square sets inside, if not, they are on my list to spend my birthday/Christmas money on. Stay warm and wrapped up today. Thinking of you all that are not so well. Help yourself to cuddles that I have waiting for you. Love you. Lancashire Steph xx
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love the soft pink and how you have used the dies. I will watch the video later when I get home from work. Hugs Jackie
morning Sue from a very very wet and windy Sheffield. Today's gift is more than beautiful it's so so elegant,delicate and magical and which lady (of any age) wouldn't love to get this through their letterbox. I would go so far as to say that I would make one just for me on my bday. lol. So it goes without saying that my 'must do' file has has just had an addition.
TOB - Please pass on my congratulations to your Daughter in her new job. Norah - hope everything is OK with you and yours in this horrible horrible weather we're having. Hugs are on their way for you.
Sorry my post appeared twice yesterday. The cause has to be this 'robot' thing as I had some difficulty reading it. I've tried ignoring it but it will not let me post without it. So once again I'm sorry you were subjected to my ramblings twice.
To all under the weather hoping you all feel better soon. To everyone if venturing out please please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow. Janet x

Good Morning Sue The most beautiful card and brilliant video to go with it. Sometimes thank you is not enough so I will apologise in advance if I ramble a bit here. I have been struggling for weeks to find a card to make for my sisters birthday. She has very recently been given a devasting diagnosis and although she is starting treatment, the future looks bleak. I want to make a card which will show her just how much she is loved and thanks to you I have now found the one. What I am really trying to say Sue is your inspiration has given me the ability to make the most important card I will ever make and I cannot thank you enough for all you do, but especially for this most beautiful card.
Hi Sue, Oh my what a beauty! I don't know how you do it, your ideas are always so inspirational and really make you think about the dies. Thank you for sharing. :-) Lorna D

Take care, Jess
This card is GORGEOUS! It reminds me of a bygone era , delicate ,pretty and romantic I think it would make such a perfect Anniversary card, maybe when friends have theirs in January I can try something like this, also I love the floating effect and the little vellum flowers such a clever design! It's our Pilates group Christmas lunch today so I'd better get a move on, need to do my hair colour ( bah humbug! ) wish I had the courage just to let it go , but I dont!

Will definitely give it a try although only have the Union Square. I'm earlier than usual today as I'm going out any minute now to meet my grandaughter . She has been doing her mocks but has finished and has today off! We are going to have lunch and a little shop - probably in shops I'm not very familiar with! Looking forward to it!

This card is so beautiful. I am glad I have all the dies to try and make it. My niece's birthday is coming up and she would just love this. Thanks so much for the video on this one.
Hi Sue, I haven't watched the video yet, I need to thaw out after being out in the bitter wind earlier lol. I love the finished card. I know I should say I love the dies but my eye was immediately drawn to the lovely flowers, ribbon and pins! The colour is beautifully muted and restful, and I know that anyone would be bowled over having such a wonderful card. I know all the Wilsonettes who already have the dies will be busy making their own version of the card to send to their loved ones. As always, thanks so much for sharing with us. x

I have to post most of my cards so better not use the pins but it really is beautiful. Many hugs Mauureen

Hi Sue A stunning card today, love love love it. I'll have to watch the video later as we're off out tonight. Crafty hugs to all who need one today. I have to prove I'm not a robot today again. Anyone else having this problem now, as I thought Sue was going to look at why this is happening?.

What a clever idea and a(nother) inventive use for our dies, the finished result is simply perfect and the colours look wonderful. .. another combination I wouldn't really have considered but it looks so pretty.
Got worn out making cards Sunday and Monday, then had a bit of a mishap with my already sore neck hence no comments for a few days, it's amplified the symptoms so super tired. Even further behind now but can't be helped. Will try be back tomorrow.
Please take care, stay warm and dry. Hugs for all, with extra going free if they are needed.

Hi Sue. This is a fabulous card and video today !! Thank you for making the video so easy to understand. I really love, love, love this card. It is Sooo beautiful. Really pretty, delicate and lacey !! The colours you have used are lovely to. A great way to mix and match the Fab New York Collection dies. I love the way you have used the acetate to make a floating card. The ribbon, stick pins and flowers are gorgeous and add the perfect finishing touch to this beautiful card. If I am lucky enough to get these dies for Christmas then I am certainly going to make this card. Possibly for my Mum and Dads 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary towards the end of January. It is such a WOW card !! Yesterday's Christmas card is really lovely to. Another "must try" card. Also Tuesday's video and card were beautiful too !! Also another "must try" card.

Hi Sue, such a beautiful and feminine card and shows how the NY squares dies intermingle perfectly!

You might think i am been cheeky but could you blog a card for a christening with your new dies. Thank you for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.

Morning Sue, lovely pretty card it looks really lacy, and the colours are gorgeous. Off to watch the video now.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone, it. Is now snowing here.
To everyone having problems with the robot, if you tap the circle thing with the small arrow on it, you get another words or numbers until you get one you can read! I have done this and it works.
Take care, Jess
This card is GORGEOUS! It reminds me of a bygone era , delicate ,pretty and romantic I think it would make such a perfect Anniversary card, maybe when friends have theirs in January I can try something like this, also I love the floating effect and the little vellum flowers such a clever design!
ReplyDeleteIt's our Pilates group Christmas lunch today so I'd better get a move on, need to do my hair colour ( bah humbug! ) wish I had the courage just to let it go , but I dont!
Keep cosy ,Love and Hugs to all xo

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWell, what can I say except beautiful, stunning gorgeous or something else I've said before many times! We run out of superlatives. I have watched the video and you are so clever! When I looked at the card I thought you had combined borders! I also thought the flowers were made of pink felt! Shows you what I know! Lol.
Thanks again Sue for another stunner. Will definitely give it a try although only have the Union Square.
I'm earlier than usual today as I'm going out any minute now to meet my grandaughter . She has been doing her mocks but has finished and has today off! We are going to have lunch and a little shop - probably in shops I'm not very familiar with! Looking forward to it!
Maureen enjoy your Carols - younger son went to Newcastle Uni so can picture where you are going.
Anne - all the best with the hair and enjoy your lunch
Meg - have a great time with Leo . Think of him often.
Pam- good to see you back in top spot at least on weekdays. Hope you are feeling a little better. Good news about Robbie from the Caringbridge site. An amazing young man.
Well, must go and not be late for a very important date!!
Love to all,
Myra. Xx. Hugs for Norah xxx

ReplyDeleteWOW! This is gorgeous! LOVE the softness of the inner piece! A truly spectacular work of art! I will be watching it later on! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I haven't watched the video yet, I need to thaw out after being out in the bitter wind earlier lol. I love the finished card. I know I should say I love the dies but my eye was immediately drawn to the lovely flowers, ribbon and pins! The colour is beautifully muted and restful, and I know that anyone would be bowled over having such a wonderful card. I know all the Wilsonettes who already have the dies will be busy making their own version of the card to send to their loved ones. As always, thanks so much for sharing with us. x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea and a(nother) inventive use for our dies, the finished result is simply perfect and the colours look wonderful. .. another combination I wouldn't really have considered but it looks so pretty.
Got worn out making cards Sunday and Monday, then had a bit of a mishap with my already sore neck hence no comments for a few days, it's amplified the symptoms so super tired. Even further behind now but can't be helped. Will try be back tomorrow.
Please take care, stay warm and dry. Hugs for all, with extra going free if they are needed.
Night night!

Wow Sue, an other pretty card Marlene O xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. This is a fabulous card and video today !! Thank you for making the video so easy to understand. I really love, love, love this card. It is Sooo beautiful. Really pretty, delicate and lacey !! The colours you have used are lovely to. A great way to mix and match the Fab New York Collection dies. I love the way you have used the acetate to make a floating card. The ribbon, stick pins and flowers are gorgeous and add the perfect finishing touch to this beautiful card. If I am lucky enough to get these dies for Christmas then I am certainly going to make this card. Possibly for my Mum and Dads 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary towards the end of January.
ReplyDeleteIt is such a WOW card !!
Yesterday's Christmas card is really lovely to. Another "must try" card.
Also Tuesday's video and card were beautiful too !! Also another "must try" card. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your blog, cards and videos. Your cards are amazing and you are such a clever designer.
Sending you lots of love and hugs today Sue love from Tres x x x

Thank you for a most wonderful video and a just as wonderful card. Of course it resulted in a purchase :) All the new dies are absolutely beautiful. Perhaps a bit too many all at once, too much to buy...
ReplyDeletePretty card. I have tried several times but I can not get the video to work.
