Hi Sue, what a stunning card, love the embossed edge, and as I got the die just before Christmas, definitely one I can try. Will watch the video a bit later. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Great card and video. Like the emphasis on embossing the die and the way you have combined different elements.
Hi Sue
A very chic and elegant card. It's great to have another way to use your fabulous dies. Thanks for sharing.

morning Sue
Thank you so much for today's gift. As you say definitely one which can be done for those pesky males in our lives that can be so awkward.
Simple it may be but very striking and you have made my mind up for me re which of those dainty dies to buy. I've been trying to decide since your last launch. I love your colour pallet today; muted tones which show the results of the embossing so well.
Norah- Good for Kirsten! I'm definitely with her re having priorities on get their home sorted first and then look to having the luxuries (in those I count such things a extra tv stations etc). Well done Kirsten.
Very frosty morning at the moment but frosty or not it's the first big monthly market of the year
in Corbigny today so we cannot miss it as we'll not get to February's as we leave before it's date. Looking forward to having a wander around and at this time of year it's only the locals and a few who have second homes here. Have my shopping list at the ready.
I hope that all the gales have now settled for you all in the UK and that you've not had any damage.
To all in pain or suffering from whatever I hope your days get better soon. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

This is beautiful Sue, I do forget the dies can be used to emboss, we always seem to look at them as dies first lol!

Hi Sue - I have been using the frame from the New York Times Square to emboss on some of my cards recently and am so pleased with the result. Your card today gives another great idea for embossing and as I have to make a man's card this week I shall be making one of these. The video is very helpful - thank you so much for sharing all your brilliant ideas and tips. Best wishes

Today's card really works for me. Just love the look. You make me laugh though when you say in the video it will take just a few minutes to make. That would take me ages to do from scratch - I must be such a slow crafter. Lol. Caz x

Morning Sue
Very nice, very classic!

Hi Sue, lovely CAS card today and straightforward video. Sadly I don't have any of these dies :-( but I do have lots of others :-) so may be able to adapt the design.
Several heavy snow showers this morning but the sun is shining at the moment so hopefully it won't get the chance to lie for too long.

Good morning Sue
I always love watching your videos and today's was no exception. The finished card had a real classic look. Like you say fab for either sex, but I do lean towards the masculine element.
I am so happy with all of my recent collection, they cut beautifully even centura pearl which it my ultimate favourite card stock to use.
Thanks for sharing.
Lots of love

Hello Sue, Beautiful card and another inspiring video thank you so much, I always enjoy your videos they give me confidence to think - yes I can try that. LOL
Sorry didn't leave a message yesterday, your card was stunning. Was at daughters looking after children and as I said before her Internet is rubbish, by the time we returned home I was only fit for bed.
Thank you for all your inspiring ideas, take care, love Brenda xxx

Very nice, I'll certainly watch the video at the earliest opportunity to see just how it's done :)
Afternoon Sue and all lovely Wilsonettes. After the most horrible day yesterday, spent this morning resting and lovingly mounting my new dies on my fab bargain of 6 A4 magnetic sheets for 5.00 so they are all looking safe and well now ready to enjoy. I have SO much to learn about using my dies so will watch your tutorial for this gorgeous card when Mr L takes lady 4 paws out in a little while, can always concentrate better when its quiet !!
Thank you for your video tutorials my brain seems to absorb the tips and techniques so much better ( must be an age thing ) !! Poor old soul lol.
Hoping your time at market was enjoyable Janet, it must be so lovely.
Oh Theresa, you poor thing, I do hope you are not suffering to much, im sending very gentle hugs to you today.
To all our friends here under the weather or feeling low please take as many comforting hugs as you need.
Hoping Mason has settled well at home Cam and bringing you all love and joy.
Leaving you all with lots of love this cold January day.

Love black and white combinations. It's an elegant card.

Another technique that we all forget we can do. Thanks for reminding us about it. You've made a lovely card using one of the Gemini dies. I have the Lyra so will certainly be giving this a try. Hugs to all in need of one today.

Fabulous embossing Sue, love this card and the Gemini collection!
Beautiful! I love the hint of pattern paper behind the die cuts! A great masculine card too! TFS!
Hi Sue, a very elegant card today and I agree with Barbara when she said it would make a very good masculine card. I quite often forget that the dies can be used for embossing only when needed. I think I need to go and play :). As always, thanks so much for sharing with us. x
Beautiful..
Love the card today Sue, will watch the video later, have theis border die and it is great. Craftihappiness to everyone and love from Macky.
Very elegant card...I would agree that it could go either for a male or female...
I like how you combined sereval dies to make this card.
Well done Sue
My computer isn't cooperating today, so I didn't get to watch the video, I will try again later. I haven't tried using the dies to emboss yet, so this one is very interesting to me. I love when you present a card we can use for the men in our lives, as I always have trouble coming up with any ideas. Thank you, Gail
Great video Sue
Hi Sue,
Great card today. Love the Gemini dies and I really like how you have just used this to emboss with. I never remember to do this, must get into the habit of trying this. Having said that, when I have tried, it always seems to cut as well!!
TOB, good luck with the ultrasound and hope you're not in too much pain. It must be awful for you. Steph, hope yesterday wasn't too bad.
Love and hugs to everyone, Alison xxxx
Lovely card today Sue and I really enjoyed watching your video. I must try some embossing again as I already have enough colours to start a shop!
Thank you for reminding me.
Lesley S x
A great video. Super card that has reminded me to look again at my dies and try just embossing them for a different look, thank you for the inspiration.x
Lovely Card Sue!
I love the embossing technique with the dies, but it's something I forget about doing.
Thanks for the video and sharing you wonderful inspiration.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Very appealing.
Hi Sue this is such a beautiful card. Thank you for the video. Enjoy the rest of the day. Hugs Jackie
What a lovely card. The embossed edge is beautiful and with the hint of colour really stands out. Very pretty without being over fussy.

Hi Sue My Dear Friend,
First I Wish To Say I'm Truly Sorry For Not Commenting Yesterday But I was ill In Bed Once Again, The Card From Yesterday Was Very Beautiful.
The Video Today Was Really Great Very Informative Thank You For Going Through The Tips And Techniques In Such A Detailed Way, I Loved How You Embossed The Edge Of Your Card And Just Added A Touch Of Distress Ink To Highlight It I Also Liked The Tip Where You Showed Us How To Create The Tag I've Seen You Do This Before But I Always Enjoy Watching This, I Loved All The Dies That You Used, Sue Thank You For Sharing Your Awesome Card I Loved The Colours You Chose For Your Card, I Appreciate Everything You Do.
Sue Take Care

Hi Sue, This card looks lovely, and the embossing is beautiful.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue,
Bit late today, loved the video, it was very informative as ever. Particularly liked the embossing, like everyone else it's something I often forget about. Today's card is really elegant and I can imagine using something like it for a "Men's" card, they are really so difficult, especially for someone like me who loves flowers, bling and bows.
Yorkie Lass, thank you for yesterday's hugs, really appreciate them.
Craftynanna, Ros and Theresa(TOB) gentle hugs for you.
Wheely Bad, wish I had your cushion!!
Sam Smithard, hope you are feeling a bit better.
Love and hugs to all
Saba
Brilliant tutorial, thanks very much. The finished card is gorgeous.
Hi Sue lovely card great video
Denise X
love it. the kind of colours i really go for. great use of the dies, hugs xx
Hi Sue,
I'm a bit late again! Not my fault today. We have had Internet connection problems and so just managed to check in now!
Haven't seen the video as yet as this seems to be a step too far for this delicate connection but will try later.
The card is lovely and uses the die my friend gave me as part of my Christmas present.
I have been really getting into Pinterest and it is lovely to have somewhere to readily access favourite cards.
Hope you are well, Sue and having some relaxation.
Love to you and all on the blog!
