Hello crafters! Today's card is actually a bit of an optical illusion. It isn't just two square die cuts that have been offset and over laid at all. You will have to watch the video to see exactly how it is done (I'm not telling! LOL)

Busy day today so will watch video later.
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to all
Love Tina x x x x x
Good Morning, Sue, Pam and everyone.
A very ornate looking card, but not two die cut squares........I'm intrigued , Sue.
Will definitely watch video later!
Hugs to all,

Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes will be watching the video in a little while when hubby gets up, I so look forward to your videos. I am loving the colours you have used today as well.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue.
Thank you the video is great, and the card is so pretty I must look out for the pearl corners. Take care all Kitty.
Thanks for another great video, Sue, what a pretty card and clever use of the squares. Love your new little corner blingies, too, and of course the felt floral embellishment.

Norah - your jumpers sound terrific, you should post some pics! Perhaps Kirsten will change her mind when next winter comes.
Morning Sue.
Thank you the video is great, and the card is so pretty I must look out for the pearl corners. Take care all Kitty. Forgot to say good luck all for the lucky draw tomorrow
Hi Sue. A wonderful card in a gorgeous colour. it is so pretty, and the way you have used the die cuts is so clever.
No news yet, I will let you all know as soon there is any :)
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care
Morning all, well you've done it again Sue! This is such a clever and useful way of using those square dies. I have this die set and I'm going to try this today. You must lie awake at night thinking up all these ideas, I don't know how you do it but I'm very glad you do!! Love to everyone Sarah
Good morning Sue and everyone. I'm intrigued by your description, can't wait to watch the video but I'll have to wait until after work. Sue xxx

Hi Sue
A very pretty, clever card. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs.
Morning Sue. This is a very pretty card and a clever way to use your dies but then that is no great surprise when you are designing your cards. I wonder if you get any sleep as your mind must never rest LOL. Your videos are a great insperation to us crafters as you explain everything so beautifully and then you give us all the hints and tips to recreate your gorgeous cards. Must try and find some of those beautiful pearl corners and your stick pins are always lovely.
Still very cold outside so take care and wrap up warm everyone.
Best Wishes and Good Luck for tomorrow.

A lovely card and a clever way to use the dies to give a different look.

I'm afraid the card is a bit fussy for me but I will still watch the video later for the techniques.
Anne (Northampton)
Such a pretty card - enjoyed the video!
Hello Sue, lovely delicate card, fab colours, and a great tip on using the die a different way, as always a great video, they are so useful for reference, I went back to one in 2013, as i remembered something you had done, that I wanted to do. Thank you for the inspiration. Have a good day. Bx
Morning Sue, Beautiful card love the colours, thanks for sharing, Junex (Cumbria)
Beautiful card today. Love the technique using the two square diecuts-fantastic results.
Michele
Hello Sue
A beautiful card. I find this flower easy to do and it always looks as good as yours. A clever use of the square dies. Have you got a tutorial on how to tie a 'messy' bow please? Mine are just messy! Lol.
Love
Roz.x
another little stunner sue
Good morning Sue
You certainly make us look at our dies in different ways so that we get more out of them. You had me fooled with how you did today's card I thought you had just threaded the two together, how wrong was I? Lol. The new corner pearls are fabulous and I can't wait to get my hands on them. The flower, stick pins and colours you've used are gorgeous. Love today's video and card thanks fir sharing.
Hugs x
Heather T
Morning Sue, This is very clever and definitely will try, not sure it will look as good as yours. Love the colour today.
Love Rosemarie xx
GM Sue. Clever technique. Off to a local craft show today and hope to find your dies there... Could be an expensive day maybe!
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes. Had this sussed just by the picture, illusion ? Just two of the same dies just one placrd in a different direction, I do it with some of the dies I own ! OH HOW WRONG can one Wilsonette be lol... Watch and be fooled like me lol. Blooming clever Sue. Like other friends have said "when does your brain rest" ? Beautiful card Sue, Im not the first to mention this but are you considering bringing your stick pins to us in different variations in little boxes to make up, I think they help to put that little final touch to your cards, but I just know I wouldn't be able to feel the tiny weeney little pearls or beads to make stick pins (but I can dream)
Off for my MRI this afternoon, so had my last coffee at 6am and that's it (until they make me drink a full jug of vile gunk) to help show up my tummy !! Urgh revolting.
So I send you love n hugs for today, and good luck to our Wilsonettes for the draw tomorrow. Watch the numbers rise again for the day) !!!
Have a good day everyone.
Lancashire Steph xx

Good Morning Sue
Mrs. Pam Glad to see you back
Love, love, love, this card is very pretty.
The flowers is one thing I would like to try but I still practicing the paper flower and with one hand is very hard I got hurt and it is not very easy working or craft with one hand.
Sue Have a wonderful day
Ladies enjoy your day
Hi Sue - beautiful card and one of my favourite colours too. I don't know how you manage to think up so many amazing ideas - the video explains it so well. Love the stick pins and flower too. Have a great day, best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Lovely card Sue ... Happy crafting..x
morning Sue
You really know how to start my day. I couldn't ask for more than a visit to your lovely craft room and the most beautiful gift. I love everything about today's gift - the colour; the dies you have used (and here I really must say a big thank you for your tip of the day.)It's a wonderful way to create a square. I still haven't tried making flowers today's way so I think it may be time to have a play I would love to add another of your Gemini dies to my collection but just cannot make my mind up. So again you may just have done that for me. I have fallen in love with the new pearl corners and will definitely be on the hunt for them.
Mrs B - your new baby is really teasing us all but as Mum used to say 'babies will arrive when they are ready' so will try to be patient.
Steph - good luck with the MRI. today.
Well as I said yesterday I started having a tidy up in my craft drawers and did I throw loads away - did I heck!!! I did sort out a good few pieces of off cuts for one of my Knit and Natter friend's grandchildren but other than that well you can guess can't you.
It's my hairdresser day today and fortunately she comes to me so perhaps I can get a little crafting done before 12.00noon.
To all in pain or suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

I Love The New Pearl Corners Another Great Product From Creative Expression.
I Love The Effect When You've Cut The Beautiful Lace Like Die, Making It Look Like A Petticoat At The End Of Your Card, Fabulous Felt Flower, And Such Beautiful Stick Pins.
This Card Is Just Stunning, Opulent, And Very Rich, I Just Love It.

Hi Sue
This one is a bit busy for me but could still use it for the inspiration with slightly fewer dies, so it still gets the thumbs up. As usual your colour combo is beautiful and would love to have access to all the beautiful hat pins and accessories that you have!!!
Morning Sue, beautiful card, love the colours, the dies are gorgeous. I am waiting for news of my 8th grandchild being born, my daughter-in-law is being induced today so hope I have good news to report tomorrow. Love Jean xxx
Hi Sue and everyone,
Oh my what a beautiful card. Great idea for snipping the dies, love the felt flower and the stick pins.
Very informative video as always.
Hugs to all who need one.
Thinking of all who are unwell or those with loved ones not well.

Hi Sue pretty card and great video
Denise X
Very pretty card,I will watching the video in a minute.
At last I can get back online, don't know what was happening with my computer but message kept telling me Google had crashed and promptly threw my computer off.
What a clever way to create the optical illusion on your card. So pretty.
I've bought quite a few of the new striplets so will be playing today to make an engagement card for the daughter of 2 very dear friends of mine.
After that will be busy contacting all my relatives here and around the world with more details of our Downing (maiden name) Family Reunion this July. We have held them every 5 years since our big one in 2000 which was held in Birmingham where my family originates from. 2005 was in Minneapolis USA: 2010 in Melbourne Australia and this year's in Bristol.
Pete and I were elected to be the hosts which Pete was really looking forward to. It is now being held in his memory so it will be very bittersweet for me.
Still cold here in Cannington and NO fog that has plagued us for the last few days.
Stay safe and warm everyone and enjoy lashings of hugs coming your way from me to you.
Good luck with your MRI scan Steph

Hi Sue,
Brilliant video. You are such a clever lady, always coming up with innovative ways to get more from your dies and this tip was genius. I love everything about the card and your stick pins and felt flower are fabulous. Please consider doing a Sue Wilson Stick Pin Kit, maybe a pack with coordinating felt strips, or even a whole package, with matching card stock as well. Sorry, getting a bit carried away the idea of it all!!!
Sam and Steph, good luck today with the tests.
Cheryl, your family reunion sounds amazing, are they family you have found through research? So sorry Pete won't be there in person to share it with you, but he will be there in the thoughts and recollections of all your family from your earlier reunions and I hope that will bring you some comfort on the day.
Love and hugs for all

A very beautiful card and the lavender colour is my favourite. I think maybe you demoed. the technique before but will now check on the video. So cold today am going to set about using your new dies I received yesterday. They look lovely especially the Noble ones and the delicate fronds which I am sure will be so useful. Happy days Maureen

Hello Sue, you caught me out good and proper. I always look and try to work out how it's been made, and instantly thought well it's two of the !!!, wrong, and I love it when I am wrong as it just grounds my thinking that famous sentence" I know" is how it starts. Thank you Sue for such a beautiful card and the ability for us to accomplish it too. X Ros
Love the videos Sue. Thank you for the time and effort you put into them. It's like having a personal tutorial. Clever use of the dies adding even more options for our cards and lovely colour combination. Kindest regards Judith ( Moran ) x
Hi Sue
What a pretty and beautiful card today. Really love the colours as well as the inspiration of cutting into dies and making other shapes.
Lol Barbara W
It is absolutely gorgeous Sue and such a brilliant idea.
Another lovely card. Watched the video. Very clever. Must get some square dies. Like the flowers as well. All in my favourite colour. Cast on my wrist is purple and when I went back to have it X-ray yesterday the lady said I was all co-ordinated as was wearing purple jumper. Was glad I could have that colour.
Hi Sue
Love the card, I don't have your die,but i have a different square one so I hope you don't mind if I use that to make a card. Ithink the sample you showed in the lilac colour is more striking than the pale bue you used in the demo.

Very clever use of the die and how easy is the felt flower and the finished result is a beautiful card yet again.

So clever Sue! You must not sleep at night thinking up all of these great ideas. Lovely card, I'm not sure if I like the lavender or blue one better.

Good evening Sue and fellow wilsonettes,
i loved this card when i seen it on Youtube Sue as it is such a small thing to do yet makes such a difference and makes yet another kind of card altogether. The white with the lilac and the spiky chrysanthemum with the beautiful hat pins just finishes it off lovely. Thank you Sue for bringing a beauty like this to our eyes and minds and giving us the inspiration and the permission not to feel guilty to cut them up to make new ideas come to fruition.
I went upto my friends last night because she has been wanting to learn to knit for long enough and although she has been shown in the past and it has been ripped out and down because she hadn't done it right she asked me if i could teach her. She can only knit and purl at the moment. So armed with a 99p how to knit set up i goes. She can now cast on by the knitting way but that doesn't matter the now as i will teach her a better way once she gets the hang of it. So casting on, ribbing, increasing, making buttonholes, and normal knitting she acheived no problem and has a big beeming smile on her face at doing it. I have left her to knit to the decreasing part of the mitten when i will tell her how to decrease and cast off. It is so nice to see someone look so chuffed to bits at something i just take for granted because i have always been able to do it. Her daughter has put in her request to her for an aran cardigan with Goofy on the back of it just like mine. I told her that might be a tad in the future but who knows if she will be seriously bitten by the knitting bug as she still has the sewing up to do and she can't sew either. She has always if the button or hem came down on something thrown it away instead of a needle and thread, awh well her throwing away days are gone and the lassies are going to be taught how to sew as well. I can see me having a wee crafts club on a Wednesday night with Ann, her daughters and one of their friends and not one knows how to even start with a needle and thread. What are they teaching kids in at the school these days?
Anyway that was my good deed done for the week but it was nice to see someones face light up with such excitement at what they had done by themselves as i never touched it once.
Have a lovely night Angels and see you in the morning,
love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)

lovely card. great optical illusion and flower, hugs xx
Love this beautiful card! Love the optical illusion technique. I haven't cut up my die cuts much but I think I will give it a try and see what I come up with. Loved the video! Thanks for sharing!
like all you can do with the dies
Hi Sue, Great video as always. Thank you so much, you always bring us the best.
Beautiful card love the colour and the felt/ribbon embellishment is gorgeous.
Take care, love Brenda xxx
Hi Sue
A really beautiful card, will watch another time as I've looked and had a couple of ideas on what you done. Such a pretty colour too.
A little brighter again today though not much energy still, my PA and I had a game of scrabble and it's the most energetic thing I've done all week! Billy was so well behaved today, no attention seeking, no jumping up... I think after 5 months he's finally used to the idea that for 5 hours a week (between the PA and the cleaner) he isn't my sole focus- rich coming from a dog that otherwise sleeps all day!
2 more sleeps til the show, will be writing my shopping list tomorrow
Steph, hope all is well with your MRI, hugs and crossed fingers xxx
Big hugs to everyone, plenty extra if they're needed.

Hi Sue,
Beautiful card and I have these dies so I will have a go. I love the video's I find it so much easier watching you demonstrate rather than reading how its done.

Hi Sue,
Very clever idea, thanks for the video showing how you did it...I tried doing this over/under arrangement once with some Spellbinders fancy squares but it didn't work because the shapes bow as you've said...but now I know the answer to that problem!...

A very clever way of using the square dies, beautiful card Sue, thank you.

I love the way you have used the frame in such an ingenious way.
The pearl corners look great
Thank you for the demo.

Hi Sue and everyone
What a great video and a beautiful card
I love the corner pearls and I would never have thought of doing that with the squares very very effective
I need to look at my dies and do just what you have done play with the cut shapes
Take care everyone

Hi Sue and everyone!
Fabulous card. I love the die's and how you make them look like they do. Fab colour combo and the flower with those nice stick pins,fabulous!
Steph-hope you feeling ok after the hospital?
Sam- thinking of you today,hugs.
It's been a long day so I'm sending warm hugs to all Wilsonette's!
Take care Many Hugs Maria x
Love the way you snipped the die to use it in a way we probably wouldn't have thought of, very pretty. The little felt flower was just adorable, will have to try this.
I have a question, I've noticed how you always use double sided tape in making your cards, and wondered if there was a reason you specifically use this method? Do any of you card makers on here use other methods? I ask because in the US ATG guns are the preferred method with most scrapbookers. Card making is becoming more popular here now, but we scrapbooked more in the beginning. So, I wondered if we should really not use the tape guns in favor of the tape? Just wanting opinions.
Gorgeous card. So pleased you did a video of this one. I love your stick pins.
Great technique and grat video!
HI SUE
