Hi crafters! Another quick sample from the Weekender shows. This card features the Beaded Fanfare Pinpoint embossing folders. I just love the incredible texture that you get from these folders, they are just so tactile! I used a piece of taupe card and ran it through to emboss it, then cut it into two pieces to use at the top and bottom of my card. I used scissors to follow the pattern along and cut a scalloped edge on one side of both halves. Next I used Enchanted Gold gilding wax and rubbed it lightly over the embossing. You can see it just catching the light in some of the close up pics below. I added mounting foam to both of the pieces and attached them to a piece of milk coloured card. I stamped my sentiment (from the Amazing Sentiment set by Cr. Exp.) on milk card and heat embossed it in gold detail embossing powder. I cut it out with the oval from the centre of the Scandinavian background die and used Antique Linen ink on it before removing it from the die. I cut a Scandinavian tag in soft vintage gold card and backed my sentiment with it and attached it to the card to the right side of the channel created by the scalloped edged background. I cut several of the Trailing Ivy in vintage gold card and glued them into place across the channel as well. I finished the card with a milk card mat with a paper pierced edge, a thin gold mat and a wider milk mat layer. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size.
I will be doing the drawings for the winners of the latest die releases and posting it later on today (hopefully by around 3 to 4pm), just have to take care of a few things first! Please don't forget to check back to see if your name is on the list of winners! All for now, Sue x

Hi sue and crafty crew
This is so very pretty. I'm gonny have to get a couple of those embossing folders they are so very pretty an the detail is amazing.
Goodluck everyone in the drawings today xx
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, it is Friday the 13th today but there is nothing unlucky about your creation today, I am so excited about the new embossing folders, mine are due to arrive today and I will certainly be having a play, I am so loving the way you have used this one, I have some large scalloped edge borders and will see if they match the design as I am not very good with cutting out, also love the touch of gilding wax to enhance the design such a great idea. But then again Sue you are full of great ideas. I hope to see you at Ally Pally again this year, I am ordering my tickets today.
Good luck to all the winners of the blog compo for each of the new dies.
Have a great Friday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
GM Sue. I love this folder. Its on my want list. The craft show yday was good. Several stands had your dies in pole position and they were selling like hot cakes I am pleased to report. Some did come home with me and I can wait to have a play especially with the weaving dies, am hoping you will be demoing with those next weekend so I use them correctly! Oophs typo above! Should be can't wait to have a play obviously. Happy Friday Wilsonettes
Hi Sue and all
Love this EF and the gilding was shows it off to perfection, ivy is lovely, so many dies and folders - decisions decisions ....
Muriel x
Morning Sue. Good luck dear Wilsonettes. Stubby little finger's crossed for you.
I thought how simple but classie this card was last weekend. P in Wales is right, it does look like those beautiful swag theatre curtains. And how it shimmers with the guilding wax. I have an old recipie wax that just refuses to play even when my heat tool had heated it up, must get a replacement soon !
After a horrible day with a horrible tummy, then drinking a big jug of vile muck to enhance MRI pictures Ive woken feeling slightly more human ! Didnt realise how 'off colour' I felt until just now lol, slept from 7pm - 10pm then crawled into bed feeling dreadful. Haho another day begins, so I will send my love and hugs to you Sue and to all my friends that visit today.
Love you.
Lancashire Steph xx
Good morning Sue,
Wow! another stunner, I love the new Folders. They certainly give a wonderful effect.

Gorgeous card! That embossing folder is one of the best I have seen in a long time... bound to become a favorite!
Hi Sue, such gorgeousness, love the trailing ivy die, will just have to wing its way to my house. Thanks for sharing your creations. Lol lynne m x x x
Well hubby home again thank goodness ( doesn't do well around needles!!!)- 2 fractured ribs and a chest infection. On 5 different meds to help with pain so up early to start the pain meds round. His little princesses won't leave his side unless its for me to feed them or let them down the garden. It really feels like mum has been relegated to servant role as they only want hubby to smooth & cuddle them. They are definitely milking the situation as much as possible. I think they forget that once hubby is fit and back to work they will only have me at home with them.
Take care everyone, to all in pain or need sending oodles of hugs.
Lol lynne m & dastardly devious divas x x x

Lovely card Sue and just adore these embossing folders. Now funnily enough I received my order yesterday so I can have a go at this card later. Fingers crossed for the draw will look back later. Hugs xx
Good morning Sue,
Such an elegant card. The beaded fanfare embossing folder is gorgeous and the gold gilding wax on the embossed card gives it a lovely shimmer, not that the beaded fanfare needs any enhancement, it is beautiful in its own right. The Scandinavian tag cut out in that lovely soft vintage gold card gives it the look of a metal embellishment and the trailing ivy adds a lovely finishing touch to this gorgeous card.
Steph, glad today is a better day for you.
Sam, good luck today.
JEAN, many congratulations on the birth of your precious granddaughter Tess, no wonder you are over the moon.
Love and hugs for all

This card is beautiful. My pinpoint embossing folders arrived late yesterday so will be having a play today. Think this has a very deco influence so this particular folder is very versatile. Have already used the ivy dies on a card and they a absolutely stunning.
morning Sue
I have to say that this folder is at the top of my list for my next purchase - I really fell for it on your shows last week and as you probably know by now I love Art Deco and what a way to remind us of that era. You showcase it here beautifully and reminds us that Efolders can also be the main aspect of our cards. I have your first Pin Point folders and they are the ones that I go to on a very regular basis. I have some gilding wax which I bought ages ago and so I hope that it hasn't gone off now you have wet my appitite. I hope you have managed to get a little R&R in this week Sue.
Steph - I hope your MRI went OK and that you're not too exhausted this morning. Have just read your post and pleased you're OK this morning.
TXCowgirl - I prefer to use photo glue as it gives me (in Sue's words) a little more wriggle room before it sets. I have used double sided tape in the past but it really is your personal choice.
Norah - Unfortunately the things I was taught in school eg Cookery and Needlework just do not exist any more more's the pity. Hope your evening class takes off as I know they could not have a better teacher. It just goes through me when I see how things are just thrown away because someone cannot sew a button on. It doesn't help when certain chain stores use slave labour across the world and sells cheap. Sorry rant over.
Sam - good luck for today.
Well it's Friday and as I'm here in Sheffield no market for today and therefore no pastries either. Did my housework yesterday after my hairdresser had been so I think it's a crafting day and as I've only a couple of bday cards left to do for March I can have a little play.
To all in pain or suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
I loved this card when I saw it on the show But I just know I wouldn't be able to cut the embossed piece as neatly as you! Edger dies please that match the embossing folder! I like the idea that it has depth but not too much so it should post ok (with an extra piece of card over the top to protect it
Morning Sue
Love this card, I have the ivy die, just need the embossing folder.
Fingers crossed for later.
Gail C x
Lovely card, I'm hopefully going to the Hobbycraft show in Glasgow next month , so saving my pennies to indulge myself there and get a couple of these fantastic EFs etc.

Good morning Sue & friends
Today's card is gorgeous, one of the truly "outstanding" cards from your shows last weekend! The gilding wax just brings the card to life, making the card look like expensive satin/silk material, the descriptions of theatre drapes are spot on! Your designs are always so perfect Sue, you do seem to know exactly what we would love to use!
Thank you for another serving of inspiration, hugs xxx
Lynne M, you must be exhausted playing nurse, I do hope your hubby is soon on the mend, our pets certainly seem to know who needs their love the most at times, it's as if they can sense that we may need that extra attention! make time for yourself to rest and recuperate too Lynne, it's easy to get carried away and then end up in bed yourself, sending you huge hugs xxBella & Milo send 'paw hugs' to your 'devious divas'
Steph, plenty of R & R today, glad you are feeling a little brighter than yesterday, fancy a coffee? 😉
Sam I will be thinking of you today my lovely, I hope it's all over super fast and you are back home being looked after,call in later for a catch up! Hugs xxx

Very very Pretty card for today Sue, the EF is gorgeous and on my next to buy list.
Saba, Our family reunions came about in 1997 when our American cousins decided to celebrate their family connections as the only other time they all met up was for hatches, dispatches and matches. So hence was born the idea of a 5 year family reunion. The first one in Birmingham was because our ancestors originated from Blacksmith stock in the Midlands area. My great great grandfather had two brothers who emigrated to America in the 1800's, met their wives, married and had families.
My paternal grandfather George and nanny Mabel emigrated to Australia in 1957 (with the advantage of the, at the time, £10 assisted passage payment) taking with them their youngest son (there was a big age difference between my dad and his youngest brother). My aunt Brenda, their daughter and her family, followed a couple of years later.
My dad was in the army so we didn't get to go, but my sister and I did go to live with Nan and Granddad for almost 3 years when my father was posted abroad to Nigeria. The reason being that we were too young for boarding school in England and there were no schools for the over 10 year olds in Nigeria in the early 1960's unless you went private. My sister being already 10 and I was 9, so to save splitting us sisters up, we went to Australia.
We also have a family branch in Germany. My Uncle Rodney (dad's brother) met and married a young German lady when he was stationed there. They have two sons. Quite a bit of history our family has.
As always, gentle healing hugs to all those who need one.

Morning Sue, beautiful card, love the colours you have used, so classy! The pinpoint embossing folders are so lovely, my wish list is growing! Kind regards Janet k xx
Another great looking card, I don't think I have ever disliked any of the cards you show on your blog. Am unable to buy these A4 embossing folders as much as I am liking these as I do not have a A4 Die cutting machine but hopefully in the future I may be able to invest in one. Kind regards Sandra Kent.
Fantastic card today Sue, love the fanfare embossing folder, the ivy is just lush and I do have this die now so can cut some out, the gold card is looking fab, craftihappiness to all and love from macky.
Morning Sue,
A simple but so beautiful card and I love how you have cut the embossing to form a pretty gap on the card. Would never have thought of this.
Hugs to all who may need them and here's to many brighter days ahead.

This is so beautiful Sue. I don't know how you come up with a different idea every day. Wish I had some of your creativity.
Love Val in Spain x
Good morning Sue and fellow wilsonettes,
Love the white and that soft gold Sue combo as it just works a treat together. I was thinking that you could design a die to match the bottom of this cracking embossing for us mere mortals that can't cut into this shape that easily. I love the ivy but missing your bows or flowers at the top of it which you normally finish with. Thank you Sue for a beautiful card and i can see that this folder is rapidly becoming one of your all time favourites.
I got my shopping from my normal on line Supermarket but when i got to the strawberries that i had ordered they had wednesday's date on them, now i know that we like strawberries a lot but come on there was no way i could eat 750grams all in one day. Anyway i thought i am taking these back as i could just imagine them the next day and sure enough yesterday i had little furry jackets on a lot of them. Kirsten forgot to lift them so i went in last night with them. Not one pack of strawberries to be had in the whole store. The lovely lassie on customer service desk was really good though saying that was there nothing that i needed in the fruit and veg aisle as she was swapping it and giving me a £2 voucher as way of an apology. I ended up getting mum and dad two big bouquets of flowers with some red roses in it for them which she gave me the money of the flowers and the gift card towards payment. I can hear mum the now shouting as she always thought flowers were a rip off at this time of the year and how a bunch of daffs would do the same job. I don't think i will be ordering fruit and veg again online though as i think i got the oldest lot in the warehouse delivered.
Steph flower i do hope that you are feeling better today from yesterdays ordeal or nightmare depending on your point of view. And if you slept for those 3 hours and them climbed into bed and slept through you badly needed the rest. I know that you have a lot to get done for the market but please try to take it a bit easier, please.
Oh Lynne i am sorry that your hubby is in such a bad state but i bet he is glad to be home and his little princesses are just guarding him incase someone tries to hurt their daddy. Isn't it amazing how they can sense when someone is not well and there is something wrong. So no little swipes or digs at their daddy while they are on patrol(lol). Hope you are feeling a bit better even wearing your waitress get up to serve his lordship hand and foot while he recovers.
Jean, i am over the moon on the birth of your beautiful baby granddaughter. I hope that both mummy and baby are well and soon home although if it is anything like Forth Valley Royal they fling them out in under 6 hours if it is a first and 3 with a second or more. My friends daughter got flung out at 23.45 with her first baby. Wishing your precious family love and sending hugs to you all.
Sam remember tell him you don't want panorama pictures, portrait will do just fine. Hugs flower.
Well this mist is down at my beloved Ochils today and i think it will be a day for being in the house somehow after i have been up to talk to mum, dad and Jim so i will see you all tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue, good card, I do really like the versatility of the ivy die. I have used it on many cards since buying it.

Wow...stunning...I just LOVE that embossing folder....so many beautiful details on this card! I have a few of your dies coming my way this week...I can hardly wait to get them!!
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
Great card today Sue, reminds me of when I used to go to the Music Hall with my mother.
I'll be back on later to read everyone's posts as my granddaughters had a sleep over for Teacher Training Day, and my time isn't my own.
Hope everyone has as good a day as they can. Love to all who are unwell, in pain, caring for someone or who are lonely. xxx

Love the effect that the gilding wax has on this card. Will definitly have to practice this technique.
That's lovely :) (so hard to type with fingers firmly crossed for the draw later!)
Hi...just love the trailing ivy die and that embossing folder, so pretty. What a lovely card you've made today x
Hi sue, thank you so much for sharing the beautiful card, I am totally smitten with the Fanfare Pinpoint embossing folders. Again, thank you.

Beautiful card! I love that embossing folder! I like how you used the guilding wax and the gold embossing powder. I just love the Ivy and tag around the sentiment. Thank you for sharing!
Where can I get the embossing folder?
Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue, beautiful card. Love the way you've used the embossing folder. You've made it very clear that the ivy and tags dies are essential (at least for me, lol). Love and hugs,

What a fabulous card, Sue. I think the use of the ivy with the scalloped embossing folder is just magical. So opulent and romantic - I hope you have someone special to give this one to. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Hi Sue,

This is such a beautiful card! I love the texture from the embossing folder you used and the shimmer from the wax.

stunning card but the embossing folder is even more stunning going away to find it on the comp. and buy it lol. xx
Very pretty! Love the detail of the embossing folder.
Good afternoon Sue,
Beautiful card I bought the ivy die and it is so nice to have another idea on where to use it.
Love the way you have used the embossing folder.
Good luck to everyone
Hi Sue
Such an elegant card, I love all the new release embossing folders and trailing ivy is a favourite, so pretty and ripe for snipping! I nearly have my wish list written. This show I'm going to tomorrow is so close to some of the major ones it doesn't attract many major retailers so fingers crossed they'll have any of your dues or EFs. If not I'll be ordering online soon as I get home! I love the gold and white, the gilding wax is so subtle.
I won't get to Ally Pally in April because of a family celebration but there's a very good chance I will get there September or to the ExCel at the end of the year as long as logistics to get to station can be sorted. My mum is interested in coming, maybe I'll convert her too!
RE GILDING WAX if your wax has gone hard get some gilding wax solution, its by Creative Expressions for their gilding wax- I can't remember if it uses the cosmic shimmer branding. You drop a little of the solution- Which does smell strongly of alcohol- onto the wax, do up the lid and leave it overnight, its a solvent that softens the wax and you can do some quite cool effects mixing colours etc too. Solvents will soften wax and when you open it again it's usable. Sure there are better descriptions elsewhere online and its not expensive, a little goes a long long way so for roughly the cost of a new wax you save your old ones. Very good product.
Jean, congratulations on the birth of your granddaughter xxx
Steph, hope you feel better soon, I've had the same done and it's unpleasant to say the least. Hot water bottle for tummy if it feels sore works wonders xxx
Sam, hope hospital went ok xxx
Theresa (TOB) Hope you aren't in too much discomfort xxx
Lynne M and divas, Billy very impressed with level of dedication to hubby's recovery, hope he gets better quickly x Billy very very clingy when I'm bad, even to extent he pulls Mr W round the evening walk to get back to me, they know...! wags and woofs xxx
Hugs to Wilsonettes everywhere, good luck in the draw later and would love to see lots of familiar names! Special hugs for all those who are poorly, in any, sort of pain, having treatment or are in recovery, extra hugs on tap and big dog woof and wags to all the crafty dogs out there from Billy (asleep on my blanket!) Have a good weekend, if I don't blog over weekend it's because I'll be tired so please don't worry.
Hugs,

That embossing folder is so versatile. The card looks wonderful, as usual.
Sue, A beautiful card, I did manage to watch this on my I pad whilst on holiday, arrived back early this morning, just the jet-lag to get over. I love this embossing folder with the guilding wax. Must get back into my craft room and play.
Steff, hope you have recovered a little today and huge congratulations to Jean P on your new Grandaughter , you'll never have any money now, we are looking forward to our first great grandchild in April ( a little boy) could not help but buy him lots of goodies whilst away:) hugs to all, Linda.
That embossing folder is so nice...I can see many use with the folder...your card turned out really nice
well done Sue
Hi Sue,
This is a really opulent embossing folder...I think I really need this one :). It almost doesn't need anything else on the card but the ivy die cut just sets it off a treat, and what a good colour card you've chosen. As always, thanks so much for sharing with us. x
Loving the different layout, that pin point folder is so gorgeous.
Stunning card love how you cut the scallop.
Hi Sue
What a beautiful card, I really must get hold of the ivy dies.
Steph' I hope you are feeling better and a lot warmer today.x Gentle hugs.
Kind Regards :-)

You could use this embossing folder as theatre curtains! A lovely card.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Anne (Northampton)
A wonderful design, love the colour and that stunning embossing folder. I was so pleased to see that you have added to the pinpoint collection.x
Beautiful card, Sue. I don't have any of your embossing folders yet, but really do like this one. Will have to take a look at all of them.
Never have heard of gilding wax before, and not sure if it's a product here in the USA. There seems to be many products you have there which we don't have. Am seeing some very interesting new items from the British hosts on the new Create and Craft TV USA, yet not all are available to us here. Sure wish we'd get a little of Sue and her products. I wrote and asked them, or begged them is a better description, to have her. Maybe someday they will.
Ecco, thank you for your reply, will have to search out photo glue, another one I've not heard of.
Cheryl Brown, you cracked me up, love, love your phrase "hatches, dispatches and matches". So funny, and so appropriate, it took a minute for me to interpret, but what a great description.
Best of wishes for the contest, wish we could all win. Just having Sue to design and share though is a winning situation.
Hi Sue, I just HAD to get this embossing folder, it's simply
stunning. It arrived today, so I shall be busy in my craft room first thing in the morning. Thank you for another stunning card using this folder.
First chance today I have had to come on here. Congratulations to all the winners of Sue's dies. Love today's card. That embossing folder is top of my wish list. Might have to wait until Ally Pally.
Love that guilding wax...makes such a difference
