Monday 2 February 2015

Thanks

Hi bloggers!  Well I am about 95% sure that tomorrow is the day that I can finally spill my surprise!  Fingers crossed!  For today though, I have a lovely little card made with several of the dies from my third release of 2014.  I started with the Herald Square and cut the largest die in white card.  I used a large Square label die to cut the inside frame area.  I added mounting foam to the back edge of the frame.  Next I cut the Eternal Rings Striplet out of white card several times.  I lined it up and easily cut it to create a continuous pattern for my background.  I place my frame over it and nipped away the excess.  Next I cut quite a few of the Camellia Complete petal out of dusty rose in varying sizes.  I used a white gel pen and added some detail to them with random lines from the centre.  I assembled the flowers by offsetting two and then layering a smaller size on top.  I seated one of the flowers atop a white seam binding messy bow and some white tulle.  The remainder of the flowers were scattered up through the frame.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the tag from the Dainty Rectangle frame.  I added one small flower to the edge and mounted it with foam in the corner of my frame.  I finished the card with a pierced white mat, a dusty rose mat and a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  6 1/2" in size.  Don't forget to pop by early in the morning for my surprise! LOL   All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and everyone, love this card. So pretty. Love the flowers. Think I know your surprise only because other companies have announced it, why can't they let you have the honours.
Hugs to all, stay warm and safe.

Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful card today Sue, I like the way this card is smaller then your usual ones with white on white with just a spray of red on it, looks really nice.

Am so looking forward to tomorrow to see what is coming up.

Have a great Monday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy. hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue.
Thank you a very Pretty card. Other companys may tell what is new, but only you can show us how a bit of metal can turn a piece of card into a masterpiece. Take care all Kitty

Unknown said...

Nice card today - really like the striplet!

Steph Cotterill said...

Hi Sue and all Wilsonette friends. Such a beautiful card this morning. Im so pleased I have this striplet die, I may try cutting it like this to make a background. Wish I had the skill to make the camelia flower look like it had veins, Im sure it would end up looking like a slimey snail had run a mock all over it !
Such a pitty your suprise couldn't remain a suprise !! It does make us angry. Watch blog comments grow during the next how many days !
Hope your journey is a safe one Sue, and also Janet and Mr E as you make your way from France.
Another bitter cold day in Lancashire, but always warm and friendly here at Particraft.
Thinking of you TOB hope all goes well today. Sending much love to all that enter today, stay warm and safe. See you all tomorrow.

Hi Sue. What a beautiful card, using one of my favourite Striplets and those gorgeous Camellia flowers : )
Kitty Davies has hit the nail on the head, I agree that only you Sue has the ability to transform tiny metal shapes into stunning cards, no matter what other companies may do! I can't wait o see what you have to share with us : ))
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.

Gorgeous card as ever, Sue.
I love surprizes and have been waiting for yours to appear with anticipation.
Almost there, sadly I have to agree with others that some craft sites have let the cat out of the bag and are advertising already. Shame on them!!! But then it all about the money for them isn't it?
Off today for one of my complimentary treatments courtesy of Macmillan Cancer support Group, a lovely hour long aromatherapy body massage. Heaven and utter bliss! Will be on Cloud 9 for the rest of today.
Love & hugs to all our wonderful blog family here on Particraft, enjoy your day also.

CraftySuetoo said...

Good morning Sue and everyone. Gorgeous card, I love how you've made a frame with the New York die. As Kitty says, other companies may sell the piece of metal but it's your creativity that actually sells the product as without your inspiration we wouldn't know half of what the dies do.
Enjoy your massage Cheryl. Hugs to all. Sue xxx

Good morning Sue and everyone
A wonderful card and I love the flowers trailing on the diagonal.
Im intrigued about the surprise as Im sure that you know that your new dies are being advertised (I assume the companies were allowed by CE to do that? If not, its very naughty of them).
As Hazel says, will be here everyday, surprise or no surprise lol!
Have a great day.

Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. The colours are lovely and its nice to see a smaller card but still have all the details on. I agree with other bloggers that companies are just in it for the money and they spoil the surprise for yourself but only you can show us what the dies can do. Can't wait to see what masterpieces you have created with your new dies. Good Luck for tomorrow.
Take care everyone it's still bitter cold outside.
Best Wishes.

Can't wait to see your surprise but as others have said a few companies have advertised them already They look great but to see what you make with them is what we're all interested in Today's card is lovely Love your Striplet dies Haven't got this one (yet!) but I can easily see what I could use and adapt it Especially like how you've cascaded the flowers and pure genius adding white gel pen detailing Now where's that white pen of mine...?

Anonymous said...

Good morning Sue,

What a pretty card!...and how versatile is that Eternal Rings striplet..it's on the wish list already as I NEED all the striplets, they're so useful either as single panels or complete backgrounds as you've done here...

I think we all know by now what the surprise is but only YOU can show us what to do with them!...

Morning Sue, a truly beautiful card, it is lovely that all your dies can be used in so many different ways. Looking forward to tomorrow to see how you present your new dies, I know it will be spectacular.

Sandra said...

Good Morning Sue & Friends,
Omg Sue those flowers just sing with the detail added, so gorgeous. Another perfect design Sue, thank you so much. I am so looking forward to your launch Sue, I know that in many cases the excitement has been tainted by some companies 'spoiling the fun by showing your dies"
But the one thing they can't spoil and the most exciting is you revealing how you have used each die, you have your your own way of bringing the dies to life Sue, I just can't wait! Hugs xxx
Well I guess we are going to see the blog post soar as the week goes on, if you are stopping by to view the launch, why not join our daily blog family, becoming a Wilsonette was the best things I ever did, this family is the best, you have a group of people that care about you when your are down, they give unconditional support when you heed it. If there were a perfect family this blog family is it, so please stick around and join us.
Sending out love & gentle hugs to all today,
Sandra xxxxxx

alimecca said...

Hi Sue,
What a very pretty little card. It's gorgeous! Really love the striplet and am lucky to own this one and also the camelia. Mind you I do like the frame and haven't got that one - yet! Will have to wait and see what your new surprise ones are like when you create with them! Looking forward to tomorrow and Steph is right - watch the blog numbers go up and up!
Cheryl hope you enjoy your "treat" today.
Gail, hope things go well with your hubby today.
For those of you that replied after the exploits of the wool, can I just say that Scamp actually isn't a kitten - she's 14! She's the most laid back cat on the planet, daren't go outside and runs a mile if anyone comes in the house- a proper scaredy cat! For some bizarre reason, she has become obsessed with my wool, which I have to say is lovely to see ( except when there's a danger of the knitting coming off the needle as I said before! ) I've made her a little ball out of some spare wool and she's gone crackers with it. Dave and I were in stitches( excuse the pun) watching her last night! It was everywhere.
Well, must go. Off to hospital today with my aunt for a check up. Stay safe and warm everyone. Love and hugs to you all. Alison xx

barbiepinkfairy said...

Love this one. Must try to reproduce don't have camellias but could use daisies I think. Need to do a congratulations card so might reproduce this one!

Cheryl enjoy your massage I could just do with that but I am lucky I haven't been on the journey you have so am not in real need of it.

Gail thoughts are with you and your husband. Cancer is just one horrible journey. Take one day at a time and only deal with what you have too. Hugs xxx

Love to you all. I am looking forward to tomorrow and all the inspiration! Can't wait!

Stunning card! I have the Madison square with the largest die like this and have used it as a frame on a 6x6 card and it is really effective , I love the camelia flowers but don't own them ( can't have them all, pity !)
I agree that the best surprise is seeing how you use the dies and create such masterpieces with them and so we get a surprise everyday , can't wait until tomorrow, I got all the curtains made and hung up so I have time to play again !
Goodluck with your new collection , it does look exciting!

Looking forward to tomorrow Sue.

Good Morning Sue
It is a lovely, bright morning here in West Sussex but very cold and I hope the sun stays out for a bit longer.
I think today's card is gorgeous and I love that Dusty Rose colour so this is another favourite for me to try!
I agree with those of you who, like me, already have an idea of what Sue's surprise may be. It is a shame, but we still have the surprise of seeing what lovely cards she has created with her new products and it will be so great to see her on our screens at the weekend.
Keep warm everyone.

You are such a TEASE Sue Wilson, there are times when I could smack your hand! No, not really, but it is hard when you do that.

Love the card, I capitulated and ordered both sets of camellias. Now I suppose I'm going to want whatever it is you tell us about tomorrow, and I won't be able to afford it.

Hi Sue,
Beautiful card its definitely a WOW, as Steph would say! I don't have the flowers but will try something similar with others. However I do really like them and they are top of my list but they may not be after tomorrow , Help!
So looking forward to what you have is store and like others feel sorry that your surprise was sort of hijacked! However as has been said too - we have the best seats in the house to learn how to use them to their full potential. What more could we ask! All the very best for tomorrow!
Cheryl - I hope you really enjoy your lovely treat. If anyone deserves it you do! Keep warm afterwards.
Gail - hope all goes well for your husband at the hospital today! Be thinking of you both.
Sending love to all lovely friends on the blog!
Keep warm - it is really cold. Children's crafting this afternoon so will venture out! We the staff arrive shivering and saying how cold it is - they run in with pink cheeks and big smiles! I think it's the age gap!!
Lots of love,

Well I'm in the dark on what the surprise might be, so tomorrow will be Christmas morning, so to speak. I was hoping your announcement is that you are going international and your products will be easily available to me here in the US, but I don't think that's it. Yes yes, I know where I can buy them from but not everything is available. I'm still watching and waiting for you to be on C and C US so that I can buy some things from there.

Can't wait till tomorrow. I'll be on early to see the good news.

Hi Sue, What a pretty card for a dismal Monday morning. I can honestly say that I don't thinks there is anything about this card that I don't love...especially the beautiful flowers meandering across the card :).

Hi me again. Just wanted to say thanks to those who wished me well for my ultrasound today, it's not great news as I have a tear in the tendon of my shoulder have to see a specialist to see if I need surgery but the pain is excruciating so I knew it was something awful.
Am more sad that I still can't craft and may not be able too for some time.

Good morning, Sue and fellow Wilsonettes, hope everyone is keeping warm.
Another gorgeous card today, Sue. Simply stunning !! I Will have to see if I can create something similar, using The Times Square as I have the Striplet and flowers dies.
Love the colours on the card too.
I'm eagerly waiting to see what you're going to show us with your "new releases". I shall be placing an order with Ben for one or two? Later :-)

Theresa, sorry you're in so much pain and that the news is not good. Best wishes for a speedy outcome and recovery X

Hi Sue, such a pretty card, I love it. Despite your frequent reminders I still keep forgetting about making a frame to add dimension; well that is going to stop and I shall be attempting my version of this card this afternoon.

Cheryl - I hope you enjoy your massage, you deserve it.
Gail & Alison - I hope all goes well with your hospital visits for hubby and Auntie.
Theresa (TOB) - so sorry it was not better news for you today. Hopefully they won't keep you waiting too long and that you will soon be pain free and able to craft again.

Fingers crossed that Sue can reveal her surprise tomorrow, I am really looking forward to it.

I'm awaiting your launch with anticipation of what you make with them. It's a shame that other companies have let your secret out. I love and hate your launches. I love them because you show us what we can do with them. I hate it that if your doing a giveaway. Hundreds of people suddenly appear on your blog just to win something. Shame on you all, you know who you are. Crafty hugs to to you all and we can't wait until tomorrow.

Gorgeous card Sue. Just love this striplet die. Although I have seen the dies and have my favourites, am so looking forward to seeing you demonstrate them as that is when the real magic happens. It is really too bad that you don't get to introduce them first to the world. So looking forward to tomorrow.

Hi Sue

Such a stunning card today and love the colours too.

Looking forward to tomorrow for the big surprise,I know the cat has been let out of the bag already, and that's not fair to you, but we don't need big surprises, as we have a beautiful surprise here everyday.

Kind Regards to all :-)

Saba said...

Hello Sue,
Fallen in love with this card, so much so, I have spent the day trying to re-create it. You were right, the eternal rings was quite easy to match up and cut out, and though I say it myself, I am really pleased with how it has turned out. Thank you so much for the inspiration, I never could have done it without you.
Like everyone else, I am so looking forward to you showcasing your new die collections, can hardly wait.

Cheryl, hope you enjoyed your massage, you deserve a treat after all you have been through.
Theresa, so sorry to hear it wasn't better news, just hope you don't have to wait so long this time for treatment. Very gentle hugs for you.
Gail, hope the tests on your husband went well and he was not too uncomfortable.
Alison hope too that your aunts check up went well. Hope Scamp didn't get into too much mischief while you were out, her antics yesterday did make me laugh.

Love and hugs for all

Saba

Good afternoon Sue and the wonderful Wilsonettes,
What a pretty card Sue with the beautiful dainty camelias making a splash of colour across the lattice work of the background. Sorry i haven't been around this last fortnight but my CFS has left me totally floored to the point i couldn't even lift a cup, heck knows how me and this baby are going to manage when HIS mother goes back to work. Yes, Kirsten is expecting a little blue bundle of joy, much to his fathers delight. Ryan, is at the moment floating around the ceiling somewhere because to him no-one else has ever been father to a little boy, lord alone knows what he is going to be like when he comes. The two names that she likes for him is Harry(after Ryan's grandfather) or Joshua and then it would be John after my beloved daddy. Either way i don't care as long as she keeps well and her and baby are ok. She has what was going to be babies room to decorate as the spare as the furniture wont go in the original intended room, and baby Harrys' room to decorate. The furniture is getting moved in this week so that will be us with an empty room and a darn sight quieter in the house as you always know when Kirsten is home because of the racket coming out of her room.
TOB, i am sorry that you haven't been great but i hope that you will be a bit better after today's hiccup flower.
Cheryl, i am so glad to finally see that MacMillian are doing something good for someone who needs it. I hope you have had a wonderful day dear friend and that all clear comes soon.
Sue, i hope that your beautiful surprise gets the recognition that you deserve flower. Safe journey home,
Love and crafty hugs to all the wonderful Wilsonette Angels
Norah (Glenochil Village)

Tandy said...

Hi Sue
This card is so special I just love everything. Well I am so pleased to be back. We now have a phone line and internet again it was fixed for a few hours 10 days ago but when they filled the hole in it all went off. Just hoping when they fill the hole in again it doesn't go off again. Next door is still without. I will have to try and catch up with what I have missed and go through hundreds of e mails. Love and bugs to all.

Wheely Bad said...

Hi Sue

Ok, I neeeeeeeeeed that striplet!!! What a lovely card, the colour, the flowers , everything is just perfect!

I agree with the other posters about the launching of your latest collections, and I do also understand the view of the stores that see these items, pre orders are big business for them and the myriad of manufacturers that supply them. I can not get excited about a die until I see it used and those 'first' cards where I see the die package alongside Sue's amazing card here on Particraft are my favourite moment.

I will be watching live at the weekend for all bar one show- my best friend is visiting on the way up to her Mums so sewing is going on hold to make her a card and a gift. This week will be a crafty treat for sure.

Cheryl, you deserve your treat, hope you feel amazing for days after!

Gail, thoughts with you and your husband

Theresa (TOB), that is a very nasty, painful injury. I hope they fit you in for an op soon. I understand totally how boring and frustrating it is when you can't craft. I've gone months without touching a stamp or a die and even a good week allows for just a few hours up the table. It's why I love blogs, You tube, C and C & magazines to keep me going. I wish for you to be as comfortable as possible and that an appointment for treatment very soon is given to you. Very very gentle hugs xxx

To our Sue and Janet Ecco- safe journey back to the UK

Must go, Mr W home from work, Hugs to everyone... one more sleep!

pinky said...

This is pretty, pretty, pretty. I love how you have laid out the flowers.

Karen Drew said...

Strangely yesterday I was playing with the striplet die. I have many unfinished projects using it! I was trying to see how many different things I could come up with. I did Use it in a similar way by cutting it several times. Only thing is mine is still in the very early stages and looks nowhere near anything as good as yours.
I love how you have used it. It looks stunning
Luv

Hi Sue this card is just gorgeous, the white veins on the camelia flowers look lovely, Edwina

Maggie said...

Hello Sue. As so many have said, it's not the product but your inspiration that matters. When we see something advertised in it's packaging we go 'great' but when we see your cards we say 'amazing'! Love this card. Stunning flower work. xx Maggie (better without a bow)

Gail said...

Gorgeous card and luv the frame - I made a card using the circles striplet die as a background for a special friends BIG birthday!! Not as neat looking as yours but she loved it xx GailT xx

Barbara said...

Beautiful card, love the background and the flowers are so pretty.
Cant wait to see what works of art you have made with the new dies! I haven't pre-ordered any as I like to see what you do with them before I decide.

Patricia Howarth said...

Hi Sue, Absolutely gorgeous.

Anne O said...

Hi Sue
A simply gorgeous card! The gel pen is such a simple technique but so effective. Love the background too. I can't wait to see your latest collection - but I'm going to! I'm sure you will bring us some more lovely ideas.
Thank you,
Anne O

Sorry to be so late today, Sue, been one of those hectic days. Love this card, have the Eternal Rings and use it as a background, too, just the matter of careful placement for cutting. Really partial to the dusty rose card, too, and beautiful scattered camellias!
Think some people being a bit unfair about the suppliers - after all, Sue did intend to show the new 'surprise' herself last week, obviously all this was intended to coincide. They have made their investment and are advertising - surely they are entitled to do so without being accused of spoiling things for Sue? Personally, still haven't sneaky peaked because I want to share the thrill with Sue and am really looking forward to seeing the new goodies, presumably over the next few days. Roll on tomorrow!

'P' in Wales

Best wishes and better times to those and their relatives in pain and having treatment.

Hiya sue
Beautiful card.
And like a few others I too have ordered a few of ur larger squares. As I couldn't get the grand squares anymore.
Bests me as to why they don't sell the basic shape anymore when so many of us are in demand for it. However ur new ones should do the trick nicely an as u said in an email to me yours are cheaper an I have to say way nicer too an will look great on my cards in years to come xxx
