Hi bloggers! I just love this technique. It was on the Stamping My Style video that I did years ago in fact. It is a rather short video (by my standards at least! LOL) I hope you can take a few minutes to sit and enjoy it!

Beautiful card, Sue., just lovely
Hugs to all, have a good day.
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, a lovely card today, the technique is enjoyable to do, time consuming but turns out really lovely, I think the secret is the accurate measuring of the strips, I have made 3 cards using this technique. Hope your resting up Sue.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue
A lovely card. I havenot tried this technique but will try it out soon.
Hi Sue. We have finally got back online after having major problems with it since Sunday. I have missed my daily "fix" of your beautiful cards and everyones comments. You have used some of my favourite techniques this week so I have lots to try. I have loved all of the cards and todays is another gorgeous one, I love this technique, deciding on which colours and pattern is great fun : )
I am so glad to hear that you are going to have a real break away from your computer, I hope you have a wonderful time. It would be lovely to see some photos when you get back : )
Sheila, my deepest sympathy to you and Nikki.
Pat S Witney, special hugs to you my lovely friend, I hope you are feeling better today,see you later x : )
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Hello Sue
What a lovely card. Such an interesting technique. I have done Bargello in patchwork but didn't think of doing it on a card.
Love
Roz.x
GM Sue. Great card and fab video although I notice you are wearing a plain brown top and not your trademark patterned ones. A change of style perhaps? Hope you don't mind me commenting on this, no offence intended obviously, but I don't think I've ever seen you wearing a non patterned top before in all the years I have followed you! Anyway, hope you are having a restful holiday.
Must try the technique. A very effective card. Thanks for the idea and good to have a video to refer to.

Hi Sue & Friends, lovely card, have your original dvd showing this technique, but still have not tried to do.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Hi Sue,
I remember you doing this before and made a few cards myself using this technique, it's fun to do isn't it, even if a little time-consuming...
Like how the open circle makes a focal point without hiding too much of the background...
Izzy
Good morning Sue,
Another of your wonderful cards showing a fantastic Technique. Keep saying I will do this but never have. Today might just be the day! Off to watch and learn, it is amazing what you do learn from your informative Videos.
Thank you for all the time and effort you spend helping us.
Have fantastic day wherever you happen to be today.
Hugs

Hi Sue, lovely card, I havn't tried this before so will have a go, thank you Karen M
Beautiful card, and Great Video! I am not a quilter but have made a table runner using this technique ( from remnants of curtains from previous houses) which brings back lovely memories, so it would be fun to try on a card, and I just know the person a card like that would be perfect for , so thanks for the idea!
Going to the Glasgow Hobbycraft show today, so I'd better get a move on.
Love and hugs to all xo
Lovely quilting look card.
Lovely card Sue xx hazel
Good morning Sue
I'm having problems connecting to the Internet this morning I've had to do it through my phone. So I will have to watch the video later when hopefully I'm back on line.
I remember this technique and have tried it and lloved it. I used up all my scrap card that all of us seem to have and not use. I love today's card.
Hope your having a fabulous time.

Hi Sue, great card, forgotten about this technique. Will have to look at your dvd again for more inspiration. Lol lynne m x x x
Fur babies safely curled up on the settees after being scared silly by a large dog charging at them over the park this morning. Tilly barked and barked and ran round and round me , so grabbed her collar to put her lead back on, but unable to find Cully. My heart was in my mouth as a main road was close by with our house on the other side. Guardian angels were looking down as found Cully cowering between several trees. Called her and thank goodness she came running to me even though the large dog was still around. Got them home just in time cuz my legs started to shake. Gave them some crunchy dog bickies as a treat, calming down now but I know it will take awhile before I can get over what could have happened to Cully.
To all in pain or need my devious divas send oodles and oodles of muddy paw hugs x x x
Lol lynne m & dreadfully dastardly devious divas x x x
I so love this card. I struggle with male-style cards and this fits the bill beautifully. Thank you so much for all your inspiration

I remember you doing this technique a couple of years ago in purples and lilacs (my favourite colours) It is super effective and creates a wonderful background. Love the card you have created with it today.
Have a great day.

Beautiful card Sue, hope you are enjoying your holiday
Good morning Sue,lovely card again and the colours are beautiful hugs Jane B.
How unusual! Like the look of this, so unusual. Off to my craft room now to watch video & have a go!
Lovely card.

How are the fjords?
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue , Love the card and colours so pretty .love Jean Z xx
Hi Sue,
A lovely card and an informative helpful video. feeding the card through the reverse side of the guillotine ensuring the strips were even was a lightbulb moment for me, but a bit scary watching it - there was no finger guard - but held on to the thought that you wouldn't show it if it all ended badly lol. Hope you are having a fabulous holiday.
Pat, enjoy your "three Graces" reunion, get well soon.
Steph, try and keep the guilding flakes out of your hospital bed!
Love and hugs for all

Good Morning Sue, I saw this and thought "How do you do that?!" This is a very clever technique and makes a very pretty card. I must give this one a try. Thanks so much for all the tips & tricks. Have a great day, Deb C x
Hi Sue,
When I first looked at this card I thought lovely card but I can't be bothered sticking all those little squares on to card, LOL

Love Janet x
from Wakefield
Morning Sue. Thank you for another great card and video. This is a lovely technique and i think it would be great for those men's cards that i always seem to struggle with as you just have to change your colours. Hope you don't mind me saying but i have been watching some of your video's and you are wearing some beautiful tops, and that style really suits you and i hope you are having a great time on your holidays and soaking up the sushine.
Best Wishes.

Hi Sue, a great technique. Have watched the video which I enjoyed. What size are the strips?
What a card! But it looks like hard work, and I don't like hard work! In this case though, I think I could be persuaded. Will watch the video first. :)

Hello Sue, and all the ladies.
I hope you are on your way and having a good time Sue.
I've followed your DVD and used patterned papers for Birthday and Anniversary cards, but never thought to use plain papers and embossing - doh.
I love the effect of this technique.
Have a good day everyone. xx

Interesting technique today. Was thinking this would make a perfect mens card if you take away the flowers and put something else in it's place. Also a good one to experiment with different colours.
I love the look - something I've done myself many moons ago :) I'll look forward to watching it later. Thanks.
Good morning Sue & Wilsonettes

Haven't watched the video yet - will watch with my granddaughter when she comes home from school. She doesn't like to miss it. Did something like this at Christmas with ribbon for a table mat. Like the card. Would probably do it in purple and lilac. Enjoy your cruise.
Lovely Card Sue!
This is such a versatile style, so useful for many occasions (male or female). I like the colour theme and your floral finishing touch.
Thanks for another fab video.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X

Hello Sue,

Take care, lots of love, Brenda XXX
Fab card not sure if I have the patience but who knows maybe one day xx GailT xx

That background would also be ideal for a male card.
Hi Sue - this card looks really attractive and I will certainly give this technique a try. Hope you have a great holiday, it is well deserved. Regards Shirl
Now that's nice!!!!! Definitely striking and different and the reason I went for some of the New York Collection as I saw the quilting effect then and wanted to have a go with the Times Square die.
Love this technique! Wish I had seen your video before I did some a few years ago - your way is much, much easier!!! Thanks, Susan x
Lovely and probably beyond my patience limit!

Good afternoon Sue, beautiful card, I have yet to see the video on this, it looks intricate to me, but perhaps after I watch the video it may prove different.
Hugs to all Dorothy xx
Thanks for sharing this technique. Very lovely. I also love the flower and am going to have to get that die, if I can ever catch it in stock!
Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card. Love the technique and colours, now off to try to do the same.
Di B x
Beautiful card, Sue. I made a similar card using lavender, purple, turquoise, teal and gray. I used a 1", 3/4", 1/2", 1/4" stripes. Made up beautiful. My strips weren't the best cut so they didn't match up perfectly like yours. It would probably be easier if they were all the same width. I'll have to try using all the same width.
Hi Sue
Catching up with your blog this afternoon . Haven't been on line as have been at the cabin and there is no Internet there.I do miss seeing your blog daily but have the chance to catch up with it today while having my coffee
What a beautiful card Sue i have tried to make a similar one but don't know what i am doing wrong. But with having your Video i will be able to watch it and then make the card while having you all to my self in my craft room.lol
Thank you Sue for the Video
Take care
