A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi crafters! We are using our Scandinavian dies and the Carina Gemini die in today's video card. I'll show you how to make some very realistic looking ivy too with the Trailing Ivy die.
The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue and all great card and video, love your sparklers as a finishing touch too. so glad I am home now and can catch up on the last couple of videos hope you are having a lovely holiday Muriel x
Good morning Sue Lovely card, great idea to colour the ivy but an idea we can take and use for so many things, thanks for sharing. I love using your Gemini dies they are a joy to use and always look fantastic whichever way you use them. Hugs x Heather T
Good morning Sue, To use your words - "I think your card is lovely" too. Your ivy looks amazing coloured like that and the little bit of white shading, so clever. Adore the tiny flowers, I think you have developed a new species, flowering ivy. Enjoyed the video thank you.
Sheila you are in my thoughts, loving hugs for you and Nikki. Wheelybad good luck at the doctors. Steph thinking of you. Lynda thank you for thinking of us, Val continues to make really good progress.. JESS HAPPY BIRTHDAY XXXX
Good morning Sue today's card is stunning. I am looking forward to watching the video later when I get back from work. Have a great day today. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue. Love todays card. The green of the ivy and the purple of those tiny flowers ad the perfect splash of colour. Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care x
Morning Today's gift is pure Royalty. Everything from your deepest plum colours on the base plate to the tiny tiny flowers with their pearls just shout sheer elegance. I would be over the moon to receive such a gift at any time of the year.
I put my best foot forward (well that's how the saying goes) yesterday and started my version of an 'Izzy Bag'. So today I have to just make a handle and do the finishing bits. But first it's a trip to the surgery to have my annual bloods done. At one time it was work that got in the way of crafting now it's medical visits. lol.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow. We have a little sunshine this morning and thank goodness the strong winds have dropped. Janet x
Hi Sue, stunning card just love it. Lol lynne m x x x
Please wish me luck as today is bath day for poochies ready for haircut tomorrow. If it goes as normal then the bathroom and myself end up wetter than the poochies. Once they're done its time to rub themselves all over the settees and to run around the house madly. I think it must be water on the brain!!!
Take care everyone, lol and massive hugs lynne & soon to be soggy divas x x x
Hi Sue. What a great card today. I really enjoyed watching the video this morning with my cup of tea. What a great idea to colour the card before you cut the ivy! I would cut it then colour it and would get in such a mess and pull all the leaves off! Hope you are having a fabulous holiday. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Muriel lovely to have you home again xxx Jess happy birthday xxx
Hi Sue - a simply amazing card again. An excellent idea to colour the card first, would never have thought of doing this! The video is so explicit, thank you for yet more brilliant ideas. Best wishes YvonneMayxx
Great card again this morning! Love the way you coloured the card before cutting out the leaves - would not have thought of doing that! Great video! Many thanks, Janette x
Good Morning Sue I will watch later as always ! I must use the Ivy more it seems to be at Christmas with the Holly but seeing this card ...maybe not! Take care Love Marg
Very ornate offering for today, the stick pins give it that extra oomph. Not sure I would put trailing ivy on mine though, makes it more like a Christmas card. Sheila and Nikki, sending you extra cuddly hugs, thinking of you always. Saba & Val, hugs also winging their way to you, I'm pleased Val you are making such progress. Baby steps, one at a time, mind. Steph, you're almost home flower, take things steady my dear. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS. I wish for you to have a day that's happy and bright. For all blog friends in pain I hope your day will be kinder. Hugs Cheryl xxx

Hello, what a lovely card. I think that pop of green on the ivy just makes all the difference and the white is so sharp in contrast. Fabulous. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Hi Sue Beautiful card, love the trailing ivy yet no matter how many times I cut it it never makes it unto the finished card Hugs and best wishes everyone Pat
Morning Sue.WOW this is a stunning card. The colours are so striking and a great mother's day card. Thank you for a great video and the tip on making the trailing ivy with your distress inks. Hope you are well relaxed and enjoying your break away. Take care everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Hi Sue I just love your dies and cards and videos. I have almost all of your dies. The attention to detail and the way they all work together is just wonderful. I love working with them. I always look forward to seeing your creations and check YouTube all the time. Thank you for giving so much of yourself.
Hi Sue, a stunning card today and although I don't have any of the Gemini dies (yet) I will try something similar with other border dies that I do have. Great tip about mixing the Distress Inks to get just the right colour.
For anyone interested, ivy does have flowers although they tend to be white/cream rather than Sue's gorgeous purple ones and they are very important for bees in the autumn.
Lynne - hope you manage to get the divas wetter than yourself. Jess- Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day. Frances
Gorgeous card Sue. Love how you did just a touch of colour. Great tip on the ivy and love the beautiful stick pin. My stick pins and beads arrived yesterday and am anxious to start making some. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sue, Beautiful card and very helpful video! I do love the ivy die and have used it over and over again. The embossing on the leaves is beautiful . Made me get the gilding wax out! Jess - happy Birthday - hope you have a lovely day. Sheila and Nikki - lots of love and caring hugs coming your way. Steph - praying you get home very soon. We miss you. Saba and Val - lots of love and healing hugs coming your way Val! Have a good day everyone . Love Myra xx
Hi Sue & Friends, beautiful card, don't have this die but will try with one of the others. Beautiful day here today, shame have to work. Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
This is s stunning card. The colours are gorgeous, so rich. It really is a beauty Hope your holiday is everything you wanted it to be. Lots of love Jo xx
Late today - will read comments later. Gorgeous card, Sue, love everything about it and glad you take such good care of the little swirly guys! Will be using my 'prize' Carina on a Mothering Sunday card for my 102 year old aunt - with some touchy feely bits as she sadly can't see too well any more. Both her daughters pre-deceased her, life ain't fair.
'P' in Wales
EBOSSER (Cut 'n' Boss) - would appreciate some comments please Wilsonettes - yes or no? Blasted dislocatd shoulder playing up and hard to wind GC handle now! Thanks.
Hello, Sue. Loving the new die collections. I am waiting for my order from Joanna Sheen, always takes a little more time to come to the States. So glad the Trailing Ivy is in my order, because I really love how you used it. I think it will be another go to die for me.
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes, This is a gorgeous card Sue and i love the ivy. I bought the Greek border corner and tag set because i just love the ivy of that set as well. It is lovely to see the dark plum colour coming through the white which dilutes it's strength a bit but still makes an impact on sight. I hope that you are enjoying your holiday up north and the sights that you can see are second to none. I hope that you are lucky enough to see the Northern Lights as they are truly spectacular but can be elusive. Jess, a very happy 21st with V.A.T., i'm just not telling what the rate is set at ;)I hope that you are having a lovely day and that you are very well treated. Sheila, i am still thinking of you and Nikki flower, i hope that you will soon feel stronger but give it time. Sending you both hugs my dear friend. Wheelybad, i hope that your doctor can do better for you than mine can me. Sending you hugs as well and i hope that you are climbing up the path to being a bit better again soon. Steph, sending you hugs and hoping that if you are being bad you at least enjoy it but try and be good so that you can come home again soon. Lynne you have to catch them first which is easier said than done flower but good luck and no slipping on that wet floor ;) Saba, i am so happy that your much beloved sister Val is on the recovery road quite a distance now and hopefully she will be out of hospital and home again soon. Sending her hugs to get well with. Well we have had really all in all a lovely day up here at the Ochils with a minor shower of rain only. My bulbs are coming up in the garden and is bringing Spring closer and closer with the nights drawing out again which is wonderful. "P" in Wales, i have the ebosser but i find it temperamental as to whether it will work or not. It also cuts through the very thin embossing mat mines which when i spoke to a lady using it up at SECC on Sunday she asked me not once but twice, if i was sure i wasn't putting in the wrong combination of plates as she has never known that to happen. She also said that it must be the die that i am using fault, but since it does this with any die i have used on the dashed thing, it can't be all of the dies are faulty, can it? Any way i looked at the new sizzix plus that is coming this month and with ease i can turn the handle with one finger. A lovely smooth action and when you consider that i originally bought the ebosser because of difficulties in turning the handle you might want to have a try before you buy and see if it won't be better for you and you could still craft if there was a power cut but that just might be me being craft daft/mad through and through. Hah well that is my tuppence worth but others might have a different opinion on it flower. Sending hugs to all my angels both on blog and not at the moment, Love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue and everyone, Beautiful card Sue and thank you sooo much for the tutorial video. I had a great day with Julia and managed to keep up and made three cards yay!

This is what I personally would call a very pretty card. As usual love your colour co-ordination and think the green ivy with the purple/maroon is fab-u-lous!!! Have most of these dies/embossing folders so will be having a go at this one.
PS. Started playing with the hat pin embellishments - again just beautiful.
Hi Sue, just relaxing after work by having a look at you post. This card is so pretty and the colours are stunning. I really like how you've shaded the ivy and paired up with plum coloured flowers. I especially like the recessed the Copenhagen die for the centrepiece and I love the Carina die, it looks like a row of angels. Happy Tuesday - Deb C x
Very pretty, the ivy does look great with inking and I am looking forward to watching when I get to bed tonight. It's a thoroughly stunning piece and sure it'll have many admirers.
I hope my Wilsonette friends are all ok, Steph, hope you've had benefit from the hospital. Hugs to all those struggling at tbe minute. Sorry I've missed all your news, I've been feeling very tired again and had more double vision and headaches than usual which makes reading very difficult but I have got the hang of watching two TVs! Hoping for a call any day now to say my new glasses are ready to help with that. I had a nagging feeling yesterday morning about the date of my doctors appointment and checked- next Tuesday! Thank you for my good luck messages though, I shall hold on to them until next week.
Sorry it's brief, trying to rest as much as possible, cards to make!
Big crafty hugs to Wilsonettes everywhere, extra special hugs to those having treatment, recovering, ill, injured or in any sort of pain. May tomorrow be a better day!
Good evening Sue and all the ladies. This is truly beautiful Sue. I hope you are enjoying yourself. Look after yourselves ladies, and love to those in hospital, those about to go, those having tests, caring for someone, or who are lonely. Maureen xx
Really a cute card. You have changed your pins again! they are twisted. Like them. Sat watching TV and made a whole load of hatpins...so therapeutic!! Thanks again.

Wheely Bad, I hope things start to get a bit better for you soon. Lots of love from Tres x x x
Lynne M, I love reading about your little doggie Divas !! My doggies do exactly the same antics as your when they have had a bath !! The house is in chaos as they are both running around like looneys !! We have to quickly lock up the dog flap to stop them rolling around up the garden !!
Jess, I know it is quite late now but I hope you had a lovely Birthday today. Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x
Lots of love and hugs to all the Wilsonettes today especially those who are unwell or in pain, love from Tres x x x

Morning Sue.WOW this is a stunning card. The colours are so striking and a great mother's day card. Thank you for a great video and the tip on making the trailing ivy with your distress inks. Hope you are well relaxed and enjoying your break away.
Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.

Such a striking, bold border, it really makes a card.
Hi Sue
I just love your dies and cards and videos. I have almost all of your dies. The attention to detail and the way they all work together is just wonderful. I love working with them. I always look forward to seeing your creations and check YouTube all the time. Thank you for giving so much of yourself.

Beautiful Card. I really like the effect of the recessed die and the colour. As you say why shouldn't your ivy have flowers. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sue, a stunning card today and although I don't have any of the Gemini dies (yet) I will try something similar with other border dies that I do have. Great tip about mixing the Distress Inks to get just the right colour.
For anyone interested, ivy does have flowers although they tend to be white/cream rather than Sue's gorgeous purple ones and they are very important for bees in the autumn.
Lynne - hope you manage to get the divas wetter than yourself.
Jess- Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day.
Frances
Love the ivy with the purple flowers,

Gorgeous card Sue. Love how you did just a touch of colour. Great tip on the ivy and love the beautiful stick pin. My stick pins and beads arrived yesterday and am anxious to start making some. Thanks for sharing.
Love, love, love these colours you have used today.
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card and very helpful video! I do love the ivy die and have used it over and over again. The embossing on the leaves is beautiful . Made me get the gilding wax out!
Jess - happy Birthday - hope you have a lovely day.
Sheila and Nikki - lots of love and caring hugs coming your way.
Steph - praying you get home very soon. We miss you.
Saba and Val - lots of love and healing hugs coming your way Val!
Have a good day everyone .

Late today - will read comments later. Gorgeous card, Sue, love everything about it and glad you take such good care of the little swirly guys! Will be using my 'prize' Carina on a Mothering Sunday card for my 102 year old aunt - with some touchy feely bits as she sadly can't see too well any more. Both her daughters pre-deceased her, life ain't fair.

Very pretty card Sue xx hazel
Beautiful card, Sue...loved the video too with the full explanation of the whole process. Thank you for that....xxx
Hello, Sue. Loving the new die collections. I am waiting for my order from Joanna Sheen, always takes a little more time to come to the States. So glad the Trailing Ivy is in my order, because I really love how you used it. I think it will be another go to die for me.
It's very pretty, strangely - I think I'd prefer it without the bow ;)
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a gorgeous card Sue and i love the ivy. I bought the Greek border corner and tag set because i just love the ivy of that set as well. It is lovely to see the dark plum colour coming through the white which dilutes it's strength a bit but still makes an impact on sight. I hope that you are enjoying your holiday up north and the sights that you can see are second to none. I hope that you are lucky enough to see the Northern Lights as they are truly spectacular but can be elusive.
Jess, a very happy 21st with V.A.T., i'm just not telling what the rate is set at ;)I hope that you are having a lovely day and that you are very well treated.
Sheila, i am still thinking of you and Nikki flower, i hope that you will soon feel stronger but give it time. Sending you both hugs my dear friend.
Wheelybad, i hope that your doctor can do better for you than mine can me. Sending you hugs as well and i hope that you are climbing up the path to being a bit better again soon.
Steph, sending you hugs and hoping that if you are being bad you at least enjoy it but try and be good so that you can come home again soon.
Lynne you have to catch them first which is easier said than done flower but good luck and no slipping on that wet floor ;)
Saba, i am so happy that your much beloved sister Val is on the recovery road quite a distance now and hopefully she will be out of hospital and home again soon. Sending her hugs to get well with.
Well we have had really all in all a lovely day up here at the Ochils with a minor shower of rain only. My bulbs are coming up in the garden and is bringing Spring closer and closer with the nights drawing out again which is wonderful.
"P" in Wales, i have the ebosser but i find it temperamental as to whether it will work or not. It also cuts through the very thin embossing mat mines which when i spoke to a lady using it up at SECC on Sunday she asked me not once but twice, if i was sure i wasn't putting in the wrong combination of plates as she has never known that to happen. She also said that it must be the die that i am using fault, but since it does this with any die i have used on the dashed thing, it can't be all of the dies are faulty, can it? Any way i looked at the new sizzix plus that is coming this month and with ease i can turn the handle with one finger. A lovely smooth action and when you consider that i originally bought the ebosser because of difficulties in turning the handle you might want to have a try before you buy and see if it won't be better for you and you could still craft if there was a power cut but that just might be me being craft daft/mad through and through. Hah well that is my tuppence worth but others might have a different opinion on it flower.
Sending hugs to all my angels both on blog and not at the moment,
Love and crafty hugs

This is what I personally would call a very pretty card. As usual love your colour co-ordination and think the green ivy with the purple/maroon is fab-u-lous!!! Have most of these dies/embossing folders so will be having a go at this one.
PS. Started playing with the hat pin embellishments - again just beautiful.
Great card today Sue, will watch the video later, the ivy looks stunning.
Craftihappiness to all and lots of love from Macky.
the ivys look so realistic
Hi Sue, just relaxing after work by having a look at you post. This card is so pretty and the colours are stunning. I really like how you've shaded the ivy and paired up with plum coloured flowers. I especially like the recessed the Copenhagen die for the centrepiece and I love the Carina die, it looks like a row of angels. Happy Tuesday - Deb C x
Stunning card love the colours sue. I have several of the Gemini dies, but not this one.xx
Very beautiful card Sue. Looking forward to watching the video this evening. Hope you are enjoying your cruise. x
Beautiful Card Sue!

Stunning card - I have these dies so another one to try. Thank-you Sue. Hope your holiday is going well.
Hi Sue
Very pretty, the ivy does look great with inking and I am looking forward to watching when I get to bed tonight. It's a thoroughly stunning piece and sure it'll have many admirers.
I hope my Wilsonette friends are all ok, Steph, hope you've had benefit from the hospital. Hugs to all those struggling at tbe minute. Sorry I've missed all your news, I've been feeling very tired again and had more double vision and headaches than usual which makes reading very difficult but I have got the hang of watching two TVs! Hoping for a call any day now to say my new glasses are ready to help with that. I had a nagging feeling yesterday morning about the date of my doctors appointment and checked- next Tuesday! Thank you for my good luck messages though, I shall hold on to them until next week.
Sorry it's brief, trying to rest as much as possible, cards to make!
Big crafty hugs to Wilsonettes everywhere, extra special hugs to those having treatment, recovering, ill, injured or in any sort of pain. May tomorrow be a better day!
