Hello my crafty friends! Today's card was a bit of an experiment in partial die cutting. I was having a play with my
Complete Petal Camellias to see if I could use them to create a border. It is just a nice way to give a sort of whimsical look to your card. I started by embossing the centre section using the
Cross Stitch Pinpoint embossing folder for texture. Next I lined up several of the
Camellias in a variety of sizes on a piece of
coconut white card. Before cutting them, I placed two pieces of white card underneath the edge of them so that those areas would not cut through completely, thereby giving me an attached strip for each of my side borders. I scored the edge and then glued it to the centre embossed piece, one border on each side. For the focal element, I cut the
Stockholm die out of white card, then backed it with a pretty tanzanite colour (from my stash). I cut the
Copenhagen in both white card and tanzanite card and offset it slightly to look like a shadow. I nipped this in half and mounted it under the
Stockholm die, just peeking out from underneath. I stamped my sentiment in black and cut it out with the
Oslo die centre. I matted it with the
Stockholm cut in Tanzanite card. The card was then finished with a white paper pierced mat, a thin tanzanite mat and a final wider white mat. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

I love the positioning of the flowers - so cute
Beautiful design Sue, love the flowers and how you have incorporated them in the design, beautiful,hugs Carole Z X
morning Sue
A beautiful gift today in a very calming colour palette. Today's colours remind me of a warm summer's day with blue skies and white fluffy clouds. Something we need at the moment.
I love your idea of a flower border and must try this. Once again Sue you have shown how to create out of the box which makes our dies go much further.
No crafting for me today - Mr E had his INR check yesterday and it was down so he's going back this morning for another check and see the Dr. They wanted to see him again next week so it's fingers crossed time that they come to some arrangement and we can travel on Monday as planned. I also have the second half of my annual MOT this morning so again fingers crossed that BP is OK and my blood results have come back.
I've a feeling it's going to be one of those days!
To all under the weather and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Great new technique. Gorgeous card love the colours!
Hi Sue. Hope you are feeling better. What an inventive way to use your Camelia die and it looks so pretty. We are so lucky that you continually look at new ways to use the dies as it defiinately helps us to be more creative too. x
It works really well Sue!
Good Morning Sue & friends,
I love the look of today's card, whimsical or not, I love the "Wedgwood" look, there is something so right about blue on white, I think it looks so clean and fresh, thank you Sue, I hope you feel a little brighter today, hugs xxxxx
Sam & Theresa, you are in my thoughts and prayers, you are both very much missed, please get well soon xx
Tandy & little lamb Brenda, I hope that you are both ok and can join us again very soon xx
Sheila & Nikka, sending love and hugs to you both xx
Goodness me so many of our lovely ladies missing at the moment, mind there are some really nasty bugs around at the moment. The mild winters just don't kill off all the germs I don't think.
Well my girls have been on Work experience this week at their old primary school, they started the week finding being coughed on, sneezed on, you name it they were frustrated by it, but this morning (their last day) they are feeling sad as they have to say goodbye, so they went off with tissues at the ready, only half day today though as they break up for Easter, yay two whole weeks off! I love having the home, so one happy mummy here!
Well I must go pop over to the cafe, se what they are up to in there!
Love & hugs

wonderful card Sue
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes from a lovely sunny Lancashire (for now anyway) I'll send some to Sheffield lol.
WOW WOW WOW Sue, this is AMAZING, but like P I need to read and.re-read your instructions, Im so thick I dont understand lol I know, how easy can it be, but this is ME that's reading this not someone that has more than 1 brain cell as I have lol I must admit to not cutting my camelia petals fully when my card has moved, but I reacon I can 'hide the half petal with the open petal and 'hide that under a properly cut petal ! Its called 'bodging' its good cuz you'd never guess whats hiding beneath the bouquet focal point lol is that naughty ?
Its an absolute stunning card Sue, Cr. E have to get that tanzanite in the colour scheme please, its so rich looking.
I do hope you are feeling better Sue, please let us know how you're doing now : )
I thought Id never see Debs. A mention her wonderful Wednesday give away, well done and enjoy.
Cam, I have to say how much we miss hearing from you its rather worrying. To Sam and Theresa, hope you are both starting to pick up a little, to our other dear friends that are struggling with life, my love and thoughts are with you.
Whatever your plans for the day, hope its a good one or as good as it can be for you all.
Sending love n hugs.

Hi Sue, I love this card, and although I may not have these dies, the beauty of your collection allows us to use the dies we have and adapt to make similar, which is what I will be doing. X Ros
This is a great effect I think I've worked out what you mean but a video would be handy Hope you're feeling better

Great border Sue, I would never have thought of using my flower dies in that way. It's so good seeing all your ideas. Thanks.
Hope you're getting better Sue? I love what you've done with this card. I think I need a video to see exactly how you did it, my brain doesn't always get written instructions!! Really want to try this so perhaps I should just go for it and see what happens! Love to everyone, Sarah
Hi Sue. What a pretty card and as for the border, just brilliant! SueL x
Love the card sue and the colours are lovely thank you love to all June horrocks xxxxx
Good morning Sue and fellow wilsonettes,
This is a lovely card Sue but the brain has not registered just how you could do i with such small dies. I know how to do it with bigger ones, but these have stumped me. I love the tanzanite blue that you have used as it is so striking behind the white but what are you trying to do to us Sue.....no bow, pins or dazzlers to be seen. Still think it is cracking though so thank you for testing out or metal again with your ingeniousness. I hope that you are improving dear friend, but i also hope that it is not going to diminish your wonderful holiday and the sights that you saw. Sending you hugs to wrap around you just to let you know you are loved.
Well i only have a chilly day today after yesterdays snow that totally covered my beloved hills, today you wouldn't know that it had been. the sun is shining at least and there is more pale blue than white in the skies above, oh if only it could continue.
Janet flower, i have everything crossed that i can for you both today. I should have been for an MOT myself a few months back but since there is nothing that they can do, i don't see the point in wasting their time nor mine and since i need to get the appointment a fortnight in advance i never know just what i am going to be like to be able to go. It's ridiculous that you need to give them 2 weeks notice that you are going to be ill, but that is how daft our surgery has got because there is only one decent doctor who knows what he is doing and actually cares about what is wrong. The rest are in it for their wages at the end of the month or are these above everyone looking down their noses at what is causing your problems so wont treat you because it is self inflicted. Me, if i lost weight i would be a lot better, would still have Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Fibromyalgia and Acute Reynaurds in hands and feet but i would be thinner. Dohh, if i could lose weight i would but the tablets that i am on put weight on you and they don't have any others that would work and not make me gain weight, so tell me how i do it. Ohh they make me so mad because i would dearly love to be a size 10 again but some how i don't think it is going to happen. Anyway Janet i hope that all goes well today for you and Mr E so that you can escape on Monday as planned.
Well i will taking my greetin' moanin' coupen off and leave you all with hugs for all my angels both on blog and not, my thoughts and prayers are with you,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Absolutely stunning, love the background of the centre panel x
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. I love that you show more inspirational ways to use your gorgeous dies.
Brilliant border idea Sue! I love it (and the rest of that card too, LOL)
Are you better now? I hope so.
GENIUS idea! Definitely giving this a go! Thanks for sharing this beautiful card and the new idea with me!
Hope you are feeling lots better today! Another bowl of virtual chicken soup headed your way just in case along with some orange juice for the Vitamin C! Toodles!
Hi Sue
Gorgeous card that colour is so striking is it a lilac/blue
Love the flower effect the Stocholm dies really do stand apart so beautiful
Nubiene x
Lovely card, I'm going to have to read it over and over to completely understand it ;) (could be needing a video tutorial???)
Hi Sue, a lovely card.
Hi Sue,
Hope you are feeling better. Love how you have used the flowers on this - very clever! I would never have thought of it!
Janet, hope things go well.
Norah, know exactly what you mean about having to know in advance that you're going to be ill!
Off to hospital now to pick up my aunt so it will be good to get her home.
Love and hugs to each and everyone of you. Xxx
Interesting technique used today. I love the way you experiment with your dies Sue. It sure does make me look at my dies in a complete different way.
Just gorgeous, love your technique you have used. Love using dies to their fullest, that way the pay for themselves.
Hazel x
As usual Sue beautiful card, you are so talented and the periwinkle dies are so cute. Well done Crafty Regards Julie kay xxx
Beautiful, I love the flower border idea.
Hi Sue, love the card and the tanzanite blue is gorgeous. I had to read the instructions twice and greatly enlarge the picture before understanding what you had done with the camellias lol please remember that our brains work much more slowly than yours :-)
Hope you are feeling a bit better now.
Frances
Good morning Sue. Lovely card today. Really like the camellia border and will have to give it a play as still a little confused as to how you did it. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Hello Sue and all
Beautiful card. This is such a pretty card. I love your Camellia border and the colours used. Thank you for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi Sue,
You are so clever and the partial die cut is a certain success. It looks absolutely lovely. I'll give this a go, it would look good with the daisies as well.
Hope you're recovery is continuing, look after yourself (I sound like old Mother Hen but I do mean it).
Hugs, Rose
Love how youused the flowers to make a border, looks great.
Yvonne N.
Beautiful. xxxx
Woweee Sue how pretty is this card its a pity i havn't got complete petals, no one seems to have them everyones out of stock, i am looking now for some inspiration i seem to have lost my mojo, and if i can't find it here i must be bonkers lol. love to all Johanna
I think you succeded in making a boarder with the flowers...the card turned out really nice.
Well done sue
Hi sue
Hope ur on the mend. Stunning card and quite a different technique.
I'd love to try it however I've been trying for months to get the camellia complete petals and to no avail. Nowhere seems to have it are they struggling to keep up with the demand for ur wonderful dies???? Xx
Hi Sue, Another stunning card, so Spring like with the flowers on each side. Love it.
Hugs to all
Love Dorothy xx
You make the prettiest cards!
Love how you've done the floral edges on this card Sue - I think I understand the instructions, but if you take U-tube requests, can I ask for a visual demo - I learn so much better from seeing than reading!!! Thanks, Susan x
Hi Sue.
The Tanzanite shade is just beautiful.
I love the whole card.
Love and hugs to everyone.

Hi Sue,

Hi Sue.
Lovely card. The way you have used the flower dies is really a brilliant idea.

Hi And best wishes Sue,
I am only occasionally confident enough to post a comment since everyone seems to know each other very well, but I felt impelled to congratulate you on your ingenuity. I would NEVER have had the idea to create a border out of the camellia dies in this way. I have reread your instructions and I sort of understand where you are coming from, however, could you please consider doing either a YouTube demo or C&C demo next month cos it is always easier to follow when we see the master at work:-)xxx
I like this experiment, lovely card
Hi Sue
Love this card, hope your feeling a bit better today.
Best Wishes
Julie Bee
A successful experiment. Lovely.
Very Pretty Card . xx

Hope you are feeling better and taking care of yourself, thinking of you LOL
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

What a clever technique . Love it and a beautiful card.
Take care, Ivy L xx
You are so clever to come up with using the separate flower dies to make up a border and getting the idea to work! You continue to amaze me with your ideas. I don't think I would have come up with that idea on my own. Thanks for sharing your ideas with us crafters - you enrich our lives.
love this card with flowers it looks so springy
Hi Sue
Very pretty card today, I love the shade of blue you have used. It looks very fresh & clean with the white.

Very pretty card Sue. Only you could think of making a border with the camelia dies, I love it! Not sure I understand how you did it but I will read it again when I am ready to craft again. Still not feeing too good so haven't done much crafting lately.

Hello Sue, and all the ladies,
Sue, this is an inspired card today and I thank you for the inspiration, guess what I'll be having a go at later!!!
Alimecca, thinking of you and your aunt.
Sheila and Nikki, thinking of you.
Sam & Pat, thinking of you also.
I hope everyone is as well as they can be.
Love Maureen xx
Hi Sue
a really clever card, I hope you're feeling much better now. Such a lovely blue colour and matting the dies at 90 degrees is really clever- at least that's what it looks like! The flowers are very pretty but will have to settle for my Spellbinders ones. Will try this layout with some of your other dies.
Special hugs to Sheila and Nikki, Gail and hubby, Alimecca and hubby and Sam S along with anyone else struggling at the moment. Hoping it gets better for all of you.
Lorraine Eastwood, welcome. I came to Particraft having not really socialised with anyone online or anyone much at all bar my partner and family for 4 years as I spend a lot of time at home. I was welcomed and the lovely people on here have given me support at some of my more difficult times, people to chat to, joke with and we all support each other. Please please comment whenever you can- some have been here for years, some like me, haven't but it doesn't matter. Sending you a big hug to say hello xxx
Not in my 'best' form, but knew I've missed a few days as I'm having a problem with one of my eyes but as my neck is in a pretty rough patch it might be that so not hugely concerned as that or recent change of specs may be the cause- giving it til next week. Enforced as Mr W brought home a bug from work for me (thanks love!) I'm not badly ill, but with a fuzzy eye and a gurgly tummy I'm not feeling much like reading on my phone. laptop had to come out today to send in my PA's time sheet so I knew I had to stop by. I've missed you all and would like to wish you all a happy, crafty weekend.
Norah, glad to see you back as I missed you on my last visit. Hugs x
Must go, Billy asking to go outside. many hugs to all of you, have plenty extra if they are needed,

It may be an experiment, but it works wonderfully. Love the whole effect. Think the Camellia flower dies are beautiful and are one of my go-to sets of flower dies as they are very versatile.
Great card and what slovenly way to use the camelia die. I have this die and love the flowers it makes. Hope you are feeling better.
Thanks for the tip, your experiment is really clever and the result so gorgous!! The camelia dies are in my wishlist, love them so much!!
Lovely card. think we need a video on this one!! Lol
Colours are lovely too
Luv

Love this card and the colours is gorgeous and the camelia border is fab (if I tried it I would cut through it all I'm sure) thanks again for making us think 'out of the box' xx GailT xx
Hi Sue, that border is such a clever idea! The card is lovely really fresh and crisp! Hope you are
feeling a little less under the weather! Hugs, Karen x
WOW! What a great idea. Like many other Wilsonettes, I would never have thought about using a flower die as a border. Lovely colours and a great looking card. Hugs Pauline
fancy that Sue. that technique with partially cut dies was just in a craft magazine i was reading. pretty effect. lush tanzanite card, hugs xx
Hi Sue
Wow, I don't know how you keep thinking of all these amazing designs with using your die collections but they're certainly amazing & keep em coming !!

Beautiful card. I'm trying to make a frame only ( without the middle part of the largest die of the decorative frames set B.

Waiting for your response.
Very good idea Sue, I like the look that this technique gives. xx

Hi Sue What an unusual card, will certainly have a go at making somethin similar. Margaret xxx
Good evening Sue,
What a clever idea and something I must try. The camellia flowers look lovely used as a border. Beautiful card, and love the tanzanite.
Hope you are starting to feel better.
Wheely bad, sorry to hear you are having eye problems, hope it soon gets better for you.
Sam, thinking about you and missing you.
Lorraine, lovely to see you have commented. It is a bit scary at first, but you really will soon feel part of this lovely blog. Whether you have commented for years or just joined, everyone is really welcome here.
Love and hugs for all

This is a pretty card, Sue. I like the camellia border you've created by playing :- )
Hope you're feeling better now Xx
Yesterday's card was lovely, but unfortunately I've not been able to view the whole of the video yet, as there have been problems with YouTube :-(
Have a good weekend everyone, whatever the weather. I know wind and rain forecast, unfortunately.
Hugs to you all,

Such a clever idea to make a border from the camellia dies. So pretty. I'll have to try this with another flower die as like so many others I can't track the camellias down anyhwhere. Lovely card altogether.
Lorraine, keep commenting. It's a lovely, friendly, supportive on-line community. I don't know anyone here face to face.
Alimecca, hope all went well with settling your aunt back at home and that you are feeling better. Hope you are a bit better too, Sue.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue, only just managed to look at your post, Mum-in-law aged 92 taken into hospital on Monday, so juggling hospital visits with all the other madness etc, however a slight improvement today, bless her. She is amazing for her age, lives on her own and very very independent. A wonderful example to us all and treasured by all our family. Catching up with your blog each day is my treat and what a treat this card is, absolutely stunning, I hope you make a tutorial Sue, have read your instructions a couple of times but brains a bit foggy at the moment, lol.
Love the colours. Take care all. hugs, Linda
Hi Sue
