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.
Hello crafters! Don't forget you can use your dies to emboss with to add a bit of detail to your backgrounds. Squares also make pretty shapes when used in a diamond orientation. I hope you will enjoy today's video card.
Another lovely card to start my day. Hope you are feeling better Sue. Alimecca, so sorry that you are feeling so poorly, you have such a lot to deal with at the moment, you are probably run down. Jodie, enjoy your puppy, don't let him near Steph and her flakes lol. Hugs Sheila and Nikki Hugs to everyone.
Hi Sue. I do hope you are on the mend, we haven't heard since Monday. I am torn, I don't want to email you if yo aren't up to much but want you to know I am thinking of you! Look after yourself please. A gorgeous card today. I love it, the colour is so pretty and turning a square around changes the look again, lovely : ) Off to watch the video . Thank yo. Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care. xx
Good morning Sue another beautiful card the square does look different when you turn it to a diamond. It is also useful to turn a die into an embossing die something I haven't done but will be doing so. Thanks Yvonne xx
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, such a stunning card today, I love the colours you have used, will be watching the video later when hubby gets up. So looking forward to it, the card is what I call really elegant, beautiful.
Have a great Thursday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
That rose is so realistic. I particularly like how you have detail even around the inner and outer edges of your dies. The pierced lines and de bossed detail really finish the look. Gorgeous! Thanks Sue. Big hug. Julie E
Hi Sue Beautiful and my favourite colours double joy. Not looking forward to shopping as it is pouring with rain. Happy crafting Love and hugs to all Love Tina x x x

Hi Sue I love today's card. It is such a good idea to emboss with your dies in this way. Will definitely be having a go at this. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are improving. Have a great day everyone. Hugs.
Hi, Sue.....a very pretty card today...I will watch the video later. If I can get this puppy to go to sleep! He's great fun, but hard work at the same time! Thank you, Pam!! It is mostly fun.... Jo xxxxx
Morning Sue, A beautiful card today, the colours are so pretty, thanks for reminding us that we can emboss as well as cut with our dies. Hope your feeling a little better. Hugs to all, Linda.
Hi Sue and all Such an intricate looking card and I am sure the video will make it so easy to make, it is so pretty and gives us even more use of your dies. Will watch the video later hope you are getting better Muriel x

Good Morning Sue, Such an almost 'clean and simple' card today, The New York Collection are perfect for achieving such intricate edges and striking shape! Sue I do hope that you are feeling better, this bug that's been doing the rounds is quite persistent and exhausting too, so please take it easy and let your body fight this thing off ! Thanks for the stunning inspiration too Sue, hugs xxx Gentle hugs to our absent friends, Sam, Tandy, Cameeli & Theresa, I am missing you all and want to send you healing hugs, please get well soon xxxx Sheila & Nikki, I hope you are both well and coping with life one day at a time! Hugs to you both xxxxx Sue (mrs b) and I had a lovely day with Pat yesterday, we took her on an 'outing' to a local garden centre that has a craft shop (I use the term loosely ) as it wasn't the most up to date craft shop! But we had a laugh, which is of course the best medicine ! Love and hugs to all Sandra xxxxx
Sue, will watch video later today, a lovely card and a reminder about using the dies to emboss, something I forget! Hope you are getting better, XxxRuth
Love today's card, very Victorian in feel with all that pretty detail and you're right, we quite often forget that dies can also be used just to emboss with...
Morning Sue. Lovely card. Love the colours together. Will watch video when I have a bit of free time from grandchildren lol! I love the rose. Hugs Heather x
Good morning Sue and everyone Beautiful card, in my fave colour and yes, I do forget to just emboss with my dies so thanks for the reminder. Have a great day. Ang x
Day off today Yay! But I must use it to start doing some de cluttering Boo! It's meant that I can watch video first It's great I forget to just emboss only and brilliant tip to leave a die cut in the die I just need to work out how to stop the cracking when using a folder I think I need to be a bit more patient and spritz the card folder with water but that means waiting for the card to dry! The card is lovely and in my favourite colours I just love how you say the word mauve too
Morning Sue Another enchanting gift to start a very wintry day here - yes we have a slight covering of snow this morning. I thing Madam Spring has retired to her bed for a 'sleep in' at the moment. Some of the simplest things make such a difference don't they. I have never thought of using one of your gorgeous squares cut in half to make a fantastic border but I shall in future. Again white/white with that little lavender piece is so gentle and loving and therefore just hits the right spot with me. I hope that you are feeling somewhat better this morning. Take care.
Sandra - So pleased to hear that you took Pat for a trip out yesterday I only hope that the garden centre is still in one piece after the visit of 'the Three Graces' !! Saba - I hope you had a good journey yesterday and that you are now back nicely tucked in with your family.
To all under the weather and suffering I hope you're better day by day. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow. Janet x
Morning Sue what a stunning card and you've used my favourite colours I love lilac. And these dies are gorgeous and I la e these dies so I may have ago at this card. And your design is stunning and I hD ago at yesterdays card and I have it on my blog today. Take care Sue And my cards on my blog. debsartliffscards.blogspot.co.uk
Good morning Sue, Love the card, hope you are feeling better. Ladies thanks for all your help and suggestions will give them a try. I am sorry about yesterday whinge, I don't think it was really the route of the problem, some of you might know hubby is suffering Late stage CLL, and is taking quite a bit of nursing more chemo next week. Onwards and upwards. Gail Cx
Good Morning Sue, i really hope you are feeling better than you have been. Lovely card today, the colours, dies, embossing folders, they go so well together. Thank you for the wonderful video too, on how to make this lovely card. Have a nice day....xxx
Good Morning Sue. I really look forward to seeing what you have in store for us each day and am never disappointed, this card is lovely. Just catching 5 mins before heading off to work so will watch the video when I get home. You blog just keeps on giving! We had snow here this morning! And it's nearly April! Stay warm, love Deb C xx

Hello Sue I hope you up and about, and still shaking off this bug! I love to emboss my Noble Dies, they are a beautiful substitute for LF-168 Sue so thank you for those! The Sun is shining again so it feels like Spring ( I think)! Todays card is so elegant Sue! Love it Take care love Marg
Such a beautiful card to start my day off. Thank you Sue for sharing your talented inspirations. Alimecca, Cameeli, Tandy, Theresa, healing hugs coming your way, miss your lovely comments Hugs Cheryl xxx
Ooh, it's pretty before I even get to see the video! I must remember to use dies to emboss with. I must remember to use dies to emboss. I must remember to use dies to emboss. I must remember to use dies to emboss.
Morning Sue, beautiful card, I love the combination of colours, you make things so easy to follow, I just might have to do this one! The video was good. Hope you are feeling better, too many bugs going about. Take care, Jess x
Hi Sue I love todays card, I to like to emboss my dies, but don't do it often enough. Hope your feeling better today. Please take care of yourself. I'll watch the video later. My favourite colours as well.
Morning Sue. How are you my dear lovely friend, I do hope you are feeling a little better today, if not listen to your body and do what IT wants, put your idea's on ice or in a book and rest up xx What a beautiful fresh looking gift today, I think this set of square dies could be the prettiest of their kind, I dont have all of the square dies, but who knows what the Easter bunny will leave (not coccie thats for sure) : ) Today I have another order to do, I will call it my emboss Thursday to remind myself we dont have to always cut with our wonderful SW dies, and without your video tutorials and daily inspiration, I for one would get stuck in the cut only way of life ! So thank you for the kick up the as a reminder lol. Gail, Sheila, Theresa, Alison, Alimecca plus our other Wilsonettes that dont feel well, or are finding life a struggle, my basket of comforting cuddles is full for you to help yourselves, if only a virtual cuddle could really help Id be one very happy lady. As for that little 10wk bundle of naughty funny energy, when the pup flops you craft lol but do something quiet so he doesn't wake up and steel your toys, watch those twitching dreaming paws, he's probably thinking of running off with your best dies to bury them!! Is he full of glitter and guilding flakes yet ? Sending love and hugs to all here. Lancashire Steph xxx
Good morning Sue, I hope you are feeling better today. Your idea of embossing in the video was new to me and I have to say it´s a great idea. You surprised me once again with that. Rolf xxx
Morning Sue. This is another stunning card. Loving the colours and layout. You have used my favourite collection of dies, i go to these ones all the time. Thanks for another great video. Hoping you are on the mend and feeling a little more like yourself. Take care everyone. I think the winter has returned as we have some snow this morning. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Hi Sue Lovely card and great video, thanks for reminding how to use the dies to emboss rather than just cut. I hope every day finds you a little better Hugs and best wishes everyone Pat
Absolutely love this card! Can't wait to try it when I get home, sorry I haven't been able to read others comments lately , I look forward to catching up. Love and hugs to all xo
Lovely card. When I first saw the card my first thought was that the background die you had used must be a very large die,how wrong was I, very clever. Thanks for sharing.
Good morning Sue and the wonderful wilsonettes, Sue, i just love the colours of todays card as the Lilac against the Milk coloured card just looks so pretty and feminine but is so soft and pretty. If my beloved Auntie Katie was still alive she would have adored this beauty today as lilac was her favourite colour and she loved pretty things but the hat pins would be out of the card and used as they were intended by her. She never went out the door without a hat to match her outfit and a hat pin in to keep it on supposedly but i think unless you have a bun or your hair up in some way with kirby grips, i honestly don't know how these things would have kept hats on their heads. Are you feeling a bit better as the days from your break away from everything was supposed to do you the world of good, not bring you down ill. I do so hope that you are coming back to your usual chirpy self even if it is slowly dear friend. Slowly and gently is the call for the now ok? Sending you some hugs just to let you know that you are being thought about so much by your Wilsonettes. You know that is me just got a delivery from Ideal World/Create and Craft and i am truly fed up with the disgusting parcels that i am getting and that is the state they are sent out in as they have put the burst and battered products into a burst and tatty bag and encased it in a polythene one to keep it all together. Is it just me that keeps getting parcels like this or does anyone else get these deliveries as well? Sorry just miffed as it seems to be this is happening to me all too regularly. I have to wait long enough for the parcels to get sent out, not to receive but sent and then what comes is a dogs dinner, in fact Tia's dinner looks more appetizing than them. Gail, i'm sending your lovely hubby some hugs flower because i think that he could be doing with some. I can remember my beloved daddy changing beyond all recognition as he was in so much pain with the bladder cancer that they could do nothing for by the time 10 months later they started doing tests on him. He only lasted another few weeks and poor mum was run ragged as she couldn't get any help from anyone for him. MacMillian told her they only advise and give monetary help with phone bills and heating, so i do not wish that pain on anyone. Anyway i will leave you all now with hugs of all shapes sizes and strengths for whatever you could do with one for and take care love and crafty hugs Norah (glenochil)
A stunning card. Thank you for the reminder to use the dies for more than just cutting. Love the embossed centerpiece background from the New York die. Also clever to use a square die cut in half to make interesting corners. Cathy
I've just bought some of the square dies so this is an interesting way to use them as diamonds, corners and for embossed elements. Thanks Sue. Happy Days, Lesley
Amazing what you can do with dies isn't it. This is a really pretty card Sue, loving the purple! Hoping you are feeling somewhat better. Thx for sharing.
Hi Sue This card is beautiful today and I love the way you have cut the squares to make the corners. Yes I too forget you can just emboss with dies. The colour combination is great too. I hope you are starting to feel better Sue, I hope you didn't pick up a bug from your cruise, they can be quite nasty. Keep warm and relax until you feel better Love Diane G xxx Norah my mum had a collection of hats and would sometimes forget she was wearing one and would still be wearing it cooking dinner! Xxx Alison hope you feel better soon xxx Gail sending you a hug and one for your husband too xxx Jodie your puppy sounds lovely, have fun with him xxx
Hi Sue and everyone, Lovely card and super helpful tutorial, Thank you Sue. Hope you are feeling better.
To everyone in pain, please take care and Gail I am sending you,ToB,Alison,Tandy and all a special Hug as a support during hard times you are going through.
Waiting for a plumber as a bit of water run onto the kitchen floor from a broken pipe under the sink this morning, oh so much fun.
Hi Sue. WOW !! What a fab video !! And what a stunning and elegant card !! I know I keep saying that lately but just when I think you could not make a better card than the previous one YOU DO exactly that !!!!! I am so in love with the New York Collection that I am really loving all the cards you are making with them lately. They all mix and match so beautifully. I love the colours of today's card and I often forget about just embossing with the dies. I love the embossed corners you have created Sue. Something I would never have thought of doing yet they look fantastic !! It all looks so pretty. I love your messy bow and your beautiful "sugared" Rose. Fab stick pins to. You always give me so much inspiration Sue, so thank you so much for today's gorgeous card and for all that you do. I hope you are ok. Please take care Sue lots of love from Tres x x x

Hello Sue, I hope you're feeling a little better today, please take it steady, rest and do as you're told. LOL

Please take care, sending you lots of love and crafty hugs. Brenda XXX
Beautiful card Sue. Fab colours. I'm looking forward to seeing how you made it. Hope you're feeling better. It's so disappointing to be unwell after you've enjoyed a wonderful holiday. Take care.
A glorious card Sue i love the colour and the sugered rose i also like the way you say lilac and mauve, it so reminds me of my late Aunty Marie from Oklahoma, she was an American war bride, her husband to be was stationed at an air base in Warrington, Lancashire and was only 17 when she went to the States, now i bet you needed to know all that, LOL love to all Johanna
Lovely, just lovely. I really like the stick pins and bow. I ordered the stick pin kit and seam binding ribbon from Create and Craft but it disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic.
Hi Sue, Beautiful card. Very fresh and clean looking. Great video too. Hope you are feeling better. Finally had some good news today! My auntie is being discharged tomorrow from hospital so that will be nicer for her! We all know that she can't cured but she has said that she has come to terms with things and is at peace so that is a weight off our minds. My sister and brother in law are due back tonight so that will be nice to see them and finally a Dave and I are just about better - yeah!! Thank you to all who have sent good wishes and hugs. Gail thinking about you and hubby and sending you both gentle hugs. Tandy, TOB hope you are ok. Sending love and hugs to all who need/ want them. Love Alison xxx

Lovely card, really like this use of squares.
Good morning Sue another beautiful card the square does look different when you turn it to a diamond. It is also useful to turn a die into an embossing die something I haven't done but will be doing so. Thanks Yvonne xx

Another enchanting gift to start a very wintry day here - yes we have a slight covering of snow this morning. I thing Madam Spring has retired to her bed for a 'sleep in' at the moment.
Some of the simplest things make such a difference don't they. I have never thought of using one of your gorgeous squares cut in half to make a fantastic border but I shall in future. Again white/white with that little lavender piece is so gentle and loving and therefore just hits the right spot with me.
I hope that you are feeling somewhat better this morning. Take care.
Sandra - So pleased to hear that you took Pat for a trip out yesterday I only hope that the garden centre is still in one piece after the visit of 'the Three Graces' !!

Hi Sue
I love todays card, I to like to emboss my dies, but don't do it often enough. Hope your feeling better today. Please take care of yourself. I'll watch the video later. My favourite colours as well.
Lovely card Sue. I'm off to do some crafting soon x
Hi Sue,

Stunning card Sue, and the embossing is something we can forget so it is good to get a reminder. Thank you.Xx
Morning Sue. How are you my dear lovely friend, I do hope you are feeling a little better today, if not listen to your body and do what IT wants, put your idea's on ice or in a book and rest up xx
What a beautiful fresh looking gift today, I think this set of square dies could be the prettiest of their kind, I dont have all of the square dies, but who knows what the Easter bunny will leave (not coccie thats for sure) : )
Today I have another order to do, I will call it my emboss Thursday to remind myself we dont have to always cut with our wonderful SW dies, and without your video tutorials and daily inspiration, I for one would get stuck in the cut only way of life ! So thank you for the kick up the as a reminder lol.
Gail, Sheila, Theresa, Alison, Alimecca plus our other Wilsonettes that dont feel well, or are finding life a struggle, my basket of comforting cuddles is full for you to help yourselves, if only a virtual cuddle could really help Id be one very happy lady.
As for that little 10wk bundle of naughty funny energy, when the pup flops you craft lol but do something quiet so he doesn't wake up and steel your toys, watch those twitching dreaming paws, he's probably thinking of running off with your best dies to bury them!! Is he full of glitter and guilding flakes yet ?
Sending love and hugs to all here.

Hi Sue, another gorgeous card card. Delicate and intricate looking in lovely colours. Thanks for the video.
Good morning Sue,
I hope you are feeling better today.
Your idea of embossing in the video was new to me and I have to say it´s a great idea. You surprised me once again with that.

Lovely - I like your choice of colours (I'm partial to a bit of purple). :)
Such a pretty card, love the detail x
Morning Sue. This is another stunning card. Loving the colours and layout. You have used my favourite collection of dies, i go to these ones all the time. Thanks for another great video. Hoping you are on the mend and feeling a little more like yourself.
Take care everyone. I think the winter has returned as we have some snow this morning.
Best Wishes.

Another beautiful card and with my favourite colours too.
Lovely card Sue really, really pretty Crafty Regards Julie Kay xxx
Good morning Sue,
I simply adore this card, the colours shapes etc.......I have similar dies, my cards don't ever turn out like yours. Something I must be doing wrong.
Going to craft today.
Happy crafting everyone.
Hugs to all Love Dorothy xx
Absolutely love this card! Can't wait to try it when I get home, sorry I haven't been able to read others comments lately , I look forward to catching up.
Love and hugs to all xo

Hello Sue and all
Lovely card. When I first saw the card my first thought was that the background die you had used must be a very large die,how wrong was I, very clever. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Good morning Sue and the wonderful wilsonettes,
Sue, i just love the colours of todays card as the Lilac against the Milk coloured card just looks so pretty and feminine but is so soft and pretty. If my beloved Auntie Katie was still alive she would have adored this beauty today as lilac was her favourite colour and she loved pretty things but the hat pins would be out of the card and used as they were intended by her. She never went out the door without a hat to match her outfit and a hat pin in to keep it on supposedly but i think unless you have a bun or your hair up in some way with kirby grips, i honestly don't know how these things would have kept hats on their heads. Are you feeling a bit better as the days from your break away from everything was supposed to do you the world of good, not bring you down ill. I do so hope that you are coming back to your usual chirpy self even if it is slowly dear friend. Slowly and gently is the call for the now ok? Sending you some hugs just to let you know that you are being thought about so much by your Wilsonettes.
You know that is me just got a delivery from Ideal World/Create and Craft and i am truly fed up with the disgusting parcels that i am getting and that is the state they are sent out in as they have put the burst and battered products into a burst and tatty bag and encased it in a polythene one to keep it all together. Is it just me that keeps getting parcels like this or does anyone else get these deliveries as well? Sorry just miffed as it seems to be this is happening to me all too regularly. I have to wait long enough for the parcels to get sent out, not to receive but sent and then what comes is a dogs dinner, in fact Tia's dinner looks more appetizing than them.
Gail, i'm sending your lovely hubby some hugs flower because i think that he could be doing with some. I can remember my beloved daddy changing beyond all recognition as he was in so much pain with the bladder cancer that they could do nothing for by the time 10 months later they started doing tests on him. He only lasted another few weeks and poor mum was run ragged as she couldn't get any help from anyone for him. MacMillian told her they only advise and give monetary help with phone bills and heating, so i do not wish that pain on anyone.
Anyway i will leave you all now with hugs of all shapes sizes and strengths for whatever you could do with one for and take care
love and crafty hugs
Norah (glenochil)
A stunning card. Thank you for the reminder to use the dies for more than just cutting. Love the embossed centerpiece background from the New York die. Also clever to use a square die cut in half to make interesting corners.
Cathy
I've just bought some of the square dies so this is an interesting way to use them as diamonds, corners and for embossed elements. Thanks Sue.
Happy Days,
Lesley
Love the details on this pretty card!
Amazing what you can do with dies isn't it. This is a really pretty card Sue, loving the purple! Hoping you are feeling somewhat better. Thx for sharing.
Beautiful card again this morning Sue,
one of my favourite colour schemes too.
Best wishes to all

Beautiful card. Thanks so much for the video. Hope you are feeling better.
Hi Sue, hope you are feeling better. Gorgeous card. Will have to watch the video later to find out how you made this beauty.
Hi Sue
This card is beautiful today and I love the way you have cut the squares to make the corners. Yes I too forget you can just emboss with dies. The colour combination is great too. I hope you are starting to feel better Sue, I hope you didn't pick up a bug from your cruise, they can be quite nasty. Keep warm and relax until you feel better
Love Diane G xxx
Norah my mum had a collection of hats and would sometimes forget she was wearing one and would still be wearing it cooking dinner! Xxx

Hi Sue. WOW !! What a fab video !! And what a stunning and elegant card !! I know I keep saying that lately but just when I think you could not make a better card than the previous one YOU DO exactly that !!!!! I am so in love with the New York Collection that I am really loving all the cards you are making with them lately. They all mix and match so beautifully. I love the colours of today's card and I often forget about just embossing with the dies. I love the embossed corners you have created Sue. Something I would never have thought of doing yet they look fantastic !! It all looks so pretty. I love your messy bow and your beautiful "sugared" Rose. Fab stick pins to. You always give me so much inspiration Sue, so thank you so much for today's gorgeous card and for all that you do. I hope you are ok. Please take care Sue lots of love from Tres x x x

Hi Sue,
I've never tried using dies to emboss backgrounds before. What a wonderful effect. Off to watch the video now. As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
Lovely card. I think this would make a nice Wedding Anniversary card that I need to make. Prayers go with you Sue for a quick and speedy recovery.
Hello Sue,
I hope you're feeling a little better today, please take it steady, rest and do as you're told. LOL
WOW, today's card is a real beauty I love the lilac it's such a gorgeous colour. Your dies just work so perfectly together. Like others I forget that I can emboss and don't have to cut as well.
Today is video is brilliant, everything so easy to follow with your very clear instructions. Thank you Sue.
Please take care, sending you lots of love and crafty hugs. Brenda XXX

Beautiful card Sue. Fab colours. I'm looking forward to seeing how
you made it. Hope you're feeling better. It's so disappointing to be unwell after you've enjoyed a wonderful holiday. Take care.
Hi Sue,
Another lovely card and a reminder that dies can be used to emboss as well.
Love Janet x

A glorious card Sue i love the colour and the sugered rose i also like the way you say lilac and mauve, it so reminds me of my late Aunty Marie from Oklahoma, she was an American war bride, her husband to be was stationed at an air base in Warrington, Lancashire and was only 17 when she went to the States, now i bet you needed to know all that, LOL love to all Johanna
Lovely, just lovely. I really like the stick pins and bow. I ordered the stick pin kit and seam binding ribbon from Create and Craft but it disappeared somewhere over the Atlantic.
Fabulous card, and the embossed corners are very beautiful!

Beautiful card. Very fresh and clean looking. Great video too. Hope you are feeling better.
Finally had some good news today! My auntie is being discharged tomorrow from hospital so that will be nicer for her! We all know that she can't cured but she has said that she has come to terms with things and is at peace so that is a weight off our minds. My sister and brother in law are due back tonight so that will be nice to see them and finally a Dave and I are just about better - yeah!! Thank you to all who have sent good wishes and hugs. Gail thinking about you and hubby and sending you both gentle hugs. Tandy, TOB hope you are ok. Sending love and hugs to all who need/ want them. Love Alison xxx
