Hi bloggers! I love this card and I am pretty sure that you had a sneak peek of it back in Nov. when we launched these dies. I started with the
Times Square and cut a large frame out of the outer die and used a reg. square die cut for the inside area. I used the
Eternal Rings Striplet cutting it several times to make a continuous background. I used the frame to mount over it and nipped away the excess from around the edges. I added foam mounting around the edge and mounted it in the centre of a larger piece of white card and added pearls to all the crisscross areas. I cut two of the
Phoenix Gemini die using both cutting edges and embossed them to bring out the deboss features. I added mounting foam to the back and added them to either side of my focal element. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
Copenhagen die, inking it with
Aqua Adirondack ink while still in the die to bring out some detail. I seated my sentiment on to a
Scandinavian tag cut out of white card and a
New York tag that I had cut down slightly. I made a single small
Camellia with the open petals and added a pearl to the centre and glued it to my tag. I finished the card with just some plain matting and layering with white and aqua card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size.
I'm not off to see my Mom just yet, I'm afraid you are stuck with me for a little bit longer! This is, however, the first non working holiday I have had in quite some time and will be completely away from my computer when I leave! I won't be picking up any emails at all. The blog is all scheduled so hopefully it will go off without a hitch. I have arranged for our marketing gal, Sarah, to look in on it just to make sure. I am hoping to be able to share some pics when I return! All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue. This is simlpy beautiful. Lovely colours and layout. I love your striplet and gemini die's, they are very useful to have in our crafty stash lol. Can't believe you won't be doing any work when you are in the states, but to be honest i think it will be lovely to have a complete break when you are away to recharge your batteries and have some quality time with your mom to do loads of girly things and it would be lovely to see a picture of the pair of you having some fun. So have a fantastic holiday and you will come back rareing to start again lol.
Still bitter cold but at least the wind has settled down. Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.

Ps. My grand calibur has broken!!! It was one of the very first ones on c&c, so its had a lot of use. I am wondering what to replace it with, has anyone tried the new teal one?
Good morning Sue what a beautiful card I love the way you use your dies and the colours and the design are wonderful. So pleased you are having a rest from the computer you do mead to rest from it. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with your mum. Take care xx

Morning Sue from an arctic cold, wet and white Lancashire, but we now have sun !! What on earth is going on with our weather ?!!
At long last - a non working holiday, never thought id see the day lol Norway ? Really ? Brrrr that would certainly finish me off, or at least leave me fingerless !! Have the most wonderful time making memories wherever in the world you visit, its been a long time coming Sue, and of course, have some wonderful quality time with mom and family xxx
I remember this beauty so well, so delicate, my favourite colour's, and the sentiment HAS to be returned to you.
After showing Izzy's amazing bags yesterday, I visited one of your regular Wilsonettes blogs, and there are some absolutly amazing Izzy bags, they are fabulous, so your tutorial must have worked Izzy lol, im useless at written instructions, but I may have to print them off and see what sort of mess I can make of them lol.
I have to add one more thing about this ere 'non working' holiday - Sue, it can ONLY be that if you leave your paper and pencil by your bedside and NOT in your hand luggage lol I feel you may have to be medicated to stop the withdrawl symptoms : )
Sending love n hugs to all that visit today.
Please take care and enjoy your day whatever your plans may be.

Hi Sue, beautiful card, so pleased that I have all the dies needed to replicate this crafty creation. Hope you have a great holiday and get to completely recharge your batteries. Lol lynne m x x x
Fur babies dislike the pink bean bag with a vengence now. When they jump up on the settee the
beanbag gets tossed onto the floor every time. They don't even try to lay on it anymore much to my dismay as it did provide much laughter. However, they have now decided that the arms of the settees are perfect for stretching out on ( must have cat dna somewhere in their makeup) they do like to lay with their legs hanging down each side of the arm. Hubby did say that its not a very ladylike position to lay in- my response was that our 2 are definitely NOT ladies. He is sure that its just a little lapse and that his princesses are most certainly ladies. Talk about looking through rose coloured glasses!!!
Lol and oodles of hugs to all lynne m & dreadfully devious doggie divas x x x x
Hi Sue,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card. Have a good break!
Veronique L
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card, really love the Gemini dies and this one is so pretty and I like how you've used it on this card. I have a special card to make for a friend who is leaving her job to go to another school so this would be perfect for that. Hope you have a fabulous holiday and that you do manage to get a complete break from work and that you are able to chill out - you deserve it.
Lilian, sorry to hear your Grand Calibur has broken. My advice would be to get an eBosser if you can afford it - it makes it so much easier.
Love and hugs to all on this very cold and snowy day - stay safe and warm, love Alison xx
Morning Sue,
Beautiful card, love it all.
Good for you leaving it all behind and having a complete rest, but knowing you I bet you will still have a notebook and pencil in your bag.
Have a wonderful time.

Pretty card today Sue, but I'd have to try and substitute Lyra for mine, as I don't have the die you used.
Perhaps I was a bit previous wishing Mum a Happy Birthday, so I do hope you enjoy your holiday. Have a great time!
Perfection, this card is so appealing to the eye.

Beautiful card, the striplet looks great in the background.
I´m finally back with the living and what a load of amazing work here the last many many days too, and todays card is just absolutely stunning too Sue.
A lovely card today. I think the Gemini dies are my favourites (but then again I keep changing my mind). Enjoy your holiday Sue, you have certainly earned it!
Hope the Northern Lights light up for you!
Marion B xx
Hi Patricia (Summerhouse),
Fabulous job with those Carina bags!...and thank you for showing me I was wrong not to buy that die - I thought that is was just too delicate even with a backing to be used on a bag flap but yours look wonderfully classy...and was really surprised at how many toiletries you got in the bag - did you enlarge the bottom measurement?...and have you thought of adding an Anonymous button to your list of identities, would have loved to leave a comment on your blog...
and for the visual learners, if you found my lenghy instructions just too much faff then if you click on the templates pic it will enlarge it and you can then print it off and follow that instead - the bag pieces are just basic rectangles so very easy to make - otherwise I couldn't have done them myself!...lol...and we all need to make our dies work as hard as possible...
Izzy
Nice card, Sue, with the touch of aqua - especially like the Eternal Rings background and use this a lot with frames, always get a good result!
Good on you 'getting away from it all' (us!) but thanks for all your effort in ensuring that the blog goes out daily so we do get our fix!!
Happy cruising.
'P' in Wales
Lovely card Sue, very restful colours too.
Enjoy your work free holiday, you deserve a proper break after the busy couple of years you have had with these dies. Tell us all about it when you get home.
Cheers

Hi Sue,
I do remember this card as the White striplets sort of reminded me of ornate plasterwork! It is beautiful and I love those colours. Have the dies so will try with a twist!
Please go and enjoy your holiday - great idea not to take computer! We will happily blog - sit while you've gone . It will be like house or dog watching without the hassle!
Hope you see the Aurora Borealis! It looks wonderful on the TV - in real life will be amazing.
Lots of love,

Good morning Sue,
Another beautiful card, I love this striplet, I have recently purchased it after the amazing inspiration on your weekender shows, also the Izzy bags, they are a real reason to buy the Striplets !
Sue, time to rest & relax, enjoy the stunning scenery, although I know your fingers will be itching by the end of the holiday! Love & hugs xxx
Izzy, thank you sweetheart for being so kind by sharing the details of your amazing creations, the buzz on my blog about them was crazy yesterday, Patricia was telling us how fab they were so I popped over to her blog and was blown away, by her bags!
I really must look into getting an anonymous button on my blog, (not sure how though) !
Patricia, you should be so proud of your bags, top job lady! Xxxx
Lillian My lovely friend Pat (witney) has the new tael one and hers is going well, although she has only had it a couple of months, it us supposed to be more robust, they were selling like 'hot cakes' at the show on Saturday, you still have to turn the dies about, but may be the case with all machines!
Well I am off to the 'coffee shop' via my craft room!
Love and hugs to all
Sandra xxxx

Hi Pat
If reaching your toes is the problem you can get toenail scissors with angled blades and very long handles from sellers who deal with mobility and care equipment. 'Long handle toenail cutters' in a search engine will bring them up for you. Not sure how much they are as I got mine a long time ago and whether the cost is worth it if the issue is temporary but they are very good if reaching is the thing stopping you cutting them yourself.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and hugs, T xxx
Gorgeous card Sue and love the background. Colours not bad either. Hope you have a relaxing holiday and come back full of wonderful ideas. Hugs xx
Lovely card , design and colour choice

Hi Sue,
Good on you for leaving the laptop behind! You and your hubby deserve some quality time after the busy year you've had. I can't begin to imagine how much work it took to set up the blog to still pop up cards while you're away, you deserve a holiday just for that! Anyway, from Mr W, Billy and myself have a wonderful, restful time. I look forward to seeing pictures when you return.
Anyhoo, on to the card. So so pretty. Can have a crack at this as the dies I don't have I have some from the same range. Hoping to order the gaps I have in New York and Noble in the next couple of months which should take me up to your next C & C show!
Lynne, took Billy a couple of weeks to trust his new bed when we got it last year. His is memory foam and he wasn't sure of the feeling of it sinking into place I think. It was funny seeing him lay on the floor using it as a giant pillow in the first week though! Pretty sure he'd destroy a bean bag in seconds as it makes a rustling noise, imagine the scene, beanbag innards flying through the air like a vicious snowstorm around 30kg of lurcher doing a Taz impression! Your divas do make me giggle!
Lilian, I know the teal GC is stronger and the plates a tad closer together so you don't need shims. I'd check reviews online for all the A4 Machines and see what suits your usage and your budget. I brought a hardly used GC second hand earlier this year as I used my supermarket loyalty points on a certain auction site and still have my tough little A5 machine for thicker materials and my old cartridge dies. I hope you find a machine that suits you asap!
Lots of hugs and crafty happiness to Sue and Wilsonettes everywhere. Extra hugs to those who are ill, in treatment or recovery or in any sort of pain.

Hi Sue a beautiful card and i do indeed remember it on your show because i think the colours are gorgeous as are the striplets,
Have a wonderful holiday, if it is Norway you are going to you can sit on your balcony but will have to stay up late to catch them, hugs to all, Johanna
I like how the striplet die cutout can be combined to make a cutout back ground. It is lovely with the added pearls.
Stunning!!!

Hi Sue, a really fresh pretty card Sue, your striplets are so versatile. I am building up my collection slowly.xx
Well, Sue, left a comment this morning but it seems to have disappeared. So (at risk of repeating myself!) lovely card and do like the Eternal Rings - always get a good result when using within a frame.
Good for you to be computerless for the holiday, just glad we will still have the blog and thank you for all your hard work scheduling the posts for while you are away.
Look forward to the pics on your return.
Happy cruising!!

Hi Sue. I really love todays card !! I love the colours you have used to. The Phoenix Gemini Die looks so beautiful either side of the Times Square dies. The Eternal Rings Striplet looks fab !! I have this die but I have not used it yet. I love the mix of dies you have used for your focal point and the Camelia Dies are Sooo lovely. ( They are on my long wish list.) Thanks for sharing this beautiful card today Sue. This card is definately one I would like to make as soon as I can buy a Gemini Die. Thank you for your confirmation last night that I am one of your comment game winners. I am so excited !! Thank you !!
I hope you have a lovely holiday Sue wherever you are going. Sending you lots of love and best wishes from Tres x x x

Hi Sue. Beautiful card. I haven't tried making a continuous background with your striplets. Must give it a try. Wow going computerless! I have been to a couple of places which didn't have the internet. Took a while to catch up with emails when I got back. Have a great time. SueL x
Very pretty lacy kind of card. Love all your dies and the many different looks you can get from them.
Beautiful card. The eternal rings striplet is just gorgeous.
So pleased to hear you are ditching the technology and having a work-free holiday.
Take care everyone.
