Thanks For Everything

Good Sunday morning all!  A clean and simple sort of card for today.  I used the new Linear Leaves embossing folder.  It is one of the newer smaller embossing folders so it will fit in any of the machines.  I cut the folder along the lines to make a triptych effect and mounted the strip with foam for dimension.  I cut the Mosaic leaves out of a piece of white card that I covered with a sticky adhesive sheet, then gilded with Persian Dawn gilding flakes.  I used a piece of it to cut the New York tag as well.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out again out of white card, but this time, I nipped away the decorative end pieces and glued it atop the gilded tag.  I mounted it in the upper corner of the card.  I tied a piece of silver cord around the card and tied a bow over my leaves.  I embellished it with a small clear Dazzler.  The card was then completed with a white pierced mat, a thin silver mat and a final white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.
Don't forget to check back tomorrow for all the winners to be posted for the week.  All for now, Sue x

GM Sue. Love this. I do like leaves for some reason! Hope today goes well at AP. We are slowly getting better here. Think we are over worst of it but still not right. Its going to take a bit more time and rest me thinks. The brain is bored now but the body still doesn't want to do much!

Ecco of Sheffield said...

Morning Sue
Hope you had a really good day yesterday and are ready for today. I know lots of your Wilsonettes were there hoping to have a word in between your demonstrations.

Totally different from yesterday is today's gift and this one I love. I haven't seen that particular Eboss folder but will be on the look out for it. It really matches so well with your leaves as though they were made for each other. I also will be giving gilding leaves a go. As yet I've not tried small things like leaves so there's another challenge for me!

June enjoy your day at AP.
Norah - I'm thinking of you.
Sheila & Nikki - hope you're both taking things slowly. I know you're seeing Nikki today Sheila so have aa good a day as you can.

We have sunshine this morning so fingers crossed by lunch it will be a nice warm day. Just right to do a little crafting me thinks.

To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Morning Sue. WOW this is a gorgeous card. Love the clean and simple lines to this one. The white with just a hint of colour always looks elegant. Hope you had a great day yesterday and looking forward to another busy day today. I am sure you made a lot of people very happy yesterday and it will be the same today.
Best Wishes.

cr@fty said...

Good morning Sue
Such an elegant card this morning complete contrast from yesterday's card. Although I have used gilding flakes on flowers I haven't used them on leaves, that's something I'm going to try later. Why does your string on your card look gorgeous and mine looks a mess when I do it?
Hope your day went well yesterday, am I jealous of everyone that met you? ........ NO! ............... well maybe a little bit lol. Have a great day today Sue and all that are going.

Beautiful, I really must try the gilded flakes they make so much difference.

I so much wanted to go to AP but have this sore throat and cough bug that is going around also only returned from a few days away on Fruday but was so lucky to find an awesome card making shop called Apple Craft and brought one if the weaving dies which I am looking forward to trying when my grand calibur returns from the hospital.

Enjoy the day.

Steph Cotterill said...

Sunday Smiles to you Sue, even though I dont feel like smiling much today as still feeling rather green with envy, so I went to my craft heaven yesterday and blew my craft budget for the next few year's but who cares, I can survive on toast !
I love this simple elegant card, and the mood im in those pesky guilding flakes better know that I will win the battle today, NO ONE messes with Grotbags today lol !
Those little fronds I bought yesterday are going to be guilded until they scream "no more" I need to do a few more CAS cards they sing such a beautiful tune.
I know you must have had a very sucessful day yesterday and I wish you more of the same today.
Sending love to all our dear friends that dont feel so well today.
Big hugs for you Sue.

Hello Sue
This is a gorgeous CAS card and as I have mentioned before I really love the Triptych effect.
The gilded leaves are beautiful and with the embossing folder make such an elegant card.
It sounds as though you met so many of your Wilsonettes yesterday. How did you get any time for demonstrating???
As a young teenager I remember the stunning views from AP as I was born just twenty minutes from there.
Although I now live not too far away in West Sussex I am not too keen on the M25 these days but would really love to visit the show again.
Have a great day, Sue.
Love from Lesley S x

I didn't get home until about 8.45 last night. It was a long day, but I'm really glad I went. Just so tired today so not 'played' with my new goodies yet but I will soon....

I hope today goes well for you Sue and everyone who attends.

Great to see all your cards live and I did ending up buying some of your beautiful dies.
We had a great day so I hope that the once going today,June,Karen,Saba ! are having the same.Sorry we missed you Jackie T,maybe next time.
Sending warm hugs to all who are not well,wish you all better soon and if you are in pain, like my arms today lol Take it easy and rest up. I also wish Sue could have a rest after two days at AP but if I heard right you are filming for a show tomorrow, you are a very busy woman and still manage to look great, don't know how you doing it but you are a Star in cardmaking !

I love the New York Tag with the sentiment, and the cord wrapped around the card just finishes it !! I think this card would be a great card for a man. I will definately try gilding flakes with my leaf dies now !!
I did not get the chance to comment yesterday but I really loved yesterday's Carina Gemini card that you made into a petticoat card. I thought it looked very pretty and Lacey !! Lovely colours of card to. I do not have any of the Scandanavian Collection Dies but I have other dies of yours that I can use instead. I am going to try having a go at this card and probably today's card to !! Thanks for all your wonderful inspiration Sue !! I hope you had another lovely crafty day today at Alley Palley. I hope you can relax now and rest for a while. Sending you lots of love and special hugs from Tres x x x

I hope everyone that went, had a lovely crafty day today at Alley Palley.
Sending lots of love to everyone love from Tres x x x

A stunning card which is elegant yet simple in design, the embossing folder was just made to be used with the leaf die. Hope you have enjoyed your two days at Ally Pally, so sad that I was not able to go. Keeping my fingers crossed for September! Hugs to all, Linda.

Hi Sue

A lovely card, those little flashes of gilding make a clean, simple and pretty card extraspecial and goes to show that small embossing folders can make bigger cards.

It seems you've met many of our Wilsonettes over the weekend. I hope the event was a success and any Wilsonettes had a lovely- and probably expensive, time! I'm hoping if I do manage it later in the year, that one day will be enough time to get around!

Sorry that it seems a lot of people have been poorly, get well hugs for you all. Planning to go back and catch up on everyones news.

I got the cards finished just 3 hours before we left for the family party yesterday. I did the fire and ice technique for my step mums 50th card and used my new noble dies ans quilled leaves plus a pierced mat. I was really pleased with what I did. The girls got cards that I made with other products as as much as I'd like to indulge myself I wanted to make them cards that are things they like. It was fun as it was 3 cards with 3 completely different sets of materials. The party was lovely as I saw people I hadn't seen in ages, and the 3 birthday girls all had a lovely time in their own ways. Craft room survived as I tidied as I went but still have boxes and machinery to put away. That can wait!

Mr W waiting for me so I shall go. Hugs to all of you with extra going to those in need, Billy sends wags and woofs to all the four legged little helpers out there. Happy hugs and inky fingers for you all in the week to come,

Hi Sue
Another beautiful card & love the clean, simplistic style of this one.

Liking the new leaf embossing folder & the Triptych style looks amazing.

Hope you've had a good weekend at the Ally Pally & met lots of your fans...

I've only been to the Ally Pally once a few years ago & must try & get there again next year as it was such a good day...

Good evening Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes ,
I love the simplicity of this card but how the leaves match the background to finish the stylistic effect that it creates. The white background with the gilded looking leaves is just so lovely Sue and a lovely card for the plainer ladies in our lives or those mysteries called men that are is contrary as Mary, Mary was although I think she would have to go something to make upto some of the male species at times. Thank you Sue for another piece of inspiring art for our delight. I hope that you have had a great time down at A.P. This weekend and that you met up with a number of your fans. Have a rest tomorrow as you are just recovering from that nasty illness from the other week there and your strength is not quite up to full level yet flower. Sending you some hugs just because.
Well been down at mums all day so legs, back and body feeling the effects off the non stop sorting, wrapping and packing but a dent in her ornaments, dishes and things in ready for the charity shop tomorrow, I have got maps, postcards, language books, history, in fact you name it put past for the school as I think these things are something that they could use along with various art brushes, paints, boards, etc. boy oh boy did my mum have some amount of stuff, but getting through it slowly but surely although I wish I didn't feel as if I was throwing away her life and all the things that made her so happy but I just can't keep it all.
Well I'm away to bed to give the bones a rest so I will see you all tomorrow hopefully. Sending hugs to all my angels both on blog and not at the moment,
Love and crafty hugs

Hello Sue,
Sorry didn't leave a message yesterday, it was lovely seeing you at AP yesterday and looking at your beautiful creations - in the flesh. The photographs are always brilliant, but actually seeing them is always wonderful.
Well after AP went to grandsons birthday party. When we returned home we had some sad news, a friend had passed away, he had been ill for some time. But still when it happens it really hits you.

Yesterday's card was just gorgeous and so femine.
Today's card is a real WOW Love the Mosaic leaves with gilding flakes on, it is a beautiful card.
Hope you have had a safe journey home.
Love and thanks, Brenda xxx

Hi Sue,

Beautiful embossing background and gorgeous bronze leaves, I love it. I have some of the flakes you mention and to date have not used them, so I think I will be trying this tomorrow or some time soon.
Thanks for sharing Hugs to all

Hi Sue,
Sorry I am so late! I started to type earlier and was interrupted! Then I completely forgot!
Today's card is very different but still lovely! Definitely worth a try as it's really effective!
Hope you've enjoyed the weekend and that you aren't too tired. Saba promised to say Hi from me and I'm sure she did. I hope Saba had a great day too.
Love to all,

Hi Sue,
hope you've had a good weekend at Ally Pally. Sorry I've not been leaving comments for a few days. I've managed a quick look at some of your cards over the last few days, in between family get togethers, trips to vets, packing, and travelling all day yesterday !!
I hope to catch up with the videos I've missed over the next couple of days.

Today's card is neat and simple,but very effective. Will have to give this style a go.

Hope June and all the other Wilsonettes that got to Ally Pally had a great time.

Hugs and Best Wishes to you all,

Clean and simple and oh so stunning. Love the embossing folder and the way you've used the gilding flakes.
Take care everyone.

Sue said...

Just gorgeous. Love the metalic leaves against the white, lovely.

terrie said...

What a great looking card...the gold leaves are really nice.
Well done Sue

Liz White, Scottsdale said...

Sue,
I've seen you use gilding flakes and burnish the extra off. How do you do that with such delicate pieces of die cut leaves? Wouldn't they tear?
