Make It Square
Hello bloggers! Today's video card shows a few more ways to use several of the dies from the Caribbean Collection to their fullest. I hope you have a few minutes to sit and watch.
The finished dimensions are
6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and all lovely card and your usual clever use of dies. You make it look so easy on the video, love the use of rectangles to make a square, such a different look and more versatility for the dies. I don't have any of the Caribbean collection but am rethinking that, Muriel x
Hi Sue. Such a beautiful delicate card and one of my favourite pastel colour's too. Still need to invest in these dies but still trying to catch up with the past 3 launches lol as still have the majority of French/Spanish/Italian and all others before we hit the Canadian, Portuguese etc islands to invest in seems like Im well behind : ( Its so easy to change your dies to fit any occassion Sue as you know exactly what is needed, so thanks for showing us how via another wonderful video. Welcome home Sam, hope you had a wonderful holiday. Sending hugs to you Sue. Have a wonderful day. Lancashire Steph xx

Morning Sue A really beautiful gift which would brighten anyone's day wherever they are. It's also an excellent starting point for either dressing up or down; using different colours for different genders. I love your soft colour palette today. Aqua always hits the spot for me. All in all one wonderful gift.
Well we have blue skies, sunshine and very little wind at the moment and I have everything crossed that I can that it will be warmer today than yesterday!! I have one hectic day ahead of me in that I'm trying to get things sorted for going to my Summer retreat next week; it's Knit and Natter this afternoon and it's my turn for the demo so I need 10 complete sets of the card for my crafting buddies to do and to finish the day off visit my GP at 18.00hrs and after all that I shall be well and truly zonked. I just need my crafting friends to co-operate this afternoon.
To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow. Janet x

Gold morning a Sue &.friends, I must apologise for my absence this past few days, I have been really poorly, I spent last night at the Emergengy Assesment Unit and today I am waiting for a CT scan, they are not sure whether I have a severe sinus problem, bells palsy (bought on by huge amount of stress recently) or Trigeminal Neuralgia, I have everything crossed it's not the last one although it is the one they think it's most likely to be, they think it's caused by blood vessels in your head pressing on the nerve that crosses your face! I don't think I am ready to take on another long term pain problem, I have already got my fair share! I am saving your video to watch during my long wait Sue, your card is as always stunning. Xx Thank you to my cafe ladies, for keeping it going in my absence and for your continued love and support. Love and hugs Sandra Xxxxxxx
Mornin sue and crafty crew Another stunner. I have the main die and circle one but not the square bit I'm sure I can use something similar for s bit of a mix up lol x

Hi Sue, What a lovely card you present us with again today. Certainly goes with the sunny day we're having - perhaps summer is coming. Every time I see your dies I think they are stunners. And that goes right across the board. The Caribbean b/grd is just gorgeous. Hugs, Rose
I love all these new dies, so versatile, especially when you use them, by cutting and replacing bits and pieces...the aqua card and white look so lovely and delicate...thank you for the video, so informative....lovey card...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue - very pretty card again and I do love the pastel colours you have been using. Can't believe what you do with your dies, you come up with so many different ideas it's amazing. Thank you for sharing with us all, best wishes YvonneMayxx
Another beautiful card. This collection wasn't one of my favourites, but I think it is slowing becoming one. Love both yesterday and today's posts and the colour combo as usual is lovely.
Hope you are continuing to have a lovely break- the sunshine has finally reached Stirling and I am torn between my love of crafting and a severe need for a bit of colour on my anaemic frame, maybe it could do both and watch your fab demo in the garden!Result!! What a gorgeous card for today, appropriately sky blue, light and summery. Luckily I have the Caribbean set so I can try to recreate this little gem whilst thanking you for taking the time to show us your technique step by step. I just LOVE video days, they are the absolute highlight of my crafting week. Keep up the great work Sue, in the knowledge that it is very much appreciated. Enjoy your day everyone, hoping the sun is shining wherever you may be.
Hi Sue, A very pretty card! I haven't seen the video as yet but will watch that a little later. Love the delicate colours. Sandra - hope all goes well today and that it won't take all day! Hope the whole experience doesn't tire you out completely! Sending lots of love xxx Julie - so pleased you had a lovely birthday! Well, craft room needs attention! Did lots of cutting yesterday for the children's class and I need to clear the chaos! Have a good day everyone! Love Myra xxx PS! Sue - my Let It Snow die is on its way! Lol. Here in good time for this year's cards! Xx
Sorry to sound like a broken record, but this card, as everyone as said is absolutely stunning. Love the choice of dies. Hope it is good news for you Sandra and not what your'e fearing. Take care x
Good luck with the Knit n Natter group Janet(Echo). It's no easy job making up kits, I've done it for WI craft day. It's not just the packs you make up it's all the spares as well in case of any slip ups. Hope all goes well at the Docs too.
Hi Sue, great video to go with a beautiful card, very fresh and lacy looking. The Caribbean dies are gorgeous but sadly I don't have any - yet.
Sandra, sorry you are so poorly. I hope the CT scan doesn't show anything horrible and that you don't have any more pain to contend with. Fingers crossed for you.
Sunshine again today so it's back to fighting the weeds now that the housework is done. Hope everyone else is having a sunny day too. Frances
Another beautiful card Sue it is so lovely and i love the colour aqua, the video was easy to follow, I enjoyed it, Thank You so much Sue for all you do for us. Sandra i am so sorry you are poorly and I hope the Hospital visit and scan are quick to tell you what the problem is. Hugs to all Johanna
Hi Sue, These dies are so intricately delicate it's always a joy to see the works of art you create with them. I really need to put in an order for some of the wonderful card stock that you use as well as the colours are so beautiful. As always, thanks so much for sharing with us and I'm off to watch the video :). x

Totally stunning. Hopefully I will be able to see the video if I don't go to sleep straight after letting Billy out for his bedtime comfort visit to the garden.
Sandra I'm so sorry you've been so poorly x Julie Laz happy belated birthday.
I pushed myself to make my brother a simple birthday card, it took two days as I did it an hour a day but I did it (thank goodness for my trusty noble dies!) We got to see him Sunday, he had a barbecue in my Dads garden, it was lovely to see my mum, her partner, my Dad (one of them!) Dan and his girlfriend. I gave Dan a bit extra for his birthday to say thank you for taking me to the hospital. Billy had a marvellous time trotting round with the other dogs, getting lots of cuddles from his favourite people and they all got spoilt as I took some doggy treats with me. It was really nice to be out but it was all several steps too far for my body. Been very sore & quite exhausted since hence me not visiting. I have missed you all and hope I'll be back tomorrow.
Hugs to you all, wherever you are in the world, extra hugs if they're needed :-)
Hi Sue. Ooooh WOW !! This is gorgeous !! Another beautiful card from your Caribbean Collection !! Thank you so much Sue !! Just perfect. Thanks for a great video to. I love the colours you have used. Great use of the dies to create a beautiful focal element. Fab idea to cut down two of the St Bart's dies and offset them to. I love the new shape that was created by them. I also love you finishing touch of the cute little heart dies in the corners. Really pretty and delicate. Another BIG THANKYOU for your fab video and gorgeous card today. Lots of love and hugs to you Sue from Tres x x x
Lots of love and hugs to everyone today from Tres x x x
HI SUE FAB VIDEO, LOVE YOUR TWANG ON THE AQUA (LIKE YOUR CHALK LOL). GREAT WAY TO TURN YOUR DIE INTO A SQUARE.THINK I WOULD HAVE TO PUT A RIBBON ON THIS CARD. LOVE IT. YOUR SO QUIET AT THE MOMENT, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO? ;-) BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Just watched the video, Sue. A beautiful card in lovely, Aqua and White. Your cards in this colour combo always look stunning !!
Belated Birthday Greetings to you, Julie !! So glad you had a Fab day yesterday, with lots of lovely crafting goodies from your wonderful hubby !! :-) Xx
Sandra hope CT Scan went well and it's better news. Hope you feel better soon Xx
Janet ( Ecco ) hope you're not too exhausted after your busy day. X
Wheelybad , hope you're feeling better and more rested now Xx
Myra P. I'll have my 'Let It Snow' Die on Saturday :-)
It's been another dry, sunny day here, but quite cold at times with the wind. We've had wind of varying strengths for over a week now. It's been like Autumn at times !!!
Hi Sue and everyone. Beautiful card and very nice tutorial video! Thank you for making them all, very preciated for us who can't read instructions very well.
Sending hugs to my friends and all you here on Sue's blog. Wheelybad, ToB, Norah and anyone who need it I send an extra one Take care and hugs Maria x
It's late and I'm trying to catch up with the blog I have missed over the weekend. So, I have just watched the video silently, well silent video with an odd Oh, and Ah, from yours truly. Great video, as always. These new dies are stunning. The corners are another must have together with the gorgeous oval. Are mum's entitled to a wee treat on Father's Day? Wonder if he'd like a set of dies?
Hi Sue Beautiful card today , I love this colour. Thank you for sharing this great video with us. Love Diane G xxx Julie happy belated birthday xx Wheelybad sounds like you and Billy had a lovely time but do take care of yourself xxx Sandra thinking of you xxx CAW I'm sure dad would love a couple of Sues dies, just think of the peace and quiet he will have with you using them! Lol xx
Gorgeous card, such delicate colours. Will watch the video tomorrow. Really pleased that my Let it snow die has arrived. My husband thinks I'm nuts getting it now when, apart from having a play with it, I won't be using it until December. He doesn't understand that it's crafting gold dust. Men!! Take care everyone.
Elegant card in aqua today. Your video on this card was great with very clean instructions. Thank you for the effort you go to on our Wilsonettes' behalf.
Hi Sue...thank you for sharing yet another gorgeous card and fantastic video...the cutting dies are stunning as always but I never would have thought to slightly offset 2 of the same pieces as you did with the St Bart's cutting die, I think when we are learning card making we kind of have a comfort zone that we are a little apprehensive of steering from but you are showing us how to break away from that zone and try different methods of the same cutting die...so thank you for yet another fantastic tip. Appreciate your talents daily Sue, hugs and smiles to you and your family and to all Wilsonettes...take care Love Beth B x x x
Love this card, gorgeous, so delicate looking.

ReplyDeleteI must apologise for my absence this past few days, I have been really poorly, I spent last night at the Emergengy Assesment Unit and today I am waiting for a CT scan, they are not sure whether I have a severe sinus problem, bells palsy (bought on by huge amount of stress recently) or Trigeminal Neuralgia, I have everything crossed it's not the last one although it is the one they think it's most likely to be, they think it's caused by blood vessels in your head pressing on the nerve that crosses your face! I don't think I am ready to take on another long term pain problem, I have already got my fair share!

Luckily I have the Caribbean set so I can try to recreate this little gem whilst thanking you for taking the time to show us your technique step by step. I just LOVE video days, they are the absolute highlight of my crafting week. Keep up the great work Sue, in the knowledge that it is very much appreciated.
Enjoy your day everyone, hoping the sun is shining wherever you may be.
Crafty love and hugs,

ReplyDeleteLove card Sue, pretty and lacy.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Knit n Natter group Janet(Echo). It's no easy job making up kits, I've done it for WI craft day. It's not just the packs you make up it's all the spares as well in case of any slip ups. Hope all goes well at the Docs too.
Love and Hugs to everyone.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, great video to go with a beautiful card, very fresh and lacy looking. The Caribbean dies are gorgeous but sadly I don't have any - yet.
ReplyDeleteSandra, sorry you are so poorly. I hope the CT scan doesn't show anything horrible and that you don't have any more pain to contend with. Fingers crossed for you.
Sunshine again today so it's back to fighting the weeds now that the housework is done. Hope everyone else is having a sunny day too.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteTotally stunning. Hopefully I will be able to see the video if I don't go to sleep straight after letting Billy out for his bedtime comfort visit to the garden.
Sandra I'm so sorry you've been so poorly x Julie Laz happy belated birthday.
I pushed myself to make my brother a simple birthday card, it took two days as I did it an hour a day but I did it (thank goodness for my trusty noble dies!) We got to see him Sunday, he had a barbecue in my Dads garden, it was lovely to see my mum, her partner, my Dad (one of them!) Dan and his girlfriend. I gave Dan a bit extra for his birthday to say thank you for taking me to the hospital. Billy had a marvellous time trotting round with the other dogs, getting lots of cuddles from his favourite people and they all got spoilt as I took some doggy treats with me. It was really nice to be out but it was all several steps too far for my body. Been very sore & quite exhausted since hence me not visiting. I have missed you all and hope I'll be back tomorrow.
Hugs to you all, wherever you are in the world, extra hugs if they're needed :-)

Hi Sue. Ooooh WOW !! This is gorgeous !! Another beautiful card from your Caribbean Collection !! Thank you so much Sue !! Just perfect. Thanks for a great video to. I love the colours you have used. Great use of the dies to create a beautiful focal element. Fab idea to cut down two of the St Bart's dies and offset them to. I love the new shape that was created by them. I also love you finishing touch of the cute little heart dies in the corners. Really pretty and delicate. Another BIG THANKYOU for your fab video and gorgeous card today. Lots of love and hugs to you Sue from Tres x x x

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuper card, love the demo.
Thank you for sharing.
It's late and I'm trying to catch up with the blog I have missed over the weekend. So, I have just watched the video silently, well silent video with an odd Oh, and Ah, from yours truly. Great video, as always. These new dies are stunning. The corners are another must have together with the gorgeous oval. Are mum's entitled to a wee treat on Father's Day? Wonder if he'd like a set of dies?
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today , I love this colour. Thank you for sharing this great video with us.
Love Diane G xxx
Julie happy belated birthday xx
Wheelybad sounds like you and Billy had a lovely time but do take care of yourself xxx
Sandra thinking of you xxx
CAW I'm sure dad would love a couple of Sues dies, just think of the peace and quiet he will have with you using them! Lol xx
Hi Sue,

Gorgeous card, such delicate colours. Will watch the video tomorrow. Really pleased that my Let it snow die has arrived. My husband thinks I'm nuts getting it now when, apart from having a play with it, I won't be using it until December. He doesn't understand that it's crafting gold dust. Men!!
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
Beautiful card. Colour is stunning
ReplyDeleteLuv
Karen xx
Gorgeous. Lovely, soft and warm.
ReplyDeleteElegant card in aqua today. Your video on this card was great with very clean instructions. Thank you for the effort you go to on our Wilsonettes' behalf.
ReplyDeleteHiSue lovely card with an nice sentiment
ReplyDeleteDenise X
Great technique! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLovely Card Sue!
ReplyDeleteThe colours are lovely and the sentiment is beautiful.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Hi Sue...thank you for sharing yet another gorgeous card and fantastic video...the cutting dies are stunning as always but I never would have thought to slightly offset 2 of the same pieces as you did with the St Bart's cutting die, I think when we are learning card making we kind of have a comfort zone that we are a little apprehensive of steering from but you are showing us how to break away from that zone and try different methods of the same cutting die...so thank you for yet another fantastic tip. Appreciate your talents daily Sue, hugs and smiles to you and your family and to all Wilsonettes...take care Love Beth B x x x
ReplyDeleteGreat work with overlapping and layering for dimension and contrast. LOVE the look, LOVE the color combo. LOVE your work!
