Striped Background
Hello crafters! We are working with the Striped Weaving die in today's video offering, but you don't always need to weave a background to use it. Here is another lovely look that can be achieved with this versatile die.
The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hello Sue Up early today can't sleep with painful fingers! Love the Noble Dies and can't get enough of them! Thats clever use of the stripe Dies too! Lovely elegant card! Take care Love Marg
HI SUE FABULOUS CARD AND I WAS HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS YOU WITH THE STRIPED WEAVING DIE. I HAVE USED IT AS A STENCIL FOR JAIL BARS ON A CARD (FATHERS DAY CARD WITH DAD BEHIND BARS), AND HAD USED STICKY BACK FOAM TO MAKE A STAMP WITH IT. BUT DIDNT THINK OF THE ICED SNOW. I SURE WILL BE TRYING IT. IT LOOKS SO GOOD WITH NOT A BOW OR FLOWER IN SIGHT. GREAT JOB. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX PS ANOTHER FAB TOP YOUR WEARING IN THE VIDEO
Morning Sue, a gorgeous card off to check video as I will be trying this one. June hope your computer is behaving better today missed your smiling face yesterday. Nancyd xx
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. The noble die's are fantastic for making framed card's which i love doing since i got the noble die collection's. The weaving die's are on my wish list but it just seem's to be getting BIGGER which is going to happen again when your new festive collection come's out next month LOL but it give's us crafter's something to look forward to and to aim on owning them all. Thank you for another great video. Take care everyone and hope you are getting better weather than we are in Co/Durham. Dark,cold and raining. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Good morning everyone. I remember this one. I thought it was so different. The bling really works and the frame is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing. Big hug Julie E
Good morning Sue. Another great video tutorial, thank you for showing us an alternative way to use the striped weaving die. I can see this would be a good idea for those difficult male cards. Love the added bling!x
Morning Sue So simple; so less is more and so so beautiful. That's today's gift and I can already see so many versions for so many occasions with just some tiny finishing touches. Your colour palette just enhances all your dies and just makes this gift a delight to receive.
It's a full on crafting day for me YEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day get better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow. Janet x
Good morning Sue and everyone Certainly another effective use of the weaving dies. Will have to watch the video after work but the card looks terrific. Have a great day. Ang x
Morning Sue what a classy card I love the colour. And your design is wonderful. I have these dies So I will be having ago at this one. Off to watch the video now Have a nice day.
Good morning Sue Such a pretty use of the weaving dies, I've done similar but I cut the glitter card into stripes but your way is so much easier. It's killing me not being able to craft hopefully it won't be much longer. Today's card is beautiful in its simplicity I absolutely love it. Hugs x Heather T
Good morning Sue, Love today's card everything is beautiful This one shows just how versatile all your Dies are. Thank you for the inspiration. As always off to watch and learn. Have a great day Hugs Patricia xxx
What a clever idea!...just goes to show that the weaving dies don't have to be used just for woven effects and that debossed Noble die makes a perfect frame for this design
Firstly I would like to say what a fabulous idea to use the weaving dies as strips Sue & as always the Noble die sets the card of beautifully, I look at this gorgeous card & imagine it with floral & frond elements but for a guy it is perfect as it is.
I was up at 5am this morning so have taken advantage of this time to read through the comments from the last couple of days....I think everything caught up on me yesterday, what with Lauren & heatstroke leaving me feeling fatigued, I only work part time with kiddies but I took the day off to completely stay out of the sun (yes we did have some strong sunshine along with the rain) & try to recuperate...all through the day I dozed on & off & must say, rather ashamedly, that I did absolutely nothing except care for my gorgeous doggies needs. Then I crept off to bed early & slept some more...what a lazy mare...lol...I’m not used to it.
Anyways lovely Wilsonettes when reading back over the comments I was so sincerely moved by the lovely messages from you..Sam S; Karen M; Patwyn; Sandra; ‘P’ in Wales; Alimecca; Theresa; Heather T; Lorraine E; Meg; Cheryl B; Maureen K; Fluffy Cat; Lynda’s Craft’s; Magpie; Barbara; Maria A; Wheely Bad & Deb Curtis x x x (hope I haven’t missed anyone out x x x)
You all deserve an extra special mention & of course there are hugs & kisses winging their way to you from Lauren, with special Paw Hugs & kisses to Billy x x x. I passed all your hugs etc onto to Lauren & I must have had a thousand kisses in return... I have passed them on but I’ll keep a few for myself if that’s okay...lol...
Ps Hannah, her companion, got in the act naturally & passed on a few kisses aswel...
I was very, very moved and emotionally touched (yes you guessed it many a tear rolled down along the way of reading) by all your very kind thoughts & beautiful kind words, I wish I had seen them all on Sunday & thanked you yesterday so please do not think me rude...
I will keep you posted about Lauren, but at the moment the vet recommended Denamarin (& to buy it cheaper online) which won’t cure her condition but it will help as she also has arthritis in her back legs & has the occasional 3 day course of Onsior when she is suffering more due to changes in weather.
Thank you again lovely ladies (((((hugs))))) to you & especially to those who need an extra hug or two...(((((coming your way))))) & not forgetting your beautiful pets (((((hugs))))) Love Beth B x x x
Hi Sue. What a lovely card you have for us today. I love the way you have used the woven lines in the background. A great card for the men too, that is always a bonus : ) Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care xx
Dear Sue What a wonderful card, I would never have known that the die can be used in this way....I love it! I have managed to book on one of your demos so cannot wait for next Thursday. Take Care Love Michelle S xxx
Gorgeous card. Love these dies. The sparkle in the background is great. Will have to try something like this . Thanks!! For the inspiration you give us every day. Hugs CraftyJacq xx
Morning Sue, This card is gorgeous, the video is fabulous, and I'm loving how you have added the glitter with the weaving die-cuts, so effective. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Sue, beautiful morning here in Gloucestershire and hopefully it will stay that way. Love the card those stripes look gorgeous and its a simple design but with a stunning result. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
Lovely elegant card today, Sue, very clever use of the weaving die for the background and - of course - just adore the Noble frame. Great video - thank you. Nice top, too!
Good morning Sue, I really like this very pretty glitter card, with a change of sentiment it can be used for any occasion. I gave this noble die and I love it, one of my most favourite dies to date. X Ros
Hi Sue, completely different look to yesterday's card but every bit as beautiful. A winner in every sense, for both sexes. And for the males I would use microbeads instead of glitter (glitter definitely reserved for the "sisters"). At first glance the weaving dies are a bit nondescript but their versatility is huge.
And the Nobles, as I keep saying, are stunners. Hugs, Rose
Beautiful card and the Noble dies are now on the top of my list, I have resisted but they are now must haves. Would never have thought there were so many uses for the weaving dies, like Rose I didn't think too much of them at the start but am coming to think I need them more every time you show us more of their versatility.
Hi Sue & friends, A lovely sophisticated look today, just enough sparkle to remain elegant and mixed with the grey/silver it just looks stunning! Your endless creativity blows me away Sue, I have been lucky enough to be inspired by you everyday for about five years! I have also made some incredibly amazing friends, thank you Sue. Sending live & hugs to everyone, Sandra xxxxx
Hi Sue. A really pretty and elegant card. I have the weaving dies but just can't get the hang of them. I might give it another go after watching your video. Regards, Evis M.
What a great card to choose for a demo, I will really enjoy watching this gem later. On first inspection, from a distance, this card looks quite simple and straightforward. However, this is so far from the truth, it is simply sensational and I can only imagine how spectacular it must be in real life . I am quietly desperate to own the weaving dies to make a crude attempt at something similar to your stunning masterpieces-I am hoping that they may be part of your next shows on C and C which I hope are coming soon, it seems like ages since our last Suefest! No proper crafting for me today, I have what I call my monthly MoT at my GP surgery-apart from my usual seizures I seem to be pretty stable at the moment so hopefully I will scrape a pass this time. I'll try and squeeze in a little cross stitching later though- I am attempting one of my two departed pussies Gizmo and Dante for my Mums birthday but it is colossal and I am fast running out of time, it has 47 different threads and is my most intricate creation to date but hey, I love a challenge! Sending love and hugs to all the marvellous Wilsonettes, particularly those who are needing special mentionxxxxxx
Hello Sue, and all the ladies, This card is so beautiful and elegant, but what can you expect when using the Noble dies? It would also make a good man's card without the glitter!!! Beth, glad to see you are on the mend and that Lauren is being well cared for. Mrs B, hope you are feeling better today. Lorraine, good luck with the x stitch. I hope everyone has as good a day as they can. Love Maureen xx
Another easy simple card but so pretty. Such lovely dies and great colour. Again I'm thinking with a little modification it will make a great male card. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice card Sue. So different from yesterdays frills but just as lovely.
Hugs to Cully, Lauren and Hannah xxx. Had to take my little poodle to vet yesterday as he's developed a limp - not sure why but got medicine to take. Monty is 10 years old this week so a bit of arthritis in't out of the question. Anyway rest and recuperation is the order of the day - I might try it too!!!
Hope all our poorly pals are feeling a little better day by day.. Love and hugs Meg xxx
Good afternoon Sue I really enjoyed today's video it has given me lots of ideas. The card is stunning. I think the dies are going on my ever expanding wish list. Enjoy the rest of the day. Hugs Jackie
Good morning Sue, another outstanding card today. Great way to use the weaving die with the glitter. When I first saw these dies, I wasn't so sure of them but of course bought them anyways and am so glad I did. They are so versatile and so many ways to use them. Thanks for sharing yet another idea for us. Have a great day.
I am so pleased I have bought these weaving dies, you have given us such lovely ideas on how to use them and this one is no exception...A really lovely card Sue, thank you very much....luv Ursula xx
Afternoon Sue and everyone. Thank you for the fabulous video Sue and the Beautiful card. As always you have managed to make something stunning!
I'm sending well wishes to all our poorly pets and hope they are feeling better soon. Same to all Wilsonette's who are not feeling to good at the moment, I wish you better soon too!
Sending cuddles too to all our little ones :-) sure some starting to get bigger now like Skylar,Leo and Cole,
Pat- how is Robbie doing ?
To all wilsonette's, Norah,Sam,Lynda,Sheila,Karen, Janice,Hazel,Janet,YL.June,Wheelybad,ToB,Sandra,Pat ,Mrs B &Mum,Myra,Saba,Maureen,Jess,Lynne M,Jean, Alison,Cheryl,Patricia,Brenda,Littlelamb, Craftynanna,Michele,Margaret,Diane,Jacquie, and our lovely Sue Have a nice afternoon,
The weaving dies used in the normal way produce some wonderful cards. Seeing your alternative use has now got me thinking about Christmas stripes so thank you for another great idea. The Nobel dies are now top of my birthday present wish list along with the weaving dies. And then there are the new ones on the way. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Hi Sue, I watched the video first today! The Noble Dies are just beautiful and make gorgeous frames! I love the soft colour palette and the simply elegant sentiment! Really like this one too. Well, today we have sunshine! What a difference it makes. It cheers everyone no everything up! Do hope it lasts for a little while. Janet - thank you for wafting the sunshine our way! Xx Saba - enjoy your day at anchor! Relax ! Xx Sending hugs to all who are unwell or lonely or sad , or indeed a combination of the above! Xx Love to you Sue, take care! Myra xxx
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes, I like how you have a glitter strip running through between the normal strips making it look more like a background paper than it being a die cut. This a lovely "simple" looking card that has pizzazz without it being right in your face so brilliant for our quieter flowers that are not big on the see me look or even to give to the hard to please ones that satisfies our urges for prettiness but their no fluff look. Thank you Sue for a great card that could be for some of the men that i have to make cards for to thank them for all they have done for Rory. I am trying to make cards that correspond with either the classes that the teachers teach or activities that they do with the children, but some are just impossible to coordinate with anything so this will make a lovely card for the ones that i am just brain dead thinking about. It's been a lovely day here at the Ochil's with a beautiful colour of blue adorning our skyline so i hope that where ever you are today you are having a lovely day even if the weather is not behaving itself. I am back to trying to make these male cards so i will wish you all well and leave you with crafty hugs to keep you company. Love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue, such a beautiful stunning card and i have both stripped dies but no noble die, i am in Ireland at the moment but i will definately be ordering it next week when i get back home, it is so versatile and can be used loads of times, I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying a little spot of sunshine wherever they are. hugs to all, Johanna
Hello Sue and lovely Wilsonettes The sun is finally shining here, hooray. Will watch the video as a treat after doing some jobs, what better way to relax! This is deceptively simple looking but stunning and would make a great guys card. Love the stripes alternating from pierced to glitter, what a great idea. I'm building a long list of dies to give out for my birthday-with-a-nought-on-it-wish-list later in the year. Nobles are high up in the ranking. Sending Cully, Lauren and Monty poochy woofs and hugs from Suzie (my little JRT)and love and blessings to all xx Deb C xx
Hi Sue, Lovely card and great use of the weaving die. Personally, I haven't got any of today's dies but I can still look and admire. Beth hope you're feeling better and pleased to hear that Lauren is a bit better too. When our border collie had arthritis we used to give her chondroitin - once sent for some proper doggie stuff which was so expensive, but then someone told us to give her the human stuff - far cheaper and it really worked for her. What with that and the smoked salmon she got every day she did really well. When I had to have her put down ( at age 24!) the vet came to the house and said " What a beautiful coat she has!" She nearly choked when I told her it was the smoked salmon!!. Well the bathroom has been started today but unfortunately the Plummer can't come now until Friday, so have to use downstairs loo. At least he left us with the bath and shower so we can get washed! Sick of the mess already and the poor cat is having a nervous breakdown I think! Finally have some sun this afternoon - what a difference it makes - just hope it stays for a while. Love and hugs to all, Alison xxxx
Hi Sue, a most attractive card and the de-bossed die in silver is gorgeous. Using the weaving day in this way is inspired. Today's video kept pixelating for me but luckily not in the important places.
Extra pats and cuddles for all our poorly pets especially Cully, Lauren & now Monty. My cats would send meows and purrs but they are too self-centred to think mere dogs would appreciate them properly lol :D
Beautiful card and gorgeous colours. I have the weaving dies but haven't really used them yet. This card has given me the inspiration to have a go with them.
BETH glad you are feeling a bit better and Lauren is okay, hopefully they can keep her condition under control and let her lead a normal life. Spoil her rotten!!!
Hi Sue, Beautiful card today....have got the noble dies they make fantastic frames, so far I have resisted buying the weaving dies, but the more I see them demonstrated, the more I think I need them! Love Janet x from Wakefield
Hellooooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oh faddy mandazy Sue! This is beautiful. Great video (as always) x Love how you have used the weaving dies and covered it in Iced Snow (my favourite in the sparkle range!) The Noble dies are a card in itself and I love the Greek ones too......! "Thank you so much Sue" for your inspiration and videos which are the icing on the cake....as well as your gorgeous dies....xx Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and to your family. I hope the medication Onsimor and the Denamarin will give a bit of comfort to Hannah, Beth. Thinking of you and sending love and hugs to you, Lauren and Hanna. Thank you for the lovely girly kisses xx Sending love and hugs to all of our Wilsonettes who are in need too xx Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx ps sue, I'm loving the gorgeous tops that you wear. What a gorgeous style and lovely colours! xx :)
Hi Sue, another lovely card, the weaving die seems to have a lot of uses an I love the noble dies I have all of them now an there all fantastic. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx
Hello Sue I am very late posting today but just a short note to say how elegant your card is today. Very pretty colours and with a lovely sparkle! I do not have any of these dies but they are on the List!! Lesley S x
Hi Sue, lovely card, love the sparkle, it's all very classy looking, LOVE IT. I have been playing - Oops using my weaving dies this week, I must try this design out. It could be adapted very easily for C.......S (can't bring myself to use the word yet! ) Sending love and Hugs, Brenda xxx
A very spectacular card Sue! When you say to emboss the card then cut it doesn't the embossing get flattened or do the cutting dies hold the rollers away enough??
What a brilliant idea, I've lost count of all the ideas you had for this die (and good idea of prison bars from one of the Wilsonettes too!). A simple looking (I say looking as simple cards can take a lot of effort too) card that's very pretty.
Late today, AWOL yesterday... I will try to be better with my time! Periods of being active requires rest after and I just run out of day- Had to check in before bed though x
Beth I hope Lauren is ok. Billy is happy to give and take as many cuddles, kisses and waggy tails as he can with either doggy or person. He is very cuddly for a big dog though at the minute he's on his bed, which he dragged across the room to be close to me- or to block me from leaving the room as he does this every night after his bedtime wander around the garden. We both hope Cully is ok Lynne, sending wags, woofs and paw hugs to her and to Megs Monty (I have a soft spot for poodles). Frances, I laughed a lot at your comment about the cats, I do agree with the saying "cats have staff" as they often have that air of being the superior race in the room! I noticed how much cheaper it is to get pet medicines online, even with a prescription charge. We saved nearly £40 on the cost of 6 months supply of Billys anti flea/tick/ lungworm treatment buying online as opposed to getting it from the vet! We hope all the furry friends are doing well x
Time for sleeps, hope everyone has some sunshine tomorrow (the east was hidden under a blanket of cloud today), hugs to you all with lots extra on the bench if they're needed.
Hi Sue I love the way you've used the weaving dies for 'not weaving', lol!! This card is absolutely gorgeous. Once again you show us how versatile your dies are. You are brilliant. My body clock is really not behaving hence the time of this comment. If I wait a little while I'll be early for Wednesday's card. {From one extreme to another}! Sending love to everyone and hugs to everyone who is not in fine fettle or feeling under the weather. Crafty hugs Yvonne x
Hi Sue. I love the silver embossing in this cut! What a fantastic idea to use the weaving die behind the front sentiment panel too. Love the sparkle addition. Gorgeous look!

Good card Sue, the background could be good for a mans card too. Thank you.Xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue, like the background effect on today's card ... such a useful die.

Morning Sue, a great video and a really lovely classy card. So many uses for the Weaving dies are moving closer to the top of my wish list.

Lovely elegant card today, Sue, very clever use of the weaving die for the background and - of course - just adore the Noble frame. Great video - thank you. Nice top, too!

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletecompletely different look to yesterday's card but every bit as beautiful. A winner in every sense, for both sexes. And for the males I would use microbeads instead of glitter (glitter definitely reserved for the "sisters").
At first glance the weaving dies are a bit nondescript but their versatility is huge.
And the Nobles, as I keep saying, are stunners.
Hugs, Rose
Hi sue, What a beautiful card today, thanks for sharing crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
ReplyDeleteHi sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a very striking card love the background
thanks for showing us
Hugs sarah xxxx
Stunning Sue. Love the background. Enjoyed watching the video.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and the Noble dies are now on the top of my list, I have resisted but they are now must haves. Would never have thought there were so many uses for the weaving dies, like Rose I didn't think too much of them at the start but am coming to think I need them more every time you show us more of their versatility.

Hi Sue,beautiful card again today, weaving dies are on my wish list, I already have the Noble dies!(love them)x

Hi Sue & friends,
ReplyDeleteA lovely sophisticated look today, just enough sparkle to remain elegant and mixed with the grey/silver it just looks stunning!
Your endless creativity blows me away Sue, I have been lucky enough to be inspired by you everyday for about five years!
I have also made some incredibly amazing friends, thank you Sue.
Sending live & hugs to everyone,
Sandra xxxxx
Hi Sue.
ReplyDeleteA really pretty and elegant card.
I have the weaving dies but just can't get the hang of them.
I might give it another go after watching your video.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely card again today. I am going to take some inspiration from this card to try to make a similar card.

Good morning Sue and all who look in
ReplyDeleteWell this is so lovely, I do love all the different textures.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card to choose for a demo, I will really enjoy watching this gem later. On first inspection, from a distance, this card looks quite simple and straightforward. However, this is so far from the truth, it is simply sensational and I can only imagine how spectacular it must be in real life . I am quietly desperate to own the weaving dies to make a crude attempt at something similar to your stunning masterpieces-I am hoping that they may be part of your next shows on C and C which I hope are coming soon, it seems like ages since our last Suefest!
No proper crafting for me today, I have what I call my monthly MoT at my GP surgery-apart from my usual seizures I seem to be pretty stable at the moment so hopefully I will scrape a pass this time. I'll try and squeeze in a little cross stitching later though- I am attempting one of my two departed pussies Gizmo and Dante for my Mums birthday but it is colossal and I am fast running out of time, it has 47 different threads and is my most intricate creation to date but hey, I love a challenge!
Sending love and hugs to all the marvellous Wilsonettes, particularly those who are needing special mentionxxxxxx
Love and crafty hugs,

Hello Sue, and all the ladies,
ReplyDeleteThis card is so beautiful and elegant, but what can you expect when using the Noble dies? It would also make a good man's card without the glitter!!!
Beth, glad to see you are on the mend and that Lauren is being well cared for.
Mrs B, hope you are feeling better today.
Lorraine, good luck with the x stitch.
I hope everyone has as good a day as they can.
Love Maureen xx

Hello Sue and all.
ReplyDeleteAnother easy simple card but so pretty. Such lovely dies and great colour. Again I'm thinking with a little modification it will make a great male card. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Very nice card Sue. So different from yesterdays frills but just as lovely.
ReplyDeleteHugs to Cully, Lauren and Hannah xxx.
Had to take my little poodle to vet yesterday as he's developed a limp - not sure why but got medicine to take. Monty is 10 years old this week so a bit of arthritis in't out of the question. Anyway rest and recuperation is the order of the day - I might try it too!!!
Hope all our poorly pals are feeling a little better day by day..
Love and hugs

Hi sue.
ReplyDeleteStunning card x
Lovely card, just came back from work, going to make a coffee and sit down to watch the video. Love, Ivy xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue, another outstanding card today. Great way to use the weaving die with the glitter. When I first saw these dies, I wasn't so sure of them but of course bought them anyways and am so glad I did. They are so versatile and so many ways to use them. Thanks for sharing yet another idea for us. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased I have bought these weaving dies, you have given us such lovely ideas on how to use them and this one is no exception...A really lovely card Sue, thank you very much....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue another idea on using the noble dies which I love.x
ReplyDeleteA lovely card and something a bit different. All the dies are so versatile aren't they?

The weaving dies used in the normal way produce some wonderful cards. Seeing your alternative use has now got me thinking about Christmas stripes so thank you for another great idea. The Nobel dies are now top of my birthday present wish list along with the weaving dies. And then there are the new ones on the way. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
ReplyDeleteI really love how this card came out!! The striping is eye catching and I really need these dies now!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteA very elegant card today. The video is great too.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI watched the video first today! The Noble Dies are just beautiful and make gorgeous frames! I love the soft colour palette and the simply elegant sentiment! Really like this one too.
Well, today we have sunshine! What a difference it makes. It cheers everyone no everything up! Do hope it lasts for a little while.
Janet - thank you for wafting the sunshine our way! Xx
Saba - enjoy your day at anchor! Relax ! Xx
Sending hugs to all who are unwell or lonely or sad , or indeed a combination of the above! Xx
Love to you Sue, take care!

Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteI like how you have a glitter strip running through between the normal strips making it look more like a background paper than it being a die cut. This a lovely "simple" looking card that has pizzazz without it being right in your face so brilliant for our quieter flowers that are not big on the see me look or even to give to the hard to please ones that satisfies our urges for prettiness but their no fluff look. Thank you Sue for a great card that could be for some of the men that i have to make cards for to thank them for all they have done for Rory. I am trying to make cards that correspond with either the classes that the teachers teach or activities that they do with the children, but some are just impossible to coordinate with anything so this will make a lovely card for the ones that i am just brain dead thinking about.
It's been a lovely day here at the Ochil's with a beautiful colour of blue adorning our skyline so i hope that where ever you are today you are having a lovely day even if the weather is not behaving itself. I am back to trying to make these male cards so i will wish you all well and leave you with crafty hugs to keep you company.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Great way to get more mileage from the dies. Thanks for some really wonderful ideas, Sue! This is such an elegant card design.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, such a striking card, with great ideas to use the dies differently. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, such a beautiful stunning card and i have both stripped dies but no noble die, i am in Ireland at the moment but i will definately be ordering it next week when i get back home, it is so versatile and can be used loads of times, I hope everyone is keeping well and enjoying a little spot of sunshine wherever they are. hugs to all, Johanna
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and lovely Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteThe sun is finally shining here, hooray. Will watch the video as a treat after doing some jobs, what better way to relax! This is deceptively simple looking but stunning and would make a great guys card. Love the stripes alternating from pierced to glitter, what a great idea. I'm building a long list of dies to give out for my birthday-with-a-nought-on-it-wish-list later in the year. Nobles are high up in the ranking.
Sending Cully, Lauren and Monty poochy woofs and hugs from Suzie (my little JRT)and love and blessings to all xx

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card and great use of the weaving die. Personally, I haven't got any of today's dies but I can still look and admire.
Beth hope you're feeling better and pleased to hear that Lauren is a bit better too. When our border collie had arthritis we used to give her chondroitin - once sent for some proper doggie stuff which was so expensive, but then someone told us to give her the human stuff - far cheaper and it really worked for her. What with that and the smoked salmon she got every day she did really well. When I had to have her put down ( at age 24!) the vet came to the house and said " What a beautiful coat she has!" She nearly choked when I told her it was the smoked salmon!!. Well the bathroom has been started today but unfortunately the Plummer can't come now until Friday, so have to use downstairs loo. At least he left us with the bath and shower so we can get washed! Sick of the mess already and the poor cat is having a nervous breakdown I think!
Finally have some sun this afternoon - what a difference it makes - just hope it stays for a while.
Love and hugs to all, Alison xxxx
Hi Sue, a most attractive card and the de-bossed die in silver is gorgeous. Using the weaving day in this way is inspired. Today's video kept pixelating for me but luckily not in the important places.
ReplyDeleteExtra pats and cuddles for all our poorly pets especially Cully, Lauren & now Monty. My cats would send meows and purrs but they are too self-centred to think mere dogs would appreciate them properly lol :D
Frances
love the card details
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning. Another fab way to use the dies
ReplyDeleteLuv
karen xx
Very pretty card Sue with beautiful colours.xx
ReplyDeleteYet another different use of your dies, Sue. Very elegant card suitable for male or female.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and gorgeous colours. I have the weaving dies but haven't really used them yet. This card has given me the inspiration to have a go with them.
ReplyDeleteBETH glad you are feeling a bit better and Lauren is okay, hopefully they can keep her condition under control and let her lead a normal life. Spoil her rotten!!!
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today....have got the noble dies they make fantastic frames, so far I have resisted buying the weaving dies, but the more I see them demonstrated, the more I think I need them!

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis card is beautiful, as usual!!!!
fantastic card ,Laura O
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the weaving dies I have them but have not used them much this card will inspire me.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful background and lovely card
ReplyDeleteHellooooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oh faddy mandazy Sue! This is beautiful. Great video (as always) x Love how you have used the weaving dies and covered it in Iced Snow (my favourite in the sparkle range!) The Noble dies are a card in itself and I love the Greek ones too......! "Thank you so much Sue" for your inspiration and videos which are the icing on the cake....as well as your gorgeous dies....xx Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and to your family. I hope the medication Onsimor and the Denamarin will give a bit of comfort to Hannah, Beth. Thinking of you and sending love and hugs to you, Lauren and Hanna. Thank you for the lovely girly kisses xx Sending love and hugs to all of our Wilsonettes who are in need too xx Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx ps sue, I'm loving the gorgeous tops that you wear. What a gorgeous style and lovely colours! xx :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, another lovely card, the weaving die seems to have a lot of uses an I love the noble dies I have all of them now an there all fantastic. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx
ReplyDeleteOh an thank you for sharing with the wonderful video xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card today Sue and thank you for the video. Would make a good male card in different colours.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteI am very late posting today but just a short note to say how elegant your card is today. Very pretty colours and with a lovely sparkle!
I do not have any of these dies but they are on the List!!
Lesley S x
Hi Sue, lovely card, love the sparkle, it's all very classy looking, LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteI have been playing - Oops using my weaving dies this week, I must try this design out. It could be adapted very easily for C.......S (can't bring myself to use the word yet! )
Sending love and Hugs, Brenda xxx
Hi Sue,

A very spectacular card Sue! When you say to emboss the card then cut it doesn't the embossing get flattened or do the cutting dies hold the rollers away enough??
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea, I've lost count of all the ideas you had for this die (and good idea of prison bars from one of the Wilsonettes too!). A simple looking (I say looking as simple cards can take a lot of effort too) card that's very pretty.
Late today, AWOL yesterday... I will try to be better with my time! Periods of being active requires rest after and I just run out of day- Had to check in before bed though x
Beth I hope Lauren is ok. Billy is happy to give and take as many cuddles, kisses and waggy tails as he can with either doggy or person. He is very cuddly for a big dog though at the minute he's on his bed, which he dragged across the room to be close to me- or to block me from leaving the room as he does this every night after his bedtime wander around the garden. We both hope Cully is ok Lynne, sending wags, woofs and paw hugs to her and to Megs Monty (I have a soft spot for poodles). Frances, I laughed a lot at your comment about the cats, I do agree with the saying "cats have staff" as they often have that air of being the superior race in the room! I noticed how much cheaper it is to get pet medicines online, even with a prescription charge. We saved nearly £40 on the cost of 6 months supply of Billys anti flea/tick/ lungworm treatment buying online as opposed to getting it from the vet! We hope all the furry friends are doing well x
Time for sleeps, hope everyone has some sunshine tomorrow (the east was hidden under a blanket of cloud today), hugs to you all with lots extra on the bench if they're needed.

Love this card .. xx

Lovely design. Computer playing up so I can't see the video. Have to try again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've used the weaving dies for 'not weaving', lol!!
This card is absolutely gorgeous. Once again you show us how versatile your dies are. You are brilliant.
My body clock is really not behaving hence the time of this comment. If I wait a little while I'll be early for Wednesday's card. {From one extreme to another}!
Sending love to everyone and hugs to everyone who is not in fine fettle or feeling under the weather.
