Hello bloggers! I have been playing with my
Lattice and Lace Striplet again! I started by cutting three of them without the outer cutting edge in the background milk card. I backed it with Mocha card. I don't think I have ever used this colour card before, but I really like it. It is sort of cross between a brown and a grey colour (not that my pictures show it very accurately!) It may not be every ones taste but I think it may grow on you if you give it a chance! Next, I cut two more of the striplet out of
milk card, but this time, I used the outer cutting edge with it. I cut two backing pieces out of milk card too for a tone on tone look. I added mounting foam to those and offset them between the three in the background. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
Pierced Flag die set, using a slightly larger one to mat it with
Mocha card. I ran a gold paint pen along the top and bottom edges of it. I mounted it across the card with foam. Using the
Perfect Peony set, I made a multi layered flower using two of each of the larger sizes of the peony. I used a gold paint pen around the edge of each flower before assembling it. A single
cream pearl adorned the centre. I seated it on some
cream tulle and arranged
Mosaic leaves and Splendid Swirls around it for embellishments. I did some double matting with a mocha and a gold mat behind my background piece as well as my final mat layers, which included a paper pierced milk mat layer. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue
I love the colour and style of today's card it's so pretty. The touch of gold on the edges of the flower looks fabulous. Who would have thought you could do this with a striplet I can't wait to have a play.

Morning Sue.
A very lovely lacy card Thank you. I must seek out the Mocha card.
Have fun and take care Kitty.
Hi Sue.
I have the milk card, I have some beautiful mocca type coloured card, I have the peicered flag and peoney dies, unfortunatly I dont own the beautiful delicate striplet die but have seen it on display in my local craft shop (unfortunatly these Notherner's are way back in history and dont open their shop's on Monday) !!! So guess where I will be tomorrow ?
Such a beautiful card to start this gloomy dull wet week in Lancashire, oh well, will just have to play in my 'den' today and re-stock the cards that sold at market yesterday.
Hoping you have a good day Sue whatever your plan's are.
Thinking of Sam and sending hugs. To Tina - have a better day, and barbie - hope you have recovered from jet lag and feeling more human like.
Hugs to you Sue.

Morning Sue,
A lovely card today, I like this die set but as yet haven't got it. I did however have a birthday card made with it as I recognise the shape lol. As always your dies make beautiful cards.
At the moment we have blue sky here am hoping for a drier day than yesterday. On a plus though I finally finished my baby granddaughters quilt so I'm back to card making this afternoon, when my youngest Grandson has gone home.
Have a great day
Maggie in Solihull
Oooooh - like it! Great use of the striplet and mocha card is so unusual. Of course, love the embellishment with the peony flower. It's a YES card!
'P' in Wales
Beautiful card, I think your striplets are so versatile.
The mocha looks very subtle, quite useful for lots of cards were you want a subdued, nderstand look
Morning Sue
Lovely card, I like the colours they work well together,the striplets are beautiful
Thank you
Karen M
GM Sue. It's a must try! That mocha colour looks interesting.....
Morning Sue
What a wonderful way to start the week. One of your beautiful pieces of art.
Today's gift is so lacy and looks so delicate and of course that's all down to your wonderful dies.
Your colour palette today is lovely (I haven't come across that mocca coloured as yet but will be on the lookout for it).
Well we broke our 'duck' yesterday and had RAIN! It started at tea time and went on all evening so at least the garden looks a little refreshed though the water butts are still running on empty. It's quite grey this morning so we'll wait and see what happens today.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Gorgeous card, so much detail. Love the gold edge to the flowers.
Michele
So gorgeous today! The colours you've chosen to use are lovely and the flower is definitely something I'm having a go at. The use of a gold pen on the petals is a wonderful idea. Debra x
Very, very pretty

Good morning Sue,
Well I for one just LOVE the colour combination.

I like this colour Sue it is not grungy or pretty!
Good morning Sue, Love the colour combination! Great card I have the striplet ,must have a go at it! Take care Jane B.
Gorgeous lacy card! I love the colour combination , it's rather classy, and the beautiful flower and touch of gold just finishes it perfectly!
Dull and rainy here this morning.
Hugs to all xo
Morning Sue. This is a really lovely card. I think my favourite dies are the strip let's and I love this one. The mocha colour is nice and would be good for mens cards as well. Thank you for sharing. Hugs Heather.x
Hi Sue, wow love the Mocha card, beautiful creation. Lol lynne m xxxxx
Morning Sue
Love this card. The colour comes across as a dark grey on my screen but I have some card in my stash which sounds very similar to the colour you are describing and I really like it.
I'm sure that this card could be recreated with many of your striplet dies. Saying this as the Lattice and Lace is not one of the dies in my collection (yet)! I do have most of your flower dies and the Peonies are fast becoming my favourite. The gold edges on the flowers are right up my street.
I think this beautiful card would be suitable for so many different occasions - thanks for your continuing inspiration x
Lorraine - obviously as self nominated chair of the BCAS I will have to put the proposal of your membership to the committee. The committee - oh that would be me. I will let you know what the outcome of the vote is x
Magpie - kidnapping. I think you'd be more suited to the Secret Service as oppose to the BCAS. You aren't trying to out do me are you? x
Wheely Bad - welcome back - missed you x
Living in hope that my C & C parcel will arrive soon. The anticipation is overwhelming!
Not a lot on the menu for today. Haircut and colour this evening. Tomorrow got a treat in store - one of my lovely friends treating me to an afternoon at a spa.
Wishing you all a marvellous Monday

Love the colours, Sue and the way you have done the flower.

Hi Sue & Lovely Wilsonettes
This card is an absolute delight; the elegant Striplet is my favourite along with the also elegant ringlet. I think I will give the Mocha a try because I have seen it at CE HQ, it does look lovely it real time but wasn’t sure until I had seen it on this card, another gorgeous versatile card Sue as it can be dressed down for a male card also. The flower is so unique & striking too so I will definitely be making this one...sure I have an Artline gold pen in my stash...thank you for sharing another spectacular masterpiece...where would we be without your kindness & inspiration...x x x
Well my crafty friends, I’ve been AWOL ...what did you say?... into the STOCKADE with you ...oh please I beg you not the stockade...I promise to be good...or will I?... not if BCAS & Yvonne have anything to do with it...brilliant idea but that’s where you went wrong, maybe now you have a name for all your underhanded tactics & with some fine tuning things will turn our way...especially as we seem to have a lot of support....me a Co Founder? Never bribed or corrupted my entire life...ok I’m game seeing as you have perfected your tactic by tempting me & reeling me in along with other hopefuls who are happy to join us...you know what they say there is always a first time for everything...LOL ...So President of BCAS what’s the first thing on the agenda...your wish is my command...lol...
Anyways my friends...remember the black mould creeping around the walls of my craft room...well its Baaaaack!!! The guy who was supposed to cut back & remove the shrubs kept letting us down so I had to take the bull by the horns & go for it myself early on Saturday...the max height for the shrubs planted were 3-4 ft but these beggars had grown to 7ft + must have been the Chicken pooh pellets...the new miracle growing plant food, never again..Lol. Due to my poorly fingers, arthritis & what not the pace was slow & as for digging out the roots etc I was in agony & almost in tears with the effort but by 11am Sunday it was done (then rain poured down) but I was in so much pain & felt so ill I had to rest & kept crashing out...log roll now has to be replaced with stone scallop edging & then plants in pots...not in the ground.
MARIA...Thanku for asking after Lauren...she is stabilised but suffering a bit with the arthritis in her back legs, she sends hugs x x x
DEB C...pleased to know that sister-in-law is doing well & thanku for your lovely comments...but to say the least I am just one of so many who care wholeheartedly about the members of our Wilsonette family x x x
TOB...how lovely of Hubby to buy you those dies...he’s a very wise man...by doing so he knows that no matter how frustrating it can be for you these new ones will give you something to look forward to...you are in my thoughts & prayers to return to us & your crafting soon...take care x x x
Lorraine...you really have been through the mill...yet as always you put that aside & think of others & write with such humour...sincerely hope & pray that you & your Credit card are feeling sufficiently better dear Lorri...ooops can I call you Lorri...lol...as for the crafting hmmmffff no time for that due to let downs... x x x
For anyone who is in need or would just like (((((HUG))))) & smiles then get ready as they are winging their way to you faster than speed of light. Sue I sincerely hope that you have a wonderful time with your MUM & get the chance to rest & relax...you have done so much for us & to me you are so deserving of the best & happiest things in life..Take care my friends Love Beth B x x x x x

Hi Sue,
Gorgeous, gorgeous card today, this is my kind of card, just love the striplets,(think I have most of them)and the gold edge on the flowers is a brilliant idea. I am a big fan of the mocha/coffee colours, they look good with either cream or white.

Hi sue and followers
Love this strip let a really lacy look. So elegant.
Happy crafting on a very wet Monday.

Hello Sue,
Ooh, Mocha and milk!...I love it already, so I hope this is a new colour addition to the Foundations range, we need some stronger, bolder shades - and not just for the men in our lives, as you've shown in this card it will do nicely for us girls too...and that little touch of gold pen here and there enhances the composition beautifully...
Izzy
Love the flower and its golden touch!

Good Morning Sue and friends
Sorry I've been missing all weekend, just been so busy with family and friends. Still only had chance to watch one of Sue's shows but loved the demo's and all the tips. I love today's card, the more I see the lattice & lace striplet the more I like it, this is a beautiful card that would work well in any colour but love this colour combo & the gold around the edge of the flower. Sue have a wonderful time in Florida and put your feet up for a while, you work so hard and deserve some R&R.
Congrats to all the comment winners from this week & congrats to Myra from Florida, you won a black and white delight. Yvonne G, 10 out 10 for trying lol. Hope your son enjoys his fishing trip, and you enjoy the peace and tidyness. I know just what you mean, we've had a house full of cosplay gear over the weekend while Comicon has been on, my kitchen table has still got a huge dismantled prop on it from my sons costume and we've been playing taxis all weekend. We love em don't we?
Muriel you winter's day sounds lovely, better than one our "summer" days that's for sure, can't believe it's nearly August with the temps we've been having, like we've we've skipped summer and gone straight to autumn here is not-so-sunny Bolton.
Magpie, I'm not sure how my sister-in-law's hair will grow back as she's filipino & had really straight dark black hair, thanks so much for the info, I'll pass on to her.
Lancashire Steph, hope you had a good day at market.
Janet, Morvan National Park looks beautiful on google images. Hope you get to your brocante, had to google immages for that too & it would be right up my street, enjoy yourselves.
Jackie, have a wonderful time on your cruise, you lucky lady.
Hope you all had a great weekend and sending love and blesings for the week ahead. Sending special hugs fto all my blog friends xx

Your flower is stunning - thank you for all the inspiration you give us every day, your creativity is absolutely endless.

Once again a lovely way to use the striplet die they are so versatile. Also like the mocha colour it would be useful for male cards.
Hi Sue. I hope that you have a wonderful vacation with your Mum and brothers. A well deserved rest!!
Love today's card. All the striplet dies are fantastic.
Have not been on here for ages. Take care. Will look forward to seeing you when you return.

Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x
The lace striplet looks beautiful sue and the mocha card is lovely I will be definately be keeping my eyes peeled for some of that x you have such great ideas for different ways of using your dies sue so I am truly thankful as it helps me to get the most out of the dies x
Tres I hope you are feeling better today xxx
Forgot to congratulate the winners yesterday so well done all x
Beth sounds like you need a good rest now x take care x
Yvonne have a lovely spa afternoon tomorrow x room for one more ?
Theresa w xxx
Something quite different, but it looks really appealing..love the card and that single flower, the gold pen just finishes it off...luv Ursula xx
The more I see the striplets used the more I love them. The color is coming across morecof an olive for me but still very lovely.
Good Afternoon Sue and the Wilsonette lovelies!
Well, I am already a convert to the mocha card-though it admittedly looks like slate grey on my I pad -I can imagine that it is lush and rich in real life/daylight. I really wish that I have this striplet but I will have to wait a week or two for my bank balance to recover before I dare spend it on any more crafts. The same can be said of the peonies, I am using my camellias as a substitute but you can never have too many flowers can you? It never fails to amaze me how you can take one or two dies and create a thing of beauty Sue, you are amazing!
Beth, I have missed your witty observations, they never fail to make me chuckle, that's the beauty of Sues blog, you get the pleasure of meeting so many lovely like minded people who show a genuine warmth and humour. I am sorry to hear that you are struggling just now dear Beth but hopefully your craftroom will be restored to its former glory...I only hope that you don't have the laborious task of redecorating again though!:-(
In response to my ailing credit card, it is on the mend but is now in the full custody of my Mum- we live together for health reasons and have a joint bank account-I am told that I may have supervised access for the time being though:-)xxx
Yvonne, you are such a tease, surely I have convinced you of my merit, I would be a valuable asset to your fledgling organisation....perhaps a place on the board is appropriate , we wouldn't want a dictatorship after all!
I am soooo jealous of your spa trip you lucky lady, enjoy your late birthday treat.
Like Yvonne, I too am fit to burst with excitement over the delivery of my goodies from Sues shows-no sign of it today unfortunately, but it's scheduled for tomorrow...yeah!
Deb C, we've missed you over the weekend, glad to hear your okay and merely snowed under with parent duties-I'm glad that I only have cats to worry about, otherwise I don't know how I would find the time to craft- though just like children, they love to get involved and often I find just as much iced snow and microbeads on them as is evident on my cards!:-)xxx
Wishing you all a happy and healthy start to your week-I would say sunny, but here in Stirling. Canoe would be a wiser investment than a car!
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxx
beautiful card again Sue and love the colours .xx
Good afternoon Sue, beautiful card, love the colours! Love Jean xxx

Lovely card, Sue. Cheering me up as we drive back from a lovely golfing weekend on a misty and rainy M62.
Hello Sue.
I really like this layout, I can imagine it in many other colour combinations. The Lattice and Lace striplet is a lovely die and I will keep a look out for the Mocha Card. I am getting addicted to Foundation card and have most of the colours (I have just bought some of the new colours, lovely) Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Beautiful card Sue!
The mocha card looks lovely as does all the foundation card.
Lattice and Lace are luscious!!! I really like the Mocha cardstock! I think it would go with almost any color so it is very versatile! TFS!
Beautiful card Sue!! Love the peonies.. The striplets are elegant
Hi Sue Lovely Card, Hugs Elaine
WOW stunning card again today, very pretty and elegant
Another stunner to brighten up such a miserable summer day!!!!
A stunner of a card today. A clever and nice effect using the striplet die over and under each other. I am fond of the mocha and cream look on cards and enjoy using this combination myself.

Hi Sue, This card is stunning. I love the colour of the card. I do enjoy using the striplets but couldn't come up with all the variations you do. I think I'll have to sit with one striplet and see how many different ways I can use it.
Hi Sue, I think your card looks very sophisticated, I love it!!x
great card this striplet die is lovely,Laura O
HI Sue and everyone.

since playing with it at Julia's so had to get it of course.
Gorgeous colours, working well together.
Have a great time with your mum !
Yvonne- enjoy your day at the spa,lucky you but you well
deserve it looking after us all :-)
Oh Beth- what are you doing girl ? I hope it now is sorted
and no more mould problems, don't will you get iller.
Have a rest over the next few days if you can.
ToB- it so nice to see you, take care !
Aaah Lorraine- I can see your cats running around with
snow glitter and other things on their paws. They can be so
curious or nosey just like people.
Lynne M- hope you are ok and Cully is doing fine, any more
escapades with her and Tilly lately ?
Norah- know you might be busy but missing you and your
stories from playa Glenochil, come back soon!
Warm hugs (in July ?!) to everyone and extra ones
to you who need one and special friends,

Hi Sue,
Fabulous. Really like the mocha and the striplet die is truly stunning & im lucky to own it.
Beth, please take it easy, sounds like you've well and truly knackered yourself!
Been a miserable day here today but at least we haven't got floods which I believe some parts of the country have.
Love and hugs to all,Alison xxx
Absolutely stunning card again Sue, I have this die so will be giving this card a go.xx
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oooooo, my favourite, the striplet die.....not got it .....yet.....Love the mocha and milk card together Sue. It's a bit like the iced lollies we use to get from the ice cream man....it's got to be from the mid 60's-70's. It's a beautiful card and the peony flower with the touch of gold added with the paint pen really sets it off. Gorgeous xx Beth B, so sorry about the problems you've been having. Arthritis stops you from doing just about everything x sending love and hugs your way....and to Lauren x Deb C, you're welcome and everybody's different I know, so I've no doubt the nurses will tell her xx thinking of you both. My friend is from Bolton who's called Bea. We met in Llandudno one weekend, I'm sure it was 1989, so chuffed we remain so xx Yvonne and Lorraine, enjoy your goodies when they come. I try to put thoughts into my husbands head in a round about way so it seems he's made the decision to buy them? It works....sometimes.... :) Yvonne, after much thought (2 seconds), I've decided I just want to be in the BCAP...there's only so many "I will say this only once's" I can muster....lol! Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and your family xx Sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who are in need of some xx Lynne M, hope your diva's are ok but not driving you too mad! xx Hope you're ok Norah? x thinking of you xx Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx
Hi Sue. Oooooh what a lovely card today !! Your new lattice and lace striplet dies look fab on this card !! You have really showed them off to perfection !! I love the look of the Mocha colour card. The colour looks great with the milk card. I love how you have used the striplet die three times as a background with the lovely Mocha card peeking through it and then made complete striplets accross the top of the background. I love the flower you have made with the Mocha card and the gold around the edges of it finished with the single pearl. I think it is really lovely. Great sentiment to with those lovely Pierced flag dies that I love and use so often. Thanks for sharing this really great card today Sue. More fab inspiration from you so thank you very much. Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x
Sending lots of love to everyone from Tres x x x
So pretty! I don't know how you do it every day!
Hi Sue,
Truly lovely card, the Striplet looks amazing and the mocha cardstock is divine. Unusual colour for you, hope to see more. The gold edging on your peony, well, it's just a perfect peony. Enjoy your break, any swimming with dolphins on the cards this year?
Deb, didn't realise you were a Lancashire lass. But I won't hold that against you, I'm a Yorkshire lass, but defected to Germany.
Yvonne, lucky you, enjoy your spa day.
Beth I do hope you have conquered that mould. Did you really use chicken poo as a fertiliser?
Lorraine, please don't explode, it would make such a mess.
Love and hugs

Hi Sue
Blogger just killed the comment that took me an hour to type so I shall have to keep this short. Billy will want to go out soon! I love this and this striplet has shot way up the list. Understand your either back with or going to see Mom, hugs to you both from Billy and myself x
Beth, rest up after destroying that Triffid! Make sure you have plenty of air in that craft room, stale air and condensation will bring that mould right back. Do make sure you recover though.
Yvonne, thank you xxx hugs x
TOB so pleased you have a date for your op, hope it's soon xxx hugs x
Steph, hope the fair went well yesterday xxx hugs x
Dr gets back tomorrow so should hear soon. Been a little more lopsided of late so it's in good time, Making Mr W's birthday card tomorrow ready for Wednesday so after a false start- one lost post! I shall wish all of you a happy Tuesday
Hugs, T x

Hi Sue. This masterpiece is stunning with your signature gorgeous layers and that fantastic GOLD! Fab use of the die! Total WOW Factor!
The more I see the striplets used the more I love them. The color is coming across morecof an olive for me but still very lovely.
Striplets out for a card today I rhink. Lots of elements on your card Sue but they never look over loaded - so well balanced. Mocha is a great colour!
Hi Sue,late with this comment, been so busy, but had to say what a beautiful card, I have to get this Striplet die it is gorgeous, Have really only just discovered how versatile they all are. Another visit to my local craft shop. lol. Enjoy your break with Mom. xx
