Elegant Configurations
Hi crafters! I have yet another card to show you using the very versatile Configurations range. I cannot help but reach for these dies as they do all the work for you and still give you a stunning creation!
The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue. Thank you so much, a beautiful card and great video. I love the way you chop into things. Take care have a good holiday, I bet you are designing your next collection. Have fun Kitty.
Good morning Sue, Wow!! another stunning card, love it. Great excitement in the family, Hazel's older daughter gets married today. Dress, shoes matching bag all ready. John's Kilt outfit ready apart from his shirt. Will give that another quick iron before he slips it on. Off to watch the Video before all that. Have a great day Patricia xxx
Hello Sue and all I can only repeat lovely card but I have watched the video, just as instructional as usual, you make it all look so easy Sue. I love the configuration dies, I have two (not the lace edger but think I will have to remedy that) and I love cutting out about 8 of each and just playing, Wishing everyone a lovely day Muriel x
Good morning Sue, I thought I would take a look before we left for the hospital this morning being the Macmillan not turned up yet, it's a very pretty card today I have already watched the video for this one I don't know how being you only put it up this morning, do you add them to your play lists before they go on here because I know I have definitely watched this one, and I think it's beautiful I love the colour an the little flowers just set it off a treat. Have a great day sue an all you lovely ladies who follow sue every day. Take care Melody xxxXxxx
Exquisite card Sue - like Aspriring crafter said, dies are fab and the little flowers adorable. Can't recall already watching your video, am usually on the lookout for your new videos... (but then again memory is not what it was :-) ) Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue Oh my goodness - once again I am overwhelmed by your pure genius. The way you 'play' and change the look of your dies to show us there absolute unrivalled versatility. A hint of gold gives such a beautiful finished result. Thank you (again and again and again} for sharing your astounding talent with us mere mortals x
Did you hear the screams when my parcel arrived yesterday? No not me - the courier screaming in terror as a wacky Wilsonette practically attacked her to get her hands on the gorgeous goodies. Think I've traumatised her. Got as far as unpacking them and whooping with great delight but not had a chance to play yet.
Diane - I agree - I am highly sophisticated but the rebellious side of me wanted to be tarty for just a little while x
Lorraine - thank you for your reassuring words and advice regarding the blonde bathing beauties. It's all very well thinking of the solution after the event but I am struggling to stop myself sinking into a deep and dark depression. I am trying to concentrate on the BCAS as a distraction. I will consider your position but do think that a face to face interview would be the best solution to this predicament. Do you ever venture to Ally Pally? I will b asking Deb C to prove the credentials that she claims so as not to get egg on my face if I do have her as my personal bodyguard. Wouldn't do to have her run a mile at the first sign of trouble would it? x
Deb C - when will you be available for your interview? September Ally Pally?! x
Magpie - there is still the interview process - no one is exempt. September Ally Pally?
Going to try to play with my new toys today but got other things that in theory really should take priority - we'll see. Only 2 more full days to enjoy a tidy(ish) house. Jake will return on Saturday evening with his fishing gear and proceed to ruin any sense of organisation that has been apparent in his absence. Oh well - you got to love em! Hope every one has a good day whatever you do and wherever you are Crafty hugs Yvonne x
Hi Sue I love white on white cards with a splash of colour and this one is super gorgeous! Chic, cool and elegant. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day everyone. Hugs.
Good morning Sue. I have really underestimated this die set. I will buy it and play around as you suggest in the video. the same colour card is really pretty and a quick make for the stock cupboard! Great card today - well done - again! Anne M xx
Hi Sue, Beautiful white on white, so elegant. New card and dies arrived yesterday so planning to have a crafty afternoon, love the iris colour card. Will watch the video later. Thanks for sharing, Heather Treble
Good morning Sue Fabulous video and card you've treated us to this morning I just love this blog! Your configurations dies are such a genius idea I love playing around with them. I've even prettied up old scrapbooks of my Granddaughter that needed that little something extra. Your right, when you add pearls to your card it finishes them off perfectly. I'm off for an early morning walk along the beach then making a card for a special friend who loves Teal, and because it's my favourite colour also I'm going to really enjoy making it. It's going to be made using your Spanish set that I use A LOT! Hugs x Heather T
Morning Sue. Really elegant and beautiful card. I love the cream and gold. Really lovely dies. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to watching video later. 4 grandchildren to watch first. Hugs Heather.x
Good morning sue what a beautiful card I love the dies you have used and the background is gorgeous. I think the colours and you design is wonderful. Have a lovely day.
Good morning Sue and everyone I have not looked closely enough at these dies so will need to remedy that as the background is stunning. Have a great day. Ang x
Good Morning Sue, beautiful day so far and the sky looks a lovely shade of blue so lets hope it lasts. A Stunning card I love all the layers youve added to this card and you always make is so pretty to. hugs Shirleyxxxx
I love the ways in which the elegant dies can be used. Another must for my craft stash I think. But, why, oh why, when I try to put pearls on using the scissor method that you use so easily, do my pearls end up in nooks and crannies lost until the bedroom/craft room is emptied out and vacuumed?
Hello Sue, and all the ladies. This is beautiful, white on white - bliss. Hazel and Patricia have the most wonderful time, everything will be perfect. Love Maureen xxx
What a gorgeous card, my question to myself is I need these configuration dies so why haven't I got them ? They look so very versatile and now are top of my need list. Thank you Sue.Xx
Very beautiful, yet so simple. I recently acquired that configurations die, so must give this a try. Thank you Sue for all your wonderful ideas. Without you our cards would be so boring! xx
Another lovely card illustrating the effectiveness of combining dies. Second attempt at posting. Whereas it normally appears 3 times, it didn't appear once! Sister checking for me! Lol.
Hello Sue Love the Configurations Dies I don't own any yet! Maybe soon! lol I have been using the Papyrus card, with the Blush, they go so well together Sue! Looking forward to watching the Video! Take care Love Marg
Morning Sue. Love these configuration die's they are so useful for all kind's of crafting. The card is stunning. I love your white on white or milk on milk card's with just a hint of colour. They alway's look very elegant and classy and the little flower's are alway's perfect and just that little finishing touch. Another great video with all your hint's and tip's to create your beautiful card. Take care everyone and hoping you all have a lovely day. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Love, love this card. Great video as always, love the dies. My dies came yesterday and I can't play with them. Hubby cut some out for me to see what they look like. Stunning. Hugs to all Theresa xx
Hi Sue, What a beauty you have made for us today yet again. I really don't know how you do it. Love the tone on tone and your Configuration Dies are very versatile. I don't have any of those as yet! Thank you Sue. Have a lovely time with Mum and the family. Hazel, Patricia and all the family have a lovely day and hope the weather stays dry and sunny! Love to all, Myra xxx
Hi Sue - a very pretty, feminine, elegant card. Love white on white and those configuration dies are now a must for me! Great video showing how many different ways to use these. Many thanks for your wonderful ideas, best wishes YvonneMayxx
Good morning Sue, thanks for the video and the elegant card. It is fantastic to see how easy you create a large or a small frame with the same dies!!! And you are absolutely right the dies do all the work for you and the result is a stunning creation. Rolf xxx
Quick and simple to do once you've cut all the die shapes - love the froth of white lace, so pretty and those cute little flowers add just the right pop of colour as well as hiding the join...perfick!
Love your different configurations for your Configurations, Sue, stylish card and great cream/gold combo. Pretty chopped centre and lovely peonies again. Thank you as ever for the very clear video. Hazel and Patricia - hope the day is really special. We have some sun here in s.w. Wales, am sending some up for you! Guess you've both been busy with the wedding stationery??
Morning Sue, Love this card,,white on white is always right in my eyes, so elegant I think I must buy the configuration dies. Hazel and Patricia have a fabulous day at Gillian's wedding, the weather forecast seems ok. Take care everyone, Jess x
Hi Sue and friends what a beautiful card today, a vision of milky goodness, I love the way you make the dies work hard Sue. I need a decent paper trimmer, can anyone tell me what the one in the video is? The gold flowers are so pretty together with understated lacey elegance that would suite many occaision and this colour combo would be perfect for weddings. Love a wedding, Patricia, I hope the weather stays fine for you and your family today and you all have a great day x Melody, hope your hospital visit goes well today x Yvonne, Ally Pally probably isn't logistically possibe this time round, I'll have to confer with my Captain to see if funding is available and I can be released from manoeuvers up north. I'll do what I can!! Might have to dig a tunnel to get out! To all my friends sending special hugs xx Blessings - Deb C xx
Don't you just love video days, especially when it features such an elegant example of Sues genius. What's not to love about this little beauty-the Configuration die is so versatile, admittedly I wasn't sure of it at first but as is normally the case, as soon as I see a Sues interpretation I am an immediate convert. BSB(Before Sues Blog!) I would never have dreamed of doing a simple white/cream card, not now though, I love the chic simplicity advanced by a splash of glamour from the soft gold flowers....lush! I am a tad disappointed today, I won't be able to play with my new toys, I have a friend popping round for a coffee and chinwag so I am resisting the urge to pull a sickie...naughty I know, but my new Noble and striplet dies, not to mention the Canadian background are calling my name as we speak! I used to be able to mix my social calender with my crafting, however, all of the local craft shops have closed due to the recession and I don't have any local classes to go to anymore. I miss them so much, it's not quite the same doing it on your own at home, even if I do have a bespoke craftroom, because crafting is such a social activity as this blog proves each day. It's such a shame that we all live is far apart.:-( I would love to attend the inaugural BCAS meeting at Ally Pally Yvonne but it's too far to travel from Stirling, it's a shame we can't have a board meeting in Glasgow at the SECC IN October. Never mind, I will be with you in spirit and you could send me the minutes at your earliest convenience-I don't blame you looking for definitive proof of Deb Cs credentials, lives are at stake here and lightweights cannot be tolerated! Enjoy your final few days of domestic harmony, cats create a lot less mess than children, I am so glad that I am childless.....living in a clinically sterile home without a thing out of place....I told you I was OCD,:-) Patricia &hazel, have a lovely day, I am channelling the unseasonally sunny weather of Stirling your way today, have fun! Hope everyone is enjoying their goodies from yesterday, I'm not in the least bit envious!:-)
Another lovely card Sue, love the flowers and I already have the configuration dies, they were the first items of that release that I bought. :) Thank you for all the inspiration you bring us. Off for the regulation cuppa so I can watch the video! Paula x (WelshPaula)
Hi Sue, another lovely card, was not sure about the Configuration Dies, but having seen how versatile they are they are now on my wish list, together with the Peony Dies. Wendyx
Good Morning dear friend. I have to agree with Hettygarlic. Pretty and dainty is how I describe your card today, love the milk on milk tone, just love any tone on tone though in any colour. Hoping to see more configuration dies in future new launches, they are so valuable to have at hand for CAS cards and for those extra special cards too. Off to spark up the laptop to consider your suggestion. Have a wonderful day. Lancashire Steph xx
I love your layout and the dies you have used. I really like white on white, so classy though the hint of gold card is so effective. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful card. The use of just the monochrome white is so effective. Yes the dies just lend themselves to beautiful cards, but it is your great eye that helps to finish it so beautifully. Have a great day all.
Theresa says Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Only just had a chance to look at todays and yesterdays card due to an extremely rare occasion yesterday when we all had a day off together so travelled up to warwick castle for a lovely day out xxx I had to choose between crafting with my new goodies or a family day and crafting lost !!! Todays card is stunning sue x the configuration die and peonies are still on my list but definately at the top ! The colours are just so elegant x thankyou again sue for your inspiration x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
Another 'Sue spectacular' card today. Since following your blog Sue and being initiated into the 'white on white' club, I find that I am wondering what to do with all of my coloured card which never seems to be used very often apart from the pastel blues/creams /pinks. Not forgetting black for my monochrome cards. No doubt the local nursery will take some of it. Beautiful card today Sue, but I'm going to get a cup of tea and sit down to watch the video. Hugs xx PAuline A
To My Very Dear Friend Sue, Another Truly Remarkable "Video" With Lots Of Tips And Techniques, I Love The Classy Rich Colour Palette You Have Chosen The Milk/Vintage Gold Foundation Card I Love The Beautiful Sentiment Heat Embossed In Gold This Always Looks So Very Rich And Classy.

I think what sums it up best is that your creations make my heart sing and that is a wonderful thing! Keep on creating beautiful cards and coming out with amazing new dies please!! I would be lost without your posts everyday!! (((HUGS)))
Great ideas for using the configurations set of dies! Need to add them to my list. The video was very helpful, even though I had no sound. Could not get it to work, & tried several times. Love your videos!
Really love the tone on tone you do with the configurations die. What great ideas with different orientations that are possible, Sue. Thanks for the wonderfully simple and elegant ideas!!
Yet again beautiful, with the dies doing the talking. It shows what you can do with the right tools!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas and creativity.

Hi Sue, What a beautiful card, Almost White on White the soft gold flowers look lovely and work so well with the Gold embossing. Haven't had chance to look at video, it's been one of those days (no me time ) Take care, Love and Hugs, Brenda xxx
Hi Sue, So classy! White on white never fails. Deb, Lorraine,Yvonne love all your banter about BCAS.

Hi Sue, sorry I am so late, it has been a busy day. Great video and a beautiful and elegant card. These are the Configuration dies you made me buy last week. So far I have just cut lots of them out and played around with different shapes (great fun) so now I really must actually make a card with them. I love the lacy look you get with them.
Patricia and Hazel - hope the wedding went well and the sun shone in your part of the country.
Hi Sue, Another brilliant video. I love what you have done with the configurations set and thank you for showing us the various ways they could be used. I have one or two and find the examples on the packaging really helpful. Gorgeous card, white with a hint of gold looks so expensive.
Hazel and Patricia, hope all went well and you had a fabulous day, many congratulations to the happy couple.
Oh gosh I'm so late but just had to pop in and say Thank you for sharing with us once again your fabulous tutorial videos. Have thought about getting this die as I love how you can make a frame, a very pretty frame too. It is a lovely card !
Such a stunning and elegant card today with a most informative video. I like that your dies are so versatile. Sue, you are so talented. Thank you for sharing.
What A stunning card Sue...I have the Configurations dies & what I love most if the examples on the packaging's that show you just how versatile these dies are & just how many different ways they can be presented onto our cards. I never would have thought of debossing them but how brilliant an idea, as always your masterpiece of ever increasing new idea & video is always a delightful inspiration...thank you for sharing both with us Sue & has been said before but is always true from the heart you are extremely kind & generous to share with us.
Thank you & love' n' (((((HUGS))))) to you & yours Sue & of course to all the lovely Wilsonettes Beth B x x x
Hellooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Amazing Sue! Beautiful card and a brilliant Configiration video x Thank you for demonstrating what wonderful things you can do with your dies. I was doing my mother-in-laws birthday card. It's sometimes a joint eye when I'm stuck and my husband put the Ornate Square tag and the Filigree 2 tag off setting each other and it looks stunning! I love how you snip a bit here and snip a bit there and come up with these gorgeousnesses! "Thank you" x Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and family x Sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who are in need xx Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty you have made for us today yet again. I really don't know how you do it.
Love the tone on tone and your Configuration Dies are very versatile. I don't have any of those as yet!
Thank you Sue. Have a lovely time with Mum and the family.
Hazel, Patricia and all the family have a lovely day and hope the weather stays dry and sunny!
Love to all,
Myra xxx
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteYour Config Dies never fail. It doesn't matter how you use them the result is always wonderful.
White/white always a winner in my book so all things considered a beautiful gift for any occasion.
Hazel/Patricia and all the Family have a wonderful day.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue - a very pretty, feminine, elegant card. Love white on white and those configuration dies are now a must for me! Great video showing how many different ways to use these. Many thanks for your wonderful ideas, best wishes
ReplyDeleteYvonneMayxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeletethanks for the video and the elegant card.
It is fantastic to see how easy you create a large or a small frame with the same dies!!!
And you are absolutely right the dies do all the work for you and the result is a stunning creation.

Hi Sue, I love this card so beautiful and I have this die it is great . love Jean Z xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteQuick and simple to do once you've cut all the die shapes - love the froth of white lace, so pretty and those cute little flowers add just the right pop of colour as well as hiding the join...perfick!

ReplyDeleteKathy x
Hi Sue and friends
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful card today, a vision of milky goodness, I love the way you make the dies work hard Sue. I need a decent paper trimmer, can anyone tell me what the one in the video is?
The gold flowers are so pretty together with understated lacey elegance that would suite many occaision and this colour combo would be perfect for weddings.
Love a wedding, Patricia, I hope the weather stays fine for you and your family today and you all have a great day x
Melody, hope your hospital visit goes well today x
Yvonne, Ally Pally probably isn't logistically possibe this time round, I'll have to confer with my Captain to see if funding is available and I can be released from manoeuvers up north. I'll do what I can!! Might have to dig a tunnel to get out!
To all my friends sending special hugs xx

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonette lovelies,
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love video days, especially when it features such an elegant example of Sues genius. What's not to love about this little beauty-the Configuration die is so versatile, admittedly I wasn't sure of it at first but as is normally the case, as soon as I see a Sues interpretation I am an immediate convert. BSB(Before Sues Blog!) I would never have dreamed of doing a simple white/cream card, not now though, I love the chic simplicity advanced by a splash of glamour from the soft gold flowers....lush!
I am a tad disappointed today, I won't be able to play with my new toys, I have a friend popping round for a coffee and chinwag so I am resisting the urge to pull a sickie...naughty I know, but my new Noble and striplet dies, not to mention the Canadian background are calling my name as we speak!
I used to be able to mix my social calender with my crafting, however, all of the local craft shops have closed due to the recession and I don't have any local classes to go to anymore. I miss them so much, it's not quite the same doing it on your own at home, even if I do have a bespoke craftroom, because crafting is such a social activity as this blog proves each day. It's such a shame that we all live is far apart.:-(
I would love to attend the inaugural BCAS meeting at Ally Pally Yvonne but it's too far to travel from Stirling, it's a shame we can't have a board meeting in Glasgow at the SECC IN October. Never mind, I will be with you in spirit and you could send me the minutes at your earliest convenience-I don't blame you looking for definitive proof of Deb Cs credentials, lives are at stake here and lightweights cannot be tolerated! Enjoy your final few days of domestic harmony, cats create a lot less mess than children, I am so glad that I am childless.....living in a clinically sterile home without a thing out of place....I told you I was OCD,:-)
Patricia &hazel, have a lovely day, I am channelling the unseasonally sunny weather of Stirling your way today, have fun!
Hope everyone is enjoying their goodies from yesterday, I'm not in the least bit envious!:-)
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxx
Another lovely card Sue, love the flowers and I already have the configuration dies, they were the first items of that release that I bought. :) Thank you for all the inspiration you bring us. Off for the regulation cuppa so I can watch the video!

Hi Sue, another lovely card, was not sure about the Configuration Dies, but having seen how versatile they are they are now on my wish list, together with the Peony Dies.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Good Morning dear friend. I have to agree with Hettygarlic. Pretty and dainty is how I describe your card today, love the milk on milk tone, just love any tone on tone though in any colour.
ReplyDeleteHoping to see more configuration dies in future new launches, they are so valuable to have at hand for CAS cards and for those extra special cards too.
Off to spark up the laptop to consider your suggestion.
Have a wonderful day.
Lancashire Steph xx
Gorgeous card Sue, and so easy to follow your instruction in the video, love Thove

Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteI love your layout and the dies you have used. I really like white on white, so classy though the hint of gold card is so effective. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes.
Hi sue.
ReplyDeleteI love today's card. All pretty and frilly.
Love the little pop of colour on the flowers.
Very classy too xx
Hi Sue, the dies have made a beautiful background and a very elegant card, love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic card today and I love the finished size. Am looking forward to trying out this technique.
Lol Barbara W x
Wonderful card. The use of just the monochrome white is so effective. Yes the dies just lend themselves to beautiful cards, but it is your great eye that helps to finish it so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day all.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA very stylish card today. I love the background. Another winner. x

ReplyDeleteHi sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Only just had a chance to look at todays and yesterdays card due to an extremely rare occasion yesterday when we all had a day off together so travelled up to warwick castle for a lovely day out xxx I had to choose between crafting with my new goodies or a family day and crafting lost !!!
Todays card is stunning sue x the configuration die and peonies are still on my list but definately at the top ! The colours are just so elegant x thankyou again sue for your inspiration x
Take care everyone x

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
I always look forward to your videos, and today is another versatile and exquisite
card. Love the flowers too.

Happy crafting hugs to everyone.

Another 'Sue spectacular' card today. Since following your blog Sue and being initiated into the 'white on white' club, I find that I am wondering what to do with all of my coloured card which never seems to be used very often apart from the pastel blues/creams /pinks. Not forgetting black for my monochrome cards. No doubt the local nursery will take some of it. Beautiful card today Sue, but I'm going to get a cup of tea and sit down to watch the video. Hugs xx PAuline A

Hi Sue, sorry I am so late, it has been a busy day. Great video and a beautiful and elegant card. These are the Configuration dies you made me buy last week. So far I have just cut lots of them out and played around with different shapes (great fun) so now I really must actually make a card with them. I love the lacy look you get with them.
ReplyDeletePatricia and Hazel - hope the wedding went well and the sun shone in your part of the country.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother brilliant video. I love what you have done with the configurations set and thank you for showing us the various ways they could be used. I have one or two and find the examples on the packaging really helpful. Gorgeous card, white with a hint of gold looks so expensive.
Hazel and Patricia, hope all went well and you had a fabulous day, many congratulations to the happy couple.
Love and hugs

Hellooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Amazing Sue! Beautiful card and a brilliant Configiration video x Thank you for demonstrating what wonderful things you can do with your dies. I was doing my mother-in-laws birthday card. It's sometimes a joint eye when I'm stuck and my husband put the Ornate Square tag and the Filigree 2 tag off setting each other and it looks stunning! I love how you snip a bit here and snip a bit there and come up with these gorgeousnesses! "Thank you" x Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and family x Sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who are in need xx Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
