Hi Sue. Great video and lovely card. I know where I am going wrong now, I should be using vellum for the flowers. Will give them another try. SueL x

ecco of sheffield said...

Morning Sue
What a stunning gift for this morning.
I really don't think for purity you can do anything but use white on white. It's always so gentle and fresh and just right for those very special occasions.
Your format today is so simple but oh so beautiful just the base to highlight your fantastic flowers and just as a 'finishing touch' two of your beautiful stick pins. Who could really ask for more. Not me. I just love everything you have done today.

Hope everyone is managing with the heat wherever you are.
To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. Please remember to drink lots of water. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Steph Cotterill said...

Good morning Sue from a very grey and miserable Lancashire, but as usual your video and pretty little card has brightened the morning. Ive tried many a time to use velum to make delicate flower's from your dies, but due to the lack of feeling and sensation in my two index finger's plus being shorter than any 'normal' crafter lol I cannot feel the delicate velum enough to be able to hold it or fold it into little flower buds, Ive tried and tried, but decided I was wasting too much velum, plus my frustration level's were rising, I decided it probably wasn't a good idea to persevere any longer, accepted defeit and carried on using my card, but Id still love to be able to make velum buds.
You have given us yet another informative tutorial and beautiful card for that I thank you.
Sending friendly and appreciative hugs to you this Tuesday.
Thinking of Tina today. And love to my two dear friends.

Patricia said...

Good morning Sue, a beautiful, stunning card to brighten my day.
I just LOVE those pretty flowers Oooo!! I feel another purchase coming on!!!
I am rather sad, I have had to "step back" from my Blog. You know I love my Blog.
Someone has taken a statement I made on Sunday about a very "sad" situation.
They used it a against a dear, sweet friend to cause hurt and trouble.
Oh! well life goes on, I will "dust myself down" I will be back but I need time to get my head round the situation.
Off to watch and learn
Have a great day
Hugs

Hi Sue, beautiful card, love the vellum flowers so delicate looking. Lol lynne m xxxxx

Poochies fast asleep after chasing each other silly at the park this morning. Unfortunately, Cully's tail has still not healed fully so looks like another trip to the vets.

Patricia hugs to you from the divas.

Ps Tilly has been attacking the roses in the garden so it looks like I'll be there replanting in the rain so hubby will not know the little b has been busy. It's a shame she doesn't like planting it would mean if she digs them up at least she could put them back!!!!!

After months of saying I must get the Camellia dies I now have them so will definitely have a go at these delightful flowers. A beautiful card, Sue.

Rose in Chester said...

Hi Sue,
It is so very, very lovely. When I first saw the video, I hadn't gotten the camellias as they were sold out everywhere, but now that I have them, will try and do that look. I'm just not good at the buds, so they'll be slightly modified. Can't wait to get started - after the male card.
You do amazing things with the corners, the whole card is absolutely beautiful.
Hugs, Rose

Myra said...

Hi Sue,
Wow! I really love this delicate card and the extremely pretty flowers! Vellum is something I completely forget to use! However these little flowers are just gorgeous and I will be having a go very soon.
Marg - I like your style - keep persevering! Hope you mange to make some lovely flowers.
Patricia - it's a sad day when things like this happen. I had heard of it before on Facebook so didn't get involved with that but I thought craft blogs were pretty safe! I , too, will miss your lovely flowers and boxes in particular. Keep smiling , you didn't deserve this! Hugs xx
Maureen - special hugs for you too! Xxx
Sue - special hugs for a talented kind lady who brought us all together . Thank you xx

Chris Curry said...

A beautiful card with lots of techniques. I especially love the idea of using the corners as a centre piece and of course the flowers are brilliant. Thank you Sue.Xx

Pauline A said...

Morning Sue, Another beautiful card to brighten up a rather dull morning. I must admit that those corner dies didn't do it for me at first, but seeing the way that you have used them on many of your cards, they have definitely grown on me. Off to make a coffee and then sit down to watch the video. I love your video tutorials. Hugs xx Pauline A

Good morning Sue and lovely Wilsonettes,

Another cloudy, drizzly day in Stirling so demo day has really lifted me out of the doldrums. This is classic Sue at her best, I love the delicate sophistication of this design, it would make a lovely wedding card. How nice to see the reappearance of the stick pins, I have missed them, they really elevate a card beautifully. I have done flower buds with card but have never attempted velum, it looks so delicate and fiddle but worth the effort. Keep persevering Marg, it is very satisfying making a flower from scratch.
Have a super busy day today, a caci facial and some retail therapy thrown in so I will enjoy the video a little later on I think .
Lynda, sorry to hear about Cullys tail, hope it goes well at the vets-our babies can be a constant source of worry at times, so hugs from Brodie and Darceyxxxxx
Patricia, don't let an unkind rogue minority stop you doing what you love because then they win! Chin up honey!

Love and crafty hugs,

Laine1972xxxxxxx

Hi Sue. Good to bump into you at CE yesterday. Another lovely card with a very different design. As a parchment crafter I had wondered about using my parchment with some of your dies and you have come up with a terrific idea with the use of the camellia dies. Thank you for that. Now to go and have a go!!!!

I really like the effect you have with the Ornamental Corners in the centre of your background. The hint of colour is so delicate and I love your shell flowers, they are so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Hi a sue,
Gorgeous card and really love the faux capiz flowers, they look so delicate. The video is really clear as well so thank you for that. I really capiz shell - I used to have some light shades made from it and loved how they looked when the lights were on.
Patricia sorry to hear about your blog. There are some very cruel and spiteful people in this world who don't realise the affect their comments have on people. This is one of the reasons that I don't do Facebook.
Lynne sorry that Cully's tail hasn't healed completely , hope the vet can do something.
Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xxxx

fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and the flowers are gorgeous, they really look translucent. I'm not sure that I have either the patience or the fingers for making these flowers but following the very clear video I may be brave enough to give it a go. If it doesn't work out, well, it is only a piece of paper and some glue :-)

Patricia - sorry to hear about your blog, there are some very nasty people out there with nothing better to do with their time than upset nice people.

Lynne - sorry Cully's tail is not improving as quickly as hoped. I hope the vets can help her.

Hi Sue and everyone.
Wonderful card, love the flowers. Will look at the tutorial
later but just want to thank you for making them, they are very
well appreciated.

I'm feeling very sad today for what happened on some blogs lately.
We are all cardmakers and crafters so it is no need for this!
Taking sides and diggs do not belong in the crafting world !
I will miss your blog Patricia with your fabulous boxes,flowers
and cards and hope you be back soon.

Maureen- you and your family are in my thoughts,

Lynne M-bless her Cully with her still poorly tale, hope
the vet can help. Oh ,Tilly she is so naughty
big cuddles to them both and to all dogs,cats and ok Freddy too.

To All Wilsonette's And Friends!
if in pain, feeling blue or anything else I'm sending hugs
to one and all,

Another stunner today. I love the flowers and look forward to seeing the video later. I'm off to Harwich today, that's if Pete ever gets out of the garden. He's decided to prick out his Broccoli. Supposed to be leaving at 1.00, just slightly late but nothing new there.

Pam said...

Patricia, I have just read your post. I am so sorry that you have been upset. Although I have never seen your blog (wish I could) of all the time I have read your posts on this blog I do not believe for one minute that you could ever upset anyone. P,ease be brave and strong, don't let spiteful people stop you. Your Wilsonettes friends are all behind you.

Anonymous said...

Hi Sue

I thoroughly enjoyed your video on how to make the flowers,they are so good made with vellum. I keep forgetting to make more use of my corner dies but next time I make a card I'll be using your technique. The full Camellia die makes gorgeous flowers. The dies you used today helped make a gorgeous card. I love it.

Kind regards

Your card is lovely. The video was great too. The flowers look amazing in vellum and I think the triple bow in thin ribbon is much more interesting than a great big blousy one. Good tip with the hair straighteners, but I don't use them - my hair is as straight as a poker!!!!!!

Patricia - so sorry about the upset, try not to dwell on it. Hugs and sympathy to Maureen, a shock for you all on what should have been a lovely day (except the weather).
Pam - just click on Patricia's name or photo and you'll have an entry to her blog. So so easy, all the techno savvies will undoubtedly know this and laugh, but the rest of us sometimes just stumble on things by (happy) accident.

Hi Sue, I always love the flowers you make for your cards and these are extra special. I do parchment work so will be able to try these out.
Hang in there Patricia with all your friends here you'll have more for you than agin' you and we are all thinking of you. Face book is something I only use to keep up with what my girls are doing but I've heard lots of horror stories about it.

Cuddles for Cully and Tilly, and also Lauren - hope she is well now.

Has anyone worked out why time passes more quickly the older you get, especially when you want to craft and oh no! it's dinner time already?? And why did days seem so long when we were at school.
July already - oh for goodness sake no.

Going now before I get maudlin.

Good evening Sue
What a beautiful, beautiful card and a very clear and informative video. I must dig out my vellum and give it I go. Wish my nails looked like yours though lol. Yet again you demonstrated just how versatile your dies really are. Thank you once again for your inspiration.

Patricia, the person who has done this to you and someone you care about has denied a lot of people the pleasure of seeing your creations and hurt you in the process. I hope they hang there head in shame. Please don't let them upset you anymore, take your time and recover. And as so many here have said we are here and supporting you. Biggest hugs xxxxx

Love Saba xxxx

This is such a beautiful card and your vellum flowers are absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you as always you are my true inspiration.

Patricia I was so sad for you, feeling you cannot carry on with your blog at present.
It's very sad when people cause hurt and distress to others.
I just hope they can live with their actions

Hi Sue. Ooooh this is such a beautiful card !! Very delicate and elegant looking. I really love this card !! Such a fab use of your Ornamental corner dies !! Your Greek Dies are beautiful to and are perfect for your lovely sentiment. I love your vellum flowers Sue. They are so very beautiful. I really must have a go at making some of them. I think they are very pretty. Also I see you have used some stick pins !! Yaay !! They are lovey and a perfect match for your card. Thank you for sharing this Wonderful card and fab video today. Sending you lots of love and hugs from Tres x x x

Patricia, I am so sorry someone has said horrible things that have upset you about your blog. Please don't stop doing your blog. I am one of those people that look at your blog often. I love the cards, boxes and flowers that you make. You are a fab crafter !! Stay strong and just ignore them. They are obviously jealous as they don't have the talent that you do !! Sending you lots of love and hugs and "keep crafting" !! Love from Tres x x x

Lynne, I am sorry to hear about Cully's sore tail. I hope it all gets sorted out soon. My cat had a bad cut on his tail once and I was worried that the vet was going to say he would have to loose some of it but it finally healed very well. You would never have guessed he came so close to looking it !! Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x
Lots of love to the Wonderful Wilsonettes today love from Tres x x x

Hi Sue and lovely Wilsonettes,
What a stunning card today, had to google Capiz Shell but now I get what you mean and the flowers really do look like shell, they're beautiful. This card is very elegant and would be great for weddings. Still not had time to watch video, looking after the men tonight has taken all my time so just posting this before bed. I will watch tomorrow, hubby off to France for a few days with work so I'll be able to get on the pc and it's my day off tomorrow. Got some friends coming round that want help making a scrapbook, just hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
Patricia, I feel so sad for you, that you've been stopped from doing something you love and I really hope things sort themselves out for you. I had a bad experience a few years ago and I have stayed away from any social media ever since so I can understand in a way how you feel. I still won't go on facebook, though I have recently got on this blog and pinterest but they are the only things I do now and I'm still very wary. I hope it doesn't put you off. I can't understand some people and I hope this experience doesn't linger with you and you get your joy back really soon
Maureen I was so sorry to hear about your brother, it must have been a terrible shock for you, sending love and prayers.
Lynne I hope the vet can fix Cully's tail.
Night God bless to all, love Deb C xx

Hello Sue. This is such a beautiful card and I absolutely love those flowers. I, like everyone here who regularly visits and admires what you do, cannot believe the cruelty of some people. The world of blogging does make one vulnerable and I suppose that occasionally trouble arises that can take your breath away. Keep strong blogging friends and don't let these disturbed people win. It's a lone voice amongst so much kindness. xx Maggie (better without a bow)

Sandy H said...

Such a pretty card. Love the flowers.
Haven't commented for a few days as my phone has been playing up. I could see the beautiful cards but couldn't get past the robot catcher! So frustrating. I'm happy to be able to use my laptop and broadband for a couple of days as I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners last weekend.
Good wishes to Patricia and your friend. I don't follow your blog but I hope you return to it soon.
Take care everyone.

Hi Sue

These shells are stunning and so are your flowers I can see why you gave them that name!

Hellooooooooooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oh wow, what an awesome video showing how to do this stunning card! I love how you've done those beautiful flowers with velum. It looks and probably is, fiddly, but what a fantastic flower at the end of it xx Love how you've done the corners and around the centre piece/sentiment too. Stunning! "Thank you Sue" for all you do. Sending you, your mom and family love and hugs. Sending them too to our Wilsonettes who are in need xx A bit late here to.....love Karen xx

magpie said...

So sorry to hear about your friend Patricia. Unfortunately there are some people out there who love to bring other people down and use things said to upset them. Unfortunately for them, the one's who enjoy seeing someone's talent or sympathise with others, outnumber them, by far! If they can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all. I for one, appreciate all these tips and techniques that are left for us to see. I also think it's lovely to be able to "talk" to others when you're feeling low or going through a situation. A trouble shared as they say xx Don't give up Patricia and sending love and hugs to you and your friend xx Love Karen xx
