Just Because

Good Sunday morning all!  Today's card uses the Classic Adorned Design Noble to create the background.  I cut the outside shape out of a piece of coconut white card to begin.  I left the die in place and embossed the remaining aperture using the Leafy Quad embossing folder.  This can only be done by leaving the folder open and compensating the loss of the thickness with extra card.  If you close your folder, the die will cut into it and ruin it!  It is a bit of an experiment to try and get the number of sheets of card correct though as it depends on each individual machine I have found.  I added mounting foam to my aperture and mounted it onto a slightly larger piece of blue card.  Next I used the inside piece to simply deboss the shape from the next die in the set and recessed it into my aperture.  I cut the Toronto die in white and backed it in cobalt blue card, cutting the centre out of both at the same time so they matched.  I cut the centre shape from that set and recessed it into the middle.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the centre oval die in the Montreal set and used the slightly larger oval from the Toronto set to back it and mounted t in the middle of the frame.  I made several of the Perfect Peonies utilising both the open petal and the complete petal die set.  I arranged them on opposite corners and added sprigs of the Maidenhair Fern die as accents.  I completed the card with a paper pierced white mat layer, a thin blue mat and a larger white mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1.2" x  8 1/2" in size.

  11. Sunday Smiles to you Sue and all comment winner's what a way to start your Sunday, enjoy your gift.

    This card is just up my ally so to speak, I love every element of the embossing, dies and colour, unfortunatly I only own the Peony dies but as now that your festive collection is my priority the dies used on this card will have to join the queue on my 'would like' list ! So goodness know's how long it will take to own them !!
    On a final note I hope you have a lovely Sunday and im sending love to Sam and Alison.
    Hugs.

    Loving everything about this beautiful card. The colour is gorgeous although I think it is appearing darker than it actually is. Said it before and I'll say it again - and I'm sure I'll say it again in the near future - the peonies are gorgeous. The dies all marry together so exquisitely.
    Well done to all the lucky winners of the comment game.

    What an absolute stunning card I love it, especially the colour combination. Your Noble collection of dies are my most used dies they are exquisite! I haven't been able to craft for about six weeks but over the weekend I've been cutting out using the new Christmas collection I had bought and not used. Wow! They are FABULOUS! You have to see them in 'real' life to appreciate the details included in each die. It was the same last year especially with the angel the detail on her bodice is FANTASTIC!
    Well Sue it was a year today I met you in Haverfordwest it was such a nice day hope you'll visit again. It's also my eldest son's birthday so I'm taking him out later for a meal and have some surprises for him that he doesn't know about lol

    This has to be pretty high on my list of favourite "Sue Cards"!
    Something strange is happening outside in my corner of West Sussex this morning, it is raining!!! It is long overdue but sad for all the local events planned for today! Every time we have had little showers and even thunderstorms recently it seems to have narrowly missed my area! Hope it clears up in time for the planned functions.

  102. Good morning Sue and the lovely Wilsonettes,

    What a deliciously intricate card for today, you are really loving the blue tones at the moment Sue and I can see why, it is so summery. I love the French navy tone, it works particularly well with the open and full petal peonies, the contrast with the coconut white is gorgeous.
    Huge congrats to the lucky comment winners, I am sure that you will have hours of fun with your prizes.
    No rain and thunderstorms for Stirling today so I may take my niece and nephew to the park to feed the ducks and swans later- I'd take Brodie too but feathers would definitely fly. He has been so restless with the warm weather, so glad I don't have a fur coat to contend with!
    I have been putting off buying the newest range of Sues dies in case she appears on C&C soon when I can buy in bulk. Does anyone know when that might be because I am desperate to get the Canadian collection and the lovely peonies!
    Hope you all have a lovely , relaxing Sunday.

    Love and crafty hugs,

    Oh my, another gorgeous card Sue, how do you keep coming up with them?
    I am a bit of impasse at the moment, my mojo has disappeared whilst Wimbledon is and I have 5 b/day cards to do.
    Today's offering is very classical looking, might just pinch some aspects of it.

    Congratulations to all the comment winners, ENJOY your prizes.

  106. That is such a pretty card Sue! When I read to leave the die cut in the die and emboss it, I froze! All I could think was it would cut the folder. So you put my mind at rest, I was pretty sure you wouldn't do anything silly like me. :)

    Lucky to have my name drawn as a comment winner, congrats and hugs to the other winners, Diane I saw your name there. Isn't it brilliant? Thank you so much Sue.

    We have a Forties Weekend in our village (Ingleton, N.Y.) this weekend - last day today, hoping weather keeps fine as we are due for a Spitfire fly past this afternoon. Not keen on the theme myself but love seeing the old aircraft.

    Anyway just thanks again Sue.

  112. Hi Sue
    This is just beautiful, think I will have a go at this today. We've just been busy dealing with the start of a bees nest! Thankfully sorted. It was only a month ago I found a wasp nest in our garage, must be our srange weather that we seem to get as we've lived in our house for nearly 35 years and never had either nests before.
    Congratulations to all the lucky winners over the past couple of days.

    Hi Sue,
    It's a beautiful card - I can see I've got to get the Noble Design dies to complement the Classic Nobles. It opens up a whole new spectrum of possibilities.(was watching some of your new videos last night)
    I love the way you've used the dies in this card and your colour scheme. Gorgeous and elegant - the Sue Wilson trademark.
    Congrats to all the winners - have a good Sunday everyone.

  118. Hello Sue and all.

    The thought of using the embossing folder with a die still in place is a bit scary, I might be brave enough to try it one day, lol. I like the recess effect and the use so a bold colour for the peonies. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations to all the lucky winners announced today and yesterday (sorry I missed it of my comment yesterday)

    Best wishes.

    After I Sue
    Late for me today as I'd just started leaving my post this morning when my tablet shut down needing charging.
    What a lovely base for us to work on when we have someone who doesn't like frills and fancy. Your beautiful dies give us the skeleton then we can either dress up or down. What more could we ask for.
    I do love your colour palette today.

    Hope you had a good day yesterday.
    To all in pain and suffering I hope you feel better soon. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Such a lovely sentiment and your Peony flowers are just gorgeous !! I love them !! Great fern dies to. Thanks for a wonderful card today Sue. Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x

    Hi Lorraine Eastwood, I am waiting patiently to do exactly the same as you !! I desperately want/ need the Canadian Collection and I am waiting for Sue to bring this collection to Create and craft as I would like to buy them in bulk to and spread the cost with flexipay. I have no idea when that will be. I am not on face book so I have not seen the information you have. I do hope some one can help us soon. Lots of love from Tres x x x

  157. Good evening Sue
    What a striking card. The cobalt blue foundations card is just fabulous. It makes the peonies and central element really pop. Love the dimension the aperture brings to this card. Thank you for your inspiration.

    Sorry I have been missing for a couple of days, we were travelling home from holiday and time and the Internet were against me.

    Congratulations to all the lucky Christmas die winners, I was thrilled to see a few special friends amongst them.
    Congratulations to today's comment game winners as well, I know just how thrilled they will all be.

    Lynda and Myra, happy anniversary to both of you and also your other halves.

    Maureen you are in my thoughts and my prayers at this very sad time.
