Good Sunday morning all! I have an embossed channel card to share with you today. I started by stamping my sentiment in the lower section of a piece of
coconut white card and then cutting the
coconut white card using the
Lavish Swirls Diagonal outer cutting die in order to create the angled channel. I cut another
Lavish Swirls out of black card using both the inside decorative die and the outside cutting edge. Next I cut an assortment of flowers out of several different colours. I used the
Cornflower, Delicate Daisy, Camellia and some Trailing Ivy. I glued them to the two white pieces, slightly overlapping them. I then embossed both pieces using the
Pinpoint Checkerboard embossing folder to create texture. I added mounting foam to the back of each section and added them to another piece of white card, leaving space for the
Lavish Swirl Diagonal. I glued it flat to the white card in the channel. I used the side butterfly from the
Magical Butterfly set, cutting two of them and gluing the body together. I added glue to the edges of the wings and dusted them with
Ebony Ice to embellish and glued the butterfly in the upper corner. I added black and white mats to complete the card with
White PVA glue dots added to the inside mat to frame the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.

That's really different, Sue.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. What a beautiful card, at first glance I thought the flowers had been inlaid until I read your description. A very effective design that I must try for myself. Congratulations to the winners. Have a lovely Sunday.x
ReplyDeleteSunday Smiles to you Sue.
ReplyDeleteThis is something totally different to your 'usual' card so its taking some getting use to and Im having to scroll up and down on my phone for my brain to take it in, im going to be the only one Im sure to say this, but Im not sure, I have no doubt's there will be a few that feel totally opposite, but that's what crafting is all about - cant please everyone all of the time. Saying that, Im sure it would look so different in real life.
Well done to comment winners enjoy your gift.
Sending hugs to you Sue, Sam and Tina.
Lancashire Steph xx
P.S. Your quilted striplet looks gorgeous with the in fill technique and so much easier for my stupid little finger's to cope with !
Love this card Sue, very fresh. Congrats all winners.
ReplyDeleteGM Sue. This is different and I like it. Must give the embossed die cuts a go. Raining here this morning thank goodness. The garden badly needs some water. Happy Sunday all.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, a beautiful bright and sunny card today just what we need on a cold and dismal morning.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the lucky winners well done.

Hi Sue & Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteHow I have missed u all, not being able to comment on ur gorgeous cards Sue has been has been an absolute nightmare...I’m Baaaaack!!!!!...so pop kettle on, lean back & I’ll convey to u wat we’ve had 2 endure.
My computer of 8+ yrs went down big time; computer guy came & took it away...Boo Hoo!! With it went my daily fix of ur blog Sue. I cannot use my IPad bcus no Ethernet connected to a comp. OooH!! Frustration!! Never mind I said, I can get Wi-Fi thru my outdated fone (anything older than 3 months is considered outdated)...Huh!! It took all of 17 mins just to bring up ur card Sue...in the end I had to give up. He gave me bad news that comp’ was for the knackers yard so clubbed funds 2getha to get new comp’, came on 14th. Had 2 get to know it & load software DVD’s.
Ok, that one sorted, but bfore comp’ crashed I was stunned when I took a folder out 2 label it & I noticed a lot of black mould climbing all over 2 of the, outer, walls down & into the carpet. So it all had 2 come out & I had to scrub with white vinegar then Surgical spirit, surveyor came 2 check if damp course had failed...still not sure but he said 2 remove small shrubs growing there & see if it makes a difference. I had 2 repaint areas but patchy so have 2 take everything out of craft room & repaint whole room. School term ends on Wed so guess what I’ll b doing in August, even comp’ has 2 come out as situated in other end of craft room.
I also broke the end bones of my middle & forefinger, typing is slow & methodical but that is a bit of a story.
Due to all this & just when I thought that I was holding up well, I had a relapse with my health couldn’t even go to a meal /evening out planned for 2 of our staff who were both getting individually married.
Good news is that with Lauren’s wee vet was testing the concentration & they were mildly pleased that the result was better that they thought, although she is far from being out of the woods at least she can have respite for a while, & the vet has also agreed that if we have her tests done just before we were due to go away to Cornwall in early August & her results are favourable then we can take the girls with us...cannot imagine a holiday without them.
Finally, Steve & I had decided to have a few days much needed break & stay in Scotland with our dearest friend, when we got back it turns out the professional dog sitters hadn’t stayed with the girls all day as they were paid to do, they had only stayed at night, & we came back to the dogs & the whole house smelling of wee...we found 14 patches of wee so had to hire a rug doctor to clean the whole house, they had also let the plants die & overfed the girls where we has to get them treating for loose bowels due to over eating. We have had professional dog sitters from this company before, when we have gone to Scotland & never had a single problem so needless to say we won’t be hiring them again as dogs, hot weather left alone all day does not mix well & is tantamount to neglect...I’m still fuming but they deny all charges (or that’s what they should be) but the neighbours have told us different. The girls still won’t leave my side & get frantic when I leave the house.
Well my friends at least I can honestly say that I am glad to be back....I sincerely apologise for my absence & I also apologise as I haven’t had the chance to read back over all the comments from the daily blog I have missed....so for those in need...I send huge (((((HUGS))))) & smiles, for those who have or have had something to celebrate in my absence...I send sincerest congratulations....& for all the names of lucky winners I have missed I also send heartiest Congratulations.
To dearest Sue, to my dear Friends & to all lovely Wilsonettes I send you love & Hugs & I wish you a good day....take care love Beth B x x x x x
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteAlthough today's gift has a very modern feel to it and I'm still sat in the old world I really do appreciate your technique of applying the flowers and ivy and then Ebossing the whole piece. I would never have thought of doing that Sue but I have filed it into my 'must try' file.
I can easily see teenagers and very modern miss really looking forward to receiving such a gift as this.
Well we managed to get a little rain during the night but not enough to even make marks on the garden. The outside table has a small puddle on it the only way I can tell it had rain.
Congratulations to this week's lucky winners.
Off to another local Brocante this morning fingers crossed we may find a bargain or two.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better.To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Different but Pretty! Congratulations to the comment winners!
ReplyDeleteHugs to all xo
Morning Sue. Another beautiful card today. I really thought you had stamped the flowers onto card. It's a lovely idea. The channel cards are lovely
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. Hugs Heather.x
Morning Sue, another different card from you today, love how you have embossed it all! Congratulations to all the winners. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeletelovely bright card today with a modern feel, always like chanel cards and the embossing is such a great idea.
Beth, you really have been through it, I hope all settles for you now and you have the August holiday you deserve after all that has happened.
Congratulations to the winners

Very pretty and cheerful!
ReplyDeletePretty card for today
ReplyDeleteNice bright and cheerful card sue!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue
ReplyDeleteWell! What do I think of today's card? ........... I love it! You really come up with unusual ideas for us to try, who would have thought to emboss the whole piece, the colours are very springlike and cheer up a very dull day here.
Beth you certainly have been having a bad time lately hopefully things will get better I was fuming when I read about the treatment your poor dogs received sending you all a hug (((((((x))))))))
Congratulations to all the winners

Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I love how the flowers become part of the background. It is very summery and colourful. Congratulations to all the winners. Have a great day today. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card and technique. Until I read the instructions I thought you had stamped the flowers. Great idwa to cut them out, attach them and then emboss the card.
Love
Roz.x
Hello Sue, what a fabulous card and brilliant idea/technique to stick the die cuts down first, then emboss it. Have to try it. Love the colours with the bit of black. Congrats to the comment game winners. Have a great Sunday. Bx
ReplyDeleteI too was fooled by the background, Sue! Yet another technique for us all to try. A beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteAnne (Northampton)
Pretty card Sue and a little different. Like how you have embossed after flowers. Congratulations to all winners x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, lovely card today. Congrats to all the winners.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Sunday, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue what a summery feel you have created. Embossing the flowers after sticking them on gives a wonderful effect love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA nice card but not for me, sorry. Congratulations to all the winners. Yvonne xx
Beautiful. Forgotten how much I love the pinpoint folder. This s such a clever idea with the flowers too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners. X
Totally different style of card for you Sue. I love the technique of sticking the flowers on and embossing them, it looks brilliant! Debra x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue, great card today very much like summer. Like the idea of embossing after the flowers are on .Take care Jane B.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue, love the textures from the embossing, hugs Carole Z X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteI like this idea. What a change - very summery. Makes a really different statement and quick and easy.
Lovely!
Anne M xx
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this card. I really had to examine it closely for quite a while as on first glance I thought it was stamped. The colours are so summery and think would bring a smile to anyone's face. Thinking Get Well cards. Fab!
Think this effect is gorgeous. Another technique to add to my 'technique to do' list. Mind you this one is a relatively quick and easy technique so I think this one will possibly go to the top of the list.
Thank you for sharing Sue. Forever grateful for your generosity.
Theresa, Deb C, Lorraine, Fluffy Cat and Maria - had a lovely day thanks and got to say really didn't have to do much at all. Boys toddled off to Tesco to pick up supplies. On their return I patiently observed the unloading of the bags. Gluten free burgers - tick. Gluten free sausages - tick. Chicken wings with gluten free marinade - tick. Pork steaks with gluten free marinade - tick. Not a single scrap of salad or veg in sight!!! Actually that's not quite true. There was corn on the cob but Jake forgot to cook it. Typical men! All meat cooked to perfection and tasted fab as I didn't have to cook it. As we had no 'side dishes' (we did have rolls for our burgers), the only thing to clear up were the bbq cooking utensils and knives forks and plates. Sister in law bought a weeks supply of Magnum ice creams for pud - result! What more could a girl ask for - apart from salad, coleslaw, maybe some potato salad oh and some laxatives - lol.
Cheryl - hope your fete was a success. Sun is one of the most important ingredients for these events as everything else seems to fall into place.
Beth - sorry to hear that things have been so unpleasant. Sending hugs x
Resting today. Although really didn't do much, need to make sure I pace myself so as not to end up fit for nothing.
Have a stress free Sunday everyone if you can.
Crafty hugs
Yvonne

Well you've done it again. Think there is only one word to describe this card - 'stunning'. Once again you have shown the full versatility of the dies and love the embossing on the flowers to tie them into the design. Think this one makes my top three of all time...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners
Thats such a fresh colour way just so summery. Thank you for my prize I won, really chuffed to be picked. Jxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteHow clever!..love that embossed floral background - I shall be definitely trying this myself, thanks for the inspiration...
Congratulations to the Comment Game winners...

Very pretty card, lovely colours. Like Yvonne, I thought the flowers were stamped.
ReplyDeleteBeth: hope things have settled down for you now.
Congrats to all the winners.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteReally lovely! The flowers and the embossing look fantastic like this!
Must have a go at this. Thanks for the inspiration.

Morning Sue..... unusual card looks a bit like cross stitch ... Neat...!
ReplyDeleteLuv Rach :)
Beautiful card, love the embossing folder
ReplyDeleteA card with so many lovely things happening on it, but sticking the flowers and ivy on before using the embossing folder brings it all together perfectly. Thank you Sue. Xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWell, Sue, this is so very different but I really like the idea.
Will certainly give it a go. We need to stretch ourselves now and again.
Have a great day
Hugs
Patricia xxx
Would never have thought of embossing with stuck-on flowers but it works, Sue, and gives a very modern look. Like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteWell done to the comment winners.
Beth - you've had a bit of a tough time and the dogs too, apparently, but nice to see you back. Did you like Sue's card - the one thing you didn't mention!!

Hi Sue, a lovely unusal card. Sticking on the cut flowers then embossing is different and very effective. Congratulations to all the lucky winners.
ReplyDeleteThis is so so lovely Definitely a favourite with me At first I thought it was all paper pieced but the way you've described it sounds like the flower elements are stuck on top .... I love this embossing folder but mainly use it on male cards but it'll definitely get an airing for ladies cards too
ReplyDeleteMorning sue love today's card it's beautiful love the colours and the flowers thank you sue love always June horrocks xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant unusual card....AMAZING! It just looks like a piece of tapestry.

Must admit not keen on the colour combo of this one. Congrats to the winners especially Kate, cullisocks x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card-very pretty, I love the way you have embossed the flowers so they look embedded into the background.

Very pretty card, so different with the embossed flowers and love the flutterby! Linda.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI really like this! At first I thought you had stamped the leaves and the flowers and was wondering if I'd missed seeing the stamps! Then I read the instructions and read you'd stuck them on! I really do like the pinpoint check embossing folder too - I'd forgotten that I had this!
Congratulations to the lucky winners.
Beth, you've certainly had a traumatic time haven't you?! I'm pleased that Lauren seems to be on the mend and it will be lovely if you can take the girls with you on holiday. I was really upset (& angry) when I heard about the dog sitters treatment of your poor babies. It's bad enough that they would be missing you, but to then be treated like that is despicable, I don't blame you for not using the company again. I once couldn't get Scamp into our usual cattery ( which is more like a luxury hotel than a cattery!) and took her to one that had been recommended. It looked very clean and the owners said the right things. I gave them a plug in stress relief for cats to use which they said they would do. Scamp is such a sensitive cat and stresses so much that the vet had told us to use this. Anyway when we got back from holiday 4 weeks later, they hadn't used it and Scamp looked really miserable. When we got her home I looked at her tummy and she'd licked all her fur off it, poor thing. She never left my side for three weeks after that! Needless to say she will never go into that cattery again! Anyway, I do hope that your " babies" are ok now and are over their trauma. Give them a big cuddle from me! Hope you manage to get some time in the school holidays to chill out and relax too!
Sending love and hugs to everyone, hope you are all as well as possible, Alison xxxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic card. I would never have thought of doing that with the flowers.
You are so generous with your ideas Sue.
Thanks.
Denise (mini)
Beautiful textural effect on your card Sue. I too thought the flowers were stamped until I read all of your post. Congrats to the winners. Pat x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - this card is so different and I love the way you have embossed everything after it has been stuck together. I like the way you have used the diagonal die and the butterfly is absolutely gorgeous. I have reluctantly not bought the butterfly dies as I already have a few, but after seeing this card I must have this one now! Congratulations to the very lucky winners today. Best wishes

ReplyDeleteWhen I first looked at this card I thought it was stamped and coloured. But what a lovely idea. I wouldn't have thought of doing that so thanks for the inspiration. Mind you, you inspire us every day with your beautiful cards. Congratulations to all the comment winners.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, quite a different card from you this morning. Love the flowers glued on and then embossed, this kind of card is good for posting, will have to try something similar.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your never ending inspiration.
Congratulations to today's winners, enjoy your goodies ladies.
Take care, Jess xx
Morning Sue, Wow, how you've caught a lot of us out this morning with your card. I must be more than half asleep as I thought that the background was a piece of floral card that you had embossed. (It's the eyes, you know!) But I thought; surely Sue wouldn't have shown us such a simple card as that, and you most definitely, hadn't. I like your channel cards and the pin-point background gives it so much texture. Will be giving this one a try. Thanks for your inspiration Sue. Hugs xx Pauline A
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card! It's just so different. The effect is lovely . It almost looks as if you have designed your own patterned card. By embossing at the end everything becomes as one, as it were! I think it's lovely and yet another new technique . It's simple but very effective.
Thanks Sue,
Congratulations to today's winners. Enjoy your prizes.
Cheryl - hope the Sale went well yesterday!
Janet - hope you get some more rain soon! I think there is some spare in Scotland!
Lots of love , Myra xxx
Something very different today, but very fresh and pretty!

ReplyDeleteHi sue, nice card, crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
ReplyDeleteHi sue.
ReplyDeleteVery nice card. Have to say tho never thought about embossing the whole thing after embellishing with flowers. Looks a bit strange to me but unique all the same. Might try it just to see how it looks. I bet it looks different when u see it rather than on a photo xz
Love to all xx
Beautiful card Sue xx hazel

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't comment yesterday, my day just ran away. Loved the card you made, the sentiment die is a stunner. Liked the fact you used the end of a jelly roll pen as a ball tool!!
Today's card is absolutely amazing. Love the effect you have achieved by layering and embossing. Definitely one to try.
Annoyingly I won't be able to,watch you on C&C. They have recently moved to a new satellite and are now only transmitting using a UK beam which means they have lost all their mainland European viewers. I have sent an e mail to them but as of yet had no real response.
Congratulations to today's lucky ladies and to Doreen yesterday.
Love and hugs for all

This card is so lovely, great effect embossing the flowers as well.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations to the winners.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI thought the flowers were stamped on and I was really surprised to find that they were die cuts. This is a 'must do' technique.
The card is really lovely.

ReplyDeleteYou've done it again, this card is so different and it's great. It's flat but it isn't at the same time.
I certainly don't think I'd ever com up with this idea. Well done.Zena xxx
What an interesting way of using my favourite pinpoint embossing folder.

Have a lovely Crafty Sunday everyone.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLove this embossing folder. Would never have thought to put the flowers
on before embossing, it is so pretty. Love to see different styles from you.
Wonder if it would be possible to get some of the more popular embossing
folders in a smaller size for those of us who don't have an A4 embossing
machine i.e. 5 x 7 which goes through the Cuttlebug. x
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell this is certainly a different card for you Sue but yet again I think it is beautiful. You really are making us think out of the box aren't you! Love the affect you get from embossing the flowers flat, it looks like posh background paper. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Beth you poor thing you have had a time of it xxx
Yvonne what a wonderful time, you were spoilt and yes it's only me that thinks of veg or salad too! Xxx
Hi Sue, what a very pretty and clever card. As others, at first I too thought it had been stamped. I don't have all the dies you have used but I am definitely going to give this a go using those that I have.
ReplyDeleteYvonne - glad the BBQ went well, sorry you missed out on the salad though :)
Beth - you have certainly been through the mill but things can surely only get better. Pleased Lauren seems to be improving a little.
Congratulations to the comment game winners, enjoy your prizes. I will be using mine on the card I have to make this afternoon :D
Frances
What an unusual card! I also thought it had been stamped, I'm so in awe of your stamping abilities that I dismissed all thoughts of me being able to make a card with stamping on, so I was really pleased when I read you had used dies. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners :)

Hi Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteHad to look not once but twice how you made this
sweet card and it look great being embossed after
the flowers are put down.Very nice indeed.
Men + meat = meat, not salad :-) Same here and oh bread. Glad
you had a good bbq Yvonne .
Oh dear Beth, you have had it tough for a while and your poor
four legged friends, Hope you all be ok in the end.
Cheryl- hope you had a good day at the fete'
To all Wisonette's and friends have a nice Sunday,

Pretty card today, have the lattice diagonal, not this one, but would make a similar shape card!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love the way your mind is always busy working out new techniques to show us. I have to admit that I would NEVER have thought of gluing down the die cut flowers and ivy and then embossing them. What a fantastic background it's made. I'm having to force myself to sit here and finish typing before I rush off and try it out lol.
Congratulations to the weekly winners. x
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this card, like many others I also thought you'd stamped the flowers, must try this technique very soon.
Congrats to all the winners 🌸

Love this card Sue. Brilliant idea. Must try it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue and fabulous Wilsonettes!
ReplyDeleteWell, what a surprise I got with this cheeky little number-initially I thought that you had embossed patterned paper...a crazy notion I know!, then I thought that the flowers had been stamped and coloured...slightly more challenging!, but no, you have introduced us to a totally new concept and I think the results are am...az...ing!! I disagree with those who are unsure about the design and colours, I think that they are a perfect compliment and I will definitely be trying this out with all of your ingredients, which I am fortunate enough to have in my stash.
Beth, I am soooo relieved to hear from you, I have been really concerned about you and Lauren and had feared the worst so I am glad that you are okay...ish! I am livid at the treatment of your precious babies, how dare they take your money and abandon your little ones, I wish people like that could be held accountable for their neglect after you have put your trust in their service. You have really been through the wars you poor soul, I thought bad things came in threes but you had to go and injure your fingers as well! Just know that you have been much missed and I hope that your upcoming holiday can include your little ladies.
Alison, I am also disgusted to hear about your little baby too-it is so hard to know if you can trust that people are going to treat our babies with the same care and attention we would. I have only put my two in the chattery once before for this same reason, we were moving and getting a lot of work done but they were very clingy when they came home even though they had each other for company. I won't be doing it again.
Yvonne, I am glad to hear that you could put your feet up and enjoy, like you though, I would miss they salad more than all that meat...why do men have such tunnel vision:-)
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend everyone!
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxxx
Good Sunday afternoon Sue and crafty ladies
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty and unusual card you have for us today. Thank you Sue for yet another technique that achieves amazing results that we can add to our crafty arsenal. At first I thought you had cut all the flowers out and inlaid them all and thought crikey, that'll take some work but phew, sticking them on is far more in my grasp thank goodness. Love the dramatic butterfly too! So pleased to see you'll on C&C albeit briefly. Saba, would you be able to watch C&C online?
Congratulations to all the winners, you lucky ladies!
Elizabeth, wow you really have been through the wars, I know I'm not the only one who noticed your were AWOL and missed reading your comments - it's good to have you back and also hear the good new about Lauren. It's just appauling the way your dogs were looked after (or should I say Not looked after). I hope you really enjoy your break in Cornwall, you sound like you deserve a good time and the dogs do too.
Yvonne G, glad to hear you had a lovely time at your BBQ but hope you still get spoilt on Tuesday.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone
Love & blessings - Deb C xx
I like the butterfly and the channel inset. The colors work well together. This not one of my favorites. I like your fancier cards better
ReplyDeleteHellooooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Wow, what a stunningly pretty card this is. I love the flowers, ivy leaves and butterfly and what a lovely channel card of the striplet die. The loveliest of all is how you have embossed the whole card so that everything is raised, giving it a textural feel and look too. Love it! Love the colours too. You always always come up with these gorgeous surprises so a big, big "thank you Sue" xx 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 xx Eeeee Beth, you've certainly gone through the mill haven't you? My friends dog who she left in a kennel so she could go on holiday, hasn't left her side since she came back....Congratulations Culliesocks, Lesley and Janice! Wonderful! Enjoy your prizes! Congratulations too Doreen on winning the Wednesday giveaway! Fantastic! Do the whoop whoop dance....trust me you will be! xx Hope you're okay Norah? xxxx Take care everyone xx love Karen xx
ReplyDeleteSo different but really lovely card Sue. I thought at first that your flowers were stamped not die cut, that's a brilliant idea. The colours are bright and cheery, perhaps Beth should have a card like this to cheer her up. Hope life gets better soon Beth. Also pleased to hear Lauren is doing ok. Dare'n't leave my little doggy as he has just got us trained - yes you read right.
ReplyDeleteLove to all today.

Beth what an awfull time you have had.i was worried that Lauren had taken a turn for the worst
So pleased she hasn't & she is ok. How can these so called pet lovers take your money
& treat your girls like that it's disgraceful. We had a similar thing happen a few years ago we asked a lady
that worked in our local pet shop she advertised for looking After pets in there own home.
We found out they had party's & never took the dogs for a walk,now we always take them with us on holiday.
Beth hope you feeling better now.sending you Hug's & cuddles for your babies xx

Lovely modern card, such a clever idea with the embossing folder. Definitely on the 'must try' list.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the comment winners. Good wishes to Beth, things can only get better.
Take care everyone.
New at this card making although I've had supplies for some time! I love the technique in Sunday's posting where you embossed the whole thing together! I must find that folder! thanks also for how you have your cards identified, making it so easy to find an inspiration! You are very talented! Keep it up! Sharon
ReplyDeleteVery different, but love the techniques especially gluing flowers then embossing.

I am playing catch up with your A4 and 8x8 embossing folders, as I got my A4 machine this weekend. The pinpoints folder is the first A4 one I have bought and the first 8x8 is the straight lines that go round the square (I have forgotten the name). Looking forward to them arriving.
ReplyDeleteI must try this technique, embossing after sticking elements to the card base, never done this before it's very effective.
ReplyDeleteLorraine
Love this card. Have tried this technique using just shapes but not flowers. Going to have a go next
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners
