Hi Sue. Love how your striplets are designed in two parts so that you can use them to cut the pattern out of the card. Have an inkling what your surprise might be and I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteExam results day so things are a tad stressed in our house, good luck to anyone waiting themselves or with children collecting their envelopes! Sue XXX
What a lovely card. Looking forward to the surprise.

Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. Love the way your striplet die's are so versatile by using them with the outside edge or not and creating a background instead of a e/b folder. Hoping it is what i think it is and then i could add some to my collection because i need them lol.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
Best Wishes.

Hi Sue. Stunning. Breath taking, and that is without watching your video which will be my breakfast treat. I used the ebony ice last year on a couple of festive cards and its still stuck fast into the pile of the cream carpet in my den and its been vacumed sooo many times in the past year but it just WONT budge !!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to our 'suprise' there has been an excited buzz in the air for weeks in a beautiful, friendly, FB page I found a few weeks ago, all so genuine and their work made with your dies are second to none (you know which one Im talking about Sue) and a warm welcome to the new blogger's that have found Particraft recently.
Hope you're not working too hard Sue and having a lovely time with family and friends when you can !
Love n hugs to you Sue, thinking of Tina today, love to Alison and Sam and hugs to TOB xxx

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue
ReplyDeleteI love ebony ice glitter you'd think that because it's black it won't shine but Wow! it has so many pretty colours in it. I was with you 'P' in Wales when we both bought it, you must try it because it's beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us Sue loved the video. Now I wonder what you have in store for us? Lol!
Hugs x
Heather T
I really like the drama of this card today
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, now you know me and black but I really like this card. Maybe because white is the predominant colour and the black is taking a back seat. I love the sentiment and I think with a change it would make a stunning sympathy card also. Will catch up on the video and comments this evening.
ReplyDeleteI think I can guess your surprise, looking forward to it :-)
Melody - I hope all goes well for Francis today.

Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, stunning, fabulous - need I say more. Love this beauty and this sentiment is wonderful. I can't think for a second what on earth the surprise could possibly be - lol!!
No sun today although it has stopped raining. Quite enjoying the lower temperature. Got a lot of your videos to catch up on and seeing as I have got to take it easy I have a very enjoyable couple of hours ahead.
Lorraine - I think that it's you that's stalking me - I would not stoop so low. My underhand tactics do not include stalking. Glad you took it upon yourself to babysit BCAS whilst I was away, but a little concerned that you may not have given it your full attention when I hear tales of diva's and prawns. I think your loyalties may be slightly compromised. You need to have a serious think about you future with our organisation!
Maria - I'm taking it easy - honest x
Gr Karin - welcome - You are now part of the fantastically friendly and wonderfully warm Wilsonette family x
Molly Dolly and Melody - thinking of you and yours. Sorry Molly - your secret is out - blame your nan x
Saba - as I write this you will be well on your way - hope you have a stress free journey x
Pat L - sending love and hugs and hoping everything goes well x
Lynda - thanks and hugs to you x
Wheely Bad - we can take things easy together. Sue fix goes a long way to help with withdrawal symptoms doesn't it x
It is so good to be back. The frustration of being bed bound without an ounce of energy is unbelievable. Taking things slowly so as not to end up in the same position x
Have a lovely day everyone. What on earth could the surprise from Sue be?? Exciting.
Crafty hugs
Yvonne

Lovely Card Sue!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful card. Love the Diamond striplet. still haven't mastered the technique of piercing, I can manage the first side, but trying to line all the other sides seems impossible, and I end up with different depths of border on all the sides. Any tips on solving this problem ?

ReplyDeleteRosemary xx
An elegant and stunning card today. Love that Striplet die. Thanks for another video today. No one does videos better than you Sue!. Is there a way you can turn up the volume on your videos when recording them? I have adjusted my laptop volume as far up as I can, but I am still having difficulty hearing you on your latest videos. I pray my hearing is not deteriorating.
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful post and like most I think I can guess what is coming. I may have something ordered and on its way!!!!Can't wait for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, simply stunning! Love black and white! Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon sue and lovely Wilsonettes!
ReplyDeleteI'm rather tardy with my post today due to a mixture of my hospital appointment to arrange some minor surgical procedures on my pesky basal cell carcinoma-a form of skin cancer and, rather ironically I suppose, our fourth day of summer...and probably last chance to get a little relaxation in the sunshine!
So, I haven't had a chance to catch the video for today but I am very impressed with the results-I love the understated elegance of a monochrome colour scheme, it is very attractive and a look that I like to use on my fussy male cards...even if it does incorporate a little midnight snow!
I am so excited to see what tomorrow will bring, even though I have seen a preview on Craftydevils.co.uk, seeing your unique interpretation is always the best aspect of a new reveal.bid better get a move on with purchasing the last batch though, wouldn't want to be accused of being unfashionable or behind the times now!
Theresa, you are so astute, my true weakness is cheesecake and I'm afraid everything else plays second fiddle...well, apart from my babies and Sue addiction. I will be paying another visit to the wonderful Caledonian cheesecake company this weekend again!
Yvonne, disregard my previous comment, you and I both know that BCAS has my full and undivided attention at all times you can totally rely upon my loyalty and discretion, though with our bodyguard Debs sunning herself in Portugal, methinks we should leave the 'heavy stuff' until she returns!
Saba, lobster is out of the question, far too meaty a fish and I cannot have my babies trying to eat something as big as them especially when they can't grip the hammer to break open the claws....I wouldn't say no though! Have a safe trip home lass, my Mum is from Yorkshire too so I am a half breed!
Melody and Molly(I won't embarrass you with your grandmas pet name sweetie:-)), hope the treatment progresses well, my Dad has had non Hodjkins lymphoma for over 10 years now and he is still fighting fit...for an old man that is! Though he had no real hair to lose as such, I am sure your grandad with cope admirably when it happens. Bald men are very handsome tell him, it didn't do Sean Connery any harm!
More rain forecast for tomorrow but never mind , I can catch up on some crafting. Take care everyone, roll on tomorrow!
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxx
Hi Sue

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt has been nice to be reminded to use the 'black' snow! I keep forgetting about it.
Mind you I forget about a lot of things. I love the layout of today's card . I'm so looking forward to tomorrow's surprise too!
Melody thank you for posting early - as if you don't have enough to think about just now! Sending hugs to you all - and a special one for Molly who is a real credit to you.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous
Sue
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card today, I'm falling in love with that striplet die although I will have to sit on my hands now and not spend any more money for a while after last weeks expensive car repair! I've not had a chance to watch the video yet, I'm going to save it for tomorrow morning now as it's been quite a day. Exam results! We were on tender hooks at college this morning as Emma got 3 B grades instead od an A and 3 bs but after an agonising half an hour with a tearful mum (I'm such a wimp) she checked the Ucas site and shed been accepted by Aberdeen university after all! Relief all round but so stressful! We've been out to celebrate champagne has been consumed and they are all out partying now! Crafty Sue I hope results were good in your house too. Loraine as we are coming up to Scotland I'm going to have to check out this Caledonian Cheesecake Factory! . Thank you Sue for sharing such a beautiful card.
Love and hugs to everyone

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Sorry I have not been around for a while as I have been unwell again and have been finding it difficult to keep up with every day life. I want to thank you for sharing today's beautiful card and fab video. I love the video. It is so helpful and informative. I love this new Striplet of yours. It looks really pretty and detailed. Great for a woman's cards yet I think it would work really well used on a man's card to. A sort of unisex type striplet die !! Lovely Portuguese dies used for the centre focal point and what a fantastic sentiment. I love it all !! I have looked back at your previous posts and I absolutely love every single card !! You really are so very ta!ented Sue. I am looking forward to your surprise tomorrow now. Take care, lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love to all the Wonderful people on Sues wonderful blog today from Tres x x x

Looking forward to tomorrow too as I love the new launch posts because we get spoilt with quantity but never lose any of the quality of card ideas.

I am in the US and have just started following your blog. Your cards are absolutely gorgeous! Had a chance to read through some of the comments and this seems to be a very friendly and supportive group. Was wondering where I can get the Ebony Ice or something similar in the US. Looking forward to the surprise tomorrow. Thank you for sharing your awesome creativity!
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning and elegant card.Going through an extra elegant phase at the moment.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the blog launch of your new dies.
Morning Sue, these are always my favourite type of Sue Wilson card - simple, classy and elegant. Like the lady herself - except for the simple part! ;)x
ReplyDeleteI recently discovered your blog and am working my way through the archive of posts. I think your video tutorials are excellent for new cardmakers like me, a die-cutting virgin! I get my brand new Grand Calibur next week (birthday pressie)and having watched you use this machine I feel confident and eager to get die-cutting. Many thanks Sue, keep up the good work.
