Hello crafters! You have seen me use the sparkle texture paste through masks and to grout embossing folder patterns, but did you know that it can also be used to grout your die cuts too? Today's video shows you how easily it is done.
I wanted to let you know that there has been a slight change in my Hochanda show hours. Instead of doing a two hour show on Saturday morning, they have moved it to be a two hour show at the end of the day, from 6pm to 8pm on Sat.
The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card sue as always will be watching u later and can't wait to see what u will do for demos.
I'd like to thank all the girls yesterday that left kind msgs of support that meant a lot to me.
Unfortunately the news wasn't good and I've pretty much been told that it's highly likely that it's breast cancer. ;-(
However I had 2 samples taken one from under arm as I've a lump there too I wasn't aware of and a calcified one which is the one I could feel and had a core sample from there.
I've to go back next thurs after they've analysed the samples to see what they are dealing with and to find out which course of action/treatment they are going to take.
My family as u can imagine are quite shocked by the news as like myself I still really can't take it in so please ladies if u don't regularly check ur selfs please do it can make all the difference as I've caught it early.
My mom had it drummed into us after she had it at 38. I'm now 41 and gonny fight it all the way.
Anyways to all that are suffering today u have my best thoughts and wishes because I know there are worse things happening to others than is happening to me.
Thanks again for ur support its really appreciated and thanks for letting me ramble on here as my comment is normally very short!!

Morning Sue. WOW A beautiful christmas card. Great hints and tips on the video to create this gorgeous card. Loving the frame and the sparkle on this one. Julia had some great shows yesterday with some wonderful dies. Sorry to hear they have changed your two hour show to the end of the day which is quite tiring, but we will all be there watching and cheering you on until the end of the show. Thanks for letting us know as now i can change the times for recording.

Hi Sue. Love this card and can't wait to watch the video, but I'll have to wait until everyone else is up before I can. As I was playing with texture paste yesterday I'm looking forward to seeing how else I can use it. Thanks for the heads up about the changes to your show times.
ReplyDeleteTracy - please ramble on. I'm so sorry that your news was not positive, however you have found it early which is always better. I know that many ladies on this blog have faced this awful disease and will have lots of advice and help for you; the rest of us will just be here to listen and send you hugs. Sue XXX
A beautiful card today Sue. I have used the sparkle paste to make a couple of Christmas cards this year. It takes a bit of practise to get an even layer, but I am getting better (I think). Lovely to see how many different ways we can use our dies. Have a good day. Hugs Sylvia xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card,really like these dies useful for lots of things,like the colour too,
Wishing you well Tracy,
Thank you Sue

Yes, Sue, spectacular is definitely the word here! Gorgeous card with lots of frame elements and love those snowflake borders - utterly scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteTracy - keep strong and hang in there and ramble away as much as you like. Lots of hugs and support here.
Rebecca you did make me laugh, having a day off to make a card... just as well I'm retired as it can take me 2 days to find a space on the desk lol!! And NO not joking.
Sometimes thinking - where is the desk? Need a major tidy up of shelves and floor too as can never find anything. Frustrates OH as his desk is used as a proxy (but only when he doesn't have a need!) - H E L P.

Such a fresh looking card, lovely!
ReplyDeleteMorning dear Sue.
ReplyDeleteI never tire of video tutorial days watching you working (play) and your helpful hints and tips just start my day off nicely. You have shown us another beauty today and made me long even more for your first edition festive collection !! Had my dear husby returned my debit card to my purse after buying fuel I may have adopted a couple yesterday as it was my treat after yet another appointment, but a ll I managed to adopt was a bag of dog food I chose head's and Cassie obviously chose tails so the ten pound note was spent on her !!! By the time I got home I'd had more than enough and couldn't face going out again besides I'm still looking high and low for my lost mojo and can't find it anywhere which isn't good at all considering market is running up behind me FAST and I should be re-stocking the cards people adopted from me last market Sunday and I'm in a right panic. Can I buy about 6 female birthday card samples from you Sue please lol : )
Tracey. You are woman , YOU are strong. YOU will get through this and we will stand by your side for as long as you want.
Theresa TOB - Your time will come. You will face next year a new woman, so watch out craft world Theresa will return with vegance and a smile, just need to get your fit first : )
I've rambled far too much for some people, so I will send lots of love and hugs to you Sue and my special dear friends both from this wonderful blog and from our lovely special FB group.

Morning Sue .Fabulous card and you used my favourite noble die. Will be watching your shows on Hochanda. Gloria (Sidcup) xx PS thinking of you Tracy.x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful gift you have given us today.
Thank you for showing that the 'grouting' can be done through our die cuts. I would never have thought of doing that. As I said the other day my pots of grouting have arrived and so I have the products now I need to find the time to play.
White/white with just a little pop of colour is always a winner with me and so today's gift has been placed in my 'must do' box.
I hope you're having a reasonably peaceful week Sue after your very hectic time over the last few weeks. Thank you for the nod about your time change at the week-end.
I have to sort out the mess I made yesterday. I sat and made a start on my October bday cards; got as far a cutting out and then made a complete mess of assembling. It was even too far gone to do any sort of recovery so I have to start again today.
To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Good morning Sue and fellow wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteOh my such a gorgeous card, now this one is my kind of traditional that I love to see and make. That little 'pop' of colour is brilliant. Will watch video later, have to visit daughter Giorgina this morning.
Tracy, Not too good news for you but I do like your attitude. Cancer can and has been beaten twice by me for I firmly believe a positive outlook is needed to fight back and yours, as you have already demonstrated, will carry you through all the treatments etc. As will all the help and support and encouragement that we can provide via this tinternet. Special (((hugs))) for you today.

Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the card today. Will get out the texture paste and try this for a background, just beautiful. The white with just a touch of blue is fabulous too.
Your show is now on at 2-4 am here Sue so I am hoping they will be replayed as I can't record on line. I will keep my eyes on the program and see what I can catch.
All the warmest wishes to you Tracy, I have been there and finished treatment just in time for my son's wedding, that was nearly 12 years ago now and I have a beautiful grandson and granddaughter as well as full health and I wish exactly the same for you. Big hugs

Hello Sue & WW!
ReplyDeleteLove the video and was surprised to realize I have all the dies except the debossed snowflake (for small oval)! I guess I'm missing a huge part tho because I don't have any sparkle texture paste :-( hopefully I can remedy that soon! As always, your instructions are clear and easily followed. I also really like having the nice photos as I save a copy within an app I have on my phone that keeps inventory of my dies (of course I have to enter the information). So for each die (that I own) that was used on a card, I attach the photo of the card for later inspiration.
"P" in Wales - evidently it was your turn to make me laugh. I too would have to spend at least 2 days to clean off a desk, or even one end of a table to get started on a card (I wish I were joking, but I'm not). I have to haul all my supplies elsewhere to get any crafting done. If I want to work at home, the only flat surface that is readily available is the stovetop! I kid you not. If I must work at home, no one gets to eat anything that requires warming until I'm done!
So Laine, I actually do a very poor job of balancing work & home life. I spend way too much time working and any household duties fall behind. But, taking a day off for something fun was an attempt to gain some sense of balance. It didn't turn out quite as planned tho bcs a work situation came up that I had to deal with and then I spent a few hours helping a friend look for a lost dog (not her dog, but one she is babysitting). No luck yet finding the poor dear and I'm just sick about it. Before that happened, I did get my sister's card started and I took a class in which we made 4 adorable Halloween cards, so I was able to have some fun. The day just didn't end on a good note. I'll feel much better when the doggy gets found safe & sound.
Tracy, I'm sorry u didn't get the news u (& all of us) were hoping for. Something tells me tho that your diligent watchfulness will serve you well in this situation. Chin up & march on & know that we are behind you!
Hugs to any interested! Xx Rebecca in Colorado

ReplyDeleteHello Sue.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to grout your die cuts. Such a pretty card and I really like the hint of colour. Thanks for sharing,
Thanks for the Hochanda update, personally it works even better for me. I hope you enjoy it.
Best wishes
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card, your creativity is amazing. I love using texture pastes, am I a frustrated brickie I wonder :-)
Hugs, Rose
Lovely card Sue. I would never have thought of grouting a die cut as you have done, I don't know why as I have tried the technique with embossing folders. Can't wait to try it with one of the noble dies that arrived in the post.
ReplyDeleteA heads up to Tracy Stitt, I too was diagnosed with breast cancer at a couple of years older than you are now. I went through the chemotherapy and radiotherapy and came out of it with no recurrence since then. My last chemo was in July 1991 so 24 years on I am still going strong - well As strong as a 67-year old can!!!! The disease is beatable as six of my friends who have also had it will testify. Good luck with what ever comes. I for one, although I don't know you, will be rooting for you.
Stunning card today Sue.
ReplyDeleteI love the snowflake die sets. I usually use double sided tape and glitter for a sparkly effect with my die cuts but the texture paste technique looks quite easy to do so will have to try it and see how I get on.

A beautiful card today sue x I cannot wait to watch the video later and see the technique used for grouting the die cut x I have the paste and bought a spreader ( don't think that's the technical word for it !) So I don't have to use hubbys baking palette knife anymore !!! Please don't tell him anyone xxx thankyou so much sue for your inspiration x

Hope everyone is having a good day, Love Brenda xxx
Beautiful card and I will definitely try the grouting technique. I've also cut my background dies in really heavy card and used them like stencils for inking backgrounds. They aren't reusable, but I do get several inked/stenciled backgrounds from one die cut if I do them all at one time. Make sense? TFS your talent. Jan D., Florida, USA

I have never heard of this technique! So beautiful! Also a two time breast cancer survivor. Hang in there Tracy!
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Another absolutely gorgeous card and video, Sue, thank you. I must try this technique...you make everything look so easy.
ReplyDeleteTracy, hang in there and keep that positive attitude...that's half the battle. I will continue to send hugs and prayers your way.
Rebecca, I once spent a summer in Colorado and it was sooo beautiful. My older brother was in the the Air Force and invited me to stay with him for the summer. (That was over 50 years ago.) He lived in a very small town called La Junta. We took day trips to other parts of the state and one of my fondest memories of Colorado was the magnificent mountains. I'd love to go back one day.
Have a beautiful day everyone!
Love this card today.

ReplyDeleteGood afternoon the lovely Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful winters card Sue with the lovely iced snowflakes and the beautiful soft sky blue that you have used as a frame. I think you must be joining in with the children and making a "frozen" card as the colours match very well with it. The pearls in the centres of the snowflakes just finish them off lovely. Thank you Sue for yet more beauty to entice us with.
Sorry folks but trying to finish off the 3rd bolero today so that i can start the 4th for this wedding next weekend, so hence not been around a lot at moment. Sending crafty hugs to all my Angels, young and older alike

ReplyDeleteFeels like the cold, icy and sparkling. So much better than all this heat and humidity we are having now. Love the white on white cards so much. Excited to see a new video, as I watch them over and over on the Apple TV. Wish I could get the Hochanda channel on there. Best to everyone one here.
ReplyDeleteOOH I love sparkly snow flake cards, so you have made my day by showing this one.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it.
Hello Sue, and all the ladies.
ReplyDeleteSorry I've been AWOL for a few days, but today's card is a beauty. Well, nothing's changed there has it?
Tracy, I'm sending love and hugs, and you will be in my prayers. We are all here to support you.
Rebecca and 'P', (P - I can still see you in your orange top that Sue posted years ago!!) I have perfected the art of walking into my craft room on my hands and walking on the ceiling. There's just no room to walk on the floor!!

Sounds fascinating - 'Die Grouting' - will have to watch the video for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is a stunning card as always Sue.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, beautiful card and very instructional video. Love the sparkle you get with the embossing paste.
ReplyDeleteTracey - so sorry your news was not better, good that you have been diagnosed early though. Stay strong and remember that we are here for you.

Another lovely card. I have some sparkle texture paste but haven't used it yet. Think I'll have to try it out at the weekend!
ReplyDeleteTracy, I'm so sorry you didn't get the results you were hoping for. Stay positive. Once you have a definite plan for treatment, I think you'll find it easier as things just seem to move along. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers.
Hugs to all,

Gorgeous card Sue!
ReplyDeleteI love your grouting technique as you call it!
Lovely card Sue. I enjoy using the paste but have never thought to grout through a die/die cut! Thank you for the inspiration - can't wait to try the technique.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone
ReplyDeleteOk I'm here after being AWOL since my trip to Ally Pally. Today is the first day I have looked at our lovely Sue's blog since Friday.
Ally Pally was fantastic and I was absolutely delighted to make it and meet all you lovely Wilsonettes. Sue was as magnificent as you would expect. She looked stunning and had so much time for anyone and I don't think there was a single moment that there was not a crowd of people buzzing round her demo area. Even though it completely wiped me out I am hoping to be there in April for another fix.
I am on a mission to play catch up on all of Sue's beautiful cards that I have missed over the last few days. Be patient with me whilst I ease my way back into 'particraftiness'.
Today's card is a dream Sue. A stunning compilation of your outstanding dies and your fantastic and unique ability to make everything 'fit' better than anyone else I can think of. Video not viewed yet but something to look forward to.
Lorraine - I do hope that you have not been getting up to too much mischief whilst I have not been around to keep you on the straight and narrow. I am going to try really hard and go back over the last few days to check you out but am suffering from brain fog and must be careful not to overload and crash.
Take care everyone - fingers crossed I'll be back tomorrow
Crafty hugs

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card , Sue. I haven't watched the video yet, - don't know where my time has gone today - but look forward to seeing it tomorrow. Also looking forward to your Hochanda shows.
ReplyDeleteTracey: I am so sorry to hear your results are not good. Keep positive and know we are all rooting for you. Sending a great big hug.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love this card it's very Christmasy.
Looking forward to watching the video for this lovely card although I'm not sure when I'll fit it in with all those Hochanda shows to watch!
ReplyDeleteReally delicate and pretty - will watch the video tomorrow when I have a bit more time. Hope your shows over the weekend go well, and I'll try to tune in if I can - sadly I can't get Hochanda on my BT vision system, so no chance of recording and watching later. Susan x
ReplyDeleteGood Evening Sue

I really need to try the grouting technique.
Love

A lovely card with sparkle, I think its time to start thinking about Christmas cards, as my production is not fast.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try most of your festive cards. I did buy sparkle paste at Ally Pally but not tried any of it yet.

Hi Sue, such a lovely card today but will have to wait until I return home before I can catch up on your videos. I love texture paste and it adds so much to backgrounds. Heaps of love to Tracy. Chin up and keep smiling if you can. We're all routing for you . Hugs. xxx Pauline A
ReplyDeleteHi Sue where have I been this will be the first time ever for me to leave a comment on a blog only just discovered. I managed to catch some of your programs on Hochanda and was overwhelmed by your wonderful and inspiring cards and demo's. I have now spent much to much money on new crafty prezies. Found your blog and just had to join in with all the others in saying what beautifull cards you make you are an inspiration to us all. Now inspite of having a large collection of other dies I am sure I will be spending more on yours they are so beautifull I cannot resist. I am also sure I will spend too much time in the future following your blog and watching all your vidio's Thank you.
