Good Sunday morning all! I started by cutting the Canadian Background out of
milk card. I left a wide border around it and added some paper piercing to it. Next I used the inner shape from the
Porto die to cut an aperture in the centre of the background before putting mounting foam on the back to raise it for dimension. I cut two of the
Elegant Lace Edgers and added them into the sides of the aperture for a little extra detail. I selected
Duck Egg blue card and backed it so that the blue showed through the cut out areas in the
Canadian Background. I added
3mm cream flatback pearls to the centres of all the decorative squares in the background. I cut two thin frames using the
inner shapes from the Portuguese collection, one in milk and one in duck egg blue. I added some thin pieces of mounting foam and raised the frame up and placed it around the opening of the aperture. Next I stamped
Phill Martin's Decadent Damask Occasion Sayings in black on milk card and covered it with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I coated it with
Diamond Snow for extra shimmer, then mounted behind my centre framed aperture. I made two felt flowers using the
Diagonal Foldover Flower die set and seated them on a piece of
cream tulle. I added
Splendid Swirls and Mosaic Leaves around the flowers as accents. I completed the card with more paper piercing of a milk card mat, a thin duck egg blue mat and one more milk mat layer. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 3/4" in size.

Morning Sue.
A beautiful card thank you.
I will catch up today on yesterdays brilliant shows.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Take care Kitty.
Hi Sue. I think this is my favourite background (so far) and I love how you've cut the aperture and framed it.
Had fabulous news yesterday - the pathology on the ovarian tumour I had removed a couple of weeks ago has come back all clear so whilst I'm still feeling rough from the surgery the relief is immense.
Congratulations to all the winners. Sue XXX
Great card Sue. Congrats all winners.
Sunday smiles to you Sue. Just catching up with yesterday's shows whilst waiting for 4 paws and husby to gain consciousness again so I can get the bedding done and on the line before we start getting sorted for the craft/farmers market, it's been ages since we've seen you demo the shaving foam technique in fact I bought the container and foam when I first saw you do it and it's still un-used , that has to be at least 2 years ago so you have given me a kick up the boutie to get playing lol.
I just love this morning's treat, and the Canadian background has come out to play again which is so pretty.
Still have a few shows left to watch, but that will be my treat for when I get back later today, rest my painful body with you and a hot coffee as my prescription lol.
I will leave you with love and hugs for the day and hope it's a lovely one for you, and my dear special friends here and on our special FB page.
Congrats to all winners. Enjoy your treat.

Good morning Sue. Thank you for using the Canadian background die for today's card, another stunning design that I can try myself. Congratulations to the winners.x
So gorgeous, love that background die, xxx
Good morning Sue
I love today's card using one of my favourite background die and flower die. Yesterday's shows were fabulous and full of excellent demos. I particularly liked the demo using tissue paper (did the cosmic shimmer PVA glue work?). That was a brilliant idea making separate holly berries I'm definitely going to try that.
That was brilliant news craftySuetoo you must be over the moon sending you a hug X
Congratulations to all the winners

Well done to the comment winners.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, beautiful card today I love the Canadian background. You must be absolutely knackered after your mammoth crafting sessions on Friday and Saturday, I enjoyed every single one of them, I enjoyed the fact that sometimes things didn't go to plan but the creations were still gorgeous, your a very talented persons Sue, I don't know if you realise that.
I know you have a party today with your family so relax and enjoy yourselves.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi sue

Congrats to the winners enjoy ur gift!
Crafty sue. I'm so pleased for u I can imagine the relief u must be feeling. Take it easy xx
Love to all xx
Morning Sue
First I hope you managed to get a relaxing evening after your marathon yesterday. I have recorded all your shows so will be having a 'Sue Feast' over the next few days.
Now today's gift. I've loved this background die from the first minute I saw it as it so reminds me of quilting and it will stand whatever we want to do to it.
So this Beautiful Sunday morning gift is just exquisite from start to finish.
I have stored it away in my 'must do' box but I really don't think it will be staying in there for very long. No Winter sleep for this gift.
Congratulations to this week's luck winners.
We have a proper Autumn morning here at the moment dry but very misty and quite chilly too.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

GM Sue. What a lovely card. Fab demos yday especially the shaving foam. That's pure theatre when you do the reveal! Haven't done one of those for ages so I must get out the foam and play again soon. Happy Sunday all. Congrats to the winners.
Really pretty card sue
Good morning Sue and everyone
A beautiful sight on a misty Sunday but the Sun is breaking through. The duck egg adds a subtle bit of colour (but I'm biased lol!).
Loved the shows but knowing how much work goes into them and last week, its time for you to have a break methinks.
Enjoy a big piece of cake!
Ang x
Yet another lovely card as usual Sue, so versatile as it could be anything from birthday to get well, thank you etc. I love this Canadian background so think that has to go to the top of the 'to buy list'. Well done with the shows, hadn't seen the shaving foam technique so was very impressed with that. Congrats to all the winners!
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card and the canadian background die is fast becoming my favourite. The colour combo is lovely. Watched and taped your shows yesterday and there was a lot of new ideas for me to have a play with. You did so well with all your shows but by your two hour show you must have felt like you had been on air all day but you never let it show and it looked like you were having a great time. Hope you get to have some R&R time today just to recharge your batteries. Congratulations to all the lucky comment winners.
Take care everyone and have a lovely day.
Best Wishes.

Hello Sue,
Love that Canadian Background die, it's so pretty with those little floral squares...and I'm liking the font that Phill has used for the sentiment, very classy...
Watched three of your Hochanda shows so far, very enjoyable, good to see the shaving foam technique again!...I made so many backgrounds with it a couple of years ago and had a blast making them too...
Conratulations to all the winners...
Izzy
Have just read your comment Melody, so sorry to hear your bad news. You really must try & get some sleep as you will need to stay strong. Hope you come out of your bad dream soon but meanwhile do take care & look after yourself. Love to Molly. Xx

Hi Sue. Another beautifully designed card. Well done on your marathon day on Hochanda
Yesterday you must have been exhausted but you didn't show it. Thank you for demoing how
You do the piercing. Congrats to todays winners.
Hello Sue, this card is another stunning creation, as always a favourite colour combo with the blue and white. Well done on the brilliant shows, so much to take in, and really beautiful samples and great demos. Congrats to the comment game winners. Have a great Sunday. Bx
Hi Sue, adore the card, loving the background die especially, Loved your shows still catching up with them all
Morning Sue,
I love this card, the more I see the Canadian background the more I need it lol.
I spent yesterday making cards while watching your demos on Hochanda, it's good to see they have brought in flexi buy. I would have got some but I have either one or two of the dies that were in each pack, so would end up with two lots.
I want to have a go at your technique with the tissue paper, but must get the lacquer first, think I know where I can get that.
Hope you have a good Sunday and manage to get some well deserved rest after the last almost 48 hours on Hochanda.
Thanks for all your inspiration you give
Maggie
Morning Sue I must get this Canadian die it is so versatile .Love the colour combination you have used. Loved your Hochanda Shows .Gloria(Sidcup) xx

Beautiful background with the Canadian die and I do love the splendid swirls. Fabulous card as always. Pat x
Hi Sue
What a fabulous card, can't wait to try it for myself. My favourite colour palette is blue & white so a real winner. Definitely going to have a go at making the flowers as well now that my dies have arrived.
You are an inspiration & I never tire of watching your videos, learn something new each time.
Do you think you could tell us the approximate size of the card you start with, before you cover it with double sided adhesive &/or cut it down to fit the shape you are using? This would save a lot of frustration on my part as I am rotten at guessing!
Thanks so much.Pat
Hi Sue,
Love this background die. I also wanted to say what a brilliant job you did on the telly yesterday, your demos and samples were amazing. Hope you manage to have a bit of a rest today.
Beverley W
Hi Sue - this Canadian background is just beautiful and never fails to make a stunning card and the flowers really set it off. Your shows were fab yesterday and showed lots of techniques which will come in very useful. Hope you get to relax today and enjoy this lovely sunshine. Best wishes

I'm playing catch up again today, had visitors for most of the week. Just watched the last two videos, always enjoy them.
The cards shown this last week have been lovely, so inspirational.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Love the offering today particularly as it uses the Canadian background which I think had to be my favourite of all the backgrounds you have done.
Love the colour combo as well and would love to see or attempt this in greens..
Watched all your shows back to back yesterday as had to record them and all the samples and demos were fab. Keep forgetting how much fun the shaving foam can be.
Wonderful news, so pleased for you xx
Hi Sue

Hi Sue,
Love this card it's one of my favourite backgrounds. I was out yesterday so recorded your shows and stayed up till the early hours catching up!!! Fantastic demos - if I didn't have to work today would have stayed up longer to have a play, but did manage to do a couple of masks this morning though, so they can dry for when I get home from work.
King regards

Beautiful card. I love the Canadian background. So very clever of you to have the background dies made in 2 pieces.
xx Annie P
A stunning card Sue.
I just purchased this die from you at last weeks Ally Pally show and have not had a chance to play with it yet, although I am itching to do so.
Thanks for the inspiration xxx
The more I see the Candian background the more it confirms that it is my favourite. It has so much to offer. Another beautiful card thank you.
Still to catch up on the last two shows on Hochanda. I might just go out and buy some chap (sic) shaving foam later and try your technique out, perhaps it will somewhere discover an inner artist in me. I loved the darker blue piece that you produced on the show.
Hi Sue,
a gentle, lovely card. Between the two backgrounds - Californian and Canadian - I cannot pick a favourite. Love them both.
Have a great day
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue,
I love the way you have framed the aperture. The background die is stunning.
Thank you for sharing.

Greeting Sue & WW!
I've been playing catch up on the posts. The video yesterday was so informative and the card a delight! When it was first released, I didn't think I NEEDED the dove of peace set. I'm starting to question my priorities! Today's card is also a lovely treat! The Canadian background has been on my wish list (along with all the other sets in the Canadian series)...this card is just more proof of how much I need it!
I couldn't watch any Hochanda due to the time difference and my busy weekend, but really hope to catch re-airings. I wish I could record them as I like to watch them more than once.
Maria, I've heard people say we are also supposed to have an extremely cold winter. I never believe it until I see it or feel it myself tho! Theresa, we do get some rain here, it's hard to come up with an average because some years we are in draught, others, we get so much there is flooding. We get the most in spring & summer. This year has been a nice balance. Jan in Long Island Jan - I'm glad you enjoyed your time in Colorado. I haven't been to La Junta, but I've been to Colorado Springs where the big Air Force academy is - probably where your brother was stationed? It has surely changed since you visited (by that I mean a lot more people) but It's beautiful down there. I do feel blessed to live here. The mountains especially thrill me. Been here all my life but just last month got to see my first moose (other than in a zoo)! Saw 3 actually!
I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one who is "clutter-challenged" when it comes to crafty space (ok, for me it's not just crafty space, it's any flat surface space). I have grand intentions of cleaning up & sorting. I do like to organize, just can't seem to find enough time to get & stay on top if it. Maureen, your acrobatic skills would come in handy in my craft room! Now that you point it out tho...I could double my space if I could start stacking things on the ceiling! Theresa, let me know if you find that item # for more crafting time! Sign me up!
Melody & Molly - words can't express my sorrow for all you are going through. I know you have your own health issues to deal with as well Melody. I'm thankful Milly seems on the mend after her operation - a ray of sunshine in this dark storm. Warm thoughts and prayers coming your way. I hope this blog can be an outlet for you - for whatever you need it to be.
Congrats to the comment winners, how exciting for you! I'm glad to hear of the good news for some.To those of you under the weather for one reason or another, sending hugs and looking forward to you feeling better. I'm nodding off again- best b going night night! Rebecca in Colorado
Gorgeous card. Well done to the winners

Hello Sue,
A truly lovely card today! I love the Canadian Background - it really is versatile.
Only got a few minutes.
Looked at end of yesterday's posts and read Melody's - Melody I am so very sad for you! No wonder you can't sleep. Wish I could do more but what I can do I will. I will pray for each and every one of you , especially your husband, yourself and our little Molly. How hard it is when we are grown up but very hard for a child! Sending loving thoughts and hugs your way. Try to sleep even if it's at a silly time. Xxxxxx
Love to all on the blog,

Good morning! I love this card Sue. The Canadian background is absolutely stunning! Congratulations to all of the comment winners...you are so lucky! Melody and Molly, you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Love the card today. The Canadian background is one of my favourites. The flower die too is just incredible giving such an unusual finish. Really appreciate how you re-use dies from earlier collections. It really inspires us on how to get the most out of our dies and proves what good value for money they are. Thanks yet again for the inspiration.
Enjoying your shows on Hochanda, but have to watch on my tablet or laptop as they are not broadcast on Virgin Media, most annoying!
Beautiful card, love the hint of colour.
Congrats to all the winners.

Hello Sue.
I think the Canadian background is such a sweet die. Your aperture and decoration are delightful as is the hint of blue. Thanks for sharing.

As always a lovely card, love you work and admire your creativity Sue.
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! This is soooooo pretty Sue. I love the Canadian background and love the "pop" of Duck Egg blue. Beautiful! Loved watching you last night, brilliant techniques and the gilding flake card turned out wonderfully with the missing snowflakes from underneath! It was lovely seeing the demonstrations and I know that the Shaving foam technique is at the top of your blog.....ooooo....I'm pretty sure (and hope!) that you'll be resting today after your long marathon! Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and family xx sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who are in need of some too xx Especially for Molly, Melody and family xx So so sad that with this disease it is swings and roundabouts x A friend told me that herself and two of her sisters had cancer and she was the only one to survive it. Myself, I was the only one out of 20 women, who turned up for their results, to be sent down to the bottom of the corridor. Seeing their smiles as they came out was fantastic to me. I was so chuffed for them, honestly, I was and thought, well, sock it to me and I'll go from there...... My heartfelt prayers sent to you all xx and CraftySue so so pleased that you have been given the all clear! Live each day to the hilt! Enjoy every minute of every day! xx Take care everyone xx Love Karen xx
Love this card Sue. I have just bought this die and hope to try it our later.

Congratulations to the winners!! I adore this card!! I love the flowers, the awesome background and the way you did the sentiment brought a smile to my face!! TFS!
Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Well, this is by far my favourite background die, it doesn't matter how it is utilised the effects are truly stunning, so it's a no brainier for me , I love today's card! I toyed with using this design for one of my dreaded male cards, but decided on another with the same background die and I have been really pleased with the results. It is so detailed that it needs a few runs through the GC but it is so worth the gaff of poking the bits out for 20 minutes- thank god for my cordless, handheld Dyson cos the mess is more than I can comfortably cope with:-) Being OCD and a crafter is an uneasy mix, I spend half my time creating a mess and half my time tidying it up again!....so much for having a craftroom to shut the door on the mess:-) besides, leaving anything lying is a recipe for disaster with Brodie around, yesterday he spied a smoothie and claimed it as his own to play football with and carry around the house in his mouth...suffice to say that it has now disappeared and I've had to appease him with another one! Dante, my previous cat, used to run around the house growling with an artists sponge in his mouth too:-)
I'm having a semi relaxing afternoon after a spot of ironing, planning to watch my recordings of Sues shows whist the tv is all mine- my mum is out with my nephew and niece so peace reigns:-) The demos have been fantastic so far, just sad that I couldn't buy anything, having severe withdrawals and feel a splurge coming on the horizon.
I've been checking transport connections to The Kettering area so that I can go to Ally Pally in April, didn't realise how difficult it would be to get there, 4or 5 changes and 7 hrs on the train so it's worrying me somewhat- didn't realise how remote Stirling can be in relation to the midlands:-( I hope that I can still go....
Yvonne, heard your name on Sues show last night and what a chuckle I had when Alex said that she couldn't read part of it out, what on earth did you say you little minx? I see that you truly are teachers pet, white chocolate fudge!??! To curry favour and extract preferential treatment is genius ,you are one step ahead of me, I can't compete with that, I'm afraid, at the moment! I'll have to see if Sue takes the bait and you get a card in recognition of your status because emotional blackmail, pleading and tears don't seem to work:-(
I feel totally Strictlyfied, thank goodness for Sky+ otherwise it would have been a tears before bedtime if I'd missed Sue- unlike Yvonne, I can't resist the peachy bottoms of the male dancers and the new one called Gleb is sex on a stick! Can't wait to see them live in Feb.
Congrats CraftySue on your results, what a load off your mind:-)
Melody, my heart breaks for you, I hope that you can garner some comfort from our love and support, try and get a bit of sleep thoughxxx
Better go, Sue calls...

I do enjoy the Canadian background, it allows so much versatility! No it is not just because I am Canadian!!! lol. This card is very pleasing to the eye and that is what I look at in any card. Congrats to the winners.
Hello Sue,
I love today's card. That background is fabulous.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Rebecca, George has now fitted a rope swing at the door and I just hold on and swing straight in like Tarzan, and land at my desk lol.
I hope everyone is well today and Melody and Molly, I send love and prayers for all your family.

Hello Sue! I really, really, really LOVE this card. The Canadian background is one of my favorites, and how creative to cut and fill an aperture in it, stunning. I tried to create a card similar to yours the last time you used the Canadian background, and it turned out amazing. Even my husband commented it was his very favorite so far, and he seldom says much. Thank you for all the inspiration.
fantastic card ,love this background die is definately one of my favourites, like the way youhave used a different shape die to cut the appurature out with,Laura O
Hi Sue,
I just love the Canadian background, it's so pretty. Love the card too! I so enjoyed your shows, though I haven't watched them all yet. Sorry Sue, but Srtictly won last night so I have to catch up with your final shows later. It's something to look forward to.
Melody and Molly : I am so sorry to hear your sad news. After going through all the treatment and then being told that it hasn't worked is so devastating. Thinking of you all and sending hugs.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card using my current (non-festive) favourite background. The flowers are pretty special too. I enjoyed most of your shows live on Hochanda and will be catching up with the others this evening before Downton.
CraftySuetoo - so pleased for you, great news.
Melody - I can't find the words but please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Congratulations to the comment game winners, enjoy your prizes.

Congratulations to all the winners!!
Sue this is a very clever card. I love the way you have used the Canadian background with the others, it looks at first like it is a special die cut to make it, but 'no' just clever Sue again. A real different look that I love. Hope all have enjoyed a wonderful weekend. Was at Rugby this morning and it is like an Indian summer here.
.Really love this card. The Canadian background die is my all time favourite so I love all cards made with it.
Hi Sue
Lovely card,really like the Canadian collection,
Thank you

Hi assume
I love this card using the background. I've seen John do a few cards with this die and it's grown on me. The touch of blue just sets the card off. Congratulations to all the winners.
This is gorgeous Sue. love the blue and cream together.xx
Beautiful card Sue!
The Canadian background has to be one of your most popular dies. I have just finished watching all your shows on Hochanda and enjoyed every one. I am loving all the new techniques you are showing us.
Congratulation's to all the comment winners!!!
Beautiful card Sue!! Love the background die cut!

Love this card. The Canadian background has to be my favourite. I used it to make a card for my mum's 85th birthday and it turned out really well. Love the little pearls to add detail.
Congratulations to all of today's winners.
Melody, my thoughts and prayers are with you. You're facing such a difficult time and I wish you the strength to carry you through.
Hugs to anyone who needs them tonight,

Beautiful, fabulous and gorgeous - enough about you - the card is lovely as well!!
I love the Canadian background. Don't have it yet but it is one of the dies at the top of my got to have list. Mind you there are quite a few at the top of that list.
With just a little touch of the duck egg this card perfect. I really do like blue and have to be careful not to use blue all the time but I struggle.
Well done to the lucky Weekly Comment Game winners.
Melody - at times like this it is very difficult to find the right words. You know that we are all thinking of you and sending you and your family all our love x
Theresa - you'll need to ask Sue for a bit of fudge but I am warning you that I think it may be easier to get blood out of a stone x
Lorraine - sounds like a bit of a trek to get to Ally Pally. Living in the middle of nowhere is all very well until something important like Ally Pally seems to be out of reach. I know that I would not be able to manage that journey so you need to do what is best. Much as it would be fantastic if you could make it there really is no point in overdoing it - even if I am worth it!!
I got a shock when I heard my name. There was no bad language or anything rude in the content of my e mail. It just congratulated Alex on keeping Sue out of mischief and at the end it said lots love from Sue's favourite Wilsonette - not quite sure what the issue was. It was nutty vanilla fudge coated in white chocolate. Have to say it is probably the sweetest thing I have ever made but Sue had said she had an exceptionally sweet tooth. Obviously she wasn't joking.
All I can say about the fact that you watched Strictly instead of Sue shows me that you are obviously not such a fan as you claim to be. As a true fan I made sure that Sue would have my undivided attention - and that is why I am her favourite x
Must away and prepare for Downton. Do love a bit of old fashioned drama.
Take care everyone
