Stunning card Sue.
Melody I am so sorry that the news was not good from the hospital. I hope when you both see the main surgeon that he has better news for you. Francis has a strong determination to even go through the tests. My heart is breaking for you both. My love and prayers for you both,

Morning Sue.
A lovely festive card this Thursday. I love how your close up photography shows the depth of your folders, it also shows that some of your folders are very versatile and can be used for any occasion and for any season (apart from those that look obviously festive)
Thanks you for sharing your talent and craft space with us.
Have a great day whatever your plans.
Love to our Sam and TOB thinking of your both.
Hugs.

Fabulous card and video and what a great tip about the way to tape the 8 X 8 folder it was something I was struggling with so thank you for that.

Thanks for showing us.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue,
Lovely card and a great one for the guys in our lives. Great tip for attaching the smaller embossed lines to stop it buckling. Love the bells with the gilding wax on - how is your wax so soft? Mine is really hard and comes out quite clumpy!
Melody and Francis, I'm sorry that the news wasn't great yesterday and I'm hoping that when you seen the main consultant on Tuesday that things will be sorted for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Try to stay strong - I know that is easy for me to say. Love to you both xx
Sending love and hugs to all especially those in pain, having treatment, or feeling down for any reason, Alison xxx
Hello Sue,
A very different card today. Love the gilding wax on the bells.
Patricia, Hazel and Anne have a lovely time at the Craft Fair! Also any others who are going in Scotland!
Melody - I don't really know what to say to you today. All I'm going to say is that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and my heart goes out to you all.
Love to,all in pain or who are suffering today.
Myra xxxx
Hi Sue
These large Sentiment dies really do make classy looking cards. I love the way you have gilded the bells.
Margaret xxx
Hi Sue
Another stunning card today. I've watched the video and saw how you did the smaller EB piece. What a great way to make sure all the lines are virtually equal. Love how you added the gilding wax to the wax as well.
Hi Sue,
Such a lovely card.
Shirley T.
This is lovely :)
Oh how beautiful Sue. I'll enjoy the video later.

Very, very pretty. I've purchased a few of your "word" dies and I love them. Jan D., Florida, USA
Nice card. Like the smaller embossing folder a lot and the idea of doing a larger and smaller version. The doubling of the bells plus gilding a third set of bells is a nice idea giving a lot of texture to the card.
Teresa
Love your sentiment dies Sue.
Love and hugs

LOVE the simplicity that makes this so elegant!! TFS!
Hello Sue.
I bought all three 8x8 folders as I think they have a great masculine feel to them.
I like the decorative edge on your mat. The bells are lovely and the effect of them hanging is very clever. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Beautiful card Sue but I don't have the Jingle Bells die because i have so many of your others dies, the video was great and gave me ideas.
Sorry the news wasn't good Melody and Francis.
Hugs to all who need them. Johanna
Hi Sue,
Loved this one when you showcased on the telly!!!

HI SUE
FAB VIDEO. WAS THINKING WHEN I SAW THE THE BELL DIE COULD CUT THOSE BELLS OFF, YOU READ MY MIND. LOOK GREAT WITH WAX ON. NEAT TRICK LOOK METAL. THE SCORED LINE FOLDER I PUT ON LIST TO BUY AND STILL HAVEN'T MANAGED TO GET IT. SO USEFUL, CAN EVEN PUT FLOWERS IN IT TO SCORE THEM. MUST GET IT. GREAT CARD.

Simplicity at it's best on this card. Great job on the video. Thank you. I finially figured out what I need to do to "like" each of your videos now. The thumb icons had disappeared from this site, but now these icons are only on the youtube site. Am I the only one that could not figure this out?
Nice card, Sue, particularly like the two layers of the scored EF - what an elegant look.
Melody - so sorry the news was not what you hoped for, what a difficult time for you all. Perhaps all will seem clearer next week.

What a beautiful christmas card I love the embossing, It looks great layered up.

Really like this card, the EF is lovely and as always a great video with such helpful advice, thank you.
Melody sending caring hugs to you and all the family especially young Mollie, my heart goes out to you all
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Another stunner and think this card falls into the 'special' card category for that special person/friend. Love that the sentiment die does most of the work even though there are fab textures behind it.
So very pretty!
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Oooooo fantastic video to show us how to do this beautiful card Sue xx Love the Scored Lines EF and the elegant way it looks on a card. Love the dimension of the sentiment with the added touch of the lovely gold gilding wax. Just beautiful Sue xx Sending love and hugs to you Sue, your mom and family xx Sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who are in need too xx "Thank you Sue" xx Love Karen xx
Love this embossing folder. Has so many uses. Stunning card

Love this Die.
It makes a beautiful card.
I have this embossing folder but not the die. So looks like I shall put it on my wish list amongst all the other dies :-) lovely card. Hugs, Ivy xx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card.
Beverley W
An elegant card - what a difference the gilding wax makes!
Hi Sue, although not to my personal taste, I know several people that would really like this card. I love the way you created the edging with the diagonal die and the way you treated the bells. Both tricks that I shall apply to other projects.
Melody - sorry the results were not as you had hoped. Maybe next week will bring you better news. Thinking of you and your family always.
Frances
Another gorgeous card today and it's a christmas one yay I love

Great card and a very enjoyable video. I really look forward to your video days as they are so informative.

Lovely card Sue. I have just bought the scored lines embossing folder and so this is a great demo for me.

This card is simple but as you say one statement die really makes a great card.
Beautiful card today Sue, looks so intricate.

Gorgeous card Sue and a fabulous video as usual.
lovely card ,love the sentiment die ,Laura O
Excellent design. This sentiment really works well alone - well it does the way you do it! Look forward to watching the video tomorrow.
Hi sue and crafters.
Just beautiful sue. I quite like that lined folder I'll need to get it when time allows.
I'm not even hinny bother with the show in Glasgow again haven't got a few years now either as it's getting smaller every time.
The past few years I've just bought myself something with the money I would've spent on train fare ,coffee, ticket for show anthem the lunch whilst there so far I'm nearly at £20 that could be two of sues lovely dies without leaving the house! Lol
Melody. I've been thinking of u and ur family and how ur coping with this extremely difficult time. I can't imagine really but i really feel for u both and the decision ur going to have to make
My thoughts are with u love xxx
Hi, love today's card ( when don't I ? ),the embossing is fantastic.
Melody I am so sorry you are having to go through this heart break, gentle hugs.
Yvonne G thank you for your kind wishes but the test did not go well which means more procedures to go through and another problem which needs to be looked at urgently. Very sore from today's goings on.
We love/hate Apprentice here you summed it up with your reference to ineptitude.
Will pop in tomorrow after blood test and meeting my Mum in town it will be lovely to get out so I hope my feet aren't too painful
Wishing good things to all x
Hi Sue,
Another great demo. I love what you have done with the bells.
Thank you for sharing.
Veronique L
Gorgeous card. You make it all look so easy. I wish I had more time to craft but don't get a lot of time and it ends up last minute and just now I'm not very creative. I hope my love for it comes back soon. Just pretty down in the dumps. Sorry for moaning.
Hugs to everyone that needs one.

Yes it is getting to be that time of year!! Thanks Sue for the lovely card.
Hi Sue, really pretty card, it was seeing this card that made me buy the die a while back. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx
Thank you Pam an everyone for the lovely kind thoughts, I don't really know what to say myself because I don't know what I would do myself. On Tuesday if the main surgeon says yes then Francis as to tell him yes or no, I know he wants to go ahead but he feels they don't really want to do it so why should he go ahead, he is very quite right now he is trying to take it all in as are the rest of us. Thank you again. xXx
Hi Sue. Another beautiful card. I go to the scored lines e/b folder nearly all the time and i have to tell myself off as i have loads of folders which are just as lovely. The jingle bells die is a great one to make cards for the younger people in our lives as it looks such fun for them and then you can keep changing the colours of the hats to match your cards but the way you have used the guilding wax on this one gives it that extra bling. Another great video today and looking forward to christmas double day tomorrow.
Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Thought I had commented earlier. Thank you so for showing this lovely card and the video.
Hi Sue
Lovely card, I do love the EF, so versitile and I feel the sentiment die, especially with the blinged up bells, doesn't need a whole lot more. Great for batch making I'd imagine.
Melody, I'm so sorry Francis' "numbers" weren't higher. Feeling like someone doesn't want to help you is horrible and I can't compare my situation to his but I know how demoralising it is to feel/ know that a consultant won't do a certain test or treatment just because you don't exactly fill the criteria. it's the last thing Francis needs to feel like. Please remember he can get 2nd, 3rd or 4th opinions if he'd like them. He can choose to go to any hospital too be it your local or a specialist regional cancer centre, in any region! Sadly I have learned if you want the best chance at the best life you can have you have to fight them as well as what you've got. Sending love, hugs, stregnth & hope to all the family xxx
Yvonne, hope you're resting up if you're fatigued. Hugs xxx
I've felt a bit less shattered. I've been taking vitamin B12 and it seems to have helped. I'm going to tell the Dr tomorrow as it may help someone else I feel a bit more with it, asleep/ awake/ asleep / awake rather than just effed. Problem is though I feel up to doing a little more - something more physical or sorting paperwork then that wear me out as I'm not ysed to it, no stamina lol. Fell asleep earlier this evening then be awake/ asleep ever since. Starting to drop off now so I'll close it here. Taken over 1.5 hrs to blog cos I keep dozing off!
Will be back soon,hugs to each and evry one of you, lots extra for those who need or want them. Take care, im off to bed
