Hello my crafty friends! Here's another card from my recent Hochanda Festive shows which is on offer today. If you would like a chance to win this one, just leave a comment to be entered into the drawing. I started by cutting the
Frosty Mini Background out of white card. I used the oval from the
Lattice Snowflake set to cut an aperture in the centre. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it. I made a frame to go around the aperture by using the outer ovals from the
Peeking Snowflake and the
Lattice Snowflake set. I mounted it with foam to raise it over the aperture. Next I embossed a piece of
Blue Dusk card using the
Frosted Stripes embossing folder. I mounted it behind my aperture. I cut two of the
Peace On Earth die, one in white and one in black. I nipped away the "on Earth" part on both, leaving just the word "Peace." I offset the black on behind the white one to create a shadow and mounted it in the centre of the aperture. I cut several of the
Classic Poinsettias in white, sprayed them with glue and coated them with
Diamond Sprinkles. I assembled them by offsetting two per flower and then adding a
Black Dazzler in the centres. I seated the larger flower on some
white tulle and Bakers Twine in the lower right corner. The smaller two flowers were attached in the opposite corner. The finishing mats were added in my usual manner. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. I will announce the winner on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x

Really lovely card this morning I do love those poinsettias. I got the filigree ones and they are just stunning.

You Started Cutting Two Of Your Dies To Create A Shadow It Looks Stunning I

Love this cards simplicity.
Lovely fresh looking card Sue. Going to Newark on Sunday, so will definitely be coming home with lots of goodies!
Hi Sue. A beautiful card. I love the Frosty background die and the Frosted StripesEF, they are both so pretty. Hugs to everyone. Take care xx
Melody, I hope that tomorrow goes as well as possible. Take care x
GM Sue. Love that background die. Think it will be a fave.
Morning dear Sue.
This card is absolutely adorable. It's certainly THE card that would remain in view well after the 12th night when all the other's have been stripped of their ribbons, bells and any other embellishments we can find for our stash boxes, then recycled.
I just love each and every die used on this card Sue, the only thing is that I've smuggled in the odd new festive die, and without looking I can't remember which I've tucked away, I need to double check before I take my Silver Anniversary card to the post office as my little craft shop is in the same direction. I'm happy to report that my customer was pleased with the end result so it was worth spending 4 hours making sure every little detail was perfect and as I said to her in the email "she is paying for a service and if I don't forfill her request to my best ability then what's the point giving me the order when there are other crafters doing the same thing and many of them making cards so much nicer than I will ever be able to achieve " and I've seen many a stunning card on the DT blogs and on the FB page I visit 'your Ally Pally friends ' Sue.
Tracey - You bought a lump to my throat. I'm thinking of you so much.
I will sign off now with love and hugs.

Hello Sue and all
Beautiful blue and white Christmas card that is so Peaceful, love it.
I am going mad with poinsettias this year specially thanks to you icing them, they look fabulous. I have covered them in glitter, glued around the edges and glittered, cut filigree and glittered them and used alone or attached to classic poinsettias, white, red, silver, gold and of course aqua. Never disappointed, thank you so much for the inspiration Sue
Have a lovely day

Loving the blue dusk card, it creates peace by its gentle colour. The card is so suitable for male or female. I think it's gorgeous Sue and clever how you have snipped away to give the word peace on its own. I would love to see this in real life as I'm sure it's even more beautiful x

Happy Wednesday Sue & WW,
Oohhh, pick me, pick me, pick me! Lol, but I would love to win this card! Of course who wouldn't? It's so beautiful & peaceful. I hadn't seen the potential in the EF used, but that's because I hadn't seen it used I guess! What can I say, when you demonstrate something Sue, I find I want it (which, barring winning a Wednesday card give away, means I want to purchase all the elements required to make it). Good luck to all in the drawing :)
Crafty Jackie, sure glad your husband is alright! I hope you are getting marvelous, recuperative sleep. It seems emotional stress can wear a person out just as much as physical labor can- sometimes even more so.
Tracy - you do have world wide support! I know I for one am sending daily positive thoughts your way and obviously so are many others :)
Melody, you and your family are also in my & many others' daily prayers. You've all been through so much and it's high time for some good news!
Laine, by this time, I imagine your mum is home safe and sound and has hopefully enjoyed her homecoming? I was just talking with a friend yesterday about how our cats behave when we get home after being gone for a couple days. It turns out hers and mine do much the same thing, which is to greet us eagerly at the door, only to give us a cold shoulder a few seconds later- and then ignore us for at least a couple hours. It's as if they are truly excited to see us, then they remember they are mad at us for leaving in the first place, so they have to punish us by depriving us of their company. Do Brodie and/or Darcy behave that way? Yvonne, your cooking sounds divine - even if I don't know what half of it is! Potatoes and crispy - that's always a winning combination in my book!
Maureen, I had no idea that's what Yorkshire pudding is, so thanks for the description. I believe many of us Americans only think of pudding as a sweet treat in various flavors that has a creamy texture. This was a complete surprise to me. Learned something new!
Ok, I can always come up with more things to say or ask, but I've fallen asleep 5 or 6 times (ha! I'm probably not the only one) since I started writing this. So before I dive headfirst in to my Tuesday night sleep, I'll sign off by wishing everyone as good of a Wednesday as possible! Zzzzz Rebecca in Colorado
Hi Sue
Yet another lovely card love the colours Have not got the peace sentiment but my substitute it for something elsel. Very dismal out side at the momment so good excuse to staY IN AND CRAFT
Love Hilary
What a lovely card Sue! :) I love everything about it, the colours especially. I really must start making my Christmas cards, how long have I been saying that for this year? :)

Hi Sue
Gorgeous card today, what a lovely wat to change the frosty background. Oooh I've just bought the embossing folder too, so exciting! I love the poinsettia , I'm finding ways to use them this year now they have found their way into my box. It's intersting to see you using spay adhesive, I works so well on delicate dies doesn't it. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxxx
Sam good to have you back, you have been missed xxxx
Melody I hope you get good news tomorrow xxxxx
Tracey your customers will all be routing for you, you are doing so well xxxx
Hi Sue, a beautiful card.
Hello Sue
A lovely card today, I love the look of the embossing folder in that lovely blue card.
I can't wait to have a play and create something similar as I do not have the Peace die. I love how the Peace die is accentuated by the black peeping out from behind the wording and of course the lovely poinsettias.
Lesley x
Lovely card Sue, that blue card is so pretty.
Rosemary xx
Just goes to show Christmas can be blue. Peace and Quiet is something I can do with right now.

Good morning Sue,
I have to say yet another stunning card and Peace is of the moment with me.... I am trying to chill out and not worry about the family members. Thank goodness I have my craft and wish to thank you for your wonderful blog. I watched your shows yesterday (recorded) and learnt so many tips.
I made the Northan Lights card yesterday, had a bit of problem with the card stock, not sure what sort you used, but got the results in the end. Even the paper that I thought was rubbish yesterday today looks lovely.
So a big Crafty hug and thanks

Gorgeous card again today Sue, and would love to go in the draw!
Hi Sue, a beautiful Christmas card. Very elegant and lovely colours.
Hello Sue,
Ooh I love this one! It's blue and white and Christmassy and I have all the dies . Unfortunately not the EF but I will use another one! Thanks to you making me look at dies differently I have cut off that Peace from Peace on Earth!! I've also cut some of the words from the Word Tree as well. They all can't be used but some can and it's so useful. Thank you for making me think! No mean feat that!!
Tracy - good for you! I love the international support too! That is so true. Wishing you all the very best and praying for continued strength.
Rebecca in Colorado - I am a Scot who lives in England and have done for 40years! Believe me there is a lot to learn about Yorkshire Pudding! I learned something just the other week! I learned that I should not have been washing the tin in which I bake my Yorkshire Puddings! You just wipe it out! Silly me - I have to say Saba was right! She isn't often you know!! Ha ha! Maureen was in that discussion too! I'm not saying anything else on the grounds I could be in deep trouble!
Melody - I'm praying for you all! You just need some relief from all this stress. Sending hugs to you and Molly.
Take care everyone,
Love to all, especially you Sue,
Myra xxx
Loved this card when I saw you demo it. The flowers are absolutely perfect and I really like the shadow behind the words - I've started doing that now and it's amazing what a difference it makes. Pat x

I've actually managed now to see all of the shows you did with Alex. I loved all the hints and tips you gave us. Loved to see this card being made live on TV. It's simply lovely. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll be kicky enough to win it.

Hi Sue,
beautiful card as ever...
I love all your snowflake dies and PEACE is so much needed these days (not only for Christmas).

Hi Sue,
I'm just in time to still say, "Good Morning".
What a lovely card today. I really like the embossing folder used for this project, very pretty. As always, I love the way you give the sentiment a shadow - I still have trouble trying to get it right lol. The poinsettias done in white are always so neat. Thanks for sharing and good luck everyone.

Hi Sue and everyone
I think this is one of the nicest cards you have done Sue, and there have been many!
Something about the crisp elegance of this one just makes it seem extra special. Just lovely.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card that anyone would love to receive or even win :-) Like Myra I am lucky enough to have all the ingredients with the exception of the embossing folder, something that needs to be rectified asap.
Myra - did we swap places? I moved to Scotland over 40 years ago and even with a Scottish mother-in-law I felt I was learning a whole new language. My new colleagues would love to test me by throwing random words at me eg baffies. Luckily I did quite well but sometimes there was much laughter at my bewilderment.
Jackie - I hope hubby is ok and has no recurrence of the chest pains.
Melody - Fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Tracy - You go girl! The positive attitude you have is just what you need.
Frances
Hello Sue,

A beautiful card in such a peaceful and tranquil colour.
I love the shadow on the word and I really love the embossing pattern in the background. Another embossing folder I must have as well as the die.
Would love to give this a home or any of your cards.
Good afternoon Sue. Love to see you use your Peace die in this beautiful card. Peace is one of my favourites and so apt for this time of the year.
Lovely meeting you at Ally Pally. I hope you got Ziggy's e mail when you were on TV recently.

Good morning! Oh, what a beautiful Christmas card Sue. You make everything work so beautifully together...thank you again for all of your inspiration. Wish I had more of your dies and embossing folders. I guess I have to be patient and just buy a little at a time.
Rebecca, I hope you got some good sleep and thanks for the daily chuckles.
Maureen, my friend here in the states makes the most amazing Yorkshire pudding. I think I must must invite myself over for dinner. Everyone here has me longing for it!
Jackie, I hope your husband's chest pains are gone for good.
Melody, sending good thoughts and prayers for tomorrow.

Gorgeous card Sue, the white and pale blue combo is stunning : )
Oh Rebecca that's brought a smile to my face about the Yorkshire pudding story. When my hubby an I went to Florida once we stopped by this amazing pancake bistro place. So we both ordered our favourite maple raisin only to be asked did we want meat with it?
We both looked at each other an went eh?? Why would we want meat with it. Apparently that's what They like to have there. I'm like
No I just want the sweet pancakes with cream an ice cream!! Lol
Hello Sue, and all the ladies.
Sue, what can I say about this card that hasn't already been said? It's gorgeous.
Rebecca, I've just realised that the batter for Yorkshire Pudding is like the batter for a pancake, but it's savoury, not sweet. Myra tries hard, bless her!!!! Saba is a Yorkshire girl (well woman), so she's the expert, but I'm the oldest so I know best ha ha.
Melody, love and prayers to your family.
Love to all
Maureen xxx
Really love this card. Must get this background die. Love, Ivy xx
A really nice Christmas card. I like it lots.
Hi Tracy I found your story funny, what kind of meat? In the states, they have steak sometimes at breakfast but almost always have sausages and eggs with pancakes!!! That is how we love it in our house. Me I love when the maple syrup gets on my sausages there.
Beautiful card Sue!
Its frustrating to say beautiful again, but it can't be helped the recent run of posts have been just that! Don't usually go for this sentiment, but think in this card it fits the feel perfectly. Thanks again for all the wonderful inspiration.
Lovely frame Sue and another beautiful card. I have the peeking snowflake but must get the other one to do this gorgeous combination.
Big hug
Julie E
Love the blue and white combo. Beautiful, as always.
HELLO SUE & ALL THE WILSONETTES!
I am so sorry for being late with my comment but I have been trying, ALL DAY, to make some more Christmas cards (as I have quite a lot to do!) but I cannot decide which of the beautiful new Sue Wilson dies to use, as they are all stunning! Well, I think I will just have to use a different die for each card!
I hope that you & your family are well, Sue?
I am sorry that I've not posted for a while but I am in quite a lot of pain, due to bladder stones.....again! I have had them removed twice but they seem to want to come back, all the time! I was supposed to go to hospital in May but I have been told, now, that it could be November, as the urology department have cancer patients & transplant patients to deal with & they have to take priority (which I fully understand!)! I have not been following other people's posts, recently but I hope that you are all healed & in more comfort, now?
Sue, your card is absolutely stunning, as usual! I really like the colours you've used & the way you've done the sentiment! I would love to be in with a chance of winning a card like this!
I send my Love & Best Wishes to you all & I hope that you future days will be a lot brighter & happier!
From,
Mary Blight XXX
Lovely card as always, my die collection is ever expanding!! Have just received the Christmas angel (gorgeous) what will I be tempted with next I wonder!! Happy crafting everyone. Maureen.
Hiya.
I think they meant sausages etc.
yeah I don't mind a fried pancake with my Scottish fry up. But those are plain pancakes not maple and raisin or choc chip lol.
Those kind are for cream an ice cream
I dunno how I'd feel with maple syrup on my sausages either I might have to try that!! I'll let u know if I do! Lol x

Well, it's that time of week when we gather together to appreciate the glory of Sues workmanship, strive to create something even mildly resembling it's perfection and dare to hope that we will be the lucky recipient of this mini masterpiece. I've given up all hope of ever being that lucky lady as I know that Yvonne's ability to persuade Sue of her suitability with cakes and sweet treats far outweighs any of my attempts at culinary prowess-poisoning Sue with me charred offerings is not the best way of procuring a card I'm afraid so I will have to be content at admiring from afar:-(
Today's prize is truly spectacular, I love the soft blue tone, very crisp and fresh and reminiscent of cold frosty mornings. The frosty background is a fave of mine and it's versatility makes it a worthwhile investment. What can I say about the poinsettias that hasn't already been said, sugaring them adds to the frosty theme. Really wish I had more of the sentiment dies, will have to remedy that oversight. One of your best tips was to offset the sentiment with black card, it really makes it pop. Good luck in the draw ladies.
I haven't been short of visitors whilst my Mum was away so loneliness wasn't an issue really, but I must admit that it is nice to have company in the house again...not to mention someone else to deal with the pussies diva strops.
Rebecca, you made me giggle in total recognition of our feline's peculiarities-Brodie was so excited to see Mum get out of her taxi, he shouted Mum!, and pawed the window purring loudly, excitedly running round her legs, jumping up on the table for a cuddle etc etc....for about 5 mins, then he became totally aloof, glanced at her with disdain as if to say 'how DARE YOU leave me!' It's comical to watch, they truly love to make us suffer for our abandonment don't they? He'd recovered enough by bedtime to sleep with her, waking her up during the night to kiss her on the lips.
Sam and Mary B, welcome back!
Steph, I requested to join your Facebook group in honour of Sue twice but with no success- you haven't had prior warning of my reputation I hope, I can provide references if it would help my application:-)
Frances, I'm a Scot born and bred but I'm ashamed to ask you, what are baffies?
Myra, having been brought up by a Yorkshire woman I was appalled to discover that you WASH your tin, that is sacrilege! Next you'll tell me that you use packet batter mix:-)
I had a good old giggle at the thought that Texan bars are drinking establishments, when they are a chocolate bar from the 1980's, I could have had days of fun misleading all our American friends if they hadn't already been enlightened by a fellow Wilsonette.
Off now to enjoy Bake Off final in the knowledge that Yvonne will be stuffing her face with sweet treats without me:-(

Loved this card on Hochanda and love it still. Linda.
Hello Sue
Well I have finally returned from my sailing holiday and had a few days to catch up.
Today's card is stunning. Love your frosty poinsettias in fact I love everything about this beauty.
What can I say about Yorkshire Puddings. Both Maureen and Myra, thanks to my genetic makeup and advice, can now both make them to a certain standard. You see, you have to be a yorkshire lass to make them to perfection and despite the fact I now live in Germany I am Yorkshire born and bred, therefore my Yorkshires are something to behold. I'm rubbish at cakes though!!!
Melody, my thoughts and prayers are all for you and Francis at this time,
Love and hugs for all

Lovely, lovely, lovely, did I say lovely? Well it is, thank you for sharing, Sue.
I guess I need to google Yorkshire pudding, I don't think we have anything like it here in Texas. If someone had an easy recipe, I might have to try some. Here pudding is always a dessert. We've famous for frying lots of foods, which is probably bad for you. My sister in law from CA remarked we'd fry anything in the south, when we ordered her fried ice cream.
Funny about the Texan Bars, that you would have candy named after us, yet we've never heard of it. It's so fun to learn about how we're different in some ways, but deep down we're probably very similar. My husband was born and raised in Brasil, his folks were missionaries, and we've had some interesting cultural differences. When I first visited there, and they heard I was from Texas, I was asked several times if I owned an oil well. Did I know John Wayne? How big was my ranch? And Dallas was a popular show then, so everyone asked me, "Who shot JR?" This one they were just kidding, but it was funny the perceptions we have.
BTw, if you believe in the power of prayer, please put our sweet son in law, Greg, on your list. We just found out yesterday he has urethral cancer, a very rare form of it. At this point we don't know anymore, he goes to the oncologist Monday. He's the dad to our 5 grandkids, ages 16 to 2. Pray for strength and peace for our daughter as she faces the unknown. I know God is still in control, and loves Greg more than anyone, we just need to trust Him.
Another lovely card. I admired it when I saw you doing the demo. The shadow effect on the sentiment really makes it special.
Hi Su,
Another beautiful card, love the blue and white.

Another gorgeous offering. The blue and white is so pretty together.
Hi Sue
Stunning Christmas card
Take care

Everything about this card is just stunning. The colour is perfect.
I really love the poinsettia dies and every time I see them on a card I just know that they have to be added to my collection. I am yet to own any of the dies you have used on this card.
The way you off set the sentiments is so clever. It is such a simple idea but so effective.
I promise to love this card, for better for worse, in sickness and in health if I win x
Well Bake off Final was so good - so thrilled with the winner, Not going to say their name in case any of you have not seen it yet. Those of you who have seen it will know who I am talking about.
Bit of an anti-climax now it is all over for another year but as Lorraine pointed out we have strictly to console us and The Apprentice starts next week. It amazes me that the contestants are supposed to be the best business minds in this country but they are so stupid sometimes. Brains are all well and good but without common sense they are not much use!!
I made a lovely gluten free pear and blueberry loaf cake to accompany the viewing of the final - it was delicious even if I say so myself. It was appreciated by all who participated in polishing the whole lot off.
Lorraine - you are more than welcome any time. Got to be quick to get a bit of cake though. I am glad your mum is back with you safe and sound. The pressure of being sole carer for your fluffy felines is obviously a lot to take on. Gleb is all yours my love. Although I think Claudia has her eye on him x
Txcowgirl - Texan Bars were wonderful. It was a really chewy sweet bar covered in chocolate. I don't know how I would describe the flavour and there is nothing now that is anything like it. Got to agree with Lorraine - we could have had so much fun with you with the explanation. I will be thinking of you and your family and hope that Greg's visit to see the Oncologist is a positive one x
Tracy - you are a star x
Sam - lovely to have you back x
Rebecca - I love feeding people and love baking x
DeCor - not really fancying the maple syrup with my sausages x
Saba - welcome back x
Melody - will be thinking of you tomorrow and hope that you get the news you are hoping for x
Off to bed now to dream about all the lovely cakes from bake off.
Take care everyone
Crafty hugs

ok as I'm using Aunt Bessie's ready made Yorkshire's :-)
Did you know though they putting mincemeat in their x-mas puddings !?
Took me a long time to see it wasn't the beef version,oops.
Lorraine- cats are funny. Ours did the exact same thing, made us
feel guilty so gave them some extra pate'.Hope Brodie is behaving
and no more escape's x
To all wilsonette's and friends, take care
hugs Maria x
Hi Sue. Sorry i didnt get to comment on yesterdays card but its beautiful. I watched the video for this card a while ago and i had a try at making it and if i say so myself it turned out ok but could do with a little more practice to make it as stunning as yours. Todays card is lovely. The colours are so clean and fresh and i love the way you have snipped the on earth away to just leave the peace, would never have thought to do this and it give you another die so two for the price of one lol. Have all the dies for this one so off to the crafty room to have a little play.
Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.

This is a beautiful card Sue. Melody thinking of you and your family.
Hi Sue, loved this card when I seen it on Hochanda it's really lovely an the colours look great. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx
Thank you everyone I very much doubt we will get any news tomorrow I suppose it takes time to get the results back to the surgeon, today Francis got another appointment for Friday an it's an all day appointment to do tests to see if he is fit enough to go through the operation, so it seems like they are getting things in place for the results of tomorrow's test. All this waiting seems to be taking forever yet everything is moving so fast. I really do thank each an everyone of you for your continuing support especially Pam your the 1st post I read every time I come on the blog an there you are with you continues support. xXx
Tracy I have been so wrapped up in my own bubble that even though I read all the posts I have not been thinking straight, you are very brave an seems like you have the will power to get through this, an it's lovely to hear you have the support from customers X
Love the background embossing folder. It adds to the beauty of this card. If only I was as half as talented as you, I would be tickled pink. You are an inspiration to me.
Hii!
I love to visit your blog every day to see all your beatiful card.
You make my day,Sue😊💐
