Framed and Adorned
Hi bloggers! Another way to use the adornment dies in today's video. They look great when used on the inside of frames, don't you think!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card Sue. Pure elegance Daily hugs to Tracey, Melody and Francis, and to all who are not well. Sad to see the comment numbers have dropped again now that the launch draw has ended. Have a good day everyone
Hi Sue Lovely card, I am finishing the cards that need posting today so might give frames ago for the hand delivered ones Happy crafting Love and hugs to all Love Tina x x x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well they certainly do look nice adorned as a frame edging, and the pierced dies create the most wonderful frames, I think I can honestly say that the pierced squares are my most used dies ever, they are amazing.
Will watch video when hubby gets up.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue, Really effective use of the adornment dies behind the frame and I love the colours. I've had to conceed and put all my dies into storage folders now onto magnetic sheets. I've noticed that numbers have dwindled too - shame..... I love the surprise when you open the blog everyday and it only takes a minute to leave a nice comment. Anne M xx
Good morning Sue, Absolutely stunning card, your dies just mix & match beautifully to give you outstanding results. You are a very clever lady. Yvonne xx
Hi Sue. Stunning card, will save the video for an after work treat. I agree with June about your pierced squares - they're my most used die too! Hugs to all. Sue XXX
Beautifully elegant card today, Sue, and an excellent video as always. Thank you. Used the square pierced nobles yesterday, combined with others, to make a huge embossed frame and it was fab (excuse lack of modesty), it's all in the dies! Wouldn't be without the noble range. Burning house, saving, comes to mind. After the cats, of course!! Re yesterday's card, also bought the lattice window die (well, do have two wedding cards coming up!) and also looked at Becky's site - lovely to see you featured so hope will lead to newbies commenting! Also it's an interesting site so double whammy. Tracy - so sorry you're having a tough time just gotta hang on in there, it'll get better. Hope soon. Hugs to all, poorly or just needing one.
Hi Sue Lovely card. These pierced edge square dies are fabulous. I treated myself to both sets and can now make any size frame I want! Fabulous! Thanks for sharing. Have a great day everyone. Hugs.
Hello Sue and all Very striking colours and fabulous dies and embossed background. I spent all day today with a friend making cards with your dies Sue and we had the best time. so proud of our results too, yes we lack modesty too 'P' in Wales ! Enjoyed your video as always, always something to learn Muriel x
Good morning Sue Beautiful card and brilliant video showing us how easy it is to achieve similar, the video is, as usual, full if hints and ideas Thank You! I'm really enjoying combining the different sizes of the Noble dies it makes matting and layering very easy. Hugs x Heather T
A lovely card which showcases how all your dies, stamps and embossing folders work so well together - it almost doesn't matter which dies or folders you use, it all marries up beautifully and your video tutorials are great for beginners and seasoned crafters too...
Good Morning Sue I like the way you have arranged your dies and the video has explained eveything so well. Just a short comment as I am out early today! Lesley S x
Another great ways to use our dies. Really Sue, I don't know how you keep coming up with all your different ideas! I'm grateful that you are so willing to share them with us. Thank you. Have a great day everybody Hugs Sylvia xx
Another beautiful card, I loved yesterday's card so much ( as it featured my 2 favourite dies from this launch ) I gave in and ordered them ! I was trying so hard to be good with Christmas coming up, but then decided I needed to buy myself a present too. Anne xo
Morning Sue, A gorgeous card, love the design and colours you have used. Just wish I could afford to buy all the dies that I NEED. Love the pierced squares use them all of the time, hope Santa will bring me the rectangles. Will watch video later. Lydia X

Well, put my PC on rather than my wee tablet this morning and spent the last 15 minutes drooling over the last 3 days cards on the "big" screen. So, I say again, the die's and how you use them are beautiful. Love the classy look of today's card. Thanks.

Good Morning Sue My server was down till 11.30 so couldn't comment...it was like losing the use of my hands to be without it! I have become so dependent on my emails etc its frightening! Pretty card today and I agree about the Nobles so useful Sue! thank goodness you designed them..now we need Circles and Ovals please? Take care Love Marg
Lovely card, nice to see something different with the flourishes inside the frame, something I would not have thought of without your prompt. I agree with the comments above that it is so handy to have the video to watch to see how you made the card it is so much easier to follow than written instructions and it is nice to see you on the screen when you are not on TV. I have had a wonderful Sue Wilson fix this morning as I spent another hour watching a load of other videos too.
Such a classic card, I love the use of the adornment and the video is so easy to follow. Thanks Sue and hope you are having a great time in Florida. Best wishes to all jxxx
I always learn something from your videos...thank you. Great card...the details are beautiful and I always love your color contrasts.
Ever wonder how many miles of tape you've used? LOL The handle on my die cutting machine broke off the other day and I started wondering how many miles of cardstock I've cranked through that machine over the years. Thankfully (appropriate it's the week of Thanksgiving holiday), hubby was able to reattach it for me...I'm praying it holds up through the holidays.
Hi Sue - love the navy with white on today's card as it is so elegant. A beautiful card and the video is so straightforward in explaining how you use the square dies. Thank you so much, best wishes YvonneMayxx
Sue, beautiful card, yes I love the adornments used inside a frame and love the crisp colours. Wheely, yes please to the ramp website details. Maybe you could contact me on Facebook as could any others who help make this site so wonderful apart from our goddess Sue :) Norah, Godspeed to your knitting and us I know too that feeling of being permanently broke :( Wow Molly, what a fantastic birthday present! Lucky you, you sound such a lovely girl though so well deserved. Yvonne, I hope your boy's are still looking after you. Laine, I hope your wounds are behaving today and that you feel much better. Alas I cannot resort to alcohol because of all the meds I am on :( Jan, have a wonderful time with the family. Tracy, I am glad you are feeling a bit brighter. Muriel, isn't it lovely to craft with friends. Still no improvement with me, now I am in a disgusting state as I am not able to wash so glad none of you can see or smell me. I am going to alter my Amazon wish list to reflect my need for Sue dies. Wishing good things to all xxx
Awww Lorraine. U sound as tho u need a pick me up. I know what it's like when u can't do things for urself it's not much fun but it does get better. Go treat urself to a wee sue Wilson die. Some of them are only £6 I don't feel so bad when I buy one of those I've paid that out for a simple craft magazine now I don't bother I'd rather build my sue die collection lol xx
Hi Sue, A really beautiful card, I love the way that you have used the adornment dies and also the elegant frame. I love the way that you give us little spaces for pearls on your die cuts, it really adds a gorgeous finish. Thanks for sharing, Heather Treble
Hello Sue, Today's card is just so beautiful and elegant, I love the colour combination, the Dark Blue just makes the White stand out. Thank you for bringing such a beautiful card to your blog. Sending love and hugs, Brenda XXX
Hi Sue Beautiful card, love how the adornment dies enrich the noble frame and thanks for the great video also. Such a shame the comment numbers have dropped after your giveaways, it only takes a moment to leave one! Tracy glad you're feeling a little better
Your Adornment dies are named appropiately for their use in card making. Stunning card with your touch. Thanks for the video. Your videos are always so helpful to me.
Hi Sue, Lovely card and great video as ever. Just acquired the circle mini striplets today and it's gorgeous! Tracy glad you're feeling better today. Love and hugs to all especially Melody, Francis ,TOB and anyone feeling down, poorly or having treatment. Love Alison xxx
Hi Sue Beautiful card & love everything about it. Looks so pretty with the navy & white colours & loving the inside frame elements which are so delicate & pretty. Just watched your video for this & may just have to go back for another viewing as it's so gorgeous.
Hello Sue, Brilliant video thank you for the tips re: cutting the apetures. Gorgeous card, love the overall effect you have achieved, and that blue just makes it pop. Fabulous.
Hi Sue, gorgeous gorgeous card today. Beautiful dies and love the blue. Have yet to watch the video though.... xx Sending love and hugs to you, your mom and family xx Sending love and hugs to all our Wilsonettes who are in need too. To Molly, Melody, Francis xx Tracy xx Lorraine xx xx Love Karen xx
Your cards of late have been utterly breathtaking and today's example is no exception. I am lusting after the newer dies in a major way, so much so that I am sorely tempted to put Christmas off for this year and spend all that cash on dies instead...common sense has prevailed thus far but for how long who can tell! I would ask you to do less enticing examples Sue but that would be like asking the sun not to set, a complete non starter:-) I love today's card, I really need the pierced squares and the scalloped trellis adornment elevates this card way beyond the ordinary- I really like the French navy card, it's a softer alternative to the black. I'm watching John on Hochanda selling a multi buy of some of the dies you have recently used and I am sorely tempted because of the easy pay-I have just bought the Platinum and a Bose sound system for my Mums Christmas on easy pay so I have to be careful not to over extend myself otherwise it'll be a visit to a food bank for Christmas rather than the usual turkey I'm afraid. Patience is a virtue that I clearly don't possess, I want like yesterday so I will have to suppress my inner child and embrace my cool, sensible adult head instead:-( Had an interesting afternoon having my face mapped with ultra violet light to highlight the sun damage, ageing process and overall skin quality. I had fears for the worst since I abused sunbeds for ten years...hence the skin cancer...and being 43, you expect the ravages of time to show. The verdict was surprising, I had below average fine lines, little sun damage , normal pores and a little dryness, but my Mums image looked like a death mask:-) She is 71 though, but she only uses carex soap and water on her face and doesn't use an SPF so her sun damage was off the scale, it's a lesson to us all and she has vowed to change her ways. I have bought her high end products for years trying to get her to use them but she says she doesn't have the time-she finds the time to smoke 20+ ciggies a day though!?!? Getting my stitches out tomorrow, not looking forward to it though since the infection still hasn't cleared- I've got a high pain threshold but I fear it's going to be rather uncomfortable:-( On a positive note though, I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better Tracy, your fighting spirit is a lesson to us all, keep positive honey! Lorraine F, wish I could make you feel better too, I'll health can be a strain mentally as well as physically- I find it helpful to focus on what I can do rather than what I find difficult, plus there is always someone having to contend with more hardship sadly and it makes me grateful for what I have. Beth, I do hope that you're ok, it's not like you to go so long without commenting. Sending hugsxxxx Hugs to anyone suffering physically or mentally at the moment, special hugs to Yvonne, Wheely Bad, Rebecca, Jan, Theresa , Maria, TOB, melody and little Mollyxxx
Hello Sue, I'm late again! One of these days I will post so early you will faint! You will be joined by a lot of my friends!!! Today's card is lovely and thank you for the tips on the video for apertures! Tracy - glad you feel better today! Sending lots of love to all those who are going through really tough times. Love and thanks to you Sue, Myra xxx
Theresa says Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Lovely card sue x cannot wait to watch the video they are a real treat for me and really informative x Missing all the wilsonettes as am away for a couple of days so really hope my comments are flying through cyberspace somehow and reaching their destination ok x not done this from my mobile before x hope you are all well and will catch up on my return x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
Yet another very classy card. I think the depth you put into has become your new signature (from big bow with stick pins). Just gorgeous! Big hug Julie E
A beautiful cards. Glad my configurations collection includes this one. Its so pretty. Lattice strip next!
Tracy, so glad today was a little better. Hope you continue on the up. I don't buy magazines anymore either when 6 quid will buy one of those lovely little dies! Hugs x
Lorraine F, I will get those details to you on Facebook in next day or two, last of my energy today used to comment! I'm not at all prolific on Facebook but it's good in these situations. Possibly too much detail but if it helps I use bed bath wipes a lot as showering is difficult at best of times... cheap and same website I shall give you on FB! Hope u feel better soon, Hugs x
Laine, I shall have it all crossed for you. Maybe having stitches out they can clean/ drain the infection better and help clear it? I really hope so. Hugs x
Theresa TOB, hope surgery went well and you're not in too much post op pain, hugs x
Beth B, hope you're ok, Lancs Steph, hope you're ok too. Hugs to you both and anyone else unable to comment. x
Melody, Francis & Molly, hugs x
Yvonne, hope MIL ok and you're not getting worn out, hugs x
Hugs to all of you with extra if you need them, have a great day on Wednesday,
Hi Sue, sorry to be so late but the day has just got away from me. Lovely card, very clean and crisp looking. I will watch the video tomorrow to see how you have woven your magic. No time to read all the comments as I have an early start in the morning but will catch up sometime tomorrow. Hope I haven't missed anything important. Frances
Hello, beautiful card Sue as always. I absolutely love your cards but as you know in Canada and in the US, we tend to make smaller cards. I had previously bought the Madison dies of the New York collection only to find out that they are too large for our smaller cards. I was so excited to find out that there were smaller dies coming out in November. I have spent the last two days trying to figure out which of the dies I could use on a 6 X 6 which is what I usually make. Even though some of the new dies are called Petite and Mini, they are still large, a mini striplet for example is 5 1/4 inches on a 6 inch card, it would use up the whole card front. Will you be doing smaller dies that can be used on 6 x 6 inch card fronts or on 4 x 5.5 inch card fronts or will we forever be cutting the dies down to size? I'm just wondering if there will be something more proportionate for the smaller cards coming out in the future? I hate to think that I would have to purchase the dies and cut them all back to suite my smaller cards, I'd be paying for part of the dies I couldn't use. I just totaled the amount for one of your cards and for me to do "Shaped Background Technique" it would cost me $138 in dies and embossing folder, 10% surcharge being charged to Canadian because of our low dollar and shipping. A lot of money when you think of it in those terms. Shall I wait for more mini or petite dies or find something else. Don't get me wrong Sue I love the cards you make and I love your videos but if I can't use all of the die, I can't justify the cost. If I choose to go to the larger card size, how are they made, do they have a hinge on top and how do you get envelopes that size?
I didn't get to comment yesterday as my car is broken! I still wanted to say how beautiful this card is. I like the way you have done the extra layering and used the embossing folder. I had to go back and read you directions as the embossed images from the embossing folder are so striking and crisp! Thank you again!
Beautiful card Sue. Pure elegance
ReplyDeleteDaily hugs to Tracey, Melody and Francis, and to all who are not well.
Sad to see the comment numbers have dropped again now that the launch draw has ended.

ReplyDeleteI always learn something from your videos...thank you. Great card...the details are beautiful and I always love your color contrasts.
ReplyDeleteEver wonder how many miles of tape you've used? LOL The handle on my die cutting machine broke off the other day and I started wondering how many miles of cardstock I've cranked through that machine over the years. Thankfully (appropriate it's the week of Thanksgiving holiday), hubby was able to reattach it for me...I'm praying it holds up through the holidays.

Hi Sue - love the navy with white on today's card as it is so elegant. A beautiful card and the video is so straightforward in explaining how you use the square dies. Thank you so much, best wishes

Sue, beautiful card, yes I love the adornments used inside a frame and love the crisp colours.
ReplyDeleteWheely, yes please to the ramp website details. Maybe you could contact me on Facebook as could any others who help make this site so wonderful apart from our goddess Sue :)
Norah, Godspeed to your knitting and us I know too that feeling of being permanently broke :(
Wow Molly, what a fantastic birthday present! Lucky you, you sound such a lovely girl though so well deserved.
Yvonne, I hope your boy's are still looking after you.
Laine, I hope your wounds are behaving today and that you feel much better. Alas I cannot resort to alcohol because of all the meds I am on :(
Jan, have a wonderful time with the family.
Tracy, I am glad you are feeling a bit brighter.
Muriel, isn't it lovely to craft with friends.
Still no improvement with me, now I am in a disgusting state as I am not able to wash so glad none of you can see or smell me. I am going to alter my Amazon wish list to reflect my need for Sue dies.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Awww Lorraine. U sound as tho u need a pick me up. I know what it's like when u can't do things for urself it's not much fun but it does get better. Go treat urself to a wee sue Wilson die. Some of them are only £6 I don't feel so bad when I buy one of those I've paid that out for a simple craft magazine now I don't bother I'd rather build my sue die collection lol xx

Good evening Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteYour cards of late have been utterly breathtaking and today's example is no exception. I am lusting after the newer dies in a major way, so much so that I am sorely tempted to put Christmas off for this year and spend all that cash on dies instead...common sense has prevailed thus far but for how long who can tell! I would ask you to do less enticing examples Sue but that would be like asking the sun not to set, a complete non starter:-) I love today's card, I really need the pierced squares and the scalloped trellis adornment elevates this card way beyond the ordinary- I really like the French navy card, it's a softer alternative to the black.
I'm watching John on Hochanda selling a multi buy of some of the dies you have recently used and I am sorely tempted because of the easy pay-I have just bought the Platinum and a Bose sound system for my Mums Christmas on easy pay so I have to be careful not to over extend myself otherwise it'll be a visit to a food bank for Christmas rather than the usual turkey I'm afraid. Patience is a virtue that I clearly don't possess, I want like yesterday so I will have to suppress my inner child and embrace my cool, sensible adult head instead:-(
Had an interesting afternoon having my face mapped with ultra violet light to highlight the sun damage, ageing process and overall skin quality. I had fears for the worst since I abused sunbeds for ten years...hence the skin cancer...and being 43, you expect the ravages of time to show. The verdict was surprising, I had below average fine lines, little sun damage , normal pores and a little dryness, but my Mums image looked like a death mask:-) She is 71 though, but she only uses carex soap and water on her face and doesn't use an SPF so her sun damage was off the scale, it's a lesson to us all and she has vowed to change her ways. I have bought her high end products for years trying to get her to use them but she says she doesn't have the time-she finds the time to smoke 20+ ciggies a day though!?!?
Getting my stitches out tomorrow, not looking forward to it though since the infection still hasn't cleared- I've got a high pain threshold but I fear it's going to be rather uncomfortable:-(
On a positive note though, I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling better Tracy, your fighting spirit is a lesson to us all, keep positive honey!
Lorraine F, wish I could make you feel better too, I'll health can be a strain mentally as well as physically- I find it helpful to focus on what I can do rather than what I find difficult, plus there is always someone having to contend with more hardship sadly and it makes me grateful for what I have.
Beth, I do hope that you're ok, it's not like you to go so long without commenting. Sending hugsxxxx
Hugs to anyone suffering physically or mentally at the moment, special hugs to Yvonne, Wheely Bad, Rebecca, Jan, Theresa , Maria, TOB, melody and little Mollyxxx

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful cards. Glad my configurations collection includes this one. Its so pretty. Lattice strip next!
Tracy, so glad today was a little better. Hope you continue on the up. I don't buy magazines anymore either when 6 quid will buy one of those lovely little dies! Hugs x
Lorraine F, I will get those details to you on Facebook in next day or two, last of my energy today used to comment! I'm not at all prolific on Facebook but it's good in these situations. Possibly too much detail but if it helps I use bed bath wipes a lot as showering is difficult at best of times... cheap and same website I shall give you on FB! Hope u feel better soon, Hugs x
Laine, I shall have it all crossed for you. Maybe having stitches out they can clean/ drain the infection better and help clear it? I really hope so. Hugs x
Theresa TOB, hope surgery went well and you're not in too much post op pain, hugs x
Beth B, hope you're ok, Lancs Steph, hope you're ok too. Hugs to you both and anyone else unable to comment. x
Melody, Francis & Molly, hugs x
Yvonne, hope MIL ok and you're not getting worn out, hugs x
Hugs to all of you with extra if you need them, have a great day on Wednesday,

Hi Sue, sorry to be so late but the day has just got away from me. Lovely card, very clean and crisp looking. I will watch the video tomorrow to see how you have woven your magic. No time to read all the comments as I have an early start in the morning but will catch up sometime tomorrow. Hope I haven't missed anything important.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,really lovely card the frame you have made looks great. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful card Sue as always. I absolutely love your cards but as you know in Canada and in the US, we tend to make smaller cards. I had previously bought the Madison dies of the New York collection only to find out that they are too large for our smaller cards. I was so excited to find out that there were smaller dies coming out in November. I have spent the last two days trying to figure out which of the dies I could use on a 6 X 6 which is what I usually make. Even though some of the new dies are called Petite and Mini, they are still large, a mini striplet for example is 5 1/4 inches on a 6 inch card, it would use up the whole card front. Will you be doing smaller dies that can be used on 6 x 6 inch card fronts or on 4 x 5.5 inch card fronts or will we forever be cutting the dies down to size? I'm just wondering if there will be something more proportionate for the smaller cards coming out in the future? I hate to think that I would have to purchase the dies and cut them all back to suite my smaller cards, I'd be paying for part of the dies I couldn't use. I just totaled the amount for one of your cards and for me to do "Shaped Background Technique" it would cost me $138 in dies and embossing folder, 10% surcharge being charged to Canadian because of our low dollar and shipping. A lot of money when you think of it in those terms. Shall I wait for more mini or petite dies or find something else. Don't get me wrong Sue I love the cards you make and I love your videos but if I can't use all of the die, I can't justify the cost. If I choose to go to the larger card size, how are they made, do they have a hinge on top and how do you get envelopes that size?

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteSimple elegance! Lovely.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful elegant card, love the embossing folder and the new dies and the sentiment you used is one of my favourite.
Di B. x
Lovely card. Though I don't often use black on my cards, navy and white is one of my favourite colour combinations.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
I didn't get to comment yesterday as my car is broken! I still wanted to say how beautiful this card is. I like the way you have done the extra layering and used the embossing folder. I had to go back and read you directions as the embossed images from the embossing folder are so striking and crisp! Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteI like this framed look on this card, it's a little different
