Hi there my crafty friends! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments for the die launch this past week, so glad to hear that you liked them! Back on our usual schedule now, but I have a bit of an extra for you today. I have two versions of this card and I will be giving them both away. So leave a comment on this blog post for the chance to win one of the versions of these cards. I started by letterpressing the background and that is the only difference between these. On one version I inked one side of the embossing folder and on the other version, I inked the opposite side of the folder. It is sort of nice to be able to comp-are and contrast the differences though I think. I used the
Let It Snow embossing folder and inked it with
Cloudy Blue Adirondack pigment ink. I inserted
coconut white card into the folder and ran it through the Grand Calibur to transfer the ink to the card. For the centre section, I cut the
Snowflake mini Striplet out of white card and backed it with a
sticky adhesive sheets. I coated the front with
Diamond Sprinkles to fill in all the exposed adhesive areas, then matted it with white and blue card, raising it with foam for dimension. For the focal element, I letterpressed the
Debossed snowflake die using
Cloudy blue ink as well. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
snowflake tag and attached it across the die cut in the centre of the card. Finally I finished with my usual mats and layers but added a frame of
white PVA glue dots all the way around. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. Which version do you prefer? The winners will be announced on Saturday's blog post.
Julia Watts has more shows on Hochanda today. Be sure to tune in at 9am, 12 noon, 4pm and 7pm to see all her great demos! All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteMelody, I'm so glad Francis us home, that must be a big relief for you. I hope he continues to improve now, you too.
Tracey, hope you are well after treatment.
Hugs to all.
Morning Sue, two gorgeous cards a very subtle difference but I think number two edges it for me.
ReplyDeleteNancyd xx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today, I think number 2 just nudges itself first for me. Just that subtle difference can make a card look so different. Thank you for all your launch posts, now my wishlist has grown extra long but maybe Santa will bring me some. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards thank you.
Thank you Sue for all you blogs over the weekend the cards and dies are Brilliant. Take care Kitty.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Thank you very much for your multiple posts showing us your new collection, a lot of Christmas lists will be being adjusted now I'm sure. Love both of today's cards, it's incredible to see what a difference it makes by letterpressing the opposite side of the EF. Sue XXX

Ii like both of these, but the second one is just that little bit different.
ReplyDeleteSpoiling us again, Sue, with two cards for the giveaway! Both so pretty and great to see the difference in using each side of the EF - really no preference here, both lovely and the colours so gentle.
ReplyDeleteTracy, so pleased chemo went well - you'll be much better off with the permanent line + is Ayr a nice place for craft shopping? lol

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. What a lovely surprise, straight after a fab die launch a double give away! I love both cards as they are packed with beautiful cut and embossed details. Thank you for showing us the two letterpress effects together, what difference they make! I personally find it impossible to pick a favourite as both are stunning.x
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning Sue. I would love to win either one of them.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBoth of these cards are gorgeous but if I had to choose then the second one just has the edge for me.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs.
Love the letterpress technique and as your folders emboss so well great results,lovely card Sue,thank you,Linda x
ReplyDeletetwo lovely cards with a very subtle difference
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue, an absolute stunner of a Christmas card! I also love the letter pressing technique, and you gave an invaluable tip to use pigment ink, as I have tried this technique in the past with other inks, which didn't transfer the ink completely, and bits were missing.
ReplyDeleteI have to say my favourite card out of the 2 you made is the one with white snowflakes and the cloudy blue background. Best Wishes, Linda in Glasgow
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou're just spoiling us now! Two exquisite cards, both equally stunning in my book. Would love to win either one of them. I too, have used the snowflake border quite a lot this year. Went a bit mad though and teamed with forest green (dark green) for a striking contrast, on a couple of them.
Hugs, Rose
ReplyDeleteSue Two beautiful cards today. the second just has the edge for me I think it's because I just love blue. Thank you once again for the last few days for your new die release you really have taken die cut crafting to a new level.

Two beautiful cards, but the second one just wins it for me. I wasn't able to comment on all the die launches, but I loved every one. I don't know how you come up with the ideas Sue! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWow! I am making this one today! it is absolutely beautiful, and luckily I have all the dies and embossing folder. So many favourites, but I think this is the best. xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteNow this is what I call a proper winter card, lovely snowflakes everywhere. Both versions are stupendous, hard to pick a favourite.
I do hope you are getting a bit of R&R following your new die launch. Many thanks for showing us yet more of your imagination, tips and techniques.
Sorry I have not commented much this week, was laid low after part eating a pie whose pastry must have had an egg wash on. I am allergic to egg products so have been extremely sick for a couple of days. I always make sure that what I eat does not contain them and somehow I missed this one.
Warm thoughts and healing prayers to Melody, Francis (so pleased to hear he is back home)& Tracy (try to focus on your strengths whilst undergoing the chemo).
Gurt big comfort blanket (((((hugs))))) to all in discomfort, pain or loss.
Love & hugs

Thanks Cheryl I hope u feel better soon x
DeleteGM Sue. Love them both but the blue background with white snowflakes is my preference but its a close run thing!

I love both of those - just gorgeous. Yesterday I made a card using the snowflake mini striplet cut together just as you've done. It made a lovely feature on the card. Your dies are all so versatile and useful Sue. Can't wait to play with some of the new ones!
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, Wow, Wow and triple Wow !! this card is magnificent, but my favourite side for the letterpressing is card number 2, the first one is very subtle, but the second is quite distinctive, I absolutely adore number 2.

Hi, Sue...I was half expecting today's blog to be a bit of an anticlimax after all the beautiful dies we've seen, but I couldn't have been more wrong! The two cards today are so lovely, so detailed. My letterpress attempts are getting better..(just a little) but yours are quite stunning! Nanny Jo xx

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards, just prefer No. 2 with the tiny snowflakes popping up out of the blue background...
I've really enjoyed the past five days, lots of beautiful new dies, the wish list has grown again...so, when is the next die launch?...lol
Izzy
Gorgeous cards Sue, both of them. I cant decide which I would choose but possibly the second one, or may be the first. LOL. I definitely want to attempt a scaled down version of the snowflake striplet and double sided sticky sheets, today if possible. Thank you, and thank you for the last glorious few days. Xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue,
ReplyDeleteThey are equally lovely would love either on display in my home.
Thank you for the last few days, I really enjoyed seeing your dies and the cards you have made from them. look forward to seeing many more.

Morning Sue, well the pleasure continues with two fabulous cards. I think I like the second one best as the blue background seems to highlight the focal element more. but both cards are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed the last five days seeing all your fabulous new dies, and am so looking forward to seeing the cards you will make with them. I now have to decide which dies to put on Santa's List.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWow two stunners again today, it's interesting to see how the background changes depending on which side you ink. I always worry I'm going to ink the wron side so don't try it - silly I know but now I can see it works either way I must give it a go and play! Thank you for sharing such beauties with us.
Love Diane G xxxx
Tracey sending you a hug xxxx
Melody lovely to hear your Frances is home again sending you both a hug xxx
Hi Sue- both cards are really exquisite and I do love the touch of blue but it's hard to choose which one I prefer. As soon as I saw the first one it reminded me of delicate icing on a wedding cake. Two people are going to be so happy to win one of these. Best wishes

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBoth versions are beautiful, it's quite surprising how different they look just by inking different sides of the folder. If I had to chose I'd pick number two it really makes the snowflakes pop.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing the two different looks you can achieve from the same embossing folder, love the card.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI think I like the second version of this card the best. Somehow the blue appears more pronounced and the whole card seems much warmer. This could be just the lighting making the difference.
Margaret xxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteOh my days, what a beautiful pair of cards! I think they are both wonderful but the second one has just won for me as I love the pal blue on the background. How generous of you to give both versions away today, two people are going to be very, very happy to receive these.

Good morning Sue, gorgeous cards today, I like the letter press technique but haven't been too successful with my attempts, maybe it was the choice of ink as you suggest. Out of your two cards I think the second just edges it for me. Wishing you and all your followers well, hugs, Theresa x
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards shows what can be creative using the same dies. The second one just wins my vote.

Theresa w xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove today's card, I prefer the second card with the blue on the surface rather than in the recessed snowflakes, both are stunning, so pretty,
Giving that 'cold and frosty' feel to the cards.
I am probably one if the few that hasn't decided on a Christmas card theme yet, I need to get my thinking cap on, I had decided I quite like the blue and white theme, I made a 'periwinkle' blue and white shaker card a couple of weeks ago on my blog and loved the colour combination for Christmas cards so I may well go for that.
The strong winds seemed to have died down a little today thankfully, I hope that all of you stayed safe and nobody suffered any damage!
Have a good day everyone,
Hugs

Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeletelucky us! Following on from the fabulous release we have a bonus twofer and they are both beautiful. Definitely something to try for those of us with Christmas cards still to make. What a difference using the other side of the EL makes.
Two lucky people this week - good luck !

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes from a wet and windy Ochil Hills,
ReplyDeleteOh Sue i love both cards but i actually think that i like the debossed snowflakes with their hint of the blue colour in them. It matches so nicely with the blue of the card that you have picked to mat and layer with. The embossed snowflake card is just as beautiful but i love how you have got just the hint of colour in the first design. I'm glad that you had a good response to your beautiful new collection as there isn't one die in the new lot that i don't need. You had ideas going around my head like nothing on earth when i uncovered each new set, but who knows my OH might just give me some money at Christmas so that i can treat myself to much needed dies( and if you could see my place you would understand why i have not a cats chance of getting it). Oh well a girl can dream but i will get those dreams to become a reality some time. I hope you are recovering from your marathon postings and the making up of all your cards that you made to show of the dies. It must be really hard to decide upon which card you have made, as i presume there is more than one, to show each die set of to its full advantage and so that we can see what is possible with them as they some of them you don't get the full picture until you see them made up. Thank you Sue for all your hard work,
love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Fabulous card, I really enjoyed your new die launch, something for everyone, love all the finishing touches.x
ReplyDeleteMorning all.
ReplyDeleteSue, you are such a star. I love both of today's cards, just right up my street and yes like so many others the second just edges it for me too :)
Melody and Molly so glad to hear Francis/Grandad is home. I wish him all the best on his mission to build himself up.
Tracey, I am glad you got your treatment and that once the line is in it will be easier next time. I hope the after effects are not too awful.
Laine, I love your posts. I hope you are starting to feel better.
Last night I went to a craft group and we made Christmas wreaths. Why do I never stick to what I plan ? So I am not happy with it because it's not how I pictured it.
Oh well, I still need to put a bow on it so it will be different again. Something else I have been working on is not going as hoped so think that will end up in the bin.
I really need to create something I am happy with to help my mood.
Going to find my pad so I can keep track of posts on here, my brain cells don't work together!
Wishing good things to all xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
How lucky are we? After your new die release this week we now find two more gorgeous cards on your blog. Even more lucky to have the chance to win one. So thank you.
I love both of them, but I think the second one jumps out to me more.

No way could I choose which card I prefer, I love both of them. Although having said that, maybe the second card is my favourite? Decisions, decisions! They are both beautiful cards, and using my favourite colours too. :)

Two very lovely cards. Both as lovely as the other. Cannot split them.
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful cards, Sue, I think the second one is my fave, but not quite sure why. Anyway, I love both, all except the sentiment - no snow here please, at least until after Christmas. Ireland is not equipped to deal with much snow, and the last time it was bad, I was marooned in my house for 11 days because two hills weren't gritted to allow me to get my car to the top of them. Ruined our Christmas lunch, we had it on 11th January instead, and it wasnt quite the same!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo very gorgeous cards. I am sure I remember you demoing them a while ago and thought, at the time, how lovely they were. Congratulations on your latest launch, they are all lovely.

They are both so good. I usually like monochrome, but I like the way the snowflakes pop on the background of the coloured card. Basically I love em both.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards! I love them both, but the blue background pops out to me a little more.

I love this technique and find it really makes you appreciate the beauty of the embossing folders. Both cards are beautiful...I think my fav is the one with more blue in the background....Jan D., Florida, USA

Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, sorry late today only my broadband has only just come back on, I think it must have been the high winds and storms that knocked it out, had nothing since last night.
ReplyDeleteAnyway I see two beautifully stunning cards today which are adorable, I really love the dies you have used, they definitely are a winner for me.
I know everyone would like to own a 'Sue Wilson' signed original, so I will wish everyone good luck in the draw.
Now to go and check out my other blogs to comment on and then watch a bit of Julia.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

A very pretty card Sue, lovely wintery colours. I have just been playing with some of these dies myself, but as usual, your cards look so much better than mine. However, with your inspiration this has encouraged me to have another go.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today and it is lovely to see a card both ways - if you know what I mean! My favourite is the second one but I think both are really lovely. Blue being more prominent in the 2nd one does it for me I think!
Just watched Julia on Hochanda! Really great programme and it was lovely to learn about the Platinum Machine . Julia covered just about everything and has given me lots to think about. It was so helpful.
Take care everyone in this awful weather!
Take care Tracey - you will get there! I'm sure you will.
Love to all,
Myra xxx
Just love the delicate colours of this card today. Anyone would prevlidged to win one of your beauties.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, absolutely stunning cards yet again and I think I have everything to try to recreate these cards but I doubt they will be anywhere near as excellent as yours
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day

I love the snowflake dies! Beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeletewow these cards are gorgeous. I agree, it is good to see the difference. These are so crisp, I love them. Really must have a go at letter-pressing.
Love DJay xx
Good Afternoon Sue & All the Wilsonettes! I hope you are all well & not suffering too much with these dreadful storms? We are not too bad, here in Pembrokeshire, but BAD ENOUGH! HEHE! My Mother & I have both had this awful flu that's going around & I can honestly say that it's knocked me completely & I NEVER give in to colds, normally! Still, I'm getting better slowly, although my Mum is still poorly!I love the card you've done today, Sue, it looks really crisp & Wintry! I would love to be in with a chance of winning something like that! I should really be getting on with my Christmas cards but I haven't had the 'get up & go' to get motivated! Time to start, me thinks! Best wishes to you all! From, Mary Blight XXX
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous card Sue......L Rosie. xxxxxx

Good morning Sue. Just love both cards today. It is so nice to see the difference. Hard to choose which one I like best as they are both awesome. Thanks for sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteYour snowflake die, embossing folder and wording are so unique! They make the most wonderful card together. Love how you showed the embossing folder using both sides. My preference is the pushed up side up, but both are great. This one is in definite competition with your other delicate snowflake embossing folder.

Both of these are absolutely magical!! LOVELOVELOVE them both! Would be pleased as punch to win either one of them! Thanks for the chance to!
