Good Sunday morning all! I began this card by cutting two
Canadian Borders in white and gluing them to the sides of another piece of coconut white card. I cut the
Classic Adorned Design Noble in white then backed it with
Wisteria card and attached it to the centre of the card between my borders. I cut two of the
Vancouver die in white and backed them in white. I trimmed away a small portion on both then put the two larger pieces back together to form a single die and attached it horizontally across my background. I cut the
Montreal die in white and backed it with wisteria card then cut the centre out to create a frame. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the centre of the
Montreal die. I inked it with
Shaded Lilac before removing it from the die then seated the frame over the top of it. I attached it in the centre of the card. I added white pearls as accents then added my final mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.
There isn't a Comment Game this week because we are closed at Creative Expressions until after the New Year, (no way to send out the prizes) but we will take it back up in the New Year!

Good morning Sue
Absolutely gorgeous card this morning it's brightened up a dull and wet day for me. I must be having a senior moment because when I pinned today's card there were a load of Christmas cards there I hadn't pinned??? I don't know how that happened I hope it's because they have only just been put on and not another senior moment lol!

Thank you for the two cards shown yesterday and today. I didn't get to visit the blog yesterday as too busy, but with good things :)
I was lucky enough to be given 3 sets of your dies for Christmas and I am promised more for my birthday. I also got six colour clouds which is fab. I am looking forward to playing with them all when things calm down.
Today my brother and his family are joining us for Turkey soup so I need to get on and finish that.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Another gorgeous card Sue. I think wisteria is my favourite colour. Am going to play with my new platinum today and the Portugese dies my sister gave me too. Hope you all have a good day. Looking forward to your shows on Hochanda. Xx
Beautiful card Sue.
Good Morning Sue, what a beautiful card I love the layers of die cuts they really make it look so pretty. Take care hugs Shirleyxxxxx
Hi Sue
Love today's card and all the inspirational card you've shown us over the Christmas period. I especially liked the Seasons Greetings and the let it snow. Mind you I wish we could get the wavy mask. Can't buy it anywhere at the moment. I wonder if CE will be doing another run of it. Wishing you all good health for 2016.
Hi Sue
Here's hoping you had a lovely Xmas .
I love today's card , your dies are so beautiful .

Stunning card Sue very pretty
Anne
Very pretty card Sue, it just goes to show that you don't always have to add lots of flowers to make a stunning card (although I will always like to have flowers sometimes)
Lisbeth
Good Morning, Sue,
A beautiful card and wonderful colours chosen. I do want to get the Canadian set soon as they will remind me of my dad, who was born in Vancouver :).
Well, my Christmas was spend alone, apart from my furry family of two and sad muppet that I am I was in bed by 6:30 and slept right round until 11:30 boxing day. I guess I could blame the cider but as I don't drink alcohol it was alco-free so shouldn't have made me so maudlin. Today I'm looking at the tree and telling myself that it should stay up until after January 1st.
I do have a project to get stuck into in the craft room later today...I'm going to try and fix my home-made paper storage unit that looks ready to collapse any minute lol. I'll see just how well I stuck it together once I make a start on it. I'm saving up to get an MDF unit in the new year so mine doesn't have to stay in once piece for too much longer.
Hands up who is sick of turkey yet...Before she moved to the other side of the country, my sister bought me a pre-Christmas gift of a turkey leg from Morrisons. She knew there was no way I would buy a turkey just for myself and I love the dark meat so a crown wasn't on the cards. The great thing about the leg is that it was divided into thigh and mega drumstick, so I only had to cook one part so...no turkey for days on end.
I'm looking forward to all the posts through 2016 and hope to learn even more new techniques.
Have a wonderful day, everyone.
Bejay xx
Afternoon Sue and all wilsonettes, a beautiful card, love it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, a very pretty card today and the beautiful wisteria card is certainly earning its keep.
It seems as though everyone has had a good Christmas and now we have the New Year to look forward to with Sue on the TV!
After days of seemingly never-ending rain today dawned dry and sunny but I feel so sorry for all the people in Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cumbria. I hope none of our Wilsonettes are affected.
Frances
Lovely card. Enjoy your holiday break. Happy New Year! Jan D., Florida, USA
Very pretty, that's a lovely sentiment.
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a gorgeous card Sue and with just the hint of wisteria on it here and there makes it a lovely soft elegent card. Again i don't have these dies except the noble die but i have no doubt that i can make something the same but different from my stash of beautiful dies. Sue, the Wilsonettes that come on your blog regularly each day and sometimes we can't as you know because of how we are at the time, but we come because we get inspired by the beauty that you create and the inspiration that you give us in return through your talent, not so that we can win a prize each week although the kindness in that is extrordinary, but it is because of you, your talent and you friendship so please don't think any more about there being no comment game prize because we come because of you. I hope that you had a lovely Christmas flower and i have my dvd thingy all set to record you on New Years day for more inspiration.
I hope that all the lovely Wilsonettes had a lovely Christmas with my thoughts, prayers and hugs going out to our Wilsonettes that are struggling for one reason or another, i can only hope that 2016 will be a better year for you and for all of us that have been through the year of hell and back.
Love and crafty hugs

Hello Sue,

Great card. For me it would make a lovely get well card as it is very calm and soothing. Enjoy your Sunday.
Very pretty card Sue, I do enjoy the Canadian dies they are so versatile and stunning if you use them on their own!
Lovely card Sue. I enjoyed looking at the rest of the Christmas cards. I pinned a few that I found particularly inspiring.
My family spoiled me with Christmas gifts this year. I had 12 sets of dies. Can't wait to play with them.

Hi sue and crafty crew.
Smashing card with just s nice hint of colour.
Well a very happy person I am today with a trip with my hubby to the craft shop at braehead in Glasgow much to his delight lol. Wasn't long as I had my list of yeah u guessed it sue Wilson dies. I did buy a couple of different ones but I love sues the best.
Decided to wait and get the platinum machine another time. After all my calibur is still working away. Lol
Love and hugs to all xx
A lovely card. The wisteria card is such a beautiful and gentle colour, must add that to my ever expanding stash.
The first of my Christmas present tokens was waiting for me when I got home this afternoon so I now need to work out which dies are priorities for me to get. Decisions, decisions although I think more of the Canadian ones may be on the cards......... please excuse the awful pun!!!!
Teresa

Beautiful card Sue. So love white.
love Val in Spain x
Seasons greetings lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a beautiful card utilising some of your previous collections, I really appreciate the fact that you mix it up by incorporating a wide variety of dies so that there will always be some element that we can find in our collections- great to be reminded of the beauty and versatility of your Canadian collection, it inspires me to dig it out of semi retirement....all those Christmas cards have demoted my non festive dies recently! The wisteria cardstock is a refreshingly soft and Springlike shade to remind us of the brighter, drier(fingers crossed!) days ahead.
Can I just take this opportunity to Thankyou for all of your tireless hardwork and dedication to your craft...no pun intended....we are the lucky beneficiaries of your generosity and for that I will be eternally grateful. Wishing you health and happiness in the coming year Sue, you so richly deserve them in abundance.
I'm afraid that I have been absent from the blog these past few weeks, since my uncle passed away, and I have to admit that I have missed the daily ritual of reading the comments and adding my own. Unfortunately family commitments have necessitated my absence, not to mention the inevitable chaos created by the recent festivities. I sincerely hope that everyone has had an enjoyable time with family, friends and furry babies, and that Santa brought you a multitude of Sue goodies:-)...I was obviously on the naughty list this year because my request for the entire new release was ignored:-(, Nevermind, I'll just have to save the pennies in the coming months instead.
Big hugs to all my blog buddies, I've missed you loads and hope you have been well, particularly Yvonne, Beth, Wheely Bad+Billy, Tracy, Saba,Myra,Lorraine F, Linda, Rebecca, Jan, Maria and anyone else my booze addled brain has neglected to mention:-)
It's great to be backxxxx
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxx
Thankyou Sue, a very pretty card

Hi Sue
This is such a pretty card with that touch of Wisteria card peeping through. It is also great to see you using some of my favourite dies from your previous collections.
Looking forward to seeing you on our screens this week.
Lesley S x
Hi Sue,
Stunning. Love it.
Much love,
Shirley T.
Hi Sue
Absolutely beautiful, the Canadian dies have been on the list for a little while as they are SO pretty and this card is too. Just Stunning, the colours are so elegant.
Norah, yes, 2015 has not been kind for so many here. Our crafting, this blog and Sue's generosity in what she shares with us every day is often that rope that we hold on to to pull us through. I figure a lot of people on this blog are owed some good news so 2016, bring it on! P.S hope your children are doing well, hugs xxx
Laine, I was so happy to see your post. I knew you had a lot to contend with before the festive insanities. Hope you're healing and feeling better, hugs and Billy sends wags and woofs a plenty! xxx
Bejay, I had a sleep like that boxing day! Hugs to you and your furry friends xxx
Tracy, nice to see you have him well trained!!! Hugs and hope you're feeling ok xxx
Melody and family, hugs xxx
Bedrest yesterday, my mum, her partner, my stepdad and my brothers with the eldest boys fiancee visited today. Billy didn't know who to get fuss from first! Had a little sleep this evening and once I'm done here I'll get a shattered Billy dog ready for bed. At the minute he's upside down doing that upside down dog face smile, legs akimbo with his front paws tucked up on his chest all while laying squashed on his chair... yes, it's that mix of cute and ridiculous only our pets can achieve!
Seeing Dad, stepmum and my sisters and the eldest girls boyfriend tomorrow tea time. Always nice to see them but my stepmums father recently passed away so it's doubly important I be there for them. Long, long lay in tomorrow as I must not fall asleep in the resturant!
Big hugs to all of you, plenty extra to be had so help yourself if you need to. Billy sends wags, woofs and paw hugs to his special friends- those with 2 legs, 4 legs and those with wings! Sending happy thoughts and crafty mojo to you all,
T x
Such a pretty card with so many little details. Love the wisteria colour card but I've got so much card that I need to use before I buy any more. I need a bigger craft room!
Had my first cuddle with my three-month-old great-niece today at a family gathering.
Take care everyone.
Incredibly lovely! I am always inspired by your beautiful creations and this card is a fabulous example of your incredible talents. Merry Christmas!
