ReplyDeleteNancyd xx
Love all the little flowers. Will have a go at making one similar.
ReplyDeleteNow thats pretty, so looking forward to watching the video after work. Have a great day Sue, hugs xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteI just loved this card when I saw it on You tube and just had to make it and was sooooo happy with the result. One of my favourite cards that I have made so far. Your instructions make it so easy even though it looks complicated.
Back to Christmas cards for me, nearly finished just a couple of very special ones left to make.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes - wow I remember seeing this on Jonathon Lockwood's Hochanda show, I don't have this die and wished now I had bought it. Will watch the video later, I have to go to the hospital for more tests today as they have found an aortic aneurism which needs urgent surgery so at the moment that is all I can concentrate on.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

ReplyDeleteLovely card as always.
Well ladies this week has been ok but my scalp is so tender and hair is beginning to fall out. This is the hardest bit for me but I keep telling myself it's only hair it'll come back. But then my other wee voice pips up but u know how long I take to grow right??? AGES!! Lol
Anyway I do have a cracking wig but I can't put it on cause my heads sore just now bloomin nuisance.
My picc line is going In this morning. I'm nervous but I just think cmon girl it's the last day of needle prodding once this is in it will be easier.
Laine thanks for asking about me. I've only had one bad week so I'm quite thankful I'll have to mention the sickness tho see if I can get stronger counter action meds to help as it wasn't pleasant. Next week it all starts again on tues second round of fec chemo :-(
Tx cowgirl sorry ur going thru this hard time I know how he's feeling but things do get better x

I'm a 'flower' girl this card is for me :-) hugs, Ivy xx
ReplyDeleteloving all the new dies!!! genius!!
ReplyDeleteam I correct in spotting some new sentiments, Sue? Is there a new stamp set due out too [please!!]
tony xxxx
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - this is such a beautiful card. I absolutely love it. Haven't watched the video yet but want to know how long it took to stick all those tiny flowers on he frame. As you know I adore anything and everything Sue Wilson but I think I have got to say that this has got to be one of my favourite cards that you have ever done. Went all gushy when I saw it. Got to get this die. FATHER CHRISTMAS - I promise I'll be good from now on if you bring me this die on Christmas morning x
Got a bit of a task ahead today - MIL's next appointment for her stents has come through and it is 2 days before Christmas. This is not really good timing because of my sis and bruv in law's work commitments and my boys being away it is going to be impossible, So on the menu today is phone calls to try and move the appointment - hoping it will be a straightforward job but these things rarely are x
TRACY - I feel for you hun - not been through it myself but one of my best friends had breast cancer 7 years ago and she said the worst part was losing her hair. She
decided to embrace her baldness which caused great hilarity when we went out and people started looking at her so she extended a very loud invitation for them to stroke her head! You are fantastic and the way you are dealing with this chapter of your life is admirable. Hang in there lovely lady - loads of love x
JUNE - thinking of you - sending you a hug x
JAN - I think you are mad wishing to meet Laine and me (Thelma and Louise). I would fear for your safety and more so your sanity. Laine and I have not had the opportunity to meet and I do not know when that will happen but I am sure you will hear all about it - it's bound to make the headlines nationally if not internationally x
SABA - ok so we have now established that your dancing is not a talent which you should rely on but I am sure you are good at something x
Maria - George's Birthday is not until the 16th December. We are having a bit of a surprise gathering for him on the evening of Sunday 13th. Family and friends coming round and he has no idea - he will be in his element as he is by his own admission a bit of a tart and he loves being the centre of attention. Then on 20th Jake is taking him to Amsterdam - I know - should I be worried? Lol! My theory is what goes on in Amsterdam stays in Amsterdam - I think that's best don't you. They will be away form the Sunday until Christmas Eve evening. A few friends had asked if I was bothered that they were going away that close to Christmas but I've got to be honest I am really looking forward to a quiet house which will be the calm before the force 10 storm which descends on the household over the festive season x
LAINE - I'm intrigued - when you say the handle for your platinum is challenging what do you mean? Does it argue with you??!! A die addiction is acceptable - I can think of much worse addictions which you would obviously not be so open and vocal about! I must follow in your footsteps and put to good use the texture paste which is sitting abandoned in my stash. I used it once when I first got it and loved it but when ones craft stash is large enough to equip a craft shop one forgets about things until someone reminds you or you come across it whilst searching for something else. Like you - don't drink, don't smoke and non existent social life. To an outsider that may sound like we are the saddest individuals in existence but actually I am happy with my lot. As has been pointed out before - we are kindred spirits and so alike. Our love of Yankee candles being the last piece of the puzzle. And for the record there is nothing wrong with dogs - I just don't appreciate your implication that I resemble one - lol x
Oh my word - got to split my comment again - sorry Sue!!!
Part 2 again!!! LORRAINE FREEMAN - hope you are ok. Sending you a gentle huggle. I am so glad to have you fighting my corner - nice to know that someone realises that I am not the fiend that Laine would have everyone believe I am x
ReplyDeleteMYRA - you are pleased with your Platinum by the sounds of things. Which machine did you use before?
FLUFFYCAT - I am very normal - well that's what I tell myself every day!! I am so pleased of your admission of your mistake - it takes a big person to admit that they are wrong x
MELODY - I am presuming Molly is still without internet as she hasn't commented - give her our love. Thinking of you and Francis and sending you lots of love x
WHEELYBAD - how you doing hun?
Must go - porridge then phone calls. Have a good day and a happy 1st December to one and all.

ReplyDeleteWow, this card is so very pretty, your video shows how easy it is to make. This die is on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteThis really is a girlie card, so dainty.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, its a reasonably lovely day today and what a stunning card I image all those flowers took time to attach to the frame, its a stunning card. hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card Sue. It looks like you spent so much time on it! I like be flowers so this is defending nicely a card I need to try.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a gorgeous card. It is very girlie with all those pretty flowers. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteMorning OH I do love all those little flowers. Beautiful

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh such a gorgeous card and this die arrived yesterday but not had time to play yet. Cant wait!!!
Much love,

This is so gorgeous. Just my kind of card. Going to watch the video now. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue, I have this die I just need to find the time to use it.
ReplyDeletesharon :)
Absolutely gorgeous! This is definitely a favourite card for me. Beautifully feminine and gentle looking. I've got this die but wasn't sure how I'd use it so you've given me great inspiration today. Love it! Debra x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I saw this card on TV with John. It really is very pretty. Love it
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLooking at this card makes me think of a wedding cake. I can just see a model of the bride and groom standing in the centre of the card, replacing the sentiment.
Margaret xxx
WOW!!! Sue, I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the caps but I think this card is just too beautiful for words and guess which die has now risen to the top of my Sue Wilson wish list...yep, I really do need this delicate garden die set lol.
The colours are so delicate and I love the dedication of gluing each and every little flower around the frame, initially to hide the join, it's a stroke of genius.
Thanks so much for sharing with us all, Sue.
Bejay xx
I agree with the other commenter....made me think of a beautifully decorated cake....so pretty. You really think of things that help the crafter--like the cluster of flowers in the die set. Great to be able to cut many flowers in one pass. Great time saver and I agree with you that cards like this can be very relaxing to make. Just love it. Jan D., Florida, USA
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful delicate card, absolutely gorgeous
Happy Crafting everyone
Love Pam B
Good morning! Oh Sue, I absolutely love this card...I am addicted to paper flowers and as Bejay said, this die set is now at the top of my wish list. It is gorgeous!!! Thank you for the great video...you always make everything look so easy.
ReplyDeleteI'm working really hard to finish my batch Christmas cards (100) so I can begin the special family cards. The batch cards started out being quick and easy and then I got the Festive Collection Winter Trees dies and had to reconfigure so that I could add trees with Iced Snow to the card. I love the card but it is no longer quick and easy.
June, sending good thoughts your way.
Tracy, I hope it gets easier for you. You are an extraordinary woman!
Yvonne, I'm sure that when the new Thelma and Louise finally meet it will be an international event. Maybe you could go on tour and then I could finally meet you. Oh, what fun that would be!
Melody, I hope Francis is doing better.
Molly, I miss your lovely posts. I hope you're having fun playing with all the new dies you got for your birthday.
Huge hugs to all.
Have a beautiful day everyone!
Very pretty card! Anne xo
ReplyDeleteThis is magnificent!! I absolutely adore the flower frame idea!! I do believe that I am going to have to make a similar card!! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card, I can see many uses for this floral frame. Thanks for all your great ideas.
:-)
Lorna D
Very pretty and as you say girlie. xx
ReplyDeleteLooks incredibly fiddly! I'll have to watch and see how you did it ;)
ReplyDeletePretty card, Sue, though a trifle flower overload for me - sorry! Frame gorgeous, inner beautiful, but think better apart perhaps. As ever, thank you for the video.
ReplyDeleteGot my lattice window yesterday and spent HOURS making a card (yes, I'm one of the guilty ones re craft area bombsite - takes me soooo long to find anything.) Anyway, the striplet was so easy to cut and made the basis of a great wedding card - so pleased to have it and of course want today's dies too! Am toying with someone's suggested idea of popping a bridal couple in the centre, sounds good.
June and Tracy - hope today went OK. Tracy, my cousin used the cold cap to prevent hair loss but lost it anyway, and then it grew back so different and she was thrilled - so you never know!
Hugs to all who need one.

Such a beautiful girlie card, I just love the way you glitter your sentiment, it just makes the centre 'pop'....thank you for the video tutorial....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteLove this card and I have the dies so I can craft along with you, thank you for sharing
June, hope all goes well with your tests and you get the surgery you need soon

Hi Sue, the card today is fab and the little bitty flowers look great as a frame.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Lots of love and craftihappiness everyone,
pearl x
This is so very sweet with all the little flowers, but I'll have to watch the video later. I need another marathon video session soon, as I have gotten behind again. What I really need is to get in my craft room and organize it. One of the online craft sites was offering a choice of a free online class, and I chose "Get Organized | Scrapbook Storage Solutions", I need a serious intervention at this point.
ReplyDeleteJune and Tracy, prayers said for you both. Please get well soon, and get back to having fun crafting. We are all blessed to have the world of making somethng, creating. Some never discover this joy.
To all you sweet Wilsonites, God bless.
So, so pretty. Going to make this for my friend's 60th in a couple of weeks. Thanks Sue xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue.
ReplyDeleteI think this is such a beautiful delicate looking Card. I think it would be great for a young girls Birthday, it's so pretty. I'm sure she would be delighted. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
This is what I would class as a 'pretty' card. It has a very lacy feel and think it would span the ages.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Very feminine

Sue, such a pretty card today, it does look time consuming but I know your die cuts lots in one go. Brilliant :)
ReplyDeleteTxcowgirl, your granddaughters sound very talented.
Laine, I am doing what I can online but need to go to some of the less expensive stores to fill some baskets.
Maria, yes I do remember Supergranny but don't think I will be emulating her any time soon.
Jan, no I didn't sleep well. I was sore and achy which I hoped would be gone but no. In fact this afternoon I had really awful stabbing pains so I returned to bed with a hot water bottle. The sharp pains have gone but it's still very sore and achy.
June, no wonder you are so preoccupied. I hope it's all sorted very soon and that it's not a painful process.
So sorry to hear your head is so sore Tracy, huggles. Also it's bound to be upsetting when your hair falls out, more huggles. I hope the picc line went in ok and that chemo is kinder to you this time.
I think I had better split this one!
Hi Sue, a very pretty and girly card that anyone would love to receive. This die has been on the top of my list since I first saw it so hopefully it won't be too long before it is in my possession.
ReplyDeleteJune S - I hope the test went well today and you get your surgery very soon.
Tracy - did the picc line go in ok? It will be a relief for you knowing that you won't be stabbed every time you go back in.
Frances
Yvonne, I hope you managed to rearrange MIL's appointments.
ReplyDeleteBtw we don't talk about what happened in Amsterdam ( that's a take on a quote not me being snarky :) )
I don't have the witty style of yourself and Laine, but can I become the third triplet? I don't drink (because of my meds), I don't smoke and what's a social life ? I too have enough craft items to stock a store but goodness knows where anything is when I need it! And yet I still have an insatiable need for more craft items. I love crafting and I would be heartbroken if I was no longer able to create. Thanks for the Huggles.
My thoughts remain with Melody and Francis and I miss Molly xxx
So hoping this soreness eases soon then I can try and forget about it for a while and just deal with it when I get the results. I can't sit to craft at the moment so that's very frustrating.
Lovely hubby is cooking a roast which I am sure he would rather not be doing as his foot is still very sore.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThis is a really pretty card and you have so much patience! I've got this frame and cut a few flowers out to adorn boxes if made and that was more than enough for me!!! Lol. Thank you for sharing
Love Diane G xxxx
Good evening Sue and all. What a pretty delicate card today, a little dainty for me sorry but one I would happily try to recreate and give to someone with a more feminine side than me. That said tho, I would be more than happy to receive such a beautiful creation knowing how much goes into making these stunning cards.
ReplyDeleteHugs and best wishes to all, Theresa. X
Hi Sue absolutely love this card, this was one of the first dies in the new range that I purchased.xx
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a very pretty card, very girly. I have this die and I love it , I use it whole and chopped as it makes lovely corners.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! I must admit the first thing I thouht was that I'd take ages. Must watch later to see how you did it.
June Smith, thinking of you. That must've been quite a shock. Hope surgery is very soon as waiting is the worst part. Sending many hugs x
Tracy, I hope the discomfort on your scalp can be eased, and that they can find an anti sickness med that works. At least the line will be in and save you from more discomfort, sending many hugs x
Lorraine Freeman hope you feel better soon, many hugs x
Melody, hope Francis is getting stronger, sending many hugs to the both of you and to Molly x
Yvonne, I'm ok, just had a bad time with fatigue, migraines and my neck playing up. Hoping I'm owed some awake time so I can get some of this C******** lark sorted. Sending many hugs x
I've not had the chance to catch up on comments, I'm sorry about that, still building up to being able to look at a screen for extended periods. Sending big hugs to everyone, I got plenty extra should they be needed.
Fingers crossed I will see you all tomorrow, have a lovely evening,

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I have been out today so haven't seen the video as yet but hopefully later!
I love the card. The little flowers are really pretty. The whole thing is so feminine!
Yvonne- I have had two GC machines. The teal one still works but moans a lot! I mean that - it really makes a moaning sound! I am really pleased with the Platinum machine. Sue's lovely die - Christmas Tree words cut cleanly and completely first time. Embossing is better too and having clear plates allows you to peek underneath to see if the die has cut without disturbing the plates.
By the way - Saba is very good at - - It's a secret!!!
Love to all Myra xxx

ReplyDeleteA very pretty card,will have to watch the video tomorrow.
Evening Sue, I saw this card on Johns show last week and loved it, I love the way you include lots of flowers the same size to make die cutting quicker and easier for us all. I will have to try and have a go,at something similar soon.
ReplyDeleteEvening Sue and everyone,
ReplyDeletesuch a pretty card, so many little flowers. Gorgeous die

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteToday was another one of those Wowzers moments, not many things render me speechless but this beautiful card certainly did. I haven't had time to watch the video as yet, been rather busy, but I will set aside some quality time with you soon, I promise:-)
There are two things I love on a card, flowers and butterflies, so I am thrilled with this new die- I'm feeling a little crazed at the minute with all my last minute Christmas card making, but I think I might have bought this die, I just can't be sure off the top of my head...is it little wonder I end up buying multiples of everything?
It does look rather time consuming but I quite like to be methodical when I'm creating...you have to be when cross stitching....it makes the end result all the more satisfying I feel. I'll definitely be giving this a try after the festive season...if I haven't been sectioned following nervous exhaustion:-)
It's been raining cats and dogs again so I bowed to the pressure to complete more festive cards as a distraction. I've now got an over developed right arm due to all the frantic turning of my stiff Platinum handle- it's a great machine though, glad I invested in it.
Darcey and Brodie thought they'd join me just for a nosey of course, they're bored because of the inclement weather, I scared them off with the noise from my heat gun though!
My pal Gill is popping by for another Sue master class tomorrow, we're going to listen to Christmas tunes and attempt to recreate a Sue original with varying success no doubt, I'm looking forward to it just hope I get something done this time....gossiping took priority last time I'm afraid:-)
Saba, you had me in stitches with your oh so accurate diagnosis- I looked up the definition of oniomania and nearly wet myself, it's freaky how you know me so well. I have now told my family that I have a recognised psychiatric disorder that impels me to spend indiscriminately...I also told them that there is no cure and that they had to accept my disability as an integral part of my personality, it was met with mixed responses I have to say, but I feel vindicated and reassured that my 200+ shoe collection etc etc is not my fault:-)
Whilst you may not be a talented dancer, you are certainly a talented shopper, and that is significantly more important in my book.
Linda, Brodie is a cat and he's free to a good home if you are interested- you'd have to get rid of your dogs of course because he's rather territorial and I would fear for their safety, but on the plus side he's a very capable crafter and likes to go for walks so I don't think you'd miss them much:-)
June, I hope your hospital appointment went well and that your operation will be scheduled soon, big hugsxxxx
Tracy, I just want to give you a big hug honey, you're really meeting the challenges of your treatment head on. I'm fortunate enough not to have any personal experience of chemo and it's side effects but I can appreciate that every day must be a battle both physically and emotionally. Is there anything that can ease the tenderness on your scalp so that you can use your wig? I've heard of peoples hair growing back even better and thicker than before but just take one step at a time for now otherwise we can overwhelm ourselves with the enormity of a situation, take carexxxx
Think I'd better split this just in case girls, sorry Sue for being a gobby bore:-)
Very pretty card Sue, love the little flowers, I do agree with some comments about being able to cut out lots all in one pass, thank you

Hi again honeys!
ReplyDeleteYvonne, my old mucker! You poor deluded soul, letting your precious cargo go unsupervised to Amsterdam is a recipe for disaster, I fear that rather than it being a time of restful contemplation for you, it will in actual fact be fraught with anxiety- it will come as little surprise to learn that I was a tear away at their age and I dread to think about all the mischief I would have wreaked in such a 'liberal' environment, but hey, I'm sure you have raised them in such a way that sex and drugs will be the last thing on their minds:-)
Can you imagine the havoc we would create if we were ever to meet? You are so right, we are kindred spirits but maybe for the safety of the nation as a whole we should keep a respectable distance, is the world really ready for such an explosive union?....besides, my tag stops me from going out of the area for the foreseeable:-)
Hope you managed to get your MiL hospital appointment sorted out, she's so lucky to have such a caring DiL, it must be a comfort to her.
Lorraine F, oh my dear, asking to form a trio with me and Louise is a proposition that you may not have thought through fully- whilst I can vouch for my own trustworthiness and good character the same reassurances cannot be given for my partner, she is a loose cannon and needs to be dealt with with kid gloves, volatile and unpredictable is not the word, are you truly prepared for such a task?
Sorry to hear that you are struggling after your biopsy, hope you improve soonxxx
Maria, like I said to Linda, Brodie presents a number of challenges on a day to day basis, on the surface he appears to be soft, fluffy and adorable, but underneath this lies a monster! Just ask Darcey who is the frequent focus of naughtiness, if you have a plentiful supply of smoothies and don't mind your best efforts at Cardmaking being interfered with on a daily basis then I would be prepared to offer him to a good, tolerant home:-)
Hugs to all my blog buddies including Beth, Rebecca, jan, deb C, Wheely Bad, melody, Molly , Theresa and all need a big cuddlexxx
Crafty hugs and goodnight,
