Hi crafters! Today's video is an easel card, which is a bit different for me! It uses a variety of dies to create a wonderfully detailed card. I hope you have a few minutes to watch the video.
I also want to give you a quick reminder that I have shows on Hochanda today at 9am, 12 noon, 4pm and 7pm with the One Day Special! I hope you can tune in!

Love this card, so beautiful. It's very textural in a very pretty way. I missed my guess yesterday, I will go for 1811 cards.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone has enjoyed their Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Special hugs to Melody and family, Tracey and all who are not well, and everyone else who wants one too.
Beautiful card,so pretty. Always love butterflies.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteI saw this video on You tube a while ago and absolutely loved this card. I made it up and was so very pleased with the result, a beautiful design Sue.
I caught your show from last night (at 7 am here) and really enjoyed the demos, don't know if I should try to watch more, my list is growing again-lol !!!
Looking forward to getting back to the craft room soon, grandchildren are still here but I am really enjoying them, a wonderful time

Love this very pretty card.I think I was ready for a butterfly after all the Christmas snowflakes etc.
Thank you Jan
Beautiful. I am just catching up with last night's show on TV, lovely sets of dies
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue.
ReplyDeleteLovely card ,will watch the video later as I'm 'watching your show from last night on the TV
ReplyDeleteReally lovely little card today, Sue, so pretty and one that my late Mum would have adored, being a blue lady!
ReplyDeleteGreat show last night, must say that I thought uh oh when saw who the presenter was - but you definitely brought out the best in him. If they could only get the camera close-up shots up to speed it would be so much better - just seems everyone is looking into the monitor just waiting. Anyway, lots of fab samples, particularly the (again) little card shown at the start of the show - beautiful! Is this a new departure? Think 2016 will be v interesting.
Late this morning, rabbited on and a busy day ahead, so will watch video this evening and an advance thank you. Hope to catch some of the shows.
Hugs to all.

Morning Sue, very pretty card, and as you say a bit if a departure. Watched last nights show, loved the demos, did happy dance because Santa gave me the Alexandra die, so I wa able to see what you did with it. You only just made the 2 demos, but yo be fair there were a lot of dies to go through. Will be watching today.

Good morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful idea to use the Gemini die as a stopper! One I hadn't thought of and a perfect solution to posting an easel card without the expense of a large letter stamp!
Your card is beautiful and very effective. X
Good morning Sue this is a gorgeous easel card. I am looking forward to your shows and watching the video later. Have a great day today. Hugs Jackie

ReplyDeleteA beautiful card with all the dies!
ReplyDeleteIt is great fun to make easel cards :))
Thanks for the video!
I like the way you are showing some different sizes in cards. Great for those of us with smaller die cutting machines.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue
Jan from NSW (Aus)
Wierd feeling here, the TV is on with you going through the dies and samples and I am watching the easel card video on the iPad at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThis a lovely card, it may be a departure for you but it certainly worked. Can we expect some more such departures through the year? I guess we just have to be patient and wait and see.
Had hoped to see more demoing last night but enjoyed what you did. Looks as if we might get more this morning. The morning paper hasn't arrived so this is my excuse to watch live. Hope your day goes well.

May be a bit different but equally beautiful and the colours are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Lovely card. Your shows are all set to record. SueL x
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue I think you have found your new challenge for the year having admired the small card you showed on your show last night. Am sitting watching you at the moment love from Jackie xx

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteVery pretty easel card, love all the embellishments...and how nice to see you make a smaller card, perfect for posting without incurring excess charges!...more of those please...lol

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly delightful card. It's singing to me. Lovely!
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue, great card today, blue and white always looks so good together.
ReplyDeleteJust watching you on Hochanda and taking in all of the tips you are using, the cards are great and I hope that I will be able to afford to buy some of the dies this year. My wishlist is very long but unfortunately the funds won't stretch to buying all of the items on the list so some will have to move to the bottom until I can win the lottery!!
But at least I can learn from your ideas and adapt to what I do have and be thankful that I am much better off than a lot of people in this world.
Lots of love and craftihappiness and stay safe everyone.

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA stunning card today, I love it. I will watch the video later today.
I'm sitting here watching your 9am show while I type this. I love the demos. I am taping all the shows so I can watch the demos.
I see you using the Platimum machine with the grand Calibur plates. I am wondering whether it's worth buying it. I have not long got the new teal grand Calibur.
It would be nice if you can tell us what you think of the new machine.
Thanks for sharing
Maggie
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few of your dies but was wondering if you would consider making svg files of your dies for people with cutting machines to buy and use.
Thanks

Good Morning Sue, fabulous shows so looking forward to todays. Stunning card I love it. hugs Shirleyxxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteand a very happy New Year to you and all fellow Wilsonettes.
WOW! what a change to see a different shaped card from your norm.
I love the easel effect cards but was never a fan of the 'stoppers', too bulky sometimes in my personal view. BUT, yours is so delicate and goes with the theme of the card. Excellent choice, I love it, can't wait to see more and try one myself, although with different dies.
Love & (((((hugs))))) to all that need one.
I wish you all a happy start to your new year and hope that it is filled with wonder, new friendships and fantastic new memories.

Beautiful card Sue. Enjoyed watching the video.
ReplyDeleteI love this card ! It is so pretty with its fancy top edge and gorgeous flowers etc. definitely a card for someone special, I never got to guess how many cards yesterday but I think it would be 1016.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Sue.

That is a stunning card Sue, I love everything about it, and such a surprise to see an easel card today! A new style for a new year? I missed your show this morning, so will have to watch the next one, if only the brain worked as it once did! I've spent most of this morning and some time last night looking for my old glasses, I've only had my new ones a couple of weeks and can't work out where I would have put the old ones, somewhere safe of course!!! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a different card for you but very pretty and delicate and a great showcase for your dies, loved the video too. Enjoyed last nights show, the presenter showed a black and white card using the interlocking circles die with the sentiment thinking of you, please please can you show it on the blog, it was fabulous. Today's shows are recording and will catch up later
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Hi Sue, Beautiful card so pretty . love Jean Z xxxx
ReplyDeleteLove this card, don't have the Gemini die but hoping I ca n adapt something else. It is a really feminine, delicate card & the colour is 'me'!

Hi Sue. A beautiful card love the Gemini dies. It is nice to see you make a smaller card could we have some more please. xx
ReplyDeleteOooh Sue,
ReplyDeleteI do like this one! I'm rushing as you are on Hochanda in exactly two minutes! I saw last nights show eventually! iPad kept freezing but between the live show and repeat I saw it! You were a bit rushed but the demos were lovely!
All the best for today's shows.
Today's card I shall be trying as it's gorgeous!
Thanks again, Myra xxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card! I made my sister an easel card for Christmas and boy, oh boy, did I get confused at where to make the fold in the card lol. I'm off to watch the video now so that you can show me just how easy it is :)

Love the card, and like Elsie , I would like to see some more smaller cards.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card and so unusual for you! Really love it.
Am loving the Hochanda show's today and such great prices and wonderful demo's. Like your new assistant!!!
Lol Barbara W (Worcestershire) xx
I've made dozens of easel cards over the years, but never one as pretty as yours. You found a way to put a new twist on it with the Gemini dies....so beautiful. Again, your die design for the sentiment die works for both orientations....always thinking about the end user....love it! Your foliage dies also are wonderful for the same reason...the smaller parts you can snip off have nice shape and your foliage sets take into consideration right and left orientation. No wonder you have such a fan base.
ReplyDeleteThe size of today's card is a departure from your usual card size. Interesting. I lean toward 5x7 cards and square cards ranging from 5x5 to 6x6. Card available here in the U.S. is more conducive to these sizes, not to mention postage costs are rising.
Great video today...I need some thank you cards, so I'm going to use your ideas...I'm totally motivated and inspired.
Jan D., Florida, USA
What a pretty card. Looking forward to finding out how to make it from the video.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card & must say is definitely a change for you with an easel card which is absolutely stunning.
I am a real fan of easel cards & do tend to make a lot of them as I like the dimension & different shape but have never thought of creating the stopper with a pretty edger die as you have done with the matching die to create the card top too.
Your so creative with your card styles & always think of something different which is amazing, thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful creativity with us lucky crafters..
Gorgeous card as always & look forward to being amazed with more of your beautiful designs in 2016...

Hi Sue, a very pretty and ingenious easel card. I love the way you created the stopper, very clever and so much nicer than a wad of mounting foam! The blue and white is so fresh and clean, just right for the new year ahead. I have enjoyed all of the demonstrations on your shows so far and am eagerly looking forward to the next ones, hope you manage to get a rest in between shows.
ReplyDeleteTracy - glad you got the roof fixed and I hope that the sickness has passed by now.

Very detailed but not over fussy and very coordinated. Loving the shows. x

Beautiful card as always. Have been missing here for a while, but one broken lappy sent away for mending, another new one came without Windows 10 and it took 14 hours to install. Christmas and New Year, an unexpected 4 days away, and everything conspired against me. Hope to see you at 4pm, though annoyingly, can't buy a thing from Hochanda.
ReplyDeleteSo prettY!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, A stunning card. I programmed my recorder for your last night's show and all the shows today, have just sat down to go through the list and watch, booooohooooooo, the recorder has only recorded last night's show and the two this morning haven't recorded !!! I am on Virgin and also have the opportunity of Freeview, but I really wish Hochanda was on Virgin, as Freeview recordings invariably fail booooohoooooo. I'm watching your last night's show now at least I have one to watch hahaha.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
What a fabulous card Sue, love it all . Looking forward to the shows this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lovely Christmas and
New Year,

Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card. I love the dies and the hint of colour, a great idea to use the Gemini die cut as a stopper. Thanks for sharing.
Only managed to catch one show so far, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

well your easel card turned out fantastic...with all the texture and embellishment is awesome.....tfs
ReplyDeletewell done Sue
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card it really is so pretty, definitely one I would like to reproduce.
Right I'm keeping this short and sweet as the 4 o'clock show is about to start. At the moment I need all the inspiration I can get, we certainly get it when we tune into your shows. Thank you so much.
Love and hugs, Brenda XXX
Absolutely lovely card and can't wait to get home to sunny Spain to try this one out, have had a card makers block for several months but think watching you had re booted me. Thanks xx happy New year

and if this beauty didn't give me a kick start
nothing would LOL
Great video tut as always :)

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWatching one of your shows as I type this comment....very inspiring, thank you.
I love easel cards and this one is beautiful, as iReneM has already said if this doesn't give us a kick start to make more then nothing will.
Looking forward to everything you have to share with us through 2016!

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteVery unusual for you I agree, but have to say, I love it! Gemini dies are amongst my favourites. I might have to copy this ( in different colours) for a Ruby Wedding card if you don't mind.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, clean, elegant card. But it's small - are you sure it's one of yours? ha ha
Maureen xxx
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a bonny card Sue with the frilly stopper and the easel card design and is one of the few times that i am likely to make "small" cards but it has it all going on at half the size but still something that someone would cherish. I have made a few different Sue cards for Kirstens new granny(Ryan's granny) who has dementia but is always fair away when i send her a new card for her to encase in a frame and drive her family nuts with telling them over and over again about the card that i have made for her. Don't get me wrong it is lovely that she is so pleased with what her new addition might be but i do feel sorry for her family getting told the same story over and over again. But if you seen the joy that is on that old lady's face when she sees a new card just made for her, it really makes you happy that you can bring something as simple as a card and she is so excited about it. That is what your talent does Sue over and over again to people all over the world just because of your talent for making the right kind of dies for us to work with. I hope that you have had a wonderful festive break and that you are enjoying bringing your beautiful dies to us all on Hochanda today. Sending hugs to you and all the Wilsonettes, especially those like Tracey, Wheely Bad, Saba and Val, Sheila and all that could do with that wee bit extra kindness and thought,
Love and crafty hugs

ReplyDeleteI have to say I am not a fan of easel cards but this one is so delicate and dainty looking whereas most are too big and clumpy for my liking. I just prefer the normal style card. Will watch the video later in bed.
Oh so beautiful, just love it..thanks Sue...luv Ursula xx

This is lovely in blue!! Divine and peaceful! Happy new Year!
ReplyDeleteSue, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to contact you, but couldn't find any other way,here goes, I liked your favourite cards of 2015, and wondered if there was a way of downloading them in one go, altogether,( instead of singly) on a disc or something as there are so many, and I like them all? Cheers and thankyou, Marilyn.x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue this card is stunning with so much detail I love it I'm looking forward to watching your Hochanda shows when I get home from my daughters where I've spent New Year
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteHappy New year to you. I love today's card so different from your usual cards as in it's an easel card. I'll be looking at the video later.
Hi Sue, this is such a lovely card today and so good to see you on our screens again.xx

Just finished watching your shows which were very informative and fun, thank you and I did buy one of the sets. So looking forward to there arrival and I can play, oops create a masterpiece (if I picked up your tips correctly).
ReplyDeleteHaven't looked at the video yet but I really like the card its different, I like that.
Hope you can have a rest now after all your hard work.
Best wishes to all jxxx
Lovely card, with so many textures to it, might have to try something similar after the decs get put away for another year, I can then sit and have a bit of a play for an hour between mucking out and teaching! I managed to catch half your four o'clock show, it was great to,see you, hope next time you are on that I'm not so busy, but there again I manage to keep my bank account in the black!
ReplyDeletegreat card Sue love easel cards and of course butterflies and flowers ,all put together make a fantastic card ,Laura O

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWonderful stunning card, your so talented. Watched your shows and your card making. Need more of your inspirational dies to add to my collection. Happy new Year Sue and thank you so much for all your demos, absolutely brilliant.
All the best J xxx.
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a stunning departure from your normal style of card- I love an easel card, I haven't done one myself in absolute ages but I have definitely been inspired to give it a go again. I love your use of the Gemini die, it is intricate and very feminine when incorporated with the butterflies. I am so excited to see what you have in store for us in 2016, it's hard to imagine that there is any room for improvement with your card designs and dies but you always manage to take my breath away with your creative flair and total genius....no pressure there then I guess:-) Your commitment to your art is admirable, working during the holidays, all for our benefit, shows dedication beyond compare, many thanksxxxx
Apologies for my absence over the past couple of days, however, can it wish eAch and every lovely Wilsonette a belated prosperous and very happy new year!
Initially, I spent Hogmany as planned, gently easing myself into the day in preparation for the evenings festivities- I pampered and preened myself and launched myself into the evening with high hopes, excitement and a bottle of champagne in hand. You see, in my student days I liked to have a few drinks before I left the house just to warm me up for the jollity ahead, well, failing to take into account that a) I rarely drink anymore, b) I'm no longer in my twenties and c) it's I advisable to drink on an empty stomach, I began the night by enthusiastically imbibing said bottle of champagne. Everything was going well....until a friend offered a large shot of whiskey.....the rest of the night fell into chaos as all thoughts of going to the party at the local pub diminished. I was sick, very sick, much to my total embarrassment and ended up in bed before 11.30pm...the shame!
So Yvonne, my dear friend, your assessment of my absence was rather astute, I made a drunken, debauched show of myself and suffered for my folly yesterday spending most of the day trying to rediscover the will to live:-)
I did manage to muster the energy to watch our great leaders launch show, nothing short of a natural disaster would stand in my way.
I've been kind to myself today as well, abandoning any notion of housework in favour of watching Sue weave her magic once more- no purchases as yet unfortunately, still impoverished after Christmas, but I enjoyed it tremendously nonetheless
Sending hearty hugs to all my blog buddies, plenty of cuddles available on demand:-)

ReplyDeleteEvening Sue
ReplyDeleteWell I have had a fabulous day in your company. First there was Hochanda, then there was many of the videos which I had not had the chance to watch and then to fill in the gaps I spent the rest of my time with you on you tube. You are such good company and the conversation never runs dry. I have a numb bum as it has not moved for most of the day and a kitchen that resembles that of a shared students accommodation but I don't care. I'm happy and feeling full of inspiration and ready to go. I am hoping to be able to act on this positive attitude which I have acquired during the course of the day.
As ever you were fantastic and I am already looking forward to your next appearance. Just a thought - if you would like a bit of company on your looming trip I am more than happy to drop everything to keep you company. After all we have spent the day together all day today and it wasn't that bad was it. I will even bring large supply of your special fudge to keep you going for the entire trip. You just say the word Sue x
I am hoping that you will be revealing the total amount of cards you managed in 2015. Please put us out of our misery soon. I was hanging on to your every word during your shows today just in case you happened to mention it but you are definitely building up the tension.
So it is Christmas tree down day tomorrow. The boys are back at work/college on Monday so they will crack on tomorrow making things look less 'grotto like'. I must tackle the mess in the kitchen which is down to total neglect on my part due to a pressing engagement to fulfil my roll as most dedicated and favourite Wilsonette!
LAINE - I know you so well. Why is it that we still feel 20ish inside but our delusions are sadly completely annihilated when we attempt to duplicate behaviour which was acceptable and fun in our younger day. The after effects of said behaviour takes so long to recover from that I have come to the conclusion that one should attempt to grow old with grace and finesse. Of course one does not manage to achieve this all the time (and in your case hardly ever), but at least goes some way to making other people thinking we are fine, upstanding and decent human beings even though we are absolutely not.
I do hope the beginning to your new year has not set a president for the rest of 2016. No wonder Brody is so badly behaved. I blame the parents x
That's me done for the day. Sue has worn me out - but it was worth it. Hope everyone is happy and bearing up.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteReally, really lovely. Love it. Thank you.
Much love,
Shirley T.
A beautifully stunning easel card. I have a birthday card to make, so I think I will try this easel card of yours. I will have to subsitute a couple of your other dies to make it, but I have confindence I can put something together that will give me pleasure. As long as I use some of your dies, I can't go wrong! I was able to watch a few of your Hochanda shows this weekend. It is such a pleasure to watch you create. Now if only I can find your dies and order them here in the USA. I find some of your dies here in the USA, but not all of them. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card Sue. Love the delicate swirls and love the stopper!!
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely stunning card. So pretty and delicate. Ages since I've made an easel card.

Hello Sue, this card is absolutely stunning, Easel cards are so lovely to make, and the way you have used the dies is beautiful. Take care. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI have watched the video and how easy it seems always when you make cards.
Your card is stunning and cannot wait till I am well enough to try and make it up.
I have the flu and have been in bed from the old year and still in bed today. I am sure it won't be long till I feel better, once I have watched your videos.
Happy New Year to you Sue, and all the other crafters.
Love n hugs from Dorothy of Baldock
