Hi bloggers! It does feel a bit odd not to be putting up Christmas cards on Friday, but I'm sure it will come back around soon enough! LOL Today's card uses the
Canadian Collection, starting with the background. I cut it in
coconut white card and backed it in
periwinkle blue card. I used the inside cutting die to cut it into a frame and mounted foam around the edge to raise it. I used the die again, but this time, I simply embossed it into white card. I seated my frame over the embossed piece and added
white flatback pearls to the centre of each square. For the centre of the frame, I cut two of the
Canadian Collection tags in white and crisscrossed them and turned them to form a diamond shape in the centre of the card. I stamped my sentiment then cut it out with the inside cutting die from the tag. I drew around the oval on to a piece of
periwinkle card, then hand cut a small mat for my sentiment. I attached them to the centre of the card with foam. The card was completed by paper piercing a white mat, then adding a thin periwinkle mat and another final white mat. The finished dimensions are 6" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
A pretty card thank you .
I sometimes forget to just emboss as well as cut with the same die.
Take care and have fun. Kitty.
Beautiful card,love this background die.
Lovely card Sue and that embossed background is great. I always forget about embossing dies just for texture and miss out so much because of it. Have a great day, hugs xxx
Good morning Sue,
Absolutely stunning card, yet again double usage of your dies that's were many of us slip up. Your inspiration inspires us to use the dies to the best of their ability. Thank you Sue. Yvonne xx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow where do you get all these ideas from, gorgeous, they are the type of card that you could make batches of and leave the sentiment centre to add later, gorgeous.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hello Sue and all
Favourite background die and favourite colours too. It looks beautiful embossed as well, I had not thought of that either, just a gorgeous card.
Christmas is all packed away again for another year, grandchildren go home in the morning, they still have a few weeks of summer holidays to go but mum and dad are taking time off now. I will really miss them but I think it is time to get back to crafting again without assistance lol !!!
Have a lovely weekend,

To My Very Special Friend Sue,
"Truly Superb Outstanding Card" I Love How You've Created
The Frame With The Canadian Background Die, And How You Then
Used The Same Die And Embossed It, Like Kitty And Nana Tina I Forget
To Emboss My Dies So It's Great For You To Share This Stunning Card With
Us, To Remind Us.
I Love The Cocunut White And The Beautiful Periwinkle Foundation Card.
Well Strange Start To 2016 Sue As You Know I Lost A Lot Of Weight In 2015 Which I
Was Really Thrilled About, So This Year I Decided To Try Exercising!!!!!
At First Not Too Bad Then At The Start Of This Week I Was Exercising And I Felt
A Twinge Go In My Back Since Then I've Been In Agony With Pain In My Back!!!!!!
I Received My New Dies Yesterday So I'll Have To Wait A Few Days Untill I Use
Them.
Which Is Really Sad As Like Nanna Tina I Have Started To Make The Odd
Christmas Card As I Hate Rushing That's "When I Make Mistakes" I've Done Quite A Lot
Of Cutting But I'll Have To Wait Until You Bring Out Your Christmas Dies For The
2016 For The 2016 Angel As I'm Aware Your Bringing Out A New Angel Each Year.
Well Sue Take Great Care Thank You So Very Much For Sharing I So Much Appreciate It
Thank You For All The Great Tips And Techniques.
Warmest Wishes To Your Mom, And Colin

Very pretty I so like periwinkle blue I had the Canadian background for my birthday in October and not used it for a completed project yet!
Lovely card, Sue, do like the inner embossed area to match. Another die that's been on the want (yearn for!) list for ages.

Morning Sue,
I love today's card and the colours you have used, I do like the periwinkle blue so much that I've run out of it. Seems to be my go to colour choice for cards.
This die set is on my must have list, which grows constantly.
I received my stamp set yesterday thank you so much it's lovely.
I will be card making today, I finished the two craft bags I was making. They are a bit big though but lots of room to put in more craft stuff that I buy lol.
Thank you so much for inspiring us with your beautiful cards and how you make them.
Have a lovely day

Good Morning Sue!
I love this card so clean and simple just what I like, especially the Canadian Die
The Periwinkle card is so pretty!
Weather change today, Frost this morning, and temperature dropped last night to normal for this time of year!After all this mild weather its a shock to put heating on earlier to warm the house!
I hope everyone is over the Christmas panic and cruising along waiting for CHA goodies to surface.
Wheely I hope you are Ok ?
Take care
Love Marg

Hugs Sylvia xx
Hi Sue,
Beautiful, I have this die so will be doing this card!
:-)
Lorna D
Hi Sue,
Very clever idea to use the die simply to emboss the centre panel - gives lots of texture/interest without adding too much dimension to the finished card...
Rosemarie - if you're using the Grand Calibur then you could buy an additional pink embossing plate/tan mat set and then use just the pink plate instead of the grey base plate when you want to emboss a die rather than cut with it...hth

Good morning Sue
I love it when you use your previous collection dies, this particular one is so pretty. Beautiful card the embossing is gorgeous!

Hello Sue
Your card today is so pretty and you have used one of my favourite dies!
Like lots of our other Blog friends I had forgotten that the die could be used for embossing as well.
I am thinking of all those people whose lives have been turned upside down by all the problems caused by the flooding and now snow.
With good wishes to everyone,

Love the card Sue, possibly because it is blue and white again. I keep meaning to add this die to my ever growing collection, but I ordered lots of new goodies yesterday and forgot to add this one to the list. I may have to wait until next month as I managed to overspend by loads already.
Lisbeth
It's lovely :)
Sue, a beautiful crisp card today, not a thing to criticize about it. Fabulous
Heather T, I hope your cough and cold go soon.
Theresa W, thanks I am still sniffly but no worse so I am very thankful.
Welcome Anne/Crafty Mamma, I am sure you will now be a frequent visitor to this fantastic blog.
Jan fLI, thanks hunny. So sorry to hear you are poorly again. I hope the antibiotics do the trick.
Linda N, thanks so much. I am meeting my Mum and eldest daughter for lunch so that will be lovely. I hope you are doing ok.
Laine, the electronic adapter is promised for CHA so I hope you can get your hands on it very soon. Thanks for the well wishes for my birthday, it seems to be ok so far. I had more chocolate so I think the diet is postponed but then I will get back to it as I am not happy at this size.
Tina, yes it's a good idea to start early on Christmas cards. I didn't get it 100% right but was much better prepared this last Christmas.
Happy crafting Muriel.
Sam, I hope your back is much better very soon and that you can get crafting again.
Pam (in Wales), thank you so much for the birthday wishes. So far I have had Double pierced squares B and the classic adorned squares plus some money to buy more dies :).
Maggie, happy crafting Wi t h your new crafting goodies.
Wishing good things to all xxx
Hi Sue,
Love how you framed the card and layered it colors are just perfect.I am always amazed on how you take these dies and create different boarders with them.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Beautiful card and I really love the periwinkle color you accented with. Nice touch to just emboss part of the background. Note to self. Jan D., Florida, USA
Hi all, Happy New Year to all, hope 2016 brings good things. Apologies that this is so late, sadly we had a sudden death in the family on 27th December but life goes on so live every day like its your last. Love & Hugs xx
Good afternoon lovely Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a really pretty card Sue and i love the colour that you have used behind the white, as that periwinkle is such a pretty shade although never sure if it is blue or lilac but i do like it. Again a card that i don't have the dies for but i can make up something else with that beautiful colour scheme and it still be a nod to your fantastic skills Sue. I love how you have used the canadian background die to emboss the background layer to merge into the top and look seamless in its beauty. Thank you flower for yet another wonderful WOW. Well we have it cold, frosty and icy down here but if people just drive with due care and attention everyone will be able to go to the places that they need to and home safely. I am going away to sit down and knit a few rows of my shawl that i am making for a dear friend so i will leave hugs for all the wilsonettes that could do with one and wish you all a good day,
love and crafty hugs

Good morning/afternoon everyone. Sue, I love the colors and design of this gorgeous card. Thanks for the reminder to emboss with the dies. Your talent never ceases to amaze me.

Hi Sue Beautiful card and blue my favourite colour, so nice to see older dies again must get this one out thank you for inspiration .
Jeanie.e
Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
I just adore today's card, it more than makes up for the inevitable withdrawal symptoms we all feel at the end of our twofer Fridays. The Canadian background is by far my most favourite background die from all of your excellent collections, I have used it on a number of special cards and boxes with stunning results, so it's lovely to see it make a reappearance. I love the combination of the outer portion die cut with the central section merely embossed, genius and very effective- it's the pearl accents that really draw me to this die cuts possibilities.
Whilst I love your cards using the blue and purple tones, I miss your cream/custard and neutral toned designs plus the cream and black colour palette, but that's simply personal preference and in no way detracts from the superiority and beauty of any card you make.
I'm somewhat early today, had planned to take advantage of a rare frosty, bright day by venturing out for some shopping but decided to be a sloth instead:-), doing housework and abit of colouring instead- I'm trying to improve my technique through YouTube and DVD demos.
It feels rather retro and reminds me of my childhood when I would spend hours colouring and drawing, it's very relaxing but the perfectionist in me wants to be able to do it proficiently...no pressure then:-)
Sam, sorry to hear about your back problems, my mum has had a lifetime of similar troubles and walks with two sticks so I know how debilitating it can be. Good old fashioned putting your feet up and rest is the only answer she says....and maybe that gin drip helps take the edge of too:-)
Happy birthday Lorraine! Oh I'm so jealous! I would love the pierced squares, you are so lucky:-) Glad to hear your cold is behaving itself so that you can enjoy the day, hope you have a lovely lunch with your family. More decisions to make about which goodies to spend your cash on, have you received all of your lastest purchases....my Postie is getting a well deserved break:-(, hopefully not for long though.
Darcey has been very sick this morning the poor little scone, her and Brodie are due their annual boosters this coming week or so which will be an experience I'm glad won't be repeated anytime soon- engineering a cat into a tight enclosed space is a challenge to say the least!
Brodie has just established his authority by knocking my seat when I got up to get a drink instead of using his own part of the sofa-as any cat owner will tell you, you will be relegated to the floor rather than disturb them, they are boss!
Love and hugs to Yvonne, Beth, miss you buddies, Theresa ,Maria, Jan, hope your antibiotics are kicking in, Rebecca, hope you're alright too and Melody plus Tracy and all who need a healing cuddle.
Off to watch A place in the Summer Sun, a little escapism is just what I need....
Love and crafty hugs

Loving Canadian, Periwinkle combination.
Hello everyone! I must admit I did a double take when I first saw this card. It is hard to believe the same die did the emboss background and the cut frame. On close up photo you can tell, but a first look, they seem so different. Just love the Canadian background for so many reasons. I have used mine many times.
Hi Sue
Beautiful as ever
Take care
Hazel G XX

Hi Sue, a card made using my all-time favourite Canadian background and periwinkle blue card has just got to be a hit with me. I love it.
Laine - be glad you were a sloth, it is freezing out there. It took me 20 minutes to defrost the car at 9.30 this morning and the puddles from yesterday were frozen solid. There is still plenty of frost on cars that haven't moved all day and on the roofs of sheds and houses but worst still, there is snow on Ben Cleuch!
Lorraine F - I hope you are having a lovely birthday and the package from your son contained the dies you wanted.

Afternoon Sue & ladies,
A beautiful, pretty card for today, the periwinkle blue is such a soothing shade.
The stamps arrived yesterday Sue, thank you so much, I had already bought a U mount pad so will be practising tomorrow as do have a special wedding card to make for my great nephew and his bride next month.
Warm, fuzzy, comfort blanket hugs to all in need of one, especially Saba & Val.

Happy Birthday Lorraine.

Beautiful card using probably my favourite of all your background dies.
The Canadian background is one of my favourite dies Sue and looks do pretty with the periwinkle blue. Love from Jackie xx
Beautiful card, love the gorgeous periwinkle colour.
A gorgeous card using my favourite background die. Beautiful color as well. Must try using the die for embossing, it is very effective. I am going to use my Christmas token to buy the remaining Canadian dies and perhaps a couple of your newer ones spending how far the token stretches; the more you use them, the more I want them.
Thanks for more inspiration.
Teresa
Hi Sue
I love this b/ground. It's on the list! Really pretty card. I hope you enjoy CHA and I was so pleased for you that TxCowgirl gas reported seeing moee and more of your dies for sale in the US. Billy sends his special kisses for you and Mom. He's asleep on my legs at the minute, he's waiting for Mr W so get home (calm before the dog tornado lol).
TxCowgirl, your family will be up most in my thoughts. Will be wishing only good things for you all xxx
Tracy, warm hugs. Hoping the week so far has been kind xxx
Lorraine F, glad the biopsy results were good, sending many happy returns and a big virtual slice of cake for your birthday, hugs xxx
Sam, your poor thing! You must be more than a little disappointed after making such a good decision to excercise you then get an injury. To help with the recovery- if the injury site is hot, put ice on it, If the site of the pain is normal temperature you can add heat (hot water bottle or heat mat) which will increase blood flow to the muscles and help with stiffness too. I hope it eases soon, hugs xxx
Melody, Molly and Francis, hugs xxx
Yvonne, Beth, hope you're ok xxx
I've noticed quite a few new names when I was catching up on peoples posts. A welcome hug to you all xxx
Laine, I have a dog who not only believes it's his furniture, he's also long enough to hog the whole sofa on his own! Luckily positive reinforcement in the form of a doggy choc drop means that if asked he will shift (with accompanying huffy sigh). Mr W just got home and is sitying in Billys chair as Billy has claimed 2/3 of the sofa while cuddled up to me.
Hugs to all the crafty pets from Billy and I xxx
Sending hugs and thanks to Laine, Jan, Lynda, Marg and Theresa W. Only one migraine in the last 3 days but my back and neck are still causing much more than their fair share of pain. Been trying to rest but had visitors Weds and Thurs which wore me out a fair bit. Have a reference to write for my PA over the next two days as she's hoping to go to uni to train as a mental health nurse. I think she's perfect for it and she'll still be able to see me once a week. I'm flexible over which day she comes so it should work out.
Mr W just made me a coffee so it's time to listen to him vent about work for a bit (least I can do). Hugs to every single one of you wherever you are in the world. I got extra hugs, tea and sympathy for anyone who needs it. Hoping I'll be back tomorrow,

Hi Sue
I have to say this must be one of the best background dies out there I love it,a stunning card.
Hello Sue,
I started to do this hours ago but got distracted! It's been one of those days!
The card for today is gorgeous! I love that background die and it is one that I do cut into and chop around! It's so easy to do it!
I hope everyone has as nice a weekend as they can.
Sending love to those with heavy hearts just now!
