Mixed Border Card
Hi crafters! You can produce great looks for your cards by mixing the Gemini dies and the Configurations dies. Today's video shows you how to create a pretty border by doing just that!
The finished dimensions are 8" x
8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card, love it. Enjoy the CHA, you will be. WOW. Hugs and thoughts to Melody and family, Molly too. Tracey, big hug for you, and all who are in need .
Morning Sue Lovely card today, and I love how you combine different dies to give a new look. The Art Decor Swirl embossing folder is my new favourite Pat x
Morning Sue. Wow your imagination knows no bounds, How do you think the design's pu? Thank you the card is so pretty and another great video. Have fun at the CHA take care Kitty.
Nice card, Sue, love the iris card and all the intricate assembly. Always good to watch your videos - thank you. Guess you'll so much enjoy CHA - and a nice escape from our foul weather, there's a rumour we'll have snow next week. Having a big 'animal shop' today for the furry ones just in case! After the big van repair bill wasn't going to get anything new, BUT yesterday succumbed and ordered the buckle die (and not a lot of pennies either). Lorraine F - pleased for your good news so now just keep well - and hugs to all.
Good morning Sue what a beautiful card and I love the dies you have used and your design is absolutely wonderful. Off to watch the video before everyone gets up.
Hi Sue Lovely card. I like the way you mix and match your dies to produce different looks each time. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day everyone. Hugs.
Good morning Sue today's card is beautiful I love how you have used all the dies. I am looking forward to watching the video later it will be my treat with a nice cup of tea. Have a great day today. Hugs Jackie
Hello Sue, the card today is beautiful, the combination of intricate and lacy dies is just amazing. Will have to watch the video later. Have a great day. Bx
Morning Sue, Great card, I am loving all the shades of blue card that you are using now, great for mixing the blues to give a shaded look. Enjoy yourself at CHA.
Hi Sue, Sorry, but this one is not for me - it's a bit too fussy - but I'm sure I'll be in the minority! I do love the colours though! Enjoy the CHA. Yet another foul day here in Durham, hope everyone near rivers are safe and sound. Love and hugs to all especially Melody & Tracy and families. Love Alison xxxx
Just love your "mixed grill" card constructions!...lol...I don't have any of the dies you feature in this example but you've given me ideas for using the dies I do have to make something very similar, so thanks...
Another gorgeous card Sue. Wish I had your talent and imagination but I do enjoy watching and learning from you. That new iris card is right up my street, will have to get that, and I have now managed to get more configuration dies and will be experimenting with them. Thank you.Xx
Good Morning Sue, what another beautiful card design, the borders are so very pretty almost like lace and the whole card is just stunning. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
Morning Sue. Another of your stunning cards. The mixture of dies you have used to create this card is great. The colours and layout are beautiful. Just wish i had half of your creative talent. Hope you had a safe journey and get some R&R before you do the rounds at CHA. Have a wonderful time and dont work to hard. Take care everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Good Morning Sue! I have the Grace Die now, and have been cutting away, its such a lovely Die, I saw it on Hochanda and thought is a must have! Just ordered the Folder on this card, another must have! I hope you enjoy the CHA and bring back more ideas for Dies! Take care Love Marg
Hi Sue - any wonderful combination of your dies and so imaginative. The video explains it so well. Love the colour too. Have a great time at CHA. Best wishes YvonneMayxx
Morning Sue, Another stunning card today, I love it. I do like the way you have combined the dies. No card making for me today I have almost finished sewing one craft bag just the lining to put in, I have started quilting the sides of the second one already have the handle made for it, and am finish the two of them today, they are large enough for our stuff we need to take to our craft workshops. I must be forget I have a hair appointment today hours fly by when I'm crafting and I forget everything else. Hope everyone has a great day Happy Crafting Maggie
Good morning Sue though the weather is awful this morning and it's not yet really light. It seems though as it may be just as bad at the CHA! Will watch the video later of this card. Seems a bit too fussy for me at first look but that could change on a proper viewing. Love from Jackie xx
Good morning Sue I wish I had just a small piece of your talent and imagination! Today's card is right up my street I love intricate cards and this one fits the bill perfectly. Hugs x Heather T
Morning Sue, Another stunning 'mix and match' card! It makes me wish that I could win the lottery to enable me to buy ALL of your dies sets so that I can spend all day experimenting :) Bejay x
Hi Sue This really is a beauty, thank you for sharing. Love the blue phase, this is such a pretty colour. Safe journey to the CHA ans enjoy that sunshine! Love Diane G xxxx
What a beautiful card, blue-and-white it's one of my favourite colour combinations. I don't know how are you come up with so many wonderful ideas. Thank you for sharing your beautiful designs with us. Enjoy the CHA

Wheely Bad hope your ok love & Hug's for you & cuddles for Billy xxxx
Hug's for all in pain or just in need of a hug sendig lots ((((((((((((Hug's))))))))) help your self.xx
Sue, what a fabulous card. My favourite colour combination and I also love the configuration dies. I can see the buckle bar is very useful too. I finished going through my recordings yesterday and you used the buckle bar a lot. A package has arrived from my eldest son for tomorrow's birthday and it is definitely some dies so I am looking forward to opening it. The cold is still at the same stage so maybe I will get away with it, touching wood just in case. Laine, I really need to cut back on the sugar too but also need to lose more weight. Diet on Monday as long as I have finished all my chocolate. If I get more for my birthday will have to put it off for another week. Must get my notebook back out as I know there was something I wanted to say to someone else but I can't remember who or what. My memory is so awful. Wishing good things to all xxx
Hello Sue and all Another beautiful blue and white card, your manipulation of the dies is just fabulous and the video makes it all so easy step by step as usual. I hope you enjoy CHA, Muriel x
You have succeeded in getting me to look at all my dies in such a different way. Now I see "parts" of them rather than only seeing them as a "whole". Great video. Jan D., Florida, USA
Lovely card today Sue. I have been inspired by both the effect produced using the central panel and by the Sintra die. I will have to go and buy one immediately
Hi Sue, Beautiful card, really love the intricate look. Catching up with your hochanda shows and videos today as I have a horrible cough and cold, your ideas and inspiration are taking my mind of it. Thanks for sharing, Heather Treble
Hello Sue, I have watched the video! Had to as I couldn't work out what you had done! You are so clever . I think today's card is really pretty and is lovely in white with just the pop of colour! Gorgeous card! My pansies and Intertwining circles Striplet arrived a little while ago! Looking forward to cutting those out. Love to all. Enjoy the Craft Fair Sue, I'm sure you will. Myra xxx
Theresa says Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Really pretty card sue I love how you show us the versatility of your dies x the colours are again gorgeous x enjoy cha x Lorraine f really pleased your results were ok x hope your cold feels better soon x Laine I didn't make any new years resolutions as I have no willpower x you only need to see my sue wilson die collection to know that !!! A lot of them were gifts though x well....some were from me for me !!! Sending hugs to molly ,melody, tracy,wheely bad and yvonne and anyone else who needs one x Take care x Theresa w xxx Ta
Lovely card Sue but a bit too frilly for my taste but you cant please everyone all the time! Hope you have a great time at CHA and bring us lots of new products.
Hello Sue, your card is stunning! It's my first visit to your blog and I can't believe it as taken me so long to find you. I am a fan of all things Creative expression and love the giggles with all the team many thanks Anne x
Wow...gorgeous card Sue! Love how you used the dies and the Iris card is gorgeous! I believe that I must have that beautiful embossing folder. Enjoy CHA.
Lorraine F. So glad your results were good. Laine and Theresa, I no longer make New Years resolutions...that way I don't have to beat myself up if I can't keep them. Life's too short to put restraints on yourself.
I have another bad cold and cough. Just praying it doesn't go into pneumonia again like last month. Doctor started me on antibiotics yesterday and hopefully that will do the trick.
A stunning card today Sue, I just love how you mix and match the die cuts to make such a beautiful card, love the colour of that Iris card....Wow is it CHA time again, what is going to come out of it this time, wait in anticipation !!!!! Enjoy it.....luv Ursula xx
Today's card is so elegant. Love all the aspects of it. You always amaze me how you can cut and nip the die cuts to come up with such different looks. I have watched you over and over again doing this cut and nip, but my brain does not think in these terms. I will need to make a card using your technique of cut and nip so I can get the process of "seeing" the design in the dies. I am enamored with the Art Deco Rose Swirl embossing folder. I am placing this folder on my want list today. Thanks for the video and sharing your talents with us Wilsonettes.
So pretty, but you never disappoint. I do believe someone could take several of your diecuts, throw them in the air, and they'd still look wonderful, however they fell. Your creations make artist of us all. I'm noticing lately many new vendors are carrying your collections here in the USA. Hopefully our shouts of what we want is finally penetrating their brains. Please be healthy everyone, it's more precious than gold.
Beautiful card Sue. I love the iris card gorgeous colour. The card is so intricate looking but your video makes it look easy to do. I'm going to have a go at making it the weekend. Thanks for your inspiration. Best wishes Loraine Jefferis xx
Todays is lovely and I love the colour. I loved yesterday's card but didn't want to comment because not been commenting that much lately so didn't think I was worthy of winning a Sue original.
Happy birthday to Doreen from Kettering hope your having a lovely day.
Lorraine F, I hope your cold goes completely and your well for your birthday x
Hi Sue and your crafty crew Wow Sue your cars just blow me away I have tried other things but always come back to die cutting and to your collection of beautiful dies Looking forward to the next collection Enjoy the CHA. I see there is a new die cutting machine on the horizon Hugs to those that need one Theresa G xxxx
Hi Sue, a pretty card and the mix of dies is so clever, today's video is great as always. I love the look of the embossing folder used so that's another one for the list. I also really like all the new colours of foundation card that you are showing us.
Hope you enjoy CHA and I know you will return brim full of ideas. Frances
Hi Sue Another lovely card I really like the colours I've been catching up on the videos today sone fantastic tips & ideas for using your dies in different ways thank you!
Beautiful card, love all your tricks etc., how to layer different die cuts. It just for me to remember all your different shortcuts. I loved your video too. Also the colour combination, my favourite colour.
Thanks Sue also for all the tips you share with us all.
I had to laugh today, Yvonne said last week I think that she had spent so much time with you...through videos and Hochanda shows...that she felt you were close friends, joined at the hip, bosom buddies etc and after spending a glorious afternoon relaxing with your recent shows I totally see her point. I worked my way through a few and felt exhilarated and inspired...and my credit card was a quivering wreck in anticipation of a severe hammering:-) I just wish that some of your genius was catching because maybe then I could have an inspiring or dare I say it original thought of my own instead of having to use your ideas as a springboard....oh well, I guess that we can't all be so gifted:-( I am excited to find out the new products from the CHA event, I wonder if the new electronic adapter for the Platinum will be featured.....oh I could cause a lot of damage in a building full of craft goodies it must be so hard to control your urges Sue to splurge indiscriminately , or will you be too busy to browse I wonder? Lorraine, I have my fingers crossed that your cold keeps a low profile at least until your birthday passes, I hope your day lives up to your expectations and you have loads of fun. Never a good time to start a diet when birthday cake is on offer, take my advice, I've found a little bit of what you fancy does you the world of good:-) Jan, you're quite right, life is too short...and I am way too thin...to be even contemplating cutting out the tastiest ingredient in my diet. I had pure thoughts and good intentions but I am fundamentally flawed and weak and my resolve was flimsy at best:-) Theresa, I too have little self control and a HUGE collection of Sue dies as proof of my weaknesses...I can think of many character flaws that are far worse than this though, most of which I also have in abundance! Yvonne, my old mucker, how are you dear girl? I'm missing your barbed comments and sparkling wit these past days, hope you are okay and not suffering from post Christmas blues or excesses...I don't think we've heard from you since Jakes impromptu dinner invitation, was it a trip to a KFC drive thru and you are too ashamed to show your face? Don't be embarrassed, it's the thought that counts:-) hugs honeyxxx Hugs to Beth, Tracy, Melody, Wheely bad, Linda,you deserve the Wednesday giveaway as much as anyone!, Saba, Maria and anyone in need of a squeeze xxx
Hi Sue It's a good job you filmed this demo as the card looked complicated,not as complicated as I thought.Love the way you use your dies,very clever. You made an awesome card.
Hi Sue Beautiful card & love the combination of all the dies you have used from your collections which work so well together. Lovely colours & love watching all your videos as you show us how all your techniques & they're very inspirational.
Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes , Oh Sue I do love this card and although I don't have any of the dies to make it I am going to try it with other dies. The colour is gorgeous, in fact so much so that I have ordered up some of that iris coloured card as well as the wisteria and a packet of smoothies to play with, the colour scene just really took my eye today so just waiting on Joanna sending it out to me to have a play with. Amazing what you can get done when you have no old man knarking at you every minute of the day, I have achieved more today with being back to my own way of doing things instead of him being on my back every minute of the day so I'm sorry flower that I haven't got in but I couldn't get a shot of a keyboard and screen with him being off. Sending gentle hugs to all my lovely Wilsonettes that really could be doing with them Love and crafty hugs Norah (glenochil village )
HI SUE FAB VIDEO AND NIFFTY (CLEVER) WAY TO USE THE DIES. GOING TO HAVE A PLAY TODAY SO BE SOMETHING I CAN TRY. THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Hi Sue I have just discovered you from the information found on my latest purchase cygnus craft die. I was was wondering how to make the best use of it. Your instructions are really good and clear especially for someone like me who has difficulty trying to find the best use for my dies.... I will certainly be watching more of your videos for inspiration. Thank you
Beautiful card, love it.

ReplyDeleteLorraine F. So glad your results were good. Laine and Theresa, I no longer make New Years resolutions...that way I don't have to beat myself up if I can't keep them. Life's too short to put restraints on yourself.
I have another bad cold and cough. Just praying it doesn't go into pneumonia again like last month. Doctor started me on antibiotics yesterday and hopefully that will do the trick.
Hope everyone is having a beautiful day!
Hugs to all,
Jan
A stunning card today Sue, I just love how you mix and match the die cuts to make such a beautiful card, love the colour of that Iris card....Wow is it CHA time again, what is going to come out of it this time, wait in anticipation !!!!! Enjoy it.....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteDoreen dmj Kettering - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - hope you've had a good day. The sun shone on us in West Wales for a change so hope you got your share, too.

Today's card is so elegant. Love all the aspects of it. You always amaze me how you can cut and nip the die cuts to come up with such different looks. I have watched you over and over again doing this cut and nip, but my brain does not think in these terms. I will need to make a card using your technique of cut and nip so I can get the process of "seeing" the design in the dies. I am enamored with the Art Deco Rose Swirl embossing folder. I am placing this folder on my want list today. Thanks for the video and sharing your talents with us Wilsonettes.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, but you never disappoint. I do believe someone could take several of your diecuts, throw them in the air, and they'd still look wonderful, however they fell. Your creations make artist of us all.
ReplyDeleteI'm noticing lately many new vendors are carrying your collections here in the USA. Hopefully our shouts of what we want is finally penetrating their brains.
Please be healthy everyone, it's more precious than gold.
Another lovely card Sue. So pretty.

Beautiful card Sue. I love the iris card gorgeous colour. The card is so intricate looking but your video makes it look easy to do. I'm going to have a go at making it the weekend. Thanks for your inspiration. Best wishes Loraine Jefferis xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteTodays is lovely and I love the colour. I loved yesterday's card but didn't want to comment because not been commenting that much lately so didn't think I was worthy of winning a Sue original.
Happy birthday to Doreen from Kettering hope your having a lovely day.
Lorraine F, I hope your cold goes completely and your well for your birthday x
Hugs

ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card today Sue, love lilac and white at the moment.xx
ReplyDeleteGood evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh today, Yvonne said last week I think that she had spent so much time with you...through videos and Hochanda shows...that she felt you were close friends, joined at the hip, bosom buddies etc and after spending a glorious afternoon relaxing with your recent shows I totally see her point. I worked my way through a few and felt exhilarated and inspired...and my credit card was a quivering wreck in anticipation of a severe hammering:-) I just wish that some of your genius was catching because maybe then I could have an inspiring or dare I say it original thought of my own instead of having to use your ideas as a springboard....oh well, I guess that we can't all be so gifted:-(
I am excited to find out the new products from the CHA event, I wonder if the new electronic adapter for the Platinum will be featured.....oh I could cause a lot of damage in a building full of craft goodies it must be so hard to control your urges Sue to splurge indiscriminately , or will you be too busy to browse I wonder?
Lorraine, I have my fingers crossed that your cold keeps a low profile at least until your birthday passes, I hope your day lives up to your expectations and you have loads of fun. Never a good time to start a diet when birthday cake is on offer, take my advice, I've found a little bit of what you fancy does you the world of good:-)
Jan, you're quite right, life is too short...and I am way too thin...to be even contemplating cutting out the tastiest ingredient in my diet. I had pure thoughts and good intentions but I am fundamentally flawed and weak and my resolve was flimsy at best:-)
Theresa, I too have little self control and a HUGE collection of Sue dies as proof of my weaknesses...I can think of many character flaws that are far worse than this though, most of which I also have in abundance!
Yvonne, my old mucker, how are you dear girl? I'm missing your barbed comments and sparkling wit these past days, hope you are okay and not suffering from post Christmas blues or excesses...I don't think we've heard from you since Jakes impromptu dinner invitation, was it a trip to a KFC drive thru and you are too ashamed to show your face? Don't be embarrassed, it's the thought that counts:-) hugs honeyxxx
Hugs to Beth, Tracy, Melody, Wheely bad, Linda,you deserve the Wednesday giveaway as much as anyone!, Saba, Maria and anyone in need of a squeeze xxx

Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes ,
ReplyDeleteOh Sue I do love this card and although I don't have any of the dies to make it I am going to try it with other dies. The colour is gorgeous, in fact so much so that I have ordered up some of that iris coloured card as well as the wisteria and a packet of smoothies to play with, the colour scene just really took my eye today so just waiting on Joanna sending it out to me to have a play with.
Amazing what you can get done when you have no old man knarking at you every minute of the day, I have achieved more today with being back to my own way of doing things instead of him being on my back every minute of the day so I'm sorry flower that I haven't got in but I couldn't get a shot of a keyboard and screen with him being off.
Sending gentle hugs to all my lovely Wilsonettes that really could be doing with them
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered you from the information found on my latest purchase cygnus craft die. I was was wondering how to make the best use of it. Your instructions are really good and clear especially for someone like me who has difficulty trying to find the best use for my dies.... I will certainly be watching more of your videos for inspiration. Thank you
