For You

 Good Sunday morning all!  Here's another way in which to use the Intertwining Circle Striplet.  It makes a great Stained Glass feature on your cards.  I cut the striplet in white and glued a piece of acetate to the back of it.  From the back, I filled in areas with Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue and added glitter to them, then tapped off the excess.  you need to start with your darkest colours first, then work towards the lighter ones, that way the glitter won't change colour if you put the lighter colour over the darker ones that were done first.  I used various shades of polished silk glitter for this in shades of gold, copper, bronze and silver.  I let it dry overnight then added it to the bottom of my card.  For the focal element, I cut the Grace die in white and added a ginger card backing to make a frame with the larger die.  I cut the smaller one just out of the card so it can be seen through the frame.  I stamped my sentiment and used the smallest die to give it a frame and mounted it on foam and placed it in the centre.  I also used the outermost die and embossed it into the backing of the card for a little extra detail.  Finally I cut two of the corners from the Elegant Lace Edger and added them to the sides of the frame as accents.  I completed the card with a pierced white mat, a thin ginger card mat and another white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card,love the colours of the glitters on this one.

Steph Cotterill said...

WOW ! Love it. You sure know how to change opinions Sue, this die I was unsure of when I first saw it, but the samples you have made with it has put this little devil on my list now. Whatever you need from this die it gives whether it be modern or retro, male or female cards, this die just keeps giving, I need it. Today's sample is clean and fresh looking even though shades of brown have been used it throws out the freshness of the coconut white, I love it.

You must still be living in the world of disbelief Sue, and trying to make sense of what's happened,I want you to know that you're in my heart and thoughts everyday.

Sending my usual hugs dear friend.

It's funny how a specific design can instantly make you think man's card. Whenever I see this striplet I think that. Then added with these colours even more so a man's card and I so struggle with men's cards and what to do. This is fast becoming a firm favourite. Lovely as ever.

Hi sue.

I love the look of the striplet part it does look retro. You've shown us loads to do with that particular one and the more I see it the more i want it.
I'm fast becoming addicted to just buying the dies rather than using them. I know it's silly I'll get round to using them eventually.
I don't think hubby realises just how many I have! Lol

Yvonne g. Sorry your going through a gloomy time the now. Things will perk up again. I do hope your friend Marjorie is ok. It's not till they're in hospital you realise how frail people are.

Laine. Hope u had a fab time at strictly show and enjoyed looking at all the talent!! And no I wasn't referring to the dancing! Lol

Wheely. Hope ur nana is alright xx

Glenharon said...

Dearest Sue and the wilsonettes,
NOw why can't i get my favourite style of top made up with these colours as i am more than partial to the varying shades of cinnimon going through to brown shades but of course brown isn't the in colour at the moment. Ah well never mind i will justt need to enjoy your card instead and use that imagination of mine that runs wild at times. Your card is beautiful Sue with the metallics so neatly into their spaces and the top die looking like a "quaich" (a Scots drinking cup normal for whisky and used at wedding ceremonies or given as a christening gift or 18/21 gift to a man or baby boy). Sorry Sue as it's very few times you don't get one of my little gems of imagination or memories but i bet that a few of our Scottish Wilsonettes will see it now that i have pointed it out. Thank you for todays inspired piece of WOW as you set the brain clanking into operation once more. Take care dear friend and sending you hugs and my prayers.
Well folks we have a right miserable day here at Glenochil and the rotten weather has pinched my lovely hills once more so i hope that wherever you are today you are having a more pleasant day weather wise. I received my prize yesterday and had a wee shot of cutting them out before i got called yet once more by O.H. who thinks he has the flu when all he has is a bad cold which is all baby Harry's fault so O.H. says, poor bairn. I'll tell you i'm awful glad he didn't have a bell beside his bed becuase i would have lost the bell right down his throat. My little legs are painful today with all the climbing yesterday, thank goodness i don't have any more stairs or flights than just the one as the legs would have given up the ghost long before they did.
Sending hugs to all my Wilsonette friends who could do with a hug or just want one to know that someone is thinking of them.
Love and crafty hugs

Love the card but can't get my head round the glitter/stained glass technique. Any chance of a video or is there one I've missed maybe?

fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, I remember this gorgeous card from the die launch back in November. I loved it then and still love it now. The stained glass technique is so easy but so very effective. Since you first showed it to us with the Italian collection (I think it was that one) I have used it with several striplets and other dies. All it requires is patience but it is so worth it.

Thinking of you and your family and hoping that you are managing to come to terms with your loss.

Unknown said...

Good afternoon dearest Sue and the lovely Wilsonettes,

There's so much to love about today's card, everything from the composition...I adore a channel card...to the colours....so rich and autumnal with just a hint of retro charm....to the dies which are simply scrumptious....I will most definitely be purchasing the circular striplet just as soon as my purse strings untangle themselves again:-) I really should try the stained glass technique as I have some polished silk glitters gathering dust in my craftroom, whilst they're not in these beautifully rich colours, more pastel shades, I think the finished product would still work well. Thanks for even more fabulous ideasxxxxx
I'm afraid life has taken a cruel twist for me the past few days, we were all set to be Strictlyfied yesterday when we got a phone call from my brother saying that he couldn't take us:-( You see, my Step mother had called him saying that my Dad had had a series of strokes a few weeks ago and a heart attack on Friday and that he probably wouldn't last the night. He didn't want anyone to know but she took the decision to tell us anyway since things were very bleak. My brother had to drive down to Liverpool from Stirlingshire overnight to see him and now I am just waiting for the call to say that he has passed away. The strokes have left him paralysed down one side and unable to swallow or breathe on his own so the doctors want to withdraw treatment....he has untreatable lymphoma as well....he's only 69 which is relatively young nowadays, life can be so cruel.
I don't want to put a downer on the blog, especially after such a traumatic week for Sue, who is still in my thoughts and prayers, but some people may wonder why I hadn't gone to Strictly after all. I can now appreciate the special kind of heartache involved with losing a parent and empathise with you Sue at such a dreadful time. I hope that our prayers have given you the strength to cope and that your memories will be of some comfort to you in time, as I hope that mine will be but at the moment I am in a daze.
I will try my best to continue to comment, it may prove a comfort and distraction for me, but I just wanted to explain the reason behind any absence on my part in the coming days/weeks.
Sending cuddles to all my good buddies, I won't name names just now but you know who you arexxxxx and special hugs to anyone going through sad times, ill health, bereavements etcxxxxx

Love and crafty hugs

I love it! This is exactly why I want the circles striplet... For colour, glitter, pearlescants, mica... Aaaaah! I think its very 60's, a bit Mary Quant even. The whole card is very pretty and very achievable.

Sending you the biggest hugs Sue, and to all your family. Nothing I say will take away the sense of loss I know, just know I'm thinking of you all XXX

Tracy, lol I buy a lot of dies (and other stuff) I haven't used yet! I think of it as having incentive value. Thanks for asking about Nanna, I hope you're OK too, hugs XXX

Laine, life is so unfair sometimes. To know that the next call could be *that* call... Thinking of you, your Dad and all your family at such a sad time. Reaching out to give you a big comforting hug xxx

Molly, Melody and family, hugs xxx

My Nanna today informed me she's a "tough old bird" (proper Suffolker, my Nan) apparently having fluid drained from her lungs won't be holding her back for long. She intends to be home in a couple of days and driving again not long after. Her husband is a fair few years younger so I know he'll be able to keep an eye and not let her rush things.

Sending hugs to everybody, My thoughts with everyone having a tough or sad time, extra special hugs to you XXX

Hi Sue. WOW !!! Another fantastic card !!! This is another card that I would really love to have a go at making Sue, just like yesterday's card !!! I just cannot wait until pay day when I am hoping to buy the Grace set of dies that I have wanted since I very first saw them. (They have now reached the top of my list.) I also love the intertwining circles Striplet as I just love the wonderful pattern of it. As you have done Sue, I think it is a great die to use with glitters or even using your infill technique where you fill in the die patterns with different colours of the same die pieces. ( Which I really love to do as I find it very calming and therapeutic.) Some fantastic patterns and colour combinations can be created making a different card every time using the exact same dies !!! I do love to get great value from my dies. I love your Elegant lace edger dies to. Basically I love all your dies Sue. (Sorry I hope I got the name right.) Well I really hope I can make something similar to both yesterdays and today's cards Sue. I have both male and female Birthdays coming up
soon. Thank you for sharing another beautiful card today Sue. I am thinking of you everyday. Sending you lots of love and hugs from Tres x x x

Hi Sue
Well I told you that I didn't like this striplet but somehow it sort of grows on me. Liked it when you did the gradation with the glitters too!

Hi Sue and the amazing Wilsonettes! Sue, this card is beautiful and I can't wait to try this glitter on acetate technique!!! Sending comforting hugs your way.

Yvonne, I know it's so hard to see someone you love losing a battle. Hugs!
Laine, my heart goes out to you. Your dad is such a young man and I know your heart is breaking.
Wheely Bad, it sounds like your Nanna is on the "road" to recovery. Sounds like she'll be driving before long. Hugs.
Norah, stay safe in the bad weather. Men make the worst patients...one sneeze and they think they're dying lol. Good luck with that.
Tracy, I,too have many more dies than I have actually used. At least I know they're there if I need them.

Have to go now, the Super Bowl is about to begin!
Hugs to all and pleasant dreams

Gorgeous card. Love the way you've used the Intertwining Circles die, so reminds me of the '60's. Must give this a try.
Take care everyone.

I really do like that striplet die - it reminds me so much of a 60s design, and every time you use it, it's like a different die! Thanks so much, Susan x

Unknown said...

Love this, a great way to use this striplet, it seems to be a natural way to use it.

lorraine (classylady) said...

Oh Sue this is a brilliant card.Like others I see the swinging sixties in it, I also think it has a look of Art Deco. Colours are great. Thinking of you and your Daughter and family. Take care Sue
