Rose Frame
Hi crafters! Today's video shows you how to use portions of the Cathedral background to cut and shadow an aperture and the Blushing Rose die just accents it perfectly too.
The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. The roses are stunning. I didn't think I would need these as I have all your other flower dies but seeing this card has just made me change my mind lol. The colour combination is gorgeous. Thinking of you all. Take care everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Gorgeous card and lovely sentiments too. Sue you have set my mind going with ideas with this card and now I have to go to work which is very inconvenient as by the time I get home the urge to craft has gone. Hope you are ok, hugs xxx
Hello Sue and all very striking card. Love the colors and just like Denise I didn't think I needed more flower dies but you have shown me I was wrong lol ! Hugs Muriel x
Morning Sue. A beautiful card and great video, Thank you so much. I forgot about this die set. Take care Sue, time is a healer one day at a time. Kitty.
Really like this card, Sue. Thanks for the video, love your tip about the aperture shadow. Fab colours - at first didn't warm to the rose die, but have changed my mind totally! Really thinking white on white. Yeah. Constantly in my thoughts and sending big hugs, and for all your family.

Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I am going to save the video to watch tomorrow all snuggled up with a nice cup of tea. You are still in my thoughts and prayers. Be gentle with yourself. Take care. Hugs Jackie
A great video Sue. Love this card and the colours are gorgeous together. Don't have that embossing folder but will try with another one. Been wanting to use my rose dies so thank you for your inspiration My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Good morning Sue Beautiful card the rose die is gorgeous, just as I was wondering how you did the three colour aperture you answered my question lol! Belated condolences 'P' in Wales X Hope your okay Sue X Hugs x Heather T
A lovely card and a very striking colour combination. Thanks for the tip about offsetting oval cut outs to get the effect that you have shown. Like others, the more I see these flat rose dies in use the more I appreciate them especially when done in such dramatic colours.
Morning Sue ,unable to watch video my computer is telling me there is a problem. Will try later today. I have blushing rose die I've found it so useful. Gloria (Sidcup) xx
Hello Sue Lovely card, I will watch the Video now as its something to enjoy, on this this dark and wet Saturday morning! Thinking of you! Take care Love Marg
Hi Sue - a beautiful card and I love how you have used the oval die to make a shadow effect. Thank you for yet another very explanatory video. The embossing folder is one of my favourites and it's the one I use most. Thinking of you and sending best wishes, YvonneMayxx
Morning Sue, I love the effect this rose die gives, like others I didn't think I needed it at first, but seeing what can be done with it I have had a rethink. My thoughts and prayers are with you Sue, take care.
Hi Sue That a gorgeous card, beautiful colours and the roses looked 3D in the first picture, they work so well on this card. Lots of love and hugs Diane G xxxxx
Hi Sue. Lovely card. I have the Cathedral die and have used it without the centre and the centre on its own. But hadn't thought of using the ovals this way,xx
Lovely card today. My overall addiction are your floral dies that can be moulded and shaped into the most beautiful arrangement, but I know so many friends find this rose die more convenient for posting purposes.the birthday verse is lovely, so its time to start building up my verse collection.
Theresa says Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x A really gorgeous card today sue the colours are very striking x I love the look of the aperture and as usual will watch the video after my chores to see how you have created it x sending love and hugs sue x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
This is a very nice card, I'm looking forward to watching the video to see how it's done. :) So with that in mind, I'm off to make the usual cuppa so I can sit and watch you craft in comfort! Paula x (WelshPaula)
Hi Sue, Gorgeous card and love that poem...the Blushing Roses dies are on the wish list but they have just been moved up several places - perfect for posting!
Hi Sue, nice card again today. Thanks for showing a different idea for making the most of the apertures. Thank goodness for the videos to show exactly how it is done.
Morning Sue and the Wilsonettes, This is my kind of amount of black Sue, just touches which highlights the sections in the roses and the aperture that they sit in with the hint coming through at the back jsut to tie it all together. This is a lovely card Sue and the roses bring out that embossing folder just nicely. Now i maybe don't have the dies but i have the embossing folder, so it's a start and i have other oval dies that i can use and just make up your real roses instead of flat ones and bang i have something similar. The verse fits nicely in the middle of the oval apertures of the card flower making it a really lovely card that you could send to male or female as the flowers are not too girlie in design or colour. Sending hugs your way flower along with my prayers that you are as ok as you can be. Well folks it's a bit dreary here at the Ochils this morning with everything jsut sort of merging into each other, even my hills don't have any sort of definition today which is not usual so i hope that it cheers up a bit today. I am trying to finish an engagment card for Campbells nephew who got engaged to the lass he has a wee boy to. Although i don't give engagment presents any more i do like to give them a card but give them something decent when they marry. I stopped giving engagment gifts as it always seem to go pear shaped when i did so decided that it maybe wasn't a good idea. Anyway folks, i will leave you all with hugs to all Wilsonettes that could real do with them and even if you don't but just could do with one, love and crafty hugs Norah (glenochil village)
Hi Sue, What a corker of a card today! I just LOVE the roses and the colour card you chose is so right for them. I think that die set is going to find itself working up my wish list after seeing what a great effect you can achieve with them. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Sending love and hugs your way. Bejay xx
Beautiful, colorful card today, Sue and great video. Thank you. I received my Dorado, Mini Gemini Die yesterday and I'm so grateful for the win. I was like a kid in a candy store when I opened my package. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Hi Sue and all your crafty crew What a absolutely beautiful card Sue nor watched the video yet but I am soon going to remedy that lol Sending you hugs Sue. Theresa G x
Hi Sue, as usual another beautiful card, like the way you have used the verse as a focal element and the Roses are fabulous. Was not sure about them at first but love them now. Wendyx
Hi Sue I absolutely love the blushing rose die. This card is beautiful. I am really loving the dark splash of colour. I will watch the video when I am feeling a little more with it. Visited Marjorie last night. I have got to say it is pitiful to see her. It is the first time I have ever seen her looking frail. As I mentioned the other day she has always been unbelievable and not your average 94 year old. To see her now is so sad. I really do not know what will happen in the future but if I am completely honest at the moment it is really not looking too hopeful. Really feeling a bit low - more bad news - a friend phoned and her husband has had a heart attack and it is highly probable that he has suffered brain damage if he pulls through at all. Sorry to be doom and gloom x LAINE - I hope you are having a lovely time at Strictly. I am hoping you were not arrested for causing a public disturbance in your quest for a fumble with the rather dreamlike Gleb!! I am so on your wavelength as far as the 2.30 performance is concerned. As far as the length of time it takes to prepare for such outings is concerned - one can't rush perfection darling x Lots of love and sunny thoughts to everyone x Sending love and hugs to you Sue x Crafty hugs Yvonne x
Hi Sue, a lovely card with an acceptable amount of black :-) I have everything required except the oval die but I am sure I can find a suitable substitute. As much as I love your/my dimensional flowers I also love these rose dies as they are definitely better for posting without the worry that all your hard worked has been crushed at the sorting office.
Yvonne - sorry you are feeling so down at the moment, sunny thoughts returned to you for a brighter tomorrow.
A beautiful card love the deep wine colour "need" it !! Lol. My die arrived today thank you hoping to play with it tomorrow. Hope everything is going ok with you my thoughts are with you.
Hi Sue, Beautiful rose die and a beautiful card, like the way you used the oval frame especially the black part, that's another good idea. The lacy leaves look lovely with the solid roses too. Di B. x
Evening Sue, well I'm not sure where the last few days have gone, just looked at your missed posts, and I can say I love them all, especially the one using the Hannah die, how could I not with my daughter being called Hannah. Hope you are managing ok, and re,embarking to take time for yourself. Big hugs xx
Hello Sue, Just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hope you are getting through these black days. Happy memories will come back to you .... I promise. Your Mom was a very special lady, ..... She must have been, she had you and your brothers!!!
Love today's card and video. Thank you for for your inspiration.
Gorgeous card, I love this. will catch up with the demo on sunday when I have the house to myself and some lovely peace and quiet. but I am sure it is going to be fab and informative as always and am looking forward to watching it.
I love, love, love the colours. A lovely sentiment and the roses are so perfect, especially for cards that have to be posted.
I've been thinking of you and your family all week Sue, sending love and hugs from all of us.
P, I can't remember if I've already said, but I'm sorry for the loss of your cousin, hugs x
Yvonne G, what a rotten week. I hope everything turns out ok for your friends husband. Hugs xxx
Spent second half of the week getting over the first half. I had dinner with with the other half of my family tonight to belatedly celebrate my birthday. It was very nice but found out my Nanna is in hospital. I had this weird feeling about her all week but I'd promised to text her tomorrow anyway so as I knew she had a bad chest I thought I'd let her rest, plus I didn't want to worry her with my goings on. Going to text her first thing.
Off to bed now, shattered. I will try and be back soon. Sending every one of you a big hug and there's more here if you need them. Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.
Hi Sue. A stunning card today !!! I love the colours you have used. Fab video to, as always !!! I love all the beautiful dies and stamps you have used to create this gorgeous, beautiful card Sue.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful rose die and a beautiful card, like the way you used the oval frame especially the black part, that's another good idea. The lacy leaves look lovely with the solid roses too.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love the colours. A lovely sentiment and the roses are so perfect, especially for cards that have to be posted.
I've been thinking of you and your family all week Sue, sending love and hugs from all of us.
P, I can't remember if I've already said, but I'm sorry for the loss of your cousin, hugs x
Yvonne G, what a rotten week. I hope everything turns out ok for your friends husband. Hugs xxx
Spent second half of the week getting over the first half. I had dinner with with the other half of my family tonight to belatedly celebrate my birthday. It was very nice but found out my Nanna is in hospital. I had this weird feeling about her all week but I'd promised to text her tomorrow anyway so as I knew she had a bad chest I thought I'd let her rest, plus I didn't want to worry her with my goings on. Going to text her first thing.
Off to bed now, shattered. I will try and be back soon. Sending every one of you a big hug and there's more here if you need them. Hope you all have a lovely Sunday.
