Curved Frame Card
Hi guys! Today's card is a bit different with a lovely curve to it. Basically a "hand to" someone sort of card rather than post it, but it does make for a pretty presentation!
The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Lovely card, so beautiful. Love the curve too. Tracey hope the radiotherapy goes well, you are one very brave lady, keep going Hun. Daily hugs to all, especially Melody and Molly, special hugs to Tina and family and Theresa and family mourning their children, so sad
Hello all Love the curve on todays card, and I can see it with one of your beautiful new papers too Sue. I watched this video as soon as it appeared on You tube but definitely need a reminder viewing, Hugs Muriel x
Good morning Sue, Absolutely stunning card & the dimension you get with the curve draws you into the card. Truly stunning indeed a special one to be handed. Yvonne xx
Lovely card, Sue, do like the curved top. Really quite a fan of microbeaded papers - esp this Teresa Collins pad (which I have but generally just look at!) She was on C@C yesterday - selling a craft work station for £1000 less a penny - and I think they sold out!! It was fabulous for people with little space and lots of money. Thanks for the video, Sue, the card seems easier to achieve than it first appears. Tracy - wishing you well for the radiotherapy starting today. Our furry friends - Lauren and Scamp, hope they continue to improve.
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Yes another unusual card, colours pretty, this card deserves a nice box for it to go in. Never used micro beads will have to get some. Happy crafting Love and crafty hugs Tina T xxxx
What a great idea for a give to card, and so pretty. I'm up early for some very special visitors from Australia so will watch the video later !! LOL. Thank you Sue. Xx
Hi Sue. Beautiful card, love the curve effect. Love cards with texture so am a very happy bunny when the microbeads come out! Tracy - good luck with the radiotherapy, your positive attitude shines through your comments. Pats to our poorly 4 legged friends Scamp and Lauren. Hugs to all. Sue XXX
Hi Sue, todays video is brilliant, showing how to create this gorgeous card. Love the dimension created by the curve, and fabulous paper and combination of dies. Have a lovely day. Bx
Hi Sue. The past few days have been really hard healthiest but your breath taking cards have lifted my spirits. Phone decided to disconnect from WiFi and I'd not noticed consequently used all my contract allowance ! But lovely phone guys gave me 500mb to use till April 2nd how far that will get me I've no idea I'm not the best when technology is concerned but the bigger the app etc the more megabytes are used, so I shall be popping in but may only leave the odd very quick comment, no essay from me lol. Hope you are ok Sue. Sending my love as usual xx
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love the effect you have achieved. It would be lovely to hand a card like this to someone. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue Love using dies differently so this is a lovely card today! Needs a box though - luckily i got some A3 card delivered a few days ago. Love the colours. Good luck to all who are not well and have a good one out there everyone! Anne M xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh a very big WOW for this card today, just watched the video and I must say it looks so much easier to us the acetate as the folds instead of cardstock which is what I have used in the past for these types of cards, I am going to be trying this one out, and also I liked the papers you used too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue, Another stunning card today, I do love this die set, then again I love all of your dies/stamps/embossing folders. I love the idea of curved cards, I have one I made ages ago and cannot store it with the others I need to make a box for it. So it sits on display in my craft room. Thank you for sharing your designs with us, they give me so much inspiration. Have a lovely day Maggie
Morning Sue ,will have to watch video later but just wanted to say WOW !! lovely card .I have the Cathedral die and will try to make this card it is stunning .Tracy wishing you well today .Gloria (Sidcup) xx
Love that extra dimension you've created with the curve and it makes the most of the Cathedral Background too - not that that die needs any enhancing as it's so gorgeous even when used flat...this is one card for the nearest and dearest and at least you'd be there to see their reaction!...lol
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card sue I love the curve x will watch the video later after I have done my chores which seem to have been a little neglected x A little late but congratulations to all the winners from the weekend xxx A really big thankyou to all your wishes they have been such a huge comfort and although i dont know you all personally you all have a place in my heart x my nephew jake ( who was 14 not 13 sorry for the typo ) wasn't in any pain and left us peacefully in his sleep x just finding it really hard to talk about x Hope all the wilsonettes are well and sending hugs to all that want some x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
An unusual but great card which as, as you said, ideal for handing directly to a recipient. Nice to have a patterned background especially one enhanced by the microbeads. Must try this sometime. Just about to finish making an anniversary card on behalf of my mum and reckon these small orange blossom flowers will set it off nicely, thanks for making me think of that.
Morning Sue. I love this card. This was the reason, when I first saw it on the launch of the dies, that I had to get the Cathedral Background die. Thank you
Hi Sue & lovely Wilsonettes***Wow Sue, Pretty indeed, in fact I would go so far as to say that this divine work of art is a heavenly creation of blissful pleasure, & for this one (as with all of your phenomenal creations) you certainly have my heartfelt & unconditional gratification for sharing this & the video with us. I adore the Cathedral die, it is ONE of my absolute favourites, I have so many*Lol & without a shadow of a doubt you do this magnificent beauty an incredible justice. I can visualise this in a presentation box with the Cathedral die & acetate on the lid, thanks for the tip, by the way, on cutting the acetate I have tried this before without success but now know that it was slightly too thick to work as it should do, but now with your wonderful tip it will be onward & upward to triumphant victory (once I buy the thinner acetate that is). The Teresa Collins pad looks delightful but by all accounts of the comments on your blog Sue it cannot be as delicious & as delightful as your own paper pad. Love the word ‘EYEBALL’ Sue it tickles me into a chuckle every time I hear it spoken x x x
I’m happy to report my friends (fingers crossed) that Lauren has come on in leaps & bounds, last night, for the first time since Friday aft’ she brought her ball out of the toy box to play, she splats it with her paw to us & we have to gently tippy toe it back to her, she’s a footballer in the making I think as you will see in Sept’ LAINE x, this way she keeps her muscles supple, plays to her own pace & can stop & rest when she wants to. ALISON*(((cuddles))) galore for your brave little SCAMP, I shall be thinking of you both on Thursday & pray that all will be well, thank you for Lauren’s cuddles she returns them tenfold to you both & also to FLUFFYCAT*dearest LORRAINE* ‘P’ IN WALES*CRAFTYSUETOO*(hope I haven’t missed anyone)x x x
SUSAN WHITE* LYNDA B*LAINE*Hope you’re feeling on top of the world again my friends special(((HUGS)))xxx TRACEY* I wish you all the luck in the world with your treatment today, you have been very brave & resilient throughout & I think you deserve special (((HUGS))) to help you through x x x Special (((HUGS))) to THERESA W* TINA* MELODY & Family*** always in my thoughts & for anyone who needs a (((HUGGLES))) I’m sending them right to you x x x x x YVONNE G* if you get to read this sincerely hope that you are enjoying your holiday & the weather is being kind to you x x x
Looks like the little birdie was singing sweetly after all with regards to these impending new dies, myyyyyy mistake, you are all simply buzzing with eager anticipation, looks like I shall retrieve my hat sooner rather than later after all, it may already be buzzing with expectation but where was I when all this exhilaration began Lol x
Well I must close for now my friends Love ‘n’ (((HUGS))) to you all, to all adorable 4-Paws & to you & your family Sue. Take care Beth B x x x x x
Lovely card Sue. I bought the cathedral die last time I went to creative expressions Ai Kettering. Where we spent a lovely morning, must try this. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day everybody Hugs Sylvia xx
Hi Sue - this card is absolutely beautiful. Love the bowed idea and haven't attempted one yet but after watching your video I think I will give it a try. I'm almost at the end of my Teresa Collins paper pad but have another one in stock!! same as your paper pads!! Great to see the microbeads again too. Thank you for your wonderful inspiration. Sending best wishes YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue Wow wow wow this card is a running I love the cathedral die! I'm looking forward to seeing your new collection can't wait to see what delights you have in store for us!
Hi Sue What a beautiful card today, it looks really impressive and would certainly raise a wow when the box is opened. The orange blossom flowers are really cute too. It's nice to see microbeads again having their moment. Thank you for sharing Love Diane G xxx
Such a pretty card Sue, but you're right, not one to post! :) There was a time when this style of card was popular, but not for some time now. Lovely to see it again. Off now to get my cup of tea so I can watch the video in comfort. Sending hugs to all in need today. Paula x (WelshPaula)
Hi Sue Wow wow wow this card is a running I love the cathedral die! I'm looking forward to seeing your new collection can't wait to see what delights you have in store for us!
Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes, This is a pretty card Sue with the little orange blossom going up across the frame and sentiment and that wee bit different with the bow in the card by the acetate. The micro beads mute the brightness of the paper which for me is more pleasing to the eye as Teresa's papers are quite bright for my taste. Thank you flower for bringing such a lovely card to us from your inspiring mind. What a gorgeous day we have up here in Central Scotland with my hills just so bold against the sky that they look like the sky is a picture with the hills being a 3d model put in front of it. Yesterday i had a wonderful day out with my other 3 Mary's who came down and across to see me, boy do those beautiful ladies do me the power of good and brighten up my day and days for long after they are gone home again. I have sore sides with all the giggling and laughing that they bring, what a brilliant day. Today i can get all my house work done that never seen a hoover or duster yesterday, hee hee but that is what you do and lets face it i would much rather be seeing them and enjoying their company than that off Mr Dyson(who has a mind all of his own) or Mr Sheen and his duster. Have a lovely day everyone with hugs to all our WIlsonette friends who need them love and crafty hugs Norah x
Good Morning Sue, well the sun is out though its a bit chilly at least its dry. Todays card is so pretty, love the paper youve used it really sets the card of, its just stunning. hugs Shirleyxxxxxx
Good morning/afternoon Sue and your amazing Wilsonettes! Wow, beautiful card today Sue. Thank you for the inspiration. Life is a little hectic right now so haven't had time to catch up with posts. Hope all are well!!! Today, I'm officially a three year survivor and I'm feeling blessed.
Eye catching. Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. What an effective finish. The arch in the card puts me in mind of a card we made some years back when I joined you for a demo at Jays Crafts (Julia) called 'under the sea'. We then used acetate instead of card to give the arch. Thank you.
Fab use of a wonderful die that I am happy to own. I must get some stuff done with card and dies today. I am not feeling great again, it just keeps niggling away. I even had to cancel an appointment as I am not even up to sprucing myself up. Very frustrating. One of my niece's is in hospital due to pain and my eldest daughter is suffering too so something is upsetting our bodies. Sending love n hugs all round xxx
Hi Sue Lovely lovely card. Love the dies, and I see you've used a piece of background card from the Theresa Collins pepper pad. I used this one a few weeks ago. To nice to use these papers. Have to force myself to use them.
Hi, Sue, Hi, Wilsonettes...goodness, what an elegant card today. It's beautiful and I can't wait to go and watch the video to see if I'll be able to make anything that resembles the finished card lol. Amaryllis watch: the first flower stem looks like it's ready to burst open any minute. I'm thinking of turning the heating up today as I would love to walk into the front room tomorrow morning to find it in flower for my birthday :)...fingers crossed everyone. Bejay xx
Like the curved front & I hand deliver as many cards as possible, so one I could try. Haven't watched the video but will do so shortly. Must also get my microbe ads out as I haven't used them yet.
Hope you are OK Tracy after your treatment. My heart goes out to you & your family Teresa (I must have missed the post, sorry! ) also to Tina as it would seem she has also had a very sad loss. Nothing worse than watching love ones die, but tragic when it is such a young person.
Another brilliant card Sue, I loved that curved idea of the focal piece in the front and the sentiment nestled in the inside.....those little flowers just finish it off....beautiful...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, Lovely card, really like the bowed front although like you say it is a personal hand over card and not one to be posted thanks to the high prices nowadays. Thanks for all of Scamp's good wishes, she's curled up tight fast asleep at the moment bless her. Xx Beth, really pleased that Lauren seems on the road to recovery, they are such a worry aren't they. Sending big gentle cuddles from Scamp and I. Xxx Theresa! Tina, you are both in my thoughts and prayers xxx Tracy, hope the radiotherapy has gone well xxxx Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
A lovely card, shapes cards do look very special. I hope you're well Sue, sending hugs from myself and Billy xxx
Theresa, sincere condolences xxx sending love to Tina and family, thinking of you every day. Billy sends you the biggest cuddles he got xxx
Lynda, big hugs from me and cuddles from Billy xxx
Tracy, best of luck for the radio therapy, big hugs xxx
Big hugs to everyone feeling under the weather xxx
Billy send paw hugs to Scamp and Lauren xxx
Mr migraine has been back with a vengeance. I just about got away with the wedding reception after a few days in n bed. Been thumping again since but I know it's been so long so I came to say hello. Will try be back asap but until then know I send all of you big hugs and happy crafting. Sending extra hugs and a hand to hold to those who need them.
Hi Sue and all your crafty crew Well today's card is absolutely beautiful I don't know how you manage to create so many different designs from your dies Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us all Take care all Theresa xx

HI SUE SO ELEGANT. THINK WOULD TAKE CURVE TO BOTTOM OF CARD SO STANDS UP. LOVE IT. GRAND IDEA. FAB VIDEO TOO. GOOD JOB BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Hi Sue, Love, love, love this card, I like any card with acetate, but I particularly love the way you have made this one, love the colour as well and the pattern on the backing. Di B. x
Good Evening, Sue A beautiful card today using one of my favourite dies! I love the acetate curve and will have to try this as it will be a great idea for "special occasion cards" to be delivered in a box! Lesley S x
Hi Sue, sorry to be so late today, I popped by this morning but wanted to watch the video before commenting. A beautiful card, very pretty and delicate. I love the cathedral die, hoping to get this and the lattice window next month. I do use acetate, mostly at Christmas or in box lids, but have never cut out the centre - a whole new world has opened up for me.
I love this acetate fronted card. So unusual. The colours from the paper pad muted with micro beads, and the delicate pink of those gorgeous flowers make it really pretty.
Another gorgeous and different card, I love the way it stands out making it very eye catching. definitely going to try this one as I think it is going to become a favourite. And those tiny flowers are gorgeous too.
Lovely card, so beautiful. Love the curve too.
ReplyDeleteTracey hope the radiotherapy goes well, you are one very brave lady, keep going Hun.
Daily hugs to all, especially Melody and Molly, special hugs to Tina and family and Theresa and family mourning their children, so sad
Lovely card Sue, just lovely!

Thank you flower for bringing such a lovely card to us from your inspiring mind.
What a gorgeous day we have up here in Central Scotland with my hills just so bold against the sky that they look like the sky is a picture with the hills being a 3d model put in front of it. Yesterday i had a wonderful day out with my other 3 Mary's who came down and across to see me, boy do those beautiful ladies do me the power of good and brighten up my day and days for long after they are gone home again. I have sore sides with all the giggling and laughing that they bring, what a brilliant day. Today i can get all my house work done that never seen a hoover or duster yesterday, hee hee but that is what you do and lets face it i would much rather be seeing them and enjoying their company than that off Mr Dyson(who has a mind all of his own) or Mr Sheen and his duster.
Have a lovely day everyone with hugs to all our WIlsonette friends who need them
love and crafty hugs

Good morning/afternoon Sue and your amazing Wilsonettes! Wow, beautiful card today Sue. Thank you for the inspiration. Life is a little hectic right now so haven't had time to catch up with posts. Hope all are well!!! Today, I'm officially a three year survivor and I'm feeling blessed.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day everyone.
Hugs to all!
Eye catching. Thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. What an effective finish. The arch in the card puts me in mind of a card we made some years back when I joined you for a demo at Jays Crafts (Julia) called 'under the sea'. We then used acetate instead of card to give the arch. Thank you.

Fab use of a wonderful die that I am happy to own. I must get some stuff done with card and dies today.
ReplyDeleteI am not feeling great again, it just keeps niggling away. I even had to cancel an appointment as I am not even up to sprucing myself up. Very frustrating. One of my niece's is in hospital due to pain and my eldest daughter is suffering too so something is upsetting our bodies.
Sending love n hugs all round xxx
Hi Sue

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely card. Love the dies, and I see you've used a piece of background card from the Theresa Collins pepper pad. I used this one a few weeks ago. To nice to use these papers. Have to force myself to use them.
Hi, Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi, Wilsonettes...goodness, what an elegant card today. It's beautiful and I can't wait to go and watch the video to see if I'll be able to make anything that resembles the finished card lol.
Amaryllis watch: the first flower stem looks like it's ready to burst open any minute. I'm thinking of turning the heating up today as I would love to walk into the front room tomorrow morning to find it in flower for my birthday :)...fingers crossed everyone.

Blown away!! I am in love with this curved card! The lovely green paper, the curve and the dies used all add up to a magical card! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue.
ReplyDeleteLovely Card. I love the bow front, the dies and colour are great as are the pretty blossoms. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Oh how pretty...it adds so much to the card....

This is a very pretty card that definitely doesn't want to go through the post! Spring colours
ReplyDeleteLike the curved front & I hand deliver as many cards as possible, so one I could try. Haven't watched the video but will do so shortly. Must also get my microbe ads out as I haven't used them yet.
ReplyDeleteHope you are OK Tracy after your treatment.
My heart goes out to you & your family Teresa (I must have missed the post, sorry! ) also to Tina as it would seem she has also had a very sad loss. Nothing worse than watching love ones die, but tragic when it is such a young person.
Very clever card technique...like a shadowbox. Jan D., Florida, USA
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card! As soon as I saw it I thought this technique would make a beautiful Easter card.
ReplyDeleteAnother brilliant card Sue, I loved that curved idea of the focal piece in the front and the sentiment nestled in the inside.....those little flowers just finish it off....beautiful...luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a very unusual card Sue! Thank you for yet another brilliant idea! Hugs Gilly x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card, really like the bowed front although like you say it is a personal hand over card and not one to be posted thanks to the high prices nowadays.
Thanks for all of Scamp's good wishes, she's curled up tight fast asleep at the moment bless her. Xx
Beth, really pleased that Lauren seems on the road to recovery, they are such a worry aren't they. Sending big gentle cuddles from Scamp and I. Xxx
Theresa! Tina, you are both in my thoughts and prayers xxx
Tracy, hope the radiotherapy has gone well xxxx
Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Hi Sue, I really really love this card! Love the background, love the colour, love the dies!! Love, Ivy C x

Mr migraine has been back with a vengeance. I just about got away with the wedding reception after a few days in n bed. Been thumping again since but I know it's been so long so I came to say hello.

Take care

What a lovely card, Sue!!!! WOW!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood Evening, Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card today using one of my favourite dies!
I love the acetate curve and will have to try this as it will be a great idea for "special occasion cards" to be delivered in a box!

Hi Sue. Beautiful jade and white card. Micro beads give a perfect finish. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, sorry to be so late today, I popped by this morning but wanted to watch the video before commenting. A beautiful card, very pretty and delicate. I love the cathedral die, hoping to get this and the lattice window next month. I do use acetate, mostly at Christmas or in box lids, but have never cut out the centre - a whole new world has opened up for me.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone has had a good day, sleep well.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteI love this acetate fronted card. So unusual. The colours from the paper pad muted with micro beads, and the delicate pink of those gorgeous flowers make it really pretty.
Enjoyed watching the video too. Thank you.
Love Helen xxx

ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed the video as always.
