Hi bloggers! Many of the dies from my range have coordinating stamps to go with them. Today's card shows off one of the stamps that has been designed to go with the Alexandra die set. Stamps provide beautiful detail to your die cuts and are a great addition to your card making too!
The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Love the card, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBack to work today 😔
Big hugs to all especially Melidy, Molly, Tracey, Tina and all who just need a hug.
So pretty Sue, i love todays card.

Nice card, Sue, and thanks for the video - really should attempt more stamping, you make it look so easy! Have had so many bungled tries, mainly get extra bits where there shouldn't be - maybe better taking the card to the stamp as you have shown.
ReplyDeleteLaine, thanks for asking. Pushy (always so confident, loving and THERE - typical of hand-reared kittens) is just quieter but wants to be on a lap all of the time, so we try to oblige, of course. She gets on with all the other cats so always has a friend to cuddle up to when we can't be with her. Will only say we have 'lots'.
Hugs and good week wishes to all.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today and love the video, I am not a great stamper so this hopefully will help me and encourage me to try a bit harder to crack it. The stamp design on this one is really lovely.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Very nice card Sue. I don't stamp too much, but after watching your video, maybe I should have another go.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Lovely card and great video. Sue XXX
ReplyDeleteGM Sue. Love the stamp and those borders. Will watch video later.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue. Stamps do add interest to dies I'm not very good at it. Will be watching video later. JJxx

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA very pretty card. Love the stamp. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue
I did a lot of stamping years ago before dies were thought of, so I still try sometimes to combine the two techniques. Love the card.

Morning dear Sue.
ReplyDeleteYes you're right the stamp to die for finishes off the centre die beautifully. I've never tried taking card to stamp, but it's a valuable tip for those of us with dodgy hands. Never been a confident stamped so why I put myself in the most nerve racking situations at market just beats me lol. Every time I buy a new sentiment/verse stamp set from the CE gang I cut your dies and stamp up the centre or flags with the new stamp, pop them in my box ready to offer to add a wedding/anniversary/birthday verse in the card for the customer at market. So, couple but a wedding card for their son, this Muppet offers to stamp a Phill wedding verse for them... who forgets she has already got the particular verse they wanted that they chose off the stamp set I took already stamped on your heart of heart dies ? Yep, me !!! Then nerves kick in, I start shaking like crazy thinking 'if I mess this up the card is wrecked. So I ask if they have more stalls to look at whilst I get their card ready and off they toddle to browse the market. Sue,i cant tell you how sick i felt lol. So i took your heart die, inked up and stamped while it was quiet around my table BINGO - sorted lol. Andy looked at me with massive eyes, mouth agog, and said "never in 35yrs have I seen you shake SO much" he said you've gone grey lol. Anyway they where thrilled to bits lol if only they knew how I'd suffered for their son lol. An hour later whilst tidying up and killing time what did I remember ? My box, there staring at me with my pre-stamped, die cut verses ! So next month my stamp sheets will stay at home, and the sign with pre-cut dies with verse will cover the whole of the box so i dont forget its there, and NEVER will i make myself feel so ill again for someone 's family member lol. One valuable lesson learnt... don't take stamps to market if you've already pre stamped in the comfort of your home away from gawking eye's lol.
Sorry about the essay but I had to annoy everyone by showing just how stupid I really am when it comes to stamping, so your hints and tips are more useful than you know Sue.
Hope you have a good day. Sending my usual hugs xx
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card today you really do spoil us with all of your stunning designs.
i shall be crafting with my.Grandsons this afternoon. So lots of fun to be had.

Hi Sue, Beautiful card , love Jean Z xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteWow - what a stunner. And a video to look forward to - have a few to catch up on but I am not complaining.
This colour combination is so soft and graceful. I know some people are not keen on black but I think it makes the card really pop.
I cannot tell you how excited I am for Friday - only 3 more sleeps. You are so going to make this week a good one. What have you in store for us?
Just in case anyone was wondering what my disastrous little saga was on Saturday evening that rendered me forlorn and out of action - here goes x
Got back from a wonderful weeks holiday on the beautiful Isle of Wight about 3.30pm on Saturday afternoon. We stayed in a caravan park which is based in St Helens and is so tranquil and overlooks the sea and there is a mill pond wall that you can walk across to a national trust common and a beach café.
The boys made good use the expanse of grass over the wall by playing Frisbee most days. This is an activity that would probably not be entertained back in Croydon but something happens in the Isle of Wight that certainly brings out the inner child in the boys and makes for a marvellous atmosphere and relaxing break for all. When Steve was alive we would visit the Island twice a year so it is bittersweet that he is no longer with us but it does bring back so many happy memories. We have booked again for next year and I am already looking forward to it.
So returned on Saturday afternoon, exhausted but relieved that I had planned ahead and booked a shopping delivery from Asda between 6 and 8pm. A weight off my mind as there was no food in the house - sorted. Our lovely neighbour and good friend Pat, who had been looking after the dog had put milk in the fridge and made us a curry and fried rice which was a welcome surprise. Her curries are legendary and in my opinion could be likened to the food of the God's, especially when one returns from holiday and after such a chilled and worry free week is back into the routine of getting fed up with trying to think of what to cook.
Bags unpacked, washing machine on and a dirty beach filled line of laundry piles queuing down the length of the hall patiently waiting to be washed on the most intensive programme my faithful and most treasured and overused kitchen appliance could muster. A milky coffee and a sit down with my feet up in preparation for the arrival of an extensive order of food that would last an average household a week, (but not this house with my boys)!!!
Sorry for those of you who are bored but this is the short version and I am going to split my comment - Sorry Sue x
I patiently waited but when 8pm arrived and there had been no knock on the door, I became a little concerned. I am always, hopeful that I will be greeted by a vision of a young, Adonis like hunk, dressed from head to toe in a green Asda uniform delivering my necessities but am always left despondent. When I logged on to the website there was a reassuring message telling me that my shopping was on it's way. So it was obviously going to be a little late - after all they were probably very busy as there would be no supermarkets open on Easter Sunday. I decided that the best course of action was to give them a call to find out if some light could be shed on the situation.
ReplyDeleteTook me ages to get through - frustrating me further. I eventually made contact with the powers that be who took all my details and asked if it would be ok to call me by my first name - of course I said. I was put on hold for 7 minutes whilst the situation was investigated and then Justin (the customer care rep) came back on the line and said - 'I'm really sorry YVETTE but I am afraid your shopping will not be delivered this evening'!!!!!
Normally being called by the wrong name is something that is a misunderstanding but to call me by the wrong name and then inform me I will be without food and toilet roll is not funny. After venting my anger somewhat I was put on hold again, briefly, Justin came back on the line and called me Yvette again. At this point I insisted on speaking to his manager. I will admit to not being polite but will not repeat what I said through fear of upsetting those of you with a delicate disposition.
Justin's manager was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard as he followed his (badly written) script apologising and assuring me that he would do everything in his power to find out what had happened. My response was once again, discourteous and the conversation finished with a promise of a phone call from another manager on Monday morning and asking what time I would like my shopping delivered on Monday.
All I will say is thank goodness for the generosity of Pat's curry and her over generous portion sizes which was an obvious lifesaver. The boys are not nice when hungry. She also helped out on the toilet roll front - lol x
Anyway - I did get a phone call from a manager(Robin), yesterday morning, who followed another script, gave me a £15 voucher to use on my next online Asda shop and promised me that this would never happen again. I did point out that I felt this was a foolish statement and guarantee on her part as I had her name and would hold her personally responsible!
Had it not been Easter weekend this would not caused such a problem but I got so wound up about the whole thing that it did trigger a bad day on Sunday and a restless Monday. I am feeling brighter now but would like you all to boycott Asda in support of my indignation at their incompetence and unbelievable customer service x
I am at present waiting for Tesco to deliver my weeks groceries and hoping that their will be no mishaps as I will not be held responsible for my actions. I told Asda where they could stick their order when they offered to deliver it on Monday - after all I wanted it on Saturday!!
As a distraction I am going to have a blog session and check out all the cards I missed whilst I was away and try and catch up on what has been happening with our Wilsonette family in my absence.
I am still trying to wade my way through the washing but hopeful from the view out of the window that I will be able to hang some on the line.
Have a good day everyone - smiles and love x

Hi Sue. I love the coordination of stamp and die its very effective. Its good to see and the card is very effective. Luv jxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and many thanks for another lovely card - just love the colours too.
ReplyDeleteSue Mac
Beautiful. I love the Stamps to Die For. I have quite a few now. I used the Lily Corner one to do my Easter cards, and one friend (who is not a crafter) thought I'd done the cutting by hand with scissors! I'm not that patient or steady handed!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and crafter all,
ReplyDeleteWell you have done it again, what a fab card. Love the colour way.
I too had a problem stamping then I stumbled by a product from fiskars! It is a stamping board ( large and small) with foam rubber in the corners - the stamp goes on the underside, ink up as normal then press down onto your required card. Clean image every time. Hope this info helps other stampedes with dexterity problems.
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteVery elegant card, and the stamp is beautiful, too. I've got a few of the stamps for your dies and you are right, they add even more interest and beauty to cards.
Love the colour combo.
Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue. Quite a clean and simple card by your usual standards, but so effective. I do quite often buy the stamps to go with some of your dies and then because I put them away with the rest of my stamps I forget that I have them and they don't get as much use as they deserve. This post is a good reminder to me to get them out and have a play.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today sue x the stamp is lovely and looks so good with the die x thankyou sue x
Steph that must have been so scary x I had a card table last year for charity and premade some relation labels so if anyone wanted the card specifically for wife or uncle etc I could put them on . Well I have never ever had trouble taking the backing of the foam pads or dst I had used until then when everyones watching ! Felt a right donut !
My fingers were trembling and could feel the redness coming to my face x
Yvonne glad to have you back and if only we all had neighbours like yours xxx
Take care everyone x

Love the coordinating stamps. I ink my big stamps like you did, but I run my brayer over the surface of the cardstock for even inking pressure...dittos on the arthritic hands...I don't have any straight fingers any more...
ReplyDeleteI related to your tip to always tape down dies...I almost ruined my string flowers dies by not taping them down...I was so used to using my magnetic plate that I wasn't thinking when I started cutting with my G. Caliber...duh...learned my lesson. Note to self.
Also, when foam taping dark colors, black, brown, navy, etc., I found black foam tape that comes in squares or rolls. I love it, but I also saw a tutorial a couple of days ago suggesting making your own color coordinated foam tape by running craft foam through the Xyron machine. She used a really big machine and the small one that is only 1 1/2" wide...ran it through twice to apply adhesive to both sides of the foam...very clever and since craft foam comes in many colors, what better way to have your foam tape color coordinate for those times it's visible from an angle.
Love your card today and always look forward to the next one.

Hi Sue, a very pretty card and great video. I love your Stamps to Die For, they make a great extension to your dies enabling you to use the same ones over and over again but in differing variations. I especially like the ones that have areas for colouring in.
ReplyDelete'P' in Wales - there is not a thing wrong with sitting with a cat on your lap, it is one of life's greatest pleasures (except maybe when you need the loo lol). The most we have had at any one time was five - my mother thought we were mad - but I have a sneaking suspicion that you have more :-)
Yvonne - that was a dreadful way for Asda to treat you. Easter week-end or not that should not have happened. I would be tempted to write to their Head Office. Hope Mr Tesco served you better.
Frances
Sstunning! I absolutely adore your stamps that go with your dies!!! They make creating a beauty so easy!! TFS!

Yvonne, dreadful customer service from Asda. Read recently, they failed to deliver a food order and baby milk to a young mum with 3 very young children not once but twice in 2 days. She was so desperate she went to the store, told them and they told her to go home and wait for another 2 days. She then told them she was taking her order off the shelf as it was paid for and they called the police. They told her she was stealing, when the police intervened they let her take the food. Customer Services rang her and said this rarely happens but she should have just waited.....
ReplyDeleteSteph you underestimate yourself Hun, not many of us could run a market stall. Have faith my dear.
Hi sue and crafters.

Hi Sue. The stamps make a lovely focal point.xx
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteYeah! I just love a video demo because they really break down the card making process into easy, understandable steps....I hope I'm not the only one who doesn't do written instructions, my brain just switches off!.....you are a superstar Sue with such a talent for passing on your abilities to us lesser mortals:-) this colour palette is one of my favourites too, the black really accentuates the intricacy of the dies and makes the stamped image the deserved focal point. Not for the first time, I am so relieved to have invested in the Grace die, it is so versatile and seems to pop up in a lot of my cards lately....and yours! This card doesn't need the standard embellishments ie flowers, ribbon etc, it would detract from the star of the show, the stamped frame and it's just perfect as it is. Well done Sue another winner and an exciting appetiser for the weekend:-)
I'm early today because my plans have been well and truly scuppered this afternoon- I had intended to print out some digi stamped images and practise sheets from my Spectrum Noir DVD before attempting to recreate them in my own cack handed way:-) However, after printing the first coloured image....rather mutedly....the ink virtually disappeared and no images could be seen. I know that at this point you are assuming that my cartridges need replaced, but no, my printer tells me when that is the case and it wasn't so long ago that I did just that. So, it's a mystery but I think it's still under guarantee though I'm still a little annoyed at the inconvenience because I've hardly used it since I bought it:-( Things aren't built to last nowadays are they?
So, plans aborted I decided to make another rice pudding to busy myself in a constructive manner....the milk was off though!
Well, the next best way to spend an afternoon...after Judge Rinder and Escape to the Country.....is to catch up on the blog and watch Sues latest video with a can of diet coke and Brodie napping next to me, bliss!
Speaking of cats, P, I am now so curious as to just how many pussies you care for...I have a sneaking suspicion that Frances may be right, it's at least five, do you perhaps live rurally or on a farm( sorry if I sound nosy, that's because I am:-)), because I can't imagine you having the space if they can't have a bit of a wander. It my idea of heaven though, living with more cats than human beings because they're far better company:-), I've never had any more than three of my own but the neighbours cats used to visit daily as well and go for a walk with my Mum every evening....it was some sight, a woman with two sticks in wellies and her dressing gown followed by six cats!
Steph, I bet our great leader Sue even gets the jitters before demonstrating so don't worry about a few nerves it helps us perform sometimes:-)
Yvonne, so nice to have you back sweetie, how nice of your neighbour to make a meal for your return though it was slightly spoiled by the shopping fiasco afterwards. I use Sainsburys and have never had a problem but it's just your luck I guess- I'm not surprised you told them where to shove their delivery, two days late is a joke and unacceptable. I hope the Tesco delivery man met your high standards in the totty department:-)

Beautiful card today Sue, the stamping makes a huge difference I think especially if it was embossed as well - I have several stamps with the dies (not the ones you used in the card today though) so I'll give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI can't keep up with the dies and stamps being released so I have to skip a couple of sets here and there.
Lots of love and craftihappiness everyone,

Hi Sue and all the crafters out there.
ReplyDeleteI just love following your blog but this is the first time I have left a comment. I have many of your dies and make some beautiful cards with them but my favourite is stamping and now I can do both with you stamps to die for and corresponding dies is just wonderful and should make my crafting even better.
Please accept my condolences, but I am pleased you are still crafting. Can`t wait to see you this Friday on hocanda.

ReplyDeleteAaaaaaagggggghhhhhhhhh, back into the land of Internet coverage having driven through a snow storm in Wales and torrential rain along the M6. Now I can catch up on the previous video as well as this one. Certainly enjoyed this one, the stamp is gorgeous and produces a lovely embellishment when cut. The end result is lovely.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card!! I'm holding my head in shame as I admit that I don't have any of your stamps...yet. I'm going to have a look at them all and start to add them to my wish list so that I can try to make something beautiful with them.
The excitement has gone up a notch here with the Amaryllis watch...the two larger buds have begun to bend over to get in the right position to open...so I'm hoping that I'll have some good news before the end of the week :)

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletelovely card and a great video as usual.
I'm having to do this on my phone as my ipad will not let me come through to the commrnts, it just freezes. Apparently its something to do with the latest software that i downloaded today - they might have said there was a problem before I downloaded it!
P hope Pushy is ok. Scamp is curled up on my llegs snoring her head off at the moment which doesnt make it very easy to turn over. She has become really clingy since gaining her freedom.
Yvonne I'm not surprised that you were fuming with Asda, that was terrible. Hope you got sorted with Tesco and thank goodness for your lovely neighbour.
Steph - I felt for you, but did have a bit of a chuckle to myself too - that's the sort of thin I would've done too!
well must go ( mainly because this typing on my phone is driving me mad! )
Love and hugs to all, Alison xx
Hi Sue

Hugs to all especially for your Sue.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue - this card is beautiful and I just love the stamping. It has urged me to buy coordinating stamps and dies now!! Kind regards,

Another stunner and your beautiful dies just bring out the best in any stamp.
ReplyDeleteI love the detail on this and I do love the shadowing effect down the sides.
definitely another one I love.
Just lovely Sue! Love the black centre frame and the shadow cast die effect.
