Hello bloggers! I just love using the aperture from many of my dies. Adding a bit of embossing just dresses it up beautifully too. Today's video will walk you through the process and show you how simple it is.

Embossed Aperture Card
Hello bloggers! I just love using the aperture from many of my dies. Adding a bit of embossing just dresses it up beautifully too. Today's video will walk you through the process and show you how simple it is.
Beautiful card , love it.
ReplyDeleteGlad that Hichanda is more about the demos, that's what actually sells the products not the constant selling blurb and inane personalities.
Tracey you are welcome, if it helps I'll send two daily thoughts lol.
Daily hugs to Tracey, Tina, Melody and Molly, and all on the blog
Morning Sue
ReplyDeletehope Ally Pally goes really well for you and the team. x
Very elegant card,love that blue.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Pam about Hochanda and that demos sell the products without all the constant pushy sales talk and the" look at me" all the time presenters(well some of them anyway).
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a great video and a beautiful card.
Such a pretty colour.
Sue i have just seen your new collection, I just do not know how you do it,
they are so lovely, so pretty, Thank you so much.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning card, I love the colours & your flowers are so delicate looking. Yvonne xx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card love the colours and the dies great video to thank you tracyw x
Lovely card, Sue, and thanks for the video with the 'how to' - must try recessing.
ReplyDeleteSeen the new collection and intrigued by some of them - no doubt won't have to wait long to see how you use them!

Lovely card again Sue,you must never stop. Agree with comments about Hochanda, can't wait to get them back on freeview. JJxx
ReplyDeleteLovely card today, looks so classy. I'm going to have a go today! I agree with all the comments about Hochanda - the demos are inspiring and I choose what I want from them. On recordings I skip through all the other blurb anyway! Looking forward to seeing demos of the upcoming new dies. Take care!
ReplyDeleteMaggie B xx
You make it so easy for us to make a great card like this, thanks for sharing. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I don't buy from TV shows I watch the demos and use dies I have already in my collection but if I do see a die I love I go looking for the best price as bundles are out of my budget
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to all
Love Tina xxxx
Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteI love today's card it's so beautiful, I really enjoyed the video you break it down into achievable steps for us.
I too have seen your new collection and all I need to say is WOW!

Beautiful card, great way to make an aperture and more use out of your super dries
ReplyDeleteThank you a great card
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteDefinite wow factor card today, the colours are fabulous and the antipodean dies too of course lol !
Enjoy Ally Pally everyone who can get there, it sounds like crafters heaven,
Muriel x
GM Sue. Love the card and the embossing folder is a fave.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Beautiful card, love the lacy look. I'm sure that you must be deep in prep for Ally Pally; I wish I could be there but living in the north it's quite an expensive journey (we live over an hour away from the nearest mainline train station), instead I convert the train fare and hotel costs into "Sue dies and CE goodies" and tell myself that one day you'll be at a more local show, plus it's back to work on Monday! I agree with the Hochanda comments, I hope that they carry on being about the demos. Hugs to all. Sue XXX
ReplyDeleteBeautify card love the colours x xhazel
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a gorgeous card today, I love embossing on my cards, and this folder is on my wish list. Will catch up with the video a bit later. Have a great day. Bx
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Sue.
ReplyDeleteI've seen your New collection I look forward to seeing the cards you have made xx
Absolutely beautiful Sue. It's nice to have the small selection of staimens in with the orange blossom dies, although I still love sugaring my dandilion dies to add to the centre of some of my flowers especially when I can't feel the small staimens to pick them up ! To anyone thinking 'use tweezers, I can't pinch them together.
ReplyDeleteI really like the look of the embossed apature, I also emboss the card sometimes to cut as a frame and that looks quite nice on a wideish frame on a plain piece of card, makes a nice change to reverse it sometimes.
Hope your planning and organising for AP are going well, I've set up the box to record as I watch, can't wait to get a front seat lol.
Well Sue, I will end by sending my usual hugs to you, and the lovely ladies in the fb group that pop in plus hugs to Tina E & Sam. Am hoping to get out today as the tummy monster reared its ugly head again yesterday and wiped me out ! Such is life xxx
Great colours in this one Sue. Enjoy Ally Pally.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful card today Sue! Lovely card design and colours. Debra x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow this card is stunning, I love it.
Thanks for sharing
Maggie
ReplyDeleteMorning all; a superb card today, Sue, love the design and the colour combo too!!!!
Doreen x
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love the design and the dies are amazing. I hope that all your prep for Ally Pally is going well. It will be different with Hochanda there. Have a great day today. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, really lovely. I've already picked a few "must have" dies from your new release.
ReplyDeleteMichele
Good morning Sue and crafters all,
ReplyDeleteWow, wow this card is so pretty and your choice of dies - well what do we say Excellent.
I agree with many comments today about Hochanda being great for demo's , presenters are usually very good and like to "help" but their personal preferences should be kept to themselves , maybe it's me but I do not want to know theirs. They are there to help sell the products. I being on a pension cannot afford big bundle prices and like Nanna Tina do shop around - Julia Watts gives a discount on show products on her website.
Hope all CE team enjoy Ally Pally. I would love to go but with travel being expensive will watch on TV.
Love and crafty hugs
Tina T xxxxx
Lovely card Sue. Will be watching Hochanda at A,P.

Lovely card I don't seem to make aperture cards I really must give them a try
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe perfect sentiment for a delightful card - since I started collecting your dies I'm using apertures on my cards a lot more often than I used to...
Izzy
Another striking, elegant card Sue. I love the flower idea and thank you Stephanie for the tip about sugaring stamens, hadn't thought of that but it sound a great idea and I will be trying it. Thank you Sue. Xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a truly wonderful card today, I love the inset of apertures and using this die gives it a real crisp look, the embossing is fantastic and you get this with all your dies, I use at least one of your dies every day, amazing.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

ReplyDeleteTo My Very Special Dearest Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat Can I Say That Hasn't Already Been Said, I'm In Awe Of Your Work,
I Just Love The Truly Tremendous Video With All The Awesome Tips And
Techniques, Your Card Is Just So Very Rich, Opulent, And Extremely
Outstanding.
Sue Thank You For All Your Extremely Hard Work Bringing Us Delightful
Cards To Us Each And Every Morning, I Love The Detailed Embossing That Comes
From The Delightful Bed Of Roses Embossing Folder, I Loved The One You Have Made
Smaller The Pinpoint Roses Will You Bring One Out Like That In A4.
I Loved The Stunning Colour Pallette You Used To Create Your Stunning "Masterpiece"
The Coconut White And The Delicate Iris, I Love All The Truly Very Beautiful Dies
You Have Used And How You Got Them To Work Together.

Hugs To All Wilsonettes I Truly Agree With Pam, And The Rest Of The Wonderful Wilsonettes I Really Hope Hochanda Continue's To Let

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeletethank you for showing this delightful card made with the beautiful EF and NZ die. Colours are lovely, too.
Only 2 sleeps and then it's Ally Pally time - wish I were there.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I love the embossed aperture. I remember you once showed how to emboss with the die still in place so that you get a defining line between the embossing and the aperture but I can't remember how you did it and I'm scared to try in case I ruin the embossing folder or worse the die!! Hope you have a great time at AP wish I could go but flights from Belfast and then a hotel would leave no money to buy any of your lovely products so I'll watch you on Hochanda instead
Missing Norah and Laine and many other regulars, hope you're all ok
Special hugs to Tracy
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Really, really pretty. Jan D., Florida, USA

Brilliant in blue!! So very pretty! Will be watching the video before bed tonight!! TFS!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful card. I love the die in the center.
ReplyDeleteEach element compliments each other so nicely.
Great card and appeture technique. I must get more in the habit in using my appetures. Thank you so much for the video. I noticed something today in your video that I am sure you have shown us before, but it just now "clicked" with me! Seems I learn something everytime I watch you videos.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card. I have never tried a recessed design, I think it is about time I followed in your footsteps.

ReplyDeleteJust been getting rid of my grey again, it's very hard work but worth it as it makes me feel better :)
On the craft side I am converting another ordinary cardboard box into a lovely box to hold handmade cards for my eldest son. He rarely sends cards so hoping that will change.

Hi, Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card and a great technique. I'm really going to have to buckle down and start adding to my Sue Wilson Die Collection then I will be able to join in a lot more than I can right now.
I'm squinting in the sunlight coming through my lounge room window right now...don't be fooled into thinking it's a gorgeous day though as the sky is full to bursting with dark grey clouds with only a few gaps for the sun to make its way through.
I'm smiling a lot though because I got some happy mail...yes, I finally got around to ordering a couple of new dies from Amazon so I'm now the proud owner of the Daisy Cluster and the Petite Peony Cluster. I'm really going to have fun with those :)
Bejay xx
Thank you Sue, this is one amazing tutorial....a most beautiful technique....A truly stunning card as an end result....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in this beautiful card. Have not tried an aperture card like this before but it doesn't look or sound too difficult for me. Thank you Sue. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card, very clean and crisp looking. I like the look of the recessed aperture and should remember to do this more often. Hope you have a good time at Ally Pally and I am looking forward to the TV shows coming from there.
