Gorgeous card Sue, I love it. Tracey, sounds like you had so much fun, glad you enjoyed it, if anyone deserves a fun time you do. June hope wound clinic went well, and that you are finally on the mend. Bejay, thanks for the sunshine, it was beautiful yesterday. Daily hugs to all, remembering NannaTina and her husband , hope all is going well, and our missing friends.
Morning Sue. A beautiful card and great video Thank you. Well we are being spoiled we had Phill at the weekend Julia today and John tomorrow. Thank you all so much. Take care Kitty.
Really beautiful card today, Sue, love that Colour Cloud used with the resist and as an edging for the mat. Always like noble frames and the magnolia adornment is just gorgeous, sorely tempted! Great day hey Tracy, well done you, enjoy the holiday. Hugs to all our missing friends.
Morning Sue. Another beautiful delicate card this morning. Unfortunately I don't own any of your new collection apart from the poppy die, but I do have the square dies. As previously mentioned, I'm not the sharpest pokey tool in the box so had many a problem trying to fathom out how to make frames as you do !! Easy peasy many of you may say, but read the above self confessed statement and discover I don't admit to being bright in the brain dept. I'd been using them totally wrong so not getting the beautiful effect I so longed for, once explained to me by numerous lovely friends from fb I now frame everything in sight if its still for long enough lol. Andy looks lovely framed in milk card with his peachy skin tone that'll teach him for getting too comfortable in his recliner chair !! Going back to being sensible - sorry, I have really fallen back in love with the square nobles and am now saving for the new oval and rectangles, as like you have done here Sue, there are so many of your gorgeous dies that can be stuck to the back of the frames to make a beautiful card, I recently did that with the Canadian background and it looked so pretty. Really looking forward to watching what John does with the new collection (does he EVER stop) ?
Sending you hugs as usual Sue and hoping you have a lovely day xx
Hi Sue. Beautiful card, I'm looking forward to seeing how it's made but I'll have to wait until tonight as it's another early start at work today. Hugs to all. Sue XXX
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh such a pretty card today, I am going to watch the video when I have my breakfast in a minute.
Stephanie C I am pleased you have sorted out the framing, it is wonderful isn't it, and with the A and B sets, you can mat and layer so easily by using the largest from set A and then the largest from set B, then the 2nd largest from A and then 2nd from B, and you end up with 2 lots of exact matting and layering cardstock, hope that makes sense.
Pam thanks regarding wound clinic, it is still not healing in the one place so they are trying a honey strip under the dressing this time to see if that will do it, looks like it will be at least another few weeks yet but I am getting there.
Oh Sue thank you so much for the advice yesterday.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue Beautiful card, looks like I will have to treat myself to the Nobel dies Thank you Pam, Physio's had hubby up without the compression stockings and leg braces for 5 minutes without him passing out so that's good, going to try again today, still waiting to move to rehab but at least we are moving forward not backwards now Happy crafting Love and hugs to all Love Tina xxxx
Hi Sue A very pretty card. I love all the layering and the colour. Thanks for sharing. June...sorry to hear you are still having healing problems. Honey is fabulous stuff so I hope it does the trick. Have a great day everyone. Hugs.
Hello Sue and all Thank you for the video Sue, great and informative as always. The magnolia is a gorgeous die and works beautifully behind the frames. Makes a fabulous card. I finally got the B set of noble dies and you wouldn't believe it, my grand calibur is playing up so I can only use smaller dies on my poor old little machine. Luckily my fiend's husband is very good at these things and has fixed a couple of problems, cleaned it out and is putting it back together as we speak. Can't wait to get it back home, I feel lost without it. Hoping things continue to improve for you and hubby Nanna Tina and June as well. Sounds like a great day Tracey, have a great holiday, you deserve it. Hugs Muriel x
Good morning Sue Apart from the Noble dies I do not own any of the other dies .......... Yet! But you could use any of the dies from your other sets. I love how your dies all work together a lot of thought went into designing them. Today's card is stunning and after watching the video easy to achieve. Hugs x Heather T
Sarah having her spinal surgery this morning so I'm afraid my mind really isn't on crafting today Tracy glad you had such good fun yesterday, enjoy your trip to Pitlochry June and Nanny Tina glad things are improving for both of you
Good Morning Sue on a horrible wet day, I do love your card its really cheered me up and Im going to love to watch your video. Have a lovely day. hugs Shirleyxxx

Morning Sue this is my second attempt to leave a comment .Web page went down .I love the way you have used the magnolia die. Another stunning card .Gloria (Sidcup) xx
Hi Sue What a pretty card, that stamp is gorgeous and looks do lovely with the matching die. Thank you for the cloud ink tip it's a great way to watch things together. Now I wonder I'd some of my other dies will work to replicate this, I must have a play later. Enjoy your day Love Diane G xxx June sorry you are still not healing properly, the honey sounds interesting, I know it has lots of natural powers and will be much better for you than antibiotics ( if a little sticky 😀) xxx Tracey have a fabulous holiday, you both deserve it xxxx
Morning Sue, lovely card, I don't have this particular die, but I'm sure I can find somthing similar in my collection. Have a nice day everyone, take care, Jess xxx
Hello Sue, Beautiful card and very informative video! I love how you have used the Magnolia Die - I will be trying that one very soon. What did we do before we had those squares ? I don't have the rectangles or ovals . One day! Beautiful card - beautiful colour tones! June - so pleased you are making progress! Nanna Tina - thinking of you and your husband! Tracy - so pleased you enjoyed your day at Aberfoyle - sorry I'm a bit slow sometimes! Love to all, Myra xxx
Hi Sue, Beautiful card, love the way you've used the magnolia die as the background. And shall be trying that with my Milford one . Colour combo - impeccably elegant. What can I say but "thank you" Sue. Hugs, Rose
Another pretty card today Sue, what a pity the weather here didn't match it! Looking at your cards takes my mind off it though. :) Hugs to all in need of them today, Paula x (WelshPaula)
great tip about inking the paper so it all matches. and that barely nude is a very soft and gentle colour, a bit like tattered rose I suppose. lovely card, hugs xx
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Very pretty card sue x I love how you have used the magnolia you would think it was a completely different die x the frame looks fantastic and I love using mine although I still need some practice ! Thankyou once again sue for your inspiration x Tracy so glad you had a good but exhausting day x June I have never heard of a honey strip and really hope it helps x sending hugs x Pat thoughts are with you all today must be a worrying time xxx Sending hugs to all the wilsonettes x Theresa w xxx

June. Hope u heal better with the honey strip! I've not heard of it either but u learn something new everyday and as long as it helps xx
Good morning Sue and your amazing Wilsonettes. Gorgeous card today...I love how you used the magnolia die. I really must add it to my wish list. Thank you for another awesome video!

Have a beautiful day everyone. Hugs to all! ❌⭕️❌⭕️
Hello Sue Have just watched your video so many tips to help us aspire to making cards nearly as beautiful as yours. June when I was nursing we always used honey on wounds that were not healing properly then health and safety reared its head and we had to stop mind you we were using it straight from the jar not very sterile. To Pat L please keep us informed about Sarah I hope the operation is a success.
Pat, just wanted to send my best wishes for Sarah's surgery, such a tense worrying time for you all. Big hugs to all but gentle ones for Sarah, such a brave girl.
This is just beautiful Sue. I wish I could afford the A&B pierced frames, but I will need to just carry on with set B & be grateful!!!! They still make lovely frames. Xx
For reasons that I have yet to work out, the beautiful design you made with the magnolia die reminded me of the torchon bobbin lace patterns that I make in my Wednesday lace group. No rhyme nor reason but hey ho!
This is a lovely card and I do love this central design.
Tracey S: the weathermen predicted Scotland would get the best weather today and your comments seem to echo this. Down in Northamptonshire it is tipping it down with rain and I am shivering! A good excuse to go up and do some crafting I guess.
Hi Sue I've been trying to comment since this morning but once again my iPad is playing up so hopefully you will get this one. Although I don't have these dies ........... yet! there are plenty of your other dies that would work the same. I love how each collection can work with each other such clever designing. The video shows us how easy it is to achieve this beautiful card. Hugs x Heather T
A beautiful lacy card with such soft colours. I have just ordered the original Nobel double pierced square dies today. I've liked them for ages but the other more ornate or flower dies always seemed more appealing. Can't wait to try them.
Hi Sue, this is a lovely card that I remember from the January launch, very classical looking. Clever use of the magnolia adornment and I love the central stamp. The touch of colour just lifts it perfectly.
Pat L - Thinking of Sarah and hoping all is going well.
Three lovely sunny days in a row here in Central Scotland. I agree with Tracy - this is probably our summer :-) Beautiful clear blue skies with bright sun but a fairly strong wind, just right for drying the washing! Sorry for all those who have rain and cold weather but don't be too jealous as I am sure it won't be too long before we get the rain again. I am a happy bunny today as the postman has brought me the Delicate Garden Frame die set. I have only waited about eight months for it but I am gradually chipping away at my very long list.
Hi Sue and everyone, Beautiful card ! Have not got the big squares because they are just to big for the size cards I'm making but they are very nice and so is the colour on this card.
Well wishes to Sarah Pat L. and hugs to you all. Really hope this operation can help her some.x June, take care and hopefully the honey will do it x Lynda, take it easy my friend.hugs x Lorraine and Yvonne, you are missed x Lorraine F, hope you are ok. The Fibro is really playing up at the moment for me so if it do the same for you then take care holding baby Harrison, they get heavy after a while x Sending hugs to all Wilsonette's and to my very special friends take care all, Maria x
Hi Sue and all your crafty crew Another stunning make today Sue and right back at ya with the sentiment I hope you are well Sue and I have to thank you again for sharing your inspiration with us all Hugs to everyone that may need on I'm sure there are a few of you out there Be happy Theresa G xx
This card is so lovely!!! It gave me an idea, which doesn't come very often, that you could take other single flower dies and make a background like this one and get even a different look. Wonderful card Sue. Thank you for the inspiration!!
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes, This is a beautiful clean looking card Sue and with that touch of pink/peach against the milk card just gives it a soft glow. Needless to say flower i don't have any of these dies either but it doesn't stop them from being on my wish list. Thank you Sue for a bonny card and for giving us the inspiration to use what dies we do have for it. I hope that you have had a lovely day down south, i know up here at Glenochil it has been a beautiful day although i have been too worried to enjoy it. My four legged baby girl didn't eat all her dinner last night which is unusual for her as who needs a hoover when they have a chocolate lab in the house. Well at bedtime she didn't get up to meet me either so i had a fits and starts sleep. This morning Campbell called his work at 7am to say he wasn't coming in because she was so seriously ill but had to wait until 8:30 to call the first available vet. He has researched it on the internet and thought she had Pyometra which he gave them all her symptoms to the vet and we have had to take her through to Dunfermline Veteranary Hospital and she has had a whole lot of tests bloods and kidneys to see if she would be able to make it through the massive operation to remove everything from her as this poison can kill her within 24-48 from start. It's taken to 17:20 for us to find out if our baby girl has made it through or not which she has although still on a drip and pain killers as she is going to be sore for a while, but i'm just glad that she is hopefully going to pull through, at least she#s came around from the anaesthetic so that's good news. I've given myself more pain becuase i couldn't keep still and was pacing up and down into all the rooms, even trying to eat just wasn't happening as i had got so worked up about here. Any way i shall wish you all a good evening and will see you tomorrow, sending hugs to all the Wilsonettes that could do with them, want them or need them, take care love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil Village)
Well I am back after going on a lovely cruise to celebrate our golden wedding. WF on the boat was not good very slow. But back to a great card and video. The noble dies are so useful.
Sue, forgot to say usual thanks for the video! Am doing what I said I wouldn't do for a while - ordering (the magnolia die, it's so lovely.)
Pat L - do hope surgery went well for Sarah. Can imagine the tension.
Norah, also worrying times for your wee choccie - fingers crossed. Having had labradors in the past, know just what greedy little beasties they can be!! If they don't eat, then something's wrong. Keep us posted please.
Beautiful card Sue, I love anything incorporating your custom made frames, the Noble dies are slightly more expensive but what an investment! I only have the rectangles A&B, much to my pain and suffering, and have to content myself with the thought that one day I will be able to add the squares.....and the circles.....and the ovals......oh, and the other rectangle!.....to my collection.....time I get myself a rich sugar daddy, though at forty four next week, my choice is rapidly dwindling:-) I haven't had time to watch the video so far today but I will thoroughly enjoy witnessing you weave your magic later. Well, we've had a glorious few days in Central Scotland, our summer has arrived and long may it last:-) Cardmaking for me has quite literally gone out of the window.....I can't resist toasting myself in the sunshine until I turn a flattering shade of pink....I haven't really sunbathed properly in six years since my cancer diagnosis but a little bit of something does you good I think and it always boosts my spirits. Unfortunately my rather pinkish flesh will be inspected tomorrow at the hospital when I go for my three month cancer/ biopsy check, don't think my consultant will be too impressed....... Pat, thinking of you, Sarah and her family today, I do hope that the operation went well and that Sarah's recovery were be swift and a successxxxx Norah, oh my poor little dear, you really have had a dreadful day. My heart goes out to you, I can't imagine anything worse than to have to sit and wait for news of your fur baby. How on earth did she ingest the poison? I saw on Supervet, a cat that had been poisoned and the situation was equally critical, but after a vodka drip the pussy was as right as rain...if rather inebriated:-) Fingers crossed that you are now over the worst and that your baby makes a full recovery. I grew up with a lab, they are adorable and boy, do they like their food!xxxx June, I also saw on Supervet, honey being used to combat infection on a wound, I hope it does the trick for you, take carexxxx Tracy, great you enjoyed your day in Aberfoyle, the weather is fantastic, I just hope it lasts for your holiday, though this is Scotland and we have to be realistic now don't we? Frances, enjoy your new die set, I've had it for a number of months now and I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't christened it yet, your excitement has given me fresh impetus to fish it out for a play:-) Hugs to all our absent or ill friends, including Yvonne, Beth, Wheely bad, Lorraine, Lynda, Linda, and Rebecca. Extra hugs to Maria, Theresa, p, pat, Pam, Alison , deb c and all in need of a cuddlexxx Have a lovely spring evening everyone and belated Happy Mothers Day to our American , Canadian and Australian friendsxxxx

Hi Sue. Beautiful card. Have a great day. Hugs to all xxx
Very pretty.....I like the background inside the frame.....well done Sue
Hello Sue
Have just watched your video so many tips to help us aspire to making cards nearly as beautiful as yours. June when I was nursing we always used honey on wounds that were not healing properly then health and safety reared its head and we had to stop mind you we were using it straight from the jar not very sterile. To Pat L please keep us informed about Sarah I hope the operation is a success.
Pat, just wanted to send my best wishes for Sarah's surgery, such a tense worrying time for you all. Big hugs to all but gentle ones for Sarah, such a brave girl.
A lovely card :)
So enjoyed your vid tut, Sue...
as always

gorgeous and elegant Sue, love the background with those flowers.

This is just beautiful Sue. I wish I could afford the A&B pierced frames, but I will need to just carry on with set B & be grateful!!!! They still make lovely frames. Xx
Love the framing and the background flowers are delicious!! TFS!
For reasons that I have yet to work out, the beautiful design you made with the magnolia die reminded me of the torchon bobbin lace patterns that I make in my Wednesday lace group. No rhyme nor reason but hey ho!
This is a lovely card and I do love this central design.
Tracey S: the weathermen predicted Scotland would get the best weather today and your comments seem to echo this. Down in Northamptonshire it is tipping it down with rain and I am shivering! A good excuse to go up and do some crafting I guess.

Wow love it, crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
Very pretty card.

Hi Sue
I've been trying to comment since this morning but once again my iPad is playing up so hopefully you will get this one. Although I don't have these dies ........... yet! there are plenty of your other dies that would work the same. I love how each collection can work with each other such clever designing. The video shows us how easy it is to achieve this beautiful card.

Lol it makes a change that we are getting it nice. It's usually always raining here!
This I bet will be our one week of summer lol
Hi Sue and everyone
A beautiful lacy card with such soft colours. I have just ordered the original Nobel double pierced square dies today. I've liked them for ages but the other more ornate or flower dies always seemed more appealing. Can't wait to try them.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue, this is a lovely card that I remember from the January launch, very classical looking. Clever use of the magnolia adornment and I love the central stamp. The touch of colour just lifts it perfectly.
Pat L - Thinking of Sarah and hoping all is going well.
Three lovely sunny days in a row here in Central Scotland. I agree with Tracy - this is probably our summer :-) Beautiful clear blue skies with bright sun but a fairly strong wind, just right for drying the washing! Sorry for all those who have rain and cold weather but don't be too jealous as I am sure it won't be too long before we get the rain again. I am a happy bunny today as the postman has brought me the Delicate Garden Frame die set. I have only waited about eight months for it but I am gradually chipping away at my very long list.

Hi Sue and everyone, Beautiful card !
Have not got the big squares because they are
just to big for the size cards I'm making but they
are very nice and so is the colour on this card.
Well wishes to Sarah Pat L. and hugs to you all.
Really hope this operation can help her some.x
June, take care and hopefully the honey will do it x
Lynda, take it easy my friend.hugs x
Lorraine and Yvonne, you are missed x
Lorraine F, hope you are ok. The Fibro is really playing
up at the moment for me so if it do the same for you then
take care holding baby Harrison, they get heavy after a while x
Sending hugs to all Wilsonette's and to my very special
friends take care all,

I hope you are well Sue and I have to thank you again for sharing your inspiration with us all
Hugs to everyone that may need on I'm sure there are a few of you out there
Be happy Theresa G xx
This card is so lovely!!!
It gave me an idea, which doesn't come very often, that you could take other single flower dies and make a background like this one and get even a different look.
Wonderful card Sue.
Thank you for the inspiration!!

Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a beautiful clean looking card Sue and with that touch of pink/peach against the milk card just gives it a soft glow. Needless to say flower i don't have any of these dies either but it doesn't stop them from being on my wish list. Thank you Sue for a bonny card and for giving us the inspiration to use what dies we do have for it. I hope that you have had a lovely day down south, i know up here at Glenochil it has been a beautiful day although i have been too worried to enjoy it. My four legged baby girl didn't eat all her dinner last night which is unusual for her as who needs a hoover when they have a chocolate lab in the house. Well at bedtime she didn't get up to meet me either so i had a fits and starts sleep. This morning Campbell called his work at 7am to say he wasn't coming in because she was so seriously ill but had to wait until 8:30 to call the first available vet. He has researched it on the internet and thought she had Pyometra which he gave them all her symptoms to the vet and we have had to take her through to Dunfermline Veteranary Hospital and she has had a whole lot of tests bloods and kidneys to see if she would be able to make it through the massive operation to remove everything from her as this poison can kill her within 24-48 from start. It's taken to 17:20 for us to find out if our baby girl has made it through or not which she has although still on a drip and pain killers as she is going to be sore for a while, but i'm just glad that she is hopefully going to pull through, at least she#s came around from the anaesthetic so that's good news. I've given myself more pain becuase i couldn't keep still and was pacing up and down into all the rooms, even trying to eat just wasn't happening as i had got so worked up about here. Any way i shall wish you all a good evening and will see you tomorrow, sending hugs to all the Wilsonettes that could do with them, want them or need them, take care
love and crafty hugs

So pretty Sue x
Really pretty background with the magnolia adornment
Well I am back after going on a lovely cruise to celebrate our golden wedding. WF on the boat was not good very slow. But back to a great card and video. The noble dies are so useful.
Hi Sue, beautiful card , love the flora background.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Sue, forgot to say usual thanks for the video! Am doing what I said I wouldn't do for a while - ordering (the magnolia die, it's so lovely.)
Pat L - do hope surgery went well for Sarah. Can imagine the tension.
Norah, also worrying times for your wee choccie - fingers crossed. Having had labradors in the past, know just what greedy little beasties they can be!! If they don't eat, then something's wrong. Keep us posted please.

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Beautiful card Sue, I love anything incorporating your custom made frames, the Noble dies are slightly more expensive but what an investment! I only have the rectangles A&B, much to my pain and suffering, and have to content myself with the thought that one day I will be able to add the squares.....and the circles.....and the ovals......oh, and the other rectangle!.....to my collection.....time I get myself a rich sugar daddy, though at forty four next week, my choice is rapidly dwindling:-)
I haven't had time to watch the video so far today but I will thoroughly enjoy witnessing you weave your magic later.
Well, we've had a glorious few days in Central Scotland, our summer has arrived and long may it last:-) Cardmaking for me has quite literally gone out of the window.....I can't resist toasting myself in the sunshine until I turn a flattering shade of pink....I haven't really sunbathed properly in six years since my cancer diagnosis but a little bit of something does you good I think and it always boosts my spirits. Unfortunately my rather pinkish flesh will be inspected tomorrow at the hospital when I go for my three month cancer/ biopsy check, don't think my consultant will be too impressed.......
Pat, thinking of you, Sarah and her family today, I do hope that the operation went well and that Sarah's recovery were be swift and a successxxxx
Norah, oh my poor little dear, you really have had a dreadful day. My heart goes out to you, I can't imagine anything worse than to have to sit and wait for news of your fur baby. How on earth did she ingest the poison? I saw on Supervet, a cat that had been poisoned and the situation was equally critical, but after a vodka drip the pussy was as right as rain...if rather inebriated:-) Fingers crossed that you are now over the worst and that your baby makes a full recovery. I grew up with a lab, they are adorable and boy, do they like their food!xxxx
June, I also saw on Supervet, honey being used to combat infection on a wound, I hope it does the trick for you, take carexxxx
Tracy, great you enjoyed your day in Aberfoyle, the weather is fantastic, I just hope it lasts for your holiday, though this is Scotland and we have to be realistic now don't we?
Frances, enjoy your new die set, I've had it for a number of months now and I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't christened it yet, your excitement has given me fresh impetus to fish it out for a play:-)
Hugs to all our absent or ill friends, including Yvonne, Beth, Wheely bad, Lorraine, Lynda, Linda, and Rebecca.
Extra hugs to Maria, Theresa, p, pat, Pam, Alison , deb c and all in need of a cuddlexxx
Have a lovely spring evening everyone and belated Happy Mothers Day to our American , Canadian and Australian friendsxxxx
