Lovely card Sue. Love that flower
Tracey, I am so very sorry to hear the news about your lovely dad. You have had the most terrible time this year but you are a strong lady and you get that from your dad, he must be so worried about you. It is easy for us to say stay strong but you must, for you and him. We will always be here for you and send hugs for you both.
Daily hugs to all, including missing friends.
Morning Sue, gorgeous card off to watch the video now.

Morning Sue. What a beautiful collection of dies turned into a beautifully designed card, just what is needed to raise my spirits. After looking after our gorgeous Lottie I picked up her not so gorgeous cold and as I have no immune system I'm feeling the roughest I felt in ages and can't inject my meds to dampen down my Crohns and arthritis due to these bugs, so I'm a complete mess ! It's back to bed for me.
Hope you have a lovely day Sue. Sending my usual hugs this Tuesday xx
Lovely card, I don't do this nearly enough, certainly missing a trick there
Lovely card today Sue, the flowers are great and I like the way you have used the dies to make them look so different and extend the possibilities.
Thank you,
Pearl xx

Hi Sue
Beautiful card, I love your flowers will try and watch video later and fingers crossed my phone will let me watch it all as it keeps cutting off halfway through.
Tracy huge hugs to you I am also dealing with my Mum who has terminal bowel cancer that has spread and she has refused treatment as it would make her very ill and she doesn't want her last few months to be ill and as she's doing OK for now, Mick had a sleepy day and was feeling sick did manage to eat and drink but it was extremely warm on the ward even I felt yucky, still on iv antibiotics so when drs come round we might find out what's going on, thank you all for all your kind words and wishes I keep trying to read all the comments when my phone plays nice
Happy crafting
Love and huge hugs to everyone
Love Tina xxxx

Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love the design and the dies are amazing. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Great video as ever, Sue, thank you. Love that Australian background and it just has to be the next one to arrive, especially seeing your chop chop today. Always amaze with your absolute faith in your cutting - don't check, just whip it over and stick it together and - voila - perfect! I'd be cutting little bits off to match until it almost disappeared lol! Great card and fab colour choice.
Well wishes to Mick, June, Steph and all missing friends.
Gloriously sunny in w.Wales if anyone wants some.
Special hugs to Tracy.

Hello Sue
This is such a pretty card using the wonderful Australian background. I love the way you cut up your dies to create different shapes so we
can make cards in different sizes. The video explains everything so well and gives us the confidence to snip away ourselves!
I love this card and the colours you have used!

Just lovely Sue.

Gorgeous card Sue. I love the way you used the background die. Will hopefully get time to play with my new dies in the coming months, after my daughter's wedding this weekend.

June x
Hi Sue, a really pretty card and I have all the ingredients except the Lauren die so I may be able to create something similar - that is if I can bear to cut into my current favourite - the Australian background. In slightly different colours I can see this as an engagement/anniversary card.
Steph - sorry you are feeling so rough, hope you get better soon.
Beautiful day here again so I'm willing to share some sunshine. Strange weather when Scotland and Wales have it better than England :-)
Frances
Good morning Sue from a beautiful sunny & warm day in Erskine! Today's card is stunning - I love the Lauren die and the colours used !
Janette
Morning Sue, from a wet and windy Bromley, I wish I was living where Janette (above) lives. Love today's card, it is so very stylish and I am so pleased you have shown us this as I always forget that you can make the dies fit together rather than trying to find one that will fit straight away. Thank you

Hello Sue,
I've watched the video and I've learned loads as usual! I love this card - love how you have very cleverly combined and adapted what are already lovely dies! You really do make me think about my dies much more! Thank you! I love the colours used today too and the flowers are so pretty! It took me a little while to get the Mocha colour - a bit like tomato/ tomato!!
Keep going Tracy, Nanna Tina , June and everyone who is struggling just now!
Love Myra xx

G'Day Sue,
I'm really looking forward to checking out the video today as I'm still to chicken to cut my dies up. Maybe watching how easy it is to do it and then have the seams not showing might just persuade me to have a try. After all in the long run it's only card I might mess up isn't it lol. I'll be off to find the video on YouTube rather than click on the link though as I can never get it full page from there and my poor old eyes need a BIG picture :).
What a glorious day down here in Truro. It's so hot I had to come inside to cool down. I really need it to stay this way at least until Friday though as a man came round to tell me that they've had a cancellation and would it be okay for them to come on Thursday and replace all my windows. Seeing as the council promised it would all be finished by March I'm more than happy. Luckily they couldn't get a reply from Julia two bungalows down (she's bed-ridden and the carers weren't there) and he tried Pete next door but he's at work. So it was third time lucky for me :). The weather says there's a 30% chance of rain on Thursday but with any luck it will be later in the day. The men will start around 8:30 and they are usually finished early in the afternoon.
Right now I've got a freshly showered dog sleeping beside me and smelling beautiful - after finding something noxious to roll in when out for her walk lol. Boy, did she smell toxic when I got her home. I think she was christening her lovely new collar as I had to give that a scrub as well as her :)
Tracy: Sending you love and hugs and a nice gentle hug for your dad. I lost both my folks 6 months apart from each other (mum actually during the night of Mothering Sunday). I think that although it was a shock both times, in a way it wasn't as hard to bear as it was quick and unexpected both times. You are a very strong lad, Tracy and I hope that, in a small way, your Wilsonette friends will be able to help you in the months to come xx
Hugs to everyone else in Wilson land and I hope that you're all having a glorious day.
Bejay xx
Another stunning creation! Love the seam hiding and that flower is scrumptious!! TFS!

Hello Sue
A square card and flowers just perfect. Had a busy day looking after my two granddaughters we have made lasagne and cupcakes am afraid the cupcakes will have to be eaten outside because of amount of decoration on them. I hope you feel better soon Stephanie I have to inject myself each week for arthritis and it can really make you feel awful but even worse if you can't have it. Annie have a lovely day on Saturday for your daughters wedding. I hope the day stays fine.
Really beautiful card
Love these colours and the Lauren die which I have is one of my favourites.xx
Gorgeous card Sue. Will watch the video once I get the chance to sit down after dinner. A little me time
Beautiful card. Going to watch video a little later to see how it's done

Hi Sue,
Thoroughly stunning card, I love snipping things so this video is a real treat for me. Hope all is good in your world, big hugs xxx
Steph, get well soon, my dad and my nanna inject methotrexate for different types of arthritis and I know how inconvenient illness is for them and how awful they'll feel, big hugs xxx
Tracy, thinking of you, big hugs xxx
Nanna Tina, thinking of you and Mick, big hugs xxx
Lynda, big fluffy cuddles from Billy and big hugs from me xxx
June, hope your wound is healing, big hugs xxx
To all those who suffer in the long and short term, big hugs xxx
I'm not got a migraine today but tired an rest of my body very achy from sitting up over the weekend trying to make Mr W sound really employable. It was the most I'd done of anything in a very long time. Took four days of stop start but I did it and they have emailed back to say they have the application. There's not a lot I can do to contribute so when I can do something i feel happier for it (tell that to my muscles! Lol) been having big Billy shaped cuddles all day.
Wishing you all well, big hugs to you all. Got plenty more if you need them,

That is a really gorgeous card Sue, i love how you cut the dies and re arrange them
to give a different look and this card is a perfect example.
Hello Sue,
As usual a gorgeous card today, and a helpful and informative video.
Love and prayers to all who have had terrible news, those who are suffering and those who are carers.
Pat L, we are into June tomorrow and hopefully Sarah's surgery will go ahead.

Hi Sue, This card is truly beautiful !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Super flowers Sue! Xx
Brilliant video and the dies really suit this technique Stunning card
Lovely :)
Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a gorgeous card Sue, everything about it now i can make a start as i have the bed of roses ef and the peony flower dies so its a start in the right direction. I do think that the lauren die is so pretty and is on the next get list for me. I love the colours that you have used today Sue as they blend to make such beautiful combination, each enhancing the last. THank you Sue for such a wonderful piece of inspiration.
Tracy flower, you just try and look after yourself as well as you are no use to you or your beloved dad wasted away to a shadow and he needs you to hold up for when he can't. He needs you to be strong and battle for him at the moment but i am still sending you my prayers, thoughts and hugs flower, just to let you know that someone cares. Please give your dad the hugs that i can't give mine for me please and if you look in flower there is an awful lot of lovely Wilsonettes thinking of you both.
Nanna Tina, oh you are up matching our lovely Tracy in the worry stakes flower and i wish there was some magic that we could wave to let everything be ok but there's not so we just need to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your Mum is a brave lady Tina so that is where you get your bravery from, because it's hard to decide that you are not going for the treatment that can perhaps lengthen her time here on earth for another few weeks/months. Try and enjoy every minute you can in the time you have left with her and see if i send my daughter down in an old fashioned nurses outfit, would it help keep Micks bp from dropping and cheer him up a bit? She is an actual nurse so it would just mean her changing her uniform to something that they used to wear and i think some of the hospitals down south still do? Sending hugs your way as well flower for both you and Mick and you lovely Mum.
Wheely it's nice to here that you down have the migraine at least, as it's one less pain to be in and they are awful. Now Mr Wheely felt wanted and needed over the weekend with you putting him to good use, but i'm sorry that you are feeling the after effects though. If i stand too long i'm in agony and if i sit too long its the same so it's a never ending battle of wills with me and it sounds like it's the same for you. Sending hugs down your way flower to keep your chin up and hey although it took 4 days of stop start, you've done it flower and something that you hadn't done the days before it so you just think on what you've achieved. You might not be able to do much but every little bit is some that you hadn't done before so you are getting the 2 steps forward and only the one step back which is great news.
Sending hugs to all the Wilsonettes and honary ones as well that need, could do with or just want, they are on their way to you
love and crafty hugs

A somewhat delayed comment as my friend's internet in the wilds of Cornwall kept disappearing and I have had to do the three hundred mile journey home to comment!!
A lovely card. Like many I am a a bit chicken when it comes to cutting up die cuts. Then I tell myself that is what copy paper paper is for - to practice. But do I listen to myself? Nah, of course I don't and it is my loss as I could be doing things like this.. Will I ever learn? Good question. But you do make it look so straightforward and the end product is so good that really, I have no excuse.
Thanks for 'trying' to pursuade me that I should follow your lead!!!!!
Teresa
Sue amazing! Clean,elegant, beautiful card that could be appreciated by all and sent to anyone. Very clever use of the dies as usual. Thanks for sharing your tips. All the best.
