Hi crafters! I love that my background dies are large, but sometimes, I want to make a really large card which calls for an extended background! The video will show you just how easy it is to do and you can use these techniques with other background dies as well.
Just a quick reminder in case you hadn't noticed, but I will be on Hochanda today for a two hour show from 10am to 12pm! I also have shows on Friday and Sat this week and the hours are all listed on the right hand side of the blog!
With the blog launch running, I completely forgot that I promised to announce the winner of last week's Wednesday Card giveaway(three panel card) yesterday! The winner is:
Barbara (C)!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card!

Hello Sue and all
Beautiful card and great video. As if your dies aren't versatile enough to start with, you just give us more and more. As you said this method could be used for so many other backgrounds and that is what I hope to try on Saturday, planned for a full card day :-)
Congratulations Barbara. I will try again to watch your Hochanda online, usually stops so often it is so frustrating but never give up on watching a Sue demo!!!
Thinking of all having tough times,
hugs
Muriel x

Absolutely exquisite definitely a work of art, I will be at work so I will set recorder. Congratulations to Barbara. Yvonne xx
I love the card and colours used and the video is so informative. Looking forward to the shows. Luv jxxx
Hi Sue, love the card today and it shows how the die cuts can be used to extend their usage to best advantage, lovely card too,
thank you,
Pearl xx
Morning Sue. I really love the colour you've used on this sample it highlights the beauty of the background dies. I've just about got over the pain of snipping your dies so hopefully I can progress to the larger background dies like you've shown today on this really beautiful sample.
I know we always hope and pray for good holiday weather if we can't get abroad but I'm hoping for the opposite today so I can sit and enjoy watching your 2 hour show this morning as it's not set up to record back home !!! Boohoo.
I will leave you and our Sam with big hugs, and hope you have a fantastic day Sue ☺ xxx
Good morning Sue. Beautiful card, will catch up with the video tonight after I've caught up with your shows. I'm not happy that I have to go to work when I could be watching you live, but I have to earn to feed my craft habit!
Congratulations Barbara on your win.
Tracy - sending special wishes to you and your Dad. Hugs to all. Sue xxx

Hi Sue

Congratulations to Barbara on winning the card.

Hi Sue, this card is really lovely, beautiful soft colour, and a great video. Well done Barbara on winning the card. Bx
Hi Sue
A really beautiful card, loving the little flowers , i will try to watch your video later.
Pam thank you for asking , Andrew is still in Hospital but i am pleased to say he is looking a lot better , they have drained over 2 litres of fluid from his tummy { this has gone away to be tested } , and his blood counts are back to normal.
Hopefully he is now on the mend .
I had a phone call from my youngest sons partner last night , to say Darren has just come out of Theatre ,{ what a shock ,he didn't want to tell us his appointment had come through as he thought we had enough worry with Andrew } So we will be visiting him this morning and i will be giving him a ticking off , i know he was thinking of us but he is just as precious and needs support also, however minor the operation .
It is a pity my boys are not in the same Hospital , one is in Stoke the other in Crewe , but we will sort out the visiting times , so i will away now and sort out the veges for dinner
it will be easier if its all prepared for when we get home.
Congrats to Barbara ,enjoy your lovely card .
Take care everyone
Lots of hugs to all.

What a lovely card, Sue, really like the Australian border and even better for the enlargement! Altogether splendid.
Tracy - really feel for you. Cherish your time together and hope at least that your Dad can be helped with the pain. Just take what help you can, too.
Elaine - oh my word. Hope both your boys are okay now.
Hugs to Nanna Tina and Mick.

Hi Sue,
I ran out of superlatives a long time ago since started visiting your blog so it's more of the same.... beautiful, elegant and oh yes, pulchritudinous! Fab video, too. And showing us how to extend your dies makes them even more versatile whilst losing none of their beauty.
Thank you. All set for your shows and looking forward to it.
Hugs, Rose
Beautiful card, Sue.

This is a beautiful card (my colours). You make it look so easy when you extend a diecut. I use that small butterfly a lot, it finishes cards off nicely. Hope to tune in at 10am, it's been too long since you were on TV! Thanks for the video Sue.
Congratulations to Barbara.
Good morning Sue,,

lOVELY CARD ; THAT NOT DIFFICULT TO SAY THEY ALL ARE
Hi Sue
Beautiful card, hope to watch video after I've taken mum shopping, love the colours
Mick had a good day managed to eat some of the baking I did I made some of his favourite things to tempt his taste buds, he also got a huddle with his new Grandson we had to use cushions as he has no control of his arms and hands and he was worried about hurting him but all was good, very emotional he was the sunshine after all the rain for us
Congratulations to Barbara in winning card
Love and huge hugs to everyone and for all your hugs and wishes they mean a lot to me
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to all

Not sure where my post went to, my Daugter FaceTimed me while I was trying to post it.
This card is beautiful, I love it.
I have this background die set and it cuts out beautifully..
I must set my HD box to record your shows just in case I miss any.
Have a great day

Hi Sue
What a gorgeous card, love the way you have extended the background, you make it look so easy!! Who doesn't love a sparkly butterfly or two to cover a join ( or hide a mistake in my case!) and I always find the ivy perfect for that too. Thank you for sharing

Tracey my sweetheart I'm sending you the biggest cuddle, all you have been through this year you have been so brave. I hope dad is home with you soon, it will be so hard but accept all the help you can get and spend your dads with your darling dad, you will know you have done the best for him. Sending your dad a big hug too, tell him we are thinking of him, might make him chuckle that he's getting all these virtual hugs from ladies he's never met! Xxx

I'm always inspired by your cards so I'll clear the remaining clutter from yesterday's play session and start off with a nice tidy work area in my craft room.
Looking forward to seeing you on Hochanda, 2 whole hours woohoo. Will record it as well:-)
I had a visit from my eldest Granddaughter yesterday. They had been to register the baby's birth and called here to tell me they named her after me! Her official name is Bonnie Ann.
She's such a delightful baby, still very tiny but she feeds well and only cries when she's hungry. Grandaughter is healing now. She had nasty tear when she gave birth. Midwife didn't expect her to go from 3cms to fully dilated in less than 40 minutes so when she said she wanted to push they didn't take her seriously so told her to give a little push and they would have a look to see what was going on! Grandaughter was on her hands and knees because she had terrible back pain. She pushed and the baby shot out, fortunately the midwife caught her. All's well that ended well.
Congrats to the winner of the card.

Hi sue
Smashing card as always. Heading down to plank my bum on couch to watch ur two hr show I'm so excited to see what ur going to do.
Congrats to Barbara on ur win.
Thanks everyone for ur well wishes and caring thoughts once more it really does make a big difference.
Dad apparently had been quite sick yesterday the nurse gives me update everyday when I go. Then he was sick twice whilst I was there. He was hallucinating as well which was hard to watch as if I didn't laugh I would be crying. It's like he's himself one minute and gone the next. I guess that's what having morphine does.
My sister who'd been in the afternoon said he'd told her somebody was hiding in his little bedside cupboard.
Don't think he will be out on Friday.
Anyways I'm off now to wTch sue.
Love to all xx
Hi Sue, love the card - will have to watch the the video tutorial later as I need to get in front of my TV to watch your 2 hr show.

Congratulations to the winner
Gorgeous!!
Hi Sue
I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it . . . . .
You know how the song goes. From this day forward I rename today - Thrilling Thursday!!!!
I was glued to the screen for your 2 hour performance, which was as ever completely marvelous. Then I come on to the blog to be greeted by today's work of art accompanied with a fantastic video. You have made a young lady (I use that term very loosely) very happy. And then there's tomorrow - WOOOOHOOOO x
Sue you are without doubt the undisputed champion of the crafting world. Was going to say heavyweight champion but would hate to cause offense. Lol x
I just want to throw something in the ring - see what I did there. I know that during my absence there was someone trying to take advantage of the situation with aspirations of knocking me off the top Wilsonette spot (like that is ever going to happen)!!! Surely a dedicated member of our Happy family would have set her alarm (as I did) to guarantee being able to watch you strut your stuff live. After a lengthy conversation yesterday it transpired that a certain person obviously thought it completely beneath her to make the effort and decided to record you instead.x
As you well know, I am not one to call into question anyone's scruples - but I'm just saying. Lol x x x
Seriously Sue - brilliant show, stunning samples and it isn't true what they say - I think you scrub up quite well x
Having a not doing much at all day today - ha ha what's new?! Still not up to speed with life in general really so a slow pace suits me and knowing we have another dose of Sue tomorrow makes life sweet x
WHEELY - lovely to see you girl. Such a relief when you manage to catch the migraine before it takes hold completely. Enjoy the viewing with hubby - romantic or what? Lol x
Nanna Tina - so pleased Mick had a good day x
Tracy - speaking from experience, humour is sometimes a blessing even when we are at our lowest. This time is so precious and you have to try and make the most of every second. Laughing at certain situations will create memories that will make you smile for years to come. Big hugs and smiles to you x
Pat - wow - go Sarah!! What a star. Lots of love x
Theresa - evil you are. What is so entertaining about mocking those who are of much lower class than us? Lol x
OK, bit of a shock to the system to be on here so early. I am so used to trying to rush my comment before turning into a pumpkin!!!
Enjoy the rest of the day everyone - especially you Sue - hope you manage to get a bit of feet up, glass of wine (maybe) and something extremely sweet to satisfy those inner yearnings. Lol x
Big hugs and happy thoughts to everyone - especially those who are special blog buddies - you know who you are x

Hello Sue,
Lovely card today, and great video. I've watched your two hour show this morning, and you were super, as usual.
I've been missing for a while as first I was a bit off colour, then when I looked it was in the middle of a die offer, so I waited until that - and the Wednesday card giveaway - was over before coming on again. Congratulations Barbara on winning the Wednesday card.
Pat L, I did check after the 21st to see if Sarah had her operation, and was so very sorry to read that you were all disappointed again. You wonder how much such a little child can go through and she is so very brave. I send her lots of love, hugs and prayers.
Love to all who are poorly and battling their illnesses, and those who are caring for them.

Hi Sue.
Another stunning card. I just love it.
Regards,
Evis M.
Hi Sue. Not sure if I have mentioned it recently but I really love this die, I think it is because I like the dashes on the borders of them which looks a bit as though they have ribbon threaded through. I was very interested to learn how the dies could be extended and I assume that they could also be changed into a square shape. Now I must go and watch this morning's show so I can see what everyone has been enthusing about,
Lisbeth
Hi Sue
Beautiful card.....so pretty!! Only just looked at blog & seen that I have missed your 2 hour show today on Hochanda!! GUTTED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!!!! I will definitely be checking out your other shows tho!!!!

Hi Sue,
As I like to frame the focal point on my cards I love this die, being non-frilly (if that's a word) it's particularly useful for men's cards. Really enjoyed your shows today, nice to have a complete range explained in full, and the samples were fabulous
Regards
Dorianne
Hi Sue, gorgeous card, the colours are beautiful

Love all your background dies and this card is no exception - stunning

Hi Sue
I was so excited that you were on the television that I forgot to come on your blog!!!! (You know the saying about old age doesn't come by itself lol!). The video was full of inspiration as always and the card is gorgeous! I love how you can chop and change the dies without spoiling the original look, very clever.

Very clever way to use these dies, makes a beautiful card
Gorgeous card. Love it have got some of these dies so will try and have a go when I'm crafting next.
Not able to do much just now my daughter still pretty sore and I'm still decorating just trying to get things settled again but I'm sooo missing my card making with my gorgeous dies I have.
Hope everyone is well and hugs to everyone who needs one. I certainly do just now. At work but still worrying.

Hello Sue
I love this card I still haven't managed to find the nerve to chop into your dies maybe one day. Pat you must be so proud of Sarah she has had so many setbacks yet still gets on with life. Tina I am so glad Mick had a better day and managed to hold his grandchild. Elaine I hadn't realised that you are from my neck of the woods both boys in different hospitals you watch your own health. Happy birthday to champagnedvine. Tracey I hope the doctors manage to sort out his pain management soon so he is less confused and more comfortable please try and look after yourself.
Such a pretty card Sue. Have just watched your video & am going to watch your Hochanda show late this evening - heaven
Love this card Sue. I enjoy when you show how to use dies in a different shape and/or orientation. Amazing!!!!

Hi Sue,
It's Aggie here...I'm lost when it comes to making cards. I've lost my interest but as always you know how to jumpstart the heart of a crafter. I've checked all the previous cards that I haven't seen and it seems I was asleep for a long, long time. Thanks for this inspiration and I love everything you make coz you were my guru die cutting queen 🤓 and always will be.
Hi Sue, I loved your shows today, I loved watching you adapt your background dies from larger to smaller, and now this beautiful card making them larger. All your samples were stunning.
Congratulations to Barbara (C) on winning the card.

Hi Sue. WOW !!! A fab video and the card is just gorgeous !!! I love how you have made your dies bigger and smaller !!! You have given us some fantastic tips and ideas with this card Sue. You are very clever. I love the Australian background die but as yet it is still on my huge long wish list. I love your colour combo. I think your card looks great with the pretty flowers, leaves and Ivy. They are just perfect for covering things up !!! I really love your cute little glittered butterflies to !!! They make such pretty embellishments. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous card and fab video today Sue. I absolutely loved your double bill shows today on Hochanda Sue. You were fantastic, and I loved every minute !!! Thank you for all your hard work. I can't wait to see your shows tomorrow on Hochana again.

Super,super card Sue and my favourite colour combination.
Congratulations Barbara
Visited the blog yesterday but forgot to comment.
Tracy, so, so, sorry to hear how poorly your Dad is. My heart goes out to you both. Xxx
Dubai Angela, Happy birthday for yesterday.
Wheely, I hope you continue to be able to keep those migraines under control.
Elaine, you poor thing, having worries over your two boys. I hope they are both fighting fit very soon and that you don't run yourself ragged visiting them.
Tina, so glad Mick got to cherish his new grandson and yum to baked goods.
Annie, how lovely to have a baby named after you are, congratulations.
Pat, Sarah is a real trooper no wonder you are so proud of her.
I have been doing quite well lately, yesterday I actually tidied up my craft table. It's supposed to be the dining table but I don't have anywhere else to craft.
Mum invited me out for lunch so that was good, then I did a few job around town. Then I just missed a bus so had to kill half an hour. That was the straw that broke the camel's back as my pain escalated greatly. By the time the bus came I could hardly walk. On the bus I started feeling nauseous so when I finally managed to get in all I could do was lie on the sofa. Hubby made me a cuppa but I couldn't drink it. Now I just have a headache so think it could be a silent migraine.
Hoping for better things tomorrow.
Sending love n hugs to all xxx

Stunning card and helpful video. Love those butterflies.
Take care everyone.
A stunning card and really like the colour combination. Have a wedding card to make and this design has given me a starting point in the inspiration department! Chuffed to be drawn for one of Sue's cards too. My week is ending on a real high. Thank you.
Beautiful card. Love the flowing ribbon on it.
Such a beautiful card Sue,your video`s are so clear and very helpful and how you show us you can extend and cut up your dies is a bonus,thank you,Linda x
Good morning Sue and the wilsonettes,
Oh i really do like this card Sue, the blue is so beautiful a colour and looks so lovely behind the white just adding that splash of colour here and there. Now i know that the only dies i have in this entire card is the butterflies but that is ok as i can imagine and hope that i can get to that part of my need list soon. A bonnie card Sue and could be for so many different occasions.. Thank you flower for another fantastic piece of inspiration, take care.
Oh Elaine, you are having a time of it with your boys, both being in hospital at the same time but in different directions is torture. I know that you have been so worried about Andrew and i do hope that he is back on track for getting better and back home again soon, but i agree that both your boys are special to you and both mean as much so you give that Darren a ticking off flower, and tell him that it doesn't matter how minor or major the op, a mum needs to know and needs to be able to tell her boy that he is loved just as much. Sending down some hugs for you and your boys, lets hope both are on their way home soon.
Well done Barbara, you have truly a stunning WOW coming your way so enjoy it flower when it arrives and since it hasn't come this way, i will just need to make one for myself, lol.
Annie, what a thrill for you not only having a precious great gran daughter but for her to carry your name also. I hope that your granddaughter heals soon flower but she will be glad that it is all over now and she have literally a Bonnie baby in her arms. I hope your granddaughter was very happy to see your face light up when she gave you her news. My grandson was named after my sil's grandfather and my daughters grandfather, my beloved dad i just him and my mum could have been here to see him.
OH Tracy flower, that is quite normal for him on all the drugs as my dad was exactly the same. He would tells us that there had been a gunman that had come into his house and way his gun around and dad tackled him to the ground, which would have been credible if he could actually stand up, but since he couldn't, eh no didn't happen. Another time he was going to catch the bus that was taking him back to camp because he had to be back down there for take off in the morning. Dad was in the RAF plus another more elite force during his time in the service but he was 18 when he went in to it. There are countless stories that now i wish i had a tape recorder to record all his stories and adventures as you never heard about them very often as he just didn't talk about his days in the service at all and it would be an out of the blue occurrance when it did happen. I hope that dad is not sick today and is a bit of himself but i'm sending down hugs to you and him flower and i'm sorry that it doesn't look like he will be coming home today for you, take care Tracy.
Tina, i'm so glad that Mick got a cuddle at the wee fella even if he did need a bit of help with the pillows to hold him, as it would have given him such a boost that no medicine could ever do. It's little people like that, that can be the best medicine of all and i hope the wee fella has given him the boost to get back on his feet again. Sending you and Mick hugs and i hope that he is soon back in rehab and back home again after that, as i have my fingers and everything else crossed that it does.
Well that's me now caught up with me i think as yesterday just seemed to go in a whirl. I had a quick look in before going to Stirling yesterday to meet my friend Di but i never got back in some how as it was none stop the whole day. So i will leave you all with hugs
love and crafty hugs
