Good Sunday morning all! A serene, pastel offering for today! I cut the
Pierced Roses Mini Background in blush card. I added a
sticky adhesive sheet to the back of it. Using a pastel green card from my stash, I cut the background again. I trimmed it right to the edge of the die then removed all the fall away pieces except the leaves. Next I laid it down onto the other one and gently pushed the leaves out of the die into the same spot on the original thereby paper piecing them into place. A bit of straightening needs to be done, but generally it isn't too much. I sprinkled
Iced Snow into the remaining sticky adhesive areas and added a piece of white card behind the piece that was several inches longer. I tied some
white ribbon around the card just below the background and added a bow and
crystal sparkler. I cut the
New Zealand tag out of blush card and backed it in white, cutting the centre out. I stamped my sentiment and added the tag over it. I attached it below the Rose background and completed my card with my usual mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.

Nanna Tina, hope Mick is doing better today
Tracy thinking of you and your Dad
So pleased you enjoyed your birthday and I agree about the crowds in a restaurant.
John did you proud yesterday with all his shows using your Christmas dies, I had forgotten how stunning they are, I love Christmas so will have to unpack mine and start making some cards.
Congratulations to all the winners.
I receive my lovely gift yesterday Sue, thank you.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Lovely card, Sue, liking the gentle colours. Such a pretty background.
With you on weekend busy-ness, so enjoy your dinner whenever! Just wonder, do you frequently get recognised when you're out and about?
Thinking of our poorly and missing friends.
Well done to all the comment winners.

Hi Sue,
Such a lovely, gentle card - It's singing to me, that's for sure. I really love that green. Good to hear that you've had a day you really loved - good idea about having dinner mid-week, I think you get better service then, too.
Hugs, Rose
Belated Birthday Wishes Sue, glad you enjoyed a lovely day!
Such a beautiful card in delicate colours really gorgeous!
Congratulations to the comment winners!
Anne xo
Morning Sue. This is a gorgeous card. I do love the colours and its very relaxing to do the paper piecing. Pleased you had a relaxing day with family yesterday and i am with you about crowds. I would rather go out during the week when its not so crowded i think the food is better and you can here each other talking lol. Congrats to all the lucky comment winners. Watched all of Johns shows and didnt he do well with your dies. Loved the way he made something different with your dies. So off to have a play to see if i can make the money wallet. Have a lovely day everyone.
Best Wishes.

Hi Sue
Another stunning card love the colours and the dies happy belated birthday to you for yesterday have a great time thank you tracyw x congratulations to you all the winners x
GM Sue. Fab card. Love the paper piecing. I agree weekends are too busy to do much without agro or hassle. Enjoy your meal later in the week.
Sunny Sunday smiles heading your way this morning Sue. It sure is an absolute miracle that we have gone almost 2 weeks without rain up here in Lancashire, so this morning's card combined with a warm sunny Lands spells Summer. The delicacy of the pastels, the beautiful rose die, the gentle hint of sparkle not forgetting the sheer purity of the ribbon with the gorgeous centre sparkler all adds up to a gentle, soothing wake up call to all Particraft lovers.
I think we all agree how weekend crowds can spoil a quiet night out, I don't know about anyone else but even Valentine meals out etc become a pain when they push extra tables into an already cramped room, add to the bill, plus give you 'sitting time' so you come away knowing everything about the couple at the next table, 30.00 worse off plus indigestion !! Lol so I don't blame you putting your birthday meal on hold, besides Sue, I'm sure there must be the perfect pizza takeaway somewhere near lol, enjoy your meal whenever and wherever you go, and as it will still be your birthday celebration you won't have to let calories stand in the way *wink wink* 😉
I'm already sensing excitement over the new festive collection so John really did need to help make way for these in the HOCHANDA warehouse and as June (I think) already said, he did a great job as always (our sky box is looking critical now) lol.
Well Sue, as usual I start out by trying to keep my comment to a minimum and yet again I've become Mrs. Ramble Pants lol so I shall bid you farewell, and wish you a beautiful sunny, maybe relaxing day doing what I'd love to be doing where you are right now ! Have a fun day Sunday xxx
Enjoy your gift comment winners.
Hi Sue
A gorgeous card. Congrats to the winners. Glad to hear you had a good birthday.

Very pretty card ,lovely soft colours
Hi Sue - a really pretty card and the paper piercing works so well. Lovely tranquil colours too. John's shows were very good and showed the versatility of your dies. Glad you had a great day yesterday and totally agree about celebrating during the week - we always do this to miss the weekend crowds, it is far more enjoyable. Congratulations to the three lucky winners today. Sending best wishes

Hi Sue, I love this pretty in pastel card, just right for a lovely sunny June day. I spent quite a while last night paper piecing the quilted blocks striplet, some of the pieces are miniscule but it is worth the effort. I am glad you did relax yesterday and I am with you on the mid-week meal, so much less hassle and therefore more enjoyable.
Tracy - fingers crossed for dad to come home tomorrow.
Congratulations to the comment game winners, enjoy your prizes.

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
I'm glad flower that you had a lovely birthday yesterday and my O.H. is the same about crowds when going out for dinner but that's because he is a crabbit, impatient old sod that can't seem to wait his turn to be served or moans about the noise etc because celebrity he is not. Have a lovely meal out wherever you end up lovely lady.
Oh todays card is so pretty from the pearls in the centre of the roses to the soft snowy back behind the roses. The crinkle ribbon gives it such a soft feminine touch, so delicate looking. All in all a simply beautiful card that anybody would surely love sitting upon their mantle. Thank you Sue for another beautiful card to make us think and love, have a lovely day flower.
Well yesterday was my ex sister in laws birthday, my neice her daughters and her grandsons 1st birthday as well. Now that wasn't well planned i think but there again there is no way surely that any of them should have their birthday missed. My brother in law is now on Mrs number 3 but i don't think her birthday coincides or i hope not, lol.
Congratulations to all of this weeks lucky winners, i hope that enjoy them as much as Sue did making the card or designing the prizes.
Hugs to Tracy, i hope your dad gets back home again tomorrow for you flower, Nanna Tina, i hope Mick is getting better bit by bit flower and you can see him making progress however slowly and to all Wilsonettes who need or could be doing with some,
love and crafty hugs

Hello Sue,
This is one of my favourite background dies and it is a lovely size too! There is a lot of detail in the die and you can clearly see it all. Love the colours today ! Glad you had a lovely day yesterday and very sensible to delay your meal out . Trying to get in somewhere nice can be impossible at weekends unless you book months in advance!
Enjoy this lovely weather - it's beautiful! The birds are singing their little hearts out!
Good news Tracy - hope Dad gets home tomorrow!
Congratulations to this week's winners. Enjoy your prizes .
Love to all, Myra x
A lovely simple layout and yes...... serene.

Gorgeous card today Sue and a Very Happy Belated Birthday for yesterday,
I am happy to hear that your dad may be out today Tracy, I am sure the hospital will tell you all about his food regime and purifying his meals otherwise the stent will block up, my dad was in and out of hospital by the minutes having his unblocked the only thing that went down smoothly was his whisky, lol and the supplement drinks, anyway good luck I am sure you will look after him well. Hugs Johanna,
Nanna Tina I hope Mick is showing signs of improving.
It's a cooler day today and I have orders to complete, I hate sitting in my craft room when the sun is blazing down I would rather be outside sunbathing,
Well done to the comment game winners, hugs to all Johanna
Hi Sue. Beautiful card today. Love the pastel colours. Congratulations to the winners - enjoy :-) Belated Happy Birthday wishes to you Sue, glad you had a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx

I'm glad that you enjoyed your birthday yesterday and can look forward to dinner out during the week.
Another beautiful card today, so pretty and feminine. As others on your blog have said, John did a fantastic job on Hochanda. He really is very talented and such a natural in front of the camera, and his humour shines through.
Congratulations to all today's winners too.

Hi Sue
Beautiful card I have this background die so will give this one ago, I did make a friend's birthday card using this die card looked lovely until I went to add insert and it opens the wrong way so she knows I'm batty so I will still send her it next month.
I am sat with Mick 11 floors up brilliant sunshine fan going as he's too hot, he has managed some weetabix this morning and some lasagne for lunch the milkshakes he likes are called scandi shakes and they put a scoop of ice cream in to add the calories he likes the chocolate one
Thank you all for your kind words and wishes I think they're working as he seems a bit brighter today
Congratulations to all the winners
Happy crafting
Love and huge hugs to you all

Hello Sue and belated birthday wishes. Somehow I just ran out of time to do everything yesterday, so no blog visit for me. Lovely card today, and the paper piecing to pick out the leaves is so effective. Congrats to the card giveaway and comment game winners this week. Susan x
gorgeous and elegant card Sue love those roses.
gr karin van eijk
My immediate reaction was how beautiful! You've done it again Sue, so delicate, love it. I think it would look good if the bow was replaced by an Angelina fibre dragonfly too, must try that.
Belated Happy Birthday, Sue!!!
Beautiful card...it sort of reminds me of Pergamano. Really pretty.
Congrats to the winners!!!

Hi Sue,
I have only very recently come to know your exquisite dies and card designs, and your inspiration has dramatically changed the cards I make. Thank you! I hope your birthday was everything you wished for, and the coming days will be filled with more creativity and accomplishments! I must add that your dies are the most trouble-free in my collection to date. LOVE them!
A new friend,

Beautiful card Sue. Love the pastel colours. So pleased to hear you had a goid relaxing day yesterday with family. Enjoy your meal later in the week.
Such a gorgeous card Sue, love the pastel colors that you used as well.
What a lovely card! Love the paper piecing! Such a pretty flower too!
Glad your Birthday was so enjoyable! Congratulations to all three of this week's comment winners!
Love the sweetness of this card. Sue, you are so clever to use the sticky sheet to adhere the second cutting of the background in green for the leaves as you explained to us. You so often come up with great ideas that my brain just has not thought of in card making. Well done! Always, thank you for sharing your ideas.
Very pretty I must try and use ribbon more frequently My efforts never seem to look quite right HAPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TOO
Beautiful card Sue, lovely pastel shades, my favourite.
Enjoy your Birthday meal when you do go out. I am the same cant stand weekends for eating out, far too busy.

as sometimes weekends are too noisy and you can't have a proper conversation.
Lovely card today Sue, beautiful colours. Hope you enjoy your birthday meal when it comes. you deserve some YOU time.xx

Glad you had a good birthday. Love this card but would like to see it a shade darker. Have the die so must try it.
Pretty card - I rather think the bow is 'overkill' though :)
A lovely card Sue. Balated birthday wishes to you xx
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
This is one of my favourite background dies and as such it is part of my die family.....though, as yet it remains unchristened, ooh the shame!....I love paper piecing and this little beauty lends itself to this technique perfectly....thanks for the tip on die cutting in green then removing all the pieces barring the leaves prior to sticking.....the soft blush and pale green is a lush combination, and the addition of the sparkle makes perfection. How nice to see the return of the squiggly edged sheer ribbon and dazzler, lovely finishing touch. This will be entering my must do, will do folder forthwith:-) Thanks for the inspiration Suexxxx
I am definitely, and ashamedly remiss.....I was absent yesterday which proved to be a very special occasion and for that I can only apologise profusely. Any excuse would be lame given the circumstances, all I can say now is I am so sorry Sue for not wishing you a very Happy Birthday on your special day. You are a wonderful, kind, considerate, humble and generous lady who deserves to be totally spoiled and pampered for the occasion and I am pleased that you spent the day surrounded by those closest to you. Wise move delaying your meal until later in the week, it will be less busy and the food will no doubt be a better quality as a result. Hope you enjoy your evening outxxx Can I just offer Yvonne's best wishes also, I spoke with her and she informed me that she's having problems getting internet access at the moment and couldn't extend her congratulations herself:-( Fear not though, normal service will be resumed shortly and she will no doubt send you a private message......
The glorious weather is still with us, and as a result my craftroom is developing a thick layer of dust as I choose to sit in the sunshine rather than make cards....I do feel slightly guilty but we have so little sun and warmth combined in Scotland I feel largely vindicated:-) I do hope that my fellow Wilsonettes are enjoying some favourable weather because it really invigorates you and lifts even the blackest of moods.
Tracy, so pleased that your Dads operation was successful and that he may get home tomorrow. I feel for him having to take those drinks like Fortisip, they are hideous....I had many years of being force fed them when I was being tube fed and I could never develop a taste for them, hopefully the stent will allow him the mince and tatties he cravesxxx
Nana Tina, glad to hear Mick is brighter and managing to tolerate some proper food, have you had any luck with the wheelchair though, a little bit of sunshine would do him the world of good?
Maria, sending you loads of hugs my dearxxxx
Theresa, hope you are well honeyxxxx
P, how are the little kittens doing? Is Floozy up to her old tricks again or has her little op turned her into a lady :-)?
Wheely Bad, hope you're managing to keep those dreaded migraines at bayxxx
Sending huge cuddles to Beth, Pat, Pam, Rebecca, Jan, Lorraine, Linda, Lynda, Frances and my bestie Yvonne , not to mention anyone in need of a hug for whatever reasonxxxx

Sue, Happy Birthday, belated as it is. Pretty card, as usual. Was able to get a couple of your things in Orlando on Friday at the convention. No postage and in the dollar, too. Desperately needed glue and was able to get it. Remember if you come this way to let me know. My invitation to buy your lunch is always open. Again, Happy Birthday. Myra from Florida
Such a pretty, delicate card today Sue. I don't usually go for pastels but I am loving pink, white and green lately.
So glad you had a good birthday yesterday it's well deserved.
Tracy, I hope your Dad continues to improve hun, hugs.
Mick, come on keep it up , I really hope some good times are around the corner for you and Tina.
Maria, thanks. Yes the sun seems to help.
I am hobbling at the moment as youngest wanted to go to Wookey Hole and it doesn't take much walking for my feet to play up.
Sending love n hugs to all xxx
Hello Sue
A really pretty card for today and as well as your lovely choice of colours I am imaging it in lots of other colour choices!
This die has just jumped to the top of my list!!!
Belated Birthday wishes for yesterday and I hope you enjoy your Birthday celebration meal.

Evening Sue. I have this background die and it always makes very pretty cards. Love it. Glad you had a lovely birthday and enjoy your birthday meal. Well done to all the winners. X
Hi Sue. Sorry I have not been around for a while lately. Life has been very hectic and I have really struggled to keep up with everything. Your card today is absolutely gorgeous !!! I love your pierced Roses background die so much I have been and ordered myself one today !!! I have just been loving all the cards you have been making with this die lately. I love the soft pastel colours you have used and I already have the fab New Zeland tag die so I am hoping to make this card when I receive my die. I really love some of the recent cards you have been making to. The Configurations card (Aqua and black) using the Milford adornment is amazing Sue !!! I am definately going to make this one to as I have ordered the Milford Adornment die just so that I can make this card !!! I really love the cards you have made using the New Zeland Collection dies as well, especially the card with the stunning New Zeland border and the gilding flakes. This one is Sooo gorgeous Sue !!! They all are. I cannot make them yet though as I am making two Fathers Day cards and decorating two matching paper bags to put little presents in. I usually decorate the bags with the same dies and colours but make a slightly different design. They go together as a set. I am using your beautiful mini striplet Intertwinning Circles. I am using foundations cardstock Bright White with Periwinkle Blue, Deep Blue, and Cornflower Blue. I am doing your filling in technique.
I am so sorry I missed your Birthday yesterday. I hope you had a wonderful day. Thank you Sue, for everything you do. Sending you lots of love and special Birthday hugs from Tres x x x
Sending lots of love to everyone from Tres x x x
