Hi crafters! Quite a smouldering looking card today with the black gloss and the autumnal mica powders. Every once in awhile you just have to cut loose and do something really different though, don't you!
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:
Betty McAlister!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card!
Today is the last day this week for my two hour show. It is from 2pm to 4pm! I do hope that you will be able to tune in!!
Lovely card Sue, it's gorgeous. Congratulations Betty
ReplyDeleteTracey, so sorry for all these problems. The power of attorney document is a good idea but it is expensive for some families. At HMRC we accept a firm called Deemed Carers Consent signed by the doctors. DWP may have a similar form. Has your dad got a social worker.
Tina and Mick good news that the babies brought such joy.
Elaine and boys hope all is going well.
Pat and Sarah big hugs
GM Sue. Such a dramatic and opulent card. Love it. Happy weekend all.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteVery different, very classy, love it

Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card. Rich in colours and very dramatic. Watched yesterdays shows this morning, loved the way you made a different looking flower out of the poppy die will have to try that one as they looked stunning and i thought the shadow box card was gorgeous. Have the machine ready to tape your shows this afternoon. Have a great day on the show and looking forward to seeing what else i can learn. Thanks for another great video. Congratulations to Betty on her win.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.

ReplyDeleteKathyB x
Great card Sue.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sue, but I really don't like this especially using the gloss black card, it feels more like a sympathy card. I do, however, like the Micah powder combination of colours. Sorry!

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card today, love the mica powders with the gloss black card, must give that a go it looks gorgeous. I really enjoyed yesterday's shows, hubby walked in as you were using pixie powders and he said 'that looks fun!' . I think that might mean you should get some of those 😀. Have a lovely day, you do look like you have fun when you're on tv.

ReplyDeleteGreat card, Sue, love the opulence - always like black with luxurious gold + a touch of mica too today for good measure. Thanks for the video, always good to have your brilliant techniques shown so clearly.
ReplyDeleteStill haven't seen the shows - guess it will be all catch-up!
Tracy - so sorry for your extra problem, hope it gets sorted - frustrating to spend energy on this when you need to have peaceful times with Dad. Sending you both big hugs.
And to all who need them.
Well done to Betty on the card win.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteI do have one person in mind when I saw this card she will love it. I bought your Christmas shadow box while at the NEC yesterday and it is so far out of my comfort zone I had a slight wobble on the way home, and then you show a brilliant shaker card on yesterdays shows so thank you so much. Rose was that your card shown on Sue's show it was amazing.
Love this card, it's really dramatic.
ReplyDeleteMichele
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow what a different card. Very striking. Love it. Have not had chance to watch tv shows yet but have recorded them and all set up to record today. 6hours of crafting with you great. Will have to wait untill other half is otherwise engaged, before I can sit down to enjoy. I have just recieved my pre ordered Christmas dies so cannot wait to start playing with them. Just got to find suitable occupation for Roger to free me up for few hours. House work will have to wait. Congratulations to lucky card winner.
Best wishes to all Hilary
Morning Sue. Very rich and opulent, love this card. I love black gloss card but always seem to get finger prints on it. Great shows yesterday, will be watching today.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Betty, enjoy your card.
Love the black gloss with mica Sue. I made oldest daughter some wall art a few years ago using mica on black gloss. Friends who visit her always ask where she bought them!
ReplyDeleteI recorded yesterdays show, Hubby wanted to watch the Welsh team play football. He was ecstatic when they won. Must admit I've never seen our football team play so well. Da iawn boyos.
Congrats to the card winner.
Hope everyone has a lovely crafty weekend.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteYou do amaze me with your beautiful card ideas ,todays card is so so beautiful , i love it all.
Congrats to Betty enjoy your card.
Thank you for the continued good wishes , i am pleased to say both my boys are home , Darren came home on Thursday evening and Andrew was allowed home yesterday teatime .This will make it so much easier for the caring and visiting as they live just 10 mins away from each other by car. Darren has a little pain that is expected from a double hernia and no way can he put his socks on but he is laughing about it.
Andrew has less energy than he had a week ago ,he is looking very weak and gaunt he has to go back to hospital a week on Monday to have the tube removed so we are hoping with good food and care he will be able to walk a little .
I hope you all have a lovely weekend
Take care and big hugs
Elaine H X
Good Morning, Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love this mean, moody and magnificent card. I now want to get some glossy black card as it's so effective.
Congratulations, Betty on winning this week's card. I know you are going to love it when you see it 'up close and personal'.

That's a stunning card Sue, so unusual when we're used to your 'pretty' cards with ribbons and flowers. :) Although you are making more cards using these colours nowadays.

ReplyDeleteLovely and quite dramatic. Will have to catch show on repeat as big golf weekend and finally allowed to play again.
ReplyDeletelovely design but a bit dark for me . I will copy it in lighter colours as I am sure it will look just as effective thanks for the idea and great video love yvon d grnnett xxb
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card. Very elegant and dramatic. Sorry i have missed your shows as we are away again.Thanks for your video which I will have to catch up with when we are home next week. Congratulations to the very lucky card winner.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Have you done a card with an autumnal feel because that is what the weather feels like today? The poor plants don't seem to be able to work out what season it is meant to be at the moment. Love today's card. Very dramatic possibly because you have used gloss black card. Stunning.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
Fabulous card very striking must dig out the flakes and try them again I get so
messy it has put me off but I recently purchased a Cosmic Shimmer very small pot
of flake and glitter glue (Highlighter) and it has a tiny brush so I am going to give
think it will make things easier for me.
Congrats to the card winner

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA very striking card with the mica background and as always great video. Yesterday's show was brilliant and thank you for the idea of the shadow box shaker card will definitely be making one of those maybe with all those cut out hearts I've been saving up. Congratulations to Betty how wonderful to win one of Sues cards
Yvonne at least you made Sue laugh on air saying you were her number 1 fan, Laine you might need to stage a revolutions!!!
Rose your card was fabulous
Maureen hope you're feeling better And caring hugs to Tracy, Nanna Tina, Elaine and Wheely
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card - Internet problems at the moment! Love Myra x
Hi Sue, other Wilsonettes have called this card striking, opulent and dramatic. I can't disagree with any of the descriptions but I'm sorry, it is not for me (glad I am not the only one though). I love the dies you have used and the mica powders make a gorgeous background but it is just so .... black! I enjoyed yesterday's TV shows and am looking forward to this afternoon's, I am saving the ironing until 2pm so that I will get peace to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteElaine - glad both boys are home again but sorry that Andrew is struggling with his recovery. Hopefully being at home will help him improve.
Steph - hope your long journey home is not too uncomfortable for you and that your breathing is easier.
Betty Mc - Congratulations on being the Wednesday Winner, enjoy your beautiful card.

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteWell although this isn't a me card Sue, i would make it for my daughters mil as it would be chosen styling. There's too much black for me but hey you know that i don't do black but just a hint of it does me. I can see me trying this out for Marie the fact that i know she would love it and although i don't have this die, have another one of your lovely designs that i could use to achieve the same effect. Marie is like the men that we all know, so difficult to make a card for as she doesn't do frills, lace, bows or bling of any sort and it will be her birthday next month so hey that would be me all sorted for it. Thank you Sue for a great piece of inspiration that will go down well and have fun on the show today flower.
Well done Betty upon winning this weeks beautiful card, it is so beautiful in the white and beautiful shade of blue that it has peeking through.
Awh Tracy flower, how i know all about your frustration as mum and i went through the same with dad's various things and he just wasn't here at all in the last fortnight to be able to know who we were never mind anything else. Mum she did a power of Attorney form for me so that if and she did, go down hill i could see to her things but that was 9 years ago and it cost her well over £1000 but i don't know what else she had done to incur such a cost. Sending you and your poor wee dad some extra hugs, i'm thinking about you flower and i hope that you can take your dad home soon, where he wants to be as we didn't get that chance which upset both mum and i because we knew that was his dearest wish, to go at home in his own bed.
Elaine, i hope that your two boys are improving in their respective hospitals and that you get them home soon flower. Sending hugs to you and them and i hope that Andrew especially has turned the corner and getting back some strength day by day.
Tina, is Mick improving and more so now that he has two bonnie grandchildren that really need their favourite grampa to take them a walk in their prams. Sending hugs down to you and Mick, but i hope you are looking after yourself as well. Going back and forward to hospital can really knock arise out of you as well so please try and look after yourself as well.
Well i'm hoping that the lovely day that it looks at the moment will stay with us as yesterday was looked lovely one minute and came down cats and dogs the next. I have got an ill little soldier today which is not at all like Rory, he is never ill but he has been complaining of stomach cramps since yesterday afternoon, not having his dinner last night and then to end up vomiting endlessly during the night. We now have shaking stevens legs, dizziness and still not right so i am not letting him go out with his carer today, as i don't want him collapsing when he is out. He is right into walking at the moment when he goes out with his carers, at the least 3 miles ranging up to 6 miles depending on where they go. He asked to go up and around Stirling University grounds last week and the poor carer came back fair puggled as he just isn't used to that amount of time on his legs. Rory has always loved going around places like the dam up in Sauchie and nice walks where he can see all the different life that goes around, as i had him out walking with me and his sister from any age. I used to love going on a walk with them and half way we would call in at the cafe for a drink and maybe an icecream or ice lolly and then we would walk back home again. Mum used to do that with us so it has always been something that i really loved to do and its wonderful to see so many different things that you miss travelling in a car.
Anyway i will say goodbye and hugs to all who need, want or could do with
love and crafty hugs
Norah (glenochil)

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. Just had my mica powders out the other day...had been a long time since I used them....love your technique using them....and I love the glossy black cardstock. I'm so into glossy and/or metallic cards right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great video!
Jan D., Florida, USA
Beautiful card today Sue, thoroughly enjoying you shows will be recording todays, so that I can watch them in peace! I have been making a card today with your dies, all except one, and I must say the difference is quite marked, yours are really superior in every way. Good luck with todays shows Edwina
ReplyDelete"Smoldering"? Yes, smoldering is a great adjective for this card. I have never seen "smoldering" used as a description for a card before, but "smoldering" definitely seems to describe your card today. Thanks for the video and great techniques. Wishing you a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThankyou for another great video, a very striking card, love the colour combo. Looking forward to your show later today.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card, my granddaughter and i love using the mica powder we find it great fun. She is here with me today and we've watched your shows. Now we're off to craft😃😃. Regards Heather R Oxfordshire and Ruby R Oxfordshire.
Great shows today Sue. Watching you has given me my mojo back as I've not been able to do any die cutting with my GC as it's on it's last legs but if I buy more dies, my friend will share her machine with me until I decide on a new one. Any recommendations Wilsonetes? Another beautiful card today. Love the colours. Have a great weekend everyone . Hugs xx P Austen
ReplyDeleteHi sue.
ReplyDeleteFabulous card. I love the look of gilding but I get into such a mess I don't do messy!!! Lol but I'm loving ur shows lots of technique hint and tips. I'm so glad u share!!!
Well ladies. Dad didn't get home yesterday :-(
He now is struggling and his body isn't coping well when they remove the oxygen tubes.
They also told us we won't have long with him but how long is long I dunno. It's killing me watching him fade away and feel so useless even tho I'm doing everything I can I feel it's just not enough.
Thanks for all ur help yesterday regarding the power of autorney. I managed to dort out the last bank we just had to get dad to sign a special mandate.
As for the phone contract my sister called them and they cancelled it no bother. It just shows u it depends who u talk to. Mind u it was an ee person I got. I thought it was the same company that own both!
So all is good I can stop worrying so much about stuff an concentrate my time with him.
Thank u all for being there. This seems to be my outlet at the minute.
Thinking of all of u who are also having hard times I just forget to mention all the names as there are so many caring folk on the blog
Love to all xx
Ps congrats to Betty on her win!!!! Xx
DeleteWow Sue this is very elegant, i love the rich golds with the black.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed catching up with all the wonderful show and must say i absolutely
loved todays demo with the pixie powder and the hugs die.
I was just blown away with that fabulous mixture of colours and i am
now thinking i just have to get some of those powders.
They just look like so much fun and must remember what you said about squeazing the bottle lol.
Stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Very dramatic card today which is wonderful. Black and gold together are always stunning.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your congratulations and yes Helen, I was over the moon when I saw my name chosen to win that beautiful card which I will treasure.
Have recorded your shows Sue as life a bit hectic at present but hope to catch up later tonight.

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Sue, love this.xx
ReplyDeleteGood evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteJoy of joys, another video day to savour AND a two hr show to look forward to tonight....I Recorded it on Sky+ Earlier.....so I am a very happy bunny this evening, no more wall to wall football:-)
Today's card is just my cup of tea, I love black in a card and add to that the glossy top coat and I'm like a pig in s##t :-) I can never quite understand what it is that revolts so many of our dear Wilsonettes when faced with a bit of black cardstock, I personally find it classy, sophisticated, elegant and in today's example , both rich and opulent, but each to their own I guess:-) I have just spent a small fortune on mica powders of varying shades which would work really well with this design....just have to get the dies though, oh dear:-)
I've had a busy afternoon and couldn't catch your shows but no one will dare to interrupt me this evening, it's just you, me, a diet coke and some suitably calorific nibbles Sue, I'll be in my pjs watching from the comfort of my kingsize bed admiring your prowess.....you are so charismatic and presenting comes to you so effortlessly, you are a joy to watch and how lucky are we to have the pleasure of your company again on a couple of weeks:-)
It didn't escape my attention that some charlatan told the Hochanda presenter that they were your no.1 fan!??!? The cheek of it when we all know that I am your most loyal, dedicated and adoring fan, how presumptuous of them! They gave there name as Yvonne and that doesn't surprise me in the slightest because she is known to be pushy, gobby and totally deluded and making a wild statement like that on air is totally in character for her:-) despite the delusional belief in her elevated status she does have moments of clarity, she uses them to try to sully my character in the knowledge that I am her superior partner....sad but true.....but Sue knows better, she can't be bought with offers of sweet treats, she is far too honourable for that. In fact, Yvonne has an evil plan to sabotage my meeting with Sue at Ally Pally by giving her such a sugar high from her fudge that Sue is rendered incoherent and delirious....I offered to make something to satisfy Sues sweet tooth but was given short shrift, it seems she wants all the glory.....I will leave her to her games, it makes not a jot of difference to the fact that I am in pole position:-)
Tracy, you sound absolutely frazzled honey, hang on in there though you're doing a great job, it's the best you can do under the circumstances. I'm glad that you can use the blog as a release, that will really help you in the coming months. How frustrating to be told that your Dad doesn't have long.....does that mean days, weeks, months? My advice is to take each day one at a time and make it count. Sending you huge healing hugsxxxx
Maria, Theresa, this is a forum appreciating cardcraft not blood sports! Your lust for carnage between Yvonne and me is slightly disturbing even if it is well placed. I'm trying to foster a more amiable relationship will her in preparation for my visit and really don't appreciate voyeurs stoking the fire:-)
Pat, pay no attention to the rubbish you heard, Sue was laughing at the absurdity of the notion and you know the real truth don't you?:-)
Sarah is a little trouper, school so soon after her ordeal just shows how kids bounce back and we could do well to follow their examplexxx
Elaine, Glad to hear that Darren and Andrew are back home, wishing them a speedy recoveryxxxx
Hugs to nana Tina and Mickxxxx
Cuddles to all my blog buddies, off to watch Sue now, what bliss.......
Crafty hugs,
