A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! We are back to three a week videos for awhile. Today's video card features a bit of dimensional layering and a pretty way to create a flower with a bit different look to it too.
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
What a lovely card, love the poppies Elaine, you are doing the right thing, what a nightmare neighbour, you will never get anywhere with her yourself. I hope Andrew is better today, such a brave man. Tina, Mick has really got an appetite, just wish he could be more comfortable, they say August is going to be much cooler. Trish, what a nightmare, I haven't been abroad since Tim died 2 years ago, things like this and the terrorist attacks put me off. Tracey, you are always in my thoughts, 1 Day at a time, honey. Donna, thinking of you for yesterday. I have to agree with the ladies yesterday, it is sad to see people who only visit when there are giveaways, Sue deserves so much better than that. Hugs to all Wilsonettes, have a good day, my daughter and the twins are taking me for a Carvery tea after work today, the boys love it but Jack won't eat meat that he has to chew lol.
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Thank you for another amazing card, what a coincidence you publishing this today as only last night I was watching it on your YouTube channel. What beautiful dies and card colours you have chosen to share with us. We are blessed as crafters to have such a fantastic teacher with all your ideas and techniques that you share with us. Love and crafty hugs Tina T 💐💐💐
Beautiful card Sue. I think the poppy along with the Christmas Rose are my favourite flower dies. Thank you for all your videos which I often watch. They are a great source of inspiration along with your blog. Marion S x
Good morning Sue. Lovely card and the poppies look interesting, I'll have to wait until later to watch the video to see how you've made them. Elaine, I hope you get sorted with the housing officer, you can't go on like this with your dreadful neighbour. I agree with everyones comments re daily blog numbers dropping, it doesn't take long to leave a kind word for Sue to say thanks for all she does. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Morning Sue. My small clump of grey matter is completely fuddled. I've seen this recently or it's twin ! I can't imagin you have posted this beauty twice in a matter of weeks, not unless your brain is as fuddled as mine, which I doubt very much lol so now I'm going to have to wake up this small grey clump of mush and think where I've seen it, ahhh - could it be the fb group - could be as Beverly F posts some magnificent work that could be passed as work done by your clever hands, I shall have to investigate later lol. It's so nice to see how different your poppy dies look with just a few brush strokes of colour. Yes I love all your collections since the very first set you designed, but the flowers, how I adore all the flowers cuz with the smallest of tweaks they can look so different, every single flower die you create must have half a dozen or more ways to shape and mould to make them look so different and I love it. We have to list the dies used when uploading our work to the fb page and sometimes the members have lovingly folded petals and moulded them to such a degree that if it wasn't listed you wouldn't believe it's the peony or the daisy or sweet little sweetheart dies, it just confirms (especially to the new crafters that have found your dies - and there's a fair few now Sue) just how versatile your collections are, there is so much we'll deserved praise for you in those groups ☺ Well I'll leave you to it. How glad I am that it's cooled off, it was just about bringing me to my knees. I'm so glad I have Particraft and the fb group and my other go to CE designer pages to help me through as on countdown to my next lot of nasty treatment on Friday. How I'd love to sleep Thursday and wake up Saturday ! Hohum. Sending you big hugs and lots of thank you's for all you do xxx
Morning Sue. This is a gorgeous card. Love the way you have put the brush lines on the poppies, it makes them look so different more life like. I have noticed a few new e/b folders on your cards so off to the craft shop to see what they have in as it seems an age since i got some new ones lol. Thanks for another great video. Have a lovely day Sue. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Hi Sue A beautiful card and gorgeous blues ,oh i so love the poppies .
Pam,,,,,have a lovely meal after work , you can not beat a good carvery .
The head Housing Officer was on leave yesterday however i spoke to another lady who offered to take all particulars to pass on to her so i asked her to record everything i said . She could not understand why a Tenant had a pet anyway and especially with not being on the ground floor { she also said "she thought the rule was no pets"? } Oh well we will have to see if the head officer gave her permission or if i have been told porkies . As for the noise level ,she said it will not be tolerated ,i am having a log book sent to fill in all further noise etc. Andrew went to the Doctors yesterday he said the pain was from the surgery that was now healing The upset tummy was from the Iron Tablets plus the additional Iron Foods { that are not needed now } as the tablets are very strong . So fingers crossed again that he feels better today.
Have a lovely day everyone Big Hugs to all Elaine H X
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous. I can't wait to watch the video to see how you have created the stripes on the poppies. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Morning Sue, Beautiful !! I really must try this technique with the inverted die-cut, it is so effective. I will be watching your 'how to' video later. Lots of love from Patricia xx
A lovely card this morning. Loving the poppies with their little eyelashes as u call them lol.
I see there's a few new names on the blog I guess everyone's noticed the comments from yesterday. Which I def agree with. U don't have to read all the comments but it's lovely to leave one tho.
Thanks for sharing with us sue I for one don't know what I'd do without ur daily inspiration as well as the lovely ladies I've grown to love over the past year for their kindness and well wishes.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I saw this card on you tube recently and loved it then and still do now, I will watch it again and again as I do all of them Sue, you are so inspirational and talented and you are always and I mean always there for all us crafty friends with help and assistance or even to just listen too, a true friend.
Pam I know you are going to enjoy your carvery, what a lovely treat.
Elaine, you sound like you have the neighbours from hell, but the housing officer must sort this out, when you get the history book, keep all the details, don't forget the time, date and peoples names too if necessary, and you could use your mobile camera if it is required as well. Hopefully Andrew is better today.
Tina and Mick, I hope you are feeling much better now that the iron tablets etc. are kicking in, this heat takes it out of all of us too.
Tracey, we are all here for you hugs my friend
Donna, also thinking of you for yesterday.
Yes the ladies yesterday hit the nail on the head when they said that lots of people are only out for what they can get, it is no hardship at all to visit your blog daily Sue, it is so useful and I am sure many of these people would benefit so much. I as you know, am an avid follower as are all your Wilsonettes.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I love butterflies and flowers so this card is perfect for me. Really like that embossing folder and how you made the flowers too, I will definitely be trying that one with my poppy dies. Thank you Sue. Xx
Hi Sue, Thank you for another beautiful card, it's just so, so lovely. I must do more with layering down because it looks so effective. And I LOVE what you've done to the poppies. Thank you for your videos, they make daunting tasks so much more doable. Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue, lovely card, I am a great fan of poppies, I will watch the video later as I'm off to help in our wee craft shop at a Pirate Hunt around the shopping precinct. Have a lovely day everyone, take care, Jess xxx

Hi Sue Gorgeous card today and great video, love the eyelashes on the poppies. Thank you for sharing. It's nice to have 3 videos to look forward to. Take care Love Diane G xxx Elaine it's good the lady thought the behaviour was unacceptable too, makes you feel it's not just you. Let's hope it's sorted soon. It's good to hear andrew is making good progress xxx Sending hugs to Tina and Mick and a special hug for Tracey xxx
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Really pretty card sue x I love watching your videos they really are a treat x the poppy die will definately be my next purchase I adore all the different ways you have used them x thankyou so much sue for your daily inspiration x Sending hugs and good wishes to all the wilsonettes x everything you are all going through day to day and still come here and support sue you really are all wonderful xxx Theresa w xxx
Hi Sue, I love the new butterfly embossing folder and the glittered recessed background. The poppies are so pretty, they look completely different every time you use them.
Myra - the boys did well, didn't they.
Pam - enjoy your carvery and I am sure there will be something for Jack :)
Laine and Yvonne - you really need to co-ordinate your postings better or we will think you are trying to avoid each other lol
Hi Sue Such a pretty card, I use this colour combination quite often, the poppy die reminds me of anaenomes when cut in the purple shades. I use poppy stamps in this way and the results are very effective. Regards Heather R Oxfordshire
Just beautiful Sue. I've got the poppies & you can make so many different looking flowers with them. They look lovely made with vellum too. The butterfly EF is now on my must-have list! Thanks Sue xx
Hello Sue, Great video and beautiful card! Love the eyelashes! They really are cute almost making the poppy gentian like! Your flowers are the BEST! Pam - I hope you have a ovely evening with the family. I'm sure you will! I'm sure the meat will be easy to chew!!! France's - they did very well! Just hope the injury to Ben Stokes isn't too bad! Love and hugs to Tracy and Nana Tina . Myra x
Love the card Sue. Must try this with my poppy dies. Will watch the video later, probably this evening. More chance then that's if the Internet is being good. Hope so. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card Sue as always. So glad we have three videos a week again. Really look forward to them and trying my best to recreate most of them. Thank you so much xx
I just love your videos. You are so professional, easy to understand, very clear with your instructions, and fun to watch. I think I like this butterfly embossing folder. I don't think I have seen one in the market place with such tiny flying butterflies before this one of yours. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more of your videos.
Gorgeous card Sue, I love the colour, I'm in trouble with OH cos I've spent too much money on dies this week, I have bought eight in two weeks, but I say it's my hobby and I love making cards and Sue's dies are to die for, lol, thing is I seem to have lost my mojo a bit, I'm at the stroking and admiring stage but will be back crafting soon I'm sure, hugs to all wilsonettes Johanna

Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes, I love your butterfly folder Sue with the tiny butterflies on it, i have two other butterfly folders which are quite similar to each other but this is a lovely one and more in keeping with the size of cards that we are making. I don't have the pansy dies as yet but that's only as yet but we will see how the funds go as i am saving up for a couple of days away again with some beautiful friends and at the moment October can't come soon enough. Your card as usual is beautiful Sue and gives our little grey cells a workout as to what we can do to change up ours from what you have designed. Thank you flower for bringing your crafty ideas our way and making a little high spot that we can look forward to. Elaine flower, my mum and dad tried for 10 years almost to get a swap, exchange, buy a house in their very limited budget just because of the neighbours from hell and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. Please note every disturbance of anything as they need to see how it is impedeing on your life before they decide to do anything. The police were even in our house a couple of times that our through the wall neighbour was doing everything she and her family could to make our lives unbearable. She had called the police saying that her husband was dying(which was true poor soul) and he couldn't get any peace for the barking of our dog constantly. What was making the dog bark was her hammering on her poor old husbands' bedroom wall through to our bathroom to deliberately make the dog bark and show just how i poor old lady and her dying husband had such terrible neighbours. The police were in at the time she started hammering once more having not realised that they had arrived. The police had actually parked in the next small street that was adjacent to ours and came to our back door instead of the front where she would have seen them coming. That was one of the milder incidents at that woman's hands as we got our windows bricked by her, she set fire to her backgarden and blamed us, she put lit papers through our letter box to name but the very tip of a tall iceberg. I hope that your housing authorities do more for you flower, i truly do as i just wouldn't wish the neighbours from hell on anyone, sending you hugs. Tracy, sending you some hugs to flower just to keep you going as i know just how hard your road is that you have to get along. Hugs to all those who need, want or could do with, love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue Stunning card, love the poppies still not been able to watch the last video as phone just turns them off but I will not let it beat me Micks enjoyed his weetabix and egg and chips, but had to get GP to see him as spasms where not letting up so he has upt his oramorph and is waiting to see what neurologist says in 2 weeks whether his meds need reviewing, awaiting for a call from Macmillan as they are going to give us some support, we go over to private carers tomorrow so a bit anxious having new ones but we will be OK, for 14 hours a week it's nearly £200 good job we get some help, thank you all for all your hugs, kind words and wishes they mean the world to me Happy crafting Love and hugs to all Love Tina xxxx
Hello Sue The Poppy die is now at the top of my to get list I just love all your flower dies. Pam I hope you enjoy your meal tonight. Stephanie will be thinking of you on Friday. Elaine I hope your neighbour problem is sorted soon. Tina it's terrible you have to pay for carers I hope Micks spasms improve they must be so frightening.
Nice card, Sue, delighted to see Tuesday video back. Sorry late, been out since 7.30 a.m. - just back and lots of hungry little faces waiting. Will watch video tomorrow, thanks in advance. ALso will read through comments.... hope all okay.
Evening Sue and everyone. Stunning card and thank you for a great tutorial video. Love watching you at work making up the cards. I agree with all who mention about people who only posting comments when their is up for a freebie, shame on you !
Special hugs to Tracy, hope you doing alright. Tina, nice to hear Mick is eating some. Take care both of you, hugs Pat L- have a lovely time in France. Thinking of taking the car over next year,any nice places you can recommend ? Pam, have a fab. time at the Carvery and I'm sure Jack found something to eat, if nothing else the puddings are rather good :-) Take care. Craftynanna, enjoy stroking and admiring your new dies (8!!) It's a wonderful hobby but your purse is always empty somehow :-) Yvonne and Lorraine, hope you are ok and survived the conversation on the telephone and have not fallen out with eachother, hugs to you both xx Elaine, you go girl. If no pets allowed then it should be no pets. Hope you get it all sorted asap. Hope Andrew had a good day. Wheelybad, you have been very busy lately so hope you now get some ME time. Take care and cuddles to Billy. Sending special hugs to all who need one, I have plenty to give
Hi Sue. WOW !!! Yet another beautiful card !!! I really love the techniques you have shown in today's video. The Belgian collection dies look fab Sue and I love the look you created using the inside fancy die, backing it with the sticky sheet and covering it with glitter, then using a piece of cut apperture card that you put over the top which was embossed with your beautiful butterflies folder. These techniques combined together really produced such stunning results !!! I also love what you did with the main inside topper die cut with the Iris card. This is a really beautiful card Sue. I think the flowers you have made using your Poppies dies are amazing Sue !!! A fab idea to use a pen to highlight the petals of the flowers, really making the flower stand out, and tying the whole card together with blue ink used on the edges of the petals. I never think to add a black pearl to the centres of the flowers !!! It really gives them such a different look instead of using white ones. I have the Poppies dies and I love them. I will definately use black pearls with them now !!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful card today. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
Hi Sue & everyone Gorgeous card today I love the poppies I have the die so will try the eyelashes. Thank you for sharing such a stunning car today. Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xxxlł Special hug's fo TRACY & family'xxx Wheelybad Special hug's for you & Billry Elaine hope ANDREW sending hugs for you both TIna & Mike too xx
Evening Sue Well what a lovely surprise - it's Tuesday and we have a video. How spoilt are we? 3 a week again. Have not had the chance to watch the video yet but will do soon x Love this card. The poppies are so gorgeously versatile. One of my favourite colours and all in all a gorgeous combination of everything lovely. Thanks Sue x Well didn't get those cards made - that's the bad news!! The good news is that I did not traumatize myself by ripping into the elegance paper pad. Lol x This evening I popped round to have a cuppa with the friend who is housing George at the moment since he 'left home'! Just at a loss as to how to get these pesky kids sorted. I think I should get a one bedroom flat and leave them to it. How easy life would be with no one else but me to worry about x Consequently I had to inform Laine that I would not be able to accommodate her usual Tuesday evening moaning!! We spoke late afternoon but I managed to make my excuses and only had to tolerate her for about 15 minutes. Unfortunately I will have to speak to her again Thursday evening as she realised I am free and I could not make up an excuse quick enough!! Lol x She is very demanding and already started to inform me of her expectations and needs that she will require during her stay in September. An endless supply of cheesecake and Sainsbury's fruit iced lollies are just a couple of 'requirements' which have been mentioned. Delusions of grandeur can make people insufferable. Lol x OK it's late and I am heading for bed. Elaine and Tina - sending hugs your way x Tracy - lots of love x Love and hugs to P, Lorraine, Wheely, Maria (and Laine I suppose)! Of course love and hugs to everyone and if I have forgotten any of my 'banter buddies' I am sorry - not intentional x Take care Sending love and happy thoughts Crafty hugs Yvonne x
I love this poppy die, so useful for such a variety of flowers, this card is just so pretty. Have the dies so just have to give it a go....thanks Sue, luv Ursula xx
Amazing card. Love the butterfly embossing folder. I've managed to watch today's super video now I'm back in the land of broadband. Hope to catch up tomorrow with the videos from the last couple of weeks. Elaine, hope your visit to the housing office produces a result quickly. You don't need any more stress. Take care everyone.
Hi Sue Sorry this one's a bit late,must have had brain fade yesterday to miss this one!!!! I absolutely love the Poppy's & the card is beautiful,thank you for the video Best wishes Karen M
Hi Sue Another beautiful card and great video. Your embossing folders really are exquisite. Love the butterflies. Thanks again for more great inspiration. With Best Wishes Elaine Ann.

Elaine, you are doing the right thing, what a nightmare neighbour, you will never get anywhere with her yourself. I hope Andrew is better today, such a brave man.
Tina, Mick has really got an appetite, just wish he could be more comfortable, they say August is going to be much cooler.
Trish, what a nightmare, I haven't been abroad since Tim died 2 years ago, things like this and the terrorist attacks put me off.
Tracey, you are always in my thoughts, 1 Day at a time, honey.
Donna, thinking of you for yesterday.
I have to agree with the ladies yesterday, it is sad to see people who only visit when there are giveaways, Sue deserves so much better than that.
Hugs to all Wilsonettes, have a good day, my daughter and the twins are taking me for a Carvery tea after work today, the boys love it but Jack won't eat meat that he has to chew lol.

A beautiful card and gorgeous blues ,oh i so love the poppies .
Pam,,,,,have a lovely meal after work , you can not beat a good carvery .
The head Housing Officer was on leave yesterday however i spoke to another lady who offered to take all particulars to pass on to her so i asked her to record everything i said .
She could not understand why a Tenant had a pet anyway and especially with not being on the ground floor { she also said "she thought the rule was no pets"? } Oh well we will have to see if the head officer gave her permission or if i have been told porkies .
As for the noise level ,she said it will not be tolerated ,i am having a log book sent to fill in all further noise etc.
Andrew went to the Doctors yesterday he said the pain was from the surgery that was now healing
The upset tummy was from the Iron Tablets plus the additional Iron Foods { that are not needed now } as the tablets are very strong . So fingers crossed again that he feels better today.
Have a lovely day everyone

Hi Sue, I love the new butterfly embossing folder and the glittered recessed background. The poppies are so pretty, they look completely different every time you use them.
Myra - the boys did well, didn't they.
Pam - enjoy your carvery and I am sure there will be something for Jack :)
Laine and Yvonne - you really need to co-ordinate your postings better or we will think you are trying to avoid each other lol

Hi Sue
Such a pretty card, I use this colour combination quite often, the poppy die reminds me of anaenomes when cut in the purple shades.
I use poppy stamps in this way and the results are very effective.

Just beautiful Sue. I've got the poppies & you can make so many different looking flowers with them. They look lovely made with vellum too. The butterfly EF is now on my must-have list! Thanks Sue xx
Hi Sue and everyone
A gorgeous card today Sue. Love the colours and all of the dies used, especially the poppies used this way. Great video too, a nice surprise.
Love Helen xxx
Hello Sue,
Great video and beautiful card! Love the eyelashes! They really are cute almost making the poppy gentian like!
Your flowers are the BEST!
Pam - I hope you have a ovely evening with the family. I'm sure you will! I'm sure the meat will be easy to chew!!!
France's - they did very well! Just hope the injury to Ben Stokes isn't too bad!
Love and hugs to Tracy and Nana Tina .

I just love your videos. You are so professional, easy to understand, very clear with your instructions, and fun to watch. I think I like this butterfly embossing folder. I don't think I have seen one in the market place with such tiny flying butterflies before this one of yours. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to more of your videos.
LOVE these pretty flowers!! I really love that the twine matches so perfectly!! A truly lovely card that anyone would be honored to receive!! TFS!
Love this embossing folder Sue - you're obviously going through a blue and white phase at the moment, that's 3 in a row! Susan x
Gorgeous card Sue, I love the colour, I'm in trouble with OH cos I've spent too much money on dies this week, I have bought eight in two weeks, but I say it's my hobby and I love making cards and Sue's dies are to die for, lol, thing is I seem to have lost my mojo a bit, I'm at the stroking and admiring stage but will be back crafting soon I'm sure, hugs to all wilsonettes Johanna

Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes,
I love your butterfly folder Sue with the tiny butterflies on it, i have two other butterfly folders which are quite similar to each other but this is a lovely one and more in keeping with the size of cards that we are making. I don't have the pansy dies as yet but that's only as yet but we will see how the funds go as i am saving up for a couple of days away again with some beautiful friends and at the moment October can't come soon enough. Your card as usual is beautiful Sue and gives our little grey cells a workout as to what we can do to change up ours from what you have designed. Thank you flower for bringing your crafty ideas our way and making a little high spot that we can look forward to.
Elaine flower, my mum and dad tried for 10 years almost to get a swap, exchange, buy a house in their very limited budget just because of the neighbours from hell and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. Please note every disturbance of anything as they need to see how it is impedeing on your life before they decide to do anything. The police were even in our house a couple of times that our through the wall neighbour was doing everything she and her family could to make our lives unbearable. She had called the police saying that her husband was dying(which was true poor soul) and he couldn't get any peace for the barking of our dog constantly. What was making the dog bark was her hammering on her poor old husbands' bedroom wall through to our bathroom to deliberately make the dog bark and show just how i poor old lady and her dying husband had such terrible neighbours. The police were in at the time she started hammering once more having not realised that they had arrived. The police had actually parked in the next small street that was adjacent to ours and came to our back door instead of the front where she would have seen them coming. That was one of the milder incidents at that woman's hands as we got our windows bricked by her, she set fire to her backgarden and blamed us, she put lit papers through our letter box to name but the very tip of a tall iceberg. I hope that your housing authorities do more for you flower, i truly do as i just wouldn't wish the neighbours from hell on anyone, sending you hugs.
Tracy, sending you some hugs to flower just to keep you going as i know just how hard your road is that you have to get along.
Hugs to all those who need, want or could do with,
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue
Stunning card, love the poppies still not been able to watch the last video as phone just turns them off but I will not let it beat me
Micks enjoyed his weetabix and egg and chips, but had to get GP to see him as spasms where not letting up so he has upt his oramorph and is waiting to see what neurologist says in 2 weeks whether his meds need reviewing, awaiting for a call from Macmillan as they are going to give us some support, we go over to private carers tomorrow so a bit anxious having new ones but we will be OK, for 14 hours a week it's nearly £200 good job we get some help, thank you all for all your hugs, kind words and wishes they mean the world to me
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to all
Love Tina xxxx

Evening Sue and everyone.
Stunning card and thank you for a great tutorial video.
Love watching you at work making up the cards.
I agree with all who mention about people who only
posting comments when their is up for a freebie,
shame on you !
Special hugs to Tracy, hope you doing alright.
Tina, nice to hear Mick is eating some. Take care both
of you, hugs
Pat L- have a lovely time in France. Thinking of taking the
car over next year,any nice places you can recommend ?
Pam, have a fab. time at the Carvery and I'm sure Jack
found something to eat, if nothing else the puddings are
rather good :-) Take care.
Craftynanna, enjoy stroking and admiring your new dies (8!!)
It's a wonderful hobby but your purse is always empty somehow :-)
Yvonne and Lorraine, hope you are ok and survived the conversation
on the telephone and have not fallen out with eachother, hugs to
you both xx
Elaine, you go girl. If no pets allowed then it should be no pets.
Hope you get it all sorted asap. Hope Andrew had a good day.
Wheelybad, you have been very busy lately so hope you now
get some ME time. Take care and cuddles to Billy.
Sending special hugs to all who need one, I have plenty to give

Lovely card. I love the way you've made the flowers look so different.
Hi Sue. WOW !!! Yet another beautiful card !!! I really love the techniques you have shown in today's video. The Belgian collection dies look fab Sue and I love the look you created using the inside fancy die, backing it with the sticky sheet and covering it with glitter, then using a piece of cut apperture card that you put over the top which was embossed with your beautiful butterflies folder. These techniques combined together really produced such stunning results !!! I also love what you did with the main inside topper die cut with the Iris card. This is a really beautiful card Sue. I think the flowers you have made using your Poppies dies are amazing Sue !!! A fab idea to use a pen to highlight the petals of the flowers, really making the flower stand out, and tying the whole card together with blue ink used on the edges of the petals. I never think to add a black pearl to the centres of the flowers !!! It really gives them such a different look instead of using white ones. I have the Poppies dies and I love them. I will definately use black pearls with them now !!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful card today. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
Sending lots of love to everyone from Tres x x x

Evening Sue
Well what a lovely surprise - it's Tuesday and we have a video. How spoilt are we? 3 a week again. Have not had the chance to watch the video yet but will do soon x
Love this card. The poppies are so gorgeously versatile. One of my favourite colours and all in all a gorgeous combination of everything lovely. Thanks Sue x
Well didn't get those cards made - that's the bad news!! The good news is that I did not traumatize myself by ripping into the elegance paper pad. Lol x
This evening I popped round to have a cuppa with the friend who is housing George at the moment since he 'left home'! Just at a loss as to how to get these pesky kids sorted. I think I should get a one bedroom flat and leave them to it. How easy life would be with no one else but me to worry about x
Consequently I had to inform Laine that I would not be able to accommodate her usual Tuesday evening moaning!! We spoke late afternoon but I managed to make my excuses and only had to tolerate her for about 15 minutes. Unfortunately I will have to speak to her again Thursday evening as she realised I am free and I could not make up an excuse quick enough!! Lol x
She is very demanding and already started to inform me of her expectations and needs that she will require during her stay in September. An endless supply of cheesecake and Sainsbury's fruit iced lollies are just a couple of 'requirements' which have been mentioned. Delusions of grandeur can make people insufferable. Lol x
OK it's late and I am heading for bed.
Elaine and Tina - sending hugs your way x
Tracy - lots of love x
Love and hugs to P, Lorraine, Wheely, Maria (and Laine I suppose)!
Of course love and hugs to everyone and if I have forgotten any of my 'banter buddies' I am sorry - not intentional x
Take care
Sending love and happy thoughts
Crafty hugs
