Striplet as Corners Card
Hi bloggers! I love that you can use even the leftover bits of a die cut. Today's video shows you how to use your striplet die for pretty corner pieces too.
The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Gorgeous card Sue, just lovely. Yvonne, catch me if you can, lol. I'm up this early as I go to work just after 6. I wouldn't mind if you were 1st. Tina T, hope hubby so appointment went well. Elaine, has Andrew heard yet, hope the leg is still improving and the crochet will be fine, don't give up. Tracey, no I'm not pamscrafts, I'm just plain Pam Hackett, but the hair does sound swish. I used to have red hair and it turned like a white blonde colour, totally bypassed the grey/ salt and pepper stage. I'll try to find you on Facebook. Tina and Mick, hope you are well. Hugs to all and missing friends.
Morning Sue. What a beauty. You are the first to bring a smile to my face each morning, and this morning's smile is just slightly larger as yet again this is my kind of card with its delicate shade of pink and the framing, and how you've backed the frame with the striplet die, these circle dies have to be the next large purchase for me as I just love the effect frames bring to a project. Not sure if Beverly has done something similar on the SWCE fb page, but that too was delicate and beautiful just like today's sample (you have a crafting twin Sue) lol. Thank you for making me smile again. So have a good day and take these hugs hopefully they will keep you smiling too xx
Gorgeous card, Sue, boringly repeating how much I love the nobles, especially with the colour cloud centre to the frame. Waste not.... as they say - pretty corners, too. Thank you for another great video. Glad to see the twosome back in banter mode, thanks for the laughs. Would love to be a fly-on-the-wall for this visit! Hugs all round, especially Wheely and Billy, Tracy, Lorraine, Julie.
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Lovely card and beautiful use of dies, love the colourway. Well my husbands appointment gave us the news that we had waited for, he does have a Prosate Cancer and another in his bladder. Due to have a CT scan today, that dept rang at 4pm to say that the scanner was BROKEN, so after given the all clear last year - we are starting all over again. That's life !!!!! Love and crafty hugs to all. Tina T xxxx
Beautiful,de!icte,lacy card. Tina T so sorry to hear that your husband has cancer again after being given the all clear last year. Hope he gets another scan appointment ASAP so things can move on quickly.
Good morning Sue I love how you've used the striplet die as a background and the waste as corners! I'm saving very hard to get the round and oval Noble dies! Today's card is beautiful, I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing. Hugs x Heather T
Hi Sue Wow ! how versatile are these striplet dies so making a beautiful card , will watch the Video later with my coffee.
Pam , no Phone call yet im afraid , Andrew was fishing yesterday, got a big catch but lost it as it broke the line , oh well he will try again today. A bit like my flower , lol i will try again today too .

Good Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes Love the detail in this card, will have to get the double pierced circle now, going to make a cuppa and watch the video now Have a good day all Sharon xxx
Hi Sue - an absolutely beautiful card. What a clever use of your striplet dies and I love the colours and the pearls too. Love everything about this card, sending many thanks and best wishes YvonneMayxx
Hello Sue I love the circles, but need to see how you have coloured them! I love all my Noble Dies and use them always, thank you for designing them Sue! Will watch the Video Now ! Love Marg
Hi Sue, fab card. Thank you for all your demos, you have given me an idea of how to use this but adapting it to a Chrustmas card instead. Best wishes Annette x
Morning Sue This is a really pretty girly card today, I love it. These noble dies are on my birthday list so keeping my fingers crossed.
Tina T. So sorry to hear your news, I very rarely comment on anything but Sue's card, but I have lived with my husband having Cancer for the past four years and know how hard it is. Will be thinking of you.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a lovely card today, good use of the off cuts, I always like that idea as I hate waste, love the pierced circles too, so pleased I bought these when they came out.
So Pam and Yvonne, you are planning your own Olympic race then are you, haha !!! I will be the referee.
Still waiting Elaine and Andrew, hope it is not too long now.
Tina T, Sorry to hear of the results, but hubby has beaten this once he can do it again, such a shame that the Scanner was broken, hope it gets fixed soon and they you can all plan what action is taken to fight this going forward, my prayers are with you.
Pam Hackett, I tried to find you on facebook but there are a number of you.
Tina and Mick, hope you are well.
Made 5 of Sue's shaker cards yesterday, my craft room and all the rest of our bungalow looks like a glittered grotto because I used iced snow on the outside of the card instead of micro beads which Sue did, the cards have turned out good and I have typed out the instructions for my craft club ladies to do tomorrow.
Got to take cakes in tomorrow as I have a birthday coming up on Saturday.
Phew it is hot, hot, hot already and only 8:30 in the morning.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Again Sue Just watched the Video and I must say using the Stripet Die like that is so clever...I had to take notes so that I remember! Thank you! Love Marg
Hi Sue What a gorgeous card and a fabulous use of the striplet die, really love the way it's put together. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Tina I'm sorry to hear your husbands cancer is back, I hope the scanner problem gets sorted soon so treatment can begin. Sending hugs xxx Elaine keep persevering with those flowers. What a shame the big fish got away from Andrew. Sending hugs xxx Tracey sending hugs to you too xxx Hugs for Tina and Mick xxx June hope you are ok xxx
Hi Sue, This card is exquisite and so elegant. Clever idea, using the striplet in this way and thank you for your videos, I'd never remember otherwise! Hugs, Rose
Good morning Sue. I love the way you used the die as corners. The centre background is so lovely. Will watch the video later and see how you created it.
Tina T. So very sorry to hear about your husband's cancer. Hope they can sort out his treatment plan quickly. x
Such a beautiful card and using waste bits for the corners is a brilliant idea.
I have a 'BitBox' that is almost empty now. I started to use my scraps to save buying yet more papers and thin card stock just to cut up with my dies. Saved a fortune this year already.
Pam & Yvonne, I am looking forward to the next Olympics to see you both in action.
Tina, dear heart, do not give up hope, I was saddened to read your news regarding the return of hubby's cancer. I'd like you to do something for me, wrap your arms around your shoulders and squeeze, now you have had a hug from me.
I have had 2 different types of cancer, kidney and breast, in the space of 3 years and have come through with the most fantastic help from our Beacon Centre in Taunton. I am awaiting the results of my last CT scan earlier this month so can understand the frustration of your local scanner being out of action. Could not the hospital refer your husband to another one with a CT scanner? That would set your mind at rest knowing that he could have the scan earlier than waiting for the repairs to be done?
Gentle healing hugs to all in need of one or two, and big squishy ones for everybody else.
Hi Sue Beautiful card and great video as always, I think I'm in love with your noble circles and long to make frames like yours! Tina T so sorry to hear your husbands cancer back and how frustrating for the CT scanner to be broken, hope he gets his scan soon. xx Hugs as always for everyone in need of one especially Tracy, Nanna Tina, Elaine and Wheelybad
Morning Sue, A gorgeous card, who would have know that it was a striplet in the background, so clever. I have just purchased the circle dies but not had a chance to play with them yet. Have a good day. Lydia X
Hello Sue and all love today's card, the circular frames and the shading are fabulous. Great video too, great use of the striplets and leftovers. hugs Muriel x
My goodness Sue how do you think these ideas up, this one is so fantastic using striplets to make backgrounds, and it would look fabulous glittered, the card is really beautiful in its simplicity and the video is so easy to follow, you amaze us all, I have all your Striplets because I love them and now you have given them all a new lease of life,thank you. To all our Ill and poorly wilsonettes, I am thinking of you all and I hope things improve for you or you can manage your pain as best as you can. Hugs to you all Johanna

Hi Sue. oh what a beautiful card, and a really great video.. Love the way you have used the Striplet die to make corners. I do love your blog but it just shows me how many dies I really want and trying to prioritise them is becoming even more difficult. Wendyx
Hi Sue, this card is 'truly fabulous' and I love it. Out of all the ingredients you have used sadly I only have the Sydney die but I am hoping that I can take inspiration from the design and maybe create something along similar lines (if I am lucky lol).
Tina - so sorry that your husband's cancer has returned. Take heart from Cheryl and Tracy and we will be here for you to unload should you want to.
Lovely card Sue, so clean & fresh looking. Such a lovely idea, not only to use striplets for backgrounds, but also to make the corners! Where do these ideas come from because my brain just doesn't work like this!Lol!
This lusciously lacy card is scrumptious!! LOVE the idea of using striplets for corners too!! One more way to stretch my die usage to infinity and beyond! TFS!
Hi Sue. WOW This is a fantastic card. I have to say that all your noble dies are a must have for any crafter as they are so versatile and as you know i love making framed cards. The colours are gorgeous and another great way to us your striplet dies. Another great video. Thanks Best Wishes. Denise T x
Hello Sue Such a lovely card which you could adapt for so many occasions. I don't have any of the noble frames and as it's my birthday in a couple of weeks I am trying to find both A and B in the squares but can only find set B in stock. Tina I hope your husband can get his treatment plan sorted soon we are all here to listen if you need us.
I always love to use scraps and leftovers, I think that they help my mojo :) Your corners lok fabulous, they are a perfect compliment for the others gorgous diecuts!
Thank you Sue for sharing this beautiful card with us today and for the tutorial. I have circle dies, striplets (not that one) and have just got the Gillian die so will give this a try.
Love how you show us how versatile your dies can be, including the "left-over" bits and pieces. Thanks for the helpful video. I enjoy watching your demonstrations and learn so much.
Really pretty card as always. I love using my circles for frames. And have started using the squares too in the same way. Really does make a card look like a masterpiece lol.
Pam. U won't find me on face book as I don't have it. This is the only place Ud get me lol.
Tina t. I'm so sorry to hear ur news. But if he's done it once he can get thru again. I know it's difficult but I'm thinking of u both as u embark on another journey xx
P in Wales. That's the pixie powders been ordered. I'll let u know how I get on lol I'm embracing my fear of crafty mess!! Sue u should be proud of me lol
Sue this is so pretty, i really love the background from the striplet die and if i hadn't watched the video i would never have believed that it was created from the striplet. I really like how you have used the leftovers to create those beautiful corners too. Definately added to my favourites list and the dies added to my wish list.
Hello Sue, What a beautiful card today and such good use of your dies. The video is fab. Tina, sending love and prayers. Littlelamb, thank you for your "welcome back". Love to all who are in pain or worrying. Maureen xxx
Good evening Sue and all your crafty crew Another winner of a card Sue very pretty I am In aww of your talent always professional and very generous sharing your talent and encouraging others with their crafty attempts Hugs to all that may need one Have a good evening everyone Theresa G xx
Hi Sue Lovely card. What a nice way to use up the leftovers! Thanks for sharing. Tina T......am sending positive healing thoughts your way to you and your hubby. Hugs
Fabulous video day as always, having the luxury of your personal tutelage is wonderful:-) A brilliant design, love the noble circles, they frame a centrepiece beautifully....really liked the inking effect, it added a further dimension to the frame and tied in lovely with the sentiment and flowers. Ingenious using the off cut corners to frame each corner of the card, a really nice touch in adding the pearl strip. How nice to see some slightly older dies, I'm guilty of moving on with each release neglecting to use previously favourite dies, so I really should utilise all of my collection more often. I'm looking forward to the coming few weeks, hoping that your appearance at Ally Pally will coincide with some more tv slots on Hochanda and the launch of a new collection.....am I being presumptuous? A girl can but dream:-) Well ladies, drum roll.......I managed to create a birthday card today!!??!?Yes, I know, stranger things have happened but this was a minor achievement for me because I have really lost my zest for crafting since my Dad passed and was struggling to motivate myself to create anything. I quickly got into the groove again but wasn't too impressed with my finished effort....my Mum loved it but we can be our harshest critics at times and I just felt that I could have done better....maybe a bit more practice would help! Yvonne was mightly impressed but did remind me...again.....that she managed to complete two in the same time period....talk about raining on my parade, I told you how obnoxious she can be:-) only three more weeks to go now Maria:-) I really hope that we can meet up for a chat, what day are you planning on going? Louise and I are going on Sunday because that's the day that Sue does her Hochanda shows and My other half is threatening to heckle her if we don't get front row seats....oh the shame! See what I mean, she's a menace and shouldn't be allowed in polite company:-) It would be lovely to meet up with other Wilsonettes too if you are going to be around at the Sunday show, I do hope so because it would be nice to put a name to face or vice versa and I promise that I don't bite so no tetanus jab will be required afterwards:-) Tina T, I was so sad to learn of your hubby's diagnosis, how awful for you both. However, as this fab blog can attest to with it's many survivors, cancer need not be feared in the way it once was, it is treatable and the prospects can be bright. Here's hoping that they have the foresight to send him to another hospital for his scan because the sooner you both begin this journey the better for you both. Wishing you luck and sending you both hugsxxxx Tracy, buying pixie powders, how exciting! I've been putting it off until I get to road test them for mess and reliability when I stay with Yvonne....she swears by them but I am yet to be converted, I want to make sure that I'm not going to get more on Brodie than on the card:-) Tell us how you get on with them. June, your craft classes sound great, do you run them from a local craft shop or did you set them up yourself? I wish that I lived closer, I'd love to attend them. Lorraine, hope you are feeling better, take carexxx Wheely Bad, similarly, I do hope that you are managing with your help better than before. Have you had any news about your appeal to attend your hospital of choice? Sending hugs to you and Billyxxx Yvonne, hope you've managed to cool down in time for your guests arriving, a sweaty red faced host is just so un appealing don't you think? I bet plenty of talc is being utilised as we speak, wouldn't want any chaffing now would we:-) Enjoy your roast dinner my lovelyxxxx Sending cuddles to P, Pam, Pat, Alison, Theresa, Maria, Rebecca, Beth, Linda, nana Tina, Elaine, Frances, Norah, jan and anyone else my one brain cell may have forgottenxxx
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x I love your card today sue x its so pretty x fantastic idea for the corners too , they finish the card perfectly x thankyou sue for your inspiration once again x Tina t sorry the news wasn't better x sending prayers and healing hugs x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
Good eavening Sue late today but your card is fabulouse so is the video Shhh I bought your pieced circle dies looking forward to them arriving. Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xx
TRACY glad your going to try pixie powder they don't have to be messy I will try & Face time you tomorrow I will show you my backgrounds I did. Big Hug's xx
ELAINE hope your leg is better & Andrew is ok.xx
TIna T sorry your husbands cancer has come back. We are all here for you sending you both Hug's xx
Evening Sue Exquisite card for us today. Ingenious use of the striplets which makes an absolutely stunning back drop for the beautiful Gilliam die. The whole 'ensemble' is so gorgeous x Before I watch your videos I try to work out exactly which dies you have used. Love it when I get it right. And today was one of those days. Those poppies are so unbelievably versatile and I love that. Thanks Sue x Well the temperature here has been what many of you would love and revel in soaking up the rays but I'm afraid I am struggling to cope. Even industrial amounts of talcum powder strategically placed in creases failed to stop the sweat from making me so uncomfortable. So yes Laine you were right, the talc was utilized but to no avail x Pam - I'm intrigued, what is it you do that means you leave so early? I don't think I will be first. I struggle to get on here before 8pm so it will be a miracle if ever did get in before you x P - we aren't that interesting. Well I am but Laine - so boring. Lol x Tina - I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. As you say, that's life but sometimes it stinks! Sending you and hubby virtual hugs. We're all here for you x June - don't they say it's not the winning it's the taking part. I thought I had done well making 2 cards on Sunday but get you girl - 5. Well done. Hugs x Cheryl - I think you may have quite a wait so I hope you can be patient. It will be a miracle if I take Pam's medal. Hugs x Tracy - proud of you - pixie powders - yipee. Hugs x Laine - have to say I am really impressed that you were up to the challenge. I am trying to think of another to give you when we speak next time so be warned. My roast dinner was worth all the sweat and tears and thoroughly appreciated by my mum in law and sister in law and surprisingly Jake expressed gratitude more than usual which always makes me a little suspicious!! Hope the sun comes too visit you tomorrow and you get your fix hun. Speak (again) soon x Bed time now. No cards made today but I am aiming to have a crack at at least 1 tomorrow. I think I will use the backgrounds I made using the fantwinkly pixie powders. After all I do have quite a few x Sending everybody lots of love specially Wheely, Lorraine, Maria, Tina and Mick, Francis, Elaine and Andrew and any of my banter buddies x Take care Happy thoughts Crafty hugs Yvonne x
Hi Sue Beautiful card I think the corners a gorgeous Tina T so sorry to hear about your husband I'll remember you both in my prayers, sending caring thoughts

Tina T, hope hubby so appointment went well.
Elaine, has Andrew heard yet, hope the leg is still improving and the crochet will be fine, don't give up.
Tracey, no I'm not pamscrafts, I'm just plain Pam Hackett, but the hair does sound swish. I used to have red hair and it turned like a white blonde colour, totally bypassed the grey/ salt and pepper stage. I'll try to find you on Facebook.
Tina and Mick, hope you are well.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card and using waste bits for the corners is a brilliant idea.
I have a 'BitBox' that is almost empty now. I started to use my scraps to save buying yet more papers and thin card stock just to cut up with my dies. Saved a fortune this year already.
Pam & Yvonne, I am looking forward to the next Olympics to see you both in action.
Tina, dear heart, do not give up hope, I was saddened to read your news regarding the return of hubby's cancer. I'd like you to do something for me, wrap your arms around your shoulders and squeeze, now you have had a hug from me.
I have had 2 different types of cancer, kidney and breast, in the space of 3 years and have come through with the most fantastic help from our Beacon Centre in Taunton.
I am awaiting the results of my last CT scan earlier this month so can understand the frustration of your local scanner being out of action.
Could not the hospital refer your husband to another one with a CT scanner? That would set your mind at rest knowing that he could have the scan earlier than waiting for the repairs to be done?
Gentle healing hugs to all in need of one or two, and big squishy ones for everybody else.
Love & hugs

Hi Sue. oh what a beautiful card, and a really great video.. Love the way you have used the Striplet die to make corners. I do love your blog but it just shows me how many dies I really want and trying to prioritise them is becoming even more difficult.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI really love how you've created this card. The Colour Cloud is a great shade to use and will add that to my list!
June x
Hi Sue, this card is 'truly fabulous' and I love it. Out of all the ingredients you have used sadly I only have the Sydney die but I am hoping that I can take inspiration from the design and maybe create something along similar lines (if I am lucky lol).
ReplyDeleteTina - so sorry that your husband's cancer has returned. Take heart from Cheryl and Tracy and we will be here for you to unload should you want to.
Frances
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue, so clean & fresh looking. Such a lovely idea, not only to use striplets for backgrounds, but also to make the corners! Where do these ideas come from because my brain just doesn't work like this!Lol!
Stunning card Sue x xhazel
ReplyDeleteThis lusciously lacy card is scrumptious!! LOVE the idea of using striplets for corners too!! One more way to stretch my die usage to infinity and beyond! TFS!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. WOW This is a fantastic card. I have to say that all your noble dies are a must have for any crafter as they are so versatile and as you know i love making framed cards. The colours are gorgeous and another great way to us your striplet dies. Another great video. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.
Denise T x
BEautiful!
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card which you could adapt for so many occasions. I don't have any of the noble frames and as it's my birthday in a couple of weeks I am trying to find both A and B in the squares but can only find set B in stock. Tina I hope your husband can get his treatment plan sorted soon we are all here to listen if you need us.
I always love to use scraps and leftovers, I think that they help my mojo :)
ReplyDeleteYour corners lok fabulous, they are a perfect compliment for the others gorgous diecuts!
Thank you Sue for sharing this beautiful card with us today and for the tutorial. I have circle dies, striplets (not that one) and have just got the Gillian die so will give this a try.
ReplyDeleteLove how you show us how versatile your dies can be, including the "left-over" bits and pieces. Thanks for the helpful video. I enjoy watching your demonstrations and learn so much.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully delicate
ReplyDeletePam x
Hi sue and crafty friends.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty card as always. I love using my circles for frames. And have started using the squares too in the same way. Really does make a card look like a masterpiece lol.
Pam. U won't find me on face book as I don't have it. This is the only place Ud get me lol.
Tina t. I'm so sorry to hear ur news. But if he's done it once he can get thru again. I know it's difficult but I'm thinking of u both as u embark on another journey xx
P in Wales. That's the pixie powders been ordered. I'll let u know how I get on lol
I'm embracing my fear of crafty mess!! Sue u should be proud of me lol
Love to all wilsonettes as always xx

This card is amazing in that every last bit of any die cut is used!!!! I really like to see this because I Hate Waste!
ReplyDeleteLove these pretty corners! A nice finish!
ReplyDeleteSue this is so pretty, i really love the background from the striplet
ReplyDeletedie and if i hadn't watched the video i would never have believed that
it was created from the striplet.
I really like how you have used the leftovers to create those beautiful corners too.
Definately added to my favourites list and the dies added to my wish list.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card today and such good use of your dies. The video is fab.
Tina, sending love and prayers.
Littlelamb, thank you for your "welcome back".
Love to all who are in pain or worrying.

Hi Sue, another lovely card and clever use of the dies.
ReplyDeleteBarbaraV
This is a gorgeous lacey card Sue.xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Might try something similar with the noble pierced squares.
ReplyDeleteGood evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteFabulous video day as always, having the luxury of your personal tutelage is wonderful:-) A brilliant design, love the noble circles, they frame a centrepiece beautifully....really liked the inking effect, it added a further dimension to the frame and tied in lovely with the sentiment and flowers. Ingenious using the off cut corners to frame each corner of the card, a really nice touch in adding the pearl strip. How nice to see some slightly older dies, I'm guilty of moving on with each release neglecting to use previously favourite dies, so I really should utilise all of my collection more often.
I'm looking forward to the coming few weeks, hoping that your appearance at Ally Pally will coincide with some more tv slots on Hochanda and the launch of a new collection.....am I being presumptuous? A girl can but dream:-)
Well ladies, drum roll.......I managed to create a birthday card today!!??!?Yes, I know, stranger things have happened but this was a minor achievement for me because I have really lost my zest for crafting since my Dad passed and was struggling to motivate myself to create anything. I quickly got into the groove again but wasn't too impressed with my finished effort....my Mum loved it but we can be our harshest critics at times and I just felt that I could have done better....maybe a bit more practice would help!
Yvonne was mightly impressed but did remind me...again.....that she managed to complete two in the same time period....talk about raining on my parade, I told you how obnoxious she can be:-)
only three more weeks to go now Maria:-) I really hope that we can meet up for a chat, what day are you planning on going? Louise and I are going on Sunday because that's the day that Sue does her Hochanda shows and My other half is threatening to heckle her if we don't get front row seats....oh the shame! See what I mean, she's a menace and shouldn't be allowed in polite company:-)
It would be lovely to meet up with other Wilsonettes too if you are going to be around at the Sunday show, I do hope so because it would be nice to put a name to face or vice versa and I promise that I don't bite so no tetanus jab will be required afterwards:-)
Tina T, I was so sad to learn of your hubby's diagnosis, how awful for you both. However, as this fab blog can attest to with it's many survivors, cancer need not be feared in the way it once was, it is treatable and the prospects can be bright. Here's hoping that they have the foresight to send him to another hospital for his scan because the sooner you both begin this journey the better for you both. Wishing you luck and sending you both hugsxxxx
Tracy, buying pixie powders, how exciting! I've been putting it off until I get to road test them for mess and reliability when I stay with Yvonne....she swears by them but I am yet to be converted, I want to make sure that I'm not going to get more on Brodie than on the card:-) Tell us how you get on with them.
June, your craft classes sound great, do you run them from a local craft shop or did you set them up yourself? I wish that I lived closer, I'd love to attend them.
Lorraine, hope you are feeling better, take carexxx
Wheely Bad, similarly, I do hope that you are managing with your help better than before. Have you had any news about your appeal to attend your hospital of choice? Sending hugs to you and Billyxxx
Yvonne, hope you've managed to cool down in time for your guests arriving, a sweaty red faced host is just so un appealing don't you think? I bet plenty of talc is being utilised as we speak, wouldn't want any chaffing now would we:-) Enjoy your roast dinner my lovelyxxxx
Sending cuddles to P, Pam, Pat, Alison, Theresa, Maria, Rebecca, Beth, Linda, nana Tina, Elaine, Frances, Norah, jan and anyone else my one brain cell may have forgottenxxx

Evening Sue
ReplyDeleteExquisite card for us today. Ingenious use of the striplets which makes an absolutely stunning back drop for the beautiful Gilliam die. The whole 'ensemble' is so gorgeous x
Before I watch your videos I try to work out exactly which dies you have used. Love it when I get it right. And today was one of those days. Those poppies are so unbelievably versatile and I love that. Thanks Sue x
Well the temperature here has been what many of you would love and revel in soaking up the rays but I'm afraid I am struggling to cope. Even industrial amounts of talcum powder strategically placed in creases failed to stop the sweat from making me so uncomfortable. So yes Laine you were right, the talc was utilized but to no avail x
Pam - I'm intrigued, what is it you do that means you leave so early? I don't think I will be first. I struggle to get on here before 8pm so it will be a miracle if ever did get in before you x
P - we aren't that interesting. Well I am but Laine - so boring. Lol x
Tina - I'm so sorry to hear about your husband. As you say, that's life but sometimes it stinks! Sending you and hubby virtual hugs. We're all here for you x
June - don't they say it's not the winning it's the taking part. I thought I had done well making 2 cards on Sunday but get you girl - 5. Well done. Hugs x
Cheryl - I think you may have quite a wait so I hope you can be patient. It will be a miracle if I take Pam's medal. Hugs x
Tracy - proud of you - pixie powders - yipee. Hugs x
Laine - have to say I am really impressed that you were up to the challenge. I am trying to think of another to give you when we speak next time so be warned. My roast dinner was worth all the sweat and tears and thoroughly appreciated by my mum in law and sister in law and surprisingly Jake expressed gratitude more than usual which always makes me a little suspicious!! Hope the sun comes too visit you tomorrow and you get your fix hun. Speak (again) soon x
Bed time now. No cards made today but I am aiming to have a crack at at least 1 tomorrow. I think I will use the backgrounds I made using the fantwinkly pixie powders. After all I do have quite a few x
Sending everybody lots of love specially Wheely, Lorraine, Maria, Tina and Mick, Francis, Elaine and Andrew and any of my banter buddies x
Take care
Happy thoughts
