Hi bloggers! The Christmas cards may seem to be showing up more often now but it isn't really that long until the big day so we must get going on these! Today's video is a really easy channel card that you could even do in batches!
Don't forget to come by and say Hi if you are at Ally Pally today or tomorrow! We are going to be doing a group photo at my stand (in front of the stained Glass window in the front of the room) at the beginning of the show at 10am. I would love to see you there!

Gorgeous card, love it. It's stunning.
Tina, so glad they brought Peters appointment forward well done them.
Elaine, hope Andrew is enjoying his fishing, he has patience in abundance.
Tina, hope that Mick is starting to improve on his altered medication, how frustrating for you both, it seems like two steps forward, three backward at the moment.
June and all the other Wilsonettes going to Ally Pally, have a wonderful time, wouldn't Sue have a laugh if you all turned up in tiaras like Yvonne has threatened to. Now that would be something to see. Glad the girls are enjoying their get together.
Tracey, hope you are well. Wheeley, missing you too.
Big hugs for Emily and her sister, and for all on the blog.
Hello Sue and all
I hope you are having fun at Ally Pally - those that can go. Today's card is gorgeous, love the silver and white and always love channel cards. So effective. Will watch the video later.
hugs

Morning Sue and crafters all.
Beautiful card today! So clean and elegant The star swirls and the Peace die add that perfect touch.
Update on Peter his appointment is Tuesday 20th September,he is not to bad but finding something to drink is getting difficult as he does not like the flavoured cordials. Milk he drinks ok as is a cup of cocoa made with evaporated milk.
For all you lucky people going to ALLY PALLY enjoy!!!!!
Love and crafty hugs

Good morning Sue. A fabulous card and video, I always have a soft spot for your channel cards and this is no exception. It was a bit of a shock to see your studio decorated though!
I hope everyone going to Ally Pally has a wonderful time, I would love to see you all in your tiaras, but I'll watch out for you on the live TV programmes. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Hi Sue, Lovely C card, love those stars.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Love this card. I've still only made one Christmas card so far and have arrived home from holiday to find loads of things have happened this week. No Christmas cards for me, just Birth, death and special birthdays.
Enjoy Ally Pally everyone who's going.

Good morning Sue, gorgeous Christmas card. Hope everyone who is going to Ally Pally has a fabulous time. Will be watching Sue, John and Phill on TV. Marion S x
Morning Sue. After reading CraftySuetoo's comment above I presume you have a whole bunch of festive decorations around your crafting studio, this I'm looking forward to along with your inspiration of course. Today's sample is so pretty, it's quite plain but in a pretty 'gentle' way if you get my drift, yes, will go l and enjoy your tutorial while 'my keeper' and the other lady in his life are at the country park !
I'm certain there is a little anxiety as you wait for the show to open but that will soon be over taken by excitement I've no doubts. I'm quite introvert and keep myself to myself mostly,it's a confidence, low esteem kind of thing - or you could say quite a boring kind of person lol so it sounds like all the 'fun' that has been mentioned over the past few days would be my idea of hell, if I can merge into the background and not bring attention to myself then that suits me down to the ground lol I'd be the last person to be able to introduce myself I'd feel mortified lol so maybe AP is out for me, but so looking forward to watching you and the team on tv throughout the weekend - Phill has me in stitches, I'm hoping and praying the microphone works for him today, bless him, he just laughed through it last year, he has the most contagious laugh ever 😀 I hope the girls behave and don't distract you too much tomorrow as an hour isn't long when you're trying to concentrate with a live audience plus having to hold while product numbers are being read out to us PLUS questions being asked, phew I'm making myself nervous, what must I be doing to your nerves ! Sorry Sue.
You will be a great success and people adore you really adore you and your dies, so take extra stock with you as you will have a real happy productive fun weekend.
Take my hugs with you as I can't give them personally xxx
Lovely channel card, Sue, particularly like the pretty frame around the sentiment. Great video, as always, thank you.
Wheely - missing you, hugs for you and Billy.
Enjoy AP everyone, sounds like lots of happy anticipation!

Gorgeous card! Loved the swirly stars so much I've just bought it :). Debra x
Dear sue thank you for such a delightful card. Yes Christmas isn't far away I have made a start on some really simple shaker cards.
Have a great day at ally pally. It's a bit too far for me to travel just for the day. Perhaps one year I'll make a weekend of it. Wish you could be at the nec though.
Hope to catch your live shows over the weekend though as I've done all my housework so weekend is mine to do with what I want.
Wishing everyone a great day. Enjoy

Hope AP goes well and you enjoy seeing all your fans.
Yvonne and Laine behave yourselves and everyone else have a great time.
June Smith and Myra, I checked the George Medal and blow me down, one for his 50th and one for his 60th!!! I have to say that my daughter's MIL must have got sick of doing them because the 70th is missing ha ha. Myra, I'll show them to you next month!!!!
Love and prayers to all who are ill, in pain and their carers.

So true Sue. Before we know it Christmas will be here. A really nice card. I like the star garland.
I'm in the process of making 4 of this style of card so of course I love it!!! Have decided to mini-batch make (4-6 cards for each theme) my Christmas cards this year so I'm not constantly scratching my head for more ideas. So far, it's working!!! Thanks for your inspiration Sue xx
Beautiful card, as you say great for batch making.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
Well Sue what a gorgeous christmas card in the silver and white, the detail from the starry swirls embossing folder is stunning and how much deeper you get the detail from it with your new die machine, an awful lot better than the grand caliburs. I love that wee star spangled banner and the fact that it is so loose in moving i wonder if you can place it say around the tree for instance. I love all the dies you have used in making todays beauty Sue but as useful i unfortunately don't have any of them as yet so it will be a rake into my christmas die folder to see what i can use. Have a wonderful day flower and enjoy which i know you do anyway, but it is the kind of show that must be buzzing in atmosphere and with all the mad Wilsonettes coming to see you, you shouldn't run short of giggles.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue, a beautiful Christmas card. Thanks for your video and your wonderful inspirational cards. I can't start Christmas cards until November so ideas for batch making are what I need.
This card is just fabulous! Really quick but so effective!
Good morning Sue what a lovely card the swirly stars look so effective on your card. Hope you are having a good time at AP just sorry I couldn't get there. Love from Jackie xx
A really beautiful card Sue and just perfect for Xmas.
Love the blue card and the star die.
Enjoy Ally Pally saw you last time, but won't be going this time.

Hello Sue
Just back from holidays I spent all evening looking through Sue's latest card collection just amazing so haven't managed yet to catch up on everyone's news. Enjoy ally pally those who are going you are lucky.
Hello Sue,
Well, you will be almost right I n the middle of a very busy day! I hope the photo session went well!
To everyone who goes I hope you have a great time even though you may have sore feet afterwards ! Crafters are such friendly people and you end up talking to people you don't know . I've never been to Ally Pally but my DIL took me to Birmingham to the Hobbycraft Show last November and it was lovely! My DIL enjoyed it too and she isn't even a crafter!
Maureen - looking forward to seeing those medals but to catching up with you even more! Don't faint - I know I've been nice! Ha ha!
Sue - I hope today and tomorrow are a huge success!! I'm sure they will be.
I haven't seen today's video yet but have admired the decorations previously!
Today's card is beautiful and I think the swirling stars is a very versatile die . Thanks Sue! Never apologise for showing any of your cards as I learn something from each one.
Love to all, Myra xxx
Love it. I was waiting to see how this swirly star looked. Not disappointed.Hope the day is going well.
Good afternoon lovely sue and her crafty crew!
Christmas tutorials are by far my favourite so I was more than a little pleased to see one today. The set was absolutely gorgeous, the wreath, tree and flowers were so atmospheric and really made me feel festive, quite a task in the middle of September:-) The card was fabulous, simple, straightforward procedure but stunningly effective. I love the star swirl and will be investing in it soon. I haven't started buying my dies from the new festive collection because I've been trying to save for Ally Pally, but I have a feeling that most of my money will be spent on them at some point anyway:-)
Well, four days into my stay and I'm still able to communicate with you all...it was touch and go a few times when Yvonne thought it appropriate to exercise her "authority", but I managed to escape the Tower or cupboard under the stairs when I promised to let her have centre stage tomorrow....as if:-)
But fear not my dear Wilsonettes, I for one have no intention of ruining Sues moment to shine on Hochanda but the same can't be said for Yvonne who lacks the class and manners required for a public occasion....she has warned me that she may heckle and create a scene, pure attention seeking behaviour that only reinforces my assertion that she doesn't have the attributes necessary for a royal representative , unlike moi who has the class, poise and manners associated with the upper classes:-)
Going to AP tomorrow makes the endurance test of the past four days almost worthwhile. I am so excited to finally meet superstar Sue, my only fear is that she has believed the blatant character assassination attempted by Yvonne who is clearly trying to jockey for the position of Sues no.1 fan....she is, as we speak, making fudge, meringues and white chocolate brownies to seduce Sue with but her attempts to change Sues mind during a sugar induced coma are futile:-)
I'm having a quiet day because I've been told to get up at 6am which is a rather cruel form of torture that I should have been expecting, I don't believe I will be beating Pam on the blog though, she is definitely a star where that's concerned, besides I will be in a sleep deprived haze until at least midday I suspect:-(
Hope all our lovely ladies are enjoying their day at AP, I look forward to hopefully seeing the group photo at some point. Take care of our Sue, don't work her too hard because she'll need plenty of energy for tomorrow:-)
June, did they have the red carpet and Royal box organised....remember I'll also need room for my topless chauffeur:-) Hope you had a great day!
Healing hugs to tina&mick, tina&peter, elaine&andrew, Tracy and anyone else suffering or waiting for treatmentxxx
Maria, hope that you enjoy your day, hopefully we can meet up next time...leave something for me to buy!xxx
To anyone who spots a slovenly middle aged woman in a tiara, her glamorous companion and a buff young man then please come over and introduce yourself, we won't bite...well, I won't at least:-)
Have a cool weekend whatever you may be doingxxx
Crafty hugs

Hi Sue, it was good to see you again today at Ally Pally. I thought I would like the cuts from the swirly stars die as soon as I saw it but was unsure of its use. This card demonstrates how it can be used perfectly. Thank you

Great card - hope you are having a great time at Ally Pally and have a chance to put your feet up for a while this evening! x
A great card Sue. Have a blast at Ally Pally, I wish I could be there. Any chance of you doing a show further north?
Hi Sue
Beautiful card I wasn't sure I'd use this die but when you see what you can do with it I have moved it up my list, Mick told me to treat myself so I bought a small die cutting machine from aldi so just need to have a play now
Mick has had a reasonable day now his confusion and hallucinating has gone he's alot better but some pain has come back but we're managing this
Hope all who have gone to ally pally have had a great time and those going tomorrow enjoy
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue you do such beautiful cards, I have lots of your dies.
