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.
So gorgeous, love the card. Frosted elegance. Elaine, how dreadful that Andrew had such a nasty accident in .hospital. I hope he is feeling better and was able to go home, he will feel more comfortable in his own bed. Sharon, hope the removal of the clips in your leg go well. June, so sorry you had such a poor night, maybe you are trying to do too much, ease up a little, we don't want you back in hospital. Tina and Peter, he can cook too, I like custard with my treacle tart. Tracey, you may feel anxious about going back to work, I'm sure it will do you good as long as you get back in gently. Talk to your manager, they should help. Lynda, my fingers crossed that all your tests go well. Take care. Betty, you are well on the way to recovery now, the new plaster should be more comfortable fir you. Huge hugs to Tina and Mick, Laine and her mum, Lorraine, PP, Wheeley and Billy and all who need one, Myra, you are welcome.
Good Morning Sue and all. Breath taking card to wake up to this morning. I will be looking forward to watching the video later. Well wishes to who needs them and hugs. Elaine hope Andrew is feeling better soon and able to come home. Pam your always so kind with your words. Wendy
Beautiful card, just watched the video and really enjoyed it. I love the richness of the red against the white, not to mention the gorgeous glittering technique.
I agree pussycarts, Pam always has kind words for everyone. She's lovely.
Wow Sue. Good morning. See through card ? Intrigued, but not for much longer as my 2 have just gone for the first walk if the day which leaves it nice and peaceful to try and take in your inspiration. I have non of these festive dies, so need to watch to see if I can use another festive background from last year's collection. Talking of collections Sue - MORE new dies ? There is NO chance EVER now that I will catch up, I still don't have a complete set going back to the very first dies you launched, and they are coming so fast now I can't keep up, they look stunning as usual, very girly lol and the Finishing Touches as always will be my first order but after I've stuck to my plan of collecting the circle and oval Noble dies, whenever that will be goodness knows and it's getting me down a little as they are such an important basic in my opinion, but I'm really excited for you and your new collections, will there be any co-ordinated embossing folders at all, especially for the shadow boxes ? Would be fun to have the 'girly items' embossed in the background, what do you think ? Anyway before I know it, my 2 will be back and I won't have watched any of today's tutorial, so I'll send you the usual daily hug, and wish you a productive day as you beaver away with new samples with your beautiful new dies ☺ xxx
Good morning Sue and crafters all, WOW what a beautiful card today, love the holly background with the frosting on. Make you think of fresh fallen snow. Yet another collection soon to be available to us crafters, can't wait but doubt if I will be buying before Christmas - pensions don't stretch that far lol!!!!! Pam thanks for your kind words as usual. I make the pastry and Peter puts in his filling, keeps him occupied. His nurse is due today!!!! June Smith - please take it easy you don't need set backs now you have got this far, Love and crafty hugs to all, Tina T xxxx
Lovely card, Sue, like the see through frosted technique - new things always so clear in your videos so thank you. Elaine - oh dear oh dear (my late Mum's expression - turning into her!) what a day for Andrew, hope he soon feels better and can go ahead with the next treatment. Tracy - enjoy your last week of free days and crafting. Wendy Pussycats - not long to go now, enjoy your day off. Yes, I agree, so good to have Pam up top with lovely words and to keep us up to speed. Laine & Mum, PP, Wheely and Billy - good wishes... and hugs to all who need them
Good morning Sue. Scrumptious card, love the sparkle. Elaine, what a dreadful thing to happen to Andrew in hospital, hope he gets home soon. Tina, I think we're all coming to yours for tea! Tracy, enjoy your crafting and try not to worry too much about next week. Pam, where would we be without you, you always have a kind comment and thought for everyone. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Good morning Sue. A beautiful and striking card which really appeals to me with all the gorgeous sparkle - stunning! Thank you for the great tutorial and inspiration.x
Good morning, Sue A beautiful sparkly Christmas card for today. I have just watched your great video and can really see how stunning this card is! Lesley S x
Hi Sue, Oh my goodness- video watching time scheduled in later in writing - this is a 'must watch' for me. Stunning card, thank you so much for sharing. Beverley W
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, now this card looks really interesting, I have a lot of video's to catch up on and I think this is going to be top of my list.
Nurse came round yesterday and told me off (nicely) because I didn't ring them about the leaking onto my dressing, she changed it and even before she left it had started to come through a little bit, well this morning it is certainly through again. I had to contact my Drs. to ask if I could take 2 of the morphine capsules at 8pm and 1 at 8am, he said yes and I was able to sleep for longer periods last night which was a great help because I was really shattered yesterday. Colin has got to go to surgery this morning to collect another prescription and sign for it because it is a controlled substance. The CEPS nursing manager is coming to see me today because of the leaking, not sure what time yet, I think there could be the start of an infection in it (I hope I am not but it looks like it to me), anyway I will let you know how I get on. I can bend my knee 80 which nurse said was very good, so I am on the right track. I can get out of bed and into the shower on my own but not back into bed or out of shower yet but I am getting there. You can see those crossed fingers can't you !!!
Elaine how is Andrew's head today, hope he feels a little better, I thought going into hospital was supposed to make you better not incur injuries, hugs.
Thanks Tina T for your good wishes, getting there slowly, so nice to hear that Peter can cook and is helping you, good therapy that is. I taught my Colin how to make one of my favourite meals 'macaroni cheese' yesterday and it was surprisingly good, so I am going to accept a tick for being a good teacher haha.
Sharon, not up to date yet on every thing that has happened over the past couple of weeks but hope the removal of the clips in your leg go well.
Tracey, it is only natural that you feel anxious about going back to work, and it is good advice from Pam to talk to your manager - I was in a similar position in 2000 and my Manager was brilliant as was everyone else, it certainly helped with getting back into a normal life again.
Lynda, my fingers crossed that all your tests go well. Take care.
Betty, you are well on the way to recovery now, the new plaster should be more comfortable for you.
Huge hugs to Tina and Mick, Myra, Laine and her mum, Lorraine, PP, Wheeley and Billy and all who need one.
Sorry if I have missed anyone. Pam a special hug for you, always there to guide us at the beginning of every blog.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue Loving your card ,so frosty and beautiful .
June i do hope you had a better night ?,
Anon ,i know exactly what you mean , { i am turning into my Mum too, bless her }
Crewe Trish, i intend to start my Christmas cards this Weekend ,they are usually half completed by now but hey ho, life interferes sometimes .
Betty , We really do not realise how much for granted we take our limbs until something happens ,and then we struggle ,Take care. x
Andrew got home at 7.00pm ,he is now in high spirits again ,saying " he is ready for Halloween with his real McCoy scar {from the top of his forehead right down to his nose } all he needs is the bolt in his neck. Joking apart, he feels so much better , still has a few tummy gripes now and again ,but the Doctors feel certain they have sorted the problem. Thank you all for your concern and good wishes, it really means a lot to us .
Beautiful card! Love the double sided frosting, will have to give that a try! The red card is a lovely colour, some reds have an orangey tinge to them. In fact there is nothing I don't like, so thank you Sue. It's great to have the video to see exactly how you achieve that frosting.
Wow! this beauty is right up my street - if in doubt, throw some glitter onto it but even I wouldn't have thought of adding glitter to both sides of the sticky sheet so will be trying this asap..lol...and using red as a contrast colour is perfect, really sets off the focal point against all that bling.
Good morning Sue What a great technique this is, may have to give this one a go, the holly frame is a lovely die to begin with and the see through element gives it a wow factor. The weather is dictating another craft day so a card to be made then some stitching. Yippee! Regards Heather R Oxfordshire
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes Thanks for your nice messages my clips came out yesterday of my leg but have a small opening in wound so have to rest and go careful for a little while hopefully that will work, its so frustrating as I cant sit and craft at the moment as my ebosser has broke and also having to keep my leg elevated and seeing all these gorgeous cards and watching all the videos makes me want to get on and make some. Hope you all have a lovely day whatever our doing Take care Sharon xxx
Hi Sue What a beautiful card today, love the see through frosted look with the red pop. Just right for Christmas. What a pretty top you had on today too. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Elaine good to hear Andrew is back on form and ready for Halloween! Xxx June look after yourself, I hope the morphine helps you rest and they can get on top of the infection quickly (will it be honey again?). Xxx Tracey it's only natural to be worried, your lovely customers will be delighted to see you back, they will all be giving you cuddles which will be nice for you. Sending hugs xxx Sending hugs to Tina and mick and Tina and Peter xxx
Hi Sue, LOVE that card. Fab background and colours........ Video is also well worth watchin, to see how we can achieve such a beautiful card. Hugs, Rose
Morning Sue. What a lovely frost card, you can never have too much sparkle at Christmas time and I have to admit that I do like red and white as a colour combination for Christmas.
Hi Sue Gorgeous card and great video as always, very festive
My granddaughter Sarah off to GOSH this morning, seeing a neurophysiologist tomorrow morning, sleep study tomorrow night and was supposed to see the orthopaedic surgeon on Thursday morning but now turns out he won't be there so they will be home again on Thursday evening, so frustrating Tracy enjoy the rest of your last week at home.

Hello Sue, I've watched the video as I was intrigued about the " see-through background" !!! You are a very clever lady! I love that - it looks really effective! I love too how you mix and match your various Die sets! Thank you once again! I love this card with its pop of red! It's a lovely day here again today but it's raining leaves! Aargh! Pat L - I'm so sorry Sarah can't see both Specialists! It's Half Term here so maybe the chap is off on holiday with his family! If that is the case they would have known that ages ago! Wishing Sarah all the best tonight and tomorrow and hope all goes well! Laine - I'm still catching up , but I was sorry to read about your Mum . I hope something can be done for her very soon! Glad your chariot is back on the road! Elaine - Andrew is amazing! I do hope he is feeling better despite the stitches!! Princess P - thinking of you too and missing you. Lots of love to everyone, Myra xx
Hi Sue, well step back fire and ice, I am in love with ice and ice! This card is beautiful and the technique certainly something that I will try. I don't have the ornate holly die but I think the Christmas scene mini background from last year might make a good substitute for a smaller card, I shall have to think on. Thank you for the clear video.
Thinking of all our poorly WIlsonettes and their families.
Hi Sue, Late with my comment today, computer playing up. Love the see through effect, I have the background die so I'm going to attempt something similar. Thanks for another great video. Lydia X

Hi Sue and lovely ladies what an inspiration! Sue I don't know where you get your ideas from but I sure am glad you share them with us. You come up with so many different techniques and different ways of using the beautiful dies you create. Today's card is no exception, so clever! And of course gorgeous too. Not been able to get on to post a comment past few days but I can see there have been some stunning cards. Yesterday's in particular was a WOW card for me. Ingenious! Laine, glad you're mobile again but so sorry to hear about your mum, hope she gets better soon. Look after each other. Yvonne, hope you're feeling better too hun.

Sue this is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way you have used the holly frame die with the glitter on both sides. This is one of my favourite dies and i have used it on quite a few of my christmas cards so far i just love the detail on it.
Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes, This is an awful bonny card Sue and i normally wouldn't go for red and white together, but this is just beautiful in every way. THis is the first i've had a chance all day to get 5 minutes to myself. Every time you go to do something someone wants your attention in other directions and now i'm just fair knackered so i'm sorry that i'm not longer flower but i will see you in the morning. Anyway my mind is away in other directions today so not really all that clever, love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue. WOW, WOW, WOW !!! This is a truly stunning Christmas card today and the video is fantastic !!! I love everything about it. I love your see through technique, it is fab and it certainly gives this card the "WOW" factor !!! Beautiful white see through glittery effects with more gorgeous, layered Christmas dies in red and white. I think this is the perfect Traditional Christmas card. (My favourite kind of Christmas card.) Thank you for sharing. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
Gorgeous card Sue. Just watched video and you make it all seem so easy!! Love the see through background which is so effective. Glad to hear your better news today Elaine. Your Andrew's a strong man. June and Sharon take care. Betty xx
A stunning card design today. Thanks for the video. Today's design makes me want to get out of bed tonight and make a similar card! Love the look of the Iced Snow layer.
WOW. This card is a beauty. The see through background looks stunning. I hope I get a chance to watch the video tomorrow. This week is disappearing far too quickly for me, I could do with a couple of extra hours to the day to catch up properly. Take care everyone.

Wow! this beauty is right up my street - if in doubt, throw some glitter onto it but even I wouldn't have thought of adding glitter to both sides of the sticky sheet so will be trying this asap..lol...and using red as a contrast colour is perfect, really sets off the focal point against all that bling.

The icy appeal and the hint of Christmas red are a great combination, love the card it's just gorgeous. x
Good morning Sue
What a great technique this is, may have to give this one a go, the holly frame is a lovely die to begin with and the see through element gives it a wow factor. The weather is dictating another craft day so a card to be made then some stitching. Yippee!

Morning Sue. What a lovely frost card, you can never have too much sparkle at Christmas time and I have to admit that I do like red and white as a colour combination for Christmas.

Hi Sue
Gorgeous card and great video as always, very festive
My granddaughter Sarah off to GOSH this morning, seeing a neurophysiologist tomorrow morning, sleep study tomorrow night and was supposed to see the orthopaedic surgeon on Thursday morning but now turns out he won't be there so they will be home again on Thursday evening, so frustrating

I've watched the video as I was intrigued about the " see-through background" !!! You are a very clever lady! I love that - it looks really effective! I love too how you mix and match your various Die sets! Thank you once again! I love this card with its pop of red!
It's a lovely day here again today but it's raining leaves! Aargh!
Pat L - I'm so sorry Sarah can't see both Specialists! It's Half Term here so maybe the chap is off on holiday with his family! If that is the case they would have known that ages ago! Wishing Sarah all the best tonight and tomorrow and hope all goes well!
Laine - I'm still catching up , but I was sorry to read about your Mum . I hope something can be done for her very soon! Glad your chariot is back on the road!
Elaine - Andrew is amazing! I do hope he is feeling better despite the stitches!!

Hi Sue, well step back fire and ice, I am in love with ice and ice! This card is beautiful and the technique certainly something that I will try. I don't have the ornate holly die but I think the Christmas scene mini background from last year might make a good substitute for a smaller card, I shall have to think on. Thank you for the clear video.
Thinking of all our poorly WIlsonettes and their families.

Sue this is absolutely gorgeous.
I love the way you have used the holly frame die with the glitter on both sides.
This is one of my favourite dies and i have used it on quite a few of my
christmas cards so far i just love the detail on it.
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. We are staying in Devon that's why my comments are late. The hotel wifi is rubbish. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is an awful bonny card Sue and i normally wouldn't go for red and white together, but this is just beautiful in every way. THis is the first i've had a chance all day to get 5 minutes to myself. Every time you go to do something someone wants your attention in other directions and now i'm just fair knackered so i'm sorry that i'm not longer flower but i will see you in the morning. Anyway my mind is away in other directions today so not really all that clever,
love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue,

Gorgeous card. Sorry haven't commented much recently but am visiting family in NZ and a bit out of sync with everything.
A stunning card design today. Thanks for the video. Today's design makes me want to get out of bed tonight and make a similar card! Love the look of the Iced Snow layer.
WOW. This card is a beauty. The see through background looks stunning. I hope I get a chance to watch the video tomorrow. This week is disappearing far too quickly for me, I could do with a couple of extra hours to the day to catch up properly.
Take care everyone.
