Hello crafters! Another Triple Gemini card, but this one uses the
Cepheus die set. I started with a piece of
wisteria card and used the smaller side of the die set to cut into the background four times. I used the longer decorative piece from the set to cut the design around the outside of the design. I backed the entire piece with black card, then used
Black Soot distress ink lightly around the edges to shadow and frame it. I matted it with a piece of white card. I stamped my sentiment from the
Large Elegant Sentiment clear stamp set. I used the inside die from the
Madeleine die set to create a frame by cutting it in white. I backed it with wisteria, then cut the centre out of it. I added mounting foam and seated it over my sentiment, adding it the the centre of the card. I cut three butterflies from the
Butterfly Background die and glittered them all with
Diamond Snow (using spray glue) and added them on to my card. I completed the card with white, wisteria and black mats. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card , lovely. Thank you Sue
Elaine, how is Andrew doing, you must be so worried about him. Caring thoughts to surround you all.
Tina, what good news about Peter going to his shed, now that he is more comfortable and eating do well he is coming on a treat. I need some of those pies .
Steph, you should not be angry with yourself, you have taken the sensible route to put your health first, you can't help being ill, don't punish yourself. Just remember your family want you safe and with them.
Lorraine, sorry I called you Laine yesterday, I knew it was you too.
June, you are progressing well to be on crutches now, won't be long before you are fully mobile but please don't rush it.
Norah, great news that Harry is walking, he will be everywhere at once now, happy days lol.
Hugs to all, esoecially Tracey,Wheeley andBilly, Lorraine, Laine, PP and all who are not well.
Lovely designed card
Gorgeous card today. I love the butterflies.

Morning Sue.
Thank you this is a lovely card so pretty.
Take care Kitty.
Good morning Sue. Beautiful card and an amazing use of the striplet die. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Good morning Sue and crafters all,
Lovely card today , I love the way you have used this die, unfortunate not to own this one.
What a clever way to give it that slight distressed look.
Pam - if you loved near by I would make you some. Peter even made his treacle tart when I was baking yesterday. He ate a good portion of the meat and potatoe pie with carrots, peas and mashed potato. After that he had a small pot of manderins in jelly, We eat a main meal at tea time, then at 9pm ate a quarter of his treacle tart with ice cream . Not for me as it would put my sugar levels out of the roof!!!!!
June Smith - keep up the good work, you soon will be fully fit.
Love and crafty hugs to all,
Tina T xxxxx
Morning Sue, lovely card today, the shapes, colours and design combine to make a very elegant card.

Morning Sue. Another Monday another week (is it my age but these weeks fly by so fast) and yet another beauty to help us start a week of the unknown. Maybe because I use my phone to browse my fav CE team blogs, the main colour looks either grey or silver, I was surprised to read it was one of my favourite colours - Wisteria. My dear friend treated me to a pack when it was first released and I love it so much I'm extra frugal with it just like my blush card lol I'm choosy about which cards I use them on !
A day in the warm, and a day with yourself and John catching up with your beautiful festive collection, I'm starting to look at my kitchen roll in a different light now thanks to John lol but even though he goes at it like a bull in a China shop he always makes the most lovely background with it, I dread to think what kind of mess id make of it ! But heyho, you've either got it or not and I'm afraid I'm just not that artistic or mindful to think up such clever ideas, but my day was non eventful but I gathered ideas, and really enjoyed fast forwarding many many shows both recent and from years ago to help jog my mind how I can bring my 'older and well loved' festive dies from your very first launch back to the top of my storage box and introduce them to the couple I have got from this year, all I need now is to feel like doing something, and when I do, it has to be my non gender specific baby cards cuz I can see them going away in my New Additions storage tub all cut and ready for use, and left until the new year to be made up. Here's a top... I wash out my Vanish gold tub for these little animals to live in and even though it's washed and rinsed several times it leaves the most daintiest, pretty smell on your card which last for ages and it's lovely to have that on a new baby card or on your die cut flowers.
Well my two have just got back so I'm leaving you with my usual daily hug Sue and wish you a lovely day. Thank you for a gorgeous start to our week xxx

Wonderful card! I thought it was a shadow box card at first but it's the distress ink that gives that illusion. A really lovely design Sue. Debra x

Hi Sue
A very beautiful card , i love your butterflies.
It was a very long day For Andrew Yesterday , he had an Xray and a ct scan ,that didnt show anything sinister, so they thought it may be a faecal blockage ,so he was given an enema however with his BP being so low he passed out and smacked his head very badly, having to have 15 stitches .
He was finally settled at 10 45 pm so very tired and badly bruised with an IV drip of Paracetamol and not in as much pain , so hopefully he managed to get some sleep .
We hope this has sorted the problem ,he will have something to eat today ,so fingers crossed .
We have to phone at midday , not sure if he will be allowed home ?, he has an appointment on
Wednesday for Bloods and general pre assessment before treatment number 3 on Thursday.
I will catch up with you all later today at some time.
Sending the usual hugs to all
Take Care

Hi sue and craft friends.
Very nice never thought of using them in this way. Everyday is a school day as they say lol. X
Well ladies I go back to work a week today so I'm trying my best to enjoy my last week doing just what I want an not bothering with anyone else lol. I've been busy with my Xmas cards and as I've s phased returns over the 6 weeks I'll be using the spare time for more Xmas cards lol.
It's just a shame I'm hitting the Xmas rush I hate Xmas time working in retail and I'm not allowed to do the nightshift this year and to be honest I don't think I'm fit enough to do it anyways lol.
The thought of working on the shop floor the week running up to Xmas fills me with dread lol I just hate crabbit people who can't find what they want but have had months to get it!! LOL oh well the joys. I'll just keep smiling :-D x
June glad ur on the mend. Keep up the good work.
Elaine. Oh my poor Andrew he's getting a right crap time of it. Wishing u all well tho. X
Lynda b. Halo ma wee pal. Have u had all ur tests done etc?
Wendy. Enjoy ur last week and I hope something comes up for u soon.
Julie laz. Any word on your eye transplant? I remember a wee while ago u we're asking about it. Did u do ur research? Xx
Love to all and special thoughts to our missing and ill friends xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another stunning card today.
Had bad night, could not get comfortable, tried so many positions, eventually got up and sat in the recliner chair most of the night, hopefully the physio will be here today to change the dressing as it is still bleeding.
Hugs to everyone, especially Tina T, Peter, Andrew Elaine and everyone else, you all know who you are.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Just love how you do this Sue, looking at it at first I would never have said it was a Gemini die, it looks beautiful cut into the card like that, how you line them up so well, I do not know. Think you need to do a one week workshop to show us all these amazing techniques you have tucked up your sleeve...an absolute stunning card Sue....luv Ursula xx
WOW Sue, a stunner of a card. When first looked at it, I thought "which die is that?" You are so clever, would have NEVER thought it is one of the Gemini dies.... Beautiful card, lovely.
Hugs, Rose
I love the way you have used these dies and used black card as a backing which adds depth. Thanks.

What a delightful card, Sue. The butterflies are a wonderful touch, bringing a piece of summer into this wet and dreary day.
Believe it or not I was actually going to try and do something in the garden today, so thank to Mother Nature for having the sense to send non-stop rain since yesterday afternoon lol.

Hello Sue.
Very elegant. I like the way you have used the Cepheus die set. My monitor is not picking up the wisteria colour well but I can imagine the colour combination is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hello Sue,
I'm sorry I didn't comment yesterday but the day just ran away from me!
I loved both the cards and today''s is really pretty also.
I haven't read all the comments either so this is when our N0 1. Pam comes into her own! Thanks Pam.
Sorry some have clearly had a stressful weekend! Hope things are looking a little brighter today!
Good to have our lovely Norah back! So pleased you are feeling better and that video of Harry and the look of sheer joy and pride on his little face was great!
Congratulations to all the weekend's winners . I know I'm late!!
Love to all, must go as After School Craft today!! Lovely! Hmm!
Myra xx
So elegant!
Hi Sue, when I first looked at this beautiful card I thought I had mis-remembered one of your dies. No-one would guess that you had made multiple cuts, your alignment is amazing and the glittered butterflies are delicious.
Laine - so sorry for your poor mum, not only is she suffering pain it must be so frustrating for her not knowing exactly what is causing it. I hope you give her extra hugs.
Frances
This is an awesome design with you cutting the smaller Cepheus die four times and the longer Cepheus die cut for the outside of the design. Your alignment is perfect. The black card stock makes a great shadow effect for the Wisteria colored card layer. This Wisteria card stock is such a lovely shade of purple. I love purple!
Good afternoon Sue,
A very opulent card today. Yvonne xx
Stunning
This is so pretty! I think the addition of the butterflies is so lovely! You always know just what a card needs to look complete! TFS!
Beautiful I love how you've edged the wisteria card with black and those butterflies look perfect as the finishing touch xx
I to was surprised to see this made from a Gemini die. Lovely card. I would like to see the original as, on my iPad the wisteria, which I know is a gorgeous colour, actually shows as grey for me. Can't reproduce the card as I don't have the dies but will have to play with this colour combination.
Teresa
Gorgeous card, wouldn't have known it was done with a gemini die
Love this card as I don't think we say these words enough.xx
Such a beautiful card, the butterflies are so pretty. Creative Blessings, Tracy x

Hi Sue. Such a pretty card today, I think the colours you have chosen really help to make it special.

Once again you have shown the versatility of your dies, I Need to think more outside the box! Love the muted colours and anything with butterflies does it for me! Thank you Sue.

Hi Sue. Like many others I didn't recognise the die used today as a Gemini die. Gorgeous card.
Elaine. Poor Andrew - he certainly went through it yesterday. hopefully he was able to leave hospital today.
Thank you for your good wishes everyone. Counting Down the days til Thursday when the stitches come out, even though
My hand will be replastered for another 4 weeks. It's nothing compared with many of the problems experienced by others on this blog so
I'm lucky really. Best wishes to everyone.

Wow Sue can't believe this stunning card is done using the gemini Die.
I love it and never even thought of being able to use it like you have.
You are truly talented and always look forward to learning new things.
Hi Sue. A gorgeous card with some beautiful coloured card, looks very subtle in its colouring. The butterflies are stunning and you cant beat a card with butterflies or ribbon on. Great versatility in your dies.

Hi Sue. Sorry I have not been around for a week but it has been a very busy, chaotic time for us. I absolutely love your card today !!! Your new Gemini Die looks very interesting. Something very different from all your other ones. I think it looks like a seashell. A very pretty die that looks very versatile as your card today illustrates. I love how you have cut it going around in a sort of circle. I think it is such a great idea and it has produced such lovely effects. I like your colour combo but I think it would look great in other colours to. I like the centre die you have used from your Madeline die set for your sentiment. I really love your gorgeous Butterfly embelishments Sue !!! They really add the perfect finishing touches to your card. Thank you for sharing it today. Thank you, also, for all the other cards you have shared this week. I have looked at them all and they are all gorgeous Sue !!!
I got the whole of your gorgeous new Indian Ocean Collection for my Birthday Sue, from my Steve. I am so very lucky to have him !!! I also got the Noble Circles Set B and some of your gorgeous new Christmas dies from my family !!! I can't wait to get started on my next card. The only problem is I have to clear up my craft desk again first !!! Sending you lots of love today Sue from Tres x x x
