Gorgeous card Sue, love it. I can smell the coffee.
Congratulations to Hetty. Enjoy your lovely card.
Elaine, glad that Andrews sense if humour still on top.. i remember those injections in my stomach, one daughter straight in there, the other more timid in case she hurt me, they both did lol. Hope the tests you had are okay.
Tina, it is a long way off to the 26th, it leaves you in a kind of limbo. Peter will be watching on his birthday. I always light one of those long burning candles. I can imagine how beautiful the flower smell was. My hugs to you and Owen.
Dawn, I know the feeling about things wearing out, don't like this getting old lark. Take care of that shoulder.
Nirah, thanks for the tip re Ribena Spicy, haven't seen that one and I love cinnamon. I giot Asda Cherries and Berries which is lovely (other brands are available) as they say.
Maureen and Yvonne, hope you have come back down to earth gently. It must have been fun, wish I could have seen it. PP hope the parents are okay. Your names for them made me think of the Weebles.
Hugs to all, especially our missing friends, Wheeley, Laine, hope all is okay with you girls. NannaTina, big hug for you .
Beautiful card. Congratulations Hetty.

Morning dear Sue. Hetty, well done I'm tickled pink for you, enjoy your lovely gift from Sue, what an absolute beauty you've won xx
There you go again Sue. How ? Why can't I be blessed with such an imagination, to use just a small portion of the SB frame would never ever of entered my head until now, it seems an obvious thing to do now you've done it but to me - it's a frame a full frame, boy Sue you've done it again lol. I spent an hour the other day frantically going through a FULL large paper shredding box looking for a tea cup ! My room I work in is a tiny 2nd box room and the only wall that has sockets on has my machine and shredder plugged in with said shredder on the floor below the chest of drawers my machine stands on, so I'd cut the set in left overs of pretty paper for the 'china cup' effect, lifted the cutting plate and .... ping, that sound that makes your heart sink, ohhh NO ! (Something like that anyway) !! 😕 had it fallen behind the heavy chest of drawers or into the very full shredder or was it just nestling up against the skirting board, I moved the Hoover to check, couldn't see it, so only thing to do is empty the shredder onto the middle of the floor !! After going through half the pike I was losing the will to live I can tell you, I'd get cramp in my feet, and having no meat on my bun cheeks it was getting painful lol so again I checked on the floor by the plug board before attempting the second mound of shredded paper, there was my tiny tea cup under the plug board !!! Luckily Andy got home 5 minutes later so he could rescue me off the floor but I learnt a valuable lesson that afternoon I can tell you ! So Sue, thank you once again for showing me how to literally think 'outside the frame' and now my frame is more than a frame it's a section of 3 little boxes that will be used many times over. I do love your idea's so here's a big thank you hug from me xx
Morning Sue. This is a great card. The colours are beautiful, clean and simple. My husband would love this one as always has a coffee in his hand. Thanks for a great video. Congratulations to Hetty on winning Wednesdays gorgeous card. Have a great weekend everyone.
Best Wishes.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh yes todays card is gorgeous, I am going to watch the video in a minute when hubby brings in my breakfast, looking forward to that, as Pam said you can almost smell the coffee.
I also reiterate what Pam has said this morning, you put everything in perspective Pam, we love you to bits.
Congratulations Hetty, you are one very lucky lady to have won this card, I am very envious, it is a beautiful keepsake.
Off to an all day craft workshop tomorrow so have got a long list of things to get ready, that is if I can find what I am looking for. Also got my youngest son and two grandchildren popping in this morning for a couple of hours, going to enjoy that.
Oh here comes breakfast, catch you all later.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, great card, love coffee but it doesn't like me.

Good morning Sue and Crafters all
Lovely card today I know a few coffee holiest!!!! Shame one of the has just had a birthday. John Lockwood did one with coffee beans as a shaker card which was great too.
Congratulations Hetty on your win!!!!
Pam, thank you for your lovely kind words. Yes it is a long time. Equipment people are coming this morning to remove their pieces. It's hard coming down and staring at an empty bed.
Stephanie I like you drop the little dies and being brown on a brown carpet is a bit frustrating.
To June, Elaine,Andrew,Helen, Craftysuetoo,Dragonsnap2,NannaTina our love goes out to you with hugs of course.
Love and crafty hugs to all

Hi Sue
So simple but striking. Another bright day today.! But maybe still a crafting day.
Heather R Oxfordshire
Hi Sue and everyone who, like me, was surprised by the idea of a partial shadow box.
What a concept! And a magnet on an extending handle for recapturing tiny dies! Thank you, Lydia Jordan! And to whoever it was yesterday who suggested that any swirl or leaf or frond could work as a background the way Sue showed the Swirly Leaf Trio on Friday. And using gloss to make the mugs and coffee pot look ceramic. So many ideas in two days!
Just gotta say, that Pacific tag is so nice.
We all wish we were you, Hetty. Enjoy!
Love,
Donita in R.I.
Hi Sue. Love it! SueL x

Congratulations Hetty, enjoy your beautiful card.

Lovely 'crisp' looking card
Hi Sue
What a great card today, perfect for those coffee drinking males in our life ! Would be fun to put a coffee sachet or coffee filter bag in it too as a bonus and make it smell nice. Could be used as an invite to a coffee morning. Thank you for the ideas, it's great to take them and run with what pops into your head.
Love Diane G xxx

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue
I've Just Watched Today's Video Tutorial With lots Of "Great Tips And Techniques"
I Love "The Shadow Box Die" It Was Great To See How You Trasformed The Die By
Only Using The Very Top Of The Die Using "The Stunning Chestnut Foundation Card"
Also Adding "The Terrific Sticky Sheet" So You Could Add Your Awesome Glitter.
I Just Love "The Pinpoint Matrix Embossing Folder" Its So Extremely "Tactile" To Touch
Using "The Shadow Box Collection "Thanks 'A' Latte" Eleven Small Dies In This Collection
Once You've Cut Out Your "Coffee Pot And Mugs" Splendid Idea To Add "The Creative Expression
Clear Varnish Lacquer" To Give Your Cut Outs A More Authentic Look.
I Would Possibly Add A Few Real Coffee Beans Also (As "The Cosmic Acrylic Glue" Sticks Everything)
Then For Your Superb Sentiment You've Used "The Pacific Ocean Tag Duo Dies"
I Would Send This Card To A Friend As A Quick Message About Meeting For Coffee And Cakes !!!!!!!
Sue Thank You For Today's Tremendous Video I Love Watching Your Videos And Watch Them Over And Over Again.
Thank You For The Daily Inspiration I For One Truly Appreciate Everything You Do.
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Sue Lots Of Love And Huge Hugs 🤗

Teresa
Hello Sue,
I haven't been able to watch the video as my iPad won't play ball which is quite unlike it! However I get the idea which is a brilliant one! AGAIN!!! You are a clever lady! This is so effective and adds yet another use for the Die! I'm guessing you can use any bits of the Shadow Box ! Let's hope I'm right and not talking absolute twaddle! Careful, Maureen!!!
Thanks Pam - you keep us up to date with everything and you have a gift for saying what we are thinking!! How are you? Any better? I do hope so.
Maria - have a lovely holiday but steady on the Gluwein!! Have the odd hot chocolate as well!! Xxx
Love to all, Myra xxx
