Morning Sue.
Thank you so much a beautiful card and lovely video.
Congratulations to Cathin mg.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Such a beautiful card Sue,thank you for all your hard work and sharing it all with us.
Congratulations to Cathy.
Love the card. The flowers look amazing. I'm not very good with flowers or bows - think it's because my hands are so bad now but actually have never been that good.
Congratulations to Cathy. Enjoy!
Elaine, thanks for asking about us. We had a really bad end to the year which I won't go into as per Sue's request but looking forward to a better year this year. My new granddaughter is due in a couple of weeks, just before we go on holiday so feeling positive as is my sister.
Craft hugs to all who want or need them. Thinking of you all.
Happy crafting.

Morning to you Sue on this horrible cold Saturday, not to worry though, learning how to craft via this blog and your tutorials always brightens the day. I've not watched yet as my 'keeper' is still sleeping but what I really love about your all your flower dies is that they are so inter-changeable, a daisy doesn't have to be a daisy etc, and since the stamens came along you can make them even more realistic. To think they are being used for wedding flowers says it all really - amazingly beautiful. Your gift today looks really regal and I love the mix of dies you've used. I look forward to watching once my two have gone in their foggy, owl hooting walk, unfortunately without the guide of the amazing 'big sky' now we are back in Lancashire. Sending you Saturday hugs, and congratulations to CathyinMN on your Wednesday win xx
Beautiful details on this lovely card!
Beautiful card, Sue, such a pretty colour combo and the video as always with your useful tips - thank you. Who wouldn't be inspired?!
Dragonsnap - think your glue idea was for my benefit, so thanks. Am guilty of taking short cuts which sometimes lead down a very long road, so will use the slidy glue in future!
Hugs to all who need one. Short and sweet as sadly still objections being posted.
Well done to CathyinMN on the card win.

Good morning Sue. Beautiful card but will have to save the video for another day as we have a very busy weekend.
Pam, please don't be upset about some comments, Robbie is an amazing young man and his story is nothing but inspirational and positive. Thinking about all my other blog buddies in pain or caring for loved ones, you know who you are. Hugs to all. Sue x
Hi again, sorry forgot to congratulate Cathy on your win. Sue
Thanks Sue for the helpful tip 're snipping into the petal which I remember from a previous demo on tv. I know it will be really useful for those like myself that feel our fingers don't belong to us lol. All I need now is the die and stamens to put your helpful tip into practice. Thanks, Steph xx
GM Sue. Fab card and great tip re the flower. I'll be doing that from now on!
Good morning Sue
I love today's card it's so pretty! Great tip about adding the stamens it's so much easier than having to thread them through thanks for sharing! I enjoyed the video you always show how easy it is to achieve beautiful cards!
Congratulations to CathyinMN MN!

Lovely card! Really great tip with the Stamens although I think I'd prefer them on a less 'flat' flower.
Congratulations to CathyinMN on her win!
Can I just say that I have no problem with people keeping in touch on the blog as it may be the only way some of them get any contact with one another. I don't often read them anyway unless I spot one asking for help as that's what us bloggers do, help one another, isn't it? Debra x
Hi Sue
Amazing card.Love the colours and the flowers.

Hello Sue
Love the difference the Stamens make to a flower!
Congratulations to Cathy
Love Marg
Who would have thought silver, pink and white would look so elegant together?! Very pleasing!
Thanks to everyone who offered advice on where to get Pixie Powders and how Pearl Ex just isn't anything like them. I was looking at Perfect Pearl Powder from Ranger, too, but those don't seem to explode into related colors the way Pixies do. Pixies really do look like fun. I might wait, though. I laid in a supply of Brilliance reinkers for my paintroller technique. If I document that on my blog and someone wants to swap sheets of Pixie backgrounds for sheets of Brilliance backgrounds, which are also shimmery, maybe we could figure out how to do it. I've never mailed anything internationally.
Pam, if you click on my name, you will be taken to my blog, which is blogspot like this one. You'll see my email address, and we can go off topic in private. Each blog has an intended purpose, and it's evident that this community needs a place where members can talk about non-crafting things and keep in touch about personal lives. Maybe a Facebook group? That would keep Particraft open for talk about Sue's ideas and products.
Enjoy a crafty Saturday!

Hi Sue - a really beautiful card and I love the colours you have chosen. I always ended up spoiling my flowers when trying to poke stamens through the middle until I saw you demonstrate it on a previous show and this method is brilliant. Thank you for another great video. Congratulations to Cathy on winning your beautiful card. Sending best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Beautiful card Sue, been thinking about buying the Tahiti die and the flower and stamens, and the border sets it all off, so the decision has been made for me.

Hi Sue,
What a gorgeous card and I love that cool, elegant colour scheme...thanks for the tip re inserting the stamens into the centres of the flowers, much easier than making a hole and then trying to poke them through!...

Congratulations to todays card winner, enjoy your gift.
Take care everyone, Jess xxx
Hi Sue
This is just so stunning!
If you won't give me private tuition - can I have the piece of your brain that comes up with this?
I pretty much have all of your dies - and I have to say that the Indian Ocean and the Pacific are possibly my all time favourites. On the other hand you will probably bring out some more now and then what will I do
Beautiful card great video - now that's done when are lessons starting
Hugs xx
Good morning sue and all. Beautiful card this morning and looking forward to watching the video. The colours on this card are very pretty. congratulations to Cathy. Wendy

Hi Sue. What a really pretty card again today. I have watched the video and am pleased to see an easier way to add stamens to the flowers. They are so effective but I found they were so fiddly to do. Thanks for sharing

Absolutely inspiring, Sue! I have a special card to make for a close friend's 60th, and although I haven't got all of these dies, I have enough of the Indian and Pacific sets to adapt it a little. One of the best! Thank you.

d from northants ,wishing you a very Happy Birthday.xxxx
Pam sending you a big hug ,your friends will always support you . xxxx

Good Morning Sweet Sue, a really beautiful card today and so pretty. I love your designs. Hope you enjoying your time in the US, and Ive been told the new dies you have designed are just gorgeous, so looking forward to them. hugs Shirleyxxxx
Hi Sue, just beautiful and I love the softness of the silver and pink card. Great tip about the stamens, like Rosemarie I am sure I have some somewhere!
CathyinMN - Congratulations on being this week's Wednesday Winner, enjoy your beautiful tree card.
Frances
Hi Sue,
Oh what a beautiful card. Love the colours, but can't see any pink card like fluffycat obviously can. Don't know how to describe the colour I see on my PC but a greyish teal would best describe - looks fantastic.
As does your card. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Rose
A stunning card and as I have most of those dies I will have to have a go.
Elaine mentioned that someone had commented on the length of posts. I didn't see this comment but why. If I am in a hurry I don't read the other posts I just add mine, if I am not in a hurry I often enjoy seeing what others wrote. But no one makes anyone read them so if you want to write a book and Sue is not complaining I do not see that anyone else has the right to complain.
Sorry I do not often comment on more than the card Sue has made, but I love the fact that this is a happy friendly group. Please whoever you were - don't spoil that.
Helen
Hi Sue,
This looks good - will try to watch the video later.

Hello Sue
Lovely colours and the use of the stamens brilliant. I have just finished 2 baby cards using your shadow box dies I used the square waste to make one, spelling out baby alternating with the little duck. Anybody got any other ideas my waste pile is increasing. Hugs to Elaine, Tina and Pam.

Love this card and really into grey/silver and white at the moment.

Hi Sue and everyone
Gorgeous card and video with great tips as usual. I love how all your flower dies can be so versatile and look so different depending on how you make them up. Brilliant and great value for money too.
Congratulations to CathyinMN on your family tree card win. You love it I'm sure. X
I wasn't sure I'd get much use out of the tree die set, but seeing just the branches used with the flowers makes it worthwhile I feel.
Sending love and best wishes to everyone

Hello Sue.
Lovely Card. I think it has a real elegance about it and I like the colouring. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations CathyinMN.
Best wishes
Lovely card as ever Sue.
I am a long time admirer of Sues work and was at one time a regular contributor to this and a number of craft blogs. I have always avoided social media because I believe if used wrongly it can be dangerous, hurtful and devicive. I felt craft blogs were a safe forum for like minded people until I realised there were a number of toxic people when nasty, hurtful comments were made about a friend.They were veiled but I knew who was being referred to. Since then I read the blogs but don't choose to comment.That does not mean I do not appreciate the work that has gone in to the creations.
It is clear that a number of people have gained love and support from each other through this blog. It may be any of us that need that kind of support at any time. I know both professionally and personally that life spins on the turn of a coin. Maybe those of you who find the support good and helpful should swap email addresses or phone numbers so that you can continue to support each other. Maybe those of you who object to anything other than craft comments should step back and consider that blogs can be a lifeline to some people and it could be you tomorrow who's life is turned upside down and never the same again.
It is a new year be kind to each other and try to see each other's point of view.
I won't be commenting again for the reasons I gave earlier that doesn't mean I don't love all the creative expressions team and their work but will continue to hold my own counsel. Take care ladies and be kind xxx
So pretty!
A very lovely card with a surprise. The stamens give even more life to the flowers. The colors are so pretty together. More dies I have to get!
Really enjoy this card!! Like how the stamens actually bring the flower to life. Awesome!!!! Congrats to the winner of the free card.

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a wonderful card and tutorial to brighten a foggy and very damp Saturday. The colour combination is lush, i really love the silver with a hint of blush. The die combination is inspiring and helps me to explore the possibilities when playing with card layouts....i find your blog invaluable in that respect, i cant even think inside the box never mind outside it!:-). The tip about the stamens was great, it all makes perfect sense now so why didn't i think of it? I love the striped nasturtiums, they are so beautiful and adaptable. Thanks for another fabulous video and all the hard work you put in on our behalf.
I was reminded, as if i needed a reminder, last night of just how wonderful this blog can be when used for what I believe to be the right reasons....reasons that i am sure were at the heart of Sues original vision. I spoke with my dear friend and occasional sparring partner Yvonne who, as you know, is having a difficult time with her Mum and Dad at the moment. That though, wasn't the main topic of conversation though, we were more animated about the current ructions on the blog. Both of us as you know, are quite chatty individuals and that can be a challenge to reign in on occasion. We both hope that we can spread a little joy, love and laughter with our musings . i am hurt and saddened that some people are continuing to put their own spin on what Sue had to say the other day, some seem to have interpreted it to mean that any type of conversation on the blog is prohibited. I messaged Sue myself to ask if my comments were inappropriate in any way and she was clear that she had no problem with lengthy comments rather it was certain disclosures of a sensitive nature that had prompted her actions. So for those still unhappy with the length or friendly nature of some friends on the blogs posts then the simple solution is to just ignore them and make your own comment to Sue. I am certain that the continuation of this negative vibe on the blog is distressing Sue and that in turn upsets me. A visitor to the blog barbiepinkfairy assessed the situation beautifully, we would all do well to heed her wise words and begin the year in the spirit of love, tolerance and friendship.
Pam, please don't take this mood on the blog to heart, keep up your usual comments because they are invaluable and you are missedxxx
Elaine, i hope Andrews treatment went well this week and that he is feeling a bit better. Please don't censor your comments either, they are vital in keeping those of us that care abreast of Andrews progressxxx
Tina, hope Peter had a more comfortable dayxxx
Lynda, hope you are feeling better, hugsxx
Special hugs to Yvonne, her Mum and Dad, have a good rest tomorrow in preparation for your trip on Mondayxxx
Hugs to P, Frances, Myra,Maureen, Pat, Maria, Theresa, Deb C, Wheely, Norah, June and all the lovely , kind ladies on this blog.

Well said, barbiepinkfairy!
Anytime you have healing wisdom like that, I hope you will share.

What a beauty and so elegant too, love it Sue, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am loving gray (silver) as a neutral. I see it in a lot of home decor. Seems to go with everything. That was a great idea as to the stamens although I have never used them myself. Something new to try if I can find them. I do want the Pacific Ocean collection....everything! I just love it.
Everyone enjoy your weekend. We did get snow and our concrete is solid ice so makes taking the dogs out challenging.
