Hi crafters! Today's offering is a diagonal Gemini die border card using wisteria, white and black card. I started by cutting the diagonal border in coconut white card using the Cepheus Gemini die. I did two across without the cutting edge, then flipped it the other way and centred it below in the middle and used the matching cutting edge. I followed the shape and hand cut the remaining areas to the edges of the card. I backed it wit a piece of wisteria card that I scored the bottom to add detail. For the focal element, I cut the Butterfly Frame centre in white and backed it with wisteria card. I cut the same die in back and cut it in half and added it to the sides peeking out from underneath. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the Double Pierced Noble Circle die, adding a light inking of Chic Viola Colour Cloud before removing it and a black mat from the B set. I cut several of the Exquisite Poppies in wisteria card, adding black lines with a fine tipped pen. I added black centres and white pearls to them and arranged them around the focal element with Lace Edged Leaves, Olive Branches and white satin ribbon. White, wisteria and black mats were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

What a lovely start to my Friday. Good morning Sue. You are clever,I couldn't do that, I don't even understand how even after reading your method a few times, I'm so dumb lol, but today's sample is so effective and the pop of black card just emphasises the rest of the design. Tell me, why don't my poppy flowers look like yours ? I was and still am in the process of cutting some to add to a Get Well card for my market basket but the Cotterill version and the Wilson version don't look anything like !! Hohum I keep trying lol.
Thank you for a lovely Friday morning and I'm sending you my usual daily hug xx
GM Sue. Very classy card. Love the flowers!
Really lovely card

I understand what Stephanie means about the poppies, as I was going to say exactly the same thing! I have been making some from vellum this week and I must say that I was pleased with how they turned out, so I shall keep experimenting. Have a good weekend.
Morning Sue, a truly stunning card today in my favourite colours again. The Cepheus Gemini makes a striking border at the bottom and the poppy flowers are gorgeous. In fact, everything on it is gorgeous. Thank you once again.
Hugs xx
Dawn Searle
Good morning Sue. Wow, this is stunning! The amount of work that has gone into it is truly a labour of love.

Hi Sue,
what a lovely, gorgeous card. It's singing to me on this grey day..........
Don't know what happened yesterday but I didn't see the cascading butterfly card. That one is beautiful, too. Don't know why I held out getting this one, thinking I have enough butterflies - what a silly woman I was. So glad I got it now. :)
Hugs, Rose
What a beautiful card you have given us today, I love everything about it!

Morning Sue. A gorgeous card. The colours are lovely with the black making everything pop. I love using the gemini and striplet dies because they are so versatile, for backgrounds or focal elements. The flowers are stunning, a great idea to use a pen to hi light the veins. Have a great weekend everyone.
Best Wishes.

Good morning Sue,
Absolutely exquisite card, I love making cards in this style. Thanks to you Sue for designing beautiful cards as I have tried to make some in this style & they have always been greatly received. I would never have thought of making cards like this, so thanks again for taking me out of my comfort zone. Yvonne xx
Dear Sue et al,
Cepheus is so lovely like that, and the squares from the butterfly frame are another example of pleasing contrast. Thanks for the fine-line pen idea on the flowers.
Happy Friday everybody.
Love,
Donita
Good Morning Sue!
My screen is showing cream, I have to imagine White, but it still looks lovely!

Hi Sue - what an incredible card - all the dies work so well together and the arrangement is amazing. Wisteria is my go-to colour at the moment, just love the subtleness of it. Thank you for another brilliant idea for a layout. Sending best wishes

Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card, I love the soft lavender you used, and I am going to experiment with the diagonal cut using the Gemini dies I have this afternoon.
I've had a busy week with my sister visiting, now I have to play catch up with all the posts I missed.
Happy Birthday Pam, you deserve a wonderful one and enjoy your holiday.
Healing prayers and gentle hugs to all in need of them.

Hi Sue
Love this card, the Gemini shape is so beautiful.
Pam i hope you are having a wonderful Birthday time away with lovely sunshine.xxx
Wheelybad , thinking of you and hoping your down days get less , just hang on in there we have the summer to look forward to and hopefully this will help .I do hope Mr 's interview was successful as this will lift your spirits . take care and big hugs xxxxx.
Dragonsnap ,i do hope you are more comfortable this morning .xx
Lorraine , OMGoodness you are such a hoot , i would never feel down in the dumps for too long if i had you for my neighbor .
PP i do hope you feel better this morning, big hugs xx.
Andrew is doing just fine up to press , when the sun came out yesterday he was in the garden doing a bit of weeding and tidying up , he seems to think that keeping busy both in body and mind is helping to keep the side effects at bay .
The Hospital have told Helen her lovely Mum has not responded to the medication , she is heavily sedated and comfortable so now it is just a matter of time .
Helen is holding up well and thinking it will be a blessing when the time comes ,it is just heart wrenching that she cant be there to hold her Mums hand at this sad time .
Take care everyone sending big hugs to all who need one.
Elaine H X
Wow wow wow stunning and gorgeous and fabulous. By the way I like this card Sue, just in case you didn't know. Have a great day hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Gorgeous card, Sue, love the layout - particularly the bottom right corner with the scoring and love the poppies which should go without saying! My message should have said yesterday 'paper piecing' not piercing (new release), did print a whoops message but that didn't appear either.
Wheely - so good to see you again, sorry for the tough times and really hope pain clinic helps. Big hugs for Billy and hope good news on the job front, too.
Laine and Carmen - thanks for the laughs, PP have a great holiday and recharge!!
What does Sither mean, Saba? Curious now.
Missing you Pam.
Hugs to all poorly people or if you just need one.

Hello Sue,
Thank you for yet another idea using the Cepheus die, wouldn't have thought of teaming it up with the square from the Butterly Frame though so that's something to try this afternoon...
Wheelybad - so nice to see you back again, hope Mr. W's job application was successful...

What a gorgeous card, and the colours are so lovely. That Gemini die is beautiful.
Hi Sue what a gorgeous card today, I have the die you used to make the edge but haven't used it like that. Time to change that I think. I do love your poppies, they take on so many different forms don't they. I must try again to get some wisteria card, the local craft shop keeps selling out, it's such a pretty soft colour. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xx
Pam hope you are having a lovely time, we miss you up top. Xxx
Elaine my heart goes out to Helen, it's so sad she isnt able to visit mum and be with her. Mum sounds comfortable and looked after so that must help her. Please give Helen a big hug xxx

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card using my favourite wisteria. All the elements fit together beautifully and you have so much patience scoring all those thin lines to add extra definition. Love the diagonal cutting as well.
Wheely - good to see you yesterday but so sorry that things have not been good for you. Hopefully the pain clinic will be able to help. Glad Billy is getting back to his old self and fingers crossed that Mr W has good news.
Laine - no more visits from the interloper?

Very beautiful with a touch of delicacy, a gorgeous card.
Well it feels so strange posting at this time of day,. Stayed with family in Birmingham overnight, left early this morning and arrived here lunchtime. Very cloudy but dry .Wheeley, so good to see you pop in yesterday,I. So sorry that they still haven't sorted your pain out yet, it must be draining you, hope Mr W is lucky in his job quest, excellent news about Billy. Please don't think you burden us, I certainly don't feel that.
Elaine, my heart goes out to you all, especially Helen, it must be so hard that she can't be with her Mum during her last days but I believe her Mum will know she is with her in her heart.
Dragonsnap, hope you are more comfortable today.
Sharon, I wonder if your body is just responding to the prolonged period of illness you have had, you must be so run down,fingers crossed the lump is not serious.
Pp have a lovely holiday, Laine will miss you whatever she says.
Thank you for well wishes everyone, nice to know I'm missed, birthday tomorrow April 1st.
Hapoy National Kindness day, Crewe Trish got it spot on, this is the kindest blog ever.
Oh and I would like to know what Sither means too.
Big hugs to all, especially all our friends who are missing, suffering illness or caring for others.
What a lovely card; the wisteria is perfect for it, such a delicate shade. The poppies are really special and I DO like the way you have used the die to make the edge,but....oh dear, I haven't got that one. Perhaps it's time to change that!!Trouble is, I really like ALL your dies. As ever, thanks for all the inspiration
Beautiful card

WOW! Such a lovely card. Thank you for sharing and showing how one could make even another design by using this Gemini die. Your ability and creativeness is amazing how you can manipulate your dies to create a new design giving us buyers of your dies so much more value.
Very geometric and bold.
Beautiful card, love the colours.

Such a pretty card today and I surprised myself by recognising the butterfly central Die! It's another lovely set! Your flowers are beautiful and the soft tones enhanced with the pop of black are beautiful! Thank you Sue for another beauty to brighten the day.
So pleased you have arrived safely Pam! Hopefully you missed the worst of the traffic today! Enjoy your holiday and have a great day tomorrow!

You Started With A Piece Of "Coconut White Card" Cut To Size, Sue, Then You Cut Out The Extremely Beautiful

What an exquisite card today. It's the perfect way to show how versatile your dies are and how they can all be used with one another. The design and colors are delicate and lacy, lovely and luscious.

Hi Sue
Wisteria and chic viola - so pretty x
Exquisite poppies - perfect x
Lace edged leaves and olive branch - delicate and delightful x
Need I say more - love this card x
I'm afraid I have had to admit defeat as far as prep for the holiday is concerned. I am completely done in and am off to bed shorty leaving the boys to deal with everything x
On that note I will say goodbye for the foreseeable as I am not sure when I will be able to get internet connection (very frustrating knowing that there is a launch looming). Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone especially my blog besties x
Take care

Beautiful wisteria card Sue. Love the Cephious Gemini die. Xx
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Totally exquisite, love all of the components of this card, it just sings to me. The Gemini die is stunning cut diagonally across this card and the poppies with their black veins and centres are beautiful and provide the perfect embellishment. It's certainly a card to place in my must do folder.
Busy, busy day, didn't think that i would have the time or the energy to comment today but i was so impressed with today's sample that i had to pop by again. Keeping it brief because my bed is calling me urging me to collapse into it.
Pam, glad you reached your destination safely, it felt strange this morning coming onto the blog without your cheery, reassuring words that set us all up for the day ahead. Hope you have a fabulous day tomorrow, you deserve itxxx
Frances, Ginger Boy we thought, had gotten the message because he disappeared for a couple of days, however, this afternoon he cheekily ran past my Mum into our kitchen making a beeline for the biscuits:-) We sent him on his merry way again but he is obviously being fed elsewhere and hopefully it's a loving, caring home.
June, that cheers me up no end knowing that you enjoy my musings....others on the blog don't seem to appreciate me quite so much:-)....if I succeed in bringing a smile to anyone's face then i am more than ecstatic.
Elaine, my heart breaks for Helen, it must be so hard being separated from her Mum as she suffers, however, Andrews progress will help matters i hope. If anyone deserves something to laugh about its you my dear, and i am so honoured to have provided you with a little light relief:-) Hugs to you all, your in my thoughts dailyxxx
Saba, my Mum is a Yorkshire lass and has been known to say "Sithey", does that have a similar meaning as "Sither"? She's from West Yorkshire, Brighouse near Huddersfield so there may be regional differences....
Yvonne, hope you get a decent rest tonight and have a safe trip to the Isle of Wight tomorrow. A few misguided people on the blog think that I will miss you but we both know better don't we? :-) I will be fully expecting a stick of rock at the very least on your return my dear otherwise you'll feel the wrath of my tongue:-) Enjoy yourself with the boys and Dylanxxx
Carmen, why on earth did you think that I was a smoker??!!? I only have respectable vices such as shopping, alcohol, young men, Sue's dies of course and yet more shopping.....smoking is a waste of money, makes you smell bad and ages you prematurely and i have standards to keep! My Mum smokes but I confine her to her bedroom since its an nasty, unsociable habit and i don't want the neighbours knowing she's an addict:-) You evaded my question about whether or not i was welcome to stay with you sometime.....I.m beginning to sense that you are all mouth and no action....just saying!
Crafty hugs to all my besties on the blog, I won't list you because i have so many:-)....and it would be tedious to those with few friends ie Carmen and Yvonne, don't wish to rub salt in the wounds:-)

Hello Sue,
Love today's card, love it lots. The Cepheus die looks stunning cut on the diagonal especially with the scored wisteria card as a back drop. You are winning me over with your black highlighting, it really does add contrast and sets off the wisteria beautifully.
Pam I'm so glad you have arrived safely, you were missed this morning. Bet you are so excited tonight!
Wheelybad it's nice to see you back but sorry you have been having such a rough time of it.
Now as to Sither. Myra you were right and that's how it would have been translated in days gone by. And Laine there are regional variations but all mean the same. There's Sither, Sitha and Sithey, It's more modern translation would be - look here! Or see here!
Yvonne my bed is calling too, have a lovely holiday.
Love and hugs for all
Saba xxx
Hi Sue what a beautiful card I love the way you have used the Cepheus die
pam hope you have a lovely birthday tomorrow
Wheelybad sorry you have had a tough time recently hope things improve for you soon

Sharon so sorry to hear you are having more problems lets hope the lump is nothing serious

Hi Sue
A really beautiful colour combination for this gorgeous card!
I love the way you use the Gemini Cepheus die in this card and how you have placed the centre from the Butterfly Frame.
I find that little centre so useful and have used it a lot.
Have a great weekend Sue and all your Blog Followers!
Lesley S x
Hi Sue,
Another beautiful card! I love the color combination and the Cepheus Gemini die. Interesting way to use this die set. Thank you for the inspiration.
Pam -I wish you to enjoy your special day, relax and let yourself be spoiled, you deserve it!
Elaine – So sorry for Helen She’s going thru difficult days. Even you know what’s next; you are never ready for it.Hugs for all of you.
'P' in Wales – It‘s said that joyfulness keeps the heart and face young (so you won’t need a facial).:)
PP/Yvonne - It is true that you will be missed here, but I am very glad that you will take this time to rest and have fun. Have a safe trip. Enjoy your vacations! Don’t worry about Laine and I, we have each other, as noted by Pat.
Laine - Why on earth do you think I thought you were a smoker? :) I was trying to suggest another way of relaxation for you, beside the Caci ...facial. People smoke to calm their nerves...But for you, smoking is a waste of money; one cigarette won’t be enough to calm you down, not even a full pack.:) I haven’t withdrawn the invitation. Let's wait until next winter. I hope the Canadian cold will freeze your sharp tongue for some time. :)
Have a great weekend everyone,
Still a newbie to Craft / Not longer the newest and the only Canadian Wilsonette
Carmen
Another gorgeous design. Love the diagonal border you've created from the Cepheus die.
