Good Sunday morning all! I am away at Ally Pally this weekend so there isn't a Comment game winner list to post until I return, but I found this pretty card in one of my files so I hope you will be okay with this until I get a chance to post the winners. I started with a piece of
milk card and embossed it with the
Butterfly Dreams embossing folder. I have to admit that it didn't end up showing through as much as I thought it would so this could easily be skipped if desired. Next I cut the
Mauritius die twice out of
Antique Gold card and cut them in half. I glued the cut edges of the die to the outside edges of my embossed piece, slightly overlapping at the corners. I added a faux frame to it, but cutting strips of black card and gluing them to the edge of the card. I stamped my sentiment and cut the centre die from the
Charlotte die set to add a decorative frame to it. I used the
Double Pierced Noble Circles to add a matching pierced black mat and seated it in the centre of the card. I completed the card with milk, black and antique gold card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue, such a beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear from the AP visitors thst you aren't feeling too well, please take care of yourself, you need to rest more.
June, hope you had a good day both at AP and your other commitment too.
Elaine, glad the doctor was able to help Helen, hope she sees some improvement soon.
It was lovely to read the comments from the AP ladies, it seems a good day was had by all. Fir those that are going today, you will be in for a treat.
I only saw a couple of shows on Hochanda, spent most of weekend in bed with a chest infection, so dizzy and unable to stand so feeling very sorry for myself.
Hope everyone is well, hugs to all, especially our missing and poorly friends, guess I come under that this weekend.
Beautiful and elegant card.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will soon feel a lot better.
A Lovely card Thank you.
Pam I hope you too will soon be feeling better.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Sue hope you are feeling better and we are not wearing you out. You are very precious to us so please take care. This is one of my favourite dies and is so versatile, lovely card. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteElegant colors and details!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can describe how I see this sample to compliment it enough as my usual - beautiful, gorgeous etc are not enough. I just sat and smiled as it loaded onto my phone. What I didn't smile at was hearing that you wasn't well. It's not often we hear if this news Sue so I hope today brings a better day for you, it must be so hard to spend all weekend meeting and greeting, doing demo's etc and not let it show but knowing you a little as we do via listening to you and watching you, you'd probably 'brush off' how you really feel !! But just in case you're feeling really yak today I'm sending lots of love n hugs and hope you feel a little better and hope you can either start and rest soon or are off non one of your lovely well deserved holidays ☺
ReplyDeleteThinking of you lovely lady xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card it looks so much like antique gold lace. Love it. Sorry your not feeling well do take care.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way of using the Mauritius die, showing off it's versatility. How you have used it today changes the whole look of the die. I can visualize it with Diamond Sprinkles.
Sorry to hear you're not feeling up to par, do hope you improve quickly.
Beverly
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you have been unwell, perhaps you have been working too hard. Such a lovely card today, very elegant and I love the way you have used these dies again, just ingenious. I hope everyone going to Ally Pally has a wonderful day.

Morning Sue. A very elegant card with rich colours of card. Could be for a special occasion or just a very special thank you card. Hope you had a lovely time yesterday but sorry to hear you are not well. Please take special care of yourself today as there is nothing worse than having to meet & greet people and do all your demos when you are feeling under the weather. Hope you get to have some R&R when this weekend is over or get to have a lovely holiday and just relax and spoil yourself. Take care Sue.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card today, milk gold and black are my favourite colours and the Mauritius die is lovely. Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly, I know people will understand if you relax and don't demo, after all we are all human and all have off days. Look after yourself and get plenty of rest next week. Take care
Love Diane G xxx
Pam sorry to hear you are poorly too, you look after yourself and keep warm and snug. Xxx
Hope everyone going to Ally Pally today has fun xxx
Hi Sue - a gorgeous card in complimentary colours. I bought the milk colour card yesterday at AP as it was such a pretty delicate shade and it goes perfectly with the gold. I hope you feel so much better today Sue - I would never have known you weren't feeling great yesterday, you hid it so well. It must have felt a very long day for you. Your cards looked spectacular and your demonstrations were amazing - just wish I hadn't been pushed for time and could have stayed longer. Sending you my very best wishes and hope you feel far better today. Love from

ReplyDeleteLike everyone, upset to hear you're not feeling great but guess you put on a happy face for all your fans. Another busy day, then soon it's the shows on Hochanda - perhaps some R&R after that? You never fail us, no matter what, but we'd all understand if you needed a break, or indeed had to take one. Just feel so fortunate in having your blog.
ReplyDeletePam, you too take care, sorry you're poorly again.

ReplyDeleteCatherine
Dear Sue and All in Your Thrall,
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us fed even when you have big productions to put on. Maybe they will let you sit down for your demos, or take part of the afternoon off, or both, or the whole day off. Might be worth preventing a longer illness.
Same with you, Pam. Rest, rest, rest, and rest a little more.
We don't want either of you pushing it until you come down with something serious.
Yes your fans will be disappointed, but you give so much. We could give a little, too.
Thank you for the beautiful card.
Love,
Donita
Beautiful card
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother sample of your clever cutting and using one of my favourite dies, the lovely Mauritius and one of my all-time favourite colour combos when I need a classy card for someone special...so this card is right up my street....tfs
Hope you're feeling better today...
Pam - hope you're better today too - probably the office musical chairs exercise didn't help either....lol

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today. I'm sorry to hear that you weren't very well yesterday and do hope that you are feeling better today. You will have to have a break after AP as you never seem to stop. Take care and hopefully enjoy AP. Love and hugs Alison xc
GM Sue. Classy card. Love it. Great to see you at AP yday. I came past your stand three times after we said a brief hello but it was always busy with Wilsonettes looking at your fab demos. I enjoyed the show. Lots to see, do and buy! Hope you have a great day today also.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all

Hi Sue, Lovely to see you yesterday, hope you will soon be feeling better. I love this card, yet another idea for use with your dies, you are such an inspiration. get well soon Valerie
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful card for today, fantastic.
ReplyDeleteIt was such a pleasure as always to see you again at Ally Pally, as I am disabled I managed to get in at 9:30 (1st one through the doors) so was able to come and see you first for a quick chat before the main body of crafters arrived,m it was lovely to hear about your New Zealand cruise. It was such a shame that you are feeling poorly, as always whenever I passed your stand you were chatting and demoing all the time, the advice and inspiration you give to others knows no bounds, nothing is too much trouble, I am proud to call you my friend.
Pam, now what have you been up to, chest infections come on very quickly as we both know, you know what to do, take care and if necessary get to the Drs. tomorrow or ring MEDOC (not sure if you have that were you live but it is a service which advice over the phone and if necessary get you into another Drs. pronto) and they will help you. Take care my friend.
I was only able to stay for an hour at AP but if you have not seen them yet, Sue had her new Dies and stamps etc. for sale, they were going like hot cakes, so lovely to see.
Special hugs to everyone who needs them especially Elaine, Andrew and Helen, hope you get the help you need.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue, lovely elegant card using the Mauritius die which is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that you weren't very well yesterday, hope you are feeling a little better today.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteLike everyone else I was very sorry to hear you were unwell. I do hope this weekend doesn't take too much out of you! It's hard enough when feeling 100% I would imagine! Please take care of yourself. Sending hugs and thanks for all your kindnesses!
I , too, love today's card and it does look so rich and opulent without being in any way over the top! That's kind of hard to achieve , I think!
I was really brief yesterday as had migraine so being on iPad wasn't a good idea!
Everyone seems to have enjoyed Ally Pally! I've watched a couple of the Hochanda Shows - Julia's and Phillis on catch-up! Looking forward to John's Show at 2pm!
Love to everyone! Wheely - you are such a Star . Just read your comment this morning!
Pam - sorry your aren't well either! Patricia and Jess are under the weather too!!
It's another lovely day - enjoy it if you possibly can.
Beverley Fuchs - I totally agree 3000 miles is a little to far to come to Ally Pally! I thought around 200 miles was too far !!!
Love Myra xx
Hope you have a great time at Ally Pally! This is a very pretty card! I ❤️ the gold card Stock! Will be waiting when you get the chance to announce the comment winners!
ReplyDeleteHugs and hopes that you have a wonderful time!
Hi sue and crafters.
ReplyDeleteGeorgeous card sue great colour combo too. One of my favourites. Hope u get some rest after ally pally as I hear ur under the weather but being the trouper u are continue to craft throughout the day.
Hope everyone has a good day xx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell what a wonderfully opulent card I find to greet me on my return after my holiday in the Isle of Wight (with an annoying absence of Wi-Fi)!
I have missed the blog and was very worried that I would miss the blogathon featuring your amazing spectacular stunningly extraordinary new launch - so happy it is still looming and I will be able to savour every moment with admiration and pure joy x
I am at present wading my way through unpacking and a huge mountain of washing. Thank goodness for the beeeyoootiful weather. The sunshine is on hand to dry my heavily fabric softened laundry and it is smelling divine - small pleasures x
To everyone who is 'ally-pallying' this weekend (well jeal), you are so lucky. I hope you have had a fabulous time - and let's face it - how could you not??!!
I am planning a session of comment and card catch up this evening so I am up to speed with everything x
Happy thoughts and oodles of love to everyone especially all my blog besties - you know who you are x
Take care

SO PLEASED TO BE BACK ON THIS FANTABULOUS BLOG x
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card, made using one of my favourite dies in such an ingenious manner. And I shall adopt the "faux frame" technique, if you don't mind. Saves SO much card and gets rid of the strips which I'm accumulating all over the crafty den.
Enjoy your Ally Pally day, it looked busy there on Saturday....
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue and all Wilsonetts
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful card for the day Sue love this colour combo it works so so well
Sorry to read that you are not feeling well Sue and I wish you a speedy recovery from whatever it is that ails you. Hugs 🤗
Ohh Pam you too. I do hope you can get on top of you chest infection doctors appointment on the cards me thinks. Soon as you can eh xx
June I was well jealous of your visit to AP I know Sue is more than happy to chat to and help all her followers the new dies look just as wonderful as they always do I have to say i have pre ordered some naughty step beckons lol
Special hugs to Helen, Andrew and Elaine chin up you guys. xx
Nice to see a few old faces back on the blog

Hi Sue, love milk and antique gold together it is such an elegant match. The Mauritius die is lovely and this card shows it off beautifully. I was sorry to learn that you were feeling below par yesterday but carried on regardless, you are such a trooper. I hope you are feeling brighter today but please take care of yourself.
ReplyDeletePP - Welcome home!
WheelyBad - I was sure that I left a comment for you yesterday but it is not there so I guess I must have had a senior moment. Sorry for Mr W but his spirit is great and there will be something for him soon I'm sure. Glad you had a nice walk in the sunshine with Billy, good for both of you I should think. Really hoping that the doctors can help you now that you have had some psych sessions. It is a disgrace that some doctors don't listen when you discuss medication, my sister has the same problem. Hope you continue to improve.
Pam - pleasse look after yourself, these chest infections are becoming too frequent. As Izzy said, the office musical chairs probably haven't helped.
I am jealous of all those that have lovely sunshine today, enjoy! It is very dull and overcast here and Norah's hills are semi-shrouded in low cloud but at least the breeze is helping to dry the washing.

Hi Sue so glad that you found this card in you files as it's beautiful, and deserves its day in the sun.

Beautiful card Sue. Thank you for sharing this with us. Beautiful day today but think the pollen is high. Cannot stop coughing. Did comment last night about Sue not feeling too well. Pam. Patricia and Jess sorry to hear you are all not feeling too good. Take care. Echoing Pam's comments.
ReplyDeletePretty card. Like the structure.
ReplyDeleteHope your drive home was as fast as ours was and you are now relaxing after this long busy weekend
Teresa
Gorgeous card today and such a clever use of the Mauritius die, love it. I don't think I've seen you make a faux frame before, something I would never have thought of doing but will definitely try. I would have loved to have been at Ally Pally but so very sorry to hear you were not feeling well though. I hope you can get some rest and soon feel fit and well again. You work far too hard Sue.
ReplyDeletePam so sorry to hear you are feeling unwell too, hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
Littlelamb sending you get well wishes too, so many coughs and colds going round, both Patricia and Jess are suffering and poor Myra's cough is still bothering her, I'm keeping well away from the lot of you!
It's been an exhausting couple of days for me, the Party went really well and yes there was a lot of prosting going on but it very late when we finally got away and the clearing up the day after was hard work. I'm flying out tomorrow morning for my UK visit, bags are packed ( plenty of space left for crafting goodies to bring home), alarm clock set and bed for me very soon.
I hope everyone who managed to go to Ally Pally had a wonderful time.
Love and hugs for all especially our poorly ones.

Totally vintage!! Lovely card Sue. Xx

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card again today Sue. Very elegant. Hope you'll soon be feeling better.
ReplyDeletePam, hope your chest improves quickly. It's no fun getting such frequent chest infections.

Hi Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteSorry it's late, worn out from yesterday. This card is lovely. There's that Mauritius die again.
It was great to see you again Sue yesterday in your element helping everyone who came to your table. So sorry you have not been well. I said that you looked well and that you had lost weight. Little did I know you had been and were still poorly. You were a real,trooper though, you had many including me foooled. Would love to hear about your recent travels, sounds lovely, apart from being unwell obviously. I am still amazed that you can remember who everyone is, myself included.
Pam, sorry to hear you're not well. I hope you feel better soon.
Maria I am so sorry I missed you. I was looking for you, but didn't know what you looked liked. I managed to say hello to Sandra again but it was late and she told me you had left. I hope you had a good time. Yes perhaps we could try again in September! I didn't really enjoy it yesterday, but it was only because I was in pain and frustrated by my shoulder. I took your advice and wore my sling, but I still got barged into quite a lot. So I felt a bit sorry for myself. I didn't get there as early as I'd have liked either because I didn't realise the buses didn't start running until 7. More frustration at not being able to drive as I usually park at the station. I bought an embossing folder and some gilding polish and a few gems and stamps. Not as much as normal, but I would have struggled to carry more anyway. With hindsight, I should have probably waited until September. It was a bit much for me really. However, seeing Sues samples was great, especially the ones using the new dies.
I'm sorry I've not read everyone's posts properly yet. I hope all who went yesterday and today had a great time and bought lots of goodies, and those that didn't enjoyed the shows. I have them to catch up on too.
Sorry for long post.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you aren't feeling too well. I really hope you will soon feel better. Just sending a little get-well sunshine your way because you’re always a bright spot in our days.
Very elegant card today. I love the colours and the way you have used the dies.
Pam - Sorry to hear you're not well. Maybe you should see the doctor. I hope you feel better soon.
June – Glad you got to AP and had a good time.
Elaine - Sending hugs to you all.
Maria – What are trying to do? Where did you get the idea that Laine is my friend? :)You know how miserable Laine felt without PP.:)I just couldn’t pour more salt on her wounds ... But friends?:)
That makes two of us? Maybe we’ll have a nice surprise and find out that another Canadian joined the club?!
PP/ Yvonne – Welcome back! Hope you enjoyed your vacation. Somebody missed you more than you think. You know who :)
Laine – Time for you to come back.
Everyone seems to have enjoyed Ally Pally! Maybe I’ll join you in September!
Lovely day here: nice weather, great time with my 2 favorite men ... It was my son b-day but since he started exams (he had already one on Friday and one on Saturday, 3 more to go) we took him out for lunch only. The cake and champagne will follow in 2 weeks, when he’s coming home.
Have a great week everyone!

ReplyDeleteAt first I was put off by the colour of the card which did not appeal. However, it is worth looking a little closer at the elements and thinking about how I would apply these in a different colour.
Thanks for the ideas
