Such a gorgeous card, lovely. I splurged out on some of your beautiful new dies so am just awaiting my delivery..
Congratulations to Latenight Sandy, enjoy your beautiful card.
PAT I hope Sarah's visit went well at GOSH, what an amazing little girl, brilliant fundraising to, no wonder you are so proud of her.
Elaine, glad Andrew was well enough to resume treatment, he was there a very long time, hope he tolerates this one better. I hope you get your back sorted soon. Take care my friend.
Rosemary, I'm so sorry to hear what you And your uncle are going through, I too have a family history like yours,both parents, a brother, grandparents, my beloved husband, it is a cruel disease. You will find lots of support and kindness on this blog, they are amazing.
Lorraine, my friend has fibromyalgia, so I know how you feel. She says she just has to do what her body tells her and rest when necessary. Gentle hugs to support you.
Rosemarie, your die win was a perfect choice for you to remind you of your mum. I too have ordered that die.
Carmen, our Charity team at work has been contacted by a teacher who goes to help Romanian children every Juky, we are now knitting hats for them to help keep them warm. It's a short time span but we should get a couple of hundred done, starting mine this weekend.
Gang of Nine, you have all had a brilliant time, given us so much pleasure, and even our Maureen as she had visit from Diane and all your messages too. You are all a stunning bunch of ladies.
Have a lovely weekend everyone, enjoy the Bank Holiday, Cheryl, hope your friends visit brings you so much pleasure. Hugs to all, remembering our missing and poorly friends, also the Carers of their families.

Hi Sue
A fabulously fun card today this really appeals to me with some many men in my family.
Regards
Heather R Oxfordshire
Morning Sue, I love this !! I will be giving this a try !! I have been trying out the hand sanitizer technique with the fishbowl and cat card, but I'm having great difficulty haha !! I think I put a bit too much hand stuff in my first try and it is squelching up to the edge where the glue is, I am now trying my second attempt with not as much hand stuff in, my fingers are crossed, I will be using up all my treat cups at this rate hahahaha. The card is for a friend's birthday on 8th May and I'm thinking of trying this for my Brother in Law who has his 70th birthday on the same day. I will be watching the video intently as I can't remember how you affixed the porthole door when I saw you do a similar card on tv.
Congratulations to the card Winner, enjoy !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Great card Sue, great for the sailors in our lives xx
Hi Sue a great card love the opening porthole will watch video later

Lesley S x
Wow Sue! Love how the porthole opens.
Great male card Sue love from Jackie xx
Fantastic card I love how the porthole actually opens
Hello Sue,
Where has the week gone?
This is a super card for the right person but unfortunately apart from Saba I don't have anyone for whom I would make cards like this. It doesn't stop me admiring them and your ingenuity in thinking of them though! I think it would make a great Bon Voyage card. Saba is a sailor but she loves pink and flowers so I'm ok!!
Someone asked what we bought while away! Quite a variety of things, cardigans, trousers, skirt, Molton Brown products, tops, a few Dies , paper pads , shoes, and cuddly toy!!, no the last one is a fib I just thought it was like being on the Generation Game!
Carmen - you probably don't know about the Generation Game - it was a Game Show on TV a long time ago!
Congratulations Atenight Sandy!
Welcome Rosemary to a lovely blog!
Thanks again Pam - hope you are lots better!
Love to all, Myra xxx
PS - Saba has hired some wheels! Look out Yorkshire! X
Hi Sue
Fabulous card! I have this die so will be having a go at this one! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to Latenight Sandy H.
Hugs.
Such a fantastic and fun natucial card. Sue, you are so clever to design this porthole that actually opens! Thank you for the great video. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Brilliant card!
Hi Sue
A lovely card today. Love your nautical ca Drs. Congratulations to the comment winner.
Hi Sue, this is a brilliantly clever card, I love it. Suitable for any old sea-dog or budding young sailor but also good for ladies. My mum was a Sea Ranger over 70 years ago and would have loved something like this and my friend's niece is in the Royal Navy and would also appreciate this.
Latenight Sandy - Congratulations on being this week's Wednesday Winner. Enjoy your gorgeous card.
Wishing everyone a good Bank Holiday week-end.
Frances
Hi Sue
Thanks for the great video showcasing this lovely nautical card with the opening porthole no less. I topped up on necessary creative expressions products at the craft fair yesterday, got gold and silver gilding flakes, gilding polish in silver and enchanted gold, diamond sprinkles and dries clear glue also treated myself to your butterfly stained glass and the olive branch dies, a good days shopping.
Congratulations to latenight Sandy on winning Wednesday's gorgeous card
Pam hope you're feeling better and echoing your comments, you do it so well.
Sarah's appointment was a waste of time, there was supposed to be a multidisciplinary meeting after her last appointment to review her treatment but it never happened so we are no further on. The only good news is the X-rays showed that the scoliosis hasn't got worse in the last six months.
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Hi Sue.
A lovely card Thank you.
Congratulations to latenight Sandy.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Just A Quick Comment As It's Been A Extremely Busy Day With One Thing/Another
I've Been Playing With My New "Tim Holtz Stamp Platform" Its Just Tremendous
Than You For The Fantastic Card, Stupendous Video Tutorial, I Think This Card Is Great For Male/Female
Some Friends Of Mine Always Go On Cruise Holidays So This Card Is Just So Suitable Also
It's Her Birthday While She's Away, I Would Use A World Map For Background Also Use Colour Cloud
To Add Colour To Make It Look Old, Maybe I Could Find A Map With "Mauritius" On It Lol.........
Sue Thank You For Sharing Today's Extremely Exquisite Card Also Your Wonderful Video
You Inspire Me Each Day, I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do Thank You So Very Much.
Sue, Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather
Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗 For Yourself

Hi Sue,

Great male card.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, great card, not one I would make personally but I can appreciate the beauty of it.

Fab card and something a bit quirky... just love it..
This is one very different and interesting card today, Sue you never fail to amaze with the variety and the diversity of your cards.
Our Saba will love today's card being a sailor herself. She is one amazing lady and never fails to keep us all entertained on our meet ups with her stories of sailing the high seas!
Pam may I echo your comments today please, you have such a unique way of summarising all our comments thank you.
Have a lovely holiday weekend everyone.
With love

Sue this is lovely, I think its so fun.xx
Hello Sue,
What a great card today, I know quite a few people who would really love this, both male and female.
Pam, hope you are feeling much better and, as usual, you have managed to say everything which needs saying.
Pat L, oh what a disappointment and how awful that Sarah and her parents travelled all the way to London unnecessarily, but I'm pleased that you had good news with the xray results.
Theresa, how great that you've mastered another technique.
Elaine, thinking of you and all your family,
Congratulations to Latenight Sandy, enjoy your card.
Laine, I hope you are feeling much better and will soon be up to sparring with PP. I had a phone call from her yesterday. Oh my dear, I couldn't get shot of her and had to pretend I was pleased to hear from her!!!
PP, how lovely of you to ring me yesterday ha ha. You know I don't mean what I say to Laine, I just like to keep her sweet. Two faced - me - never, more like 50 faced lol. Does Carmen know what you two are really like? ha ha
Myra, please explain the Generation Game to me, it was obviously years before my time!! ha ha
love to all xxxx
Hi Sue Lovely card i have yet to get these dies! but they are on my list lol x
Thanks Helen Terry xxx
I'm new to card making and you make this look so easy. Just have to get all the dies etc. but would love to have a go. Thank you for such a clear video.

A really fun card.x
Hi Sue. WOW !!! What a fabulous card today !!! I have had a busy day so I will watch your video tomorrow now, when I have more time to myself and I can concentrate better. I bought your Nautical Dies recently but have not yet had the chance to play. I would love to have a try at making my own version of your fab card. Especially as I have to make two Fathers Day cards within the next few weeks. At the moment I am making a Get Well Soon card, a 1st Birthday card, four Birthday cards for four of my aunties and two 21st Birthday cards !!! Oh and not forgetting a special 70th Birthday card for my special Auntie who's party I have to go to !!! So I am going to be busy for a while. I absolutely love your card today. Thank you. Sending lots of love and hugs to you Sue from Tres x x x

Hi Sue

Hugs to all

Hi Sue,
What a beautiful surprise! It’s a lifesaver for so many of us who have hard time finding a theme for a male card.Love the design, the colors, the set dies and the opening porthole is a lovely touch.Thank you for sharing,for the inspiration and great video.
Latenight Sandy H - Congratulations!
Pam – So nice of you and your Charity team to help Romanian children. People like you and your co-workers make a difference in so many people’s lives. Please send my thanks to the rest of your team! Special hugs to you and your wonderful Charity team.
Rosemary Gladstone – I am new to card making, too. Sue’s videos are amazing! She makes things so clear and I learnt so much from each tutorial. OK, it is different story when you try to do it by yourself, but for sure you’ll have fun. Good luck!
Elaine – Hope Andrew and Helen will have a good time. Sending my daily hugs to you all.
Maria, ‘P’ in Wales- My dear ladies, I had no doubt that you read my short or long comments and sometimes you were amused by my jokes at Laine and PP. As you can see, they both left me, but who needs them when I have you two, Myra, Maureen, Saba and of course Pam plus the rest of Wilsonettes :)
Myra – Yes, Generation Game was too long ago, as Maureen said it was years before my time :), but I checked on the net to have an idea ... funny games.
Maureen – Did PP call you? Oh dear, poor you, what you had to endure. Are you up for the next shock, a phone call from Laine, maybe? Do you know what these two have in common, beside the fact that both believe to be Sue’s favorite (let them dream about it)? Both have long claws and good jokes ha ha ha
Laine, PP – Hope both of you are OK and I don’t miss you ... at all.
Have a great Sunday ladies,
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette
Carmen
First of all, super card today and just when I needed some inspiration for a male card.
I can hardly contain myself at the moment. I've had a busy day and was popping by before going to bed and see that I've won this week's card giveaway. Thank you, so much, Sue. I'll have to get the duster out in my craft room tomorrow. I'm so excited I can't go to bed until I've calmed down a bit. Thanks ladies for your congratulations.
Take care everyone.
Great card.
I love this card. I have always been fastinated by cards that do things.
Hello Sue,
What a delightful and fun card. I love the nautical theme and all the elements pertaining to it. The fact that you can open the porthole is pure genius. Great card for anyone who loves boating and the sea as well as males.
Congratulations to Sandy on winning the card giveaway.
Beverly from Maryland, USA.
