Moroccan Rose and Striplet
Hi crafters! Today's video uses one of the Stamp To Die For range that matches the Bermuda die set. It will show you how to create dimension by layering up your sentiment.
The finished dimensions are 5 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Beautiful card Sue, really lovely. I hope you managed to have a relaxing time over the Bank Holuday. Sharon, my fingers are well and truly crossed for you when you get your results today, huge hug for you. Elaine, you and Maureen will be able to compare hubby notes and award points where necessary. I'm so glad Andrew and Helen are enjoying their break, so kind if their neighbour to help Andrew erect the awning. Saba, I can imagine how exhausted you will be, I imagine your grandson us worn out by his whirlwind if a nanny too. Hope the log burner us working soon for you. June, so much better for you to have a crafty companion with you, twice the fun. Barbara, your poor leg, hope it heals up soon for you. Alison, you too, hope the knee healed well. Kitty, whatever will we do without you, I hope the computer just keeps going. I have a three year old computer which I don't like so I go back to my old battered one each time. Laine, thank you for updating us on Yvonne, hope you are all well. Little lamb, your granddaughters are amazing, no wonder you are so proud. I'm echoing Myra, we do miss our missing friends, wish you were all back. Hugs to all, take care all of our poorly friends and their carers.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning card today, will watch the video later when hubby cooks my breakfast.
Pam I reiterate everything that you have said, and hope that the meds have kicked in for you and you are feeling better.
Maureen, oh you are a one, be careful and do as the medical people tell you, hope it is not too painful.
Got new conservatory furniture coming this morning, looking forward to that, then got to contact the doctors to see if my prescription for the diabetic meds has been signed off and I can go and collect from chemist, I am still waiting for this since last Wednesday.... just waiting for the dr. to authorise on line, why do these things take so long.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue. This is a gorgeous card. The stamped image is beautiful as is the colours. The flowers and striplet are stunning. Thanks for another great video. Have a great week everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Hello Sue and all Lovely card, the stamps look fabulous, specially your colouring- the striplet is beautiful too. My colouring in leaves so much to be desired. Hugs Muriel x
Morning Sue. This is such a pretty sample and I'm looking forward to watching the tutorial once I'm on my own for a quiet half hour or so. Sending you love n hugs and hope you have a nice day xx
Good morning Sue. Beautiful card and a fabulous video. I don't have any of the "ingredients" but you've got me thinking about how I can adapt using what I do have. Sharon, thinking of you today, good luck! Echoing Pam's comments, thanks Pam for putting everything so well. Hugs to all. Sue xxd
Good morning Sue this is a gorgeous card I love everything about it. I am looking forward to watching the video later when I get back from work today. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Good morning Sue and everyone Lovely card this morning not watched the video yet that will be a treat for later as I have to take hubby to a hospital appointment this morning Pam thank you for your daily round up on everyone and as usual I echo all your comments you are a star Hugs to all that need one Theresa G xx
Yes, this is so pretty! As Debra K so aptly expressed it, I, too, really like the sugared and non sugared stamping together. How many of us would have struggled to match the sugaring, too, when the raised section without glitter looks so much more raised and interesting.
And the flowers with a little edge of alcohol marker, spritzed and accordion-folded, who would have dreamed they'd come out so pretty!?!
My order from the April release finally arrived! In time for Mother's Day! Mother's Day in the U.S. is this Sunday. My mother isn't aware of anything, let alone a card, but my fiance's mom is so dear and always appreciates my best effort, even though I wish It could be more beautiful for her. Maybe I'll try today's flowers and striplets with perhaps the Samantha die as the focal element.
The ripples that radiate out from your pebble manage to go all around the world, getting magnified by all the people expressing love with your creativity. Thank you so much.
A lovely card today, Sue, love that striplet and of course the floral element. Pretty colouring too. Thanks as ever for the video. Izzy - setting up W10 no problem, it's just getting used to it once installed - to us, doesn't have the easy 'userability' of XP. Pam, echoing you again. You are irreplaceable - definitely wouldn't want a new version of you, you're the XP of the comment world!! Hugs all round.
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes, lovely card today and I love the Striplet as well im just waiting for mine to come, the stamping is lovely I have only just started stamping as I won a set on the giveaway so im practising at the moment.
Pam hope your feeling better, I miss my old computer these new one aren't built to last like they used to be that's for sure, will update and let you know what doctors say.
I reiterate all Pam says (your a star remembering eveyone) and send love and healing hugs to all that need them and also who are poorly
Hi Sue. This is such a pretty card. I really love the striplet die, but the best thing for me is how you did the flowers, I would never have guessed that you used that die to make them.
Good morning Sue, A beautiful card today & your stamps are always so crisp & clear when stamped. The striplet is is a perfect partner with the stamp. Yvonne xx
A beautiful card Sue and a great idea with the sentiment. I am suddenly an expert stamper as I've just bought a stamping platform, so maybe I'll be using my stamps more! Must try out your idea.
Lovely card, what a good idea to raise the greeting & the edge of the roses & then to match up with the rest of the stamp. Just wouldn't have thought to do that! The flowers take on a completely new identity done this way, must try that with my nasturtiums, just wouldn't have known it was the nasturtium die. Thank you Sue.
Good morning Sue Beautiful card and fabulous video! I love how you've matched the edge of the stamp to the rest, the flowers look gorgeous done in that way how many variations have you done using just this die set? It shows how versatile this set is. Hugs x Heather T
Good morning Sue What a beautiful card today, the layering of the stamping is beautiful and all the ladies with the new stamping platforms will manage this a treat. I had forgotten it was Tuesday today and I'm rushing out to the dentist for the start of a repair on a tooth that has decided I need to be poor! So I will watch the video on my return. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Pam as always echoing your comments and Sharon an extra hug for you too.xxxxx
Such a pretty card and perfectly showcases how useful your plain cutting edges are - and I know I've been banging on about that recently but that's one of the thoughtful additions to your die sets that makes them so versatile and so much more crafter-friendly than most of the other dies on the market...
Just got my Nasturtiums back from Sis so I shall be trying your scrunchy flowers!
P in Wales - thanks for the info, it's not actually setting up the new OS that bothers me it's whether my crafts CDs will be compatible - I have a couple that are invaluable, Serif for making my own background pps and another one with lots of fonts which I use for cobbling up my own personal sentiments and greetings and what's the betting that they won't play ball with Win10!...
Good Morning Sue. Such a lovely video. I love watching you work. You make it look so simple. A beautiful card with no effort. Thankyou Sue. Regards Ann Toppcards.
Hello Sue, Love the way you have done this card, with the stamping on the main card and the topper. It's so pretty and unusual. Pam, hope you are feeling much better and, as usual, echo all your comments. Diane, good luck at the dentist, hope it doesn't take too long or is too painful. Elaine and Sharon, good luck at the doctors. Donita, love your idea of Sue's ripples reaching out. Pat L, thinking of Sarah. PP and Laine, sending love and hope you are feeling much improved. Saba, did a man with a red flag walk in front of your car while you were driving? ha ha Maria, hope you are feeling much better. Myra, I remember Herbie, my mam told me about the films lol. love to all Maureen xxx
Another grey day here so your card has added a litle brightness to the morning. Love the flower created by scrunching the petals a technique I use quite a lot.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous Sue, what more can I say, I must look through my folders and see if I have this die and stamp, I know what I will have to do, catalogue what I have got and then I can see at a glance what I have, lol hugs from me to you all Johanna
Good morning wow what rich colours you have used o make such a beautiful and very elegant card, I love the way the rose is spread over the topper. I shall watch the video later when I have more time to concentrate! Pam as always echoing you post hope you are starting to feel better Diane hope your trip to the dentist is not toooo costly for you thinking of you. Maureen please do remember you have to be gjood no sneaking into your craft room without your frame or Myra will be coming to deal with you! You have been warned! Saba hope you are not too cold and the work goes well. With love Margaret xxx
Morning Sue and everyone. As you know I am a hearts flowers and butterflies girl also bling!! I love the way you matched the stamp to the beautiful flowers and the stripped Nesturshums. Love and best wishes to all who are I'll. I suffer from stress depression, anxiety and am recovering from strong cancer treatment so know how you feel. I will be thinking of you all with love xxxxxxxxxxx
Gorgeous, Sue. I love the way you have raised the greeting & the edge of the roses. I shall try this when I have watched the video- you make it all look so easy!!
Morning Sue, beautiful card and lovely stamp too. I will be absent for a few days as going to Barcelona with my daughter tomorrow. Love Jean from Wiltshire xxx
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes, I am keeping a promise i made to someone last week, so Myra you can't shout at me anymore. What a bonny card Sue but hey i like it when you have an overload of white but it's lovely with the little bit of colour in the topper as well. I like how you get your stamps for your dies made as it makes a nice change from die cut sentiments. Well you'll probably know that i don't have any of these ones but hey ho i have some others that i just need to get the stamps for the dies. Thank you Sue for a lovely bright and beautiful card. Well the other 8 renegades brighten up my world no end last Tuesday, wednesday and Thursday, it's just a pity that it ended much too quickly once more. Now i did offer our knackered one a shot of the buggy but she decided against it's high speeds and wheelies in case she fell off and broke the other hip as well. I ask you, if she can do that to herself, what would she do to her enemies? Never mind October will come around and we can be the merry band of 9 once more, that's always assuming no one else decides to do any damage to themselves. Since coming back what nice weather we have been having,although my lovely hills are looking through a chiffon vale of mist which hopefully will keep certain friends of going up them today. Why someone decides at 72 to start hill climbing is beyond me but hey whatever makes you happy. I was at my dear old friends funeral today, i had done her hair for 30 years, but she was lost when her lovely Robert went 6 years ago and she unfortunately never got over it. I'm waiting to see who my 3rd is going to be as that's two morning in succession i have woken up to that awful news so i have everything crossed that it sticks at the two as i have another funeral on Thursday for another friend. I'm getting this feeling of being an unlucky charm here. Anyway i will say bye for now and hugs to all my lovely Wilsonette friends Love and crafty Norah
Weyhey, our Norah is back, lovely to hear from you. So glad you enjoyed your meet up Norah. Now I know the day has just got better. So sorry to hear that you have lost 2 friends in quick succession. They were lucky to have you as their friend.
Hi Sue, a lovely card with your beautiful stamping and colouring. I do like it when you use the striplets as borders as it gives a different dimension to the card. The video is as clear and informative as ever thank you.
Norah - good to see you back but sorry you have lost friends in quick succession. Saba - hope you are getting warmer by the day. Sharon - fingers crossed that your results are good. Laine - did you run out of words yesterday? PPixie - I would ask for a new router or a refund for all the down-time and aggravation that you have had.
Hi Sue Thanks for the great video for this lovely card, I have the rippled striplet and it is beautiful but haven't used it like this
Norah lovely to have you back, sorry to hear you have lost two dear friends Pam echoing you as always and sending special hugs to Maureen, thank you both for thinking of Sarah Sharon hope all goes well at the doctors
What a colorful and cheerful card today. Love the layout and what you have done with your stamping so that it flows from the sentiment to the actual stamped image. The glitter adds just the right amount of sparkle
Hello Sue, I watched the video ages ago but seem to have been interrupted all day! Just one of those days! I really love this card! I love the white edge round the stamped image after it's been diecut - it's just so professional! You make things look easy but a great deal of thought goes into each detail! Love what you did with the sentiment too. The flowers are beautiful! It's a big hit with me! Maureen - you shouldn't tell fibs! Your nose will grow and you may trip over it! I suppose Black and White TV was before your time!! Norah - great to see you! I didn't shout at you , you monkey! I just wanted you " back where you belong!" Mind you that's Dolly not Norah - Maureen won't have heard of that either! Pam - echoing your kind words once again! It's a beautiful afternoon here today - hope it's nice where you are! Love to all, Myra xxx
Good evening Sue, I love the effect of today's card, brilliant, design, colouring and colours. Norah, great to see you commenting on Sue's Blog again. Pam, as always I echo you great summary. Patricia xxx
Hello Sue This is such a pretty card I haven't managed to watch the video yet something to look forward to later.Elaine and Sharon I hope the doctors went well.Norah it is lovely to see you back I love reading about your hills.Rosemary you are going through so much at the moment I hope Sues brilliant blog helps you through your dark moments.
Hi sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card sue x love the stamps and they always give me a lovely crisp image x shall watch the video tomorrow when I get some peace and quiet ! Norah so glad you are back x have really missed your hills xxx Donita such lovely words x Take care everyone x Theresa w xxx
Hi Sue These are such striking colours that make this whole card pop x I have quite a few of your stamps but really do not use them in such a way that shows them off in such a stunning way. I will watch the video later to inspire me - not had time yet x Well I have managed to get back on line after having another stint of no internet. I can honestly say that the first time round was frustrating but it was fine and I coped as best I could. When it happened again such a short time after the problem being sorted I was not a happy bunny!! After a lengthy conversation with the Customer Service Department I managed to negotiate a hefty discount so it's not all bad! I have friends who cannot live without access to the internet but my only genuine need for being online is our beloved Particraft. I did feel sorry for the poor man who had the misfortune of listening to my outburst expressing my intentions of closing our account unless their gesture of goodwill was a generous one! I don't think he would have been quite so understanding if I had told him that the reason I was so upset was that I had no idea who had won Wednesday's card and needed to know if our Pam was still in first place as our top dog. Not having my daily dose of Sue and Wilsonette banter is a necessity as far as I am concerned x I am popping to a friends shortly for a cuppa so will cut this short and catch up on the gossip in time for my comment tomorrow x Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone especially my blog besties x Take care Crafty hugs PP Yvonne x
What a totally stunning card, the colouring is, as always, fantastic and it really stands out against the crisp white card. I havent had the pleasure of watching the video yet but look forward to it immensely, thanks for all the effort you put in on our behalf, its much appreciated. Sending hugs to all my besties, particularly if you are ill, carers or just in need of a hug. Feeling rubbish at the moment, sorry for the brief comments just wanted to make sure Sue knows how much I appreciate her work. I'll be back up to speed soonxxx
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue, Very Late This Evening But I Couldn't Go To Bed (Busy Day) Without Saying I Love Today's Extremely Exquisite Card, Also Your Very Informative Video You Break Everything Down So Extremely Well It's Great As I Have These Products, Used For Today's Card. Thank You For Sharing Today's Masterpiece Sue, Take Great Care Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗 For Yourself Love From Sam xxx
Hi Sue. WOW !!! I absoulutely love your card today. It is stunning !!! I love your video to. You make it all look so easy. The stamp is so beautiful, and I love how you have coloured it in, especially with one layer covered in glitter and the other layer without the glitter. I think this creates such a wonderful contrast. Your Rippled Striplet die is so cute and on my huge long wish list. What a great way to make your Nasturtiums flowers look different to. I think they look really pretty using this technique. You have used the Spring Follage dies to, I have this die set and it is one of my favourites at the moment. Thanks for sharing. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
Hello Sue, What a gorgeous card and as always a brilliant video showing us how it was achieved. Such a pretty stamp and so beautifully coloured in. Thank you Sue for all your inspiration.
Sorry ladies but I'm going to have to brief. My lights keep flickering on and off and I think the power is going to go any moment, the joys of living in a fairly remote village! I have a candle at the ready but as yet Internet and candle power are not compatible! The workmen have been busy removing the old wood burning stove and radiators but my sitting room is a complete mess, no heating, no place to sit, no tv and to top it all a flying bird managed a direct hit down my new white trousers whilst having lunch in a beer garden today, goodness only knows what it had been eating! Laine sorry you are not feeling great, hope you feel better soon. Norah welcome back, you've been sorely missed. Love and hugs for all, Saba xxx
Hi Sue WOW WOW stunning card love your colouring the stamp is gorgeous so are The flowers Love everything about it. Video excellent. Thank you. Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xx
All your cards are beautiful. This one is no exception. Happy to see you using a stamp this time. Once again you showed how versatile all your dies and stamps are. This is what I love about your products, beside the design, of course. Thank you for the great video. It helps to see all the steps involved in creating this card, specially the way you made the raised sentiment. Also, you convinced me to try making bigger cards.
Pam - Thank you for being an early bird every morning remembering about everyone in your comments. June – Hope you got your meds. Elaine - Thinking of you today. How was the doctor appointment? Maureen - Your sense of humor is intact. So happy to have you back. Maria- Hugs and best wishes for you. PP – Welcome back. Laine – Miss your long and funny comments. Hope you feel better soon. A special hug for you.
Have a great day ladies, Still a newbie to Craft / Not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette Carmen
I am sorry for the late comment, seems nothing but doctors, hospital and being poked and prodded at the moment.
Sue this is really stunning, i love the die you have used on the sides and it gives such a beautiful look with that gorgeous stamp. Absolutely love this and one of my favourites.
Beautiful card Sue, really lovely. I hope you managed to have a relaxing time over the Bank Holuday.
ReplyDeleteSharon, my fingers are well and truly crossed for you when you get your results today, huge hug for you.
Elaine, you and Maureen will be able to compare hubby notes and award points where necessary. I'm so glad Andrew and Helen are enjoying their break, so kind if their neighbour to help Andrew erect the awning.
Saba, I can imagine how exhausted you will be, I imagine your grandson us worn out by his whirlwind if a nanny too. Hope the log burner us working soon for you.
June, so much better for you to have a crafty companion with you, twice the fun.
Barbara, your poor leg, hope it heals up soon for you. Alison, you too, hope the knee healed well.
Kitty, whatever will we do without you, I hope the computer just keeps going. I have a three year old computer which I don't like so I go back to my old battered one each time.
Laine, thank you for updating us on Yvonne, hope you are all well.
Little lamb, your granddaughters are amazing, no wonder you are so proud.
I'm echoing Myra, we do miss our missing friends, wish you were all back. Hugs to all, take care all of our poorly friends and their carers.

Elaine and Sharon, good luck at the doctors.
Donita, love your idea of Sue's ripples reaching out.
Pat L, thinking of Sarah.
PP and Laine, sending love and hope you are feeling much improved.
Saba, did a man with a red flag walk in front of your car while you were driving? ha ha
Maria, hope you are feeling much better.
Myra, I remember Herbie, my mam told me about the films lol.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother grey day here so your card has added a litle brightness to the morning. Love the flower created by scrunching the petals a technique I use quite a lot.
Regards
Heather R Oxfordshire
Lovely card, looking forward to watching the video.

Morning Sue, beautiful card and lovely stamp too. I will be absent for a few days as going to Barcelona with my daughter tomorrow. Love Jean from Wiltshire xxx
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteI am keeping a promise i made to someone last week, so Myra you can't shout at me anymore. What a bonny card Sue but hey i like it when you have an overload of white but it's lovely with the little bit of colour in the topper as well. I like how you get your stamps for your dies made as it makes a nice change from die cut sentiments. Well you'll probably know that i don't have any of these ones but hey ho i have some others that i just need to get the stamps for the dies. Thank you Sue for a lovely bright and beautiful card.
Well the other 8 renegades brighten up my world no end last Tuesday, wednesday and Thursday, it's just a pity that it ended much too quickly once more. Now i did offer our knackered one a shot of the buggy but she decided against it's high speeds and wheelies in case she fell off and broke the other hip as well. I ask you, if she can do that to herself, what would she do to her enemies? Never mind October will come around and we can be the merry band of 9 once more, that's always assuming no one else decides to do any damage to themselves. Since coming back what nice weather we have been having,although my lovely hills are looking through a chiffon vale of mist which hopefully will keep certain friends of going up them today. Why someone decides at 72 to start hill climbing is beyond me but hey whatever makes you happy. I was at my dear old friends funeral today, i had done her hair for 30 years, but she was lost when her lovely Robert went 6 years ago and she unfortunately never got over it. I'm waiting to see who my 3rd is going to be as that's two morning in succession i have woken up to that awful news so i have everything crossed that it sticks at the two as i have another funeral on Thursday for another friend. I'm getting this feeling of being an unlucky charm here. Anyway i will say bye for now and hugs to all my lovely Wilsonette friends
Love and crafty
Norah
Weyhey, our Norah is back, lovely to hear from you. So glad you enjoyed your meet up Norah. Now I know the day has just got better. So sorry to hear that you have lost 2 friends in quick succession. They were lucky to have you as their friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a lovely card with your beautiful stamping and colouring. I do like it when you use the striplets as borders as it gives a different dimension to the card. The video is as clear and informative as ever thank you.
ReplyDeleteNorah - good to see you back but sorry you have lost friends in quick succession.
Saba - hope you are getting warmer by the day.
Sharon - fingers crossed that your results are good.
Laine - did you run out of words yesterday?
PPixie - I would ask for a new router or a refund for all the down-time and aggravation that you have had.
Frances
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great video for this lovely card, I have the rippled striplet and it is beautiful but haven't used it like this
Norah lovely to have you back, sorry to hear you have lost two dear friends
Pam echoing you as always and sending special hugs to Maureen, thank you both for thinking of Sarah
Sharon hope all goes well at the doctors
Love and hugs to everyone

ReplyDeleteThank you Sue for another stunning card - love the sparkly detail and colours too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Sue!
ReplyDeleteLove your matching stamps, very pretty.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful and cheerful card today. Love the layout and what you have done with your stamping so that it flows from the sentiment to the actual stamped image. The glitter adds just the right amount of sparkle
Hope that everyone has a lovely day.
Beverly from Maryland, USA
Oh! Love this stunning card! Sparkle, beautiful coloring and lovely die cuts add up to a breathtaking card! TFS!
ReplyDeletePretty and colourful and once again your flowers take centre stage for me....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, great video too
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI watched the video ages ago but seem to have been interrupted all day! Just one of those days! I really love this card! I love the white edge round the stamped image after it's been diecut - it's just so professional! You make things look easy but a great deal of thought goes into each detail! Love what you did with the sentiment too. The flowers are beautiful! It's a big hit with me!
Maureen - you shouldn't tell fibs! Your nose will grow and you may trip over it! I suppose Black and White TV was before your time!!
Norah - great to see you! I didn't shout at you , you monkey! I just wanted you " back where you belong!" Mind you that's Dolly not Norah - Maureen won't have heard of that either!
Pam - echoing your kind words once again!
It's a beautiful afternoon here today - hope it's nice where you are!
Love to all, Myra xxx
Good evening Sue,

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThese are such striking colours that make this whole card pop x
I have quite a few of your stamps but really do not use them in such a way that shows them off in such a stunning way. I will watch the video later to inspire me - not had time yet x
Well I have managed to get back on line after having another stint of no internet. I can honestly say that the first time round was frustrating but it was fine and I coped as best I could. When it happened again such a short time after the problem being sorted I was not a happy bunny!!
After a lengthy conversation with the Customer Service Department I managed to negotiate a hefty discount so it's not all bad!
I have friends who cannot live without access to the internet but my only genuine need for being online is our beloved Particraft.
I did feel sorry for the poor man who had the misfortune of listening to my outburst expressing my intentions of closing our account unless their gesture of goodwill was a generous one! I don't think he would have been quite so understanding if I had told him that the reason I was so upset was that I had no idea who had won Wednesday's card and needed to know if our Pam was still in first place as our top dog. Not having my daily dose of Sue and Wilsonette banter is a necessity as far as I am concerned x
I am popping to a friends shortly for a cuppa so will cut this short and catch up on the gossip in time for my comment tomorrow x
Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone especially my blog besties x
Take care

Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteLovely Card. I think this is so pretty. I love the Rippled Striplet die and how you have layered everything. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
This is proof that the stamps are just as important as the dies.xx
ReplyDeleteReally pretty. Love the way you have done the flowers. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue Lovely card & video the stamp is so pretty 7 I love the way you used the striplet to add interest at the sides its all gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSending good wishes to all
Lovely card. Love the striplets for background and great colours.
ReplyDeleteGood evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteWhat a totally stunning card, the colouring is, as always, fantastic and it really stands out against the crisp white card. I havent had the pleasure of watching the video yet but look forward to it immensely, thanks for all the effort you put in on our behalf, its much appreciated.
Sending hugs to all my besties, particularly if you are ill, carers or just in need of a hug. Feeling rubbish at the moment, sorry for the brief comments just wanted to make sure Sue knows how much I appreciate her work.
I'll be back up to speed soonxxx

Hi Sue. WOW !!! I absoulutely love your card today. It is stunning !!! I love your video to. You make it all look so easy. The stamp is so beautiful, and I love how you have coloured it in, especially with one layer covered in glitter and the other layer without the glitter. I think this creates such a wonderful contrast. Your Rippled Striplet die is so cute and on my huge long wish list. What a great way to make your Nasturtiums flowers look different to. I think they look really pretty using this technique. You have used the Spring Follage dies to, I have this die set and it is one of my favourites at the moment. Thanks for sharing. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card and as always a brilliant video showing us how it was achieved. Such a pretty stamp and so beautifully coloured in. Thank you Sue for all your inspiration.
Sorry ladies but I'm going to have to brief. My lights keep flickering on and off and I think the power is going to go any moment, the joys of living in a fairly remote village! I have a candle at the ready but as yet Internet and candle power are not compatible!
The workmen have been busy removing the old wood burning stove and radiators but my sitting room is a complete mess, no heating, no place to sit, no tv and to top it all a flying bird managed a direct hit down my new white trousers whilst having lunch in a beer garden today, goodness only knows what it had been eating!
Laine sorry you are not feeling great, hope you feel better soon.
Norah welcome back, you've been sorely missed.
Love and hugs for all,
Saba xxx
Such a lovely card Sue, love the accents with the striplet.

This is so pretty! I love the stamping and colors. That striplet is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAll your cards are beautiful. This one is no exception. Happy to see you using a stamp this time. Once again you showed how versatile all your dies and stamps are. This is what I love about your products, beside the design, of course. Thank you for the great video. It helps to see all the steps involved in creating this card, specially the way you made the raised sentiment. Also, you convinced me to try making bigger cards.
Pam - Thank you for being an early bird every morning remembering about everyone in your comments.
June – Hope you got your meds.
Elaine - Thinking of you today. How was the doctor appointment?
Maureen - Your sense of humor is intact. So happy to have you back.
Maria- Hugs and best wishes for you.
PP – Welcome back.
Laine – Miss your long and funny comments. Hope you feel better soon. A special hug for you.
Have a great day ladies,
