Hello bloggers! Teal, white and black are the colours for today's card giveaway! I started with a piece of coconut white card and used the decorative die from the Rippled Striplet to cut the design into each side of the card. I backed it with another piece of white card for a tone on tone look to the background. Next I used the same die on a smaller piece of coconut white card and cut the design side b side. I backed it with teal card, then added a thin black mat. I added mounting foam to the back and attached it down the centre of the background. Using the inside frame from the Bermuda, I cut it out of teal card and backed it in white and cut the centre out to create a frame. I added mounting foam to the thin edge to raise it. I stamped my sentiment, then added a decorative frame using the centre of the Bermuda die. I added the teal frame over it and seated it in the centre of the striplets. I made three teal flowers out of the Striped Nasturtium die set and used the outline in black on top of each of them. I seated the flowers around the sentiment with a black satin ribbon bow and matching stick pins. White, teal and black mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. Leave a comment if you would like to be entered into the drawing to win this card. The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x PS We still have two unclaimed dies from the drawing last week, please check the list that was posted on April 27th to see if it was you!

Such a beautiful card for the Wednesday Giveaway, someone will have a treasure.
June, hope the conservatory furniture was delivered intact and that your meds were available.
Laine, sorry to hear you are not feeling good, hope you feel better soon.
Elaine, what did doc have to say.
Yvonne, glad you are back in the Internet world, good negotiations .
Saba, they do say a bird leaving you a gift is lucky but not on your white trousers. Hope you soon get your cottage sorted, it sounds cold and uncomfortable at the moment.
Rosemary, I hope the blog ladies can provide you with some support and comfort. Such a lot of us have experienced the caring comfort from them and are happy to help others.
Sharon, thinking of you, hoping the results were good.
As always, my daily hugs fior all, especially our poorly and missing friends, their carers and long suffering hubbies, George and John.
So happy to see Nirahs post yesterday Yahhhhh
Gorgeous colors and embellishments!
Morning Sue. I'm feeling terribly guilty when I see your beautiful samples and those on the fb group made with all the gorgeous striplet dies as I can't remember the last time I treated myself or was treated to one of these little beauties I think the last I bought was the Meadow Striplet !! That's a blast from the past I do have a few but none that are recent (although they are on the gift list) off to do some supply shopping later I think so I'll see what my little shop has in stock ☺ after all there are some beautiful Striplets and you've made the most gorgeous sample to part with this week, the colours and design are beautiful a real Sue card ☺
So that's me done, so I'll send love n hugs and say tarra till tomorrow xxx
Another fabulous card Sue xx and one of my favourite striplet so, love the colour combo xx love Kim D
Love the colours on this card. I like all your striplet dies Sue and really like how you have used this one. A gorgeous card, thank you. Have a good day. Xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh yes a very pretty card today, the colours go so well together, someone is going to be a very happy little bunny when the winner is announced.
Pam yes the furniture was delivered, although they said they could not get it through the door, hubby said why not take the packing off and wolla it worked, so all in place and very nice it looks too. Finally got my meds. yesterday afternoon, took the first one this morning (that is a week after the prescription was initiated), lord help me if I needed anything in an emergency.
I think it was Izzy who said about Windows 10 and Serif etc. well I use Serif a lot and I have had no problems at all with using it with windows 10 - hope this is helpful to you.
Jumping on Pam's bandwagon again and reiterating everything she has said, your wonderful Pam to help us so much.
Sue are you on the One Day Special tonight on Hochanda, or is John or someone else showing your dies.
Off to craft group this morning, doing stamping and embossing......looking forward to it.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue, the giveaway card is gorgeous, one of my all time favourite colour combos, great layout. Good luck everyone, someone is surely going to be happy with winning it. Bx

Morning Sue
A stunning card today for the giveaway, love everything about it. Thank you for the video yesterday, I couldn't post as I have terrible toothache and been awake all night. Off to the dentist today, think it might be an abcess rather than a tooth problem.
That teal card is so beautiful.
Hugs to everyone xx

Morning Sue a lovely card today.
Wishing everyone a great day.

Donna
Good morning Sue,
I love the teal colour way and design of today's card. The Rippled Striplet is going on to my wishlist, such a pretty die. A wonderful giveaway for one lucky person.x
Dear Sue and Blog Friends
As nice as the Rippled striplet was cut into Tuesday's card, it's even better in this one. I just love how it looks when you offset them so the fat parts match up with each other and the narrow parts match up with each other instead of the channel look that the die has by itself. I think there might be a word missing in the description of how you did the teal-backed striplet section in the center. Anyway, it seems a shame to cover up that fabulous look with the focal element framing the sentiment.
Glad to hear the updates on the furniture and the hillsides, the compatibility of Win10 with Serif and especially the bird bomber. An unexpected moment that make a good story although I'm sure it wasn't fun to live through. A fly in the soup merits a refund but apparently not a flying hazard. Unless the hazard had landed in the soup. (Ew, sorry.)
Yvonne, you really described the experience for most of us needing our Particraft fix.
Rosemary, welcome to the circle of caring friends united by the beauty of Sue's creations and the thrill of trying it ourselves.
Laine I hope this latest bout is short-lived.
Plus what Pam said.
Love,
Donita

Lovely colour combination. X
Lovely card for the giveaway, Sue, the striplet looks so different from yesterday's offering. Great colours and floral elements too.
Norah - good to see you back with the Ochil news!
Dreadful shock yesterday, one of our summer visiting horses died suddenly - just lay down and died, no forewarning or panic at all. She was 29, retired for years, and her owner (though of course very upset), was hugely relieved that a 'decision' didn't have to be made. RIP Ladybird, a lovely gentle old lady, who enjoyed her last day in the sun. She'll be buried here.
Echoing Pam, as ever.
Hugs to all.
'P' in Wales
Morning Sue,
Gorgeous card, love all of the striplets, haven't got this one, will have to remedy that.

Hi Sue,
What a gorgeous card for the weekly giveaway!...that Rippled Striplet is moving higher and higher up the wish list, it only got pushed down because of the new release, but must get my hands on it asap...
June - thanks for the info re Win10/Serif - maybe there's nothing to get my knickers in a twist about after all...
Saba - Ah, the joys of the modern medieval lifestyle!...lol...and didn't your mother warn you that white trousers are for admiring on the hanger and then putting straight back in the wardrobe?....
Norah - how nice to see you back, so sorry for your losses...
P in Wales - I think I'd like to go like Ladybird, one last day in the sun and then just keel over with no fuss...

Hi Sue, such a beautiful card and I just love the teal combo. I've just made my first card using one of your striplets and I'm hooked. There will be more!
Also I've just started matting and layering but I think maybe I've missed something as the end card is so heavy, does anyone have any advice please? Thanks Ann from Newmarket
Lovely card and great colour combination

Beautiful, love the teal. Xx
Stunning card. The striped nasturtiums are my
"go to" dies for floral embellishments.
Rosemary xx
Beautiful card in lovely colours. A very pretty combination of layers.

Morning Sue, what a lovely card for Wed. give away. I also love this particular striplet and must get it because mine don't look this good when I try to do similar techniques with them. However I do make quite a few "frilly" cards with my 'disasters ".
Great to see the stick pins back, too.
Looking forward to the Hochanda shows. Hugs xx P Auste 3n
Hi Sue
What a gorgeous card today, so many pretty dies and the gorgeous teal colour, one of my favourites. Isn't it strange that the nasturtiums look a much darker teal colour in the picture, trick of the light I suspect but still gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx

Morning, Sue,
Goodness, is it Wednesday already? What a lovely card for this week's giveaway. It's my ambition to win one of your cards that have stick pin embellishments, I wonder if today is my lucky day.
It's glorious here in Cornwall this morning with bright sunshine and a clear blue sky. That's good as I need to go to town to pick up my new specs in about 30 minutes, then I hope I get back in time to accept a delivery as it's a new, bare rooted magnolia tree and I would hate to miss that arrival.
Have a great day, everyone.
Bejay xx
Morning Sue, lovely card, I think the nasturtium die just might pop into my basket somewhere.
Take care everyone, especially all those who are not 100% just now.
Jess xx
Hi Sue, a beautiful card and I just love the colour combination. The touch of black is really dramatic and so effective. And of course I just love the striplets.
Lovely card - please to see the stick pins making an appearance.
Hi Sue; a gorgeous card. Beautiful colours and I love your flowers and the matching pin sticks.
Hello Sue
Dramatic look to todays card I love it.I am so looking forward to your shows starting tonight.Pam where would we be without your daily update thank you.Elaine I hope Andrew is a little better today and you look after yourself.Sharon it sounds like good news fingers crossed.Dawn ouch I hope you get your tooth sorted.Ann when I am matting and layering if possible I cut out a big chunk of the card you don't see to make it lighter
Hi Sue, I think teal has become my favourite colour at the moment. And coupled with my striplet addiction I'm having a field day. Love the card, ticks all my boxes.
Hi Sue, a really beautiful card for the giveaway and I love everything about it from the colours, the clever use of striplets right through to the flowers and stick pins.
'P' - sorry to read about Ladybird but I think she had a good life and isn't that the way we would all like to go?
Anne R - when matting and layering I think most of us 'gut' some of the base layers (just cutting out a square from the middle leaving enough of a frame for the next layer to cover the hole) and then build the level up with a few foam pads. This not only makes the card lighter but leaves you extra pieces to play with :-)
Sharon - fingers crossed for the biopsy and hope you don't have to wait too long for an appointment.
Frances

I love the combination of the teal and coconut card stock! I think that the teal seems more vibrant against the coconut than it does with white. This is a stunning card and I am hoping to be this week's card winner! TFS!

Good afternoon or is it evening at 18:00 Sue and the happy band of Wilsonettes,
The deep teal green is a striking colour Sue and for me(sorry folks) there is just enough black on it to enhance the designs beauty. Although i don't have these dies as yet(they are on my list to take with me to the next show)the nastrustiums particularily. It has taken a while for these wee flowers to get under my skin but now that they have, they're like an itch that won't go away without doing something about it, so bull by the horns to relieve that one. It's so nice to see your stick pins getting an outing Sue as there is something so pretty about your cards that have them on it, making it look so elegent. OK hands up who all has stick pins in their stash that they haven't looked at for a while? Come on don't be shy, we all have them hiding away just waiting to prick us because we are not giving them any crafty love? I have tried in vain today to make a sympathy card and gave up as a bad idea, i will just go and buy one (swearing i know but needs must). Thank you Sue for a lovely Sue original that we can tell from 20 paces us Wilsonettes, it's like we can always tell who has influenced cards that we see pinned by other people. You know Sue, your creative style has influenced a whole world of crafters and new crafters every day and because of you that some of us keep our sanity. Thank you Sue.
Oh how i wish that everyone could wake up to the wonderful view that i do and it has been such a beautiful day, showing my hills up in all their glory until some midden has set them on fire to burn the gorse and bracken, fizzing toerags that they are. Now there is no livestock kept on these hills for them to be endangered by the gorse and bracken, so i just don't see the need for it. The colours that it adds to the landscape is so lovely and all so very different. Rory has started to take his carer's up the hills on the nice days and Karen, one of them that just loves being outdoors has planned for them to take a picnic next week if it is as bonny. From the weeks after their births, my two were taken walking by me through the wonder of the countryside and the woods and forests. From barking to pressing flowers and leaves, bramble picking to strawberry picking, teaching them what all the different trees were just like Mum did with Jim and I. Although i used to take them out walking they went "off it" for a few years but it's nice to see Rory going back out and doing the nature trails up the hills and seeing the things that you can only truly experience when you are on two feet. It's the smell and the sounds, the quietness that is around you with only the birds and the animals to hear.
Thank you for all your lovely messages at me coming back in, i didn't realise that my wanderings and ramblings were read by so many of you. I will try and be good come in, its just sometimes i get a wee bit down and can't get back up, but i will try and keep upbeat.
Sending hugs to all my lovely Wilsonettes that need, could do with or just want one,you are welcome to mine
love and crafty hugs

Lovely card sue! Beautiful colours and love the stickpin comeback!!!
beautiful!! love the colors you used!
Hello Sue,
Gorgeous card today with beautiful flowers and stick pins to enhance it.
Pam hope you are feeling better every day. You have summarised everything beautifully as usual.
Elaine, I hope you, Andrew and Helen all pick up and things brighten for you. I enjoy your gentle hugs and hopefully I'll soon be getting the same ones as everyone else. Every day is an improvement and I hope to run a marathon next week, or at least go up and downstairs by myself ha ha.
Laine, sorry you are down, but you certainly aren't out. Keep your pecker up.
PP, glad you got sorted with your connection and are back with us. Hope you enjoyed your friend's coffee and company. Keep well.
Sharon, good luck.
Norah, lovely to see you back.
'P' sorry to read about Ladybird, but what a perfect way to go.
June S, glad they managed to get the furniture in.
Donita, what a hoot, a bird in Saba's soup - good job she's not vegetarian ha ha.
Izzy, that's a good tip for keeping white trousers white!!
Nannieflash, Get Well Soon.
Maria, sending love.
Pat L, love to you and Sarah.

Hello Sue,
Someone is going to win a very pretty card! It's really lovely and so nice to see the stick pins again! I have some made ready but haven't used them for a while! Until you used it in card making I was never a lover of teal! You changed that! Particularly with a hint of black - it's lovely!
I've had a crazy day! You know when you tidy out a cupboard and you had no intention of doing so - well that's been me today! Ironing next! A woman's work is never done! Ha ha!
Maureen - you are getting chirpier by the day !! Having said that you were even chirpy in Hospital ! So pleased you are improving - there was a lot of room for improvement!!
I laughed at the advice for white trousers too! Likewise skirts - fatal they are!
Laine - I knew you weren't well! Hope you feel a bit better today as we miss you!
Wonder if Saba is stuck in the chimney?
Pam - are you feeling lots better? I do hope so.
Carmen - you made me laugh! Thanks for that! Izzy did too !
Take care, Sharon, Elaine , Norah , Andrew and any others who aren't feeling too well!
Ladybird had a lovely life and didn't suffer! How lovely!
Love to all,
Myra xxx
fab card ,love the flowers ,Laura O
Hello Sue,
What an absolutely delightful card for the Wednesday give away. Love the teal edged with black especially on the striped nasturtiums, it's just such a striking combination. Glad to see your stick pins are being used again, they always add that little bit of luxury to your cards. Thank you Sue
Pam thank you for your daily update, I'm still sitting on a bit of the sofa surrounded by piled up furniture covered in dust sheets in a chilly sitting room with no tv but the end is in sight, hoping they finish tomorrow.
Dawn I really feel for you, hope it was t an abscess after all.
Donita the bird bomber missed my lunch by a hairsbreath, at least I think it did! But as Maureen quite rightly pointed out at least I'm not a vegetarian !
"P" sorry about Ladybird it must have been quite a shock but a good way to go for her. Hope you are ok now.
Elaine I don't know about Muck for Luck it was more "Muck" YUK! Sorry Andrew is feeling so ill from his chemo, hope he was a bit better when you phoned him.
Izzy, did any of us ever listen to our mothers advice? I'm please to say they came out ok in the wash.
Sharon here's hoping all is well with the biopsy and future treatment, sending hugs as you must be worried.
Nannieflash hope all goes well for you too.
Anne R, I'm like Frances and Trish, I sometimes only use a frame for matting and layering to avoid the weight and I'm a bit frugal at times!
Myra I'm not stuck up the chimney although I did stick my head up the great big hole they made and thought I saw Santa!
Love, hugs and good luck for everyone in the draw.

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a fabulous example of your many talents, we have been treated today to a real Sue classic ribbon, flowers and stick pins galore!
The colour palette is fresh and vibrant, the teal mixes well with the crisp coconut white and the touch of black provides all the enhancement it needs as a finished product. The Rippled Striplet is truly wonderful and has created an eye catching background worthy of any focal point even i think, and the Striped Nasturtiums are singing to me seductively...i cant quite believe that i have neglected to purchase them thus far, surely i will have to remedy this gross oversight forthwith! I adore stick pins, any card using them is a masterpiece in my eyes so the lucky recipient of this card is really in for a treat, good luck in the draw my lovelies and thanks to Sue for picking yet another showstopper.
Well, as Norah says, we have had some glorious weather today and the Ochil Hills were shown to their best advantage. I decided to strip off in the heat in the hope that I may make a start to my 2017 tan and no stiff breeze was going to deter me, in fact it was quite pleasant really. A bit of time soaking up the suns rays can do you the world of good both mentally and physically, we have to grab every opportunity we can in Scotland because balmy conditions never last and are soon replaced by wind and rain.
Brodie joined us because he is partial to the sunshine too and we went for a little walk....he's very well trained and follows us everywhere even though he isn't on the lead anymore, only its at his own pace:-) He has been secretly visiting a neighbour who has been encouraging him into her house. She lost her own cat last year so Brodie must give her comfort but I don't like the thought of him getting too cosy because she lives in a flat next door to a woman with a Doberman and two Whippets and he could bump into them and get trapped in the stairwell....he's such a little prostitute though:-), and you can't tell a cat where to go or what to do so I despair!
P, RIP Ladybird, thankfully she passed peacefully in the sunshine which is how I would choose to go too. It must still be a shock though even given her ripe old age, thinking of youxxx
Elaine, sorry to hear Andrew is suffering, what a pity it spoiled his break away. I hope he picks up again soon and is ready for his next treatment. Hope your GP appointment went well too and the home visit for your back helpedxxx
Maureen, you are such a tonic, you have a great attitude and humour which really cheers up miserable old sods like myself:-)
Saba, you really made me chuckle over your white trouser incident:-) Hope you're enjoying your time in Yorkshire despite the draughts and lack of electricity:-)
Carmen, at least someone appreciates some of my many qualities, I never would have thought it would be you though:-) I'm feeling strangely out of sorts at the minute...must be my impending chat with Yvonne tomorrow:-).....but bear with me because it will pass and I will be back to my witty, adorable self again:-)
Sending cuddles to my besties such as Myra, Pam,Pat, Theresa, Maria, Frances, Donita, Tracy, June, Norah, the rest of the Naughty Nine and Yvonne(though it pains me to do so), with special hugs to Sharon following her hospital appointment and both Tina's.

Hi Sue,As always a fantastic card, you have given so many ideas for my cards
Many thanks xx
Evening Sue
Everything about this card screams class x
I always forget how much I love teal then you spring a gorgeous surprise like this. Stunning x
The rippled striplet is one of those invaluable little must haves with so much versatility. As for the striped nasturtium - one of my new favourites. Stick pins seem to have made quite a few appearances recently after a long absence and they are very welcome back x
Whoever wins this card will be overjoyed to receive such a beauty x
Girls came round tonight armed with M & S meringue nests, cream and strawberries. We munched and giggled our way through Benidorm then I was left in peace and here I am x
June - your conservatory sounds lovely x
Donita - it is really not easy going cold turkey from Particraft x
P - Am I allowed to say that's a lovely way to go?! RIP Ladybird x
Elaine - sorry to hear Andrew is so poorly. Sorry you're back is giving you trouble. Gentle hugs x
Izzy - white trousers - how impractical x
Sharon - hope things don't take too long x
Nannieflash - take care x
Maria - rant - me - never x
Carmen - Laine and sunshiny are not really 2 words that go together x
Norah - lovely to have you and your hills back x
Maureen - is gorgeous George behaving himself? x
Laine - limbering up for our catch up - promise I'll try and stay awake while you talk rubbish x
Pam - when I spoke to Maureen last week we made an executive decision - we decided that next time I come up to Newcastle we should try and arrange a meet - you up for that? x
Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone especially my blog besties x
Take care

The striped nasturtiums are a favorite of mine, and last week I ordered the dies. You have shown the versatility of these dies, and I am looking forward to receiving them. The card is lovely with the complement of the stick pens, as the previous post has already stated. Have a blessed day!
Simply gorgeous. Flowers, stick pins, teal card and the Rippled Striplet, all lovely.
Norah, good to see you back. Your tales are very much missed when you aren't here.
Take care everyone.
Very pretty card. What's not to love about this car? The stick pins match so nicely to the teal you have used. I have yet to see one of your cards I didn't like/want!
Hi Sue
