Hi crafters! Another fishbowl card to share with you! I just love that cat from the
Fishbowl Friend stamp set! I started by stamping the sentiment in black at the bottom of the card on a piece of
kraft card that I added to my coconut white background. I cut an aperture in the card using the die in the
Fishbowl set to fit my
treat cup and then die cut another sentiment and glued it to the top of the card. I filled the treat cup with some bits from my stash (I think they were called Prills) and sealed it with
acetate. I stamped the cat on another piece of white card and coloured him and die cut the fish and seaweed and added them in front of him. I taped the treat cup in place and lined the stamped cat up from behind it to show through the treat cup. I used a white pencil to add some highlights to the bottom of the card. White on white mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Thank you for all the great shows yesterday.
Thank you a cute card today.

Thoughts and prayers to all who need them.
Crafty hugs,

Loved the Hochanda shows yesterday Sue and love the techniques also. x
Hello Sue, this card is brilliant, such a fun effect and the sentiments are perfect. Have a great day all. Bx
Morning Sue. Well what can I say, you have shown us the most beautiful, exquisite, adorable samples over the past few day both festive and otherwise, and I really am excited about all the samples to be shown here leading up to the festive season. You were glowing during your shows and it was so obvious just how proud you are about this new collection and so you should be love ☺
If you was a fish you'd be fintastic too but let's just say you are fantastic and this sample is way too cute how can anyone smile at this cheeky cat lol.
Will try to comment over the next week but out in the sticks I'm not sure how the WiFi will be. Sending you enough love n hugs for the week just in case xxx 💖
Love the fishbowl! Darling card!
Fun card Sue.
Hi Sue, lovely card this morning, such a cute cat!
Barbara V
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh such a cute card, can just imagine that little pussy cat watching the fishes swim around, gorgeous.
Loved all your shows Sue, you really do make your shows look so easy and what is so good is that you go through it all step by step, you don't rush your words when explaining (unfortunately a lot of presenters do) and we al know that if we have a problem or are confused about something we can always e-mail you for guidance, looking forward to seeing you again at Ally Pally, got my tickets already, (PS everyone - get your tickets direct through Creative Expressions much cheaper then the venue itself)
I especially liked the cutting down of the rectangle and making it into a square, with the sentiment just fitting nicely over it, did you plan it that way Sue when you designed the dies.
Pam I reiterate everything you have said above - sending everyone special hugs.
Stay safe, healthy and happy hugs, June Smith xxx
too cute! i can already imagine that fish bowl on the floor... hugs xx
Good morning Sue. A very cute card, love the tip of making the whole shaker with acetate and then lining up the picture afterwards. I've always tried to use the picture as the backing and it never goes well! Brilliant shows, I wish you were on more often.
Echoing Pam's comments again this morning. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Good morning Sue, I remember seeing you demo this last time you were on tv!!!
Have a good one!!!

Cheryl , thinking of you today and i hope they get you sorted.
Mary is home ,she has done so well and is looking good, it is Andrew and Helens Wedding Anniversary today , if Andrew is well enough they are out for a meal tonight to celebrate.
My vision got better as the day went on , perhaps it was because i have not had much sleep lately, but all seems well now.
Pam I handed in my form to the Deputy Warden who will pass it on to the powers that be , your employers are nothing but bullies, just hang on in their if you can, will echo you again today.
Hugs to all

Hi Sue,
What great shows and demos of your Festive days we've had thanks to you, and so very chuffed for you to have a sell-out not once, but TWICE! And another sell-out (I presume it went from LIMITED to sell-out) on the other fab bundle . Surely you'll have some champers to celebrate!
I love, love, love this card - I must admit, the cat's the star and you've given blue-eyes the perfect setting. I love your Fillables, too. And that Sue Wilson elegance still shines through the fun element. Great!
Hugs, Rose
Great card, such a fun one.
Michele
Hi Sue, well obviously being a cat person (I've got three) I just LOVE this card.

Wendyx
Hi Sue,
I love this card! It brings back so many memories of my childhood. We used to have a goldfish every year( won at the shows!) and our cat would sit and watch it swimming round and every now and then the paw would go in the bowl to try and catch it! (Never did mind you!) well done with the shows on Hochanda. Love to all, Alison xxx
This card would make anyone smile, love the cute cat.
Enjoyed your shows Sue.
Morning Sue,
A fun card for a cat lover.

Morning Sue. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card it's so cute. I can see this cat sitting there all day to see if he can get it lol. Thank You for all the great shows you were fantastic, you take everything in your stride nothing seem to faze you. You show us what card you are going to demo and you take us through it step by step until it's finished. I have so many of your shows recorded that i go back many time to different shows just to remind myself what you have done over the years and your dies are just so different from when you first started. They are getting better everytime you bring a new release out. Thanks once again Sue.
Best Wishes.

Dear Sue and All of You Guys Too,
Cats like to watch TV. This is dorbs.
Rosemary, my heart goes out to you. Well, you've proved you can kick cancer's butt, so if that lump is cancer, you'll just have to do it again.
Sending love, prayers and gratitude for you.
And everyone who needs some too.
Jackie Trinder, is this the big weekend? I hope you enjoy every minute!
Love,
Donita

A really cute card. I just love that cat! X
Such a cute card x
Hi Sue
On one of your shows you mentioned the impression left by the metal edge of the die. I had this problem when extending the sky portion of the wise men die, I'm sure your clever followers will already have come up with a solution, mine was to cut a piece of grey board to fit inside all the edges including apertures, taping this in place and using 2 full size pieces of grey board, the raspberry plate and cutting plate as the sandwich - worked perfectly.
Really enjoyed your shows. Thanks for the tips, I actually managed to do some piercing this morning, the secret is definitely having the right size pokey tool.
Best wishes
Dorianne
Good morning Sue and everyone
What a fun card this morning I can just imagine the cat eyeing up the fish for tea lol
I have a friend who would love that card
Pam I will echo your comments
I am off to get the dreaded grey hairs covered again
Hugs to all that need one
Have a lovely day
Theresa G xx
A lovely fun card.
Hi Sue, I absolutely adore this card. That cat definitely has the look of my youngest one, if there is mischief to be got up to then he will be there :-)
Rosemary - I hope you get your appointment soon, waiting is always the hardest part. Fingers crossed that the lump is benign and if not then as Donita says you kicked it before and can do so again.
Donita - please explain 'dorbs'.
Elaine - glad that May is at home and hope that Andrew and Helen get to celebrate their anniversary.
Stephanie - enjoy your holiday, hope the weather holds for you.
Thinking of all the other poorly and/or missing Wilsonettes.

Cute card...this cat looks like he just swallowed the canary....could be looking into bird cage for a variation.
