Hi bloggers! The Indonesian Collection is unique in that the outside shapes are all the same but in different incremental sizes. That means you can use the collection to create shaped frames and if you use acetate for the base, they look as if they are floating, giving your card a really unique look!
Gorgeous card Sue, love it. So very stylish.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Carmen, you sound as if you had a wonderful vacation, shanninville sounds great for all of us to visit. Happy Anniversary and happy birthday to your hubby.
Rosemary,please try not to worry,axDonita says, once they know what the problem may be they can devise a treatment plan. I have lived 69 years with a heart condition, born with it and only diagnosed 17 years ago. Fainted a lot as a girl and it was put down to growing pains.
Just don't let them hit your wrist with a book, that means you gave a ganglyleon, did I spell that right.
Alison, the swimming and gym are certainly working. You deserve to have your knee operation fir all of your hard work. Diane, you go girl too.
I've got Garys card made for him to give to Diane, I'm very pleased with it too. Must get cracking on the others.
Hugs to all, special thoughts to our poorly and missing friends.
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lovely card.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, I absolutely love this gorgeous card, such a great effect with the acetate. Off to watch the video. Have a great day all. Bx

This is beautiful.love the simple lines xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Gorgeous card and I forward the sentiment to everyone. Love how you size your dies so that we can make various size frames as they add that extra "something".
ReplyDeleteCarmen, sounds like a wonderful holiday, I think we all need to visit Shannonville! I agree about that part of Canada you visited, I'd live in either Quebec City or a small town called Kingston which you may know. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
A wonderful card Sue a great idea with the acetate xx
ReplyDeleteLovely card! Love the floating frame technique. Debra x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh gosh this is such a beautiful creation, it does remind me of a spellbinder card I saw years ago but yours is much nicer.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, what a lovely card and a great idea. I will watch the video with a coffee before my little grandson arrives and I have to watch Thomas the Tank Engine AGAIN. I swear I know every word in that video now (lol), wouldn't change him for the world though.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card today, it's gorgeous and the floating effect is wonderful. You do have some pretty dies in your collection don't you. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam echoing your comments today. Thank you for the encouragement, I've been swimming with my daughter and we've really enjoyed it, the rest is continuing on my own when she goes back to uni which isn't long now. Xxx
Rosemary I'm sorry but you made me chuckle, I used to sit through Thomas the tank engine but we had to fast forward the scary bits with diesel as Emma didn't like them. Mostly it was Barney we watched- I still know all the words to every song!! Still as you say we love them to bits. Have a fun day xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely exquisite card today with a lot of depth without bulk.Yvonne xx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful classy card and what a fabulous technique with those acetate layers!...off to watch the video and then dig out that pack of acetate I bought some time ago, I know it's in the craft room somewhere...lol

ReplyDeleteLovely, elegant card. Love the floating frame technique: very different.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card. Just about to watch the video with my mug of coffee.
Pam, thank you. Although I won't admit this to Dave, I actually quite like he gym now! I love the swimming although I would like the pool with maybe only 4 or 5 people in it so I don't have to keep manoeuvring around other people!! That's the selfish side of me coming out!!
Diane, well done. I think that if you get into a routine of going with your daughter, then once she's gone back to uni, you will find it easy to keep going. I know if I was allowed to drive that I would go on my own if Dave didn't want to go now.
Love and hugs, Alison xx
great idea. can be used in a multitude of ways. lush card, hugs xx

Carmen I have just been back to your post yesterday. Wow you certainly packed in a lot on your holiday
ReplyDeleteCanada 🇨🇦 is a place my hubby has always wanted to visit but with his health issues I can't see that happening any time soon if ever
So thank you for your wonderful description it sounds amazing And then seeing Sues dies would have had the same affect on me love them all Nice to see you back Hun
Rosemary chin up sweetheart will be thinking of you
Theresa G xx
Dear Sue and Crafter's Apprentices,
ReplyDeletePresenting Sue the Magnificent! Watch as she taps her wand on three different die sets, then pulls shaped frames out of her Platinum hat! Another tap of the wand, and they levitate!
Thanks for showing how your magic tricks are done, Sue. We'll never tell. But if we do tell, we'll tell them not to tell, as my grandmother always used to say.
Speaking of acetate, I cut up my first piece today to use with the butterfly stained glass window.
Welcome back, Carmen! You had said you would see Sue's North American distributor on your vacation. I'm so glad you gave us a full report. And congratulations on your anniversary and on finding a city that feels like home. We lived near Montreal (on the island) when I was in fourth and fifth grade. I remember visiting Toronto (such tall buildings) and Quebec (such old, ornate buildings) but I don't remember Ottawa.
Thinking of you while you're at your appointment, Rosemary. Remember that you are a kicker of cancer's butt, so we know you're tough. But you're allowed to have your real feelings. To use your words, love and hugs to you. Love and hugs to you too, Crewe Trish.
Francis, thank you for reading my food truck story and watching the video. One never likes one's own self on video.
Myra, during the next release, let's use feverish followers.
Congratulations to the faithful gym-goers, lap swimmers and losers of weight. Sigh.
Love,
Donita
Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Very elegant and using acetate for the floating effect is so different. Thanks for your video.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Today's card is very elegant, I love it and the video is great too
ReplyDeleteMarion S x
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis card is BEAUTIFUL - love the idea of floating frames. And thank you for doing the video - absolutely essential for someone like me who forgets things..
Love the colour combo, too.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue. I love the effect of this technique and it is so clever. I must give it a try - now where did I put all that acetate that I have stored away in a safe place.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hi Sue, a fascinating card that will intrigue any recipient. Great video as always, thank you. Oh dear, the Indonesian collection should really be so much higher on my list but I am getting into Christmas mode and still need so many more of your new release dies.
ReplyDeletePam - I think you will find that is ganglion :-) My grandfather had the book treatment over half a century ago but I don't think they do that nowadays lol Good luck with the rest of your cards.
Carmen - so glad you enjoyed your holiday and who wouldn't want to visit Shannonville - I expect you were like a child in a sweet shop (or kid in a candy store lol). Belated Happy Anniversary to you both and Happy Birthday to your husband. Cake & champagne - can I visit?
Donita - you're welcome, it was very interesting.
Well we have sunshine today and I have washing on the line for the first time in ages. I am almost looking forward to going for the messages and not getting wet! Hope everyone has a good day.
Frances
Hi Sue this is a stunning card it is just so pretty. I will have to settle in and watch the video later. It will be my treat. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteWow, quite an unusual technique...must give it a try....thank you Sue...the card is just amazing, so subtle, but beautiful...luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a floating frame. Will have to watch the video later to see how it is achieved. X
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteA lovely idea with the acetate.
ReplyDeleteLoved your video and the finished card....so beautiful and I will give this a try for sure. When I cut vellum, or any thinner materials like shimmer sheets, foamiran, etc., I just add a layer (or two) of scrap card under (and sometimes over...keeps the vellum cleaner by sandwiching it in between two pieces of card, too) the vellum to make it thicker going through the die cutting machine. Seems to work well for me....or if I'm going to need several of the same cut, I'll double or triple up the vellum and cut them all at the same time in one pass. Hope this makes sense.
ReplyDeleteAnyway....great video and technique....love the floating elements.
Jan D., FL, USA
Gorgeous card as always. I had watched this video earlier on You Tube and wondered how you can always come up with such wonderful techniques.
ReplyDeleteRainy today here in SC

Hi Sue, this is a very elegant card & so clean looking using just the two colours. I like the idea of the floating frames, I don't have any of these dies, but I suppose I could adapt the idea using different dies. Another one n the list to try! Thank you for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteWell today it was so wet we took our two young grandchildren to the swimming pool on the way out to the car the heavens opened we got to the exit and the machine wouldn't accept our ticket which meant I had to go back into the reception to get it sorted by the time I got back into the car I was wetter than I had been in the pool I wondered why I had bothered to dry myself!!! Never mind at least we all enjoyed our swim!
Rosemary I've been thinking of you today I do hope you're ok
Elaine after catching up on the blog I see you have been having problems with a disruptive neighbour I do hope its all quiet for you now

Beautiful card Sue. Not watched video yet but will try in morning. From the comments it's amazing!! Xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry I'm so very late! Been a busy day!
What a lovely card !! A great video and new techniques to try! Thank you! The Indonesian set is one of my favourites! I love using them. So many Dies all capable of being used in harmony!
Carmen - glad you had a lovely holiday! You were missed .
Rosemary - sending you hugs and hoping things went well today!
I'm falling asleep so must say Night Night!

Hi Sue & dear Wilsonette friends,
ReplyDeleteStunning card and great video as always. Love the colors and I really like this idea with the acetate. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, ladies for the warm welcome and good wishes for me and my hubby.
Pam – Thank you for your daily comments. You helped me to get an idea about what happened while I was away. I will try to read everybody’s comments as well, in the next few days.
CraftySuetoo – We visited Kingston for the first time years ago when I booked “1000 Islands” cruise, as a surprise for my hubby’s b-day. We love it so we added this small town on our list for this vacation. We spent 2 days in Kingston on our way back to Toronto. Maybe the best part living there is that you’ll get to Shannonville in less than an hour.
Elaine – Yes, my vacation was really great. Hope Andrew is feeling better and you have peaceful nights.Hugs to you.
Rosemary P. – I always have great time when I am away if I am with my loved ones: my hubby and our son. I really hope everything went well for you today.
Yorkie girl - Yes, Canada has many beautiful places to visit. Hope that one day you and your husband will cross the pond. Best wishes for your hubby.
Donita - A full report will take me days to write down :). It’s good you remember only the tall buildings. You don’t want to see the old, small buildings that we have in our downtown. It’s a shame for a city like Toronto to have these dark and dirty stores and restaurants on the main street.
Fluffycat – You are so right, I was like a kid in a candy store. You can be that kid as well, come here! We always have cake and champagne for our b-days. Next one is around the corner ...in October. You are more than welcome to join us.
Pat L. – You are so kind. It’s good to be back home and on this friendly blog.
Crewe Trish – I love holidays! How was yours?
Myra – It’s good to know somebody missed you :)
Be happy and healthy, dear friends.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette
Carmen
Gorgeous card. Late again so I'll watch the video tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
That's a really beautiful card Sue. xx
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful card Sue and brilliant tutorial. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGood morning to you Sue and to all on this blog.
ReplyDeleteI dearly love this card and would love to have a go at it. Unfortunately I don't have the right dies and I don't have the acetate so I must start a wish list soon. I have put a curb on my buying since my house was put on the market as I'm supposed to keep it tidy. I don't know any crafters that can keep their place tidy all the time do you?
Great effect with the vellum and those frames! really they seem floating! Another clever delight from you!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, loving the vellum, colours and frames. Another fab video, think I might need a day off to try this out x
