Hi bloggers! A window scene just for you! I selected a piece of light grey card and embossed it with the
That Special Touch Crackle mask by running it through the Platinum machine. While the die was still in place, I used
Pumice Stone Distress ink lightly over the top to add a bit more detail. I stamped my sentiment on a thin strip of
dark grey card and added it to the bottom of the masked area. Next I stamped th
e Home Comforts Stamp To Die For on a piece of coconut white card and coloured it with distress markers. I cut the window out of white card including the half circle rounded area on top. I used a piece of sticky adhesive on white card and cut just the half circle are and coated it with
Iced Flake for the look of decorative glass in the upper window. I added the window on top of the stamped image and glued the entire piece to the centre of the card. I cut many of the
Spring Foliage out of varying shades of green from my stash. I glued them randomly across the top of the card to look like ivy hanging from a wall. I added a topiary from the
3D Window box Accessory set to each side of the window as accents. White and grey mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Lovely card Sue, gorgeous window scene, I want to live there.
ReplyDeleteDonita, so glad you had a great time on Saturday, thought you would enjoy it. They certainly work hard on the food vans don't they.
Elaine, good thst Andrew was well enough to go fishing. Hope your peaceful nights continue, sleep is so important to you.
Alimecca, well done you on your weight loss, what is your secret.
CreweTrish, welcome home glad you had a lovely holiday in spite of the heat.
Kelly said the puppy is much better, thank you all. They took him fir a walk along the seafront promenade at Seaton Carew. Said they couldn't get far as everyone kept stopping them to look at him, one guy even wanted to buy him, he is a little cutie.
Have a good day everyone, hope we get some fine weather today. Hugs to all especially our poorly and missing friends.
Steph, are you okay Hun, hope all is well.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card today. I would love to live there!
Pam, thank you. I can only put it down to swimming 50+lengths twice a week and gym twice a week, then eating sensibly which for me means almost no crisps! I am determined that I will lose the two stones so that I can have my knee done!
Love and hugs to all, Alison xx

Donita I read your article yesterday, very well written. Sending love and hugs.
Well tomorrow I find out if there is something wrong with my brain apart from the fact there is not much in it ! Lol!
I have had all the tests now going to see consultant for results. If it's not my head it's my heart so either way I lose !!
Sending you all love and hugs Xxxxxxxxxxx

ReplyDeleteLovely card and so good being able to peep through the window.
The die and stamp are so useful for New Home and Christmas cards.

Stunning card Sue. Love looking through the window into a cosy room.
ReplyDeleteLove Val in Spain xxx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAlways love your picture cards and this one with the armchair by a roaring fire is just perfect for a cold, wet August morning!...and I just knew there was a die set that would turn the Birch Trees from a wintry scene into a spring/summer one and the Spring Foliage is it - just gone on the wish list!
Izzy
Gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteRosemary xx
Morning Sue., super card, I can also see this a Christmas card, especially if you put a Christmas tree die/stamp in the window.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone, Jess xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Sue and Fervid Followers,
This could also be a Thinking of You card. Maybe the spring foliage in browns could be fall foliage. Then the sentiment could be warm wishes.
Debra K, we did see a card similar to this but it was a door, made with the same dies.
Thanks to Myra and Crewe Trish and Rosemary Powell for looking up my food truck story. Elaine, we use "in stitches" too. Thank you for your kind words. Glad the turmoil has settled down a bit.
Thank you for the puppy report, Pam.
Rosemary, knowing what it is can help them treat it. Do you watch Doc Martin? When the mover showed him a bump on his wrist, sure it was cancer, and asked how long he had to live, the doctor hit the bump hard with a book, and it was gone. I'm not suggesting they hit you in the head or the heart with a book. It just helps to know what it is and what's the treatment.
Well, here we are at Monday again. It just keeps happening.
Wishing everyone the best week possible, and silver linings if not outright sunshine.
Love,
Donita
Great Card. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card. You have added so much detail to a house themed card. Very welcoming.looking through the windows.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI could just see me in that house - it's charming. I don't know how you do it but this card just says to me "come in"....... Lovely.
Hugs, Rose
So many interior scenes would work. Fantastic! xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card - perfect for a 'new home' greeting, as well as a great male card.
ReplyDeleteDoreen R
Hi Sue, I know I keep repeating myself but I love this card! All of your samples using the window and door dies have been my most favourite. I have all of these dies and the matching stamps and love playing with them, I think it must be the home-maker in me coming out lol.
ReplyDeleteRosemary - I hope your results tomorrow are good, fingers crossed for you.
Donita - I watched your video and read your very good article. It looks as though it was very hot and hard work inside the truck but I bet the time passed quickly.
Yet another wet and dismal day so I think I should knuckle down and make some cards.
Frances
Lovely card, it would be admired by anyone who received it.
ReplyDeleteI love the foliage around the window, this card is great. Thank you, Sue
ReplyDeleteHi Sue this is a stunning card I love it. The dies and stamps go so well together. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteTo My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteToday's Card Is Just Phenomenal I Just Love The Stamped Image I'm Thrilled To Say I Have
All The Products Used In Today's Card, When I've Used My Window Plus Stamp I Cut The Window
Down The Centre Then Placed Acetate On The Inside (Faux Glass) So The Window Could Be Opened.
Then I've Done Christmas Cards With The Same Window, I Found A Beautiful Small Christmas
Tree Stamp That I Had In My Stash, I Added Snow Around Also The 2015 Father Christmas Plus
Rudolph/Sleigh, I Also Used The Front Door Cut Out In The Beautiful Glossy Black Card In A Very Similar Way,
Adding The Trees From Christmas 2015 Around Instead Of The Topiary Bushes.
They Make Magical Christmas Scenes.
All Thanks To Your Exceptional Cutting Dies Plus The Daily Inspiration You Share.
Products Used In Today's Card:-
"Stone Mask"
"Creative Expression Coconut White/Light Grey/Dark Grey Foundation Card" Plus Green Card From Your Stash
"Tim Holtz Pumice Stone Distress Ink Pad"

"Sue Wilson's 3D Window Box Accessories Cutting Dies - From The Kinetics Collection

Sue, You Started Today's Exquisite Card By Taking A Piece Of Light Grey Card Then You Embossed It Using
The Stone Mask, Whilst Still Within The Mask You Lightly Went Over The Top Using Pumice Stone Distress Ink
To Bring Out The Detail, The Wall Looks Tremendous.
You Then Stamped Your Sentiment Just For You On A Thin Piece Of Dark Grey Card Then Placed It At The Bottom
Of Your Card Where The Wall Finishes, Then You Stamped The Beautiful Home Comfort's Stamp On A Piece Of
Coconut White Card You Then Coloured This In Using Distress Markers (I Use Copics Alcohol Pens)
Sue, You Then Cut Out The Window From Coconut White Card Including The Half Circle Rounded Area At The Top.
You Then Used A Piece Of Sticky Adhesive Sheet On White Card Cut Just The Half Circle Area Then Coated
This With Iced Flakes To Give The Look Of Decorative Glass In The Upper Window (Another Great Tip)
You Then Glued Your Window On Top Of Your Stamped Image, Then You Glued The Entire Window To The Centre
Of Your Card.
Sue, You Then Cut Out Lots Of The Spring Foliage Out Of Various Shades Of Green Card From Your Stash, Using
The Acrylic Glue You Randomly Glued On Top Of Your Card To Look Like Hanging Ivy On The Wall.
You Then Added A Topiary Bush From The 3D Window Box Accessories Set To Each Side Of The Window As
Accents, You Used Mounting Foam To Put Them Into Place, Then You Added Your Background To A Piece Of
Coconut White Card Using Mounting Foam, You Also Added Your Famous/Signature/Piercing To This Piece Of Card
Then You Added Flat Mat/Layers Of Light Grey/Coconut White.

Hi Sue this card is lovely I really like the stone wall effect and all the detail you've included. So sorry I haven't commented for a few days as I said I've had all my family staying most of them have gone home now except for two of my young grand daughters who are staying till the end of the week while their parents are at work. It has been lovely to have them all home and so good to see all the grand children having fun together. I have been having a quick look at your wonderful cards every day Sue but have not had enough time to leave comments. I'm going to spend a bit of time now reading all the comments to catch up on all the news
ReplyDeleteRosemary I hope all goes well tomorrow and your results are good
Sending good wishes to all
Hi Sue. What a very pretty card today. It would make a perfect new home card too. I love the way you have created the effect of the stone wall.

Take care everyone.
Hello Sue and dear Wilsonette friends,
ReplyDeleteLovely card with so many great details. I like the stamped scene inside, it looks so cozy. Even I didn’t have time to comment for the past 10 days, I checked every other day the cards you posted. All beautiful cards as always.
First of all, I would like to congratulate all winners: Donita, Pam, Fluffy Cat, Patricia Y., Elizabeth B., Diane K.,Owlish & PP!
A little bit about my vacation/holiday ... We couldn’t go back home, so we decided to get to know better our adoptive country. We visited Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Kingston, Shannonville & Sandbanks. All beautiful places, nice hotels and restaurants, smiling people everywhere. The good weather gave us a chance to walk a lot, to visit as much as possible with a little planning. The capital, Ottawa. became our favorite place to live in Canada. I will move there tomorrow if, of course, we can find jobs. Each of the above cities, has more old buildings and history than Toronto, are cleaner and in my opinion, safer than Toronto, are closer to European cities style than, again, Toronto. If we won’t be able to move back to Europe one day, at least we have Ottawa as a back-up plan now.
I am pretty sure that the name Shannonville doesn’t tell you much, right? I give you a hint: Sue and probably Donita, know why this small town made our “must to see” list. We had to change a little bit our plans only to get there in time. I don’t know how many of you have had the chance to visit a store that carries all Sue’s dies and stamps. As soon as I saw Sue’s work in person I imagined all of the wonderful things I could make. On top of shelves are displayed cards made using Sue’s dies and stamps; one more beautiful than another. Judging by the time I spent there and the excitement he saw in my eyes, my husband was surprised and happy that I didn't buy the whole store :).It was an amazing experience and for me, the cherry on the cake of this vacation/holiday.
Two more things to add: yesterday on 6th, it was our anniversary, 23 and counting and today on 7th, it was my hubby’s b-day. The plan was to have dinner at a Romanian restaurant, but at the end hubby opted for a quiet and lovely meal at home, which he cooked for the three of us. Of course he got his gift and a beautiful card that I made special for him. We ended our b-day dinner with cake and champagne, as always.
In this note,
Be happy and healthy, dear friends.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette

This is so cozy and sweet! I look forward to that scene coming to pass in the very near future.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue - this is a brilliant card. Love all the detail.

Hi Sue, what a fantastic card, great as a "New Home" card or with some now around as a Christmas Card.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Good morning all.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Sue and as Lydia Jordan and others have said, it would make a stunning Christmas card too. I am NOT an artist but I could see it in my minds eye with a nutcracker in place of the topiaries and icicles instead of leaves. Now all I have to do is to buy the window die!
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteLove this card. The room feels very inviting. Must look out sor the stamp.
Margaret
Such a fun card love it
