Hi bloggers! I have another great unisex card for you today! Add some flowers to dress it up if you like, your choice. I started by cutting the
Infinity Striplet three time, out of
black, ruby red and coconut white card. I backed each of them with a differing colour background. I picked the background colour of the striplet next to each of them so there was a sort of order to it. I attached each of them side by side on another piece of card for my background. For the focal element, I cut the centre of the
Lucy die twice out of white and twice out of black card, I offset the black ones behind the white ones, then offset both of those to give a more circular look to it. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inside of the Indonesian tag and mounted it in the centre. White, red and black mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue, such a beautiful card, gorgeous. As you say perfect for males too.
Elaine, I hope you get sorted with the council soon, this is not good for you, you have so much to cope with at present.
Rosemary, hope the med increase doesn't cause any problems, keep going you are a trooper.
Sam, thank you for your kind comments, I have told the GP and she really reinforced the reason for absense and signed her name in that box too. Let's hope they take notice. Reading the comments so many people have been through this with their employers, it is a shocking way to treat loyal staff when they are down.
Laine, lovely to see you back, take it easy, you don't want a setback.
Tres, hoping for better days for you.
I've seen some new names on the blog, welcome to the best blog in the world although I would rather not apply for a loan lol.
Donita, if I didn't know already I would say you had a wonderful way with words.
Carmen, hope you are okay..
Hugs to all, missing and poorly friends especially.

Hello Sue, this card is stunning, love the striplet die, and the way you have done the colours. Have a great day all. Bx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this card is so effective with the striplets in the different colours and as you at a real unisex card, love it.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above. How are you feeling today, sounds like you have a good days and bad days. Have you got a date for the op yet.
Got some clearing up in my craft room today - got a big weekend ahead of me.
Stay safe, heathy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Striplet dies are so so versatile Sue, lovely card. Have a great day hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fab card Sue.
Stunning card Sue, very clever to arrange the colours as you have. Also great to have a card suitable for men as well as the ladies
Marion S x
Morning Sue.
A brilliant card thank you.
June I wish I could tidy my craft room, I go in determined to do it then I find a pretty card and start crafting lol.
Take care all and have fun Kitty.
Oh then the mess is worse than ever.
So beautiful card! Always love your creative use of striplets!
Great card Sue, I have this striplet die and enjoy using it. Thank you, have a good day. Xx
Morning Sue. This is a beautiful card and as you say a great unisex one. Can see this one made in some gorgeous colour ways and a brilliant one to use some of those bits we have lying around.
Best Wishes.

Hi Sue
A beautiful card, very striking. It would look lovely in other colourways, dressed up with flowers for a more girly look. Great versatility.

Morning Sue
What a striking card. Really eye-catching. Great one for the awkward men!
Been awake since 2 and did comment on yesterday's card. Started my comment at 4am and it was quite lengthy. Was feeling very pleased with myself but then it all went terribly wrong and I managed to lose the whole lot! Grrrrr x
Yesterdays card was my favourite from the festive launch. Not usually one to be drawn to cards with such bright and bold colour themes but that just took my breath away x
Sue your new dies really are something else. I will not give anything away as I know there are many on the blog who like to wait for the big reveal. We are in for such a treat and one heck of a launch x
Needless to say, after telling myself that I really don't need any more dies, at all, ever, I want the whole shebang! My crafting this year has been practically non existent but I will not be moved and am coveting each and every one of your new collection x
Pam - when people start to stroke your head, tell you you're a good girl and give you a treat - start to worry! Walkies x
June - I admire your willpower - only a couple pre-ordered - how on earth did you decide which ones?
Carmen - do not be sucked in by Laine's facade. She will pretend to be your friend then drop you like a hot potato! I got sucked in and look at me now x
Laine - trying to replace me? Well I look forward to putting you in your place later on when we chat x
Marie - shaker cards are always a way to use up the glitter. If you truly cannot find inspiration for your box full of sparkle donate it to a worthy cause. I have a neighbour who volunteers for a craft group for cancer patients. Any time I give her my 'unloved' bits she is always so grateful. It is an offence to 'dump' anything, lol. So sorry you had a tough day on Monday. Anniversaries such as these are always so hard. Sending hugs x
Donita - hugs x
Teresa - they do say leave a little sparkle wherever you go x
Sharon - try checking out Joanna Sheens website for new dies. That said they do seem to be on many of the websites x
Elaine - hugs x
Fluffy - hugs x
Tres - sending you love and hugs x
Well I think it's bedtime!!! Lol. This crazy sleep pattern is making life interesting - she said try I ng to put a positive spin on things! I really do need to get some rest to prepare for Laine's incessant whining this evening. It is a tough job but someone has to do it - just wish it wasn't me x
Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone especially my blog besties x
Take care

Loving your idea and color way for this card Sue , the Striplet die is so versatile.
PP Grrr it happened to me twice this month , it just flew away and both lengthy posts it is so annoying .Hope you get some rest ready for your catch up with Laine.
Tres, so sorry to hear of all your upsets , stay strong both of you .
Carmen sending you a big hug .
Myra, Maureen and Crewe Trish , a big hug to you too .
Rosemary , i hope you are still not having any side effects .xx
Pam ,Andrew said he was Ok yesterday , well i know by the sound of his voice if he is well or not and he is clearly not well at all , i do feel worried as these last two treatments have been the worse so far and he usually has between 7 - 10 days of feeling something like normal before the next treatment . I hope today he will sound more like himself .
I echo you again today , lets hope your employers get the message and leave you alone so you can get on with getting better , hope you have a good stress free and pain free day .
Hugs to all poorly and missing friends
Elaine H X
A great card for men
Great card, love the contrast of the colours x
Such a striking card today. Love this colour combination & I'm just thinking this could be done in football strip colours for the men. Haven't got this die but maybe one of your other striplets will work just as well, if not guess which die I will be buying next! Thank you Sue for another brilliant idea.
Great card with a lovely design!
I love the versatility of the stripper dies, Sue and this card really shows this one off at it's best.
Anne (Northampton)
Hi, Sue,
What a brilliant card and very striking using the red, black and white. I think anyone, male or female, would love to relieve this on their special day.

Dear Sue and Everyone Who Feels Special By Belonging To This Blog,
Okay, Lucy does look good in a full circle like this. And with these three colors, Infinity shows she can rock and roll, baby.
So sorry Tres about the heartache you're going through on top of your recent losses. Emotional pain takes so much energy, so you both will need more rest. Go easy on yourself and indulge in naps.
Today I had my first good day in weeks. Free of pain, able to focus, not dragging. And maybe, just maybe, the heat and humidity are done for the summer.
My strategy for the September launch is to close my eyes, plug my ears and say "la, la, la, la, la," until it's over. How else can I not want everything?
Thanks for the hugs and kind words.
Love,
Donita
Hi Sue, I love the Infinity Striplet and I think that I like this card but it is just not speaking to me in the way that your cards usually do. I love the Lucy die in the centre so maybe it is just going to have to grow on me.
Tres - paws crossed for good news for Charlie dog next week and I hope that you and your other half will start to feel better soon.
Laine - you are so considerate of Yvonne but have you seen what she has written today lol Pippin and the girls are well and I do believe there may be a slight thawing in hostilities.
PP - perhaps you should just pretend you are a night shift worker and turn your day upside down but then maybe the boys wouldn't like having cornflakes for dinner or a roast for breakfast :-)
PP & Elaine - if you know you are going to write a lengthy post why not type it in Word saving as you go and then just copy it into the blog. I did this for quite a while even for short posts when my laptop wasn't behaving and erased everything as I was trying to post. It certainly saved a lot of frustration.
Wishing everyone a good day.
Frances
Such a striking card, I love it and think it would be great for a male card ( and they are always difficult!) The striplets are brilliant.
I like this :)
Great card. Love the colours x
Hi Sue,
Fab card. Colours right up my street. And I love the Lucy die and the striplets.

Wowzers! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this card! I love making cards like this one because it is fun to see how I can combine the colors and elements evenly so that the card doesn't wind up looking like a rodeo 🤡! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us! TFS!
Hello Sue.
Great Card. I really like this style, a great design. The dies, the layout and the colour combination works so well. I also like the unisex element. Thanks for sharing.

PartiCraft is one of my first reads every morning, today being no exception. Your ideas and presentation are always so inspiring. I love your dies for quality and beauty, and own as many as I can afford, and I admire this card - I may have to shop again.... le'sigh! Thank you for sharing with this wanna be papercrafter!
Hi Sue. Great idea with the use of the colours and as I own all these die there is no excuse for me not to have a go at something similar. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Sue and everyone
Sue I'm sorry but this card doesn't do it for me maybe the colour combo asI tend to go for pastel colours except for Christmas.

Another lovely card today, like you say totally unisex, but also sentiment neutral as well - a good just because card...
Hi Sue
Love all your striplet dies, they are so versatile. Today's card is very striking probably due to the colours used but I love it.
Donita I wish I'd seen your strategy for the September release earlier, just had to preorder one or two of them!!

I am not sure why this card isn't for me it may be the colours.I keep looking at your new collection with envy there are so many I like I will never catch up I still have a few I want from your Christmas dies.Luckily I have a birthday in a couple of weeks time.i
Pam I hope you have had a pain free day look after yourself.Rosemary fingers crossed the medication is starting to work.Elaine I hope Andrew has had a better day you must be so worried.Donita I hadn't realised you hadn't been feeling well

Hello Sue,
I like today's card very much because it really got me thinking! That's hard when you are old you know! Like so mani ideas it's simple - but only if you think of it in the first place!! Love the colours but maybe three shades of pink, blue or lilac would work too! Thank you!
Donita if you can keep that cacophony up for over a week - every credit to you - I'm just glad you are on the other side of The Pond!! I'm too nosey - I'll have to look!!
Elaine - thanks for the hug! I appreciate that! Sending one to you too! Hope Andrew is feeling a bit brighter today!
Lynda Mellor- have a lovely break! I see you are on your holibobs - have you been on the holijuice by any chance?! Just kidding - have a lovely time!
Pat L - I always suspected you were too quick for your own good!! Lol! So pleased to hear your husband is making such good progress!
Like Maureen - I think of Sarah often. She is such a little star!
Pam - take care my dear, and many thanks!
PP - I'm so sorry and I truly mean it , that you have been so unwell and your body clock is misbehaving! It's not funny! It happens to me occasionally in summer because of Hayfever! It's gone now! ( not summer - Hayfever!) .
Laine - I do have a social life! I talk to my husband daily! I occasionally wander into the garden ! I talk to the neighbours too!
Please may I just say that my lovely granddaughter got excellent GCSE results today . Her big sister got great A Level Results last week! Have we all been stressed - never!!! You can't keep a proud Grandma down! Sorry!
Love to all, Myra ( Friend of Maureeen!) xxx
Hi Sue. WOW !!! I really love todays card !!! I have the Infinity Striplet Die and I have used it a few times now. It is absolutely fab !!! Such a fantastic design. I also have the Lucy die so no excuses for me !!! I would love to have a go at creating my own version of this card with these dies. Like you say Sue it would make a fab card for a man. I love making cards like this one. I love the colour combo to. Thank you for sharing. Sending lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
Thank you to everyone who left kind comments about our Charlie doggie. All our pets have been very loved and spoilt rotten. They have all been part of our family. Losing two of them just seven weeks apart has been so hard to deal with. We were hoping to have Charlie dog ( the youngest of them all) for at least another year or two. We are hoping it won't be really bad news. We will just have to wait and see. Sending everyone lots of love from Tres x x x
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Very Quick Short Comment I've Been Out All Day, But I Had To Mention How Much
I Loved Today's Card, I loved The Fabulous Background You'd Created Using The Infinity Striplet
Then The Exceptional Focal Point Using The Lucy Die Sue, You Are So Extremely Clever At
Transforming The Dies To Create Different Images.
Thank You For Sharing Today's Extremely Beautiful Card
Sue, Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather
Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗

Hi Sue. Like this card very much and as I have the dies can try my own version. Thank you for sharing. Xx
This is certainly a very dramatic card. I like the design and the colours used.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous card. Love this, would not have attempted three different colours, tend to stick to one or two but this definitely works. Brilliant.

Hi Sue,
I love this card for its simplicity and elegance. It looks easy to make it and I think that comes in handy for those with little skills or experience. A card with striplet only is a winner from the start because all your striplets are so versatile. Lucy is a nice addition for this particular card (and not only), but it doesn’t mean that if you don’t have it, like me, you cannot make this card. Just choose the right shape and place for the sentiment. Thank you, Sue, for making and sharing cards like this one, giving hopes to those who love crafting but are less gifted than you.
Marie – Wish you many, many happy b-days! I have a feeling that your life’s story is very interesting and I am hoping that you’ll share it with us, whenever you want. Glad you enjoy your card classes and you found this blog, where we all share the love and passion for crafting.
Pam – Hope you had a better day and no manager bothered you.
Elaine – Of course Andrew is trying to be brave and telling you he’s better when he’s not. He knows how much you have on your plate, so fewer worries from his side will be beneficial for you. What he doesn’t know is that a mother can feel her child’s pain even no words are said. Hope he had a better day today and tomorrow will be a day with less pain for everybody. Hugs for you all.
Tres - Pets hold special places in our hearts. Wish you better days for the three of you.
Donita – I am so sorry, I had no idea you are not well. I read every day (with pleasure) your comments and didn’t know /feel you are in pain. Wish you days free of pain. Take care. A gentle hug for you.
PP – Oh, dear, for sure I am not envy you for anything. Happy to be across the ...pond (let’s say). It is safer.
Laine – Are you playing Cat-and–mouse game with PP?
Hugs to all that may need one and to those who would like one.

Super design. I love the Infinity Striplet. These colours aren't singing to me but like Diane's suggestion of making this design in someone's football team colours.
Take care everyone.
A really striking card Sue. I just love this striplet. It's my favourite, favourite!! The colours are exactly right for my husband's football team. So, will have to keep this one in mind for his next birthday. Hugs x P Austen
Hi Sue, love this card, the infinity die is fab too love the colours x
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonetts.
I really love this card and I do like to play around with my striplet dies. ( spellcheck just got me on Wilsonetts and Strplet!)
PP Thank you for the hugs and advice on my stock of glitter.
CCM If I told you all of my life story I'm sure it would be for adults only! lol.
I have made a card for one of my Granddaughters Birthday (not until OCT) and she is a staunch
Blackpool fan so I used their colours on the card, now I sort of wish I had used the striplets so maybe I'll diary it for next year. (maybe I'll have popped my clogs by then eh?)
I made a basic card to take with me to class yesterday and had pre-cut the embellishments on my Gemini to make a fishing card. I did all the matting and then found that I'd left the card at home Senior moments abound!!
Lovely unusual card
I do like this card, less is more sometimes!
