Hello there my crafty friends! I have a lovely star shaker card for today's card offering! I started by cutting a star aperture out of a piece of antique gold card. I embossed the background with the
Twinkle Twinkle embossing folder to give it texture. I prepared the
star treat cup by adding some gold stars and some
clear micro beads. From a bit of trial and error, I learned that the stars are very static so if you add some micro beads, they will keep the stars from sticking to the treat cup and obscuring the design behind it. I sealed it with a piece of acetate glued to the back, then inserted it to the aperture and taped the edges to the back of the card. I cut the inside of the
Poinsettia Star die in red and backed it in gold, then attached it behind the star treat cup. I cut the outer ring of the star using both the cutting edges and glued it over the top of the treat cup. I stamped my sentiment and embossed it in gold, then cut it out with the Pierced Flag die. I cut three poinsettias and coated the petals with
Red Glitter Kiss. I assembled them and added them around the star.
Gold Holly Swirl pieces were added as accents. White, red and gold mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9" in size. Leave me a comment if you would like a chance to win this one. The drawing winner will be posted on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous card Sue, lovely for the giveaway.
Elaine, I hope Andrew manages to get some rest during his week at the caravan. It is really bad that the council are still putting cost before a tenants safety and security. Methinks you need big guns on your side, time for your MP to step up. Moving to another flat is not the answer for you.
Yvonne, lovely to see your post. I'm sorry that you are having all of these problems, there is nothing worse than not sleeping properly. Hope you feel better soon.
I too had a peek at the new launch, thanks Sam for the tip, it's delightful, now the excitement mounts.
Lesley spoke to work yesterday, she is taking my sick certificate in today, so they didn't ring me. We are supposed to keep in contact 1 per week, they are totally exceeding that. I may have to get in touch with the Union if this persists.
Kelly came over with Dave the puppy last night, he is such a curious little dog. We walked him round the close on his leader although I suspect Kelly was walking me more than him
Hugs to all especially our poorly and missing friends.
Elegant card! Love the colors and textures! Beautiful details!
Morning Sue, what a stunning card, love the whole card, the star is so pretty and the poinsettias with glitter kiss on them really set this card off. I've just git some red glitter kiss and will be using it on all my Christmas flowers. Thank you for the inspiration xx
Wow love it Sue, it is so in your face and gorgeous. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Very ornate, lovely bet it looks amazing in person.
Hello Sue, a really gorgeous card for the giveaway. Perfect colours for the design, red and gold is so rich and opulent. Have a great day all. Bx
Morning Sue.
Wow a beautiful card Thank you.
Good luck all.
Sue I have just seen a preview of your new die and stamp set, they are all brilliant.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a real Christmassy card today, lots of gold and sparkle, love it.
Yes Sue I have seen the new release, wow, I have already pre-ordered a couple that I simply MUST HAVE, yes what am I like......don't answer that.
Pam I reiterate all you have said, so pleased that Lesley is on the case for you, but I believe their policy of contact 1 a week is wrong, if you have a sick not for 3 weeks why should they want to talk to you in between times, that to me is harassment. So pleased you were able to have a little walk with Dave too. Hope you are feeling a little better today.
Off to Craft club today then we are all going out for lunch afterwards to celebrate my birthday which is on Sunday, looking forward to that.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good morning Sue. This is a fabulously stunning card. The colours are so opulent and the tip for using micro beads to help with the static is inspired.
Pan, glad your daughter is on the case but I agree that it's time to get the union involved. You have a sick note, there is no reason for the managers to need to contact you. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
This is a beauty sue this is Christmas a gift for anyone who receives this beauty thank you
Love June xxxxxxxx
Beautiful and elegant.
Lucky the one to win this :))
Lovely card Thank you for the tip about using microbeads with the stars in the treat cup!
Hi Sue
A stunning card.
B xx
Hi Sue,
Beautiful, opulent and elegant card. It is stunning! Great tip about using the micro beads too - thank you.
Pam, glad that Lesley is on the case! I know when I had my knee done originally I was still teaching. I had a sick note for 3 months and every month I had to have a sickness review. The head did one of them on the phone which I later found out was out of order, the other two I had to go into school for them. My sicknote was extended for a couple of weeks and the head was awful about it and tried to bully me so I involved the union and I have to say, the bullying suddenly stopped and the head was really helpful!! He got the shock of his life when the union contacted him! It might work for you too , I hope so anyway. Just concentrate on getting better xx
Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
WOW what a great giveaway card, it is gorgeous. Really striking. Thanks Sue.
Dear Sue and the Lucky Few,
Is it the silky red poinsettias, the gold Holly Swirls, the tiny, well-adjusted (not clingy) stars in the treat cup, the embossed star background, the poinsettia star behind the treat cup or the rich gold, red and white that make this so joyous, so abundant, so promising of wishes fulfilled at Christmas? Yes! Somebody's going to get an early present this year.
I'm psyched to peek at the new collection. Here's a hint to newcomers: Click on the advertiser embedded in Sue's blog. Then look for new products or Sue's name.
Happy Birthday June Smith to you and your twin. I hope everyone gives you something from your wish list!
Glad to hear from Princess Pixie and that Dave is seeing to Grandma Pam's exercise level.
Marion Scott, you've coined a rallying cry: "Decisions will have to be made!"
Love,
Donita
Very Pretty Sue. Just love the glitter in the shaker element.
Love Val in Spain xxx
Good Morning Sue. What a stunning card. It looks very regal and fit for a queen. But then all your cards do. I love all the swirly holly. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue, beautiful card today. Everything about it is gorgeous. Someone will be over the moon to win this one.
Barbara V
A very festive Christmas card
A gorgeous card. Very opulent indeed.
Oh yes Sue! Those stars are full of static as a trail of them in a certain craft room you know well can attest. I left a trail in the gym I frequent after making samples and had to apologise for brightening up their floor! They are worth the effort of using them though, as your card shows. I like the idea of adding microbeads in the treat cup, I guess the friction between the two products helps to keep them separate.
Teresa
This is sooooo pretty. Gorgeous.

Good morning Sue,

Hi Sue,
Totally scrumptuous!...and I bet it looks even more wowsome in the hand, especially those Glitter Kissed poinsettias...

Hi Sue
What a beautiful card today, a very regal treat for us all. I must check my stash as I don't think I have red glitter kiss and these poinsettias really look gorgeous. I do like a poinsettia on my Christmas card and a touch of sparkle would be perfect. Thank you for sharing the treat cup tip, it's always good to know these things. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam echoing your comments today. I think your daughter should keep the union up to date with the current situation, if only for your peace of mind. Good to hear you got some fresh air walking Dave xxx

Hi Sue
A really festive card for your Wednesday Giveaway. I love it and as well as the Star Treat Cup I love the look of the Red poinsettia against the Gold Holly Swirl die.
Lesley S x
Hello Sue,
I'm sorry I didn't comment yesterday but we were out all day and I forgot when I got home!
Today's card is gorgeous! I particularly love the red poinsettias enhanced with the glitter kiss. They almost look satin like on my screen!
I've Pinned it and I have a feeling it will be re-pinned many times.
I like what you have done with the Treat Cups but they are just not for me. Don't know why I just never make or buy shaker cards. Good job we are all different. However - this is the classiest shaker card I've ever seen!
Pam - take care - glad you went " walkies!" Yesterday! Your daughter will look after you! I think she has the bit between her teeth now!!
I need to read everyone's comments! Sorry! Will try to catch up tomorrow, all being well!
Love to all, Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx
Wow!! This is stunning!! Love the red poinsettias! Such a pretty card.
Sue,
This is one GORGEOUS CARD!!!!
One of the prettiest Christmas cards I have ever seen.
Who ever wins this one is very blessed!!!
Thank you for all you do!!!
And all you give us!!
Hi Sue. I am really blown away by this card. Quite apart from all the scrummy dies and embossing folders that you have used, I really love the warm colours and so the sentiment is really appropriate.
Lisbeth
Hello Sue and thank you for offering this stunning card to us - what a treat to receive this !
I can't see me giving this to anyone, I just love it.
wow gorgeous and elegant Sue

Hi Sue,
A beautiful, bright, opulent design that allows the recipient to have great fun with the shaker element.x
Hi Sue, when I saw this card on FB 3 words came to mind, Beautiful, Opulent & Elegant, the same three words used by Alimecca! But what more can I say. Everyone will be so envious of the lucky winner! Thank you!
Hi Sue
What's not to love about this card, it has it all a shaker Christmas card with gorgeous glitter kiss poinsettia, love it
Pam echoing you as always and glad your daughter is putting a stop to work harassing you when you are ill xx
Elaine good to hear Andrew feeling better today and I hope the council can help with the door situation xx
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Gorgeous card, shinny, shinny, and shaky, shaky. A true UK sized card, too. Great suggestion for adding the clear microbeads to the inside of the shaker cup to shop the sequins from sticking. Hoping I am the winner of this card!
Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a gorgeously opulent design, classic Christmas colours working together with your fabulous dies to create a vision of loveliness. It is clear to me that i will have to invest in the star dies quick smart if i want to create similar pieces, i have almost all of your festive release now but these are sadly missing from my collection, not for long though! Good luck my fellow Wilsonettes, one of us is in for a real treat on Saturday, a sample that truly deserves to be framed and displayed with pride.
Ive had a couple of frantic days filled with shopping, GP appointment, a much needed hairdresser make over, opticians, friends popping by, the list goes on....i am currently avoiding cleaning the wooden floors by posting my comment having finally gotten my priorities right!
I am feeling pretty excited at the minute having just been informed by Yvonne that the new collection is on display for pre ordering....she does have her uses at times:-) I wont spoil the surprise for the likes of Izzy by giving the game away but i just have to say that there are a number of designs that i am ecstatic to see, the launch is going to be awesome! I am very concerned about the future state of my bank balance however, purchasing all of my desired pieces is surely going to bankrupt me....not only that, i will really have to prove to my Mum that i actually need more dies, a challenge considering this year has seen my craft room gathering dust as I struggle to find my mojo. I am hoping that some Christmas card creating will shake me from my malaise though, what better way to encourage you back into creating.
Pam, i am appalled by the attitude and practises of your managers, what is clearly a case of gross harassment cannot be allowed to happen when you have a valid sick note from your GP. Get in touch with your Union, you need to be able to recuperate without this interference....well done to your daughter for dealing with their bullying but she needs official help if it persists. Glad you were well enough to get a little fresh air with Dave, hopefully it will do you the world of good. Take care sweetiexxx
Frances, Yvonne and I seem to pass like ships in the night at the moment, miss the banter but even I cant bring myself to kick a dog when it is down:-), she clearly isnt up to any verbal volleyball at the minute, will have to bide my time until she is fighting fit again. How are the girls and Pippin doing at the moment?
Carmen, do you want to fill Yvonne's shoes whilst she is out of action? Can you stand the pace and severity or are you too much of a big girls blouse to cope?:-) Prehaps rather than relying on the unlikelihood of a lottery win to fund our die addiction, we should form an international crime cartel to raise the necessary funds.....i could be the Don and you could be my enforcer/henchman? Just a thought....
Myra, get you, trying to pretend that you actually have a social life:-) Hope that you are well honeyxxx
Elaine, thinking of you and your lovely familyxxx
Rosemary, good luck with the increase in your medication.
June, hope you had a lovely birthday lunchxxx
Sending hugs to my besties, including Yvonne, Donita, Maureen, Saba, Norah, Pat, Theresa, P, and many morexxx
Love and crafty hugs

Seing this festive card has perked me up this morning and put a smile on my face. The recipient of this card will be so happy to receive such a beautiful and festive card. I know I would be!
A stunning card Sue. I love everything about it. And I think the idea of adding microbeads in the shaker part is brilliant. It's something that I really never thought of doing myself. Thank you for the inspiration. Good luck everyone. Xxx
Hello Sue,

Beautiful Card. I love this die set and you have used my favourite embossing folder. I used them both to make my Daughters Birthday Card last week, lol. Had I seen this earlier I would have copied it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sue,
Who won’t love to win this card? It has perfect colors and design. It is elegant and looks expensive. It has many details working beautifully together. I wish to be the winner of this stunning card and all I can say is that the lucky winner is going to be over the moon. Good luck all!
Marie – So sorry for your loss. 14 years ago, or a few days ago, the pain is still in a mother’s heart for the rest of her life. You always can share details of good and not so great moments of your life.You’ll find here many shoulders when you are down and we’ll be happy for you when you are happy. You sold the house … congratulations are in order, right? How do you feel? Happy, relived, sad?
Pam – Glad that Lesley is helping you. Hope you are feeling better today.
June – Hope you enjoyed your lunch out after craft club.
Elaine - Good to hear Andrew had a better day, hopefully today was better than yesterday. I am OK, thanks for asking. Some problems at work but nothing that I cannot handle (there are people trying to implement the rules that they grew up with in certain countries, that attitude: You do it because I said so, no questions to be asked.I always ask questions, if the result of a task will reflect on me and if I have to sign a documents. )
PP - Good to see you back, but sad that you are not well. Take care.
Laine – Oh, Laine, do you really think that I can fill Yvonne’s shoes? Coming from you is an honor. Some of ladies probably are jealous right now. Don’t worry ladies, I will decline this opportunity simply because I am not a princess like PP … and Laine, whatever... Maybe I want to be Don not your henchman? Why do you always dream about high positions only? Don’t bother to answer … because of your blue blood. How could I forget it? Sorry, your highness. (Just trying to make her feel better, ladies. I know she misses PP :). )
Hugs to all that may need one and to those who would like one.
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette

Things have been very difficult, and I have felt very down. After loosing our beautiful doggie Fudge in February, then our beautiful puss cat Charlie in May, we were told our last remaining fur baby Charlie dog has lung cancer. I fell to pieces. A week later we were told the vet had got it wrong and our Charlie dog has a severe lung infection. Another two weeks later and we are now being told he has a suspected heart murmur to. It has been a real roller coaster ride and so difficult for us to try and carry on like normal with all this hanging over us. We now have another week to wait before he can have another, more in depth heart scan. The worry and stress has taken its toll on both of our illnesses, and as a result we have been struggling to keep up with every day life. x x x
Sending lots of love to everyone from Tres x x x

An absolutely stunning card today. Every detail is gorgeous. It just screams Christmas. Thanks for the great tip about adding microbeads to the treat cup. Someone is going to be so happy on Saturday. The rest of us will be green with envy.

Oijjj, we are many, who wish to win your so beautiful card, Sue !!! :-) - and so do I. I would so much like to really see the card and check every little pretty detail out. You really created a real christmassy card with the wonderful magic feel to it.
A happy day to all :-)
Great combination of both colours and textures Sue!! A great inspiration to those of us just beginning to think about C!!!
I love this card Sue and may have a go at making one but I will wait until I'm old and then people will put all my errors down to my age! (lol. I was 86 last birthday)
So sorry for all your problems Pam. Karma will come to those who hurt you eventually.
CCM so pleased to get your comment. I was brought back to the land of my birth kicking and screaming as I had then been in Canada for 22 years and didn't want to leave. However I wont bore everyone with the whole story. I never thought that I would be moving again except in a wooden box.
I'm off to my card class this afternoon which I really enjoy. It's run by volunteers and is for those of us with blindness or low vision.I come and go by taxi but it's worth the cost. Next week I will have been back in England for 7 years WOW!
Healing thoughts and blessings to those who need them.
Just fab, would so love to win this card

Only those that are ready to be part of the new wave needs to be told this secret. Winning the lottery is divine, but you have to strive to all perfection and directions to win the lottery. Winning the lottery is one of the best thing in life, i am a lottery winner, but before i fall into the light , i had some very bad experience in playing the lottery, because my life was at stake and almost useless, then lottery seems to be the only means that come into my head, i played the lottery steadily over 5 years , but i could not win more than $300, but i always see people winning millions of dollars, and because of that i extended my search for victory. Along the line i was been misled, until i was searching for help online, then i found this powerful spell caster called Dr.Fabo. And he promise to help me win the lottery. I contacted Dr.Fabo and he did his normal work, after the spell and all i finally won the lottery of $15,000,000. I am a happy woman today because i am a millionaire, and every mature minded human, that wants to use this method to win the lottery as well should as well contact DR.Fabo without hesitating.
