Hello crafters and Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends! Today's card uses one of my favourite products; the
Creative Expressions Crackle Glaze. I started by covering a piece of black card with the
crackle glaze and allowed it to dry overnight. Once dry, I mixed
Warm White Chalk paint with
Chocolate Gold metallic lustre paints (both Cr. Exp. products) and painted it on to the dry card. Within a few minutes, the cracks appear (it is so cool to watch!) I cut the piece into three strips and mounted them on to a piece of black card. Next I cut the tool box out of tan card and inked through the die with
Vintage Photo distress Oxide ink. I cut several of the tools from the
In The Tool Box set to add to the tool box. I used a
silver paint pen to add detail to each of them. I used the
Stitched Pegboard Frames die to create a pegboard piece for some additional tools. I used the silver paint pen on them before gluing them to the pegboard backing and attaching it to the top of the card. I cut the sentiment from
tan card and added it to a
double hexagon frame cut from
mocha and tan card. The card was completed with milk, tan and mocha mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card Sue, lovely for all our males. Hapoy Thanksgiving to you and all.
Carmen, very sad news about little Jacob. I hope he had his wonderful last Chrustmas that he wanted. His poor family will be devastated but I hope they take comfort from the fact that he will be running with the Angeks whilst he waits for them. Maureen is right, Bette Davus or the doctor, give your moaning co worker the choice.
Donita, you sound so tired, you really need some me time, you are working too hard. Slow down please, don't want you I'll.
Maureen sounds good to me, you have moved into the posh zone.
Sharon, Cyprus is gorgeous, have a wonderful time, you can have a low key Christmas this year. The sun will do you good.
June hooe the crafting group went well.
Elaine, I'm sorry Mary isn't coping well, hope she was a little better when you went to see her. Hapoy that Andrew is feeling a little better.
My Mickey Mouse card is finished, I'm really pleased with it. It is 8 X 8 so quite striking, she will love it.
Izzy I too would love to see deer but I know they can be quite destructive. I would buy apples too for them.
Daily hug basket overflowing, help yourselves. A few for poorly and missing friends too.
Morning Sue, what a fabulous card. I am sure most of our male friends would love to receive a card like this.
Really like the Crackle glaze.
Wendyx
Great card. I love all the little tools this set makes.

Hi Sue
Happy Thanks giving.
Great card for the men in our lives. X
Hello Sue,
Happy Thanksgiving Sue and to any other Americans on the blog. I'm thankful that I have found you and have discovered this blog. You definitely have been an inspiration to me and have helped me to grow in my card making.
Your card today is just the right thing for all of the males out there. The die set is wonderful with all of the tools and other items that a DIY guy (or gal) would use.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Beverly
Good morning Sue,

Great card for a guy, or a girl who likes DIY.
Annette x
Good Morning Sue and Happy Thanksgiving to you and Beverly and Stephanie plus other American fellow Particraft addicts hope your day is full of celebrations and happiness shared with family and friends.
This such a brilliant fun sample I love it and keeping everything crossed it's one of a few dies I shall be owner of next month, goodness knows I've dropped enough hints since launch lol.
We bought our daughter a pink DIY kit with the basic necessities she would need when she left home for her first nursing position in Yorkshire and I'm sure she started married life with more tools than her husband who asked to borrow her screwdriver even before they got engaged ! What does that tell you lol.
So I'll send extra happy hugs to you today Sue and if you are celebrating in warm sunny Florida then I hope your day is as wonderful as you are xxx
Fabulous card Sue, great for any DIYer xx hazel
GM Sue. Great guy card!

Hi Sue
This card is amazing! I love the peg board die which has just gone to the top of my shopping list! Thanks for sharing.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.
Have a great day everyone.

Hello Sue, Happy Thanksgiving Day to you and all. Great card for all the males and I think all the ladies into DIY would enjoy this one. X
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a stunning card Sue, I have this die set and have made quite a few cards using it, one of the things I like the most are the little nails, yes 4 little nails from a tiny little die.
Happy thanksgiving to you Sue, Beverly, Stephanie and anyone else from across the pond, enjoy your celebrations.
Pam I reiterate all you have said, Carmen, so sorry about Jacob.
Yes I enjoyed yesterday at craft group, had lots of laughs and I so much like helping people and teaching them what I know (not a lot as some people might say ha ha), one of my ladies is 82 and she had her hip replaced about 8 weeks ago, she came back yesterday and is walking around really well, talk about put me to shame. Then went to the Diabetic course, it is very interesting and informative, makes you think what you eat too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue & Happy Thanksgiving,
What a great fun card for the men which I am sure they would love as they can get quite possessive over their tools. Yvonne xx

Morning Sue, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope you have a great day. I love today's card, I wish these dies had been around last year, as they so,be so many problems for those 'man' cards.
Very high winds and rain here last night, the few leaves that were left on the trees are now down, which makes the roads and pavements very slippy, so please take care everyone if you are out and about today.
Love Rosemarie X X
Hi Sue,

Hi Sue,
Happy Thanksgiving to you and all our cousins across the pond - if you're all crafting then who's cooking the dinner?...lol
It's been ages since I did a crackle glaze background, had so much fun a few years ago doing lots of these in different colours and then used them all up so thanks for the reminder to make some more - love those little tools and the toolbox itself - all so realistic and a perfect card for all our DIYers.
Izzy

Happy Thanksgiving to you Sue and all American friends out there.
Great card Sue and wonderful guy dies.
Love Val in Spainxxx
Hi Sue
Lovely card for the men in our lives and a great background.
Another technique for a crackle background I have used in the past is:-
Cover your card in a layer of paint, allow to dry completely.
Then cover the card in quite a thick layer of PVA glue (do NOT allow to dry) and immediately cover in a different colour of paint.
As the glue dries the top layer of paint shrinks and the bottom colour is revealed giving a crackled effect.
x
Hi Sue, Great card . love Jean Z xxxx
Another stunning card for a man!
Hi Sue, a brilliant card. Great not just for males but for anyone who does who does DIY or works as a carpenter, plumber etc.
Hi Sue, Happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and to all our American friends on here also. I love this card and the die set with all the tiny tools (I am a sucker for anything miniaturised). The crackle background is perfect and looks a little like planks of weathered wood. Sadly I have no excuses to buy this set and will just have to admire your cards. My father was a carpenter but he has been gone a long time now and hubby was great at DIY until his stroke last year so I wouldn't want to rub his nose in it.
After two days of ceaseless rain today we have a lovely bright blue sky with white puffy clouds but there is snow on the hills behind Norah's hills. I'll be quite happy if it just stays there :-)
Have a good day everyone.
Frances
This is cool! I wish one of my sons was 'handy' - we gave them each a set of tools when they left home yet they still seem to call on Dad when something needs doing!!!
Very nice card sue. Laura O Springfield
Hello Sue
I have just used these dies for my husband's birthday tomorrow and yes I have used the nails so you know my feelings on your lovely creation.
Huggles to those who need them.Happy thanksgiving to all our lovely wilsonettes

Hi Sue. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Even though this is a perfect card for those difficult males, I can see things that could easily be used in other ways and would love to see them used with your new steampunk dies.

Happy thanksgiving to you Sue.
This is a fab card, great for the handy men in our lives
Hi Sue. Happy thanksgiving to you and all your American friends. Fabulous mens card Sue. I have these dies so this is great inspiration.
Carmen, such sad news about Jacob. Life is very unfair sometimes. Xx
A great man's card especially for the one who has no interest in sports.
Teresa
Hello Sue,
I love this card! Each and every tool is perfect. As for the toolbox - I love that too! I’m afraid none of my family actually sparkles when it comes to DIY but they try! I will get lots of use out of the gardening sets though!
I kept meaning to say that it’s very helpful having ideas in the latest Die packaging! I’ve kept them carefully.
Good to see you pop in , Laine! I miss you! Give my love to PP when you next speak to her. I do hope she is feeling stronger each day!
Happy Thanksgiving Sue to you and all our friends from across the pond! Don’t want to mention names in case I forget someone!
I think it’s a lovely Day to have! If only there was more Thanksgiving and less moaning !!
Love to everyone,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx
Hi Sue. Happy Thanksgiving. This is a great card and one I will definitely be using for inspiration. Thank you xx
Hi Sue, A fabulous male card, lovely colours.
Happy Thanksgiving to you Sue and all our Friends in the US.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hello Sue,
Such a striking card today and it would be perfect for my son in law.
Pam, I'll never be posh - George will see to that ha ha. Glad the Mickey Mouse card is a success, I'm sure she will be over the moon.
June S, what - no craft club today ha ha.
Elaine, hope Andrew is feeling well.
Alimecca, I'm so pleased with all the work Peter has done and he's worked so hard. It was all his idea, I didn't ask.
June H, hope the hospital tests come back o.k.
Pat L, trouble with decorating before Christmas is that people spill things, knock things over and before you know it, it's time to decorate again ha ha. Still, it looks good until then!
Susan B, I'll have to try that paint and glue trick.
Fluffycat, Brrr keep the snow up there please.
Myra, I won't moan anymore, I promise (oops my nose is growing)!
Donita, I hope you aren't quite so tired today.
Carmen, thinking of you and the family.
Love to all and a Happy Thanksgiving to all over there!
Maureen (Friend of Myra) xxx
great male card. made for a lovely demo on telly, hugs xx
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What an adorable card, i just love all the miniature tools, they are so cute and dinky. Perfect card for the handyman or DIY enthusiast, sadly none of my family have ever shown the slightest bit of interest in using their hands constructively, in fact its safe to say that we are all as much use as a chocolate teapot! But I will appreciate your card designs from afar as I phone for a professional to complete the work at ten times the cost!
Happy Thanksgiving to you Sue, your family and all of our American Wilsonettes, hope you are enjoying the day and all that turkey with the trimmings..what desserts do you traditionally have, and do you use my personal favourite, bread sauce with your turkey?
Ooh, that’s made me hungry! I had my second visit to the dentist today:-( This time i had three fillings at the opposite side, it wasn’t as bad as the last time other than my jaw kept dislocating as I tried to open my mouth wide enough However, my mouth is swollen and half of it is still numb so i just tried to eat a little git of custard....oops, i meant BIT of custard!....and it dribbled down my face, so not a good look!
Carmen, i was saddened to hear about little Jacob, i had been hoping for that miracle but i suppose it wasn’t to be:-( I do hope that he enjoyed his last Christmas with his family though and my thoughts and prayers are with them now as they learn to cope without their little ray of sunshine. Life can be so cruel at times, your whining colleague needs to get a grip of himself , nobody likes the ageing process, me in particular:-), however we have been blessed with chances that poor little souls like Jacob will never get to experience, theres a valuable lesson in gratitude somewhere in there! Hope you are wellxxx
Maureen, so Operation DIY SOS has been completed! What a relief for you, i would never use the cooker or hob again just so that it stays pristine, shiny and perfect, tell George its takeaways from now on if he wants anything to eat in the future:-)
Myra, I didn’t have time for a proper post earlier, had my dental appointment, thought i’d Better redeem myself now though. I was meant to speak with Yvonne on Tuesday but our schedules keep clashing...at least that’s my excuse:-) I told her that you were all concerned about her health and wellbeing, i thought it might make her feel wanted and missed, after all, a little white lie now and again wont send me to Hell, or will it?
Elaine, I don’t know what i would do without access to the internet, especially with all the sales going on at the minute. I do hope your laptop is fixed soon, its so frustrating. What’s this about a fall, are you okay?
Tracy, sending special hugs to you my dear
Rosemary, epilepsy is a real strain, the seizures can be so life altering if they aren’t under proper control, you bear this all with such courage and fortitude...i could never tolerate the medication, body weight is too low, so I salute you for persevering with it and hopefully they will find your perfect level soon and the seizures will diminish accordingly, Got part of my Strictly outfit earlier this week, its a leopard print fur coat from Frasers, only the dress, shoes and handbag to go now, waiting for the Sales, hugs.
Saba, you would LOVE the shoes and handbag i have my eyes on, they are from LK Bennett and are bronze and glittery, Wowzers!....no, you’re not borrowing them until I have worn them to Strictly!:-) I hate real Christmas trees, i prefer really bushy white frosted artificial ones because they are thicker, lush and don’t create a mess. Since we moved we have only been able to put up a 3ft fibre optic white one, our two large ones remain in the loft sadly because we have too much furniture in our Lounge for them to fit, I cant believe that its almost time to put them up again, how time flies as you get more wrinkly:-)

Hi Sue
Fabulous card for all the D.I.Y experts in our lives love it.

Hi again, sorry if my comment seems a bit disjointed but I had to delete a lot of it....went way over the word limit yet again i’m Afraid and have spent a good 20mins trying to delete half of it:-(
Pam, hope things have settled down at work for you and that you’ve had no recent flare ups, hugsxxx
Donita, worried that everyone is telling you to slow down, are you okay?
Frances, yes, Norah’s Hills were breathtaking today, and the mountains in the distance were also dappled with snow glistening in the sunshine....i hate all of the torrential rain, give me cold, sunny, frosty days any day of the week! Last night Darcey forced me to go out with her in a downpour just so she could go to the toilet, some would say i was barmy and they are probably right! She.s currently protesting under my bed because i had the audacity to change my duvet cover yesterday and she objects to the clean new sheets, she keeps giving me the evils:-), am I alone with this peculiarity?
Extra hugs to all my blog besties and to those in need....apologies again for such a long comment but I didn’t want to leave anyone outxxx
Laine1972xxx
Such an incredible masculine card! I love the background! ❤️ TFS!
Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating!
A great men's card! xx
Hello Sue,
Brilliant card for our pesky males. Not for my hubby though he's rubbish at diy! Love the dinky little tools hanging on the peg board, and crackle glaze background is brilliant. Happy thanksgiving to you and all our lovely American Wilsonettes.
Elaine, I used to work at a hospital in the U.K. and believe you me it was a nightmare finding a parking spot especially on a late shift and we had to pay for the privilege.
Lorraine I love the sound of your shoes, please please can you send them on to me when you've finished with them, I have the perfect outfit to go with them! Your trip to the dentist sounds horrendous, rather you than me. So happy to see you back.
Pam it's time to fess up. I've been having a few problems with my back, over the last few weeks I've had numerous visits to my GP and an orthopaedic consultant plus twice weekly physio otherwise know as torture treatment and today I had a C T scan. The results are good so tonight I'm a happy bunny.
Love and hugs for all

A wonderful card today for the DIY people in our lives, my George would have loved it.I once bought a pair of wire twisters (In my doll making days) and put a label on that read MINE, I caught him using it and he said "It's MINE, it says so on the label" Oh what happy memories.
Have a great day everyone.
Marie P. Now the dreaded robot thingy!!!
Wonderful male card! What a great idea for the background. Oh dear - New products to acquire. But these - I just have to have them! Thank you for a great tutorial and a wonderful blog.
This card is so adorable if that is ok to use to describe a “guy card”. I need this set . My hubby and BIL are good with tools. Even if not, I think any fellow would enjoy this card.
Thanksgiving was great. We got to walk on the beach Wednesday and then Thursday my BIL smoked a turkey and my sister and I cooked. Lorraine, I don’t know bread sauce. We made dressing out of focciaca bread and have gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry/ pear sauce, and a salad with roasted vegetables. We had apple pie ala mode for dessert.
I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a good one.
Stay safe and warm,
