A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! I thought today's video would help show you just another way in which to use the Stained Glass dies. You can easily glitter the pieces and then cut them up to use in a number of ways in your cards and projects.
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Lovely card Sue. Gorgeous. This is what I call a Christmas card, stunning. Julie Laz,such good news that you have a new grandsonJacob,he will bring you so much love and happiness as does his big brother. Go on Grandma enjoy those cuddles. Donita, thank you for keeping us updated about Jacob, such a brave little boy, he is in my prayers. Sam, I hope you know how much you are appreciated, see you can't go on holiday for 6 months at a time, whatever would we do over that period. I loved Pawprints4 description of you, Wikipedia Sam, suits you down to the ground. Wonderful. Elaine, hope all is going well for you and the family., my love to you all. Rosemary, it is good you are back, hope all is well with you too. Myra, you have had a lovely time, so happy you have been spoiled. Thank you all for the support, I got weepy at work yesterday, went to see GP and BL is up again. Can't win. Must try to forget about it, what will be will be. Hugs to all,especially all poorly and missing friends, Jacob too.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a wonderful card today, really nice, and a good way of using the poinsettia's, must try this one. I think I will wait for Sam to do her magic and then use the details she lists out.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above. I am concerned for you, your health is so important and you should not have this worry hanging over your head, no wonder your BP etc. are up, are you likely to have the twins round this weekend or something like it to help take your mind off of work, hope so. special hugs.
Special prayers and hugs for Jacob.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Happy Saturday Sue. There is no way you know this was part of your Stained Glass collection had you not told us in the heading, your imagination (and of course designs) are incredible. Talk about versatile - does that even get anywhere near to describing your dies ? Looking forward to your tutorial and reading 'our Sam's extra help with step by step written instruction)
Whatever your day brings Sue hope it's full of laughter positivity love and happiness xxx
Good Morning Sue What beautiful card and such a different way to use the die.I have made all my Christmas cards but I must give this a try. Thank you for sharing this idea. Jan x
Great card. I would never have guessed it was part of the stained glass collection. I must try this one. Hope everyone has the best day possible. Crafty hugs, D xx
Good morning Sue. Fab-u-lous card, can't wait to watch the video. I love all your stained glass dies and enjoy using them in different ways, so this is right up my alley. Pam, please try not to worry, your health is the most important thing. Hugs to all. Sue xxx.
What an absolutely beautiful card. I love the construction with the poinsettia just peeping through adding another dimension. Really lovely it. I shall watch your video later.
I do appreciate the time and effort you put in to these videos Sue. It is so nice to watch someone demonstrate that really knows what they are doing and also without the added distractions of the presenters as in the tv demos. Not that they aren't entertaining but we keep getting taken off what you are showing us to other things. Sometimes I just want to watch everything that you do even if you are only heating embossing. LOL!
Have a simply lovely day Sue and everyone else on the blog.
Loved the video! Nice to see how you snip those Holly Swirls into useful bits for tucking and filling. I especially like the little curl coming out of the top.
Pam, excellent decision to forget any worries. I could help you because I'm getting real good at forgetting things.
Don't want to take credit for something I didn't do, so you might have meant Carmen, or Saba, or Elaine, who updated us on the progress of Jacob, the boy who loves penguins. As opposed to Jacob, the new little grandson of Julie Laz. Congratulations!
Poor Laine, four teeth at the same time! You poor thing! I would console myself for a week with milkshakes.
Way to go, Jan on the Fosse!!! All your Christmas cards done! Why is it that as age slows us down, time starts galloping?
Morning Sue. WOW What a fantastic card. This one is a must to try. The colour's are very classic Christmas. Thank's for the video. Best Wishes Denise T x
Hi Sue A beautiful card. I can't wait to watch the video but will have to wait as I'm helping at Cygnets this morning - the youngsters are marzipan and icing Christmas cakes, should be fun. B xx
Morning Sue. Beautiful card and interesting video. Would never think to chop up the poinsettia stained glass die in this way. Pam, sad to read you are still having a miserable time at work. Hope your weekend raises your spirits. Xx
Good Morning Sue. WOW a stunning card this morning . Thank you for sharing a video on another way to use the Stained Glass die. I am going to pop the kettle on watch the video. crafty hugs and well wishes to all.... Wendy

Hi Sue - this card is absolutely beautiful and one I would love to make as well as receive. Red poinsettias are the top of my list at Christmas. Love the elegance of this card. Sending best wishes YvonneMayxx
Good Morning Sue. So what a brilliant idea cutting the dies to a peekaboo stunning card. I love it and so very well done Sue. The stained glass dies are not my favourites (they are nice but not for me) but I think you may have just changed my mind a little here. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

I am so excited as john has bought me a Gemini with it comes 16 dies and 3 embossing folders it will be arriving by Wednesday , so with the money i was saving i am able to buy me a few dies , i would love the shadow box die and the stitched rectangle so i hope the shop has them in stock .

What a wonderful card. Love it. I would never have thought of cutting up the stained glass die, though I do have it. Loved the video. There is nothing about this card I do not love. I have had my eyes on that embossing folder for ages, but there is always something else to buy instead that it gets forgotten, I think I will have to seek this out properly!
Pam, sorry to hear you are still so stressed. Easier said than done, but you’re right to try and forget about horrible bosses! ( I know because I had one, in the end I just resigned and although much happier I’m still a bit bitter). My blood pressure came down though!

To My Wonderful Dear Friend sue, Another Truly Magnificent Card Plus An Outstanding Video Tutorial, Where You’ve Shared Each/Every Step With Us These Are Extremely Beautiful Cutting Dies. (It’s Quite strange As Yesterday I Was Using The Poinsettia Cutting Die/With Paper Piercing I’m Thrilled With The Results, (Thanks To You Sharing All Your Knowledge With Us) Next Thing I’m Going To Try Is With The Silk Glitters (Which I Purchased To Go With My Robin Stained Glass) Products Used In Today’s Remarkable Card:- “Creative Expression Coconut White/Black/Red/Gold Foundation Card” “Creative Expression Mounting Foam” “Creative Expression Cosmic Shimmer Specialists Dries Clear Acrylic Glue” “Creative Expression Wild Poinsettia Embossing Folder Designed By Sue Wilson” “Creative Expression Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow” “Creative Expression Cosmic Shimmer Red/Green Fine Silk Glitters” Star’s In Today’s Luxurious Card:- “Sue Wilson’s Double Pierced Oval Die Set” (From The Noble Collection 9 Cutting Dies In .A. Set, 9 Cutting Dies In .B. Set) “Sue Wilson’s Holly Swirl Die Set” (From The Festive Collection 1 Cutting Die) “Sue Wilson’s Poinsettia Stained Glass Die Set” (From The Festive Collection 1 Cutting Die) “Sue Wilson’s Merry Little Christmas Die Set” (From The Festive Collection 1 Cutting Die) Sue, You Began By Creating Today’s Phenomenal Masterpiece By Taking A Piece Of White Card Then You Cut Out The Centre Using A Double Stitched Pierced Nobel Oval Cutting Die, This Created An Aperture Within The Centre Of Your Tremendous Card, You Mentioned That We Must Always Do Our Cutting Before We Emboss, You Placed Your Aperture Card Inside The Exceptional Wild Poinsettia Embossing Folder. Then You Applied Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Acrylic Glue Around The Edges Of Your Card Then You Added The Extremely Beautiful Iced Snow. Sue, Then You Cut Out Your Poinsettia Cutting Die In Black Card, Then You Added Acetate To The Back Then You Turned It Over You Added Your Dries Clear Acrylic Glue To Each Section Starting With The Darkest Colour First (As You’ve Shown In Previous Video Tutorial) You Added Your Red/Green Fine Silk Glitter Once Dry As They Were On Acetate They Were So Easy To Cut Out. Sue, You Then Added Mounting Foam To The Back Plus All Around Your Aperture Once You Removed The Tape You Started To Add Your Cut Out Poinsettias, Adding Glue To Secure Them If Need Be. Then You Placed This Over A Piece Of White Vellum, (To Soften) Also Adding A Thin White Stitched Oval Frame To Your Oval Aperture, You Added Your Large Luxurious Poinsettia To The Bottom Of Your Card Also Adding In The Stupendous Gold Holly Swirls, Then Adding The Truly Superb Sentiment “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” Which You Cut in Gold/Black For Shadow. Then Placing Onto Your White Famous/Signature/Piercing Plus Red/BlackWhite Mat/Layer Sue, Thank You For Yet Again Another Luxurious Card/For The Extremely Informative Video Tutorial I Love Your Video Tutorials I Watch Them Time/Time Again Sue, My Wonderful Dear Friend Take Great Care Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗 Love From Sam xxx Thank You To My Wonderful Friends For The Extremely Kind Comments Re:- My Comments It Means A Great Deal To Me...................
Hi Sue. What a very good idea and the result is stunning. Sometimes it is good to re-visit some of the older techniques - I used this when I very first started paper crafting by stamping onto acetate and gluing glitter onto the reverse.
Hi Sue What a gorgeous card today and a great video to help us. This is such a beautiful poinsettia die isn't it. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Pam sending you a big hug. Do relax over the weekend and try to forget about work if you can. Xxx
Hello Sue, What a stunning card and an informative video to go with it. Love your acetate backed poinsettias they look so effective and how clever to be able to use the stained glass die to cut them from. I couldn't work out how you had glued the acetate to the flower though without any glue showing through. Maybe the dries clear just doesn't show. Your holly swirl looks amazing and such a useful accent being able to snip it and use all the bits.
Pam it's not surprising you got weepy at your meeting and that your BP went up with it all. Your manager should be thoroughly ashamed of herself. Bet your daughter is spitting feathers. Elaine you lucky lady, mind you, you really deserve something nice for a change. Have fun with it, hope the shop had the dies you wanted. Sam, love your new name, Wikipedia, you are a font of knowledge. I could see you on mastermind - specialist subject - Sue Wilson's dies!! Rosemary it's nice to see you back, you sound much more cheerful lately, hope that means you are feeling better. Love and hugs for all Saba xxx
Hello Sue This card is truly beautiful I love it thank you and thank you Sam I didn't pick up that you cut first then emboss. Pam I hope you are managing to have a relaxing weekend and forgetting work we are all routing for you.Rosemary so glad you are feeling better and back with us we have missed you.Elaine how lovely of John to surprise you.Is your craft shop anywhere near me I have never found anywhere that sells creative expressions.
I do like the way in which you have used this stained glass die illustrating an alternative use. Love the card.
It reminds me that I need to start my Christmas cards but this is taking second place to decorating MDF baubles to go on to a Christmas tree our Breast Cancer support group displays in a local church each year ..... it doesn't help that the new tree is twice the size of our prrvious one so I have a lot to do. aaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!
Hi Sue lovely card what an ingenious way to use the poinsettia stained glass die! Pam I'm not surprised you felt weepy at the meeting you've had more than enough of that heartless manager Hope you can relax over the weekend Delainecwhat a lovely gift well deserved for you enjoy playing with it Rosemary good to have you back with us Saba love your idea of Sam on mastermind surely she would win With her expert knowledge of Sues dies! Hope you're all enjoying he weekend
Hi Sue Stunning card Sue I love how you cut the poinsettia up only you could think of that brilliant. I haven't watched video yet will watch tomorrow Love Lynda Brock xx
Lovely card Sue. Will try and watch the video tomorrow. Tried today but it kept stopping . Probably my internet. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. Hope you are feeling a bit better now Pam. Echoing your comments. Elaine. I am so pleased to hear about your Gemini. Enjoy. Hope you manage to get the dies you want. Glad you enjoyed your few days away Myra and had a lovely birthday. You deserved it. Hugs to all who need them.

What a wonder and unique card. I would have never thought of using the poinsettia die in this manner. Thank you for your great videos. You always make projects look "doable". Pam, I hope you have a relaxing, happy weekend. Elaine, you had quite a wonderful surprise. Yes, now there is mad money for more dies to use in your new toy. We had a lunch with a yummy dessert made by my younger sister (Pecan Pie Cheesecake Squares) for my Mom's birthday. Nice to see everyone together. We had made her special cards yesterday. Have a great weekend everyone! Stephanie K SC/USA
Beautiful card. Thanks for the video. You make this card look so achievable. Love the poinsettias and the Holly Swirl.

To My Wonderful Dear Friend sue,
Another Truly Magnificent Card Plus An Outstanding Video Tutorial, Where You’ve Shared
Each/Every Step With Us These Are Extremely Beautiful Cutting Dies.
(It’s Quite strange As Yesterday I Was Using The Poinsettia Cutting Die/With Paper Piercing
I’m Thrilled With The Results, (Thanks To You Sharing All Your Knowledge With Us)
Next Thing I’m Going To Try Is With The Silk Glitters (Which I Purchased To Go With My Robin Stained Glass)
Products Used In Today’s Remarkable Card:-
“Creative Expression Coconut White/Black/Red/Gold Foundation Card”
“Creative Expression Mounting Foam”
“Creative Expression Cosmic Shimmer Specialists Dries Clear Acrylic Glue”
“Creative Expression Wild Poinsettia Embossing Folder Designed By Sue Wilson”
“Creative Expression Cosmic Shimmer Iced Snow”
“Creative Expression Cosmic Shimmer Red/Green Fine Silk Glitters”
Star’s In Today’s Luxurious Card:-
“Sue Wilson’s Double Pierced Oval Die Set”
(From The Noble Collection 9 Cutting Dies In .A. Set, 9 Cutting Dies In .B. Set)
“Sue Wilson’s Holly Swirl Die Set” (From The Festive Collection 1 Cutting Die)
“Sue Wilson’s Poinsettia Stained Glass Die Set” (From The Festive Collection 1 Cutting Die)
“Sue Wilson’s Merry Little Christmas Die Set” (From The Festive Collection 1 Cutting Die)
Sue, You Began By Creating Today’s Phenomenal Masterpiece By Taking A Piece Of White Card Then You Cut
Out The Centre Using A Double Stitched Pierced Nobel Oval Cutting Die, This Created An Aperture Within The Centre
Of Your Tremendous Card, You Mentioned That We Must Always Do Our Cutting Before We Emboss, You Placed
Your Aperture Card Inside The Exceptional Wild Poinsettia Embossing Folder.
Then You Applied Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Acrylic Glue Around The Edges Of Your Card Then You
Added The Extremely Beautiful Iced Snow.
Sue, Then You Cut Out Your Poinsettia Cutting Die In Black Card, Then You Added Acetate To The Back
Then You Turned It Over You Added Your Dries Clear Acrylic Glue To Each Section Starting With The Darkest
Colour First (As You’ve Shown In Previous Video Tutorial) You Added Your Red/Green Fine Silk Glitter
Once Dry As They Were On Acetate They Were So Easy To Cut Out.
Sue, You Then Added Mounting Foam To The Back Plus All Around Your Aperture Once You Removed The
Tape You Started To Add Your Cut Out Poinsettias, Adding Glue To Secure Them If Need Be.
Then You Placed This Over A Piece Of White Vellum, (To Soften) Also Adding A Thin White Stitched Oval Frame
To Your Oval Aperture, You Added Your Large Luxurious Poinsettia To The Bottom Of Your Card Also Adding In The
Stupendous Gold Holly Swirls, Then Adding The Truly Superb Sentiment “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”
Which You Cut in Gold/Black For Shadow.
Then Placing Onto Your White Famous/Signature/Piercing Plus Red/BlackWhite Mat/Layer
Sue, Thank You For Yet Again Another Luxurious Card/For The Extremely Informative Video Tutorial
I Love Your Video Tutorials I Watch Them Time/Time Again
Sue, My Wonderful Dear Friend Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather
Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗

Thank You To My Wonderful Friends For The Extremely Kind Comments Re:- My Comments
It Means A Great Deal To Me...................
Lovely, and I actually have all the items needed to make this.
Beautiful card, it's quite regal, the poinsettias are simply stunning.
Hi Sue,
Stunning card.
Best wishes
Beautiful card, I love poimsettias!
So pretty! xxx
Hi Sue
A lovely card today. Your stained glass poinsettias are lovely. Especially like the Your Merry little Christmas.
Hi Sue, This card is really pretty.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue. What a very good idea and the result is stunning. Sometimes it is good to re-visit some of the older techniques - I used this when I very first started paper crafting by stamping onto acetate and gluing glitter onto the reverse.
Lisbeth
Really gorgeous card. X
Hi Sue
What a gorgeous card today and a great video to help us. This is such a beautiful poinsettia die isn't it. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Pam sending you a big hug. Do relax over the weekend and try to forget about work if you can. Xxx
Hello Sue,
I simply LOVE this!
Love, Nanny JooJoo from sunny Scunny xx
Hello Sue,
What a stunning card and an informative video to go with it. Love your acetate backed poinsettias they look so effective and how clever to be able to use the stained glass die to cut them from. I couldn't work out how you had glued the acetate to the flower though without any glue showing through. Maybe the dries clear just doesn't show. Your holly swirl looks amazing and such a useful accent being able to snip it and use all the bits.
Pam it's not surprising you got weepy at your meeting and that your BP went up with it all. Your manager should be thoroughly ashamed of herself. Bet your daughter is spitting feathers.
Elaine you lucky lady, mind you, you really deserve something nice for a change. Have fun with it, hope the shop had the dies you wanted.
Sam, love your new name, Wikipedia, you are a font of knowledge. I could see you on mastermind - specialist subject - Sue Wilson's dies!!
Rosemary it's nice to see you back, you sound much more cheerful lately, hope that means you are feeling better.
Love and hugs for all
Saba xxx
Hello Sue
This card is truly beautiful I love it thank you and thank you Sam I didn't pick up that you cut first then emboss.
Pam I hope you are managing to have a relaxing weekend and forgetting work we are all routing for you.Rosemary so glad you are feeling better and back with us we have missed you.Elaine how lovely of John to surprise you.Is your craft shop anywhere near me I have never found anywhere that sells creative expressions.
I do like the way in which you have used this stained glass die illustrating an alternative use. Love the card.
It reminds me that I need to start my Christmas cards but this is taking second place to decorating MDF baubles to go on to a Christmas tree our Breast Cancer support group displays in a local church each year ..... it doesn't help that the new tree is twice the size of our prrvious one so I have a lot to do. aaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhh!!!!!!
Teresa
Hi Sue lovely card what an ingenious way to use the poinsettia stained glass die!

Rosemary good to have you back with us
Saba love your idea of Sam on mastermind surely she would win With her expert knowledge of Sues dies!

Beautiful card! I love the look of the sentiment and the glossy Poinsettias.
What a wonder and unique card. I would have never thought of using the poinsettia die in this manner. Thank you for your great videos. You always make projects look "doable".
Pam, I hope you have a relaxing, happy weekend.
Elaine, you had quite a wonderful surprise. Yes, now there is mad money for more dies to use in your new toy.
We had a lunch with a yummy dessert made by my younger sister (Pecan Pie Cheesecake Squares) for my Mom's birthday. Nice to see everyone together. We had made her special cards yesterday.
Have a great weekend everyone!
