Hello there my crafty friends! Today's card is a truly simple design and I didn't even think it needed a sentiment! I used the
Petite Petal Striplet inner decorative die and cut it into the card three times, leaving a small gap between each of them and a wider border around. I glued a piece of
acetate to the back and raised it with mounting foam. I attached it to a piece of white card covered with a
sticky adhesive sheet. I glittered the backing with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and attached the striplets over the top. I used
Lilac card and green card (from my stash) and paper pieced all the striplets to add a pop of colour to it. I finished with a white on white pierced mat and layer. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. all for now, Sue x

Beautiful card Sue, makes my Monday a lot more cheery to see this before work.
Elaine, my goodness you were lucky not to have gone down, thank heavens for the stick. I don't like the crowded shops at this time if year. I love the Christmas displays but I don't feel safe any more being jostled in the crowds.
Crewe Trish, you mum is trooper. Your poor hubby, no need to feel bad about it, he is suffering enough.
June, hooe you had a super day and your Christmas party to boot.
I'm okay thanks Maureen, had a bit of a blip Saturday, I was out looking for a new Christmas tree but none compared with the one I've got, it's just so big, fills the bay window recess. Think I will stick with it.
Ann you know you and your brother will have our support, it's what we do and you have done it for us too. Hooe all goes well soon.
Tracey, sending loving hugs to keep you safe.
Hope everyone has a great Monday, keep warm and safe. Hugs aplenty to go around. Special thoughts of our poorly and mussing friends.
Morning Sue.
A very elegant card so lovely Thank You.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue. This really stood out and caught my eye when you show cased it at launch. It's such a simple design but so very pretty. I've seen the most beautiful cards made with this little stunner and it's one I hope to own one day and hopefully show I too can do it justice.
Sending many Monday hugs ☺ xxx

So delicate and pretty Sue, and you’re right about the sentiment. You could put it inside or just write inside. Thank you, have a good day. Xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a pretty card this morning with the lovely lilac and mauve inserts, and you are right Sue it does not need a sentiment at all, it is perfect as it is.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above. I had a great time yesterday made a gift card envelope and also another card with vellum on the front, both were really enjoyable, yes had lots of naughty food, so am sitting in the naughty chair for the rest of the week. Very tired today.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

I love this die and funnily enough created a very similar card last week with this die Like you say it doesn’t need a sentiment It’s gorgeous
Very pretty card, would look lovely framed on a wall.
Good Morning Sue.How lovely is this card. And the colours are beautiful. Last week I treated myself to the dies that you used for one of your Christmas cards that I fell in love with. Then on Saturday I went to our craft shop and I saw this die. I hovered and hesitated, shall I? shan't I? I Thought I was being good as I said no to myself and came home. Now Sue you show us this card and I am sat here kicking myself because I didn't get it. I think you all know where I will be heading for next weekend when I go into Leeds town centre. Lol. Best Wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

You Attached It To A Piece Of White Card Which Was Covered With A Sticky Adhesive Sheet You Then
Glittered The Backing With The Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz Just An Outstanding Product.

Hi Sue, another stunning card. I fell in love with this die when you released it. My Christmas wish list is getting longer by the day so will have to prioritise; must look that word up in the dictionary!
Beautiful colours too. Well , must get on with the packing as we leave for home tomorrow. Hugs xx Pauline in RSA
This is just gorgeous, love it.
Hi Sue, I loved this card and die on launch and it went straight on my list. Wonders will never cease as hubby has just asked me for a list so I will give him plenty to choose from and then I can be really excited on Christmas morning to see what ones he has chosen.
In limbo at the moment as waiting for the men from the gas board to come and fit a smart meter, what's the betting that they come at the end of the time slot rather than the beginning!
Thinking of all poorly and missing Wilsonettes and their families and hoping that everyone has a good day.
Frances
Hi Sue. I really like the simplicity of this card and I really like this die, I don't know how it escaped me, but I am going to have to put it onto my Christmas Present List.
Lisbeth
Hi Sue
Beautiful card, so elegant and the petite petal striplet is gorgeous it's on my wish list along with many others of your wonderful dies
Pam echoing you and sending special hugs to all who need one and an extra special one for Tracy
Love and best wishes to all

Dear Sue and Friends,
This must look sensational in person. It takes my breath away even without being able to see the glitterbitz.
I used several of the Industrial Chic dies for my sister's birthday card, and they all cut wonderfully right out of the package. I'm so happy with that collection.
It's amazing that Christmas shopping is already in full swing over there. We apparently have a rule that you can't start Christmas shopping until Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. Once that happens, avoid the mall at all costs. I agree that online is the way to go.
Pauline, why would you leave RSA just as summer is going into full swing there and winter is coming on strong in the U.K.? I'm guessing to be with family for the holidays. And maybe for the same reason people in Phoenix go elsewhere in the summer -- it's just too hot there.
Love,
Donita
I very much like the simple, clsssic elegance of this card.
Teresa
Very pretty card sue. Laura O Springfield
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. I love the petite petal stripplet you have used. So pretty and delicate in my favourite colour.
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card I love that die it is so pretty. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hello Sue,
What a pretty card today, and you are right, adding a sentiment would be gilding the lily.
Pam, sorry to read that you were "off" on Saturday. We donated our large bushy tree to our daughter and son in law for the same reason as you, and bought a tall, narrow tree with the lights already fitted (which have gradually died on us so we have to add lights now)! Have a good day and don't get stressed.
June S, sounds as though you had a super day, and calories don't count when it's a Christmas "do".
Elaine, hope you get your laptop sorted and all is well with the family.
Pauline A, safe journey home tomorrow.
Fluffycat, hope the Gas Men come sooner rather than later!
Donita, Christmas shopping seems to get earlier and earlier here. We started having Black Friday after copying you a few years ago and some shops have Black Friday all week!!
Tracy, love and prayers.
Laine and PP, thinking of you and sending love.
love to all

Lovely card, quite simple but just as eye catching.
Love Helen xxx
This is truly gorgeous :)
Hi Sue,
What a great way to start a Monday! Thank you.How beautiful is this striplet die set so delicate and so versatile
This simple elegant design makes any card beautiful and I love the paper piecing technique you have done with the flowers, very effective! Such a cute, gorgeous little die.
Have a great week everyone,
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette
Carmen-Dorothy
The striplets always give bang for your buck. I have this one and this beautiful sample should get me inspired to use it. I have been at the beach for a week now without crafty supplies so will buckle down and have fun after Thanksgiving with my new dies. Withdrawal?
Black Friday is definitely the time to avoid malls. Too much crazy. My sister and I went into the small town near here and browsed the small shops, more fun and met some nice shoppers and shop keepers too. I give mostly gift cards these days but like to buy stocking stuffers.
Everyone a good beginning of the week. Elaine stay safe and get that lap top back in form.

Good afternoon Sue and everyone I’m Back 🤪
First I must apologise for my absence from your wonderful blog Sue and I missed your new die release.......flip !
Rosemary thank you for your concern sweetheart xx
I have just been so busy with one thing and another and Christmas on the horizon no cards made and my arthritis playing up
Not complaining though there are a lot of other people a lot worse off than me.
I hope that everyone is ok I won’t have time to read up on all people’s exploits but I do hope you are all on the up and up
Anyway back to your lovely card today Sue simple elegant and truly lovely 😊 anyone would be thrilled to receive it.
June sounds like you have had a brill time at your get together and a little of what you fancy does you good so get of the naughty step you deserve everything good and nice xx
Right I will try to do a little catching up later but for now I wish you all the best of everything
Take care and hugs to all

Hello Sue,
I really love this card! I don’t have the Die but I had to prioritise - a bit like Pauline! I didn’t check the spelling either!
My Christmas cards were calling out in a loud voice - spooky that really - I hadn’t yet made them! This beauty is high on my List. I love the colours you have used too! Totally agree, doesn’t need a Sentiment. The message can be written inside. Thank you Sue!
Congratulations to yesterday’s winners! I’m sorry I was so tired last night I forgot to mention you.
Frances - did they come at a reasonable time? Hope so!
June - enjoy your Christmas jollifications! Don’t feel guilty!
Pam - sorry you had a blip as you called it over the weekend . Hope you feel better now.
Carmen-Dorothy! - just read your late night message from Saturday/ Sunday! My friend Elizabeth considers herself Hungarian/ Romanian. My history could be better but I’m guessing this has to do with the Austro- Hungarian Empire , WW2 and Communism. They all played a part in breaking up a country. I love her accent and that of her nieces and nephews when they come to visit! I know she really misses her Mum who is ill just now. It’s not easy being away from family especially when I’ll health strikes. Sending you a big hug!
Laine - where are you!! I do hope you aren’t unwell again. Sending you a big hug too! One for PP too!
Theresa ( Yorkie Girl) - lovely to have you back!
Lots of love everyone,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx
Hello Sue,
This striplet is my all time favourite, I loved it when you first showcased it and I love it still. Who needs a sentiment when you have pure perfection.
Ladies I'm sorry but I'm just going to echo Pam this evening ( thank goodness for you Pam). I'm totally bushed and my bed is calling very loudly to me.
Love and my usual hugs for all

Gorgeous card Sue and love the colour. I have debated as to whether to get this die or not but it's working it's way up the list. The latest I have got is the square shadow box and the Alphabet Grid. Have made some cards with the shadow box today. Using the Christmas dies from the other shadow box from last year. Sorry I didn't congratulate the comment game winners yesterday. Realised after I had sent the message. ELaine I was sorry to hear you fell yesterday, it's so easily done. Good job you had the walking stick with you. Take care. You have enough family health problems without falling the breaking something. I know when I fell and broke my wrist I could t do anything for three months and not being able to drive was the worse thing. Echoing Pam today and hugs to all who need them.
Beautiful card today with paper piecing in my favourite colours. This striplet is delightful. At the launch it by-passed my wish list and jumped straight into a shopping basket. It's so delicate, I absolutely love it.
Take care everyone.
What a beautiful card Sue. I may well buy it this very day although my low vision does not allow me to see straight lines and I will be so disappointed if I can't do it. I must see if there is a video on U-tube.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners of your dies Sue, I don't think I have ever seen one that I didn't like.
Love to all.
Marie P.
I absolutely hate those prove you're not a robot things and today's was the worst ever and now it hasn't published my comment so I give up.

Now I see that it published as Anonymous so what did I do wrong?
