Hi crafters! Today's card is a little bit of a naughty sneak, but sometimes you can get away with it. The silver mirror card is a tad bit more forgiving for this I think or perhaps it just takes your eye away from the die edge! You will have to watch the video to see what I mean! LOL
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card Giveaway is:
Suemac!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.
The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Gorgeous card Sue. Love the Angel.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to our Wednesday winner Suemac, lucky lady.
Carmen, I won't send the snow to you, I think you will have more than your fair share over the winner. My brother lives in New Hampshire and I know how bad they get it. Our snow has gone for now, washed away by the rain, however my rear garden is still covered, I can live with that. It is very cold out though.
Cheryl hope you enjoyed your tea last night, I too like frozen peas, however the twins don't like them so rarely get to eat them.
June thank you I wish I could join your group, it sounds so much fun and very sociable.
Elaine I know you are keeping your posts brief so that Trixie behaves. I hope Andrew and Mary are doing well.
Theresa, what are Stovies, I wonder if we had a different name for them. My dad was from a mining village nut Mum was from a town, so there were many variations and names for things. What a lit if lovely memories I've had this week. Thank you all.
Big hugs to all, keep warm and well. Extra comforting ones for poorly and missing friends. Myra tell Norah I miss her.
Love the angels. Have to watch the video later.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Beautiful card, will watch the video later. I've been away for a week so I'm still catching up, but there's some gorgeous cards. Congratulations to all the winners this week. Hugs to all. Sue xxx

ReplyDeleteYou little minx, but as far as I am concerned you can do as many sneaky things as you like. Julia was saying the other day how nice it is that you do reverse images with a lot of your dies. But the way you have done a reverse image of the angel is really cool! You are so talented and we are so lucky to have you share your ideas.
I can't wait to see what else you are going to show us leading up to Christmas sneakily or otherwise. :)
Have a great day Sue

Hi Sue. I know of a certain follower that will have a proud smile on her face when she walks into the blog today. If it wasn't for a very old Angel stamp of yours and a card made from that stamp your favourite Limited addition 2017 Angel may never have been born and I know how much you love her. This is such a lovely way to show her beauty.
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations to Sumac on your gorgeous card, what a lovely start to a new month.
Hibernation is now in full swing for me so I really hope my Snow Globe etc arrives soon so when my keeper brings back my new colours of the Foundation card later I can enjoy putting them together.
I shall send my usual hugs to you and hope your Saturday is a happy one xxx

Good afternoon Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteOhh I love your card today I have this die and I also have the stamp from many moons ago so I will be watching the video with a view to recreating it in some way. Thank you Sue
Pam Stovies is a mix of potatoes cut up small with onions and mince then brought to the boil it is simmered slowly till it thickens as the potatoes break down there are several different recipes mum sometimes put turnip in it too it’s personal choice like you said you had to make the most of what you had . Mum and Dad lived in Lanark Dad was from Kirkfieldbank I have some wonderful old pics of gran and granddad
I will leave it there and like you said it has stirred up some lovely memories thanks Pam
I send my usual well wishes and hugs to everyone
Take care Theresa G xx
Beautiful angels!
ReplyDeleteLovely angel card. I appreciate you showing us crafters how you did your mirror image. Such a "plus" to know how to do this. Great video, thanks for sharing. Sue, I have a tip for you. While working on my Christmas cards, I got some liquid glue on my mirror card. Go figure! I was able to remove that glue from my mirror card with a damp cloth and a gentle wipe. The glue came off but did not remove the mirror finish. I was so pleased to find a solution to remove my mistake. Hope it works for you, too.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I have this die and will be looking forward to the video as soon as I finish posting.I love the angel dies and one of my most favorite is the striplet angel which everyone in my stamp group loved so much the store bought a few and they are gone (of course). I wish they could carry more of Sue's dies but they are small so I order.
ReplyDeleteRosemarie, you have fun with the little guy. I know exactly what you mean. I used to sit occasionally with my little nephew years ago and I just devoted the day to him going to the park, playing trains on the floor, etc. My son would come home and I'd tell him to play with Avery for a bit so I could recover and fix dinner. I adored him though.
Suemac, what a lovely surprise for you!

ReplyDeleteLovely card - very elegant. Really like how you've got the two angels facing each other.
Congratulations to Sue - enjoy your card x
Sending love and hugs to you all, Alison xxx
Hi Sue. Way back when die cutting was first invented (ha,ha), I was told that if you wanted to reverse a die cut you would cut the image from the wrong side of the card and then run it back through the machine with the embossing mat so that it would flatten out the domed effect created when cutting the card. I never found that this worked particularly well but I have been interested to learn that you can achieve a reversed image using mirri card and this is really important as not everyone produces left and right facing images of the same die like you do. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteLoved the video, gorgeous top by the way! I must try that technique of mirroring with mirror card, so clever. Your card is spectacular, 2017 angel is such a beauty.
Pam may I just echo you today, I'm a bit distracted this evening thinking of a very special friend.
Love and hugs for all

Good evening Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, I love Angels. I have watched the video, and thought it was interesting on how you turned the Angel facing to the other one.
All I can say, I am going to have some lovely cards next year with all the cards and dies that I have collected over the last few weeks. I am really itching now to get some cards done, but I will have to buy my cards this year, though will be prepared for next year, fingers crossed.
Still to have this plaster on till around Christmas week. Ugh!
love and hugs to all

ps. Congratulations to Suemac for her winning the card. well done you.
I just love the way you reversed the angel, brilliant idea....a really pretty card Sue, thank you....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. WOW !!! Another gorgeous Christmas card today !!! As always your video is fab. It really helps me so much to actually see how you make your cards in great detail. I love how you have reversed your Angel die to get left and right facing Angels. It is very clever. I tried to look really closely at your card and I cannot tell the difference between them !!! I love the silver mirri card. The background EF is fab, but another of my favourite dies are those gorgeous Garland Edger Dies !!! I do love the sentiment you have used to. Lovely heartfelt words. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteLots of love to everyone from Tres x x x
