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 crafters! I have a fun card to share today that uses the Bushel Basket, Majestic Tree and others! I show you how to assemble the basket and fill it with fruit!
The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x
8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. There is something about these autuminalish cards that I just love, I can't put my finger on why, maybe its the colours you chose to use I don't know but it's really lovely and I'll learn more about my tree and Bushel basket when I watch the video. Finding it hard to drag myself away from the curling just now ! So I'll send lots of hugs and hope you have a lovely day xxx
Hello Sue and all Another rather autumnal card today, we have had a cool change and even though only a little, yay! some rain. Reminds me of Harvest Festival when I was at school in England (won't say how long ago lol ! ). Love the card and so much about it, from the embossing folder to the gorgeous tree and barrel, don't have many of these dies but again, you get us thinking about our priority list Sue Hugs Muriel x
Trees I just love trees and funnily enough I have this die so guess whos going to play after work woo hoo. Lovely card Sue and a tutorial to watch later too, lets hope the rest of today is as great as this, have a great day. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today and the video is brilliant, I really love the bushel and the words on here, you can almost taste those apples can't you.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue, a great card today, with some dies still on my wish list. I love the tree die, because it is ingenious with the leaves that lift up. Off to watch the video. Have a great day everyone. Bx

A cute thank you card with a fun scene. You always impress me with the amount of details you put into designing your dies and cards. The uplifting leaves on this tree die are genius.
Hi Sue, Gorgeous card and brilliant video. Like Ateph, I am really loving these " Autumnal" cards. Autumn is my favourite season , just the colours are so beautiful, so that's probably why I'm liking the cards so much. Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xxxx
Hmmm... think I am definitely in the minority today ;) A couple of days ago there were lots of people not really keen on the 'grungy' card which I loved, today I'm the only one not too keen on this one :) I like the frame - the embossed part - a lot though :)
Enjoyable, happy card today. I like the oval frame for the focal. Very effective. I will be watching Hochanda to see the City-scape Die in action.I have not used mine as yet so good ideas are welcome. This was one of my first must haves from the new launch. Stephanie K SC/USA
Hi Sue, Lovely card & I love this tree,listening to parrots flying by at the moment,bet they would love a tree like yours, Best wishes Karen M (having trouble with wifi in Australia)
Hi Sue, I love the use of the embossing folder for this card. It really makes that wonderful tree seem like it's in a mist of other trees. Can't wait for the leaves to start budding out. I know it won't be too long as daffodils are in full bloom now. Gina (Greenville, SC)
