Hello all! Don't look out the window, just imagine yourself at a lovely warm summer barbecue! LOL Does that help at all? Today's card uses the
King of the Grill die set. I selected some patterned papers from my stash as they had a picnic sort of feel to them. I made three panels and backed them in red and added them to a larger piece of black card. Next I cut the
Ella die as a backing for the barbecue which I cut out of
black gloss card. I added the flames and hung tools off of it. On the panel opposite, I cut three hexagons and used them to highlight the other barbecue items. Ketchup and mustard on the top, meat in the middle and veg and skewer on the bottom. I cut the sentiment and added it to a slightly larger hexagon with the chefs hat behind it. I added some
bakers twine with a
grosgrain ribbon bow as an embellishment and three black pearls. I completed the card with cream and red mats. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size.
I will be back later today with the die winners from the blog launch. Please check back in the late afternoon to see if your name is on the list! All for now, Sue x

What a great card showcasing your magical dies. The detail you put into your cards is so inspirational.
I just wish it was BBQ weather now!

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is such an amazing card sample, the attention to detail that you put in all your dies truly is awesome, love this design, and I am sure I can smell the sausages cooking.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue. I'm trying to imagin a warm sunny day but it's so difficult considering up North we hardly get those kind of days in comparison to the South of the map but I can dream lol anyway who needs a sunny day to enjoy today's fun sample ? Not me that's for sure. After re-writtng my NEED list this die stayed on, and as we are approaching Valentine's Day I'm wondering if this maybe a gift (a few sneaky deliveries recently) or will it be your new Mom/Mum or new Easter dies so I can prepare ahead for market, either way one day I will own this fun lovely useful die set ☺
Will try to remember to check back later and hope to see lots of names we see daily in the meantime I hope your day is a lovely one xxx
Great fun. Makes summer barbeques seem a bit closer xx
Great card with a summery feel. Can’t beat a good barbie.

Hello Sue, absolutely love this card, everything about it is just screaming summer. I have the die set, but not used it yet, and this has given me an idea for the eldest sons birthday card. Good luck everyone, I think we are all sitting with everything crossed. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Morning Sue.
Thank you a very happy cheery card.
Good luck to all in the blog draw.
Take care and keep warm Kitty.

Fab card Sue, pity it’s too cold for a barbecue.

Good Morning Sue and all.
I have to say I love this morning card , Santa brought me this set for Christmas and I am going to use it for fathers day cards. I love all the cute details of the dies and beautiful font of the sentiment.
Wendy
A really great card for those guys who think they can cook, yes, burnt sausages :D!
Hi Sue
Thanks for cheering us up with this wonderful card. These dies are just fab.

June horrrocks xxx
Good morning Sue,
For a split second I was transported to sunnier days! A fabulous card with wonderful detailed dies. Roll on summer! X
GM Sue. Fab card. Love it.
Hi Sue
Magnificent card. Such a pleaser for so many aspiring BBQ experts - I know so many. The intricate detail on the sauce bottles and the food is spectacular. I think this card would suit almost all of the men in my life x
I'm sorry for not commenting yesterday - the short version of events as follows - Jake injured foot. Taxi to hospital. Long wait. See nurse. Long wait. See doctor. Long wait. X ray. Long wait. Conclusion - dislocated big toe (ouch). Long wait. Doctor manipulated said toe back into position whilst Jake relied heavily on gas and air. Much hilarity all round watching Jake under the influence of gas and air - highly entertaining! Taxi home. Completely shattered. Bed x
Yesterdays card is absolutely stunning and I anticipate a viewing of the video a little later whilst resting to recover from yesterdays shenanigans x
Love to all - missing friends included x

Great card Sue and helps to remind that spring and summer are just around the corner on this cold, wet and windy morning.
Marion S x
Hello Sue, I absolutely love this set of dies and it's one definitely need list. I think it's fabulous. It reminds me of my late husband who loved to do a barbecue, and my lovely grandson who is a chef. It certainly brings a smile to my face on seeing this card x
Brilliant card, perfect for a number of occasions.
Michele
Good morning Sue. Brilliant card! This is a die set that I admire but pass by in favour of others as I wouldn't use it enough, but I love how you've created the background and the side panels so I hope you won't mind if I recreate the design using some other of your dies. Sue xxx
Hi Sue
Fabulous card. I can’t wait for long, warm summer nights to get out the barby! Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone and good luck!
Hugs.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Fantastic card Sue x the king of the grill set is brilliant and with all the accessories you seem to think of everything and give us so much for our money x I'm trying not to look out of the window at the rain ! Thankyou Sue for brightening up a dull damp day x
Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue,
Just what I needed this morning!
A nice reminder that this cold doesn't last forever!!
Bring on the sunshine...
Krafty Runner x
Good Luck to All!
Good idea Sue, beautiful card xx hazel
Great male card, I have this set but haven't used it yet but look forward to barbecue days and the chance to play with these dies.
Anne xo
Fabulous card! I have this set of dies, which I used only last week to make a card. Thanks for the inspiration for a design to use them again. xx
It's funny how the food is the reason for a BBQ, but the weather is what makes it enjoyable. We could bundle up and grill in the snow, then eat in the house, but what's good about it if we can't sit on the deck and breathe in the air scented with flowers and fresh-mown grass.
I have plans to use this set on my dad for Father's Day, then make him some to send his son and grandsons. SomInappreciate as many ideas as you care to offer.
Thank you for giving us the excitement of expectation.
Sure was fun reading your account of your day, Yvonne.
Best,
Donita
Hi Sue,
Fabulous card - brilliant for those male cards. Reminds me of summer too - is that wishful thinking?
Good luck to everyone this afternoon.
Missing friends - hope you are all ok.
Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xx.
Good Morning Sue. Lovely man card Sue. I tried closing my eyes and imagining summer..... didn't work though as its so cold here....maybe I will try again in a week or two. I have really felt the cold this winter. Well here we are on on the day of the draw. Well done Sue. You brought us some wonderful dies and idea to go along with them. Good luck to everyone. Best Wishes to all. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue - this card is a real tonic. Bring on the warmer days and rid us of these awful colds going around! These dies are such a good idea for the male chefs of barbecues and I love the little touches of bottles, kebabs etc. You've thought of absolutely everything. Good luck ladies for the die sets today - if my name pops up Sue then please put it back as I was so lucky to win a set at the last launch. Sending best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue
Great card today love the panelled background. I don't have this set but the more cards I see using it makes me think I need it!
Regards
Heather R Oxfordshire
Hi Sue,
This is such a wonderful die set - just wish I could think of an excuse to buy it but sadly there are no barbie kings in the family but I'm not going to let that spoil my enjoyment of today's card - love it...
Yvonne - what shenanigans!....the long waits sound familiar, still at least Jake's foot was sorted out...
Izzy
What a fabulous card, Sue. The panel on the right would make a card as well.
Anne (Northampton)
A fun card! I opened this blog to the sound of heavy rain on the velum windows of my brother's extension....... certainly ain't BBQ weather here in north Cheshire!!
Teresa
Morning Sue,
A great card for a BBQ king, it has been a miserable winter for lots of people. It will be nice to see the better weather.

Gorgeous fun card, love it. Hugs TOB.xx
Sorry Sue, didn’t work not looking out the window- can still hear the rain! Lol! However the card is very realistic &did make me feel hungry! A great card with all the different elements. Thank you Sue. Good luck to everyone in the draw.
Morning Sue, super card for the men in our lives, they always have to be doing the barbecue.
Good luck in the draw everyone.
Take care, Jess xx
Love the post and the dies, had to have them when they were launched and are fun to play with....
Hi Sue, a great card. I love the detail in this set, and really wish that I could step outside and have a BBQ, still hopefully in the not to distant future.Great card for our male friends.
Good Luck to everyone in the draw. Its my birthday today so I have my fingers crossed.
Wendyx
Morning Sue, I took your advise, looked out of the window and revealed in the sunshine and heat! Well, why wouldn't I as that's one of the reasons for staying here and avoiding part of our winter. However, we are expecting rain later this pm.
I have used this die many times since I've been here as a 'thank you'card for the braais that we have attended.
The intricate details on even the smallest utensils are perfect. I love the background on the card too. Must give it a try. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
That's a great card
Jenny jenster
Hi Sue, Such a fun card . love Jean Z xxx
Good Morning, Sue
Your great card today has had me thinking of warm Summer days spent outside!
The background paper you have chosen is just perfect for this perfectly detailed card.
Lesley S x
Good morning Sue and everyone
What a wonderfully detailed card the contrast you have achieved with your choices of papers and card are perfect
I have to say I don't own this set but looking at your sample it may just have to join my crafty stash
Thank you for sharing your inspiration Sue
PP I hope Jake is now feeling more comfortable after his trip to the hospital bless him and I hope you are now rested too
Love and hugs to all our missing friends
I send my usual good wishes and hugs to everyone
Take care folks
Theresa G xx
Lovely fun card.#
Rosemary xx
A sizzling card! xxx
Hi Sue, a great card. I love your King of the Grill dies and the way you have used them on this card with the small hexagon dies.
Hi Sue, I can look out onto blue sky and sunshine but it certainly isn't BBQ weather as it is a rather chilly 1C. None of this detracts from the beauty of this card which I think is perfect for those who enjoy BBQ's. I love the set but have no-one who would appreciate it so will just admire your designs. I love the paper and colours you have used.
Wendy Yorks Butterfly - Happy Birthday to you, hope you have a lovely day.
PP - poor Jake and poor you, hanging around in hospital is no fun but glad that Jake was sorted and hope you are now both recovered.
Good Luck to everyone for when Sue publishes the winners, I know there will be lots of happy faces.
Frances
Good Morning Sue
Wow! What a gorgeous card and it has so brightened up my day, so thank you for that. I simply love the checked background giving
it the look of a colourful tablecloth, really clever. So warm and welcoming, i have resisted this set so far as I thought I mightn't personally get the use out of it but I think it was lack of ideas/inspiration that has held me back. So I think you have convinced me you naughty lady LOL!
Have a great day can't wait to see who has won what.

Hi Sue this is a stunning card the dies are fantastic. It is just right for anyone who love the BBQ. Have a great weekend. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Love this card and yes it sure brings warmth which is exactky what i need today, its freezing
Sharon xx
Morning Sue, yes snow on the ground again this morning,so although this is a fantastic card today, we'll not be rushing out to fire up the barbecue just yet, I can see these dies getting a lot of use later in the year. Xx
Hi Sue,
Wish we had those temperatures now (summer ones), it's absolutey FREEZING........
I love that card, helps me to remember that warmer temperatures WILL come .... eventually...
Hugs, Rose
I would have to make it 'Queen' of the grill in my house! I know it's supposedly a 'man' thing but nobody bothered to tell my hubby that! ;) Cute card though.
Hi Sue
Fab card and I love the panelled background, the Die set is on my wish list as it would deal with all the male birthday cards I have to make.
Wendy, wishing you a very happy birthday
Myra hope the craft room update goes well
Yvonne what a day you had, hope Jakes toe isn't too sore this morning
Good luck to everyone this afternoon
Love and hugs to everyone especially all our missing friends

Fabulous card, love all the little details. Love Jane x
Hi Sue not sure I can quite imagine warm barbecue weather today but I love all the bits and pieces making up the picture xx
Hi Sue
What a great card today. Imagined it was summer outside but it didn't change from cold though. Although the sun is out now.
Love how it seems to be on a tablecloth.
A great card.
Hi Sue and everyone
A fun and colourful card today. Very cheery on this snowy day! Love all the detail on the little elements. You think of everything.

Hi Sue,
Brilliant card,especially for us in W A in this gorgeous warm weather & our son is a chef, sorry I'm not rubbing it in really,
PP loved the way you explained your day,
Happy birthday Wendy
Best wishes everyone,
Karen M (in sunny Australia)
I could just do with a BBQ in the warm sunshine now lol
OH well i will have to settle for this fab card and my imaginations for a little while longer. x
I just made my son's birthday card with this set. Made it a side step card with all the fun little details. He may live in Montana but that doesn't stop him from grilling out so I knew this set was a must have.
I love Sue's card so more ideas for using this set.
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend,
Stephanie K

The sun is shining, so I could imagine it was much warmer than it actually is. One look at the ground shows a covering of snow and the trees indicate a chill wind.
This is a lovely set for those men who only know how to cook outdoors! ;-)
Diane in Wales X
PS Good luck to those Wilsonettes lucky enough to win a die from the launch draw later.
Such a fun card! Love the cool dies! xxx

Fabulous card Sue. Great inspiration. Xx
Hi Sue. Ooooh this is another beautiful card using your "King of the grill" die set. Another great card idea I can use with this die set. I just had to buy it when you first released it as I know quite a number of men who love their Barbeques including a few who think they are experts at Barbeque cooking !!! ( only because they have an organised woman running around after them ensuring nothing can go wrong !!! ) Your card is fab and I love the background paper you have used. I love the way you have created your Barbeque to. Such a great card. Thanks for sharing. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres X X X
Lots of love to everyone from Tres X X X
Boy, when you said don't look out your window where you ever right!!! SNOW SNOW SNOW, but looking at this card lets me dream of the time when this shall end.
Hello Sue, Really love this card! Have the Die set so will have a go at my interpretation of it!
PP - you had quite a day! Hope Jake’s toe is lots better! I must admit the gas and air made me smile!
Pat L - thank you! I’m getting there but have a long way to go! Who bought all this craft stuff! Lol!
Myra ( Friend of Maureen) xx
Neat card. If only it was barbecue weather outside.
Wendy, hope you had a very Happy Birthday.
Take care everyone.
A lovely card, suitable for both male and females. Love the backing paper you’ve used.
What a great card, so detailed, and the food looks good enough to eat!
Good morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes.
A great card again today Sue but I cannot justify buying all the dies needed to do the card justice . My two South African Grandsons would love it I'm sure as they do lots of Braais but 2 cards is not enough to put the dies on my NEED list.
Hope you had a happy Birthday Wendy.
Love to all.
