Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway
Hello crafters! Happy Valentine's Day too! I thought this lovely Cascading Heart card would make just the perfect giveaway card for today, don't you! I started by cutting the Love Heart decorative die into the upper corner of the card. I backed it with a piece of sticky adhesive sheet and used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz in the exposed adhesive around the word Love. Next I cut the Cascading Heart die in black and used the frame work outer edge, attaching it diagonally across the card. Next I cut the heart section of the die in several different shades of purple and paper pieced the coloured hearts back into the frame work I glued to the card. Using the Spiral Flowers cut in white, I added a floral element to the lower corner of the card and accented them with Passion Flower leaves and a lilac silk ribbon bow. I added a thin black mat around the piece then finished it off with white on white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size. Leave a comment if you would like your name entered into the drawing to win this card. I will announce the winner on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, and a happy Valentines day to you and Colin. This is such a beautiful card, absolutely stunning and what a brilliant keepsake.
Just settling down to my breakfast.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Wow what a stunning card Sue, love those cascading hearts and now seeing those flowers with them FABULOUS seems like I have another set of dies to buy. Well mothers day is almost here so I know what to ask for, woohoo. Have a great valentine day Sue and all. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello Sue and all Happy Valentines day to everyone, what a fabulous card. Lucky winner of this beauty, though to be honest we say that and mean it every week. I just received my cascading hearts but haven't had a chance to play yet, your inspiration has me itching to start though. I have been playing with the passion flowers this afternoon. So sorry you got so messed up yesterday with your MRI Laine, hope all goes well next time. Hugs to our missing Wilsonettes, thinking of you Hugs to the "present" ones too, Muriel x
Hi Sue, this is gorgeous! I love the hearts (I also love the butterflies and use them often). The use of one colour in different tones is very effective. Happy Valentines Day and thank you for sharing this card.
Happy Valentine's to you and Colin. And good morning Sue. First attempt was was eaten by the blog bug again so here we go for a second time ! I'm living today's Valentine sample, good choice lol. This die stole my heart during the launch and no matter if you go full steam ahead with a true Sue Wilson or a romantic CAS style card, either way a beautiful card is bound to be the end result. I'm hoping that one of the 'sneaky' mail deliveries my keeper has had recently holds this beautiful die, as I have no need for expensive perfume and flowers don't last long but a die gift will always hold the memory of the occasion it was given for ☺ so I'll send my love and hope your day is fun and full of Valentine treats xxx
What a perfect card, for Valentine’s Day and any other time to show your love for someone. I love everything about this card and as always your flowers make it perfect. Thank you Sue, have a good day. Xxx
Happy Valentine's day Sue. Hope Colin is treating you to a romantic day, otherwise a large diamond would suffice! lol Beautiful card and one which sounds easy to make, says she, hopefully. I just love those spiral flowers and the heart with the glitterbliz is so pretty. Who wouldn't want to win this? Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Hi Sue Happy Valentine's day. A beautiful card. The Love Heart die was my very first Sue Wilson die and I use it lots for anniversary and wedding cards - and Valentine's. B xx
Wow, it just occurred to me that Sue's husband can't give her Sue Wilson die sets What is he supposed to do for special occasions? What other gift could matter? I guess there's always jewelry.
So I had to look up how I missed the Love Heart. It was in the Expressions launch, the one that also had the Thank You oval, a fancy Best Wishes and a freestanding Enjoy. Maybe I can live without it, seeing as how I got a lot of use from the Love in the Jewelled Hearts set. While making Valentines this year, I found myself saying, in reference to that die, "What happened to the love I just had?" "Where did love go?" And "I hope I haven't lost love." But what I really want is the Always & Forever in the Wedded Bliss Frame. The calligraphy on that is so beautiful!
Like others have said, Cascading Hearts looks fabulous in multiple weights of the same color, especially with the Love Heart on one side and flowers on the other, both mostly white.
Thanks to Sue, we all got a handmade Valentine this year. Thank you, Sue.
Hi Sue - thank you for sharing this absolutely beautiful card. I just love it, it's so striking and beautiful. I don't have the spiral flowers but they are now a definite must because they look so delicate and lacy. Have a lovely Valentine's Day Sue. YvonneMayxx
Good Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. And what a beautiful card we have all received this morning. Love the colours too.. Ohhh and I must have those spiral flowers. They are lovely. Once again you have pleased us all Sue. Best Wishes to everyone this sunny but very frosty freezing morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
What a stunning Valentine's Day card you've created, love all the dies you've used, especially the Cascading Hearts - I still don't have that one but it's high on the list as I can see how useful it would be and not just for 14th February!...
Laine - sounds like somebody forgot to put a shilling in the meter!...what a waste of a whole day...
Good Morning Sue and all. Beautiful card this morning , Love the colours you have created with the Cascading Heart . Its so effective using different shades and the finishing touches are beautiful. crafty hugs and well wishes.. Wendy
Hi Sue, What a beautiful and very appropriate card for this morning. I love the colours you have chosen for the cascading hearts. This was one of my favourite dies from the new collection along with the modern octagons which are both on order! Very wild and rainy up here in Scotland today - I don’t think we’ll be venturing too far from the hotel lounge ! Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Hi Sue, Happy Valentine's Day to you. This is a lovely card that we all would love to receive. The hearts and flowers are just so pretty. Regards, Evis M.

Hello Sue, I love this card, love how you cut the hearts into the card and then inserted coloured hearts. it’s beautiful. Thank you so much for the inspiration, love Brenda XXX
Hi Sue, a beautiful card and the perfect choice for today and for appointment? all those romantics among us. I'm not usually one for hearts on a card but I love the way that the shades of purple look almost as though they were padded. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I have just started cutting out the makings for eight 3D Easter Baskets and think that I may be some time. Just as well as it is raining/sleeting/snowing outside.
Laine - what a rotten day you had, hope you managed to sleep well last night. They call 10 days an emergency appointment? Alison - sorry that Scotland is not showing you its best face today. The weather has been so variable lately we really have to take each day as it comes.
Hi Sue Beautiful card and just right for today! I received my blog prize today, thank you very much it's even better in 'real' life. I've now got the set of three! Hugs x Heather T

What a delightful card, Sue, and so fitting for Valentine's Day. So far, my V. Day has been spent standing in the pouring rain for ten minutes waiting for a bus at a stop with no shelter so that I could take my kitten to the vet to be neutered...I know, what a cruel day to get that done lol. Now I'm waiting to go get him so it will be more soaking clothes by the time we get home again...it was a brilliant day yesterday, what a shame we couldn't go then lol Good luck everyone for Saturday's draw, I know we would all love to win this one. Bejay xx

Hi Sue Perfect card for today, love the cascading hearts in all the shades of purple Laine sorry your day didn't go to plan, hope you had a good nights sleep
Love and hugs to everyone especially all our missing friends Pat
Happy Valentines Day to Sue...i hope that hubby has treated you according your status.....and to the rest of her adoring Wilsonettes! I received one Valentine card, a virtual one so who says that i’m Not down with the kids:-), it was from my Uncle in Toronto so does it count? Your card beats the s*** out of any competitors though Sue, i love the cascading hearts, they are particularly striking outlined in black but the paper piecing is outstanding, the colour tones are fab, a refreshing change from red. The spiral flowers are the perfect compliment to this composition. The best of luck to each and every Wilsonette who takes the time out of their day to tell this lovely lady how special she is and how wonderful her creations are. Had an early start today in preparation for a hair appointment, really struggled to get up, in fact, if my Mum hadn’t insisted on screaming in my ear i reckon that i’d Still be fast asleep:-) Soldiered on, was made suitably presentable again and did a bit of shopping....got another new dressing gown and nightie in anticipation of some upcoming hospital stays, its grey, sparkly and so so soft.....got home to the sound of the phone ringing, it was my consultants head nurse who was furious that my MRI has been moved to next Friday. She said that it wasn’t acceptable and that they will rush it through as well as book me in for a PET scan in Glasgow. No sooner had i hung up the phone, the MRI dept called with a last minute cancellation for tomorrow at 10.45am....YES! Another 6am wake up call waiting for an ambulance!!! So girls, i guess sleep isnt high on my agenda again but at least i will learn the results quicker than expected:-) Alison, so sorry that our infamous Scottish weather is living “up” to expectations:-) I swear, it was raining, snowing and hailing all at once as I foolishly made my way to pay for a pointless blow dry! I can but hope that you manage to enjoy yourself in the face of this adversity, the scenery is quite nice when you can see it through the clouds and rain:-) Where are you? Yvonne is safely back from her travels but is suffering fatigue as a result. I’m sure she will be back and causing trouble soon....she better get a move on and finish my card, so much for her promise that i would receive it by last Saturday!:-) Huge hugs to all my blog besties, missing and present, as well as cuddles who all who need onexxxx
Good evening Sue and everyone Ohhh wow. What a beautiful card Sue someone is going to be a happy bunny to receive this Gorgeous card Sue don’t want to sound selfish but I hope it’s me Lol No I wish everyone good luck in the draw I send my usual good wishes and hugs to everyone Laine I hope everything goes ok tomorrow sweetheart Chin up and let us know how things go hugs xx Take care folks Theresa G xx
What a beautiful card. I love the purple hearts. My local craft store was able to purchase your dies (based on my wish list) and I am enjoying them very much.
Hoping everyone had or is having a wonderful Valentine's Day. The hubby took me out to lunch and bought me a laminator (for foiling). Donita, you are correct in thinking that the best gifts are crafty ones. He has been listening to me yacking about laminators all week so one way to get my attention. The weather sounds dreadful in Scotland, Laine. You had me cracking up over your hair appointment day. This is a very attractive card. The perfect balance of simplicity with a touch of frivolity.Someone will feel very lucky to receive it. Stephanie K SC/USA
Sue, today's card is an absolute delight. I love your Cascading Heart and Love Heart dies, the flowers are beautiful and you've used my favourite colour. The perfect card for Valentine's day. Laine, hope all goes well with your appointment in the morning. Take care everyone.

Hi sue beautiful card great for today
ReplyDeleteStunning card Sue! really pretty!!!!
ReplyDeleteGood evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines Day to Sue...i hope that hubby has treated you according your status.....and to the rest of her adoring Wilsonettes! I received one Valentine card, a virtual one so who says that i’m Not down with the kids:-), it was from my Uncle in Toronto so does it count?
Your card beats the s*** out of any competitors though Sue, i love the cascading hearts, they are particularly striking outlined in black but the paper piecing is outstanding, the colour tones are fab, a refreshing change from red. The spiral flowers are the perfect compliment to this composition. The best of luck to each and every Wilsonette who takes the time out of their day to tell this lovely lady how special she is and how wonderful her creations are.
Had an early start today in preparation for a hair appointment, really struggled to get up, in fact, if my Mum hadn’t insisted on screaming in my ear i reckon that i’d Still be fast asleep:-) Soldiered on, was made suitably presentable again and did a bit of shopping....got another new dressing gown and nightie in anticipation of some upcoming hospital stays, its grey, sparkly and so so soft.....got home to the sound of the phone ringing, it was my consultants head nurse who was furious that my MRI has been moved to next Friday. She said that it wasn’t acceptable and that they will rush it through as well as book me in for a PET scan in Glasgow. No sooner had i hung up the phone, the MRI dept called with a last minute cancellation for tomorrow at 10.45am....YES! Another 6am wake up call waiting for an ambulance!!! So girls, i guess sleep isnt high on my agenda again but at least i will learn the results quicker than expected:-)
Alison, so sorry that our infamous Scottish weather is living “up” to expectations:-) I swear, it was raining, snowing and hailing all at once as I foolishly made my way to pay for a pointless blow dry! I can but hope that you manage to enjoy yourself in the face of this adversity, the scenery is quite nice when you can see it through the clouds and rain:-) Where are you?
Yvonne is safely back from her travels but is suffering fatigue as a result. I’m sure she will be back and causing trouble soon....she better get a move on and finish my card, so much for her promise that i would receive it by last Saturday!:-)
Huge hugs to all my blog besties, missing and present, as well as cuddles who all who need onexxxx
Love and crafty hugs

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue, anyone would be delighted to receive it.
ReplyDeletePurple is my favourite colour and I love the way it’s been used in this card. It’s gorgeous.

Hoping everyone had or is having a wonderful Valentine's Day. The hubby took me out to lunch and bought me a laminator (for foiling). Donita, you are correct in thinking that the best gifts are crafty ones. He has been listening to me yacking about laminators all week so one way to get my attention.
ReplyDeleteThe weather sounds dreadful in Scotland, Laine. You had me cracking up over your hair appointment day.
This is a very attractive card. The perfect balance of simplicity with a touch of frivolity.Someone will feel very lucky to receive it.
