Hi bloggers! What could be better than a Christmas card that uses pixie powder with a side of glitter for extra bling? I think this one would look great on anyone's mantle piece, don't you!
I haven't asked a pondering question in awhile so here is one for you today! A Genie pops out of a lamp and grants you three wishes. The guidelines are that they have to be used on yourself (no ending world hunger or having peace all over the world sort of thing!) and no wishing for more wishes either! LOL What three things would you like for yourself! Be completely selfish, but in a good sort of way! A bit of a ponder needed I should imagine!
I'm pondering whilst thinking about how pretty today's sample is. You wouldn't even know this was a festive card had you not added a festive greeting, bling is so necessary on the majority of cards but during the 'happy season' more is more lol.
ReplyDeleteWish 1. Good health so I could leave the house more.
Wish 2. Rich enough so I could buy any die I wanted without checking my account first.
Wish 3. That I could grow older each year without looking my age like Death Becomes Her but without drinking any serum lol no deep lines or skin boobs n bum heading towards my ankles lol. I wanna look 30 again and get the confidence back I had back then.
Is that all about me and selfish enough ? It doesn't feel quite right though cuz I usually place myself way down in the list - and I imagine most of us are the same including you 😉 xxx
Beautiful card Sue xx Hazel
ReplyDeleteWish 1. I had good health so that I can do the things I used to do and want to do without any restrictions.
Wish 2. Get Charlie Dimmock to transform my garden.
Wish 3. A week of 1-2-1 classes from Sue and the team a different designer each day
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning sample today, will have to watch when I get home looking forward to that.
ReplyDelete3 wishes, goodness me.
1....good health
2..... to live the rest of my life in comfort
3.....to be happy
Not very original but it is early on this my birthday morning.
Stay safe health and happy hugs June Smith xxx xxx

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card and ,great video thank you.
Oh Sue where do I begin?!.
I am so lucky to have very good health and full mobility.
So firstly I would love to be able to eat what I like without putting on weight, I do have a weight problem.
Secondly, I wish I had a lovely singing voice, it must be wonderful to give people pleasure doing something you love.
Thirdly I wish I had nice hand writing.
Thank you Sue.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, beautiful sparkly card so perfect for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy wishes , I would say like most following your blog and the majority of people
Health, good health is worth more than all the gold in the world
Happiness, different things to different people, happiness brings contentment to life
Wealth, enough to live comfortably, to feel secure and not to have to watch the pennies, and share with friends and family

Morning Sue, beautiful card, great video demo too.
ReplyDeleteNow to ponder: being totally selfish then I would love to be able to afford to get someone to come and decorate my house for me,
Would love to have my knee better so that I could maybe do it all myself. Would love a huge craftroom that doesn’t have to double up as a spare room.
Love Jean xxx

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card.
Three selfish wishes? 1. Good health, and I don’t have to wear glasses . 2. Wealth, enough so I’m not counting the pennies and can be generous to friend’s and family. 3. I could discover a cure for motion sickness that really worked and didn’t have side effects!
B xx
Happy Birthday June.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and all
A gorgeous card Sue that would look divine on my fire place. I haven't yet watched the video but will do so very shortly.
1) I wish I could see and hear better.
2) I wish I could have more independence including driving.
3) I wish I could keep my craft room tidy.
How strange that it was so difficult to pick 3 wishes.
Hugs.

I want something. Lol
Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteJust finished watching your video brilliant as usual. Happy birthday June.Who knew how difficult it would be to pick three personal wishes. First would be to be pain free so I could be more mobile. To have enough money to be able to travel anywhere in the world. Third to be more confident
Lovely card Sue, I’m wondering if I could do this with the stained glass window die which I already have. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteWell this isn’t as easy as it sounds, being a parent & grandparent we are so used to thinking of others first, but here goes. The first just has to be good health, the second to be able to go to craft shows/shops & buy what I want without thinking of the cost &lastly I would love to be able to paint. I see such beautiful things like sunsets &think I would love to paint that, but however hard I try it doesn’t work, so an art tutor & a little talent would be lovely.
Will be interested to hear your three wishes Sue.
Happy birthday JUNE.
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA very elegant card.
My 3 wishes would be:-
1) Good health
2) Financially stable.
3) More family time.
Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteI wish for
My back to be better
My eyesight to be better
My friends and family to be happy and healthy

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Christmas card and great tutorial, thank you.
Now as for three wishes......as 2019 hasn't been a good year so far my wishes would have to be,
1 good health for my family
2 my loved ones remain in the UK
3 a big win on the premium bonds.
Looking forward to seeing what yours will be! X
gorgeous and elegant Sue love that color red that you have used
ReplyDeleteGr Karin
What a question!
ReplyDeleteGood Health for myself and loved ones as being ill limits your ability to do the things you want
Unlimited funds to enable me to do what I want (travel, buy craft stash, buy a larger home for a extremely large dedicated craft room)
Happiness - there's no point being sad or discontented having been granted the first two wishes!
I love the beautiful cards you make.
WakeyL
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteFirst of all thank you for the great video and the beautiful Christmas card you’ve shared. As for the three wishes, apart from the usual health, wealth and happiness, mine are
To be able to play the piano, I’m tone deaf so that’s an impossibility!!
To have Creative Expressions hold a show in Northern Ireland with you as the main demonstrator
To have more time to relax and to make more cards
June, hope you have a lovely birthday
Love and hugs to everyone

ReplyDeletemy three wishes.

I have no wish to be rich but would wish that we are never be hard up or poor.
and thirdly I would wish for the health to enjoy all the things we would love to still do.
AND I AM SURE WE WOULD ALL LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR THREE WISHES WOULD BE SUE:
Hugs Helen xxx
This a lovely card. I do like the colour choice. Easily adaptable for other occasions.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I want?
No knee and hip pain.
A huge four bedroom apartment with one of the rooms for my card and parchment craft and another for my lace pillows and cross stitch to be out all the time.
A cruise fro Antarctica to the arctic to take in as much wild life sighting as possible.
Teresa
Hi Sue, a brilliant card and great tutorial. I have already made plans for some pixie backgrounds for my Christmas cards, I just have to make them now lol
ReplyDeleteMy three wishes - very difficult to decide but here goes 1) to have both more time and energy to give my garden the attention it deserves but failing that 2) to have sufficient money to employ a good gardener to do all the heavy work allowing me to enjoy the planting, dead-heading and the like. No. 3) is really selfish as I wish my husband was as fit as he was pre-stroke so that I could happily leave him to look after himself and the cats whilst I visit my sister.
I cannot imagine that any of the above scenarios will happen but it is good to dream sometimes :-)
June S - I hope that you have been having a very Happy Birthday and that all your wishes have come true courtesy of Sue :)
Frances
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletelet me first say how much I love this card, so quickly done and
perfect for batch making. Very nice.
1/ Love to travel around the world, see more of Europe and the
far away country's.
2/ Wake up one morning and all the pain has gone in my body,
well one can only dream and
3/ looking slim and healthy next time I saw myself in the mirror.
Happy Birthday June, hope you had a nice day.
Crafting hugs to all, Maria x
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe pixie powders that you have used for your background are perfect together. Looks like the most magical sunset. Love the design for the card and thanks for sharing the video.
3 very selfish wishes:
1. A beautiful home in the Canadian Rockies with lots of windows.
2. Lots of animals.
3. Someone to share it with.
Hope that you have a wonderful day.
Beverly
Hi Sue,

3.Whale watching.

My first wish is to have enough money to be comfortable and be able to buy lots of crafty stash without the guilt.
My second wish would be for a holiday in fuerteventura so we can catch up with old friends.
my third wish would be for a bigger craft room
Good afternoon everyone, not been about much of late with work and not being too good health wise, still full of aches and pains but that's part of the daily norm now, so while sitting I thought it was about time I got caught up with everything.
ReplyDeleteso firstly another stunning card and quite simple in it's own way, still trying to get myself motivated for making a start on my cards, but I love using the Pixie Powders they are amazing.
Oh :-O 3 wishes for myself?........ok so think a lot of us are the same with these but here are mine.
1. to be rid of all ailments and be pain free
2. to have enough money not to worry if I can afford yet another die or stamp
3. a craft room big enough to store all my crafting goodies and not having to share the space with my DH.
