Thank You Channel Card
Hi Bloggers! A thank you card seems appropriate for today's post as I want to thank you all for the lovely reception to my shows! They were a good bit of fun, but I was worried with them being so soon after Christmas. You really seemed to like the offering so that was extra nice! I have used my teal card today for a truly simple card. I stamped my background with the Victorian Tile stamp from Justrite using a clear perfect medium pad. In essence, you get a watermark look when doing this. I didn't heat emboss the pattern as I wanted it to really look like a subtle tone on tone pattern in the card. Next I cut a top section using the scalloped edger. I cut a smaller bottom section using the same edger but facing the other direction. I wanted my scallops to face my sentiment. Next I embossed both pieces using the Creative Expressions Floral embossing folder (still one of my favs!) I added mounting foam to both pieces to raise them for dimension. Next I stamped a piece of white card with the same tile stamp using perfect medium again. Now, I will have to confess here that I am terrible at cleaning my stamps which are often used with black ink. This is no exception! There was a bit of residue when I stamped this, however, i liked that it helped show off the pattern just a bit so I decided to go with it. I had planned on clear embossing it to have it show up, but decided to leave it since you could see the pattern. I stamped my Thank you sentiment (JustRite stamps) over it in black archival ink. I mounted the teal background pieces creating a channel where my phrase was. I made a micro beaded flower out of spiral flower 3 and added it with some white tulle to the left side of my channel. I used a pearl swirl as an accent across the top of the card and pierced the edges to complete it. You could easily dress it up if it's too simple for your taste, but it's nice to have a simple, elegant card ready for the right occasion! Finished Dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
I love this card Sue, the colours and simplicity are what make it so special. I thoroughly enjoyed the shows yesterday, spent some more money and was lucky enough to win a card i the draw - Whooppee...
Good morning Sue what great shows yesterday. I ordered mine. Cant wait for them to come. I really like this card and the colour is my faverite. I got this embossing folder last time and i use it alot. Take care Sue.
Good morning Sue, A very effective card, love it! I can see me using this layout more than once. Recorded your shows so I can watch them in peace today. Gail C x
lovely card, This was difficult to see properly on the TV yesterday .fantastic shows I've not watched all of them only managed to see bits so far but it's all recorded so will feast my eyes today
Morning Sue. Great shows yesterday. I always think that instead of you thanking us whenever you are on C&C we should be thanking you!!! So thank you for yesterday. They were great. Celina
Hi Sue, thank you for yesterday shows, the samples were brilliant. Today's card is beautiful in it's simplicity , love the Teal/White combo and the watermark effect. Lol Lynne M x x x Ps hope you enjoy the CHA and seeing your mom x
Really like this card Sue. Quite a CAS card but I like that. Love the subtle pattern you have created by the stamping. Great flower too. Very elegant. Mags x
Hi Sue, have recorded your shows yesterday and intend sitting back and watching them today. Love this card and love this colour, i think this is another design to replicate or try to with a few adjustments. You are very inspirational and i just love trying to make your designs.
Good card sue you can use this in a lot of colours and great for allsorts of ocassions..i have the shows recorded so when i get chance inbetween packing to move to our new home i will have some me time with a cuppa and watch them..hugs sarah .xx
Morning Sue, what a great card. I love it's simplicity and elegance. So beautiful. Sadly didn't get to watch all your shows yesterday as I had visitors. How rude was that? I saw bits of them though and I'll watch the videos of them today on my iPad. Have a great day and hopefully see you back on our screen soon! Hugs Sonia x
GM Sue - great card and great shows! Thank You - I ordered the embroided edges set. Think the matching stamps and die sets could become addictive. I really must give those ribbon flowers a try soon - they look stunning and your demo was really useful - I have recorded the shows also to refer to and look at your wonderful samples - there were so many - it must have taken you hours! I especially liked the lilac one so could we have that on the blog soonish perhaps?... Rgs Clare W
Hi Sue I loved this card when I saw it on your shows, I have this folder and the edge die so another card to add to my 'must try' list. Have a great time at the CHA and the visit with your Mum. Happy crafting Love Tina x
Hi Sue. Beautiful card. Could be used for many occasions and done in such a variety of colours. Like several of the others I will be watching the recordings of your shows today in peace and quiet:) Take care.

Like Celina Dee said its us that should thank you, I just wish you were on a lot more. Fabulous card today it's in my favourite colour of all time. Have a great time at the CHA and visiting your Mom. Hugs x Heather T
Great Show again Sue,I don't do too much stamping but you made it look so easy I think I could easily get into it. I would love you to be on the shows without the presenters.....let them do a tiny bit of blurb at the beginning and at the end....OOOPS! Not very diplomatic. Mabex
Morning Sue, Fantastic shows yesterday, great tips and inspiration. Your card today is so elegant, the teal card is so striking and teamed with the white and the tulle, it is glorious, I love that embossing folder, and the subtleness of stamping with perfect medium, I love it. Absolutely gorgeous. Lots of love from Patricia xx
morning Sue First I am so cross with my laptop that whatever I did yesterday I could not get it to 'watch live' C&C so I missed your programmes.I had bought my allocation before the show but that doesn't compensate for missing your demos. Now I've got that out of my system I really do like today's card - it goes in my 'less is more' file and I have to confess that since I received my packs of teal and blush card I have not stop using them. Janet x

Good morning Sue, I managed to catch bits of the two hour show yesterday but missed the five o'clock where you demo'd your (as my friend descibed it) melted ribbon flowers. Please please please can we have a tutorial on the blog. Beautiful card today. Hugs xx
Hi Sue i agree with the others ,a simple but stunning card not too fussy which is what i like. enjoyed the shows but wish they would give more time for your demos. Love Marion

Morning Sue, watching you at the moment with Dawn waiting for the laptop to boot up and just as it came up you showed this card on tv but you get a much better look at it on laptop it is stunning haven't used my teal card yet going on holiday on Frid. so trying to get organised for that but when we get home I will be in craft room getting caught up. Nancyd xx
Thank you for yesterday Sue.As usual you were fantastic and I was sorry to hear that you won't be back on our screens until march but I hope you have a fantastic time in Chicago[one of my favourite places] and that you will be able to spend quality time with your mum. You will be missed but at least we will have your blog to keep us going! take care,x.
Good Morning Sue! What a lovely day! between you, and Barbara the only think done was the ironing...... in front of the tele ! Love days like that! Beautiful card too!
Your shows were great Sue, I recorded them all so I can watch your demos again too. This card would be easy to do with lots of different combos of embossing/colour/sentiments, so its very versatile. Thank you
Not too simple at all, it's wonderful! I thought I was the only one who did that with the stamps, glad its not just me lol! I often clean mine just by stamping off the excess ink on some scrap paper, but occasionally you get some when it resets for some reason. Anyway, since I invested in some wipes I've been a little better, though not much! I read recently that versamark can perish the rubber which has scared me a bit, so I'm more careful now when using that. Is this why you use perfect medium Sue, or is it just that you have to because that's what they sell on C&C? Anyway, loved the shows. Well done! Maddy x
I really like the simple elegance of this design Sue. I was travelling yesterday so missed your live show but I have it recorded for my return. I hope there will still be some items available!
I loved your shows yesterday they were great and the cards that we haven't seen yet were amazing especially the one you made out of a metal! Hope you can post that soon so we can know what exactly, metalwise, that you used. It looked amazing! Oh! todays card is great too like the watermark effect under embossing really cool!
Morning Sue, I missed your early show yesterday, had my place booked on the sofa and visitors turned up and I don't have the facility to record. Love your card today, simple and elegant could be used for many occasions. Have a wonderful time with your mum at at CHA. Lydia X
Gd morning Sue, Wow...great show and great card samples! I do hope you'll be able to post all your pretty cards for us to see. Yes, you were right, I couldn't see the Victorian tile yesterday but your photo shows it well! The colour is so refreshing, away from Christmas colours! Thank you again Sue...for everything. Shame I didn't get lucky to win one of your card...maybe next time! Take care always, hope you're all well! Lots of love, Aggie xxx
I really enjoyed the shows yesterday and all the brilliant samples. You've been so busy! I saw this card, it's lovely, and I'm looking forward to seeing the other samples on the blog.
Hello Sue, What great shows yesterday, exquisite samples and detailed demos, thank you so much for your hard work and inspiration. Todays card is elegant in its simplicity, I like you love the teal and the watermark effect is stunning. Have a great time at CHA and spend some quality time with your Mum, give her a hug from me. Have a great day everyone. Hugs June xxx
Love the Shows Sue, why were there only three shows, there seems to be less and less of you on C&C is there a reason as to why this is happening. Today's card is lovely, love the teal card now have it in my craft stash.
Loved the shows Sue, and all the new dies, had to keep my hand in pocket straight after Christmas; but will buy soon! Todays is one of my favourite mixes - gorgeous - just shows what you can do with a dirty perfect medium!! Val C xx
Love this card, Sue! Great to use the same pattern on the white and the background of the teal! Loved your shows yesterday - tried so hard to sit on my hands but it didn't work - I just had to place an order! Well done, Pam, for winning a card - lucky, lucky you :-) Hugs Annie
Morning Sue, great shows yesterday, taped them to watch over and over so no withdrawal symptoms Today's card is lovely so easy, must get the stamps,. Have a great break, take care, Jess. xx
It is so nice to see a classic card all your cards are beautiful but I have to admit the ones I prefer are those in which "more is less". Congratulations on yesterday's shows most of which I watched still in my night clothes because I didn't 't want to miss anything,.
Oh no so sorry I mised your shows, I´ll never forgive myself for that SIGH. But your card here is absolutely gorgeous as usual Sue, and I just love the color so much. Have a great time hun and take good care.
Thank you for doing an easy quick card that looks elegant & would suit any occasion. I love my spellbinders dies but it can be so time consuming so its great to have inspiration that can be done quickly. I'm not a great stamper but like the idea of embossing after cos it would hide my mistakes!! Looking 4ward to seeing more of the cards you showed yesterday on your blog where we can get a chance to follow how to do them. I could watch you every day- there should be a channel just for you!!
I was ill yesterday but seeing you on the telly really cheered me up! Also nice to see this card close up as the stamped watermark really didn't show up on the TV screen. Thanks for all the inspiration yesterday - like you I am now hooked on Just Rite stamps and plan to increase my collection as I can afford to.
Hi Sue, Loved the shows yesterday. They got me through the ironing quite happily!! Fantastic samples as usual. My favourite Teal. What more do I need to add. Stunning! Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hi Sue, Great shows yesterday. And guess what I spent to much !!! (Flexi Pay to the rescue) Love the freshness of this card it will be a great one to have for one of those stand by moments. Love Brenda Lel
Hello Sue. What a lovely day yesterday with great products and your usual expert demos. Really want the stamp and die sets but will have to wait till the bank balance has recovered a little bit. xx
Hi Sue, Your shows were great yesterday..:)..I love this card, You make it look so simple but again stunningly elegant!! Have a great day...love Carole...xxx
Good Morning Sue, Thank You!!! for the great shows once again, Your sample cards were stunning. Spellbinder Shows are not just quite the same with you. Love today`s card idea, without the flower could be tweeked for a mans card. Have a Great Day
Good morning Sue Really enjoyed the shows yesterday so pleased they went well for you, your samples were superb! This is a super card today it would even be suitable for the men, less the flower of course. Margaret
You even make a simple card look stunning Sue! I am determined to make more cards using my spellbinder dies this year although they will be nowhere near your standard.

Hi Sue Nothing wrong with a simple card! I think it is quite refreshing. Really liked the shows yesterday and ordered the just rite stamps and dies - medallion , wanted the lace medallion stamps but couldn't afford them too so will have to get them later. Looking forward to playing with my goodies! Thanks for the shows & samples - have a great time in the States.
Hi Sue Loved the shows yesterday. Had to sit on my hands, I was so tempted with so much. I love the card today, it is so crisp and fresh looking and the colours worked so well together. Love Janx x

This is really lovely Sue & yes, sometimes simple is the best. I only managed to see half an hour of your last show yesterday & loved the card you made. Love the technique of using the white embossing powder & cutting the background in 3 panels! Loved the stamps & dies & it was good to see you again Sue, missed you! xx Love Karen xx
Hi Sue, shows were wonderful yesterday. I loved all of the samples, including this one. The teal card is a stunning colour. Can't wait to find out whats coming later after your little teaser on air.

Big hugs Maxine xx
Simply sensational. Such a vibrant colour teal and my all time favourite colour. Your shows were absolutly amazing yesturday i was fixed to the screen. TFS Hugs Amanda x

Loved the shows yesterday Sue - missed out on some items as they sold out very quickly. I like this card I will definately be trying to create one similar. By the way love the teal card managed to buy it first time round along with the blush card which is so pretty
Hi Sue, judging by the previous comments I missed your great shows yesterday, I am visiting My daughrt in Spain and she can't get create and craft channel now, BIG disappointment but love today's card, the teal card is next on my list x.
Love this one, and so nice to see a Thank You card, too many people take too many things for granted these days... lovely colours and love the perfect medium stamping on the teal and white papers, really helps tie it all together, xxx
Beautiful card Sue, had terrible day yesterday with my internet and C & C website. Missed most of your second hour and 5pm show and lost out on the sentiment set with 2 sets of rectangles, which when it came to pay showed the price as £226...... Dont know what happened and by time cleared they were sold out. So to say I was not a happy bunny is an understatement.
Hi Sue, Fab shows yesterday, enjoyed them so much and the samples were fantastic. Thank you for all your hard work, it's really appreciated. I've got it all recorded so I can refresh my memory when the stamp I ordered arrives (plus all the other new things I've added to my long wish list, which might take a little longer!) Love the teal and white today. I didn't realise the background was stamped as well as embossed until I looked in close-up. Fabulous. Looking forward to March now! Hope you have a great time in the States in the meantime, Sue xx
Somehow I missed your blog yesterday, but what a beautiful card - just love it! Really enjoyed watching your shows from Sunday and have an ever growing list of "needs" now, as I had to tape them, and what I wanted sold out"
You can certainly see your skills within the article you write. The arena hopes for more passionate writers such as you who aren't afraid to say how they believe. All the time go after your heart.
Wow, sorry to have missed your shows..love the color of this card... Fantatic

Great card today. Glad the shows went well. Safe journey tomorrow. Love, Julia xxxx
ReplyDeleteYour shows were great Sue, I recorded them all so I can watch your demos again too. This card would be easy to do with lots of different combos of embossing/colour/sentiments, so its very versatile. Thank you

ReplyDeleteHi Sue

Not too simple at all, it's wonderful! I thought I was the only one who did that with the stamps, glad its not just me lol! I often clean mine just by stamping off the excess ink on some scrap paper, but occasionally you get some when it resets for some reason. Anyway, since I invested in some wipes I've been a little better, though not much! I read recently that versamark can perish the rubber which has scared me a bit, so I'm more careful now when using that. Is this why you use perfect medium Sue, or is it just that you have to because that's what they sell on C&C? Anyway, loved the shows. Well done! Maddy x
ReplyDeleteRewets, not resets. Bloomin iPad corrective text!

I really like the simple elegance of this design Sue. I was travelling yesterday so missed your live show but I have it recorded for my return. I hope there will still be some items available!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteI loved your shows yesterday they were great and the cards that we haven't seen yet were amazing especially the one you made out of a metal! Hope you can post that soon so we can know what exactly, metalwise, that you used. It looked amazing! Oh! todays card is great too like the watermark effect under embossing really cool!
Happy crafting

Gd morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow...great show and great card samples! I do hope you'll be able to post all your pretty cards for us to see. Yes, you were right, I couldn't see the Victorian tile yesterday but your photo shows it well! The colour is so refreshing, away from Christmas colours! Thank you again Sue...for everything. Shame I didn't get lucky to win one of your card...maybe next time! Take care always, hope you're all well!
Lots of love, Aggie xxx
I really enjoyed the shows yesterday and all the brilliant samples. You've been so busy! I saw this card, it's lovely, and I'm looking forward to seeing the other samples on the blog.

Morning Sue, thank you for great shows and demo's y/day loved them. Lovely card, love the colours and design. Emma
ReplyDeleteLove the Shows Sue, why were there only three shows, there seems to be less and less of you on C&C is there a reason as to why this is happening. Today's card is lovely, love the teal card now have it in my craft stash.
ReplyDeleteJane xx
I do love this colour and what a gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteLoved the shows Sue, and all the new dies, had to keep my hand in pocket straight after Christmas; but will buy soon! Todays is one of my favourite mixes - gorgeous - just shows what you can do with a dirty perfect medium!!

ReplyDeleteGreat shows yesterday Sue! Love today's card - am hoping to share this one in my cardmaking get together with future daughter-in-law and her Mum.
Hugs, Belinda x
Love this card, Sue! Great to use the same pattern on the white and the background of the teal! Loved your shows yesterday - tried so hard to sit on my hands but it didn't work - I just had to place an order! Well done, Pam, for winning a card - lucky, lucky you :-)
ReplyDeleteHugs Annie
Morning Sue, great shows yesterday, taped them to watch over and over so no withdrawal symptoms
ReplyDeleteToday's card is lovely so easy, must get the stamps,. Have a great break, take care, Jess. xx
Like!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see a classic card all your cards are beautiful but I have to admit the ones I prefer are those in which "more is less".
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on yesterday's shows most of which I watched still in my night clothes because I didn't 't want to miss anything,.
LOVE THIS CARD SUE MUST TRY.
ReplyDeleteTHE COLOURS I LOVE AND LOVE THE DEMOS ON CC
Oh no so sorry I mised your shows, I´ll never forgive myself for that SIGH. But your card here is absolutely gorgeous as usual Sue, and I just love the color so much.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time hun and take good care.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing an easy quick card that looks elegant & would suit any occasion. I love my spellbinders dies but it can be so time consuming so its great to have inspiration that can be done quickly. I'm not a great stamper but like the idea of embossing after cos it would hide my mistakes!! Looking 4ward to seeing more of the cards you showed yesterday on your blog where we can get a chance to follow how to do them. I could watch you every day- there should be a channel just for you!!
Alice xx
Lovely card Sue, great colour. Haven't managed to watch the shows yet - but hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteI was ill yesterday but seeing you on the telly really cheered me up! Also nice to see this card close up as the stamped watermark really didn't show up on the TV screen. Thanks for all the inspiration yesterday - like you I am now hooked on Just Rite stamps and plan to increase my collection as I can afford to.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Loved the shows yesterday. They got me through the ironing quite happily!! Fantastic samples as usual. My favourite Teal. What more do I need to add. Stunning! Hugs, Carol S.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteReally pretty card, will have to order the teal and blush from C&C.
Many, many thanks.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteGreat shows yesterday. And guess what I spent to much !!! (Flexi Pay to the rescue)

Hello Sue. What a lovely day yesterday with great products and your usual expert demos. Really want the stamp and die sets but will have to wait till the bank balance has recovered a little bit. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Your shows were great yesterday..:)..I love this card, You make it look so simple but again stunningly elegant!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day...love Carole...xxx
Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteThank You!!! for the great shows once again, Your sample cards were stunning. Spellbinder Shows are not just quite the same with you.

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the shows yesterday so pleased they went well for you, your samples were superb!
This is a super card today it would even be suitable for the men, less the flower of course.
Margaret
I love the pierced edges that you do on so many of your cards Sue - do you have a template for this or any hints as to how to keep it looking so neat?
ReplyDeleteYou even make a simple card look stunning Sue! I am determined to make more cards using my spellbinder dies this year although they will be nowhere near your standard.

I love the teal card Sue, and I did manage to order some from yesterdays shows (which were awesome by the way lol). Can't wait to get it and replicate some of your stunning cards, always makes me feel happy as its such a vibrant colour, and I do tend to do naturals, but hey a change is as good as a rest so they say lol.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful love it Jean Z xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue, had terrible day yesterday with my internet and C & C website. Missed most of your second hour and 5pm show and lost out on the sentiment set with 2 sets of rectangles, which when it came to pay showed the price as £226...... Dont know what happened and by time cleared they were sold out. So to say I was not a happy bunny is an understatement.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed yourself

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteFab shows yesterday, enjoyed them so much and the samples were fantastic. Thank you for all your hard work, it's really appreciated. I've got it all recorded so I can refresh my memory when the stamp I ordered arrives (plus all the other new things I've added to my long wish list, which might take a little longer!)
Love the teal and white today. I didn't realise the background was stamped as well as embossed until I looked in close-up. Fabulous.
Looking forward to March now! Hope you have a great time in the States in the meantime,
Sue xx
