I am really looking forward to the shows even if I have to be up at what I call "stupid o'clock" to get there in time for my 8am show. I do want to say that I read on several of the comments about things being sold out already, but that is not true. They don't load the stock quantities on too early so they just say sold out until they do. Don't worry, everything is in stock at the moment! My guess is that they will go on the system sometime later today so check back. Okay now, on to the card. Today's card uses one of the dies from the shows, yes it has been on several times, but I keep picking it because I LOVE IT! I found this lovely springy paper while in Florida. It's not the sort of thing that I would usually pick, but I just had to see what it looked like covered in micro beads, so that is exactly what I did here! Next I cut three of the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Oval window out of coconut white card. I nipped out the crossbar from the window in each of them, it is very easy to do. I kept the middle one vertical and placed the two side dies horizontally. I chose a strip of pale pink tulle netting to weave through the die cuts. By the way, several people have commented recently about the tulle netting on my cards and Sam Poole is now stocking it in her online shop (see the right hand side of my blog) in an assortment of colours if you are looking for it. It is very versatile to use on cards and gives great texture! I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with one of the Fancy Tags Two dies (a little tip, use wax paper with this one as it is very delicate and swirly so it will make it much easier to remove from the die). I inked it very lightly (after I removed my wax paper) with Spun Sugar distress ink for just a hint of colour. I added it atop the centre of my oval windows using some 3D foam. For balance, I matted the piece in white and used Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots around the edges. This is a really long card. I could have made it smaller by moving my windows together more, but I adore this shape. I find it really interesting to do every once in awhile, makes a nice change from square or basic rectangle cards. Finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 11" in size.

Good morning Sue,
This is certainly a bright wake up card, one that catches the eye. Good luck on the shows this week good to have you back.
Morning Sue,
this card doesn't quite do it for me - it's the die I'm not overly fond of. However, background is great - where would you be without your beads?
Looking forward to Mon, Tues, Wed,Thurs.
Have a great Sunday
Good morning Sue

A very nice card, but admit, it´s not my die either, but ofccause we can´t always have a 100% agreement on all of them, then life would be soo sad, but I like the way you put it all together and the beads and the rest is awesome.
I´m so looking forward to the shows too and I really plan on watch as many of them as I possibly can this week he he. Can´t wait to see, what you have in your sleeves for us this time, so exited.
Have a wonderful and hopefully relaxed sunday, before it all goes of tomorrow.

Hi Sue, Another lovely card - I just can't resist roses - I fall for them every time. Love the great ideas you have. Such beautiful cards. Anyone would be proud to receive a card like this. When I first started making cards we could only get card from the local printers and had to use wrapping paper and lace edging. I can remember we thought it was great when fancy scissors and "peel offs" came on the market - how things have advanced.Really looking forward to your shows. Mary
Hi sue, lovely card.. Sally
Morning Sue, lovely card and backing paper, I must use my micro beads more often, waiting patiently for tomorrow, I had a quick peek on the C&C web site and have been thinking about several purchases! Take care, good luck for tomorrow , Jess
Something a little different not so sure about it may be the orange tints in the background.
Jane xx
Good morning Sue, lovely card I have this die so shall be having a go, I shall have to see if I can find a similar backing paper. Thank you for the stock update. C u in the morning :) Hugs xx
Gorgeous card, very pretty. Looking forward to the shows tomorrow.

Morning Sue, gorgeous cheerful card today, looking forward to your 4 day deal, Im glad they don't load items early as they sell out before the shows which isn't good for those who can't access the internet. Emma
Nice card for all occasions i also like all the sentiments you use so pretty Jean Z xx
Morning Sue, what a whopper of a card! Can't wait til tomorrow, good luck with the shows.
Hi Sue, lovely card , I have started to use micro beads on background papers and really love the effect . Lol Lynne M x x
Beautiful background! I really like what you did and the colours you used are so fresh. Feels like spring and Easter-time.

Hi Sue what a lovely card and you are tempting us so much that I am so excited as well! Have fun and look forward to seeing the shows Take Care Love Michelle S xxx
Morning Sue. love this card so clean looking. Think C&C don't put the items on in advance because we all know that Sue Wilson will be on and all the lovely things will be sold out. This way gives everyone a chance.

Once again you do something different with the die that just wouldnt even cross my mind and make it into another great shape- what a fab idea!! Can't wait for your shows to start.

Hi sue I'm not a fan of this one I'm afraid,it's the backing paper it's far too bold for my liking sorry, I do like the die though!! Looking forward to your shows tomorrow and hopefully the stock will last till Thursday so we get to watch you as much as possible. Love Lesley x
Hi Sue. A lovely card for today !! I love everything about it except the background. (sorry.) It just seems a little to pink for my taste. I love how you have combined the dies and I love that sentiment !! Congrats to all the winners. Happy crafting love Tres x x x

Really like the background paper, looks great with the micro beads on. However, not keen on the die I'm afraid but do have others that could be used instead. Looking forward to the shows.
Loving this card, especially the way you have used the tulle x
OMG Sue, I can't believe it, I HAVE WON!! Thank you so much. I think you can probably tell I am a little bit excited, lol. Will send you an email.
Today's card is another beauty and I love your 'springy' background paper, it looks good beaded. I can't wait until tomorrow's shows and I hope it goes well for you.

Hi Sue,
Great card I did have a lil chuckle can just imagine you standing in shop saying I must micro bead this lol cant wait for tomorrow Sue x
Hi Sue
Very nice card today, bright and cheerful.

Good afternoon Sue,
Congratulations to all of the lucky winners today!
A very bright and cheery card today sue!
I like all these other ladies am very much looking forward to your FDD shows, I will as always be emailing in.
I hope that there will be plenty of stock, purely for the fact that they don't let you demo anything that has sold out, the frustrating thing with that is that the hundreds of people that have bought the item would love to see it demonstrated! I also hope that you have a presenter that just let's you get on with crafting and doesn't waffle on pointlessly!!!!
Anyway rest up today and prepare for a whirlwind of a week! My guess is it will sell out really fast and you will be home and relaxing by Wednesday!
Crafty hugs,
Sandra Riley x
Great card, lovely summery colours. Congratulations to all the winners. Linda xxx

Hugs Annie
Absolutely gorgeous Sue I really like this one the colours are perfect! Looking forward to tomorrow.
I did try to buy the asters and the other flower dies and stamps but they said they had sold out but I searched the net and got both at a bargain price so I am quite happy but I will have a look to see if there is anything else I need!! :)
