Hi Sue
Beautiful card, absolutely gorgeous. Looks very seasonal and wintry. Very unusual for you to make a full card ( with a back!) but it's lovely. Will be trying this one for my sister I think. Great video too.
Another super stunning card. Will watch video later. Thank you for all the inspiration Sue. Xxxx
Wells thats the card for the special members of the family sorted. Thanks
Enjoyed, Sue?? Yes indeedy!!
Brilliant video of a 'proper' card, just adore it all. You have used the bane of my life, the holly (folly) border which I have a love/hate relationship with - not surprised you didn't cut it live. It is a true beastie to extract without any damage - even the smallest crease really shows but I LOVE it!
This is one to definitely have a go at. Thank you.

Good morning Sue,
What a beautiful card you have made today and with a beautiful shade of blue that doesn't overwhelm the card but compliments the white of the card just lovely. I will have to try this with this set as well as the other matching sets that i have that will come out beautifully. Thank you Sue for yet another inspirational card and video.
Love and crafty hugs

Morning Sue,
What a "Stunning Christmas Card" I've loved the Video, I watched it twice already, "I always love it when I have the Dies" so then when I watch once more I can have everything ready and make my card while watching the Video again, I love the beautiful "Soft Blue and White" colours you have chosen and the fantastic Micro Beads! I loved how you also created a Beautiful Micro Bead inside to hold your Holly Border and Sentiment so right through the Card you get a Awesome Christmassy feel once again As Always Sue you've ticked all the boxes. Love from Sam x

Hi Sue. WOW !! What a stunning card today !! This is just sooo beautiful. I really loved your video to. This is something I have not tried to do yet myself as I could not get my brain around what is the exact way to do it. ( Symptoms of the illness.) I have seen the tutorial on your blog but seeing you do it as a proper step by step video is going to help me to achieve this type of card at last !! Thank you so much Sue for all your hard work, amazing cards and fantastic techniques and inspiration. Have a lovely day. Love and best wishes, Tres x x x
Good Morning Sue. This beautiful card is definitely one to try.
Love Val x
Hello Sue, Fabulous video and gorgeous card, saw you demo this on C&C and for the life of me I couldn't remember how you had done it, now I have no excuse not to try it, have all the ingredients and off to create later. The colours are like ice and snow and love the micro beaded snowflake and background.. You are a true inspiration.
Have a great day everyone.

Morning Sue,
You've probably been told this so many times but I'm going to say it again....YOU ARE AN AMAZINGLY TALENTED AND GENEROUS LADY!!
Today's card is just so very stunning and to be able to watch how you make it is great! I've never been quite sure how to do that fold and cut with dies and hey presto you come up with a great video showing exactly how it's done.
So many thanks for all you do for us and all the inspiration that you give us.
Love Sheila xx

Hi Sue, another beautiful card. Loving the videos.
Hi Sue, a fabulous card. White & cool blue, just right for winter. Love the videos.
WOW what a gorgeous card. So much to like about this one, but I'll limit my waffling! What I'd most like you to know is how useful your videos really are. I tried 'Fancy Nestie' a while ago from the blog tutorial and failed miserably to achieve the desired effect. Watching the video was a 'eureka' event for me! Thank you Sue.
Sue
Love this card, have a great Day E x

I love today's card and tutorial. I really don't think I would be able to reproduce this one without the help of your great video. The blue, frosty microbeads and holly all make for a gorgeous Christmas card. Thanks once again Sue for all your hard work on our behalf.

Fabulous card Sue,thank you for your great tutorial.
Hi Sue - a simply stunning, elegant card. Love the videos so much. Brilliant.
YvonneMayxx
very pretty and elegant card but sorry to show my ignorance but why do you use wax paper between your card stock and the dies. I ask as I am relatively new and inexperienced at die cutting and am always looking for advice as to how to get the best from the dies and make the most of diecutting. will definitely be having a play.
Hi Sue
Such a pretty card, going to give this one a try.
The video was great, well done to you and Creative Expressions.
Best Wishes
Julie Bee
So stylish Sue, I have a 50th wedding anniversary card to make and Im thinking this done in appropriate colours would be lovely

Hi Sue
Wow Sue, I just love this card. Thanks for the tutorial. One to try even if not done for Christmas. just come home from Hobbycraft at the NEC. It's a shame neither you nor Julia were there.
Such a beautiful card. Anne x
Hi Sue. Lovely card and I love the pale blue card. Any chance of Joanna Sheen stocking creative expressions card stock in different colours? Video was very enjoyable too - you always explain each step so well. x
Welcome to the addictive world of crafting Julye (and expensive) we use wax paper for the very detailed dies as it helps them release from the card stock you are using. A very valuable roll of paper if you dont want to waste card stock, or turn the air blue with frustration when your die refuses to part itself from the card. Hope this has helped. Happy crafting xx
Lancashire Steph
Hi Sue, beautiful card, looks so intricate but the video makes it look relatively easy. Will have to give it a try, it will be a card for someone special x
`Sue this is fantastic,so clear and easy to understand.Love it.Laura O
Such a wonderful card. Really pretty colours. I'm going to have a try at something similar today.
Awww this is gorgeous Sue! Love the blue and white together. It looks, like Pam has said, wintry and chilly! The other wonderful thing is the video. Even though I have seen you demonstrate this technique, it still wouldn't sink in about how it was done. Now you have done a video showing this technique, thank you so much! I also have these dies so after I have seen the video, I will make a few. Absolutely gorgeous cards yesterday Sue. I liked them both, but the 2nd one more so. But then every one you make by your fair hand is unique so you will make two very happy ladies out there! Hope you and all the family are well and having lots of special time together Sue, take care, xx Love Karen xx
Stunning card Sue, I just love the design. Pat x

Take care
Hazel Gx
Hi Sue, absolutely I do love the video. It is good to see you demonstrate the different techniques. This card is beautiful, I love the white and pale blue, very "frosty" with the glass beads. Must have a go.
ElizabethS x
Love the soft colours of this card. Please could you put just a list of ingredients in the blog as it would make it much easier to know if one had the necessary things to try and make a similar card. I love to see the card but only watch the video if I think I'd be able to try it.
I really work better from written instructions I can print out - sorry, as I know many prefer the videos.(probably most, but I'm not a 'visual' worker).
beautiful

Beautiful card. Thanks for the reminder of the faux nestie technique - it's so effective.
A beautiful wintry card Sue, love the colours, another super video too, Carole Z X
Thank you for yet another wonderful video. And what a card! I love it and watch it over and over :)
Fantastic videos. As much as I like watching C&C, it is so nice to actually listen to you, on a one to one basis,instead of having constant interruptions by the presenters exhorting us to "buy now before stocks run out" & "there is only % remaining" which puts me off so much. Looking forward to the rest of them. For me this is a sure-fire winner. Hugs Cheryl xxx
Have used this technique when you first showed us the method in your tutorial and was so pleased with the result. This version is really beautiful. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue. Just love it.Have all these dies, so I will attempt it. Thank you. Hugs. Jan.xx
Hi Sue
Fantastic card, love the wintery colours - looks very chilly.
