Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteYesterday my Berkeley dog was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Over the last week she has lost her sight , and about 70% use of her legs and with every day she remembers us less. So I am going to bow out for a while as we have a very difficult decision to make, when to say our goodbye's.
I would just like say a big Thank You all you lovely friends that have sent me and my Berkeley dog Love and Hugs on my email and on my blog and on Sue's blog, they have meant so much to us.
With Love and Kind regards
Tina XX

ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother stunner! Love the die. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Sue love the opulence of this card. It is so rich and elegant.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Tina and Berkeley, such a sad time. Our pets just mean the world to us x
What a stinker of a card. The colours are fabulous and the background die is beautiful. A must have for me. Xxx
ReplyDeleteGM Sue - great video, card and EL4 - a fave! Please can you comment somewhere sometime on your use of white mounting foam - you always use this and never black which I would have thought would have been better than white on say the black frame in this card? - but what do I know?!! There's most probably a very obvious reason why you always use white but for the life of me I can't see it!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes to Tina at this difficult time - been there, done that - it's a terrible decision to have to make but you will know when it's time to say GB to Berkeley.

Good morning Sue
ReplyDeleteI will watch the video later I still can't leave comments so will comment on here. I love the opulence if today's card, I watched the tool she'd show I recorded and agree with all yesterday's comments about Debbie she certainly let you shine. Your samples and demos were fabulous (noticed a few sneaky peeks lol). I particularly loved your tip about sticking vellum, it's a problem I've struggled with for years. I usually stick a topper over where I put the glue or use brads.
Tina I am so sorry to hear about Berkely dog you know how to get in touch sending you both a massive hug.

ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm going to be the only one today who says 'today's gift is not hitting buttons for me'.
Although I like the format it's the colouring I just cannot get past.
Perhaps it's because I could not get my laptop to work the video. Will try again later.
See you tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for another wonderful video.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! I simply adore black and gold. It's a winner every time.
And what a good idea to microbead all the patterned borders, that we all have. And even bright cardstock,that we didn't think we would use. Simply a gret idea. Thanks :)
Morning Sue, another stunner for us to have a go at. Very opulent black n gold together and adore the the rose n bow. Watch video later. Have a great day.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLovely card very opulent and lush. Tina, so sorry to hear your terribly sad news about Berkeley . I've been in the same position myself and wouldn't wish it on anyone - after all they are part of the family. As Lynne says, he will be your guardian angel. Lots of love to you and of course Berkeley, Alison xxx
Hi Sue sorry this one doesnt do it for me ,i think its the colours ,i prefer light clean colours.

I'm sorry to say that I'm with Ecco of Sheffield on this one Great technique but will check the video to see if it changes my mind I think it, to me, that the sentiment has been squeezed onto the die and is too small but I'm open to change
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love the colour combo. Great video, at the reveal of finished card the black took on an aubergine colour which looked good with the gold too.

Sorry, Sue, whilst I love parts of this card, there is something about the whole card which just doesn't work for me. It's something around the sentiment area.
ReplyDeleteLove the border and bow.
Tina, hugs to you. We went through a tough patch with our german shepherd last year. Fortunately he pulled through after 2 major ops, but they are so much part of life.

Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly opulent card Sue that you have made today, all i could never afford to buy such an extravagant card beauty. The champagne crushed silky ribbon is such a lovely soft shade of gold. Will try the felt flower later i think as i now have some of the blossom felt.
Tina, i don't know what to say as nothing will ease the pain you are going through at the moment. It is heartbreaking seeing them struggle so hard, and yet, i think a part of all of us is that wee bit selfish in wanting them to stay because we just can't comprehend our life going on without our beloved babies. My 4 paws is little sister to my son and daughter which sounds so stupid, but that is how it is in my home. She is the youngest of my children even though she has 4 feet/paws and i get just as upset when she is not well as i do when the others are ill. All i can say is my love, hugs, and thoughts are with you. I would give you a big cuddle in person if i could, but since i can't please know that we are all thinking of you and poor wee Berkeley.
Steph, you will never replace your last baby 4 paws as each have their own place in our heart and memories and it is there that we keep them alive. As long as they are kept alive by us where it matters, they will never be gone. Your new little Diva will never be a replacement, but she will bring her own love when you are ready, just give her a chance when you feel a bit more able. She brings her own little personality, her little ways and character and she is just waiting for a chance to prove to someone that she is worth taking a chance on. Your daughter had your happiness in her heart when she picked little Miss Diva for you, and to be loved so much by someone else like that is worth more than anything else in the world i reckon.
Thank you to all my super friends here on the blog that think of me as i go through my day to day struggle with me. I so much appreciate the extra thoughts and bursts of energy that you teleport up to me. Can i share the energy around with the others that need it as much, Cameeli please? There is quite a few like me on here that need that we bit extra boost so i shall share it around.
Have a great day everyone and i will hopefully see you all tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah from a sun shiny Glenochil
So gorgeous, very classy and love the bow detail which sets it all off perfectly
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the video and love the card. So enjoyed the show on Sunday and agree with the comments about Debbie so refreshing to have a presenter that was not trying to upstage the guest.

I didn't like the previous black and gold card but I really like this one. You have so many unique touches in your ideas Sue - on this one it's the clear embossing on the black in the centre that I like and will try.

Hello Sue. I don't usually scroll down all the comments but have today and isn't it sad about Tina's dog. How lovely that we can get support from each other - sometimes it's easier to tell a stranger than someone close at hand. I do wish them courage to do the right thing and happy memories of brilliant times spent together. I think this card is perfect for them. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone,
First of all, so sorry Tina, sending love to you and your lovely dog! We found the sadness was replaced eventually by the many lovely happy memories we had our our Labrador ! Even the ones in which she stole food!!
Steph a warm Patricraft Blog welcome to Cassie! Perhaps Cassie's exploits will help take Tina's mind off her sadness as she
recalls the joy a new dog brings!
Sue, today's card is amazing as ever and the black is even growing on my husband! Not literally! I will watch the video later as have a Funeral today.
I am going to change my name!!! There is another Myra! So I will be Myra P, ( the Lancashire one).

You will have lots of happy memories that you will eventually be able to think of. Take care and remember we are all thinking of you. Helen xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, Gorgeous card rich and opulent, love everything about it. The flower is scrummy. Thank you for a great video. I will pin this card as I do lots of your cards.
ReplyDeleteSteph how wonderful of your daughter to get you Cassie, you will have lots of fun with Cassie, you have a big heart and Cassie will give you lots of love.
Tina my heart goes out to you and Berkely, she is so beautiful. My tears are falling, been through this with my beloved cat. You will know when the time is right. Big hugs and cuddles to you both.

ReplyDeleteGppd Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteLoving this card, as black and gold is a firm favourite of mine. However, having said that your photos show somewhat of a blue colouring to me so that too could be be another option. Unfortunately I am unable to watch the video until a little later, so in the meantime thank you for sharing this with us and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

ReplyDeleteTina, I am so very sorry to hear your dreadfully sad news about your beautiful doggie Berkeley. I cried when I read your comment. I can imagine what you must be going through as I have had the same experience many years ago. It is heartbreaking. But like other people on the blog have said, those feelings will eventually be replaced by many Happy Memories of the time you all spent together. I have two more doggies now and a cat to but they are all getting older and i know what we will all have to go through again when the time comes. I still know that our lives have been transformed and enriched by having our beloved pets and that the good times very much out weigh the bad times. Sending you lots of love and hugs. Thinking of you at this difficult time love Tres x x x
Lancashire Steph, I am so glad that you have welcomed a new little doggie into your family. Cassie sounds like she has had a difficult start in life and I am sure you are the perfect person to give her the love and devotion that she needs. Congratulations to you Steph. I am so pleased for you.
Norah I hope you feel better soon. I myself have so many bad days all the time. Sometimes it really gets you down. I am 41 now and have this nightmare illness for almost nine years. I wish i could make cards more often but have to just be content with what i can do right now. Sending you lots of hugs and love, Tres x x x
Lots of love to all the Willsonettes love Tres x x x
Ps Sue I am looking forward to seeing your video or instructions for the beautiful Roses dies love Tres x x x

ReplyDeleteAm going to watch video later when I have more time to relax and enjoy it.
Tina so sorry to hear about Berkeley, you have done everything you could for her and have never given up on her. You know when her quality of life is poor that its time to let her go. It is a horrible decision to have to make but it is the right one. I love my little boy to pieces but I will never let him suffer and know I will find the strength when the time comes to make that decision.
We don't have them very long in our lives but I cannot imagine my life without a dog by my side and they are worth all the pain and upset when we lose them.
Tina I am so sorry to hear about Berkeley, we all hoped the news would be better for you and her. Just remember she was so lucky to have such loving owners just as you were lucky to have her. She will fill a little corner of your heart forever.
ReplyDeleteSteph, Cassie sounds delightful, let her become your new treasure, doesn't mean you will ever forget your other baby but you all deserve as much love and happiness as possible.
Norah, my thoughts are with you every day and Tres too, as are all Wilsonettes who are not well or sad.
Thamk you for heads up Clare W, now got the stamps and the snows.
Big hugs and love to all.

Hi Sue,

I love this card today Sue - I have the stamp and all the dies except the small one so Woohoo - I can make this! Must share this...Ever since a "friend" turned the card I gave her sideways and commented about the white foam showing, I have been making my own mounting foam to match coloured card (such as black) with funky foam and double sided tape - works a treat. So love the videos - are they all going to be on a DVD one day??? love X
ReplyDeleteHi sue love the card. Will watch the video when I get in from work at 1am so will be Wednesday when you get this. Watched you on tool shed soooooo! Loved the cards but could you explain how you do the fire and ice. Would love to try it. X heather h.
ReplyDeleteJust rediscovered your blog from following a link, and this is one gorgeous card! Love the elegance, and you made it look so easy. Great video, well done. TFS
ReplyDeleteThought this lovely card was too dark for me, then realised I'd turned the brightness of my screen right down!!!
ReplyDeleteHi. I love this card. It is beautiful! I have 1 question - what type (brand name) of tape are you using to hold the dies in place? It doesn't tear the paper when you remove it. Thank you for your help!
ReplyDeleteI meant to click the notify button but forgot. What type of tape are you using to hold the dies in place? It doesn't tear the paper when you remove it. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful Sue. Hugs, Jen xx
ReplyDeleteKrafty Keepsakes
