Hello bloggers! Back again with another sneaky peeky! This one showcases the
Stitched Flowers by Justrite Stamps and I love this set! I started by simply embossing
coconut white card with my new
A4 embossing folder called Celtic Flower. I added a white on white border using the
Italian collection border. For the focal element, I cut the
Umbria die out of white card and backed it with a solid lilac circle die so the colour just peeks through. I stamped the tag from the
Stitched Flower set using a
black Archival Ink pad. I cut it out with the matching
Antique tag die by Justrite and inked through the die with
Dusty Concord before removing it. I stamped the sentiment and used the smaller die to cut it out and inked it lightly as well. I layered them up with foam mounting pieces and added them to the centre of my card. I stamped three of the flowers from the set with black ink on
lilac card and cut them out by hand (they are very easy to cut out by hand) I stamped the flowers again on white card and just cut the centres out and layered them up onto mu flowers. I used a white pencil to highlight the flowers a bit then added them to my card. I also stamped one of the butterfly from the set and cut him out and added him to the top of the card. I tied a messy bow and placed it on my border with one of the flowers and some
Bakers Twine. I finished the card with some
pearl swirls around my focal element and a double pierced mat layer with a thin lilac mat added in the middle of them. Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.
Now we have three winners of the Wednesday card giveaway to announce today. The first winner is:
Heather Harrison!!! (gold card)

Aspiring Crafter!!! (pink and black card)

If anyone is in the area today, I will be doing a demo at the Coleman's warehouse in Rushden (Northamptonshire) all day (10 to 4 demo time, doors open at 8:30 am) I would love for you to come by and say hi and please let me know that you are on the blog, as I would love to be able to a face with the name! All for now, Sue x
Good Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWe are so lucky to have your as our resident craft extraordinaire, I really like today's offering!!
the lilac is gorgeous and those flowers just lovely!!
The pressure is still on, I was not able to find an outfit last night, from the thousands of really lovely things. The problem being that most designs, even that of Jacques Vert would not fit or cover my Sumo warrior type & size of arms and chest!! Oh yes and Belly.
Travelling to Windsor today and will maybe have to have a bespoke outfit made.
Well have a lovely day whatever you are doing and hugs to everyone.
Cameeli
Beautiful card, congrats to all winners. Have a good weekend everyone

ReplyDeleteCarmeeli, don't put yourself down, you have done fantastically well to lose so much weight. There will be the perfect outfit for you, it's just sometimes the stress of having to find something blinkers us to something that's right there in front of us. Try to ENJOY your day in Windsor.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful gift for a rather dull Saturday morning. You have certainly brightened my day Sue.
Your colour scheme for today is fantastic - I love the colour of lilac/purple and in any shades.
Your Umbria die was the first one I bought the week of the launch and somehow it just keeps jumping into my hands! It's just gorgeous.
No crafting today as it has shopping has to be done.
Congratulations to the lucky three. See you tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, I love these flowers they are really cute, and made to go with your dies and embossing folder, it all looks very spring like. A week tomorrow is my beautiful daughter's wedding. I have this terrible feeling there is something I have forgotten, can't think what! Keeping my fingers crossed for nice weather as she is having a horse and carriage to take her part of the way to the venue. Hope you have a great weekend, will be watchingon Sunday.
ReplyDeleteLove Rosemarie xx
Delightful card. Have a great weekend everyone. Sally x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today. The new embossing folder is fabulous and a " must have" - love anything Celtic. The colours you have chosen are probably my favourite combination too. Looking forward to the shows tomorrow. Good luck for today. Cameeli - don't put yourself down , you have done brilliantly. There is a range of clothing for us larger ladies by Chesca - I know up here John Lewis and House of Fraser stock. It is a " designer" label for larger ladies and not outrageously priced. I have 3 beautiful dresses that I bought for school proms, weddings etc. anyway good luck and enjoy Windsor. Love to everyone, Alison xxx

Really beautiful card, Sue
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue hope you have a love day today. Gorgeous card I love the colour, the flower stamps look great. I think I'm going to have to put them on my wishlist. JB xxxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeleteTodays card is so beautiful Sue with the celtic embossing folder and your round dies, which until now i haven't really had a want for then, and now you go and do this to me, so i need them. The white with the lilac is such a lovely calming, soothing combination, with your new stamp flowers and buttons has that whimsical look. A+ top of the class. Enjoy your time in Rushden today, oh how jealous i am off all you lucky people that are coming to see you, hope you all have a fantastic day.
Cameeli my dear flower, you are a beautiful, gorgeous, curvacious woman. Show that bust off with pride, its yours and not man made. You have a beautiful figure and you have just to see the right outfit on it. Never put yourself down like you have today as you should be proud of what you have achieved, i know we all are.
And Steph, i would like to clatter those ignorant little horrors heads together, but i know exactly how you are feeling. My mum and i are the spitting image of each other...she is 5st and i am 14st 3. My mum has always been under 7.5 stone, but since losing my dad she is fading away before my eyes. She had a leprechaun on her leg that is upside down(birth mark)and is very conscious of it especially at the cruelness of others about her weight, size and marking. She too has IBS, amongst a LOT of very severe health issues. She is so thin that her hip bone has worn through her skin and is now an open wound the size of a gala melon. When working ,while everyone else was stripping off as much as they could to lose weight, she has spanners,screwdrivers, scissors and anything else that she needed to do her work, in her pockets so she was heavier than the last time that she had had a shreikin' about being to light. She always brought my twin and i up not to be pass remarkable about anyone, and i hope i have kept to that with my own children. These little hooligans have obviously been dragged up and not brought up or they wouldn't have noticed you being any different than being a new face to see. You are a beautiful person and they are just to ignorant to see that.
Oh Tres, how lucky you are to have a very special daughter who loves you. Enjoy your dies and now every time you use her cup you will be giving her that special kiss. You should be very proud of your granddaughter as being able to play any musical instrument brings such lasting love to someone. They can enjoy alsorts of music and bring soothing serenity to their lives in times of need.
Lynda, i am wondering if the ink mark was the reason for the shop assistant telling you not to open the box until a week before your wedding, so that it was way past time for you to bring it back? I would have thought that they would have inspected it as they were wrapping it up into the special folds to prevent excessive creasing. I am so glad you showed your father his princess' gown.
Brenda, i never had the minister falling asleep on me but i did need to get all made up again 6 weeks later because i didn't have photograph of me with my parents, or them together or even a single of me. So my album has the group shots of my mum in own outfit with a frisbee(her hat took off in the middle of the pictures outside the church. Have you ever seen a large group of men chasing a apricot flying saucer down a road and into a cemetery? A sight to be hold and not one i would advertise as playing amongst the gravestones is very rude. Fun and laughter for all.
Have a great weekend everyone and i hope to see you all tomorrow,
Love and crafty hugs to you my very special friends,
Norah (dreich Glenochil)
Helloooo sue and all the Wilsonettes! Loving this happy, cheerful card Sue. Love the lilac/white on white too. The flowers are gorgeous. It just puts a spring in your step! Thank you!

Don't put yourself down duck, you have done wonderfully and you should be proud of yourself! Take care everyone and have a great day. Off to meet a friend for a cuppa and a chat. Congratulations to the winners! sending love and hugs and prayers to all need them today. xx Love Karen xx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a gorgeous card. I love the colours, the embossing, the pretty flowers, butterfly and dies. Congratulations to the lucky winners.
ReplyDeleteGM Sue another stunning card, looking forward to Sundays Show, Elaine x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. How I love your range of embossing folders and dies. My streak of envy comes out every Saturday when the winners are announced and it's not me.(boo,hoo) Congrats to all. Norah(McPhee) I sympathise with the way you feel I don't know why people can be so cruel.Cameeli its how beautiful you are inside that counts.I have not been well for several weeks now and am struggling to get things together for a small craft fair in my local community but am lucky that my husband and daughter are helping me. I don't know about other people but I am finding it increasingly difficult to find items that people can afford to pay for. So besides my cards I am making Heart shaped boxes and putting fancy hair accessories in them. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them. Thanks. Hugs Theresa x
ReplyDeleteTheresa. At Christmas I made some cards for little people to colour themselves. I stamped Santa and a reindeer 6 of each. A cheap pack of crayons (remembering to put the warning re age usage of crayons) on the pack and they all sold. So Easter chicks/bunnies/eggs and crayons and children can colour them and hand to teachers etc (Sue has a fab Easter/Spring stamp) which would make beautiful childrens 'colour your own card' pack. I also typed a small sign and decorated it before laminating it. Also at the market I did 2 weeks ago I bought packet of fluffy yellow chicks just to highlight the area my Easter cards were placed and a polyanthus plant by the MD cards. Presentation of your area counts too. So make it stand out without over doing it : ) Think Spring and fresh. Hope I have managed to help just a little.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely colours white with the lilac.
Not too keen on these particular flower stamps, but I do like your embossing folders!
Will be tuning in at some point on Sunday - must get my email ready and fingers crossed to win a card - looking forward to the demos.
Note to Aspiring Crafter - if you want to pass on Sue's card when you've finished with it - I can give it a good home.
Congratulations to all the Winners of the Wednesday Giveaway.

Hi sue
ReplyDeleteSorry I've not been commenting lately I've been so busy with my card making. Mother's Day was a huge hit and I found myself in the craft room a lot.
I'm loving today's cards of course the colours are totally up my street. Love those new flower stamps and how you used one of your dies for the centre and layered it up.
Can't wait for the shows.
All the best Pauline ( freedom99)
Hi Sue. I Love, love, love the stitched flower stamp. The card is gorgeous. Can't wait for tomorrow's show on C&C. Have a fab weekend x
ReplyDeleteRight first off cameeli never let us read your put downs again, you always sound such a lovely caring person and contrary to what most men think size does no matter it's what's inside that's important! I'm keeping my fingers crossed you find that perfect outfit today,there is just the right one out there somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it. Good luck Alison with your craft fair today, and well done to the amazingly fortunate Wednesday card winners. Now for today's card, love it, and think the embossing folder is great, I really need a money tree in the fields, so much I would love to buy, maybe someone will take pity on me and by me something SW for my birthday this week. Lucky people to get to see you live Sue, I think you should come and demo in Shropshire, I would cancel all lessons and watch you avidly instead. Looking forward to tomorrow's show, will try and email in to fill your cup even more, no foals still I sure it won't be long though, love to you all, have a good Saturday everyone xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card today so elegant and rich looking and the embossing folder is wonderful, when I am finished here I will be going onto Sunrise Crafts to order one.
Cameeli please don't put yourself down you have done so well you should be so proud of what you have achieved. When you are looking for an outfit don't tell the shop assistants it is for your son's wedding as they only bring out the most expensive outfits there will be a beautiful one waiting for you that will fit perfectly and enhance your good looks so stop the worrying enjoy your shopping.
Steph just tell those dreadful children you will regard their remarks with the contempt they deserve. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you have a heart of gold and so beautiful.
Sorry Sue but you are far too far away to visit, so envious of those who will be able to visit have a wonderful day, looking forward to your shows tomorrow.
Warm wishes and hugs to those who need them.

Beautiful card Sue! I love the stamps from Justrite and my list is endless now.
ReplyDeleteReally love the background and the dies but prefer the more dimensional flowers, they just are a bit more classy. Congrats to all the winners - they are so lucky to get a wilson original!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your shows tomorrow Sue.
Hugs

This is beautiful Sue. The Celtic Flower folder gives a very pretty pattern to the background. (I want all your new folders). The Stitched Flowers make lovely embellishments together with your fabulous dies.
ReplyDeleteI'll be watching eagerly tomorrow. Have a great weekend.
Hello Sue. I had forgotten about this folder but now it's a definite must have. Just so pretty. As for the flowers and butterfly, they are really cute and I need them! Looking forward to seeing you on our TVs again. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card this is. The colours spell "spring", and your embossing folder is another stunner. Everything comes together so beautifully.
Thank you for sharing.
Apropos sharing - congratulations to the winners.
Looking forward to Sunday.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this card. Thank you. Its a double edged blow tomorrow. You on the tele and its my birthday and the family taking me out for a meal. Will have to set the recorder but everything will probably be sold out by the time I can watch ahhhhh.
Much love,

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone,
Lovely card today Sue. The stamp set looks really versatile and that's before I've seen what you will come up with! So looking forward to tomorrow - will try to see a few minutes live but already set Record!
Cameeli, so sorry you were disappointed yesterday but I reckon when it comes to clothes shopping you either have a great day or a hopeless one! Don't give up and don't get down - you are such a lovely lady! Maybe by now you've found that outfit! Hope so! x
Steph, how awful! Children did not used to behave like that! It's not just me wearing rose tinted glasses. Good manners and kindness seem to have become old fashioned at least for some! When you are unwell to add insult to injury is just awful. They don't know you like we do! X
Norah, what a picture - a chase after an apricot flying saucer! We were at a wedding a few years ago and there was a pond in the grounds of the Hotel. Young lady's hat blew off and landed right in the middle - oh no, says she I paid £9 99 for that!!
Love to all,
Myra
Pretty Card I especially love the folder. Mabex
