Hi crafters! I thought I would give you a break from Christmas card giveaways this week. This week's giveaway is the card that I first demoed on my last shows. I started with a piece of
coconut white card and cut the
Auvergne insert out of the top half of the card. On the lower portion, I cut the
Bevelled Glass Striplet insert. I did not use the outside cutting edge of either one of these. I cut the card on a paper cutter directly in the centre of the Striplet, then matched it up and glued it on top to make it half the width for a smaller border area. I added mounting foam to the back of this piece to raise it for dimension. On a piece of
blush card, I added
self adhesive sticky sheets to the area which corresponded to my die cut area. I peeled the backing paper away and added
Iced Snow. I laid the background on top, adding glue to my mounting foam so it would stick well. I made a double frame using the outside cutting edges to the
Auvergne die set and mounted foam on the back and added it over the insert cut out area. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
Austrian tag. Before removing it from the die, I inked it with
Spun Sugar distress ink. I mounted it with foam in the centre of the
Auvergne insert area. I made a
Mosaic 3D bow using the smallest size in the larger bow set with the matching
Itty Bitty bow set. I used
blush card for the base piece cutting it from the
Classic sets and then white from the
Mosaic sets. I made my bow and added it with glue dots to the centre of the striplet. I finished the card with a wide white mat that I used
Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue to create dots around the edge. A thin blush mat was added followed by a final white mat. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. If you would like to be entered in the drawing to win this card, just leave a comment on today's post. The winner will be drawn and announced on Saturday's blog post.
John Lockwood is on Create and Craft tv today with shows at 10am and 1pm. I hope you can tne in to see his exciting demos! All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue,
Love, love, love, it. Ooooo!! I really like how you have used one of my favourite "Striplet" Dies. Must have a wee experiment with that idea.
Have a great day hugs

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes out there on this chilly Wednesday Guy Fawkes day morning. This card really bring warmth to the day, the blush colour seems to take the chill out of my bones and I so love the dies you have used, I have not seen this card before so will definitely have to have a go, another one added to my list.
If you are having fireworks today, please, please be careful, stay safe and enjoy them.
Will have to tape John's shows as out today.
Thanks for such a beautiful card Sue, hugs June Smith xxx

Good morning Sue and everyone. Beautiful card, I always forget that it's possible to use just the insides of dies to cut on their own! John's shows are set to record so I'll have something lovely to watch tonight.

Good morning Sue
What a fabulous card you've chosen for the giveaway it's gorgeous. You'd be surprised to hear me say that I love everything about it (because I never say that lol). But it's true there's nothing I don't genuinly love.
Be safe everybody during bonfire night.

Hello Sue,
I love today's card and would feel honoured if I won it.

I might be repeating myself but once again that die-cut bow is just magnificent!
Beautiful and very elegant overall and design. Love the pale color scheme.

Today's gift is giving me a little problem in that on the last photo which is a view of the full gift it looks as though background is protruding through the very fine web of the die. This is the only time/photo that this is happening to. It is a beautiful appearance and really does not spoil your gorgeous gift. I'm not sure how that effect could be done in real life but it must be a challenge to try it.
As you can imagine using your French die has really made my day and therefore I love everything about today's gift. These dies really do work well with any colour behind them but today's is so so gentle and soft what more could anyone want. Again a big THANK YOU for starting my day of beautifully.
Norah - Oh a Nan Nan/Granny you're going to be!!! What fantastic news. Perhaps none of us are ready/prepared for that wonderful status in life but oh what joy and fun our Grandchildren are. I can just see one very very spoilt little one (not too much of course but that's what Nans/Granddads are for). Perhaps your butterfly was a little visit from someone very close to your heart to hear about your good news.
Sandra - have a really good day with your two Wilsonette Sisters and maybe get a little creating done along the way!
Well the rain stopped just before bedtime and it's still fine just very very damp and garden looks very very soggy!! We are fortunate that the water doesn't get near the house but the bottom of the garden; the flowerbeds on that side and the front drive and under the gates to the road gets flooded when it's very heavy rain. This never used to happen and has only happened for the last five years. We think that whoever owns a piece of land adjoining our neighbour's land quite a bit further up the back lane has somehow altered the water course as the water comes through the edge of our neighbour's land into another piece of land joining the bottom of our garden and then via us to the road/dyke and onto the water meadow across. Hope you can follow that it sounds a little bit like a jigsaw puzzle. There's nothing we can do as the owner of the land is quite a large employer in the village and so can do no wrong.
To all in pain and under the weather hoping you feel better as the day goes along. To all take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
So gorgeous, love the use of the dies and the soft blush
Elegant and oh-so-feminine with the blush card and pearls and bow. Beautiful card, Sue. Do like the Auvergne dies, such a lovely set (which, as usual, don't have but maybe I'll be on late catch-up next year!)
'P' in Wales
Norah - knitting needles out then! My, what a surprise and can see lots of stories heading our way.
Diana G - belated thanks for tip re perfect layers - don't actually have problems cutting them, but seem to have a propensity for wonky assembly! Anyone got a cure for that please?
Stunning card today-one anyone would treasure. I like the use of the bevelled glass striplet so I might try something like this at the weekend. Off for another fun filled day in hospital Pharmacy!!
Michele.
Good morning Sue & friends,
Lovely card today, not too fussy, I have not got any of these dies as yet, I love the look of the focal point though, so I may have to treat myself to that range, I am yet to do any crafting after the weekend!
I am off to Pats today, spending the day with my two lovelies, so will hopefully get my 'mojo' back, we do usually have a giggle though and that is much needed!
No hoovering Pete, until we have gone home!
Janet, I hope the rain has stopped and the autumn sun is showing it's face to you today! Otherwise you will need a snorkel to go with your slippers! Hugs xx
Grandma Norah, had the shock sank in yet? Does your daughter live with you? Bless you my dear friend, I hope it won't sadden you if I say that maybe that butterfly was your Mum sharing your news, I like to think these things happen for a reason and butterflies aren't so common this time of year! Hugs xxxxx
I will have to record Johns shows unless we watch it at Pats!
Steph, have you managed to get back in your craft room and on with the Christmas cards? I haven't even thought about Christmas yet!
Huge hugs to all of you Blog Family members,
Sandra xxxxx
Very elegant card, love the way you have used just part of the striplet die.

Such a pretty elegant card for today's giveaway. Looking forward to taking some time out to watch John's shows.
I've been bogged down a bit with all the hospital visits and having a new shower room fitted. We didn't have a window in the room so I made a decision to get one put in. what a palaver that turned out to be! I don't think the builder knew what he was doing as he turned up with one twice the size I had asked for! And then he hadn't realised that the sloping ceiling was actually part of the roof!! (My house is nearly 100 years old). Result was he then had to go outside to drill through the wall just below the eaves and then found out the window would be lower than he expected. After I had questioned him about it he then walked out on me and refused to come back. However I was put in touch with some really lovely guys who managed to finish the job and give me the correct sized window!! My plumber, another wizard at his job, is now in the process of fitting new refurbishments so it should all be in time for my radiotherapy to start. A big sigh of relief.
My comfort blanket is ready to wrap itself around anyone in need of a gentle hug.

Hi Sue, Love the card and the striplet border, will have to get this as I have all the others. love Jean Z xx
Good Morning Sue, what a stunning card today.....i love the colour combination....look forward to seeing John's show today.....
Morning all, What a site to feast our eyes on, on this chilly morning. I love the card and would like to make it for my friends birthday later this month. I have not got these dies, but the striplet is one of my favorites. That said I am off to the NEC this weekend, so may end up with them on my return.
So beautiful and delicate. Love it!
Norah what news! You will get used to the idea and then the joys of your little one. You will be a fab crafty Gran lucky child!

Morning Sue,
Suchan elegant card today and the blush caed is one of my favourite colours as it always looks so delicate. Loved this card when I saw you demo it on C&C.
Congratulations Norah and what a wonderful grandma you'll make...even though we have never met your kindness and caring shows through your posts....and yes I also believe the butterfly was someone you have lost (maybe your dear Mum) telling you that all will be well. God bless.
Gentle hugs to all those who need them and hope your days get better and brighter soon.
Love Sheila xx

Hi Sue. What a gorgeous, elegant card today. It is so opulent (yes, I've eaten a dictionary lol) in those colours and with all of the pearly dots, a real stunner : )
Congratulations Nora, how wonderful that your Mum was sharing your daughters fantastic (if unexpected) news with you. We have 2 beautiful granddaughters aged 5 and 3 -from 1 son, he was 20 when the 1st was born- and a grandson due in Feb from our other son, and I am the same age as you! Grandchildren really are as wonderful as everyone tells you so get busy with the knitting needles: )
So sorry that I can't make it out to see my lovely friends today as the body won't let me, but I have asked Pat to give Sandra an extra hug : (
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
Hi Sue - loved this card when I first saw it. It is beautiful. I love the blush together with white and all the dies you have used are so pretty. Want them all so my Christmas list is getting longer! Best wishes

Hi Sue and all friends. Oh Sue, I love all your cards, but this has taken my breath away with its beauty and its so delicate. On my screen, some photo's look white and cream and on the last but one and the bottom photo shows the beauty of the white and blush. Im now adding both sets on my need list, which is different to my naughty want list !
Good luck dear friends.
I know Maggie without a bow was going away, but that seems months ago. If your around but not well, Im missing seeing your name Maggie, as I am with ALL our missing sisters.
To those that need warm caring hugs to help you feel a little better please help yourself. The more you need the more I offer.
Have a safe night.
Love you.

Morning Sue, I do so like this card, very soft!
Nina x
Beautiful card as usual Sue
The striplet dies are really useful:) I don't have any dies from the Austrian set yet. Want to complete my Californian and Italian collections first. Annie P x
Good morning Sue and Wilsonette friends,
This is beautiful Sue although it took my brain a few reads before it actually went in on why the striplet what smaller and where it had vanished to. Excuse me Sue but my brain is still in shock from my baby girls news and the eyes are not quite awake when i was trying to figure it out where it was. What a great idea and just makes the die even more useful than normal. I love the blush pink card as it is so soft and delicate looking. Thank you Sue for another inspirational beauty.
Cheryl flower, i am so sorry that you have had a time of it with chanty raslers of builders, but now that you have found good ones i bet you will be pleased with the finished result as the window will make a big difference in the amount of daylight you get to see. I hope that your shower room is up to equal high standard for you, as it is these wee things that will make the biggest difference to you at this point in time and also during the coming months.
Wheely, glad to see that you haven't been bed ridden or hospitalised with all your new work and appointments, but i hope that you are able to do a wee bit crafting again soon. It can be a long day when you are not able to do anything, so even just that wee touch every now and then will make all the difference to you.
Yes girls you could say i am in shock and i feel quite sorry for wee thing when it comes, having a mad granny. But it is going to have a ball playing with granny and her toys. Mum and i always said that our brains were different from anyone else's just because we could make something out of nothing, our imagination sort of went out of control slightly at times :) Rory has that talent as well. I think Ryan and Kirsten will be getting a hyper baby back when it comes to see this granny though some how. Oopps.
Thank you for telling me what the butterfly meant as i knew someone had thoughts on it but couldn't remember who. I didn't realise that butterflies still went around at this time of the year and for it to be inside and come up the stairs to my room, have a few quick burls around the 3 of us when we were talking and then disappear was decidedly strange. I have always had the opinion that you could have worse news than pregnancy and i still believe it, it is just going to take me a wee bit to let it sink in properly.
What a beautiful morning i have waiting for me outside the windows with the sun streaming down onto the houses and the hills, bringing out new colours not seen. And it is not too cold either for a change, which is strange at this time of the year but will let me get some of the different bits and pieces done in the garden for the winter.
Sending hugs to all my Angels both near and far at the moment. Take care and to our dear friends that can't come home at this time i send my hugs wrapped in love and concern,
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil Village)
Hi Sue
Another stunner today. I love how you have reduced the bevelled die down. Gives it a totally different look. I have this die so will have to give it a go. Poor Mrs B is unwell today so won't be joining Sandra and I for a crafting and laughing day. I'll go and pick Sandra up from home and run her back.
Crafty hugs to all in need of one today, especially Mrs B.
Just beautiful Sue , i love it all.

Hello, i have just found your blog and i must say how stunning each and every one of your cards are. You can be sure i will be checking out your blog everyday from now on. Thank you
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies.
This is gorgeous Sue, and shows your dies off to perfection. I love it.
Norah - congratulations, there is no love like a Grandma's love (in my opinion). My niece has just become a Grandma at the age of 49, which is perfect (I was in my 60's before Rachel managed to present me with Eleanor) and being a younger Grandma is definitely a bonus. Although now that Eleanor is 11 this month she says that I'm her best (older) friend and that she can talk to me about anything. Enjoy every minute of the pregnancy and start your scrapbook with the first scan picture!! I was there at El's birth - which was wonderful because I did not see Rachel being born.
My love to all who are on the blog, and those who are missing for any reason, and of course to our Sue xx
Hi Sue
I know this card is gorgeous because it is the one that I won on the email draw at create and craft tv!!! So please exempt me from today's draw. I can assure you ladies this is stunning! Good luck to everyone.

Such a beautiful card here as always Sue. Love the soft touch to this one, and the dies used are amazing and make such a wonderful look on this card.
Lovely card Sue. Like the combination of colour and dies. The striplet in particular seems to direct focus. Sorry didn't comment yesterday - joined with grandkids early firework night which was delightful to see their little faces 5 and 7 years old. Hope you are getting a good break from the day to day altho' knowing you I expect you are having to jot down ideas, follow up on business and generelly keep yourself busy, right?!? Hope Mum is well. Hugs Maureen Thanks you for your email re wednesday giveaway, will do as you ask and let you know when the prize arrives. I really was so surprised and pleased. Thank you. M.
Oh how I would love to win this pretty card, thanks for the opportunity Sue. Saw John just now, he was great and the product I saw made me want it all.
Morning Sue, lovely card today. It must have taken ages to add each of the pearls. Craftihappiness to everyone and love from Pearl.
Hi Sue beautiful card today , I love the colour and the way you have cut down the striplet die. What a great way of using it. How lovely to see some new members to the blog, welcome to you all.

Mark one was seriously over cooked at the back, ho hum but at least we get a taster and the rest will do for our Christmas cake. Hope you have a great day love Diane G xxxx

Good morning Sue and all out there. Sorry I have not commented recently have been in some pain with my dodgy back (nothing compared to what some of you are going through) but I think I have been feeling a bit sorry for myself.
This card is truly elegant, gorgeous and beautiful it is also my mothers 91st birthday next week and I think this would suit the day perfectly.
Norah your news is wonderful if but a wee bit of a shock. for you. From your comments I am sure you will make a wonderful Nan/Granny/Grandma. You are already such a special Mother.
Pam I hope you are feeling a little better each day take it slowly you will get there.
The brain does not work well so cannot remember all your names but to all in pain, feeling down or just plain struggling I send warming hugs. Hope everyone has a good day. Take care Helen K xx

Vinita - a late welcome and to today's newbies bumble and Rolf HI!!
Stay with us please.
Love this card the colours are beautiful. The bow die is so useful.
Hello Sue,
I love this card it's so feminine, and the clever way you've used the dies, I would never have thought to use my Striplet die like this. You are so inspirational you always seem to be thinking outside the box, teaching us new ways to look at our dies, thank you Sue.
Hope you're having a good day love Brenda xxx
Norah - I to thought of your mother when you mentioned the butterfly, she was just letting you know she's happy with the news.
I am one of the daft grandmas it's so much more fun than being sensible, and as a grandma you can get away with it!!!
Fab Card xx
Just beautiful. Linda S

Another gorgeous card. Love the blush colour you used. A beautiful feminine card.
Very pretty card...someone will for sure getting this pretty card....
Well done Sue
I love all your cards sue and am getting better at the little dots ...but they are not always the same size. The mini bow dies are fab and compliment the bigger ones I love using them . Thank you for your inspiration . Yvonne x
Good afternoon Sue & All The Wilsonettes! Hope you are all well & enjoying good weather, wherever you are? It is a lovely, sunny day here but quite chilly! I am sorry I haven't posted anything on here for a while, Sue, although the cards you have been posting have all been stunning! Last year, I had bladder stones (LARGE BLADDER STONES!) removed in hospital. I then had to have scan, to see if they'd all gone (thankfully they were!)& that scan revealed cysts on my ovaries (which I was told were cancerous but it turned out they weren't!! I then had to have a hysterectomy last December. NOW I have bladder stones back & will have to have them removed AGAIN! That is probably not a big issue for an able-bodied person, but I am in a wheelchair, so it is harder for me! Anyway, I hope that will get sorted soon! I am in the process of making Christmas cards, at the moment &, with the help of Sue Wilson's ELEGANT dies, they are looking a lot more professional, this year! You have produced a lovely card for the Wednesday Weekly Card Giveaway, Sue & I would love to be in with a chance of winning, as it would really cheer me up! Keep up the good work, Sue! Love, Mary XXX
Hi Sue
Another lovely card. I need to make a Christmas wish list and leave it laying around, just in case!
Love Elaine x
Good afternoon Sue
Another stunning card which has an elegance to it. Love how you inspire me to use my dies even when I do not have the exact ones you use.

Hi Sue
Another beautiful card for the giveaway :). I love the sharp, geometric lines of the striplet and the little bow is just so sweet. Sadly I managed to miss today's live shows, so I need to check when I can catch them on repeat. I like the size of this card as well, a nice, substantial card. As always, thanks for sharing it with us...and giving us all a chance to win it. x
Hi Sue, beautiful card that is alternately showing on the tablet as peaches and cream or pink sorbet I will see what it looks like on the PC when I get home but it is lovely in any colour.
John's shows have hopefully been recorded and I will watch them tonight.
Have a safe Guy Fawkes night everyone.
Frances
Another beautiful and delicate card. I love your dies as so much can be done with them and they can be used together. I also love the bows.
Good afternoon Sue and everyone
Such a gorgeous card today and beautiful colours too love it.
Hugs to all who need them
Take care

Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card today, must have a go!

Hi Sue
Words for today... soft, pretty, feminine- another (like yesterday) that you could send to anyone of any age. I imagine it sitting on a lovely fireplace with lots of shabby chic/ pretty trinkets all around. Hugs from Billy and I to you and Mom x
Wasn't John fantastic this today! He had a real rapport with Leonie this afternoon and the show just whizzed by. I brought my Christmas present from Mr W today, just he doesn't know it yet!
Helen, pain is not nice regardless and I hope you feel better soon x hugs
Cheryl, bad builders are the worst, Mr W had so many jobs putting right others mess ups! I'm happy you got someone good and your new bathroom will make such a difference to you x hugs
Hallo Rolf! Willkommen! We are all friendly here and Sue has a truly international blog x hugs
Norah, thank you. I hope you are getting used to the idea of being a grandparent, I love knitting/ crocheting baby clothes! It's taken many, many, many years to learn to be sensible, I don't always achieve it but I'm quite proud of myself that I did organise myself, it has been on the edge at times but Mr W and Billy did their bit. Billy has got comfortable with the new people he sees to which is a relief. I'm having a little dabble for an hour this afternoon as sitting up the table is good for strengthening /maintaining stregnth in my back. That'll be it for the day after and I shall rest up ready for tomorrow.
Sam S, fireworks are awful for some pets. I hope your pets are ok while the skies are lit x furry hugs from Billy x
Ok, time to prize the dog off my legs (all 30kg off him!), will offer him my bed in way of recompense!
Stay warm and dry everyone! Fingers crossed it'll be dry tomorrow so I can leave the house for a couple of hours. If not I will be introducing my PA to baking skinny cakes and enjoying them after with a cuppa and a game of scrabble. Low fat/ low sugar = an extra large slice!
Hugs to everyone, especially if you're in hospital, recovering, having treatment or in any kind of pain. Pam, thinking of you, hope you're ok and love and hugs to our missing Wilsonettes
Sorry for the long post, happy crafting,
T x

Hi Mary
You've had a really rotten run, I hope they operate soon. Being seated does not make recovery from ops easy at all and you have my knowing sympathy! I hope making your Christmas cards is the distraction makes things a little better. Take care, 'Wheely' big hugs, T x
What a gorgeous card, so pretty and in my favourite pastel colour blush!
Watched Johns two shows on C&C today and thoroughly enjoyed them. I love how he uses the waste from the dies to make another equally beautiful card.
Gorgeous card as always Sue. I love the bevelled glass striplet and use it often. Pat x
Simply beautiful card today, sorry I have not posted much, lifes a little tough going at the moment. Hugs Elaine x

Hi Sue, stunning card for the giveaway - you will make someone very happy! Saw John's shows today - he did a grand job! Liked his tip for lining up a stamp within an aperture.
Hugs, Belinda. X
Hello again Sue, Love the Wednesday card. Just so elegant!
Watched John on the show earlier. He's very good in front of the camera. His demo's are very good as well. Think that could be the dies and essentials that were used. Hugs. x
