The finished dimension are 6 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good morning Sue and everyone. A quick post this morning as I'd forgotten it's video day and as it's half term I can watch it now instead of having to wait until tonight. Have a lovely day. Sue xxx

Pretty card, Sue, like the use of the extended frames. Lovely colouring as ever and so nice to have that cheerful springlike yellow. Thanks for the video - love your top! "Tidy up as you go", you say, should be my mantra as frequently have about a square foot to work in and can't find the thing being used only a nano-second ago!!
Good morning Sue Now this is why this is my favourite blog it's full of inspiration. Since following your blog I look at my dies differently and use them in ways I never thought possible. I love today's video and card thanks for sharing. Hugs x Heather T
Hi Sue, stunning card. Will watch the video when hubby is taking a nap. Lol lynne m & fur babies x x x
The little monsters are playing the part of daddy worshipers to the hilt as hubby is a captive audience due to injury. They lay around him gazing up at him and the daft man falls for it by saying "ah look they are hungry/need to go out/want to play" and I'm the one that has to then cater to their supposed needs. Much to the delight of them if their cheshire cat smiles are anything to go by!!!If hubby wasn't in so much pain with his ribs I'd slap him upside his head, keep trying to tell him that the devious divas are playing him but to no avail. If he says they are his little princesses once more I swear the whole country will hear me scream. The little b's are in for such a rude awakening when hubby eventually goes back to work cuz like an elephant I won't forget all this extra running around after them cuz hubby is daft enough to give in to their sad puppy dog eyes.
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, a really pretty card today, I love the way you have cut and pieced together the dies to make such a lovely edge to them, just brilliant.
Have a great Tuesday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
GM Sue. Love the focal element and must try the broken China tip. Your video has got me in the mood to craft but a mountain of ironing is calling before I do!
Hello Sue, great video, and the card is gorgeous, such lovely colours and use of the dies, just shouts out that spring is on the way. Have a great day. Bx
Good morning Sue and all, firstly may I say I love all of your cards and your videos are wonderful.
Just have to how upsetting I found the comments about visitors who do not comment. Before Christmas I always left a comment, but since them I have had this dreadful virus which Has laid me low in mind and body. No one seem to notice that I was not commenting, but I always visted the blog and read the comments. I did comment once on the die release days, but only to say how much I love the new dies. Sorry to be so long, but I wanted to let you know that I am still here. Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Sorry you have been so poorly and still not 100% we noticed Lillian dont you worry, just get back to your wonderful blog home when you feel better. We will be watching and waiting for you again when you feel upto it xx. Lancashire Steph xx
What a clever girl you are to do this stunning card with that little die and stamp. Just watched the video and can honestly say it never occurred to me to do all these wonderful things you have shared with us. Thank you. xxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue. This is a stunning card. I have to admit to a cheat, i watched this video a couple of weeks ago and i was so impressed with it i bought all the dies and the black eyed susan stamps to make it the only trouble was it took me ages to make as i kept getting my bits mixed up lol but the finished result was beautiful but if it wasn't for your video i would have been totally lost so a BIG thank you for all of your insperationand all your hard work on making all of your videos as i work so much better with visual than just words. Very icey and cold here today so take care everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
morning Sue Today's gift is just beautiful in every way. The flowers turn our heads towards Summer and warm lazy days and your dies just sit beautifully around them. You show us that with just two dies the most beautiful gift can imerge. I bought the Rectangular frame for a friend at Christmas and loved it so much that I just had to buy one for myself as well.
I've just got fingers crossed that today is a lot calmer than yesterday and that I get to my Knit and Natter this afternoon.
To all in pain or suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow. Janet x
Hi Sue, Beautiful card and very springlike which is nice as it's very frosty here this morning! Lynne I'm sure the little divas will get their comeuppance! They are very good at playing one off against the other!! Lillian, I hope you are feeling better - I know this virus that's going around is awful. Had a lovely surprise yesterday. My friend rang up to ask if I would go to the theatre with her tonight as she has a spare ticket. She said , "it's a dance thing, I think it's someone from Strictly" when I looked it turns out that it's Flavia and Vincent! I'm hoping lots of Argentinian Tango - I love the two of them dancing together. So really looking forward to that! Have a good day everyone and sending special hugs to those in pain, down or having treatment. Love to all, Alison xx
Sue, as always, thank you. I would just like to add a comment to Lancashire Steph, in reply to hers yesterday. You may see my name mostly when there is a prize or giveaway and think that I am a "chancer" who only comments on those days. However, although I am sure that some people do that, I have followed Sue's blog every day since I got my tablet 15 months ago. I do not comment every day and although I follow several blogs, this is the only one I DO comment on, as I do not want to join Facebook etc, where most comments have to be left. I also vote for the awards. I am sure that some people only read Sue's blog when there are giveaways, but not all of us.
Good Morning Sue what a stunning card. I loved this one then it was on C&C But looking at it close up it's even better. Off to watch the video now while it's quiet.
Hi Sue - this is such a pretty fresh card. I really like the stamping and colouring round the edges and also the way you have used the dies to cut and make the frame. The video shows this perfectly. Thank you for another great idea. Best wishes YvonneMayxx
Gorgeous card! Have to admit I have watched the video ( excellent ) before too, as I couldnt resist! Really interesting design! Lilian I hope you are feeling better now, it's horrible when illness hits us. Alimecca , you are sooo LUCKY! I love Flavia & Vincent, have a wonderful night! Love and Hugs to all xo
Another beautiful card this morning for which Thank You! I have my first (of many) cup of coffee to hand and am off to watch your video. Enjoy the rest of your day. Margaret A.
Hi Sue My Very Dear Friend, Firstly I'm Sorry For Not Commenting Yesterday But I Was Not Too Good. "WOW WOW WOW" Your Card Today Is Truly Awesome I Love The Colours And The Use Of Die's Which Sadly I Don't Have But I Do Have The Stunning JustRite Stamp Which I Really Love, I Must Admit It's Rare I Purchase Any Other Companies Stamps As I Truly Love Them Stamp So Clearly. The Video As Always Was Outstanding, I Love How You've Gone Around The Edges Of Your Card With The Stamp In Perfect Medium Then Adding The True White Embossing Powder, The Close Up Shots Show It Really Clearly And I Loved How You Cut Into Your Dies, Each And Every Video You Share New Tips And Techniques Which Is Wonderful As I'm Not Very Good At Doing Anything Like That, I Just Have Tended To Use The Dies As They Are Now With Your Guidance I Can Try Something Different, Also I Can Refer Back To The Collection Of Fantastic Video's On YouTube Or Joanna Sheen.

Good morning Sue and everyone A pretty card. Lovely background. After yesterday, Sue, I wasn't going mad. You did actually mention the awards last October and put a link on your blog. And to Lilian, this is why I said yesterday its not for me to judge peoples commenting habits. We don't know everyone's circumstances as you have proved. I hope you are feeling better. Best wishes. Ang x

Hi Sue. This is a gorgeous bright and cheerful card, so fresh and clean, it makes me long for Spring. I love the way you show different ways of cutting your beautiful dies to make more use of them. These Dainty Frames and Tags are so versatile : ) Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care.
I don't have dainty frames but it is a technique I can adapt for one of the frames I do have. I had not thought of layering the frames up like that. Hope you are enjoying the Trade Show.

Hi Sue, A very pretty card today, I have not done a great deal of colouring stamps to date, but after watching this video will have to invest in some colouring equipment. Thanks for the tips regarding altering the die cuts, really helpful. Hugs to all Linda.
Morning Sue. Such a beautiful pretty spring like card you have given us, with a really helpful informative video. What a great interesting way to put those dies together. Hope all went well at the trade show. Love to all. Lancashire Steph xx
Hi Sue What a lovely spring like card today to go with the sunshine. Love the way you have cut the frames. I had hubby commenting throughout as he transmitted it from YouTube onto the TV ! Very technical . Did mean I could hint I hadn't got the frames! Have a great day love Diane G xxx Lillian oh that virus has taken hold hasn't it, so sorry to hear you aren't feeling better yet. Take care of yourself xxx Alimecca wow enjoy the dancing tonight, aren't you lucky xxx
Morning Sue, beautiful creation for today, I don't have these tags but have some others that I could use. Take care everyone, off to watch the video now, Jess x
lovely card today. Using the pieces you cut from the dies to enhance your focal piece really added that extra something to it. Thanks again for another great video Se.
Hi Sue, What a gorgeous card! You are really making me feel Spring has sprung this week. Just watched the video and you are so clever . You really have made me look at dies in a totally different way. Really like today's card. That custard card and the sparkling lemonade pen will be coming out to play! Don't have these dies or stamps but have a nice sunflower set. Lillian - so sorry you have been unwell. There are some pretty nasty bugs going around. Nice to have you back. Alison - l hope you have a super time at the Theatre. x Sam - missed you yesterday and because you have been unwell recently we worry about you. Good to have you back. x Well, I can't put it off any longer - I do try but ironing has to be done! Have a good day everyone, Love Myra xxx
Hi Sue. A beautiful card. These dies are great as the size will be so useful on all sizes of card. Making my wish list of dies today. Thanks again Sue.x
Hello Sue, What a beautiful springlike card, and the video was so helpful in explaining just how you had achieved the lovely focal element. I winced a little when you got your scissors out bit the result was fabulous. Thank you for showing me a different way to use this die, will definitely be snipping into my dainty ornate ovals.
Alison, have a fabulous evening, I am sooo jealous.
Sam, glad you are alright, was a bit worried after last weeks events.
I loved this when you had it on the C+C shows but seeing it made you realise just how simple it is but it is the dies and stamps that make ALL of the difference.
Hi Sue, beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. Love the background, too. So glad the cards from your shows are on your blog - gives us a chance to really take them in, all the lovely nuances.... Is it spring?? Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue A lovely Springlike card today to remind us that Spring is not too far away. The flower stamp is beautiful and like others who have commented I think it would make a lovely Mother's Day card, too. Great video, too! Lesley S x
Good afternoon Sue, and all the ladies. This is a beautiful Spring card, the colours are perfect for Easter, it's pretty and elegant. Alimecca Alison - we will look forward to a demonstration dance if we ever all get together!! Lucky you, enjoy yourself. Where's it at? Sam, so pleased to see you've posted. Quite a few of us were checking to see if you had. Lilian, sorry you've had this bug, I've had it for the 2nd time, this time it's lasted over 4 weeks, but gradually getting better. Everyone have as good a day as you can, and if you're in pain I hope you soon get some relief. xx
Hi Sue, Lovely card, so springlike. I am going to look and learn from the video as I never think of cutting in to the dies. Thank you for all these great tips. Lilian - I hope you feel better soon. I know what you have been going through as I am still battling with a virus and feel washed out.
Gorgeous card Sue. I love sunflowers. Will try something like this with the dies I have next week. At the moment my daughter's visiting with youngest Grandson (3yr old). Every moment is precious when they are young (especially when they live at the other end of the country) Annie P x

Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes, i wish i could highlight just as soft around the edges of my cards Sue but it always looks like a bulldozer has rampaged through it when i try tinting the edges. It starts with that look well what was the point in that and ends up the local disaster area. Your cards is lovely with the dainty tags on the front as it shows just what can be achieved by a small thing. Thank you Sue for another stunning design to tempt us with. Lynne, it wouldn't be so bad if they were your crafting buddies but they're not they are your non crafting buddies namely you get non crafting done because of them. OOOoo they haven't learnt not to wind up their mammy yet have they. Och, maybe they will go for an afternoon nap with daddy and gie folk peace!!!! Lilian in Cornwall, it is lovely to see you back flower. Sorry that you have been laid low with that awful bug but i hope that you are feeling a bit better by each passing day. Have fun tonight that the jigging Alimecca Alison even if it just in your head that you get to dance it should be fun and an unexpected night out is all the better. Well i went to meet up with my friend Di at Falkirk today and you know how helpful some people can be and how unhelpful others, well i parked at the back public entrance to the Howgate and there were 3 men from this water company with the big reel of tubing in the drain. Now they had seen me arriving and gave a wee nob to each other when they seen me put up my badge as if to say "o aye, here's another one". Well having got the legs into gear and the seat back i eventually pulled myself out of the car and around the back with my sticks to get my scooter out. The heads went down as i struggled with the battery and the scooter. It was my own fault i was being Mrs Independant and not waiting on my friend to come and do it as it was raining. They never looked back my way the whole time i got organised and scooted away in. This old lady opens this heavy door to let me in which was really kind. There was electric doors further down but i didn't like to use them with her being so kind. The 3 numpties were sheltering from the spots of rain when i came away. Now only one of them was actually doing anything but that was pushing a button so i think the other 2 were making sure he pressed the right one. I came back absolutely shattered but looking for a car that i can get a ramp for my scooter to go up and down on as this trying to get it out without dropping it like i did today and there's no way can i get it back in myself at all and that is the lightweight model. Well away i go, have a good night everyone and i hope that all our friends that have been having it rough, are on the mend again. Love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
Gorgeous card Sue! I just love yellow and white together so spring like. Don't know how you get the ideas for cutting into the dies and making new shapes. I wish I had a ounce of your knowledge. You make it look so easy. LYNNE great to have you back with regular updates on Tilly and Cully, makes me laugh!
Really unusual the way you have layered up the dies - will have to watch the video tomorrow as there are pancakes and my football team on TV on the menu tonight! Susan x
HI SUE JUST WHEN I THINK YOU CANT DO MUCH MORE YOU COME OUT WITH A CRACKING CARD AND NEW IDEAS. I WONDER HOW MANY DIES I HAVE THAT I CAN MIX AND MATCH FRAMES LIKE THIS. I THINK I MAY HAVE TO GET THESE DIES AS THEY EXPAND SO WELL. THANKS FOR ANOTHER NEAT TRICK. BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX

Hi Sue, It's amazing what YOU can do with 2 small dies and a few pens....I have these dies but whether I can replicate this remains to be seen, but I will have a go. This is one of the things that makes you stand out Sue, the ability to see what you can do with a die. Beautiful card. Love Janet x from Wakefield

ReplyDeleteToday's gift is just beautiful in every way. The flowers turn our heads towards Summer and warm lazy days and your dies just sit beautifully around them. You show us that with just two dies the most beautiful gift can imerge. I bought the Rectangular frame for a friend at Christmas and loved it so much that I just had to buy one for myself as well.
I've just got fingers crossed that today is a lot calmer than yesterday and that I get to my Knit and Natter this afternoon.
To all in pain or suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and very springlike which is nice as it's very frosty here this morning!
Lynne I'm sure the little divas will get their comeuppance! They are very good at playing one off against the other!!
Lillian, I hope you are feeling better - I know this virus that's going around is awful.
Had a lovely surprise yesterday. My friend rang up to ask if I would go to the theatre with her tonight as she has a spare ticket. She said , "it's a dance thing, I think it's someone from Strictly" when I looked it turns out that it's Flavia and Vincent! I'm hoping lots of Argentinian Tango - I love the two of them dancing together. So really looking forward to that!
Have a good day everyone and sending special hugs to those in pain, down or having treatment. Love to all, Alison xx
Sue, as always, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would just like to add a comment to Lancashire Steph, in reply to hers yesterday. You may see my name mostly when there is a prize or giveaway and think that I am a "chancer" who only comments on those days. However, although I am sure that some people do that, I have followed Sue's blog every day since I got my tablet 15 months ago. I do not comment every day and although I follow several blogs, this is the only one I DO comment on, as I do not want to join Facebook etc, where most comments have to be left.
I also vote for the awards.
I am sure that some people only read Sue's blog when there are giveaways, but not all of us.
Good Morning, Sue and all, the sun is shining here, yay!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, I will check out the video later.
Have a good day everyone. Hugs to you all,
Angela in sunny, S. Wales Xx
Good Morning Sue what a stunning card.

Hi Sue - this is such a pretty fresh card. I really like the stamping and colouring round the edges and also the way you have used the dies to cut and make the frame. The video shows this perfectly. Thank you for another great idea. Best wishes

Nice card Sue ... Love the stamping ...have a nice day ....x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue My Very Dear Friend,
ReplyDeleteFirstly I'm Sorry For Not Commenting Yesterday But I Was Not Too Good.
"WOW WOW WOW" Your Card Today Is Truly Awesome I Love The Colours And The Use Of Die's Which Sadly I Don't Have But I Do Have The Stunning JustRite Stamp Which I Really Love, I Must Admit It's Rare I Purchase Any Other Companies Stamps As I Truly Love Them Stamp So Clearly.
The Video As Always Was Outstanding, I Love How You've Gone Around The Edges Of Your Card With The Stamp In Perfect Medium Then Adding The True White Embossing Powder, The Close Up Shots Show It Really Clearly And I Loved How You Cut Into Your Dies, Each And Every Video You Share New Tips And Techniques Which Is Wonderful As I'm Not Very Good At Doing Anything Like That, I Just Have Tended To Use The Dies As They Are Now With Your Guidance I Can Try Something Different, Also I Can Refer Back To The Collection Of Fantastic Video's On YouTube Or Joanna Sheen.
Thank You Sue For Sharing.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! You are really making me feel Spring has sprung this week. Just watched the video and you are so clever . You really have made me look at dies in a totally different way. Really like today's card. That custard card and the sparkling lemonade pen will be coming out to play! Don't have these dies or stamps but have a nice sunflower set.
Lillian - so sorry you have been unwell. There are some pretty nasty bugs going around. Nice to have you back.
Alison - l hope you have a super time at the Theatre. x
Sam - missed you yesterday and because you have been unwell recently we worry about you. Good to have you back. x
Well, I can't put it off any longer - I do try but ironing has to be done!
Have a good day everyone,
Love Myra xxx

I winced a little when you got your scissors out bit the result was fabulous. Thank you for showing me a different way to use this die, will definitely be snipping into my dainty ornate ovals.
Alison, have a fabulous evening, I am sooo jealous.

ReplyDeleteGood evening Sue and the Wilsonettes,
ReplyDeletei wish i could highlight just as soft around the edges of my cards Sue but it always looks like a bulldozer has rampaged through it when i try tinting the edges. It starts with that look well what was the point in that and ends up the local disaster area. Your cards is lovely with the dainty tags on the front as it shows just what can be achieved by a small thing. Thank you Sue for another stunning design to tempt us with.
Lynne, it wouldn't be so bad if they were your crafting buddies but they're not they are your non crafting buddies namely you get non crafting done because of them. OOOoo they haven't learnt not to wind up their mammy yet have they. Och, maybe they will go for an afternoon nap with daddy and gie folk peace!!!!
Lilian in Cornwall, it is lovely to see you back flower. Sorry that you have been laid low with that awful bug but i hope that you are feeling a bit better by each passing day.
Have fun tonight that the jigging Alimecca Alison even if it just in your head that you get to dance it should be fun and an unexpected night out is all the better.
Well i went to meet up with my friend Di at Falkirk today and you know how helpful some people can be and how unhelpful others, well i parked at the back public entrance to the Howgate and there were 3 men from this water company with the big reel of tubing in the drain. Now they had seen me arriving and gave a wee nob to each other when they seen me put up my badge as if to say "o aye, here's another one". Well having got the legs into gear and the seat back i eventually pulled myself out of the car and around the back with my sticks to get my scooter out. The heads went down as i struggled with the battery and the scooter. It was my own fault i was being Mrs Independant and not waiting on my friend to come and do it as it was raining. They never looked back my way the whole time i got organised and scooted away in. This old lady opens this heavy door to let me in which was really kind. There was electric doors further down but i didn't like to use them with her being so kind. The 3 numpties were sheltering from the spots of rain when i came away. Now only one of them was actually doing anything but that was pushing a button so i think the other 2 were making sure he pressed the right one. I came back absolutely shattered but looking for a car that i can get a ramp for my scooter to go up and down on as this trying to get it out without dropping it like i did today and there's no way can i get it back in myself at all and that is the lightweight model.
Well away i go, have a good night everyone and i hope that all our friends that have been having it rough, are on the mend again. Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Gorgeous card Sue! I just love yellow and white together so spring like. Don't know how you get the ideas for cutting into the dies and making new shapes. I wish I had a ounce of your knowledge. You make it look so easy.
ReplyDeleteLYNNE great to have you back with regular updates on Tilly and Cully, makes me laugh!
Lovely sunny card Sue - went with the lovely sunny day we had to-day. Makes you think Spring is here! As usual an inspirational card.
