shows! LOL
Now on to the card(s)! I can't believe that I have forgotten to post Izzy's butterfly idea from the Orion die! I even have two cards to show today to make up for my blunder! The first card is the demo card that I did in Feb. I started with a piece of coconut white card where I had cut the bottom using the cutting edge from the Orion die. I embossed it with the Bed Of Roses embossing folder for texture. I cut the Orion die in Blush card using both cutting edges and glued it to the bottom of the embossed panel. I added a piece of blush card that I sugared with Diamond Sprinkles so it was just peeking out from beneath. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the New York Collection tag and inked it with Spun Sugar before removing it from the die. I made the butterfly by cutting up two of the Orion dies. Rather than trying to explain how I cut it, Izzy kindly made me a sort of template showing how it was cut and I have included it below. It is so much easier to follow that way! My antennae are a bit different, but it just shows you more options. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size.
The second card is pretty self explanatory, using the same embossing folder. I added a few small butterflies from the Magical Butterfly die set. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 9" in size. All in all, a really fun way to have a play with your dies to see what else you can create, don't you think? All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all, this is so beautiful, two stunning cards, love them both, but the White has the edge for me
We have a lovely morning here, hope it holds for the weekend.
Have a great day everyone
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such beautiful butterflies on the cards today, amazing, and thanks for the template on how to make them.
As to your shows they were all fabulous, as was John's, when are you back???
Looking forward to seeing the new dies, saw a picture of them all on an email yesterday, amazing.
Have a great Friday everyone, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Wow...stunning cards, and such a huge butterfly!
Gorgeous cards today Sue and I just adore that butterfly and am so glad that you have a template for them. Thank you so much Izzy and Sue.xxx

Morning Sue.
Thank you so much, two beautiful cards. Thank you Izzy for the template. Have a good weekend all. Sue the new dies look brilliant cannot wait to see the demos. Kitty.
Good morning Sue,
Izzy's card is very delicate looking just what I like, the other card is just a bit bright for me but in softer colours I would make it. Sue you deserve to be tired after the shows & your dies are beautiful you should be doubly proud of them. Thanks for all your lovely products & inspiration. Yvonne xx
Very pretty cards. The red and black are so striking.

Lovely card Sue, am still watching the demos I recorded.
Hi Sue
Both cards stunning I like the first one better thank you tracyw
Morning Sue, both these cards are gorgeous, love the vibrant red one. Still have to catch up with the shows, but it sounds like a resounding success. Have a great Friday all. Bx
Hi Sue glad you're enjoying the aftermath of your knockout shows....your a big hit.....!
love the two cards today.... chalk and cheese ....can't quite make up my mind...the red one is fractionally in the lead....I'm so glad I didn't have to choose one from your bundle of samples from potd because all of them were stunning...
Luv Rach :)
Hi Sue. I love both cards, just can't decide between them but I know now that I'm going to have to get the roses EF! Hope that you are resting after your hectic couple of days, your shows were brilliant.
Wow Izzy - your ideas are amazing, you had us all making "Izzy bags", now it's going to be your butterflies. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
This is why we love your dies Sue,you can do so much with them,great show`s, cant wait for your new collection, thank you, Linda x
Hi Sue
Two very pretty cards showing just how versatile your fabulous dies are! Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs.
Two great cards I can even see a smaller butterfly within the big one xx just seen your new collection of dies Sue, they are stunning xx
Morning Sue from a very misty dull morning her in Burgundy.
How to finish off a fantastic week for everyone giving us two for the price of one. Both gifts beautiful and outstanding.
I hope that you may have a reasonable week-end to relax or is that an impossible ask?
Well it's our last Friday here for a while and so it has to be actions stations for the next two days.
To all in pain and suffering I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Two smashing cards, similar but sooo different!!!

Good morning Sue
This is why we love you, your so generous in sharing yours and other people's ideas with us. I love both cards it's amazing how a colour can make them look so different from each other. Thank you Izzy for the template I must try to replicate this amazing butterfly can't wait to see what you come up with next lol. The samples were FABULOUS I would love to just go through them all it would be my idea of heaven. Sue you will always have our support it must be nerve racking when there are so many 'die' shows,but as you can see you had everyone's support. I'm excited for your next launch although my Bank Manager isn't lol.
Hugs x
Heather T
Morning Sue, Izzy is a very intuitive girlie, I would never have thought to do this, and culminates in these fabulous butterflies, genius !!
Both cards are gorgeous.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
GM Sue. Love both cards and Izzy's butterfly. Lovely. I see John posted the card I spied and mentioned on your blog yday. Not sure if that was pure coincidence or you had a word maybe? The latter I suspect. But either way thank you both. I am going to have a go at that when the dies arrive. Glad to hear you have recovered. This virus thing is getting there slowly and if its what you had also I don't know how you do it!! Happy Friday!
Two beautiful cards-I think I like the second card mire as its so striking. Still got two more shows to watch-they've been a great source of inspiration so far..
Michele
Morning Sue

Hi Sue and all
Two beautiful cards and the butterfly is so clever- Orion added to the list!
Have a lovely weekend everyone,
Muriel x
Good morning Sue and everyone
A super twofer (didn't ABBA do a song about that?) today and what a clever idea for the butterfly Izzy. Both look splendid.
Must say, after that gruelling schedule on Wednesday, you looked fresh as a daisy yesterday.
Have a great day.
Ang x
Good morning Sue and everyone
What a lovely post. Because you always look so professional and calm on TV it's easy to think that nothing would bother you. The fact that you may get a little nervous about the actual shows is very endearing.
However, you have such a huge following of genuine fans who appreciate your talent and your kindness and generosity that you can certainly count on our support for future shows.
Two beautiful cards today. Thank you, and thanks to Izzy again for the butterfly instructions.
Love Helen xxx
Both cards are beautiful! I managed to watch the shows yesterdayI had recorded and they were wonderful, sorry I didn't get to send in an email but you had an abundance!
Hope you manage some rest and relaxation when you are in Florida with your mom, you definitely deserve it!
Love and hugs to all xo
Good morning Sue,
Two STUNNING cards, what a fantastic idea from our Izzy, love it. Will definitely have a go at this later.
Have a good day

Two absolutely stunning cards and showing again how if you think outside the box you can make even more wonderful creations xx GailT xx
Hi Sue. Pleased you are feeling a little more rested today and thanks for letting us all see your lovely cards. SueL x
Morning Sue, such pretty cards, who can go wrong with a butterfly. Thank you to Izzy for sharing her handbags and butterfly. Hope you manage a couple of quiet days to recover.
Wendyx
Morning Sue, two beautiful cards, both stunning in their own right. Thanks for the template, I don't think my old brain would run to working it out without. Thank you Izzy for the idea and you to Sue for sharing it.
Love Rosemarie xx
That butterfly is amazing. I love both cards.
Anne (Northampton)
You must have been truly exhausted after all those demos Sue! You were a joy to watch though. These butterfly cards are lovely. What a good idea. We should all do as many things as we can with the dies in order that we get real value for the money that we invest in collecting them. Before I bought a die cutting machine I thought it would be an extravagance as a die would only be a kind of "one off" use. Since watching you I know different! Thanks for all the great ideas. x
Morning Sue. WOW love both of these cards for different reason's. The white one is clean and crisp the second one because it's so colourful and striking. Izzy must be a very clever lady as i think her bags and now her butterflies are amazing. Your show's were great with load's of new idea's with all of your usual hint's and tip's but most of all your fantastic insperation. Have a restful weekend and recharge your batteries lol.
Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
PS. Forgot to say my stamp's came yesterday they are beautiful. Thank You.x
Beautiful cards and I just love all butterflies. Well done on your shows x
Hello Sue
I love both cards and the butterfly is so clever and pretty. How brilliant of Izzy to come up with the idea.
Thank you for sharing.
Love
Roz.x
The shows were brilliant To have so many samples from various people just shows how fantastic your dies are I can imagine how nerve wracking it must have been I get nervous making a card wondering if the recipient will like it let alone a whole range of products! Izzy is so so talented and love both cards you've made with the "butterfly" I'd sort if dismissed Orion as something I could live without BUT not anymore!
Beautiful cards. Gorgeous butterfly.
Hi Sue and Izzy
Both fab cards with Izzy's butterfly inspiration - always good to look at other ideas with the dies - something I need a push with!
Only saw two shows but know how hectic it must have been, Sue, but SO successful, you should be proud. It's always great to see your lovely smiling self, just wish it was more often.
Hope you have some downtime now and enjoy it.
OMG more new dies on the way? Will never catch up. Help.

Hi Sue, 2 beautiful cards today. I love butterflies. Will try to watch all your shows over the weekend as still trying to get rid of my blasted cough which unfortunately is hanging on. Can't wait for your new dies. Lol lynne m & pesky critters x x x
Morning Sue. Stunning cards and Izzy is so inventive with your dies. Just goes to show how versatile you have designed them. Hope we get to see all the samples not shown on C&C as I do love to see them all for inspiration.
Good morning Sue,
Two beautiful cards today, I must confess when I first looked at your blog I thought you had a new butterfly die. So pleased you have included Izzys layout for these beautiful butterflies. For me the layout is easy to follow.
Hope you are going to take it easy for a few days, take care lots of love, Brendan XXX
Hi Sue , Love both cards so glad you have shown us how to do the butterflies .love Jean Z xx

Morning Sue, two gorgeous cards showcasing how clever Izzy is!!! The first one is my favourite,, but I also like the red one.
Hope you are having a well deserved rest after your hectic schedule, the demos were brilliant, thakyou for all your inspiration.
Take care, Jess x
Hi Sue,
The butterflies are amazing!
One of the cards that caught my eye on your show and also at Ally Pally was the one that that has lots of brightly coloured flowers around a circular aperture within a frame made with the Noble Square.
Thank you for sharing.
Veronique L
Hi Sue
Both cards are stunning. Love Izzys butterfly idea and thanks for showing the template. My favourite is the second card. Wondering how you could possibly have time to make 136 samples or Johns 68. Takes me all day to think up and create 2!! x
Hi Sue -love both of the cards but love the white one more! Your shows were absolutely brilliant and it's such a shame we don't get to see all the samples after all the work you put into making them, but thank goodness for your blog! You should never be worried about whether people like your dies or not - proof is in the number of emails in the cup at the end of all your shows!! Have a wonderful time in Florida with your mum. Best wishes

Hi Sue,
Love both cards but the black glossy butterfly just has the edge for me...and would look fabulous glittered up too...
Yvonne _ I didn't make either of the cards, both made by Sue...
Karenlotty - noooo!...you can't possibly live without the Orion set!!....lol
Ladies - I hope my "how-to-cut" template is useful to you...as you can see from the pics of the template and Sue's cards there are at least two versions of the butterfly - and maybe even more...and that central section of the lower black diecut sample looks so like a lacy ladybird if you imagine a red body underneath it...worth a try anyway...
Izzy
Good morning Sue and fellow Wilsonettes,
What fantastic, entertaining and informative shows they were Sue, I hope you will take a well-earned rest now my dear.
I love both these cards and the flutterbys, stunning, simply stunning!!!
Its beginning to brighten up a bit outside so I will be tackling the protection stuff for my decking today.
Love & hugs to all those in need of one. My basket is overflowing with them waiting to jump into your arms.
Cheryl xxx
Hi Sue. Hope you are recovered from your marathon!! I just love these butterflies. So clever of Izzy to 'find' them in your beautiful dies. Well done to you both and thanks for sharing this brilliant technique. Love Diane x

Both cards are really stunning but I am leaning towards the red and black one as my personal favourite.
Hi Sue, two beautiful cards.
Hi Sue
Thank you for showing us two beautiful cards today and thank you Izzy for the butterfly template, it really is gorgeous (yes I spotted the ladybird too! ). Both cards are really beautiful Sue but I think the top one has the edge ......at the moment! I hope you have a lovely weekend relaxing and doing things you love, you deserve it after such a busy week. Take care of yourself
Love Diane G xxx
Who doesn't like a butterfly! These two are lovely :)
Love both of the cards .. Watched all the shows and WOW I Want most of them :)
Beautiful cards once again Sue (and izzy), always good to see different ways to use the dies. Thank you. P.s, congrats on the potd shows. Hugs, Theresa. Xx
WOW Sue what stunners these cards are and the butterflies are gorgeous, thank you one again for you inspiration. All the shows were fantastic, you certainly had some samples, loads and loads, thank you izzy for the template of the butterfly is so lovely, crafty hugs everyone, Johanna
Sue, You know that we always love your dies so please.....stop worrying. I must have missed the Izzy bags but I love how she has made us a template for a butterfly. A girl can never have too many butterflies as they always look so beautiful on a card. If I had to choose between the two cards it would have to be the white one. Have a great weekend. Hugs xxPauline A
Really enjoyed the POTD shows, and my dies,card,and pretty corners have just arrived. Can't wait to play. What a great idea of your friends to make a butterfly from the die. Very clever as are her handbags, which I have made,and they are beautiful. Thank you for all your hard work and wonderful inspiration. Xx
Hi Sue,
so stunning, both of them. Izzy is such a lovely person, showing us how it's done - I shall keep that template safe!
Surprise surprise, but it's the second card that appeals to me more, simply because of the colour. I need red in my life.
Also, have seen your new dies today, there are a lot of tempters in there for sure, will have to ponder which ones to pick.
Enjoy your time with you mom.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, both lovely cards today with very different looks, serene and dramatic, just shows the versatility of your dies. The butterfly snipping template is great and the bags we saw on the shows were amazing. Izzy is a very clever paper engineer!
The shows were great and seeing all the demos and samples is so inspiring.
Enjoy a well earned break in Florida, blessings - Deb C xx
These butterflys are gorgeous - so clever!
Wow, never would have thought of using that die to create a butterfly, how clever! Think I need to have a bit of a play with my dies and a pair of scissors! Have a wonderful time away, you deserve it. Love to everyone Sarah
Hi Sue, I loved the first card when you demonstrated it on TV and now I love the second one as well. Two totally contrasting cards but equally beautiful and I cannot choose between them.
The gorgeous weather of the last 10 days has vanished and today it is somewhat overcast and the rain is threatening so it may be a week-end for less gardening and more crafting :-)
Frances
Hi Sue
From bags to butterflies, Izzy, you are so clever! Sue, Hope you recovered from a crazy 24 hrs.
I seriously need the Caribbean dies now! They were just stunning! I can't seen to always get a clear idea of what a die looks like in 2 colours, I see to need to see the shapes cut! I had to buy kitchen stuff so I was limited this time around but I'm not disappointed as the dies I brought arrived today and they are stunning. Sadly I'm shattered and very sore as had to go out to see the practice nurse yesterday (hence no comment). I'm dozing off trying to do this so I'll go now. Still no heating but too shattered to chase up.
Extra special happy hugs to all, extra in reserve if anyone needs more x

Afternoon Sue. Phone kept crashing, just how you feel huh ? Or are you still buzzing lol. When you feel uneasy about showing new dies, just remember just how many of your family are supporting you throughout your show's. We will allow you a few nerves,of course you are, after all they are your babies, but after seeing so many pictures of cards emailed it should prove to you just how many of us adore your die collections both the older sets and the newer collections. We will always be by your side.
Two beautiful cards today plus an Izzy tut, wow what a lovely end to our week. Like Heather T I could spend all day going through and stoking your samples, just like Ive stroked my card from your show last week, its perfection personified Sue, all so.straight and even (considering you dont measure your card your eyes must be spot on lol although we know you struggle with the monitors lol !!!
Well our Izzy is so clever, I remeber catching flies when you first showed us her bags and butterflies, wow. Ive also recorded all the show's you did and keep going back to Deborahs cards too, totally stunning.
Well, in for wintery showers the weekend here in Lancs so if you are off for a birthday party please enjoy your time dare I mention rest ?
I shall send my love and hugs to all, and a big hug to you Sue to say "well done and dont be nervous anymore"
Love.
Lancashire Steph xxx
Really love these
Beautiful cards today, butterflies are always a winner. Your shows were amazing and i watched everyone and enjoyed seeing all of the stunning cards.
Hi Sue,
Two beautiful cards today, but my favourite is the first one. Well done to Izzy for her beautiful butterfly! Still catching up with your shows and am thoroughly enjoying watching them. Great samples (& so many!!!).
Sorry haven't commented for a couple of days but have been spending a lot of time at hospital visiting. Things are going downhill very quickly with my aunt bless her. Going into hospice on Monday.
Weather looks like it's going to get worse as well, but it has been glorious for the last couple of days - nice while it lasted.
Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Wow we are being spoilt today with two beautiful stunning cards.
I really enjoyed the shows and have seen a sneaky preview of the new dies and they are gorgeous and can't wait to get my hands on them.
Hi Sue,
I love today's card the Orion die is just so versatile. Don't be away too long, it's just not the same without you doing the demos.
You were absolutely great on the POTD you are one SUPER TALENTED DESIGNER CRAFTY STAR. I know you were nervous after working on your 'creations' for so long but believe me, there was certainly NO need for 'stage show nerves'. You are the QUEEN OF DIE CRAFTING - THE WORLD OVER.
As I am disabled I watch C&C most of the time, and to me, YOU are the BEST QUEST DESIGNER EVER! I am sure many people will agree.
Take Care, lots of love JJ
These are both so pretty but the white one has stolen my heart! Absolutely magnificent! I am breathless just looking at it!! TFS!
Another idea. After leaving my comment, I went back to "train my eyes" and saw a lady bug in the center piece left from the butterfly cut from the Orion die. How about that, nothing goes to waste!
Beautiful cards both of them. But the colours on the second are so striking and has to be my fav. Love the die and the butterfly.
Hi Sue
Again some beautiful cards today. Quite glad you forgot Izzy's butterfly card because we get to see two cards!
Going to have a go at cutting into my dies and see if I can get something as great as you have produced.
Keep up your fantastic blog.
Lol Barbara W
PS loved the POTD shows!
Good Morning, Your cards are beautiful . . . especially, the big butterfly on this one. May I ask how did you create the wonderful antennae? I noticed that you have them in white and on another card in black. It's a great finishing touch that I'd like to learn. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards and have a great day.
Blessings,
Cyntia
Oh how I wish my thought process worked even at 10 % of yours Sue. I am always amazed at the different ways you use your dies, so thank you for sharing your ideas. Totally loved all the shows and my Greek collection has arrived already

Two pretty butterfly cards today. I just love these. Just shows how versatile your dies are. Many thanks to Izzy for the template.
Hi Sue
Isn't Izzy a very clever lady the die does make a beautiful butterfly.
The shows where great viewing.
Beautiful!
Hi Sue,
Wow, isn't Izzy a clever girl! The cards are absolutely lovely. The white one is my favourite but both are beautiful! Thanks so much for including the diagram showing how to cut out the butterfly! I have pinned it! I did that just after lunch and meant to post after that but got distracted! Already my Pin has been Pinned by three others! That's how we spread the word that you are the best! Izzy well done!
My diagonal Die arrived today! Lovely!
Heather know exactly what you mean - I'd love to do that too.
Alison - sorry about your Auntie will keep you and Auntie in my thoughts and prayers.
Have a good weekend everyone,
Love Myra xxx. Norah xx
Good evening Sue,
I love both these cards. The butterflies are so beautiful and it's so amazing that they were made from the Orion die. Take care, Ivy L xx
Sue, two fabulous cards today, very clever to cut the butterfly from the die ( thank you Izzy, for the template ). Have now watched all the shows from C&C and not only have square eyes, but the minds gone completely, first I decide on one selection then I see more samples and change my mind! again and again! then to top it off an E Mail with a sneak peak at your new collection, now there's no chance of me being able to make a decision until they are released. Will be working forever, lol, to fund my habit! Hugs to all, Linda.
Oh My, I love that Butterfly! I have quite a few butterfly dies, but really can you ever have too many...The contrast between the roses embossing on the white and the coral color is nice to see together too. Gorgeous cards.
Beautiful cards Sue, really love the butterfly. xx
How clever! Love the black and red one - really great. Will try to catch up with all the recordings tomorrow I hope, Susan x
Really enjoyed the show Sue, cards and inspiration truly fantastic. Loving how you used the butterfly in different ways! Gorgeous cards.
Two amazing cards today. The first one is my favourite. An ingenious idea with the butterfly

Your shows were amazing as always.
Have seen the new dies on Craftworld and have already chosen my favourites, really love the Noble ones but then when I see your samples I will want them all.

Love the bed of roses embossing folder & must get that right away as it's so pretty.
Thank you for sharing the diagram of how to make the butterfly from your Orion die, much appreciated..

Lovely butterflies on gorgeous cards. Love your shows Sue and I want all of the dies, they are just stunning. Pat x
PWhat lovely cards they are both attractive in a different way. Hope you have recovered from the shows.
Hi Sue. WOW !! Not one but two beautiful cards today !! I love the Butterfly that Izzy made with the Orion Dies. It is very pretty and delicate. Such a lovely shape to it as well. So beautiful !! Well I really love both of the cards but I think my favourite one would be the second one but with a more Pastel colour combo instead of the bright colour card. I love everything about both cards and using the Orion as a border on the first card really gives it a great finishing touch. The swirly pearls look fab on the second card and your beautiful little butterflies provide the perfect finishing touch. Thanks to you Sue, and Izzy to for two beautiful butterfly cards.
Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x

Very pretty cards Sue.
Two fabulous cards. Butterflies are lovely. Thanks Izzy for the template.
I'm still playing catch-up with the POTD shows. Hope you have some rest over the weekend, Sue.
Thinking of you and your aunt, Alimecca.
Take care everyone.
Both cards are beautiful,love them both. Thanks to Izzy for letting us all know how to make this majestic butterfly.
Glad that you have recovered from the shows and have many samples to keep your blog going for several months!
Thank you so much for including this card Sue. I saw you do it on C&C and recorded it for future reference ... Unfortunately I deleted it by mistake, and was so disappointed because I had the dies but couldn't remember how it was made, so am delighted you have put it on your blog. Many thanks to Izzy also for the original idea.. xx
I am such a big fan of all your dies. I do wish there was somewhere to buy them here in Canada. And the tips and tricks have been a great influence on how I make my cards. And as per usual what stunning cards.
Thanks again

REALLY LOVE this idea of the Butterfly. Gonna have to try it! Thanks for posting how-to-cut pics. ALSO in LOVE with all of your mega gorgeous embossing folders that are truly unique. The rose background EF here is also absolutely stunning. :)
