Hi bloggers! You have to think taupe, black and red for this one as I know the pics look a bit on the pinkish side (sorry, not sure why!) Great layout for a guy's card and I actually have two versions of this card to show you as well. I used the
New York background, cutting it in black card twice. I left a small border around it both times. I cut a quarter off of each of them, then reassembled them with the two larger parts to create and square background rather the rectangle of the original die shape. I matted it on taupe card. For the centre of the card, I used the
Union die and cut it in black as the backdrop, then I cut it again in red and nipped it into four pieces which I reassembled to make a smaller square to fit inside the black centre of the original die cut. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
tag from the New York Collection and inked it with
Black Soot before removing it from the die. I added
cream flatback pearls as embellishments and finished it with my usual paper piercing and matting and layering. The finished size for this one is 8 1/4" x 8 14" in size. If you scroll all the way to the last picture, I have made the same card but without the New York Background so it is a much smaller version (about 6" x 6"). Both cards would be great for the men in our lives though I would say, wouldn't you?
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:
Jacqui oakes-alcock!!!

Morning Sue. WOW These are two striking card's using my favourite die collection. It doesn't matter how many card's you make using the New York collection you alway's find something new to do with them. I love the way you cut into the shape's to make new one's and yes by changing the colour's they would be great for the men. Congratulation's to jacqui on winning your beautiful card. Wishing your lovely mom a Happy Mother's Day for this weekend. Hope you all have a lovely time.
Take care everyone. It's another horrible rainy,foggy day.
Best Wishes.

Good morning Sue and everyone
These are both lovely cards. I really like the New York collection. I have the the border, corner and tags set and the union square, but would like them all...
Love how Sue encourages us to cut into the dies, we probably would never have wanted to if she had not shown us how lovely the results can be.
Have a good weekend everyone.
Love Helen xxx
Good morning Sue and "thank you for everything" Congratulations to all who were lucky enough to win a Die in Sue's generous "give away" have fun using them.

Have a great weekend

Lovely card Sue. Congratulations to all who won including Jaquie today x
Hi Sue what a striking card I think the New York background is so dramatic and your colours make everything so vibrant...wow
Luv Rach :)
Morning Sue, a fantastic card it dies look red on my IPad and gorgeous. Congratulations to all the lucky winners of the dies.
Nancyd xx
A very dramatic look for today's card, Sue! I love it. Jo xx
Good morning Sue
I love both versions but I'll have imagine the colours you've used because on my screen it's Black, Red and White. It would be great for the men in our lives but in different colours it would be fabulous as a ' girlie' card. I love how you've changed the shapes of each die I've learned so much from you Thank You!
Congratulations Jacquie enjoy your prize.
Hugs x
Heather T
First of all Congratulations to all the Very Lucky Winners ! ( especially the person who won the Canadian background, I've been trying to buy it from JS and it's sold out , again , so I'm on her waiting list for it)
I like the second of today's cards best, the first one is a bit busy for me ,but maybe in softer tones would suit me better.
Congratulations to Jacqui on winning the Wednesday card, enjoy!
Love and hugs to all xo
Hi Sue and all that drop by today. Many congrats to all new die winners ( I did leave my best wishes on the announcement post yesterday) and congrats to Jacqui for winning the Wednesday card giveaway, I won that fabulous card during Sue's pick of the day and believe you me you will LOVE it, every line and cut is precision perfect and the shade of purple is beautiful, so beautiful I just HAD to own my own supply. So enjoy it.
I have to say that this sample today really stands out and yes I agree its not to OTT to be a man card. It never fails to amaze me how every single die inter-reacts with all the other dies, all I need to do is remember that ! Im not at all imaginative so find it hard to actually see in my minds eye what goes with what. I remember sometime last year one of our sister Wilsonettes mentioned she cuts her dies on scrap paper and puts them in a folder to help her see what will go well with what and how to layer them up to get the best results from your dies, I also remember saying it was a fab idea... Maybe its time to actually do that myself so I can sit and play with the precut dies and put various collections together, sounds fun too : ) I hope its not too long before JS re-stocks her shelf as there are a couple of the new dies id love to have, but so happy for you Sue that they are selling out fast as that means they are another sucess (as we all knew they would be).
Hope everyone has a decent day and those friends that are not so well feel better soon.
Love to all.
Lancashire Steph xxx
Hi Sue,
I really like this! Even though there is a lot of black, I think it works very well with the red. I must admit that the taupe actually looks white on my iPad but that colour combination is good for me! Congratulations to Jacqui on winning the card. - enjoy it
Well my lovely aunt finally lost her battle late last night and she is now at peace thankfully.
Love and hugs to everyone, Alison xxx
Good morning Sue. What a treat, two designs and both very eye catching (the colours come across as red, black and white on my tablet). A very clever way of changing the shape of the background die and I agree that both cards would be suitable for the men in our lives. Must remember this one-thank you! X
Good morning Sue, Happy Mothers Day (USA). What a fab card I love the colours so bold. Congrats to Jacqui
Have a great weekend!!! Loopy Lynda xxx
Morning Sue

Really striking card. Great design.
Hi Sue. A two-fer for us to enjoy today. I love both and agree that they are "male friendly" cards : ) The more I see the New York background the more I love it, it is so versatile. I am still struggling with which to order first but think this one is a certainty : )
Have a good weekend.
Sending my daily hugs to everyone. Take care xx
What a beautiful striking card Sue am loving these dies. Thanks for sharing hugs xxx
Hi Sue,
Very striking cards today. Love how you cut into your dies and make a completely different look.
I was one of the lucky die winners and would like to congratulate all the other lucky die winners. Couldn't believe it when I saw my name.
Love Janet x
from Wakefield
Hi Sue,
Love both versions and how versatile are the New Yorkers, you can use them as they come or cut them up and they still look fabulous...
Congrats to all the die winners, happy crafting!...
Izzy
Good morning Sue today's card is fantastic I love the dies and the colours you have used. As you say a great masculine card. Have a great day. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue and all.
I prefer the second card today. It really shows off the intricacy of the dies. Both gorgeous though as usual.
Sorry about your Aunty Alison. God bless. RIP.
Big hug
Julie E
Ps congrats to Jaquie.
Two stunning cards,have to imagine taupe as they look black,red and white on my screen.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners of dies and cards.
Hi Sue - two brilliant cards today, we are being so spoiled! Love both of them and can imagine them in various colours and great for men. I do love the way you make squares out of rectangles and just wish I had a fraction of your imagination. The New York collection has been one of my favourites and I'm now in a dilemma as to which of your new ones to buy - think I will have to just go down the list!!! Many congratulations to all the lucky winners yesterday and also to Jacqui for winning Sue's beautiful card. Have a good weekend, best wishes
YvonneMayxx
I love the colours on this card, Sue. I know what you mean about photographing red and black. I recently made a piece of lace in red & black and it is almost impossible to get a decent photo of it.
Anne (Northampton)
Hi Sue, Both cards are lovely I wish I could make cards like you do, they never seem to come out right. Oh well must practise more.
Have a great weekend

Morning Sue,
I like the design of this card it's beautiful, but I think I would do it in different colours.

Hello Sue, this is a winning colour combo for me, and 2 lovely cards, really showing how versatile the dies are and how well they work together. Congrats to all the lucky winners of the dies and to Jacqui for winning the card giveaway. Have a great day. Bx

Hi Sue,
I like this card but would prefer different colours.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Alison - sincere sympathy on the loss of your dear aunt
Pat xxx
Really pretty card, nice and bright too!
Hi Sue,
Two stunning cards and I really like the red,taupe and black. I can imagine that you can use different colours to change the look. I don't have any of the New York dies yet but think some of them need to go on my wish list.
Thanks for the inspiration and well done to all of the winners.
Heather
The classic colour combo of Black, Red and White using my favourite dies of all the New York Collection. What a way to start the weekend. Had my new dies arrive yesterday and can't wait to start crafting with them, so congrats to all the winners and enjoy!!
Morning Sue, Another of my favourite die sets. Great for man cards, I love the colour combo.
My condolences Alison, your Aunt is at peace now.
Congratulations to all yesterday's winners, not envious, no not one little bit - well maybe a bit. I know you will all be thrilled with your new dies.
Love a Rosemarie xx
Morning Sue
We are back to rain, wind and cold this morning. What is happening to the Weather Gods this year. Are they still in their winter sleep. If so I wish they'd wake up lol.
Sue what a fantastic card for those pesky males in our lives. I love love the format of both gifts and I know of one male who would absolutely love your colour palette for today. I'm so pleased your haven't asked for a favourite of the two as for me that would be impossible.
Given how it is outside this morning I would love to stay in and craft but it's our Saturday to meet our Niece and her two little ones so UJ had better prepare himself for a couple of hours of a 8 and 6 year old. No doubt he'll be in R&R mode this afternoon.
Congratulations to all the very lucky winners. I hope that most of your will stay with us on this No.1 Blog in the craft world. It doesn't take long to leave a little comment and support Sue 52wks a year and not only 2/3weeks.
To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.

Gorgeous card this morning, striking colours

Hi Sue and all Wilsonettes. Firstly I would like to send my sincere condolences to you Alison on the loss of your dear Aunty, I'm sure we all send you hugs to show our support and to help you through a difficult time x x x I lost my Aunty Patricia who lived in Leeds before Christmas, it is not easy but just give yourself time and happier memories will return more and more to your thoughts.
Congratulations Jacqui on winning Sue's Wednesday Giveaway, you are sooooo lucky, I don't do jealousy but is a little tiny fraction of envy ok...lol...I'm sure you'll enjoy your wonderful Sue gift.
Finally I would like to Thank you Sue for the 2 stunning creations you have posted for us today,the colours are fabulous. I can see this design in a dark blue and cream or black and cream, for male, and purple and cream for female...hark at me ...lol. My husbands birthday is on 23rd May but my mojo had hibernated...but now thanks to you Sue it was immediately awakened when I saw your stunning creations today, especially as I have the dies needed. Anyways, take care to Sue and all Wilsonettes and whishing you a peaceful weekend...Happy Mothers Day to your youthful Mum Sue x x x Love Beth B

Good morning Sue like how you have made one centrepiece and then expanded it to make the larger card which is a good idea to keep mind love from Jackie xx
what a fab colour combination showing these dies off to perfection
Hello Sue
Looked again and yes now I can see two cards lol!
Love Marg
Very vibrant striking card today Sue.
It's been hard to choose which of your new dies to get first but the finishing touches always get more than one look before decision time. Guess what?
Yes, the Paeonies, Maidenhead Fern and Dandelion clocks won hands down. They are so delicate and I've already made and sent my first card from them.
Rather a dull downcast start to this morning, let's hope it brightens up later.
Congratulations to all the winners of the blog draw and the Wednesday giveaway. Lovely to see so many familiar names amongst the winners.
Keep posting ladies so Sue remains in Number 1 spot.
Love & hugs to all

Great card for the men in our lives but this card would look great in girlie colours too.
Very striking cards today. I think I prefer the second one with the plainer background as it makes the topper with your lovely dies just pop so much more. Congrats to all the winners of your lovely dies. Annie xxx

Hi Sue, loving the colours of today's card.I will have another look later, as we are just setting off to Cornwall to fetch my Mum (93)for a two week break in Oxfordshire..x
Hi Sue and all our lovely crafting community. It's been great to read all the good wishes from those who didin't win a die but we are all winners every day opening up Sue's blog and seeing what prize awaits us. It's like unwrapping a gift every day!
Sue this card is so dramatic and you're right, great idea for men's cards. I'm still trying to work out how you did the background though.
Just dropped my younger son & his mates off at a paintballing day for his birthday, with the older one at work there's peace in the house and space for crafting - lovely.
Blessings all - Deb C xx
Alison, I commented first and read later, so sorry to hear about your Aunty. God rest her soul and my sincere condolences to you and your family - Deb C xx

Two beautiful cards. The first one would indeed make a great male card.
Take care
Hazel G XX
Lovely card. I do like the red and black together with those dies.
Both cards are lovely, but I think the second one just trumps it for me.
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
Sue, this is a gorgeous striking card and never mind them awkward ones, it is a beautiful card that i think anyone would be so happy to receive. I see black , red and white Sue on my screen so i will take your work for the taupe colour. Now we all know i not such a great black on card fan but this card definitely shows its beauty up in the black detail. Thank you Sue for such a stunning work of art to brighten up our day with and i am glad that you received all the comments that you did during the launch of your dies but i am sad that they can find that 2 minutes to try and win something from you but can't after they find out that they are not a winner and comment again when you next have beautiful prizes up for the taking. Come on all of you people that entered to try and win, Sue has a heart as big as the world and deserves that minute or two of support each day when showing off the spectacular results that her genius brain has designed. I wish truly all the winners so much joy with there new prize both new followers and old you are all Wilsonettes. The joy that Sue's site gives each day with her mini masterpieces (as that is what they are) is unmeasurable and lifts sometimes the darkest of days, so thank you Sue for being such a wonderful online friend to us all.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Love red, white and black!
Hi Sue,
Another beautiful card to admire and try at some time. Really good choice for the guy in your life. I always get stuck about male cards, thanks for the good idea.
I love the way how you chop one design and make another beautiful shape.
Thanks for all your tips. Congratulations to Jacqui also.
Thanks for everyone's congrats for other winners, and I'm most delighted to say that I am one of the lucky winners from the Spring Launch. Thank you.

Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
None of them Sue? Wow, I would have been there like a shot. How strange. I got my four dies from Joanne yesterday, (one I couldnt resist was the dandelion. I already have a Dandelion die, but yours had a great middle which would work for stamens for any other flower.
Happy US Mother's day to you too.
I love the New York set of dies and this card is great

Another lovely card today. I have these dies, but would use different colours.
Hi Sue, two very striking cards and yes, I would agree that they would be good for those pesky man cards. I don't have any of the New York dies but will take inspiration from the layout, thank you.
Congratulations Jacqui on being the Wednesday winner you lucky thing :-)
Alison, I am so sorry for your loss of your dear auntie. Thoughts and prayers winging their way to you and your family.

Good afternoon Sue & Wilsonettes
Wow wow Sue I love today's cards the colour combo is lovely I particularly like the second version but both are gorgeous cards.
Love Lynda Brock xx
Congratulations to Jacqui on winning Wednesday card
Big Hug's to all my friends love Lynda xx
Stunning cards. I think I like the second color combination better. I'm always looking for that masculine card. They are more challenging for me.
I love the red and black you have used as it really highlights all the beautiful details on the dies.
Absolutely gorgeous.
Great card Sue and you are right it could be a smashing mens card, the smaller version is good too, hugs to all Johanna, I don't believe i am being asked to select soup to prove i am not a robot
PS sorry i didn't congratulate Jacqui on the wednesday giveaway, Johanna
it's good you mentioned the colours as at first glance i thought omg it's fuchsia! it still looks nice but not the colour combo for me.
thinking about it in dark red, black and kraft card might make it more masculine but to me it looks very feminine as the dies are quite intricate but it is an elegant card, hugs xx
Really great look. Would never know you had put the pieces back together. so cleverly done. Congrats Jaqui!
WOW red and black is my kind of cards. absolutely gorgeous.

Good evening Sue,
Both versions are lovely but, I think the second version is my favourite, however, the union die always does it for me. It is one of my absolute go to dies. Love how you have snipped it to make it even more versatile.
Congratulations to Jacqui on winning a beautiful card.
Alison, my thoughts and prayers are with you. It has been a long battle for your Aunt and you have been beside her every step of the way, so be proud of yourself for being there for her and may she now rest in peace.
Love and hugs

Hi Sue
Was just wondering what shade of pink you had used when I discovered it was red. This just happens to be one of my favourite combinations of colours, red, white and a touch of black. Beautiful card.
Congratulations to all winners. x
