Hello crafters! I hope you all enjoyed the quick die launch this past weekend! It was fabulous to see so many new names too, I do hope that you will stay and become part of my lovely blog family. I really enjoyed reading all the lovely comments that were left, thank you so much! I will get the drawings done and post the winners later on today so don't forget to check back! For today's card, I started with the
Portuguese Background and cut it in white, using just the outer cutting die. I backed it with
aqua card and used the next size down in the set to cut the inside shape and also added some piercing to the edge. This created my background which I added mounting foam to and placed it over a piece of white card. I cut the
Lisbon die in white card and backed it with white. I used the next die shape down in that set to cut the next layer out of white card and cut it into a frame exposing the centre. I used the
Sintra die for the next layer and cut it out of aqua card and recessed it inward. I stamped my sentiment and cut it with the oval from the centre of the
Lisbon die and created a faux mat for it by drawing around it and hand cutting it. I made several flowers by stamping the
Shaded Peony stamp and heat embossing them in white then cutting them out with the matching
Perfect Peony Complete Petal die. I seated them on opposite edges of the
Lisbon die with some
Mosaic Leaves and pastel
aqua Bakers Twine. I completed the card with a white paper pierced mat, a thin aqua mat and another wider white mat. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" in size.
The winner of the Wednesday Card Giveaway is:
Lynn Dalby!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card!
Hopefully I will see you all later on today for the die winners!! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. A beautiful fresh looking card, especially love how you've done the background.
Congratulations to Lynn, I'm sure you'll treasure your win. Sue XXX
Fab card Sue, love the colour, well everything about it!
Hi Sue.
Congrats Lynn on winning a beautiful card.
Thank you Sue for a lovely few days showing us yet again what a fantastic crafter/designer you are. It takes a true crafter to know what we need then you design it. You have given us some fantastic new tools this weekend to help us turn plain old card into something wonderful and make those happy that we make cards for - thank you.
I really hope that after ALL your dedication and love for craft that the new names we have seen over the past few days KEEP returning after the drawer for a giveaway die has been announced, its always so nice to see and read appreciation for what you do for us Sueaholics, so I look forward to hopefully see the blog comments stay in the 200's (although past experiance after a new collection this never happens) which is such a pitty ! So come on guy's stick with Particraft now you have started leaving your comments, its such an amazing place.
This is such a delight to start our new week, one of my favourite pastel shades and the Sintra die is one of the dies that followed me home last week, its such a pretty die, im so glad it ended up home with me.
I will wish you a good day whatever your plan's are Sue, and to my dearest friends, no names mentioned, thank you xx

Hello Sue
What a beautiful card today. The baker's twine is just the right touch. Ribbon or tulle would look too 'heavy' for such a delicate card.

Such a lovely colour Sue and all the different dies working together. A lovely collection of new dies too, thank you Sue for all the inspiring cards.x
Morning Sue
First of all thank you for a wonderful week-end and I hope that you can now have a little time for yourself.
Today's gift is just perfect to start another week. I really do love the colour Aqua you have used and must get some for use and for my stash. Your Sintra die is a real work horse for me as I always seem to reach for it.
So all in all another No.1 as I just cannot see anyone not wanting to receive such a gift as this.
To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Morning Sue, this is such a lovely card with all the details on it and the way you mix and match the dies together, thanks again for the weekend of all your new dies which are really nice

Happy Monday Morning Suel,
I love this card and the colours you have used, so far I have two of the Portuguese dies, but am gradually collecting them all. Just need the Christmas ones first so I can get on with my cards this year.
Peace will be shattered here today my Grandsons are back from their holiday and Nanny and Grandad have them today. Lots of fun to be had and two exhausted Grandparents this evening.
Have a wonderful day.

Good morning Sue. Another striking card in such a lovely colour. Thank you for the great die ĺaunch, I always find that seeing the die designs in a card allows me to visual how I could use them.x

Sandy (tort)
Hi Sue & Lovely Wilsonettes
Thank you for sharing such a beautiful stunning card with us this morning Sue...this is the sort of card that I fell in love with when I first saw you demonstrating...I have all of the products used in your card except for the Sintra die as I’m still slowly collecting to complete each of my sets...one of the most useful is the Peony stamp & matching die as they really are versatile & easy to stamp & match up with the die. Wasn’t able to comment on your gorgeous new launch set until last night due to holiday but I did have a wow for them all especially the lattice snowflake & star spray.
But then since I first saw you demonstrate & joining this lovely blog you have never failed to Wow me on all counts with your card & die designs & of course not forgetting the fabulous hints & tips to help us in our creativities.
The Cornish Holiday....instead of 7 hours (incl stops for girls), it took us 11 ¾ hours to arrive...accident & burn out on M4 (what’s new) all lanes closed for ages so everyone out of our cars walking around as so hot...luckily our girls had the Lintram crate, crate fans & crate water bottles to keep them cool & hydrated. We also had chiller cool mats for the girls but by the time we got to our cottage the 2nd had split & girls were covered in yucky white sticky stuff...so instead of unpacking & eating we spent over an hour grooming & washing this stuff out of them.
But the cottage was lovely with views to die for & the peace & tranquillity 2nd to none. On our Anniversary (Sun) we had ordered a picnic to eat at Cardingham woods, yeah you guessed, it rained & we ate in the car...but it was lovely & we laughed it off. Then it poured down heavy all day on Thurs & we got soaked many times, eventually we gave up & went back to cottage where I lit my first ever wood burner, so cosy all snuggled up together watching the flames.
The best place we went to was Bellever woods in Devon...Hannah is slightly apprehensive at new faces & places but here she was so calm & both girls loved it (guess where I would like us to retire to...LOL) we sat by the peaceful flowing river & Steve & I ate our true Cornish pasties from Looe..Yum yum!!! So we decided to go back on our last day...lovely again but we drove into a thick blanket of fog on Dartmoor...not great for Mr B driving but I loved it, I grew up in Devon then mainly in Cornwall so knew how quickly the weather can change or the fog can roll in without warning.
It had been raining overnight but still beautiful...until the sole of my 16 year old hiking boot came off...right in the middle of the soggy field by the river...Yuk!!! Mr B for some reason couldn’t stop laughing...if only the shoe was on the other foot...LOL... anyways we had our picnic (me with soaking foot) then went into Tavistock to find new footwear...gosh the prices £80.00+...could have brought most of this new die launch...Boo Hoo...LOL...
Guess I needed a 2nd week to get over the first 9 days...lol
Congratulations to Lyn for winning the Wed Giveaway..What a beauty to take pride in your craft room...
Not had chance to read all the comments as no internet whilst away so I sincerely hope that everyone is well & happy...sending love ‘n’ Hugs to you Sue & to all lovely Wilsonettes...take care Beth B x x x x x
What a lovely card, love the colours and the strong Portuguese background .
Congratulations to Emma xx

Lovely card, I just love white and aqua cards. I've recently discovered your blog and been working my way through the archive and love the way you do pierced edges - I've bought a piercing ruler so I can try this technique.
Hi Sue,

Well Sue it might only be one card today but what a stunner, beautiful colours, very calming! You really use your dies to their full advantage. Really enjoyed the weekend & all your hard work in preparing all the card samples, thank you. Congratulations to Lynn, you will love your card in the flesh, so to speak as I was lucky to win two weeks ago & I can't stop looking at it - just beautiful.

Congratulations to Lynn on winning the card.

Sue, I love the way you layer up the dies and it doesn't look 'fussy'!! I try to get this same look but, sadly, it doesn't always work! I shall keep trying! Thanks for all the inspiration with your beautiful dies. Jo xx

Good luck again to everyone in the draw : )
Hugs to everyone. Take care xx
Really enjoyed seeing the Christmas dies over the weekend. We should never be lost for ideas with so many to choose from, and yours are so different from many other Christmas dies out there Sue.
Today's card is lovely. Beautiful colours and so much going on there, yet without seeming too much. I tried using the peony stamps but didn't like the result I got. Looking at your peonies today I see where I went wrong. I think I tried to layer up too many petals and it was just too much. Will try with fewer layers next time - less is sometimes more, as they say!
Thanks for the blogging weekend Sue it was great, just hope I'm lucky this time around. I so love this colour scheme, so pretty. Angela (UK)
Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card, love the colours the aqua colour is so fresh and pretty.
Thanks for sharing,

Have a great day
Love Diane G xxxx
Congratulations to Lynne on winning the card xxx
Beth your holiday sounds lovely even though the weather wasn't good. At least you could laugh about it and sorry I had to chuckle at your walking boot disaster but I'm with you with the £80 expenditure! Xxx
Morning Sue, thank you for a fantastic weekend. Love today's card, very pretty and feminine. The colours are great. Was just about to say see you later, but back to normal now! It is rather nice having several posts a dat, hard work for you but great for us.
Love Rosemarie xx
Very pretty card Sue, lovely colours.
Hi Sue - this is such a beautiful card, love the aqua colour and the background die is just stunning. You always layer up your cards beautifully and the little flowers set it off perfectly. Well done Lynn on winning one of Sue's superb cards and a big thank you to you Sue for all your hard work and generosity. Best wishes

Today's card is lovely It's in one of my favourite colours too
Thank you again for more fantastic dies It's pay day at the end of this week so... There'll be quite a few fall into a basket and words like "oh I've hd these ages" kind of conversations with OH! Not that he ever minds what I spend As I think his couple pints of beer once in a while pays for a new set of dies in my book - Gosh that sounds awful he doesn't drink that much or very often either
See you all later Good luck everyone x
Hi sue what a beautiful card ,love the colour .

Another wonderful card Sue, loved all your new dies over the weekend, you are one talented lady
Hopefully this comment won't appear three times! Having just received the Portuguese background, I can't wait to give this card a go. It's lovely and the colour combination is great. Right, pressing publish once Now! x
Love the colours on this one
Love the colours of the card and the design too. I see from my sisters comment that she is looking forward to using her Portuguese background stamp. Me too. LOL. Any card with the peony flowers on is a winner as far as I am concerned. Thank you Sue. Xx

Love Val in Spain x
Morning Sue.
I was able to follow your blog in France last week and thought I would see Saturday's postings at my daughter's house, in Kent, in the evening. Wrong!
They had lost their internet connection in a storm, while we were all away, and so I had to wait until I got home yesterday afternoon to see Saturday's cards. Frustrating! Still 2 out of 3 days was better than none.
Today's card is absolutely beautiful and I would certainly give it a go. The colours are just lovely.
Take care,
Evis M.
Hi Sue

Hi Sue
Such a lovely card today, so fresh. I keep yearning for the peony dies, but then others get there first!
Thanks again for the last three days. It was great to see your dies come to life through your wonderful samples.
Congratulations to Lynn and Good Luck to everyone for the draw.

Hi Sue, It is nice to be back in the fold again after almost a week away.
Today's card is gorgeous, the aqua and white always looks so good.
The dies used are lovely.
Congratulations Lynn, enjoy your card.
Good luck everyone for later today.
Love this colour combination. The flowers are lovely with the leaves peeking out. A super start to the week. x Annie P
Hi Sue. Out all weekend but had to keep dipping in to your blog to see your lovely new dies. Very pretty aqua card today. I keep forgetting I already have this colour card and keep buying more. I have quite a stash now, lovely. SueL x
Congratulations to Lynn. X
Hi Sue
That is beautiful. I think I will enjoy using the Portugese die very much. I do like the colour choice for the card.
Jan from NSW (Aus)
Morning Sue,
Firstly, great card. I really must buy that background die, it's so versatile and really sets the card off beautifully.
Secondly, be assured that your lovely new dies and the samples are great fully received by us all.
The comment I can make is 'please stop bring out such wonderful dies my purse can't cope'! Lol
Have a great day
Zena xx
Love these colours, I made a card recently with aqua and white (using your dies and embossing folder) and it's one of my favourite colour combo's, reminds me of Tiffany's boxes!
Susan LT
The Aqua and white combine to make a stunning combination. Add the results of using some beautiful dies and one gets, as one can only expect from you, a fabulous card. Thank you.
Hi Sue. Beautiful card today, love the colour combo. Congrats to Lynne :-) So glad I was back to enjoy your mini launch Sue, great new dies and beautiful cards. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
Beautiful card Sue. Congratulations to Lynne.
Morning Sue
Exquisite. Like a beautiful cupcake, expertly and delicately decorated. You are like a master pâtissière who takes some ingredients and produces an exquisite original delight. Of course the raw ingredients are of exceptional quality.
I am beginning to realise that almost everything I say revolves around food - what does that say about me?
Congratulations Lynn - lucky you.
My fingers are firmly crossed in the hope that my name will appear later - one can live in hope.
Diane - Thank you for your good wishes yesterday. Jake and I entered into the spirit of things with great enthusiasm and managed incredibly well with our marathon roast dinner tournament. We then watched How to train your dragon 2. A 23 year old and his mum spending quality time together stuffing our faces and enjoying a cartoon. There would have been chocolate involved but neither of us could face it after consuming such an enormous banquet. Believe you me Jake and I turning down chocolate is a phenomenon which occurs about as often as an eclipse. For the record, How to train your dragon 2 is definitely worth a look x
Lorraine - your compliments are accepted gratefully. Personally I think I deserve an OBE. Dirty Dancing is one of my all time favourite films. Lusting after Patrick Swayze being a favourite past time of mine. However, watching Dirty Dancing with my son is not the best option as I cannot give Patrick the full attention he deserves. How to train your dragon seemed a much more suitable option as one would find it very difficult to have feelings of desire over an animated character. Lol. I often think that cats may have been a better option than children but probably would have cost me more if they had a liking for prawns x
Maria - I'm all for Toby Carvery - always tastes better if someone else has cooked x
Beth B - your holiday sounds very much like many a holiday I have experienced. Without mishaps it would be boring. Lol. Love Cornwall. Many a happy holiday spent there as a child and a few in later years. Know what you mean about needing time to recover. Put your feet up and have a Sue blockbuster session catching up on all the fabulous cards x
Have a lovely day everyone. Sun shining and blue sky here.

Hi Sue, a beautiful bright and cheerful card to complement our 4th sunny day in a row (almost unheard of here lol). I love aqua almost as much as I love lilac so this card is right up my street.

Lynn - congratulations on being the Wednesday winner.
Good Luck to everyone in the draw.

Hi Sue
Beautiful card in a beautiful colour. Thank you again for a lovely three days celebrating your new dies and good luck everyone
Molly sorry to hear your grandad wasn't too good with the chemo, fingers crossed his sickness goes away soon
Norah, wish Rory a belated happy birthday hope he gets to celebrate it today and do hope Kirsten is home from hospital
Thank you to everyone who wished my lovely little granddaughter Sarah a happy birthday on Saturday, we had a family party and she got lots of presents, even a Barbie in a wheelchair just like hers. News from GOSH was mixed, orthopaedic surgeon going replace metal rods in her back with ones up to her shoulder blades, results of the sleep study were terrible, not getting enough oxygen and co2 levels too high, so they are going to try her on a cpap machine to see if that helps. Now we just have to wait for a date for the surgery
Hugs and best wishes everyone

Hi Sue
Really enjoyed your mini launch, thank you, great dies.
This aqua colour makes such beautiful cards and also your lovely dies of course.

Stunning card!!! I love the Aqua and white combination and the flowers are gorgeous! Congratulations to Lynne!
Hello Sue.
Lovely card. I think this is a great demonstration of how a larger card can be made using the same dies. The Lisbon and Sintra dies are lovely and work together so well. I think the Peonies are always winners and the colour is so fresh. Thanks for sharing.
Speaking for myself thought I'm sure many will agree, I hope you know how much we appreciate your skill and generosity of time and knowledge. Thank you for a great launch.
Best wishes.
Good morning Sue and her crafty crew!
What a splendid card to begin a brand new week with. I love the colour tones, it is so fresh and summery, a nice contrast to the weekends festivities. I'm afraid that I don't have any of these fabulous dies, something that I will remedy just as soon as I purchase my Christmas collection- this list takes priority at the minute and it is so long that it will be the focus of my attention for a while yet!
This background die is simply stunning, I love the layering effect and the double piercing layers add a further dimension to the proceedings. I really must get the full petal peonies soon, I just adore the combination of the stamp against the coloured card. A triumph in design Sue, well done you!
I am still coming down from the new die launch, I have been perusing the craft websites trying to prioritise which dies I want most desperately, however it is such an impossible task. I simply cannot narrow it down to less than 25 at the moment and I don't think my bank manager, or my mum would be too chuffed if I splurged out on all of them! I find little and often to be a wiser option, that way I can fool them, and myself , that I'm not actually spending obscene amounts on pieces of intricate metal, beautiful though they may be:-)
Congrats to Lynn for being this weeks lucky recipient, and best of luck to all my buddies who took the time to wish our lovely Sue good luck with her launch-I do hope many of you stay because commenting and reading all the great anecdotes on her wonderful blog is the highlight of my day!
Molly, so sorry to hear that your Grandads chemo is proving difficult for him, I do hope that he feels the benefit soon. Good luck to you all sweetie, try to keep positivexxx
Beth, so glad to have you back with us, refreshed from your break away. I'm afraid no holiday passes without incident, does it, but you bore it with your usual good humour-though I too would have been mighty peeved to have to spend £80+ on hiking boots when Sue has just launched her new Christmas selection:-(
Yvonne my dear, I think we should put all of this talk of food to bed now, I think that I have put on a stone just talking about it! I am glad you managed to wade through your roast dinner though, it sounded beautiful. Your right of course, Patrick Swayze should be appreciated in private, not in the company of no.1 son-it wouldn't do for him to see mum all breathless and giggly at the sight of Jonnys rippling muscles and hip action! It made me feel 13 again, the age I was when I first enjoyed it at the cinema, ahhh, those were the days!
Another sunny day in Stirling, going to abandon all plans of ironing and enjoy our taste of an Indian summer:-)
Loads of love and crafty hugs,

Hi Sue
Where do you get your inspiration from to keep coming up with such lovely cards. I love the dies you have used today and the colours are so pretty.
Regards
Joan from Newcastle
Very pretty, lovely soft colouring.
Hi Sue,
Thank you for a wonderful blogging weekend. I even managed to introduce your blog to some people whom I met at a family wedding as they wanted to know how I had managed to cut out such an intricate background on the card I had made for the bride and groom. I was tempted to take all of the credit but thought better of it as we need all the Wilsonettes we can get and gave them your blog address.
The Aqua card is so pretty with the white and I think that your Poruguese dies are my favourite, favourites.
Congrats to Lynne. Enjoy your card.
Hugs. xxx. Pauline A

Such a gorgeous card and I love all the layers! So many beautiful details to look at! Your dies are awesome!
Congratulations to Lynn on winning last Wednesday's lovely card!
I agree with you Sue on hoping the newbies that showed up this weekend decide to stay around. They will be missing lots of beautiful and inspirational creations if they don't!
Today's card is delicious!! I love the colors you chose and the dies you used are amazing!!!

Lots of love to everyone from Tres x x x
Love this aqua and white card. You do recessed areas so well. I am still struggling with recessing my layers. I must work harder. I manage to do the "built up layers" just fine. It's just I can not seem to "see" the recessed part when I am visualizing the design. Maybe if I do the steps with one of your videos I will get it correct! I did some piercing over the week end and thought of you. My wrist, hands, fingers, shoulders, and back where all in a stressed hurt from piercing some card layers. I know you find piercing "relaxing". I wish it were the same for me! Wishing all a wonderful week.
So beautiful, love the colors!
The aqua and white colours combination is very delicate and classy! Love all the dimension of this card and the fab 3D flowers! The pearcing all around the layers is a lovely touch!
Beautiful card Sue and beautiful colours used.xx
Thank you, Sue for showing all your new dies on the weekend. The cards were beautiful and very inspirational. I don't normally make Christmas cards but I think that may change this year after your blogathon.
Now for today's card - it is simply stunning. I love the Portuguese dies and also the Aqua colour card. Oh, and the gorgeous flower, of course. Lol
Congrats to Lynn and all the other winners. Enjoy your prize.

Another wonderful card. It has a very soothing effect on me. Same with me I love the dies in this card.
Hi Sue,
I lost my last post! I am running late today as am involved in a Children's Holiday Club all week! I'm doing the Crafts. I'm a wee bit tired already!
Sorry I haven't read any of today's posts as there are too many to start now. I will watch the video later too.
The card is stunning however !
I have however checked my emails and got one fro CE this morning to say that you've been Nominated for Best Overall Designer for 2015!
Many many Congratulations - it couldn't happen to a nicer lady or a more deserving one. It gives details about voting too! We'll Vote!!
Lots of love, Myra xxx
