Hi bloggers! Depending on the die, you can sometimes cut your card and then cut over the same area with just a turn of the die and get some great patterns. You just need to have another die to cover the not so pretty areas on the inside! Don't be afraid to try, it is only a bit of card!
The winner of this week's Wednesday Card giveaway is:
Stella Munn!!!
Congratulations! Please email me at americansue1@gmail.com to confirm your address and claim your card.

Such a lovely card Sue.
Congratulations to Stella, what a treat.
Gloria, hope the sun shines for your daughters wedding today.
Laine, ouch, poor you.
The great thing about crafting is the poetic licence you can take with colours of flowers etc.
Daily hugs to all, including June, Tracey, all who are not well and our missing friends.
Lovely card Sue. Congratulations Stella. Off to watch video now.JJxx
Stunning absolutely stunning. Love this card Sue, have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good morning Sue and everyone. Gorgeous card, I'm going to watch the video next before anyone else gets up but I think I can see where you've double cut, another technique to try this weekend!
Congratulations to Stella. Gloria, I'm sure your day will be wonderful whatever the weather but I wish your daughter and future hubby sunshine and happiness. Hugs to all, especially those in any sort of pain. Sue XXX
Hi Sue. Beautiful card. Congratulations to Stella. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
Morning Sue. What an amazing card it's gorgeous. I remember you showing this technique either on the AP love show or in the studio I don't remember now but I'm thrilled it's the video of choice today. I was just watching the intro and scrolled down to see the end product and noticed Stella's name as Wednesday winner and I'm chuffed to chuffery lol. Such a lovely lady with so much talent, I'm really pleased for you Stella as will be the rest of your fb friends xx
Okidoki Sue, I'm going back to watch this amazing mess turn into a swan. I wonder if I have any dies that I can do this with as I've not got the one you are using. I know one of the fb friends has done this with guilding flakes behind and it's a stunner.
Have a lovely day Sue, I know Stella will 😊 xxx
Morning Sue.
Thank you this is a lovely card and great video.
To all Wilsonettes what ever you are all up to today Getting Married or crafting I hope you all have a great day. Congratulations to Stella.

Morning sue and crafty crew.
Love this idea will definitely try this one.
It's lovely here in East Ayrshire this morning. We have left early to go to lochgelly in Fife as Graeme has a driving experience to Goto. It was his Xmas gift so he will be doing lots of skids an donuts etc in a rally car. He's a bit excited lol.
Norah thanks for the hugs. I saw ur pic on yer wee scooter. I assumed like many people do that u were older as u never know with people's posts on here lol.
Will look forward to meeting u sometime as ur only about an hour away from me.
Laine. Hope u feel better soon chicky. U seem to go thru so much. Xx
Love to all xx

Hi Sue. I'm sure I have seen you demo this before and I think it's a great technique, thanks for the reminder. I've got a free day today so may give it a go. SueL x
Beautiful
Congratulations Stella
Carol
Clearly, I am not the only one who watched the clever use of the die to extend the pattern and wondered if any of the other dies in one's collection would work in this way. Another great way of thinking beyond the norm. A beautiful card has resulted from the use of this technique although, not being a fan of bows, I might try to reproduce with one less.
Thank you for the ideas: keep 'em coming, we can never too many of these.
Teresa
Help Sue and all
I loved this card when the video was first up on you tube and made something based on it, I don't have the matching ribbon so used 4 pearl corners but am really happy with it, thank you once again for the inspiration
hope you are having a great weekend
hugs
Muriel x
Hello Sue,
This is the type of card that you look at and think "that's pretty", then you take a second look and see things that you'd missed, and then take a third look etc. etc!!!
Congratulations Stella on winning the Wednesday card.
Gloria have a wonderful time, I smiled all through my daughter's wedding 23 years ago, and am still smiling!!!!
Tracy, Norah is great. She was born the year I was married, but she's such good fun and has an indomitable spirit.
June, hope they find your wound is healing and the infection is going.
love to all xxxx
Hi Sue
Very pretty card. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Stella.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs.
Morning Sue, What a pretty card. and cutting the die like this certainly creates a different focal element and really extends the different uses of the dies. Thank you for sharing. Will have to try this with some of my dies.
Wendyx
Now this I can't wait to see! It's a beautiful card today Sue, and I am off to make a cup of tea so I can sit in comfort and really concentrate on watching to see how it's done. :)

Good morning Sue and the WIlsonettes,
This is such a pretty card Sue, so girly looking with it's little bows at each side at the bottom and with the beautiful little flourish like pearl corners. I watched this video the other day on youtube and was enlightened by your double cutting to make the pretty cut in look under the top center piece. Thank you Sue for another gorgeous card but another inspiring video giving us a different idea on creating a new look.
Well folks my hills have just got the snow in the crevices of the hills now, a slight smattering which i really don't mind it up there looking beautiful or even on the fields and gardens, it's just when it's on the pavements and roads that i don't like it becasue as sure is fate i will be the one down making friends with the area i am walking on and it gets a bit like a carry on film trying to get back up when the feet keep slipping.
Tracy flower, i hope that your Graeme has fun today in his driving experience. I have as a younger model been at the stock car trak racing around for raising money for charity, it was fantastic. I am so glad that you are feeling better today so that you can enjoy watching him and his face lighting up with the excitement of what it was like. I am a pathetic follower of the formula one and the rally car races and what i would love to be doing. You have a lovely day with your handsome hubby and enjoy yourselves. My little scooter allows me to do things that the legs couldn't do and i even had not one but two men down on their knees before me that day,lol. They were getting peoples opinions on the Scottish elections, silly men came and asked me, now you would think that they should have known better, lol. I was out with my lovely friends that i met through Sue's blog and Sandra's, it was fantastic couple of days and the only thing wrong with it, it wasn't long enough for any of us.
Gloria, i hope that your daughter and future son in law will be very happy, have a lovely day today and enjoy every moment as it seems to be over in a flash so quickly.
June flower, it won't matter that you rattle as long as you are getting the level of pain under control. I hope that the wound clinic helps to do something to heal your wound up. Now just think of the various songs you can now shake along to with your pills? An unplanned musician, lol. x
Stella, enjoy your beautiful WOW when it arrives because it's like a feeling unlike any other, so enjoy your win flower.
Right that's me i will go and leave you all now with hugs going to Tracy - keep up your chin up flower, you have done so well and now we want you to enjoy living your life to the max again, Wheely - i hope that you are turning that corner flower as you are missed and to all the Wilsonettes that need or could just do with a hug, they are there for you all,
love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue. I am not sure whether it was this card or something similar that I saw on the launch and loved it so much that I bought the Wellington die, then I couldn't work out how you had made the card until I saw you do it on TV. All clear now.

A lovely card with my favourite colour again. Now why didn't I think to do that??? I know why not - I don't think outside the box like Sue Wilson!! Lol! Off to the craft room to see if I have a die this might work with. Thank you Sue.

Hi Sue
I think you should name this tutorial, Circleing the Square, as this is exactly what you have done. It will be interesting to see if this can be achieved using other square dies, or do you need this particular die?
