Remember

 Hello my crafty friends!  Here is a bit of a sneak peek for my Hochanda shows which start this evening at 8pm!  I am dong the One Day Special shows which means I will have shows throughout the day on Saturday as well.  Today's card uses the Australian Background die cut twice out of coconut white card.  I cut the background die on both of them at about 3/4 the way across and pieced the two larger pieces back together to create an almost square background.  I lined the back with blush card to show through the delicate cut out areas and matted it with a thin black mat.  I cut two of the Sydney die, one in blush card and one in black card.  I off set them, with the black in the back as a square and the blush die cut up front in a diamond orientation.  I stamped my sentiment and cut a thin black frame and a slightly thicker blush frame for it.  I glued them to the sentiment then trimmed away the excess card and mounted it in the centre of the focal element.  Finally, I cut three small butterflies from the Delicate Garden Frame and used them to camouflage the cut lines in the background along with some flatback pearls.  I lightly inked the wings with Spun Sugar, then glittered them and added pearls to the bodies.  I completed the card with a white pierced mat, a thin blush and black mat and another white mat layer.  The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x  8 1/2" in size.   I do hope that you will be able to tune in tonight at 8pm and on Saturday at 9am, 12 noon, 4pm and 7pm to see some of the demos!  All for now, Sue x

I know you are always telling us to cut into dies and use them in different ways yet I am still in awe and amazement when you show us how to do it. The end results are fantastic I mean just look at this wonderful card. Will watch in wonder and amazement when I can and hopefully record whilst I am at work. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxx

Not very happy, just seen on Johns blog that Hochanda have stopped showing on freeview for a while. Sorry Sue won't be able to watch your shows. JJxx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our 6am Pam enjoy your Sue day - dies to play with, shows to watch, what a great way to spend your day xx

I'm really looking forward to learning new techniques from you, gaining confidence through your ever helpful hints and tips, and the most enjoyable of all, watching you do all your fabulous demo's.
Today's card is so pretty with the added delicate butterflies. I really would love more of this collection before we are introduced to the countries of the world but I don't see that happening to be honest. I've started to use my 'older' dies as it seems such a shame to leave them at the bottom of the box, so my very first buy got an airing earlier this week - the quilled blooms I think, see, i've even forgotten their name the poor things ! Anyway, I'm really looking forward to having Sue time tomorrow and I hope all goes well for you Sue.
Sending friendly hugs to you Sue and to those friends made here and on fb xxx Thinking of our dear Tina and family xx

Good morning Sue and everyone. Gorgeous card, love how you've made the Australian background into a square shape. All your shows are set to record in case someone interrupts whilst I'm watching!
Happy Birthday Pam, hope you have a day filled with fun and of course it'll end with a "visit" from Sue. Tracey - you're doing so well, make sure that you continue to look after yourself. Hugs to all. Sue XXX

GM Sue. Love this card. So pretty. Could someone tell me what's going on with Hochanda and FreeView. I turned it on yday to find its now a data service and a black screen. I am Not happy. We don't have Sky and I don't want to watch TV on my tablet. I should think many of the large companies that have moved to Hochanda won't be happy either as not being on FreeView must affect sales? I will have to rely on this wonderful blog to catch up with Sue's demos. I feel robbed that I can't watch you on my TV Sue. End of rant.

Another stunning masterpiece

Morning Sue,
Another stunning card, I love it.
I haven't used my Australian background die set yet. I am still slowly sorting my craft room out. That is in between babysitting grandchildren.
I will be taping your shows, thankfully I have Sky so no problem with freeview TV which I hope is sorted out soon.
Have a great time

Muriel said...

Hello Sue and all

Happy Birthday Pam ! Have a lovely day playing with your new dies

lilian said...


Hi Sue beautiful card, so lovely and frilly looking.

Happy Birthday Pam, love how you manage to be 1st in the mornings.

I echo Clare Ws sentiment about free view we are giving up sky as its to much money, so disappointed that your not on free view.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall

BridgetCG said...

Morning Sue, a really gorgeous card today, one of my favourite colour combos. The dies are stunning, and such a lovely sentiment. Looking forward to the shows. Have a great Friday all. Bx

Great card, Sue, had to read more than once to get my head round it - can't see the join! Do like that background.
Yes, also very peeved with H especially as the two weeks off is now going to be 5 and counting - guess sales must really suffer. Such a shame it's on your weekend too, Sue, so will have to watch on PC. Perhaps you can tell them how frustrated we are??!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our top girl, Pam, nice to get more dies - have a nice day.

Good morning Sue.
A beautiful card and very clever way of getting even more use out of the background die.
I echo everyone's frustration with Hochanda and Freeview, I'll try to watch on my PC but with both children home the Internet is a little slower than usual so it may not be possible. It's even more irritating as I'm off work for another week and like to have the tv on whilst I craft, still at least we still get inspiration from your wonderful blog.
Happy Birthday to Pam, still up early even on your special day! X

Dragonsnap2, Hinckley said...

Hi Sue,
Another lovely card and I have those dies so need to have a go. Unfortunately I can't get Hochanda so am unable to watch any of the shows. I'm working on hubby to change our provider but at the moment he doesn't see the need.
Happy birthday Pam.

June Smith said...

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a lovely card today and yes I will be watching and learning, looking forward to it. You have been missed on our screens Sue.

I always watch the shows on line and if there is something I really want to record (which I cannot do) then I use the video on my mobile phone and record it from my computer screen, I can then at least refer back to it if I need to, this is the best I could come up with until eventually Virgin Media might take Hochanda on, oh wishful thinking there.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Love this card. I do hope I can manage to catch some of your shows.

Glenharon said...

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a really pretty card Sue and with just enough of black that it pops the card, showing off all its beauty. I love the soft pink with the black as it just goes from one end of the spectrum to the other just so lovely. Thank you flower for another WOW card and have a great time tonight and tomorrow, as my record button will be on to catch all of your great hints and tips and tutorials.
Wilsonettes, i too have freeview on my tv in my room but i am fortunate enough to have SKY and have been recording my favourites, so it is definitely still on. What happened to the other one "the Craft Channel" as i haven't seen it on in a long time now?
Not a very niice day here at Glenochil as it is that smirry rain that just soaks you through to the bone. I'm going to meet my lovely friend Di in at Stirling and get some peace from O.H. calling my name for me to hand him something, make him something, listen to something, hold something and the list goes on and on, so a few hours peace will be heaven.
Sending hugs to all that need them or could do with them,
love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil Village)

Jackie T said...

Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card I love the design and the dies you have used. It is such a shame about Hochanda and Freeview I know it is out of their control and that they should be back in May. I find watching the shows in the catch up section works quite well on my laptop. I hope it all goes well for you today. Take care. Hugs Jackie

marg said...

Good Morning Sue!
Lovely card today!
So annoying that Freeview is not being used by Hochanda!!!!!
The Craft Channel is another one that leaves us out too!
I don't want to admit it but thank goodness for Create and Craft or I'd have no craft to watch!
Have a nice time Sue anyway!
Take care
Love Marg

Izzy said...

Hi Sue,

Very clever cutting of the Aussie background, looks fabulous as a square - I will be trying that myself as soon as I get my mitts on that die set!...

Have set the sky box to record all the shows in case I can't watch them live...

Lovely card. I like the alternative way of using the background die, must go upstairs and try it for myself.

Beautiful card today.
Happy Birthday Pam,hope that you have a wonderful and craft filled day. Also Happy Birthday to my husband,who got me a present for his Birthday,a free sat box so I can watch Hochanda still and the craft channel for the first time! The dish was on the house when we moved in two years ago and we have kept saying that we need to take it down as it probably didn't work anyway! So glad we didn't and know I am very lucky as I have been in the rant group of what are Hochanda up to. Am blessed with a thoughtful hubby,I hadn't even thought of the dish as a solution.

Gorgeous card Sue! Recorder set for your shows so

Happy Birthday Pam ! Hope your day is wonderful with
some new crafting items and some nice cake :-)
Yvonne- hope you are ok after the hassle with home-
delivery and the boy's have food in the fridge.
Lorraine- hihi what are you like, not one but two dresses ?
Hope we have a nice warmish summer so you be able to wear them
and now with your hair coloured you sure will look lovely.
Wheelybad- hope you are ok and not having the horrid migraine
again, sending you some hugs.
Norah- hope you had a nice day with your friend and put
the world to right. Miss you in the cafe'. I believe the
Huggles need some talking too, they have been up to
some mischief lately with the pain au chocolate.
Lynda, Sonia, Michele and anyone else who are in pain

Can't wait. Will have to have it on silent on the computer as it clashes with Grimsby Town on TV! Lovely card, by the way

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!

What a breathtaking card and a fantastic taster for this evening. Love the delicate intricacy of the dies, complemented by the soft blush tones with just the right amount of black to make it all pop.
I've worked myself up into a mild frenzy now, not long to go and you will be delighting my senses again on our screens. My thoughts are with my Wilsonette buddies who have to either battle with a PC or miss out altogether on your fabulous demos, it's such a shame:-(
I've been working hard all day to persuade my mum that I NEED more dies but it's falling on deaf ears at the moment, the dresses are still fresh in her mind I guess:-( Maybe I should slip something suspect into her coffee in the hope that she sleeps through tomorrow's proceedings and I can get custody of the credit card again:-)
Yvonne, I had no idea that voodoo doll worked so well....I guess I could take out one or two pins to see you through Sues shows:-)
But seriously, hope you feel better soon honey, I warned you that a liquid breakfast when the liquid is gin isn't the best start to the day and you're only asking for trouble:-)xxxx
Ooooh, Sues about to start, yippeeeee!

Sue this is gorgeous and another way to use my favourite background die.
I love the black and blush together and the off set dies in the middle.
Definitely one for me to try.
Loved the show tonight and have added more dies to my list.

Hi Sue,

I love this beautiful card, very lacy but really nice. I love the butterflies, always wins me over with butterflies.

I hope you have had a successful day today. Did not watch the show, as its not shown on Virgin Media as yet.

I will try and get my other small TV working it has Freeview. Hope I see you on TV Saturday.

Have a lovely time.

Love n hugs from Dorothy in Baldock

Hi Sue & lovely Wilsonettes***how delightful to see another Sue Wilson masterpiece gracing my screen, It is simply amazing how you have squared the Australian background & as much as I have scrutinised the picture I cannot see the join, very clever Sue & this technique speaks volumes of your incredible talent, not sure if I would have been brave enough to even attempt the snip (lol), but having seen you do this on many occasion I think I’m more than willing to attempt this with some dignity & without cringing (lol) x

I don’t have the Sydney die yet but its gotta come out the hat at some point because it has already picked out the stamp for the Sydney die x

Oh woe is me Sue, as one of your enthusiastic & ardent followers I could not watch you tonight, I tried on my computer & IPad but all I got for my anguish was buffering, 3 second conversation & skipping fast forward for 2 minutes or so. Well I’m sorry to say that I gave up in the end. Apart from that I sincerely hope that you enjoyed the demo & I pray you have as equal enjoyment tomorrow. X x x

Sorry for my absence Sue but as it was Hannah’s 3rd birthday today we took her & Lauren out today & after I had completed the cards I was making yesterday I had to get some rest early to build me up for the day out. Heacham beach, although it was cold with a chilly breeze, was fabulous & the girls had a lovely time with plenty to occupy them, we rested Lauren & me plenty of times in between so that she coped with it well.

It was so funny because we videoed Hannah & Lauren opening the birthday presents this morning, but when we went to play it back it wasn’t playing at normal speed, I never knew we could all move so fast (I wish) turns out it was accidentally recorded on ‘time lapse’ on the IPad & we cannot slow it down...Doh*lol*

PAM, you share a birthday with our Hannah, birthday wishes to you & sincerely hope that you had a lovely day***

YVONNE* lovely to see you back but sorry to hear your feeling groggy, rest plenty my friend & hope you feel better soon x x x

I can barely keep my eyes open from all that sea air so I will close for now & wish you Sue & our Wilsonettes friends a peaceful nights rest & (((hugs))) to those who are in need as you are in my thoughts every day. Take care Love Beth B x x x x x
