Morning Sue.
Thank you a very pretty card and great video.
I love the flower.
Thanks to all the ladies for their help and advice, but I still cannot find the tiny die, it is so annoying.So a big Thank you all.
take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue, a great video today, showing how to make this very pretty floral card. Have a great day. Bx
Good Morning Sue
Stamping makes your cards look so different. This is such a pretty card I love it.I think this striplet is my next purchase. It makes wonderful background to this gorgeous card.
Jan x
Gorgeous card, Sue, the focal piece looks like an old pretty tea-plate. All just lovely and will definitely do a take on this one with similar dies etc. Thanks for the video, always inspiring.
Lorraine F - chin up, as Maria says - talking is good.
Gruesome twosome - hope you are both OK??

Did comment yesterday just didn't sign - another senior moment!
What a beautiful card this morning Sue. Bitterly cold here in Lancashire but the beauty of spring radiates from that floral stamp. I have to say how lovely you look in today's video, purple really does suite you, also some wonderful camera shots too. There are so many stamps available that match your dies, I knew there were quite a few but one lovely fb member put a table up naming each die and the name of the stamp which coincides with it plus product number and it's such a useful piece of information to go to but it's endless, yet another beautiful product I need to think about collecting (my die collection will have more accessories than my wardrobe) at this rate lol.
I will end my post as usual with a hug, and wish you a lovely day. It's so cold again I've had to go back into hibernation and crank the heating way up just so I can feel my fingers enough to craft ! Stay warm and healthy dear friend xx
Beautiful card, love the gorgeous background
Lovely card Sue. I particularly like the background.
It's a good job there are plenty of dies in the Camellia set. I dropped one last night and it's just completely disappeared. The room is really tidy at moment too. Hope it turns up soon.

Great card Sue.
Hi Sue
I love the die in the background - it is so pretty. Love it!

Good morning Sue and crafters all.
Very pretty card, loved the demo, I have the background die and the flower will have to get the Melbourne.
Cold in Hull with a slight overnight frost but cold and bright now.
Love and crafty hugs
Tina T xxxx
Good morning Sue. A totally scrumptious card and a fabulous video. The focal point stamp is beautiful and the background has just the right amount of details and sparkle, this striplet will have to be added to the list.
We've had all sorts of weather overnight - gale force wind, rain, hail and snow, and now there's a lovely blue sky! Stay warm and safe everyone. Sue XXX

Hello Sue and all
Your stamps that match your dies are beautiful, this card is lovely and sparkly. I used a gold paint pen years ago but was not as neat as you, maybe it was the pen ? Lol. Think it is time for another try thanks to your inspiration. The video was really helpful as usual.

Such a pretty card today, the stamp is beautiful and so easy to colour in. Now how do your fingers not get sticky with the spray glue and end up covered in glitter?! I am impressed. The background striplet looks gorgeous, I don't need any more striplets, ......I'm off to have a peep!!
Thank you for sharing

Hi Sue, a really lovely card and the glitter and touches of gold pen just finish it off perfectly. Your video is, as usual, very clear and explanatory.
June - sorry you are still so sore, hope you feel better soon.
Lorraine - if a good walk is not your thing there are always people on the other end of a phone that you can talk to.
Today we have had bright blue sky, sunshine, REALLY strong winds, rain and hail - just your typical April day in Central Scotland lol. I have been out for the messages and done the housework so now I don't care what the weather is like because I am going to colour in my Retro Roses stamp and play wth Sydney lol. I hope everyone else can have a fun afternoon as well.

What a great combination of Dies and Stamps for those of us who like colouring! Work so well together...
Hi Sue,

Totally gorjuss thanks for fabulous inspiration angxx
Hi Sue. WOW !!! This is such a gorgeous card today !!! I love it !!! Your video is fab. The matching stamp with the Australian die looks great. I love how you coloured it in using the distress ink pens. You made it look so easy Sue. I love the cute little flower to. I actually picked up your Rococco striplet die at Alley Palley along with the Ravello striplet die. I did not think I had enough money to get both and picked the Ravello one by chance when Steve swapped them around behind his back and I just picked one at random !!! (He knows how bad I am at making decisions, especially when I have to choose between your beautiful dies. ) Steve told me then that I should not choose but buy them both because he would not hear the last of it from me. Well he hasn't !!!!!! I think I will now have to go and order it !!! The background you have created with it using the glitter is absolutely GORGEOUS Sue !!! I think it is such a beautiful, classy, elegant, sophisticated, timeless, die and I definately need / want / have to have it. I could see this stunning background used for a beautiful Wedding / Anniversary / birthday card. It will look gorgeous in any colour. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card and fab video today. Take care, sending lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
Sending love to everyone from Tres x x x
Evening Sue. Such a gorgeous sparkly card. Hope to watch video tomorrow. X
