Hi bloggers! Today's video shows you how to create a double aperture to give a slightly different look to your cards. The Delightful Daisies work so well in the aperture too.
The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, a gorgeous card.

Stunning card Sue, so lovely. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Congratulations to winners especially June, wonderful pick me up.
Steph, I hope you had a wonderful die filled birthday, I'm sure Andy would have spoiled you .
Elaine, I hope Helens visit to her Mum wasn't too traumatic for them. No parent wants to see their children go before them. This happened to my Gran when my Mum died aged 42 and my Gran never recovered from it. Sending love and hugs for you all.
Tina, glad Peter is doing better, the smaller plates were a good idea.
NannaTina, my thoughts are with you every day.
June and Sharon, things seem to be going better for you both which is good.
Tracey, how are you doing, work and counselling going okay.
Myra, hope the migraine has gone now, horrid things.
Hugs to all, especially poorly and missing friends.
GM Sue. Great card. Love all the flowers but especially the stripped one!
Good Morning Sue
Lovely pretty card. Love the colour.

Congratulations to the winners.
Hi Sue
what a stunning card love the colours and the dies thank you tracyw x
Charming card! I love the daisies!
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh wow I love todays card, going to watch the video later, looks brilliant and the embossing of the dies is so crisp and sharp.
Pam are you still away or back, I see you were first today so think you may be back. Pam that must have been so tough on your Gran to lose her daughter so young.
Oh I am so pleased as I won 2nd prize in the blog candy, looking forward to my stamps. Congrats to Sonia Stephenson and Julie Laz, enjoy your prize.
Elaine, I hope the visit to Helen’s mum was not too stressful, it is a shame when they can’t recall things, if she doesn’t take it in then she will not be sad. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. How is Andrew today.
Crewe Trish, oh I remember the school dentist so well, they were awful and I think that is where my fear stems from, when I was a kid we didn’t even have a tooth brush, with money very tight as there were 4 girls born within a year (2 sets of twins) so you can imagine what it was like. Yet my twin never had to have anything done but me, filling and extractions with the gas, oh I could tell you some horror stories. However, my check up was OK yesterday, my dentist now is so lovely, more like a family friend and she takes it one stage at a time which is just how I like it. Back in 6 months.
Myra, hope you are feeling better after your migraine
Stephanie, hope you had a wonderful birthday x
Special hugs, Diane G, Theresa G, Tina T and Mick, Sharon and anyone I have forgotten.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Fabulous card Sue. I have all the dies so might have a go when I get a minute. I've saved it to Pinterest as I do with most of your cards.
Congratulations to the winners. Enjoy!
If anyone has time please add my sister to your thoughts and prayers this Christmas. She has opted to spend Christmas on her own this year after losing her third oldest son with no cause of death earlier this year and her partner of twenty years more recently. Over the last few years she has also lost her oldest son, a grandson who was premature following the sons death and lived just a few weeks. She also lost her ex husband with whom she had her six children and our mum. I really worry about her and don't know how she's carrying on but have to respect her wishes.
Happy crafting.
D xx
Good morning Sue
Beautiful card and fabulous video! I love how you've designed your dies so that they all work together!
Congratulations to all the winners enjoy your prize!

Morning Sue. I thought how pretty and fresh looking this card was when I've seen it being shown quickly on show's when this collection was first released. It gives us fresh hope for the spring to come and helps us look forward to warmer longer days. I was lucky to have this sowed floral die for my birthday along with a couple from the Pacific Island collection and the 'you're a star' shadow box accessory, plus Andy chose a die on my behalf as I had a little bit of 'spare' money as a surprise and he chose for me the Brisbane die, and I was chuffed to bits that he noticed the Family Tree on the top of his list, so I was extremely lucky (was hoping and praying that my birthday would bring me more luck for a place in the blog candy draw) never mind, i had my own metal candy to be grateful for, so well done and many HAPPY congtats to ALL 3 of you, a wonderful special thank you gift from Sue for being at her side everyday 😊 enjoy your candy girls xx
On that note I shall send you a hug Sue and pop off and watch you put this happy, delightful card together xxx
Congrats winners.
Fab card Sue.
Hi Sue
A beautiful card, how delightful those daisies are!

Good morning Sue and crafters all,
What a beautiful dainty card today the blue gives off a soft hue. Really love this !!!!!
Congratulations to the three lucky ladies, what a lovely early Christmas lucky bag!!!
Pam - thank you for your continued support and well wishes,
Peter ate better yesterday than he has for a long time. Boiled egg and soldiers for a late breakfast then at tea time he had poached smoked haddock done in the oven with butter and sliced tomatoes and bread and butter. Said he really enjoyed it. He requested Kippers so managedto get them also.
June Smith - congratulations on being 2nd n the blog draw, hope you get some fantastic goodies. Glad the dentist visit was ok, I remember the dreaded gas!!!!!
Nanna Tina and Elaine hope you are both coping at this time of the year with all that has happened in your families.
Love and crafty hugs to all

Hi Sue
Beautiful card. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations to the three winners.
Dragonsnap2.......please pass my kindest thoughts to your sister. What an awful time she has had, and being her sister, yourself too.
Hugs all round.
What a pretty card. xxx
A really delightful card today Sue! Lovely colour combination and embellishments.
Congratulations to the winners of the blog candy! Enjoy your goodies.
Dragonsnap2. I'm so very sorry for the terrible year you sister has had. To lose so many family members is bad enough but for some of them to be her children and grandchild is just unimaginable. I'm not religious but I send her loving thoughts and wish her the strength to endure her loses. I'm not sure her spending Christmas alone is a good thing for her to do but I hope she copes okay.

Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes,
What a lovely card Sue and although all i have to start a copy would be the aqua coloured card, but hey it's one thing down just don't know how many others are missing from the making of this beauty. Must admit that the aqua is such a beautiful shade of blue, so pretty and light and bright in colour. I finally managed to find your Poinsettia additions dies across at the range today where i was meeting my friend Di for a final meet up for this year, now for the longest holidays ever before work and college starts back. I haven't stopped this last few weeks so please excuse my tardiness at coming on the blog and because i haven't stopped i haven't been that good so M.E has just floored me, how i worked full time i do not know as i can't seem to get through the morning at this rate without sleeping but there is a lot worse so lucky i am. I managed to catch your show at 22.00 the other night but will have to wait until after the chaos is over before trying some of the things you were doing plus i think i might just have to visit the programme some more for it to go into my thick head.
I hope that you and all your family have a wonderful time flower and enjoy that special time with them.
To all the lovely Wilsonettes, i wish you the best that you can have, be good if not careful and enjoy if you can this most magical time of the year with your loved ones that mean so much. Thinking of my lovely friend Tracy who will have a wee bit of a hard time but dad is still there in your heart and memories lovely lady so try and enjoy for him.
Love aadn crafty hugs

Hi Sue
Lovely card. Haven't had chance to watch the video yet, as my daughter is here on a flying visit from Portsmouth. arrived late on Monday night, and left VERY early this morning. We won't be seeing her at Christmas, she is taking all her family, 8 of them, away to Lanzarotti for a week. She lost her husband in April, and doesn't want tospend her first Christmas at home. He was only 51, and they had been together 14 years, married for 4 years. A lovely man, missed by eveyone.
On a brighter note, Beverly loved the card I won in your give-a-way, a little while back
Margaret xx
Hi Sue,
With the Christmas rush upon us all, and of course not being organised, I will still have to watch the video before I go to bed.

Thanks for all your inspiration.
Love n hugs

Good afternoon Sue. Such a lovely card! I love the embossing and the striplet detail. Your new Pacific dies are beautiful! Now that it's almost Christmas you have me thinking spring cards!
