Card number two is a stair step card using the same background die. Generally I tend to recess rather than mount upwards, but every once in awhile, the mood just strikes to do it differently! I cut the Swiss Background in white and backed it with a piece of dusty rose card (from my stash). I cut the next size in white, backed in dusty rose and added it with mounting foam to the centre. Finally I cut the smallest die in the set in white and backed it in rose and added it with mounting foam. I stamped my sentiment, covered it with a small piece of self adhesive sheet. I cut the Swiss tag in white and backed it in white then cut the centre. I added mounting foam and added it over my sentiment after removing the backing paper. I sprinkles Diamond Snow into the opening to glitter the sentiment and added the tag horizontally across the background. I used the Exquisite Poppy set to make three flowers and added them in the corner with Heart Sprays as accents. White and rose mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 3/4" in size.The winners of this week's Comment Game are:
Iris Harbourne!!!
VC!!!
Dorothy Macdonald!!!

Beautiful cards Sue. Both lovely.
Congratulations to comment game winners.
Tina, I am so saddened to hear that you have lost Mick, you have both fought so hard to get him better. You were there for him every step of the way and he knew that, he is at peace now. I pray you and the family can take some consolation from that. Thinking of you all.
Elaine, I'm so happy that Andrew has passed the half way mark, he did right to treat himself and Helen, the news was a treat for you too.
Tina, good news about Peter, glad the staff were there for you both.
I was happy to do the collection for Barbara, she is closest to myself and Gary on the team, which was why I wanted him to do the sentiment inside the card, made it more personal. The card is just normal size for the team as there is also an office collection with a big card.
Tracey I always thought I would retire at 60 but now 68 and still like working, at least I like the Work and colleagues but the management, well say no more.
To all poorly, sad colleagues, I send lots of hugs and still plenty for the whole blog.
Two gorgeous cards today Sue. Love the way they look so different. Have a good Sunday.

Good morning Sue. Two beautiful cards to start the day, I think the second one edges it for me but I can't fathom why! Congratulations to this week's winners.
Nanna Tina, so sorry for your loss. Pam, I hope Barbara can enjoy her last few days at work, without the bosses upsetting her. Hugs to all. Sue xxx

Sunday Smiles to you Sue. A delightful double Swiss day that's for sure and if that's what happens with a change of craft mood, then be my guest, exquisite Sue that's all I have to say, exquisite. The first looks powerful, could be sent to a male friend, the second, I've made my thoughts known about your second card, you don't just take the bull by the horns when you feel like a change up, you take the full herd and go for it and I'm glad you showed us this change of style mood, I'm sure we'll see a few more 'uppers' than 'downers' on the beautiful follower based Facebook group since showing this today especially from a certain talented Beverly !
Many congrats to the 3 winning ladies today enjoy your gift.
Tina - I've read all your up's and down's over the past few months and although I've never left a comment my thoughts have been with you, but no more than they are today after reading Pam's message to you, none of the usual comments that people say at this difficult add time, just "my thoughts are with you at the worst time in your life"
My usual hugs are heading your way Sue, and hope that you have a good day, maybe another change of style mood may hit you lol xxx
Love both the cards today and can't choose between them.
Tina, so sorry to hear your news after such a long battle.
Congratulations to the winners.
Happy crafting.

Two gorgeous cards,love the first.
Congratulations to the winners.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 stunning cards today, both amazing so I am not going to choose between them.
Congrats to all the winners.
Tina, words cannot express how so very sorry I am to learn that you have lost your wonderful Mick, he fought so hard but alas he lost his battle with this awful disease, he is at peace and no longer suffering. You and your family will have a difficult time ahead but always know that he is still with you in your hearts. 🙁
Thinking of everyone who is suffering x
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx

Two lovelies today, Sue, can't choose a favourite as I like the papyrus card on the first and the ornate-ness and of course the poppies on the second. Those Swiss background dies are something special.
Well done to the three comment winners.

Hugs to all our missing people - esp Wheely and Billy, the deadly duo and Norah.

I have a whole week to catch up on here as have not been able to get on here as my daughter got rushed back into hospital she had op last Sunday and they found the cyst on her ovary had doubled and all her organs were stuck together through infection, to think this had been going on 5 weeks in all, thank god they operated in the end, she is on the mend now slowly and upwards, but I have had my granddaughter staying with me till my daughter came out of hospital so have been so busy this is my 1st day at home so now have a thousand things to do but just going to rest for a bit this morning and get some energy back.On a good note had my knee check up with Consultant and he is very pleased with me, so just have to go careful continue the way im going and not overdo it he says (if he only knew about this week)
Tina im so sorry to hear about Mick my love and sympathy to you and your family
All my love healing hugs to all that need it at the moment,and I will try catch up again sometime in the week with you all

To My Wonderful Friend Sue,
Today's "Double Day Cards Cards" Are Both Extremely Exquisite, Elegant, Rich, And Very Opulent
In Different Ways.
I Just Love "The Swiss Background Die" And That You've Cut It Out Of The Beautiful Papyruss Card Which
Is Just Fabulous Also In Black (I Must Purchase Some Of The Papyruss Foundation Card)
Then Using The Truly Stunning "Stitched Lattice Frame" Which I Just Adore...
I Love The Second Outstanding Card In The White And Dusty Rose, Such A Superb Card Adding "The Exquisite Poppies"
Also The Very Beautiful "Heart Sprays" As Accents.
Sue Thank You So Very Much For Sharing Today's Delectable Cards, Just Truly Outstanding
Take Great Care Sue
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 To Yourself Sue

Hi Sue,
How lovely to revisit some of the European collection dies - I think my favourite today is the second card using the background die in vertical format and stepped up rather than down.
Congratulations to this week's lucky winners!

Lovely cards. I think this is the first time I have seen you build up your layers other than your base layers. Beautiful! I have this Swiss background die, the heart sprays and the poppy die! Yeah. Oh, just wanted to tell you how pleased I am to be able to find more of your dies and stamps here in the US. Does your coin purse feel heavier?

Wow! 2 really beautiful cards, very pretty colours on both of them.
Good Morning All,
These two gorgeous cards certainly highlight how versatile the Swiss Background die can be. Both would wow a recipient and don't appear too difficult to make.

Suzzette, my local scrapbooking store also has recently added some of Sue's dies (not enough but hopeful for more in the future).

Two lovely cards Sue, how different they are even though using the same die. I prefer the style of the first one, though am not too sure about the papyrus colour. Love The raspberry colours of the second And the flowers. X
Two beautiful cards today Sue thank you for sharing.
Two lovely cards today using the same die, one quite masculine and the other so feminine and frilly. Love the dusty rose colour.
Congratulations to the comment game winners.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue Wow I love the first card but they are all fantastic. I can't wait to catch up with you in March.
Sue these cards are are absolutely stunning but have to say the second one is definately my favourite but probably because it is more for us woman and as already said the first one is more masculine which is handy as they are the ones i find so
difficult.
I love the detail on the die and must get this one.
