Hi crafters! I embossed a piece of coconut white card with the
Butterfly Dreams Embossing folder. I inked the edges lightly with
Stormy Sky distress ink then ran a bead of
Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue around the edge. I sprinkled it with
Iced Snow then allowed it to dry. Next I cut a frame using the
Double Pierced Noble Circles. I wrapped the circle frame with
Bluebird coloured satin ribbon, tucking the final end to the back of the frame. I added a single bow to the frame towards the corner of the card and topped it with a
white crystal sparkler. On a separate piece of
coconut white card I used a hand cut cloud stencil and added some lightly inked clouds. I cut several of the
Delightful Daisies dies in white and then used spray glue and coated them with
Diamond Sprinkles. I stamped my sentiment in the clouds and arranged the flowers across the bottom so as not to cover the sentiment. I added mounting foam to the back of the satin ribbon wrapped frame and attached it over the flowers and sentiment. I completed the card with a white and
periwinkle card mat and layer. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

lovely card Sue, so beautiful. Love the blue ribbon bound accent.
Laine, my deepest sympathies on losing your Aunt, a hard blow for you and your Mum, thinking of you both.
Tina, I was deeply saddened that things went so badly to get Peter the help he needed but he will be well looked after now. No wonder you were exhausted with it all. I hope he is feeling better today after the fluid intake. Please tell him I send a huge hug for him.
Elaine, I hope Andrew is not too down about the delay. He will be better able to handle the chemo if his body is a bit stronger, but I understand his frustration.. His finish line must seem so far away to him.
Lesley glad you have your new wheels, just be careful. Our frost is so thick here I thought snow had fallen and it's so cold to match, Jan from Oz take note.
Eight of us went to the cinema yesterday to see Fantastic Beasts then onto a Carvery afterwards. My daughter booked us in as the Clampetts, remember them from tv. My nephew is having a great time with my grandchildren, it is lovely to see, and I am so enjoying them being here.
Daily hugs to all, including poorly missing friends, big hug for NannaTina.
Good morning Sue. Fabulous! Love how you have wrapped the frame with ribbon. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Got card and fabulous and unusual way to use ribbon. I love it.
There's been so much sadness over the last few days and weeks. My heart goes out to all those suffering or in pain for whatever reason. Hugs to all.
Trying to clear my craft room at the moment following the Christmas scramble. Last year I managed to lose a die - I think it went in the recycling so am being ultra careful this year.
Happy crafting.

Beautiful card.
Good morning Sue, fabulous card, love the ribbon frame. Marion S x
Morning Sue, what a beautiful card would never think to do a circle like that very unusual.

Stunning. Love how you have done the frame with the ribbon.

Morning Sue. What a wonderful idea encasing the die cut in ribbon, I've never seen you do this before, a fantastic idea for weddings, milestone anniversaries etc. I'm looking forward to using my new delightful daisy die, it's come away with us as I can put the smallest one through my mini die cutter while I'm here, started using the 'in the garden' shadow box accessories yesterday, a little bit of a fiddle as losing the tips off both index fingers, I struggle to hold such dies as the ladybird and garden tools so it probably took over an hour longer to do than someone with normal fingers lol but I'm glad I persevered because it looks so cute and so many options to mix and match from other collections in the shadow box set.
Well my two are back from the dark frosty lane, and I'll also agree with Dragonsnap, it has been a very sad blog over the last year, all I hope for is that 2017 see's us reading happier more uplifting comments on this beautiful craft blog.
Sending hugs to help keep spirits high and hope it helps brighten this cold frosty day xxx
GM Sue. Great card. Love the ribbon frame. Will try that.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a gorgeous card today, I absolutely love the ribbon frame, never thought of that so will be trying it myself it looks so effective.
Pam sounds like you had a wonderful time yesterday with the family, it is fantastic making all these memories.
Early start for us today as our car has to go in for it's MOT today, had it almost 3 years, but got confirmation that our new mobility car has been ordered, so should get that in March, having the same make and model but a petrol 1.4 turbo this time, I have not driven for 20 years now so hubby does all the running around.
Thinking of so many of you, especially, Tina T, Peter, Elaine, Andrew, Tina, Tracey, Laine, Yvonne, sending special hugs to you to hope that things get sorted out quickly.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good morning Sue and crafters all,
What a beautiful card, the flowers look very 3D encircled in a ribbon covered circle- so elegant!!!!
Pam - so pleased you had a great day with your daughter and nephew and grandchildren at the cinema and your carvery . Yes I remember the CLAMPETTS, programmes of my childhood.
Peter had been moved from Majors to the AAU and is waiting for a bed on a ward!!
When I left him last night he was on his third bad of fluids, but this has given him the runs!!!! Unfortunately he was not able to control his bowels and the nurses had not given him his nurse call buzzer. He was fed up as some of the staff where as he put it "Quite Shirty" as e had messed. When he told me this I had words with the ward sister - not good enough. He is on IV antibiotics and fragmin injections. So will ring in an hour or so when shift changes done. Pam,
June , Nanna Tina, Elaine and all you lovely ladies on the blog I send you all our love and crafty hugs to all.
Tina T xxxx
Love the idea of framing the sentiment with the ribbon circle and love the freshness of blue and white.

Another first from you, Sue, such a pretty ribbon frame. Lovely card.

Sending hugs to all, esp Nanna Tina.

Hi Sue
Different take for you today, sounds like it is a hit with your followers. Frames are so useful in creating focal points. Very grey day here in the Vale so a craft room day.
Heather R Oxfordshire
Good Morning, Sue
It is a great idea to use the ribbon to bind the frame and you have given me some ideas to reduce my stash of ribbon!
I love the card especially that pretty daisy die.
Thank you, Pam, for thinking of me. It is very foggy and frosty here too, so will not venture out in the new car until the temperature rises today! I am also thinking of Yvonne, Princess P who I met at AP in the Autumn.
Best wishes to everyone,

I must apologise Sue for not commenting for a few days I went down with the Coughing flu type bug that's going round it started Christmas EveEve. We spent Christmas with my daughter & family & went out to Pub/restaurant for our dinner the food was delicious but my coughing wasn't. It has drained me I was also worried about my Stent operation as my chest felt like it was caving in. Have now got antibiotics.
Pam so pleased you enjoyed your family time & yes I also remember the Clampetts the good old day's.
June good luck with the MOT I have everything crossed 🤗Xx
Tina good for you complaining to the ward sister it's bad enough for Peter having the runs without the nurse moaning it must have been embarrassing for him too I hope he gets better treated now stay strong Sending you both Big Hug's 🤗🤗x

Hi Sue
What a great idea to wrap a circle diecut with satin ribbon. Certainly looks great on this card.
A very interesting treatment. The blue is beautiful and the daisies are so sweet. And of course it has the bling. Very creative, Sue
Your wrapped Double Pierced Noble Circle frame was a surprise today. Lovely look that took my mind back to my days as a florist, a job I enjoyed doing. Wishing you an amazing weekend.
Hi Sue. Very pretty card - love it :-) Hugs to all xxx
Hello Sue.
Beautiful Card. I love the clean simplicity and colour of this Card. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Sue
What a lovely idea. I have to make a new baby card I am going to try the ribbon idea, thank you for your amazing creations. Elaine enjoy your extra Christmas meal with your son, mothers never stop do we but we wouldn't have it any other way. Pam you seem to be having a whale of a time. Tina T what an awful time you and Peter are having I hope things are improving.
Hi Sue, an unusual style for you today. The delicate daisies are precisely that and I love the way you have glittered them but I am afraid this jury is still out on the overall picture.
PP - thinking of you and the boys today.

LOVE the ribbon wrapped frame, embossed butterflies and the darling little flowers are delightful! A very sweet card that would be great for a sweet 16 Birthday or many other reasons!! TFS! Happy New Year!
That ribbon frame is amazing! Love the daisies!
Hi sue.
Georgeous never thought of doing that with ribbon it's very eye catching will def use that idea. I guess that's why ur the queen of craft!!!!
U come up with some wonderful techniques.
Love to all and hugs too xx
Gorgeous! Love the embossing folder and the daisies! Pretty details on this card with the blue ribbon also!
What a lovely idea, to wrap the circle with ribbon! And so neatly, too.... I suspect it would take me an age to do that! DS tape on the back might help..... :)
Happy New Year, everyone!! Jo xx
Adorable use of that ribbon, and love the embossed background and the sparkling centerpiece! Another fabulous creation!
Such a "fresh" card Sue, love it!!!!
Oooo sue what a beautiful card, I love the colour and the flowers, this is a everyday card all you have to do is change the colour, wow,
Anyway I'm playing catch up due to my illness, hope you don't mind I'm going back to comment on your other cards I always see them but can't comment until my son writes for me, I hope you had a lovely Christmas, big crafty hugs Julie laz xxxx
Hi, Sue,
What a delightful card today! I love the way the flowers are peeking through the aperture.
Just got back from the vet, hence my post being late. Nothing to worry about thankfully, just the last monthly kitten check as he's 6 months old on Sunday. He didn't think too much of having his claws cut. I usee to do it but decided he needed them a bit sharper for protection now that he goes outside so much. Hopefully my hands will have a chance to heal up before the claws turn into little daggers again...he does love attacking me! He was on the greenhouse roof at 2am trying to get onto the bungalow roof in the dark, little menace lol.
Enjoy what's left of today, people.
Happy crafting...
Bejay xx
Beautiful card Sue and love the ribbon technique. Thank you for sharing. Seem to have this coughing bug. Very foggy today so stayed in the warm. Milk will have to wait until I feel like going out. Not keen on tea without milk though.
Hi everyone, I would just like to say only today I found out I got first place for the blog Candy, I was in hospital at the time and didn't know I had won, so that's why you didn't see me saying thank you to sue or anything, crafty hugs Julie laz xxx

Hi Sue
Beautiful card. I love the ribbon wrapped frame. Genius! The flowers look so cute popping over the frame. Thanks for sharing.
My heart goes out to all the ladies and their families who are going through tough times at the moment. Be strong.
Hugs all round.
Hello Sue,
I've been putting this post off as I'm very much in the minority as I'm not too keen on the ribbon wrapped frame! There I've said it! It doesn't mean you have stopped being my favourite card designer just now and again we see something we are not so fond of! I like the rest of the card but the bandaged frame spoils it for me! Very very sorry! I'm an honest Wilsonette!!! Lol!
Pam - I think the Clampetts must have been wayyyyy before my time! Who am I trying to kid! Glad you are having a good time with the family!
Lots of love to everyone - especially those having a tough day! PP and your boys - thinking of you!
The two Tina's - ever in my thoughts and prayer.
Tracy - you are amazing - encouraging and thinking of others when you are suffering too!
To my sparring partner and dear friend Maureen - so glad you are feeling better! Hope your New Year Resolution - or one of them - will be to be kind to Myra !! Lol! Xx
Love to all , especially Sue who puts up with our daily thoughts and occasional rants!
