Hi bloggers! I thought today I would show you a card made with one of the
Stamps To Die For that coordinate with the dies. I started this card by embossing a piece of vellum with the
Dotted Daisies Pinpoint embossing folder. I attached it to a piece of
wisteria card so that there was a soft lavender colour behind it. I stamped the
Eastern Mandala Stamp To Die For in black and cut i out with the matching
Fiji die. I inked it with
Chic Viola Colour Cloud all over, then went back and did just the edges with
Decadent Denim. I added it to the centre of the embossed back ground with mounting foam. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the
Fiji hexagon and added a thin Blue mat using the larger hexagon from the
Bora Bora. I made two flowers using the
Striped Nasturtiums edging them with
Chic Viola and spritzing with water. I seated them on
white satin ribbon. I added the entire piece to a larger mat cut from
French Navy card. I added a paved pearl border using
white PVA glue dots of varying sizes. A simple white on white mat was used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card Sue, it's gorgeous. Well done to your CE colleagues, they did a fantastic job on Hochanda.
John especially showcased your dies to perfection. I picked up so many tips from him. Nice to see Dave Bradford has joined Hochanda too.
Elaine, I hope you enjoyed your day with Andrew and Helen, and that you are feeling better. It may be that you have what the doc thinks I have, viral flu, tiredness and aching limbs is symptomatic, but you have been through so much with your boys and the family it is bound to take its toll. Take care and rest lovely lady.
Tina and Owen, I hope you are coping well at this sad difficult time, as Laine put it so beautifully, your friends on the blog are here for you, you always have my support.
Good to hear Yvonne's parents are on the mend. Tried to imagine Yvonne in the car with dad driving at 20 miles per hour, but hey, at 80 he does well to drive at all. Hopefully mum will be home soon to enjoy her girl's roasties.
Donita, I want to come to one of your craft parties, what a ball you all had.
Laine, what a gorgeous treat from Sue for you. You can now officially open a Sue Wilson Card Gallery with your win. Enjoy them all honey.
June, you sound so well, hope the knee is behaving itself.
Hugs to all, especially NannaTina, Wheeley and all missing friends. Norah you are a star.
Lovely card,enjoyed the shows on hochanda that I managed to see
Good morning Sue what a beautiful card and the colours are wonderful
I love the design
Have a lovely day

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a lovely card today, I especially like the idea of embossing a vellum sheet and adding to the card and then also all the PVA glue dots of various sizes, looks so good, but of course the stamp is the centre piece.
I reiterate what Pam said about the Hochanda shows over the weekend, I spent such a long time yesterday just reviewing John's shows, take screen shots of the cards I would like to make and getting all the tips and techniques, I have been awake since 4am with them all still going through my head, just got to find the time now to do them. Need to do the same for Phill and Julia's shows now before they are taken off, oh I wished Virgin Media would take on Hochanda.
Pam hope you are on the mend and feeling a little better every day.
Elaine, it is only natural that you are feeling low, you have had so much to deal with, but remember your friends here are supporting you, Andrew and Helen all the way.
So good to hear that Yvonne's parents are on the mend, wow 80 years old and still driving around, that is an achievement these days, there are such mad drivers on the road.
Yes Pam the replacement knee is getting there, hopefully last physio joint school on Wednesday. I am walking about without my stick so that is a good sign.
Laine, how wonderful that our Sue sent you all the goodies and extra ones as well, I have got a Sue giveaway which sits on the shelf above my head and I look at it every day, it is red, black and white with the most gorgeous black bow on the front, and her trade mark pierced holes around the layers, it really is a joy to see, I know you will enjoy all of your gifts.
Tina and Owen, Tina, Tracey, and anyone else who needs a special hug, here it is....
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue and all
I am falling for this Pacific collection, today's card is lovely and I received my Wednesday weekly giveaway card in the mail, it is A M A Z I N G !!!! with the Tahiti and Fiji dies, fabulous colours (some used today) and perfection to aim for, thank you again Sue, It will find a place of honour in its new home.
Congratulations Laine !
hugs

Hi Sue
Stunning card, love the idea of the hint of colour behind the vellum.
Great shows over the weekend on Hochanda.
Jan x
Oh my word Sue, what a start to our crafting week. It's absolutely beautiful and so many different techniques, embossing, stamping and colour highlighting, die cutting and the paved pearl border, and your flowers look so delicate, could we ask for a better start, I think not. It was a real treat to see the CE team take over the weekend, it was starting to resemble another craft channel with one specific brand showing a little more than others, so it was great to see the cream of craft do their 'stuff'
Another week if friendly hugs and Sue, here's the first ☺ have a good day xxx
Beautiful card. Love the effect from the vellum. Nice to see the glue dots making a return.
Watched some fab shows over the weekend. So much inspiration
Luv
Karen xx
Lovely crisp card today, Sue, and your paved border really sets is it off beautifully.
Hear hear to Pam's comments.
Didn't get to see much of the shows but pleased to spot Dave Bradford, he's such a good presenter. Never did catch up with Craft Channel when he left C&C.
Laine - slightly green with envy, but do have my gallery of One Sue Card! Great that PP's parents are doing well, hope we get a Maureen update!
Special wishes for Tina, Tina and Elaine.
'P' in Wales
Good morning Sue. What an amazing start to the week, this is stunning. Another gorgeous embossing folder that I've missed, so going to have to have a little internet search and shop tonight!
To keep this post short i'll just echo Pam's comments, as she has a way of saying everything so well. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Fabulous card and a great start to the week. There's just something about blue and white together that I love.
Pam, hope you're feeling a bit better. I know we moan about the weather being cold but a two week spell of below zero temperatures would get rid of many of the nasty bugs around at the moment. At least according to my GP!
Big hugs to all who are suffering or in need.
Happy crafting.

Lovely card Sue,love the embossed vellum and the colour,thank you,Linda x
Lovely card Sue, had my first go at spritzing flowers with water over the weekend, thing I may have overcooked it, will have another go as your flowers are stunning

Good morning Sue and crafters all,
What a beautiful card. The backing Acrylic dots must have taken hours, well worth it.
Each day is getting a bit better, my family have been very supportive.
Pam hope you are feeling a bit better, viral infections always take that bit longer.
I enjoyed the Hochanda take over, John was fantastic as Julia they really captured the saying "I'm in charge"
Really nice to see Dave Bradford. Will he bring his jewellery range .C&C rang to ask why I hadn't renewed my membership told them all the best presenters and companies had jumped ship!!!!!
June hope you last physio goes well and you are. now sticklesss.

Lovely card Sue, makes me think regal. I enjoyed what I could watch of Hochanda over the weekend, I have most of the dies already but really liked all the ideas with the masks, pixie powders, gilding flakes and cosmic shimmer products, especially with Julia. Have a good day. Xx
Morning Sue, a really lovely card today. The French navy is a beautiful colour. Really enjoyed the take over weekend on Hochanda, great fun and very informative. Brilliant.

Morning Sue. Such an attractive card today. I love the colour combination of dark blue and white with a hint of lavender. I have to admit that I have several stamps to die for and I don't think I really make enough use of them. This card has shown me what I am missing out on.

Hello Sue,
What a gorgeous card, love that embossing folder and how nice to see the paved pearls technique make a come-back, it always gives a really pretty edge to frame the central elements and not something you'd ever see on a shop-bought card...and I'm now going to have to check out the stamps to go with the Pacific Islands collection I bought recently from one of John's shows on Hochanda....have to say the CE team did themselves proud over the weekend...

Hi sue.
Wow what a beautiful card. It's stunning. Xxx
Morning Sue. WOW What away to start the week but with a stunning card that has one of my favourite techniques the pave pearls. I first saw them about three years ago and they are still one of my favourite techniques and that must be a new e/b folder or i have missed this one its gorgeous. Have recordered all the shows over the weekend and watched a few. I have learned a few techniques from john he knows how to get the best from your dies but the whole team did CE really proud and it looked like they all had fun, hopefully you can do it next time. Nice to see Dave Bradford on hochanda he is such a good presenter and explains everything beautifully. The channel is going from strength to strength. Have a good week everyone.
Best Wishes.

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Each And Everyday I Open Your Delightful Blogpage, I just Love
"The Masterpieces" You Share With Us And Today's Card Is No Exception Its
Truly Very Beautiful.
I Apologise If I Go Through All The Products Used And How You've Used Them Its
Just That I Copy And Keep In My Note Folder, "Along With A Photograph" So If I Go On
This Is The Reason Why Yes I Have You On Pinterest And Also A Bloglovin Folder, But I Know You Don't Mind
But Just In Case Others Wonder Why.... It Also Helps Me Remember How The Card Was Achieved.
Today's Card Is "Truly Stupendous" I Just So Love All Your Delightful Embossing Folders
And Today's "The Daisy Burst Pinpoint Embossing Folder" Is So Extremely Remarkable
(I Need This Embossing Folder) I Love How You've Embossed It Out Of "Vellum" Then Attaching To Wisteria Card
I Just Love The Extremely Exquisite Stamp You've Used "The Eastern Mandala Stamp"
Cutting It Out With Matching "Fiji Die" Just Love The Colour Coice For Your Stamp Using
"The Chic Viola Colour Cloud" It Looks So Extravagant.
I Love "The Hexagon Dies From The Fiji And Bora Bora" Adding Your Sentiment
"For Someone Special" "Which Is Definitely You"
Last But Not Least "The Truly Stupendous Striped Nasturtiums Flowers" They Are Outstanding
Its Also Wonderful To See The Return Of "The Paved Pearls" They Look Stunning..
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Sue Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 To Yourself

Love all the things you have used on this card. The only way I can do pva dots is to make them different sizes.... accidentally!
Fab card Sue. Love that the Stamps to Die For are mounted & pre-cut. Theresa x
Lovely to see your border showing the PVA dots. The card is beautiful Sue especially the stamp which you have used. It sounds as if everyone has enjoyed the Hochanda shows this weekend. How I will miss keeping up with them for the next couple of months, but at least I will have the sunshine to boost my spirits. Hope it's not too cold where you all are. Hugs xx P Austen
Hi sue.
Absolutely smashing!!! Can't wait for the next collection I'm assuming it'll be soon 😊
Pam. Get well soon!!
Laine. I'm well jealous of u. Enjoy all ur sue masterpieces xx
Love to all as always xx
Hi Sue,
What a delightful, delicious card. The embossed vellum looks fantastic. Focal point is beautiful and flowers lovely.......... Singing to me.
Hugs, Rose
Gorgeous card. I love the paved border though when I'm making a card I don't have time to ever do one will have to make more time or have a day just making so paved borders for use at a later time. Although I very rarely have time to muck about and play or trying out new things. I need more time and I've got some lovely Sue Wilson dies for Christmas but still have not had time to try most of them.
Hugs to everyone that needs them.

Wow wow wow what a stunner we have today. Love how you've used the vellum as a background. I've done this at Christmas but not on a normal card. Not that this card is anything but normal. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Sue,
What a fantastic card for a miserable Monday. I love the colours and your 'stamps to die for' are so beautiful. Love the shade of blue you've chosen and those little dots are so cute.
Bejay xx
Amazing mandala stamp and gorgous card! Love the colours and the fab embossing!
Hi Sue
Such a pretty card today. I really like the colors and I always attempt the little dots but never quite get it right (or paw free) as Taffy seems to think its some kind of game.
Hugs x
An absolute beautiful card, I have not invested in any of the matching stamps to your dies, something I need to think about as this is beautiful....love too how you have made all the pearls on the border Sue..thank you.....luv Ursula xx
I love today's card, navy and white always looks so classy together.

Hi Sue, a great card and I love it when you show off your Stamps To Die for as it always gives me more ideas. The blue and white looks so crisp and fresh and the embossed vellum background is beautiful.
Laine - now I know what the noise I heard on Saturday was. No, not you screaming but the thud of all those beautiful Sue cards landing on the mat lol. Seriously, enjoy your haul and I know you will get lots of inspiration from just looking at them. Thanks for keeping us up to date with Yvonne and her parents and I am glad they are both getting better.

Hi Sue. I love all of your cards but the ones with the paved borders seem to have something special about them, for me. SueL x
I really like the paved pearls technique. Why do I keep forgetting about it!! A beautiful card to start the week off...BarbaraC
Very pretty indeed I'd forgotten the paved pearl technique Smething I enjoy doing as you don't have make each pearl a uniform size and is received with awe
Hi Sue,
This is such a beautiful card. I love th colors. I love the way the paved pearls look.
I think this is a stunning card. I watched some of the CE shows over the weekend and have a few more recorded. Very enjoyable.
Beautiful card. I do like embossed vellum and this particular folder produces a lovely effect.
Teresa
it's chique and very beautiful Sue

Hello Sue - missed me?!!!
What a lovely card on the very day I decide to return to the best blog in the world x
Just love the paved pearl technique. I have tried this myself on a couple of occasions but the result was not terribly successful. I am too impatient. I will definitely have to try again because the effect is stunning x
Everything about this card just sings in perfect harmony and I think it is beautiful x
I have really missed the blog. I haven't even been checking in so have just had a look back at the cards I have missed and they are all amazing Sue. I have yet to catch up on comments x
Still up in the frozen North but incredibly relieved and delighted to tell you my Mum is home. Yes the queen is in residence x
I am staying here for a little longer just to make sure she behaves! Lol. I have a few days to prepare myself for the great meeting of Geordie minds - I am due to meet Maureen on Thursday. Watch out Mo - here I come x
Laine and I have spoken a couple of times and she told me that many of you were sending love and best wishes to my Parents and I. Thank you so much everyone - really means a lot. Obviously your thoughts and prayers did the trick as the 'wrinklies' (which is what my mum and dad call themselves) are so much better and are well on the road to recovery x
Tina T - I am sending you lots of love and a big warm hug. So sorry to hear about Peter. He'll always be with you my love. Grief is a strange animal but remember that there is no right or wrong way to feel or deal with things. Take it slowly and do whatever you need to get you through. Take care x
To each and everyone of you on this fantastic and amazing blog lots of love especially to all my wonderful blog besties. You are all such an amazing bunch - love ya x
All going well I should see you all tomorrow x
Take care

Hi Sue and everyone
Beautiful card today. I too love the paved pearl technique, and also the embossed vellum. That folder is gorgeous. A lovely crisp clean card today.
Love Helen xxx
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a truly individual card, the background is a great idea, i would never have thought to emboss the vellum then back it with soft wisteria....really like the pinpoint EF, don't recognise it though, it must have passed me by I'm afraid. A paved pearl background has always been a favourite of mine, i have tried it on a number of occasions....memorably, i had just laboured over one, getting it perfectly spaced and balanced only for Brodie to jump on the table out of nowhere and stand on it! We had a trail of cosmic shimmer paw prints across the wooden flooring that took a fair bit of elbow grease to remove:-) The star of the show is the stamping though, it is a triumph and reminds me that i have to make more of an effort to use mine because the results are stunning. Lovely card Sue, be proud of your achievements.
I've had a fairly busy day today, going shopping then getting my hair dyed and trimmed....I'm doing it every four weeks in fear of any grey hairs giving away my age, i know, insufferably vain! Anyway, i have been rather excited because a number of websites have promised to preview Sues new die release....i have checked throughout the day but no joy until i came upon Sunrise crafts who are showing them in all their glory:-) To be honest, my excitement has merely escalated because i am just so super curious about what Sue will do with them, particularly the Kinetic Collection, the Fish Bowl and new Fillable Collection. Whew! Where Sue gets her endless stream of new ideas and concepts from is a mystery but aren't we the lucky ones to benefit from her creative genius.
Good news concerning Yvonne's Mum, she has been released back into the community and into Yvonne's care....I don't know whether to feel happy for her leaving hospital or mildly concerned that she is being entrusted into Yvonne's hands:-) I will concede though that after a few helpings of her excellent rosties she will be well on the road to good health.
Pam, how is that chest of yours, are you getting plenty of rest? What would the blog do without your cheery start to our day, it doesn't bear thinking about:-)
Maureen, are you making all of the necessary preparations for meeting royalty? Remember, only speak when spoken to and NEVER turn your back on a member of the Royal Family! I do hope that you have a suitable outfit in mind, nothing too low cut or above the knee, that would be unforgivable. Good Luck....you may need it!:-)
Myra, like you i would love to be a casual observer to this meeting, bet our ears will be burning! Do you think Maureen will handle the pressure of meeting a member of the aristocracy? :-)
Frances, I'm not surprised you heard a thud, the impact almost cracked the wooden flooring!:-)
Elaine, I'm so glad you've decided to visit your GP, lets hope they can help you to settle your sleep pattern....do you still have any trouble with the neighbours cat?
Tina, sending gentle hugs your way, you're coping admirably at the moment, i am so glad that you have good support networkxxx
June, well done you, getting rid of your stick is a major achievement!
P, how are your little babies, did they see their first snow last week? Brodie loves the snow, he tries to jump up in the air and catch the flakes, it's so comical:-)
Special hugs to all my besties including Tracy, Wheely,Deb C, Norah, Maria, Theresa, Alison and anyone i forget to mentionxxx
Crafty hugs and love

Hello Sue,
I'm late again! It's going to be one of those weeks I think!
I, too, love the paved pearl technique and haven't done it for a while! It always looks so lovely. Love this card and the Bora Bora Die is beautiful . The matching stamp is the icing on the cake! Thank you for all the inspiration.
June - great news - no stick! Take care though!
I'm afraid I've had to skim over today's news but I'm sure Pam will keep me right in the morning!
PP - great to " see" you! So pleased Mum is home . Your company , home cooking and nursing will have her good as New in no time!
Have a lovely time with Maureen! You are both so quiet I hope you manage to find something to talk about!!!
Laine - Maureen will handle the pressure! I just hope she doesn't wear her Tiara! It isn't always appropriate !!
Tina, Tina and Elaine! Take care. Thinking of you all.
Lots of love
