Good Sunday morning all! This is an oldie but goodie (hopefully you will think so too!) I have done a few cards like this in the past as I really like the fact that you can use the
Double Pierced Noble Circles and give them a slight oval effect! I used the set and cut three "frames," but with each one, I pinched one of the sides together when setting them up to cut until they touched (but not overlapped) and cut them so you end up with a frame that is way wider at one side than the other, which gives the appearance of a sort of oval shape. I mounted all three with mounting foam and set them on to my background which was created by embossing a piece of papyrus colour card with the
Jacobean Floral embossing folder. I added four pearl corners in cream to each of the corners. I cut a sentiment by using two lines from the
Triple Line Best Wishes die set. I used the negative space cut from milk card and backed it with Papyrus, then a thin black mat. At the left side, I added a double bow tied from some beautiful silk ribbon (I found on Ebay) that matched the papyrus card perfectly. I added a
vellum flower cut from the
Exquisite Poppy die and accented with
black jute and black
Lace Edged Leaves and cream tulle. I gave the card a thin black mat then finished with two milk card mats. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size.

Good morning sue xxBeautiful card and I love the colour tones of it xx
Very striking card, unusual design but I like it.
Congratulations to comment game winners.
Elaine, I hope Andrew has started to feel stronger.
Tina, hope you are well my dear.
My daily hugs to all friends, Carmen you are a joy.
Keep well everyone.
Sunday Smiles to you Sue. Hmmmm I'm sorry, I'm not sure, I can't put my finger on the exact reason, maybe it's the choice of colour used, all I know is that it's not one of my favourite samples, I'm sure I'll be alone with my thoughts on today's sample but that's all ok. We can't all like the same style of card can we ?
Sending congratulations to the 3 comment game winners today, enjoy your gift ladies.
Sending my usual hug your way xx
Beautiful card Sue, love the colours. Will try and do the circles like you. Have a lovely day. Hugs Jo xx
Morning Sue what a stunning card I love the colours

Sorry I've not been commenting for the last
Two week but I nearly lost my husband but at least he's on
The mend now.
Have a lovely day

Wow what a stunning card Sue, love the offset circle effect and cant think why I never do it myself. Got to have a go at this beauty, thanks for sharing,have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Deborah, sorry I meant to say I hope your husband is a little better, you must have been so worried, thinking of you .
Saba, cuddles fir the baby and you, what a great.

Congratulations to the winners!
Love,
Donita
Morning Sue.
Thank you this is a card with a difference,very nice too.
I see the lovely bow is back.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
I do like the style of this, although big bows aren't my favourite.

Morning Sue, this is at fantastic card only you can make circles into ovals I love it.
Congratulations to all the lucky winners.
Nancyd xx
Such a clever idea, I like the look of this very much. Congratulations to all the winners xx
Morning Sue. This is a gorgeous card and the colours are beautiful. Never made a card like this with off set circles so must give it a try as it does have that oval look to it. Lovely to see a big bow back. Congrats to all the comment winners, enjoy your lovely prize. Hope everyone has a great time at the NEC.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Another beautiful creation!
Beautiful card. Congratulations to all the winners.
Good morning Sue. Gorgeous card, love the circles that are ovals.
Congratulations to this week's winners. Deborah, sorry to hear about your husband, pleased he's on the mend. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
As they say "oldies are always the best" 🙊🌸
Lovely lovely card, Sue, everything great about this one. Had 'saved' one from last year on a similar theme - thought it was ovals and looked back; yes it is ovals but this one with circles is so clever in deceiving the eye. Have made two similar and they were well received, thanks to your design ideas! Very big cards, though.
Deborah A - hope your husband continues to improve, what a worry.
Carmen - love reading your posts, sending hugs to Toronto.
Fluffycat - yes, contretemps as they are known here. Why??!! do they do it? Always a shift in dynamics with a new arrival.
Well done to the three comment winners.
Happy Sunday all.
'P' in Wales
Love this card - what a brilliant technique! Soooo clever!
Maggie B xx
Interesting card design today! Just shows how versatile these dies are. Love the bow and vellum flower. Debra x
Oops! Congratulations to the three winners!! Debra x
GM Sue. Love the asymmetric look of the circles. Will try that.
I love this card and the technique to get ovals from round dies to add versatility. I'm sure it will be easy to do once I'm with my machine but at the moment I am having a "moment" and can't understand the overlap part! BarbaraC
I love using circles or ovals like that. It's something different.
Hi Sue
Very interesting clever card not sure about the colour.
Congratulations winners.
Jan x
My first reaction was that this was not for me, but I shall reserve judgement as it is growing on me. However, I don't have the Noble Circles, so would have to adapt the idea if I tried it. An idea to put into my mental file. Looking forward to seeing what great new products come out of the NEC show!
GM Sue, your bows are to die for. Love them. As for the flowers, they are a delight. Very clever use of a circle die. Congratulations to the lucky winners. Enjoy your Sunday everyone. Hugs xx P Austen
Good morning Sue
What a clever way to use the Noble circle dies one that I intend to try so thanks for the idea!
Congratulations to all the winners!
Hugs x
Heather T
Good Morning Sue and All. What a different style of card , I have not seen one like this before. I love all the details from the finishing touches and beautiful bow. Congratulations to the winners. Wendy..
Good morning Sue,
A beautiful and unusual design in a great colour combination. Love the bow and flower embellishment.
Congratulations to the winners.x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a very unusual card today but I like it, might have to have a try at these circles but will do them a little bit smaller as the card is bigger then the size I normally make.
Special hugs to everyone who need them especially, Tina, Elaine, Andrew, Deborah and your husband and anyone I have forgotten.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Great card Sue.
Love this card ,
Beautiful card Sue. I can see this as a great male card if you used jute or something instead of ribbon. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes Loraine Jefferis xx
Morning Sue
A very unusual card today, but I really like it. I managed to get some Papyrus card this week as I had seen you use it on other cards that I really liked over the past few weeks. A brilliant idea to turn the circles into ovals, must try this too.
Deborah, pleased your husband is feeling better, how worrying for you xx
Congratulations to the comment game winners.
Hugs to everyone
Dawn Searle xx
Interesting design but not sure about the colours used
A clever design
A different but still lovely card Sue.
Love the way you offset these, a simple but very effective idea. Great design
Hi Sue
What a lovely card today, it's great to see something unusual and fresh. The embossing folder is one of my favourites and of course pearls and a beautiful bow too, thats made my day. The return of the poppy die is such a delight and cut in vellum, so pretty. Thank you for sharing. I hope you have a busy trade show and a good catch up with friends from other crafting companies too.
Love Diane G xxx
Congratulations to the lucky winners xxx
Deborah sending a big hug to you and your husband xxx
Pam I'm looking forward to seeing you at number one again in your usual chatty mode setting us all up for the day. I know it's difficult but I'm sending you a huge hug xxxxxx
Hi Sue lovely card today. I must have a go at making this
Denise x
Wow, l love this colour combination and a great design idea with the circles offset like this. Lots of inspiration today, thank you.
This is an unusual card to come back to but I really like it. I thought yesterdays was great and different so I will be having a go at both.
Best wishes to all and Congrats to the winners. Luv jxxx
Love this clever design. I wouldn't use this colour but with the bow and finishing touches it's a beautiful. Just goes to show what the right accessories can do! I also like it's not too difficult to do. Have a lovely Sunday all. Birds are out chirping to say Smile!!
Oops wanted to say Congratulations to all the winners!
Fabulous card Sue xx love to see the older dies being used, reminds me what I have in my stash lol!!!! xx love the colour combo xx and thank you for picking my name out of the hat and congratulations to the other winners xx love Kim D

What a lovely unusual card. Would love to try this with the circles but like BarbaraC am not sure I quite understand how it's done but will give it a bash anyway. x
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love how you have used the dies. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
What a lovely card :)
Stunning card, so unusual but so lovely. This would make a great "special occasion " card.
Michele
Good Morning Sue, a lovely card. I don't quite get how you used the circle but will have fun playing - thanks xx
Morning Sue a beautiful card i like the way you used the dies and the colour is striking .
Catherine xx
Hi Sue,
Just love these "oval" circles and so simple to do and yet so effective...and that silk ribbon you found on eBay is gorgeous!
Congratulations to the Comment Game winners...
BarbaraC - I think what Sue means is to be careful when positioning the dies to make sure that you just butt them up to each other closely without overlapping the die edges otherwise you'll damage them...hth
Izzy
Sorry-forgot to say Congrats to the winners.
Michele
Good Morning Sue!
This is clever it looks like Ovals but when you read it they are Circles, beautiful!
Congratulations to the lucky winners
Deborah glad you are back to usual!
Love Marg
Good Morning Sweet Sue, another beautiful card this morning and those ovals look fabulous like that, love the flower and the colour choice. hugs Shirleyxxxxxx
Hi Sue. What a good idea with the circles. Lovely card. SueL x
Good Morning, Sue

Annette x
What a lovely different card.
Love the colours.
Hi Sue, This card is beautiful and my favourite colour . love Jean Z xxx
Not sure on this one. Think I would prefer it sans ribbons.
I like this card, but always think it would make an excellent card for a man, less the fluffy bow.
Hugs Helen
Very unusual styling but love it particularly the colours - just gorgeous
congrats the winners...
Morning Sue, I really like the composition of this card and will certainly be making one on similar line.
Congratulations to the lucky winners, I know they will enjoy there prizes.
Wendyx
Hi Sue,
How's that saying go? The old ones are the best? I sure like to think so 'cos I'm heading that way LOL.
I love that card, design and colours both. Gorgeous, and slightly adapted, would make a great male card - I agree with Helen.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue

Good morning Sue. A beautiful card and it shows that using older dies in a different manor still produces a stunning card. To often we reach for the new dies in our box and forget the ones at the back. Thank you for the reminder.
Congratualions to all today's winners, enjoy your prize.
Deborah, sorry to read your husband has been poorly, worrying time for you all.
Now Pam are you ok? I get the feeling you are a bit down! I hope your chest infection isn't back, do take care.
Have a good day everyone, I will say a prayer for those who are in need of one at this time.

Absolutely stunning! Will have to try it!
Hi Sue
I like the colours of this card very much, I think I would use a smaller bow, but that is just me, I'm not a very frilly person
Margaret xx

Elaine H X
Hi Sue. Sorry for my absence for the last few days. I have tried to move house and while the sales side has gone through without a hitch there is a big problem with my purchase and so I have been unable to move into my new flat and am homeless at present. I have had to move into my brothers flat with him and everything is in storage and I mean everything. I don't even have any underwear or even a hairbrush!!!
Anyway, enough about me. What a lovely card. I wonder if it would work as well with the square dies used in a diamond orientation.
Lisbeth
Hi Sue what a clever idea how to use your circles to look like ovals!!.Thanks for sharing .Gloria ( sidcup ) xx
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
What Can One Say About Today's Card Other Than "Truly Tremendous"
I Love It Its Striking Rich In Colour, Just Outstanding:
Wonderful Products:
"Double Pierced Noble Circle Set .B. (I've Just Purchased This Set)
"The Exquisite Poppy Die"
"The Truly Remarkable Jacobean Embossing Folder"
"The Beautiful Lace Edge Leaves"
"The Triple Best Wishes Die"
"Papyrus/Milk/Black Foundation Card"
"Vellum" "Jute" "Cream Pearl Corners" "Cream Tulle"
Today's Card Starting With "The Exquisite Embossing Using Your "Jacobean Embossing Folder"
In The Rich "Papyrus" Colour Card The Detail Is Extremely Exquisite, And Comes Across Just
Perfect In Each Of Your Photo Shots. I Love How You've Used Your "Double Pierced Circle"
And Given Them A Slight Oval Look (As One Lady Mentioned Only You Could Do That)
Cutting Out Three Frames Pinching In One Of The Sides, When Setting Up But Being Careful Not To
Overlap When Cutting Them Out, So You End Up With A Frame That Is Wider At One End Than The
Other, Giving The Appearance Of Sort Oval Shape "You Are A Genius" Then You've Added Your
Beautiful Pearl Corners, And Cut Out "The Triple Line Best Wishes" Out Of Your Milk Card
And Backing In The Papyrus Card Then Adding A Thin Black Mat To Make Your Sentiment Pop Even More.
Adding Your "Scrumptious Silk Ribbon Double Bow" The Colour That Matched Your Papyrus Card
You Then Made A Exquisite Flower From Vellum Using Your "Poppy Die" Adding Black Jute
The Very Stunning "Lace Edged Leaves", Your Cream Tulle.
Sue I Would Really Love To See You Do This Technique In A Video, As I Must Confess I Was A Little Confused
Re: The Setting Up Of Your Dies And Card Lol! I'll Give It A Try.....
I Love Large Cards So This Size Of Card Suits Me Just Fine.
Sue Thank You So Very Much For "Stupendous Card" Once Again Showing Us How You Can Transform Your Dies
Thank You For Sharing, You Inspire Me Daily And I Truly Appreciate It.
Sue Take Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Sue Lots Of Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 To Yourself

Good afternoon Sue
What a delightful card the colours you have chosengo perfectly well together and are especially warming for the time of year, I love the embossing folder you have chosen I use mine often. I really like how you have used the circles together to almost trick the eye into thinking they are ovals and leading us to the lovely bow and beautiful vellum flower a real touch of luxury. You have set me thinking as to how else can these dies be used in this manner. Thank you so much, I hope the trade fair goes well for you and you're able to catch up with some friends too.
Pam hoping you are soon back in your usual place at the top and in a happier mood to cheer us all in your own special way, I know things are difficult at present so sending you a special cuddle to help. x
Many congratulations to the lucky winners today enjoy your gifts and have fun using them.
Margaret xxx
Hi Sue, I would never have thought to do this with my circle dies, what a difference and so effective. A lovely card.
Congratulations to the lucky Comment Winners, enjoy your goodies !!
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hello Sue,
I love the retro look that the circles dies give to this card by the way that you have cut them. Beautiful ribbon you managed to bag yourself on eBay too. I think it could be adapted to make a "man" card and we all need inspiration for those pesky males. Thank you Sue, hope all is going well at the trade fair.
Congratulations to the very lucky winners.
Deborah it's good to hear your husband is recovering, must have been a very worrying time for you.
Pam I hope you are not having further problems with your cough, missing your usual chatty round up.
Lisbeth hope you soon get your new home, think you'd better have a root through some of those boxes!
Thank you for your good wishes, the flight went and without a hitch and I got the biggest cuddle from my grandson when I arrived.
Love and hugs for all

Beautiful card Sue, I would love to see a video on this and see how you do it. Must be having a senior moment as am a little confused as to the pinching part. I am out of town and don't have my dies with me to play and see how you did it. Thanks so much for sharing.
Afternoon Sue
What a fabulously elegant card. I have the noble circles (and squares and ovals), and use them all the time. To use them like this is pure genius and gives the card such a chic look x
And the colours are perfect - love it x
I have returned home from my weekend away in one piece but worn out. Nottingham University is very impressive. My friend Gill whose son is going there this Autumn is absolutely delighted that her boy has chosen so well x
I did make it to Phill's shop but would like to know who gave him the heads up that I was coming. Apparently it wasn't his weekend but I can tell when someone is trying to throw me off the scent!! Perhaps it was an inside job? Perhaps someone felt that I might just be too much for little Phill to handle - eh Sue??!!
Apparently he was at the trade show!!! Lol x
Congratulations to Patricah on your card win and to the comment game winners x
Lovely weekend but tiring and my plans over the next few days are - well not much at all x
Carmen - welcome welcome welcome, to the best blog in the whole wide world. You may be a newbie but you fit in perfectly. Your English is brilliant x
Margaret corgi owner - you sounded like the queen when you said the corgis had just come in from their morning walk x
Saba - I agree, just a t shirt - glad you have your priorities right. Enjoy those cuddles x
Myra - I thought between you and Maureen it was you that was the brainy one x
Debs cards - sorry your husband has been so poorly but glad he is on the mend now. Sending hugs x
Pam - short but sweet - hope you're ok - hugs x
Elaine - a walk in the sunshine - final destination the pub - sounds like a plan. Hugs x
Lisbeth - I hope things are sorted pretty quickly so you have your own place and crafty space x
Sue I hope you have had an amazing weekend albeit busy and more than likely tiring. I am delighted to see you are going to be on Hochanda and it is very exciting that you will be playing with the Candy Machine. However I would be lying if I said that I am happy with just 1 show. Have you upset the powers that be?
Sending everyone happy thoughts and lots of love especially all my wonderful Wilsonettes blog besties - you know who you are x
Take care folks

Hello Sue.
Lovely Card. I love the effect you have achieved with the circle dies and thank you for a great explanation of how you did it. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Kim Dibben, Diane King and Lorraine's blog.
Best wishes
Very interesting effect on this card. I will have to read this very carefully to get the full effect!!! Love the color choice.
Gorgeous card design. Do I understand you distorted the dies before cutting the paper out? That's a brazen act. You surprised me. Don't you just love the way the silk ribbon ties in a bow?
Not seen this idea before Sue, I think it is just so amazing and so simple, must really give it a go, I like the idea for a male card....thank you for the amazing inspiration....Back to my favourite poppy die.....luv Ursula xx
Love the offset circles, must try this one myself.
I like this idea, very different but still classy. Agree this could be used for male cards, I always struggle with these. Good excuse to get the circle dies, have all the squares, rectangles and ovals! Thankyou, Carol xxxx
Love the moon crescents created between each die x
Hello Sue,
This is different, talk about thinking outside the box, you have certainly done that AND I like it very much also love the colours you have used. Thank you for your wonderful inspiration, Love and hugs,Brenda xxx
Congratulations to the winners - Enjoy x
Hey pat. I'm heading to Ireland on the 28th to the 3rd march if u fancy a meet up I'll ask sue nicely for ur contact details as I've no way of contacting except here xx
Hi Sue,
Really like this one, very unusual but striking. Brilliant for masculine cards ( obviously without the bow lol!) . Congratulations to the lucky winners. Love and hugs Alison xx
Really lovely card today, not as frilly and lacy as some.xx
What an unusual card. I really like it. X
Hi Sue. Am definitely going to give this one a go. I remember the one you did previously & never got around to trying it. Project for this week for me!!! Thank you x
Hi Sue
A stunning card today. I just love the way you have used the circle dies, would you believe me if i told you i was going to try out this idea....great minds think alike!!
Love Rosie from Chorley....xxx
Hello Sue,
What a different and interesting design that gives you the look of ovals but is done with the Noble Circles. Clean and simple really but an elegance added with the beautiful ribbon and pearls.
Beverly

Hello Sue,
What a gorgeous card and a great idea! I don't have the circle ones but I'm wondering if It would be worth trying something with my squares - more in the diamond shape than square! Lovely colours and bow too.
I'm sorry I'm late - have had a migraine today so been in bed. Need to have some toast I think!
Frances - Fluffycat - you made me laugh yesterday! The lie down wasn't meant to be quite so long! Lol!
Pam , hope your alright!
Love to all lovely friends on the blog!
Myra xxx
Such a beautiful card! Love the circles!! Beautiful colors.
Beautiful card Sue and I do love your colours. Unfortunately do not have your circles die yet to attempt a copy.
Congratulations to your winners today.
Look forward to your informative post in the morning Pam. Xx
Simply a gorgeous card. I love the whole composition and the colors are rich and yummy.
Congrats to the lucky winners this week.

Hi Sue,
A different card again! A new idea! Clever way to use the Double Pierced Noble Circles! I like the colors, the corners details, the embossing background, the sentiment & silk ribbon (matches the papyrus card perfectly, indeed).
I don’t know about the big bow, it will be a problem to send the card by mail. I will make it smaller. Just a thought.
-
Debs Cards – best wishes to your husband and you. I don’t know if you noticed but the sentiments that Sue is writing on the cards are always the right words to say to somebody in need.

Pam – I hope I will not disappoint you! I’m used to see longer posts from you. Is everything all right there?
-
'P' in Wales – got the hugs, send back to you twice as much!
-
Elaine H – not worries to cross a busy street, Toronto has lots, lots of traffic light! On the other hand I will stop the traffic for you, so you’ll be safe. When is your flight?
-
PP/Princess Pixie/ Yvonne – Thank you, thank you, thank you for your very warm welcome. I don’t know if I “fit” in already, maybe soon. (I’m trying to lose a few pounds; hopefully I am on the right track- haha).
