Hi bloggers! I thought I shouldn't neglect some of the dies from recent release so here is a milk and duck egg blue card that uses the
Seychelles die set. I started by cutting the decorative die on both sides of a piece of milk card. I backed it with
Duck Egg blue for contrast. I cut a strip of
double cream pearls down the middle and added them to the side edges of the background. Next I cut the
Seychelles in
milk card and backed just the central part of it with duck egg card, leaving the lacy edge area open. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the inner die and inked it with
Aqua Adirondack ink. I seated it in the centre of the card with mounting foam. Next I used the
Exquisite Poppy die cut out of
milk card adhered to sticky adhesive sheets. I coated them with
Iced Snow to add bling before using them to accent the sentiment in opposite corners. Flatback cream pearls were added to the die cuts before milk and duck egg mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Lovely card Sue. I ordered the Chrysanthemum and Butterfly Cascade dies yesterday.
Was going to get more but my grandson Jack wanted a double bed for his new bedroom as his twin had one and poor Mum had no money left after the house move so I bought it. He is really delighted with it and slept so well on the first night it was assembled. He sent me a phot of it made up with his New York bedding. Gotta save up again now.
Welcome back Margaret and Hazel, whatever your absence you are still Wilsonettes and it's good to see you.
June hope the hospital appointment went well.
Tina, take care my dear, you have had a tough time, we want you well.
Elaine, I hope Andrew improves soon, it's so unpleasant for him.
Dragonsnap, glad you arrived safely and have great weather, enjoy yourselves, you deserve it.
Donita, it has been amazing listening to your holiday tales, enjoyed them so much. Safe journey home.
Girls, you are making me so jealous about your meet up, it sounds quite a blast, how many are going and where will you be. I hope you all have the greatest time.
Hugs to all including missing friends, Laine, Wheeley, Yvonne, thinking of you.
Morning Sue, simply gorgeous.

Morning Sue. What a delightful wake up call. Duck egg blue is such a pretty shade, another to add to my card stock collection. Talking of collections, I have such a naughty confession to make ! Being so excited and thrilled to open my Xmas gifts of SB accessories whilst away and making a few for last month's market, plus not going into my craft space since, I was looking for a particular foliage die yesterday, and surprisingly came across two of the Pacific dies that has also been a gift for my birthday which is close to the festive season ! I was so busy getting packed and organising lists for a few weeks away I must have put them in my die box ready to put on a magnetic sheet and forgotten I had them !! Along with the guilt I felt I was chuffed to bits as they were the 2 I'd been admiring on recent blog samples, I feel really bad to think this wonderful man has spoilt me, blamed you for another metal filled birthday and Christmas yet I forget I had them ! Maybe it's time to get my mojo back and shake myself up and get back into the swing of card making again, I'm also moving a large box around a tiny room that i cant bare to recycle as its a box my craft shop owner gave me to take our dried food away with us but it came direct from CE towers with her delivery of CE goodies in with CE wrapping sticky tape all over it lol, its SO in my way lol but im such a saddo lol i must be if im keeping a massive box just cuz it has connections with my fav company - i need some serious treatment me thinks 😕 oh well, thats the text to tell me my 2 are making their way back from the country park so ill send you a big hug and hope you have a happy day xxx
Hi Sue a beautiful card and the Exquisite Poppies look lovely coated in the iced snow.
Take care
Chris xx
Morning Sue. A gorgeous card. For some reason i dont have any of the Duck Egg Blue card and i dont know why as it is such a beautiful warm blue colour, so i must get on the internet and do some card shopping LOL. Loving the Iced Snowed Poppies and the pearls. Woke up this morning to a covering of snow and it is so cold so take care everyone.
Best Wishes.

Morning Sue,
A fabulous card today. I don't think I have any of the duck egg blue card. I have nearly every other colour and I am expecting some Mocha and Papyrus to be delivered today if the postman is kind.
I have been looking after a friends twelve year old dog since 27th December while she has been in New Zealand visiting her sons. She is coming to collect her today and take her home. We will miss her and so will my two dogs, but I am pleased to hand her back safe and well. I haven't been in my craft room very much as she is totally deaf and I haven't wanted to leave her for very long, so perhaps I can now and want to try and replicate some of your beautiful card designs.
Love and hugs
Dawn Searle 😘
Good morning Sue today's card is gorgeous I love the design and the dies are amazing. I have had a little spending spree and ordered some of your dies. I am just waiting for them to arrive. I can't wait to have a play. Have a great day today. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Another lovely card Sue. I love the effect of iced snow, especially on the flowers. Thank you.
Morning Sue. Lovely card. It is so easy to forget some of our older dues when your lovely new ones come out. I must make a note to myself to use some of my older dies more, they are so beautiful they deserve more outings.
Love Rosemarie X X

Hi Sue and All,
I'll be glad when we see how to make cards from the new release. But if you're busy making deadlines for yet another another release, take your time!
Pam, thank you for summing up everybody's news from the day before. Very helpful to get a summary, and to be your chorus.
Spent my last day in Paradise cleaning and making post cards to race home. Getting up in a few hours to catch my plane. Even coffee doesn't get up that early.
Enjoy your Thursday! It's almost the weekend!
Love, Donita
Beautiful card Sue, duck egg blue looks wonderful with milk and those poppies are gorgeous.
Marion S x
Hi Sue. Love the colour combinations of today's card. There is something about these dies that reminds me a bit about the strings of a piano or a harp. They are so delicate, I really love them.

Hi Sue,
What a pretty card and the design showcases how useful and versatile your recent die releases are with their separate cutting edges so that we can cut apertures with practically any of them to produce such beautiful backgrounds as you have done here with the Seychelles set...just lovely...

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a really lovely card today, the duck egg blue is such a beautiful colour and your dies and inspiration have created a masterpiece specially with the sugared poppies.
Consultant wants to see me in a years time to see how I am doing but he is very pleased with me.
Lorraine so pleased that your son got a refund and you got flowers, restores your confidence in the hotel, oh and you will get your mojo back, it does the rounds of all us crafters.
Elaine, I got my walking stick from Lloyds Pharmacy, they have mobility outlets in many of them now or you could go on line, mine is one that folds up when not in use, ideal for my mobility scooter. Hope Andrew and Helen are feeling better.
Tina T, pleased all the paperwork is done, and you feel better with the hair colouring.
Donita, have a safe journey home.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good Morning Sweet Sue on a cold Thursday morning, the dog is running hubby mad this morning do you think there is Spring in the Air? A beautiful card today, and I love the look of the three diecuts along in a row, you always manage to come up with just something different every time. hugs Shirleyxxxxxx
Another stunning card love the colour scheme. Like the way you have made up the background and of course the flowers are always a winner.

What a gorgeous card today, I really like these dies with the bars across the normal open areas, they look so different. Lovely spring time colour too with pearls and glitter, a true Sue card. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Elaine I hope the tablets take effect quickly and you are all feeling brighter soon xxx
Tina what a lovely treat xxx
Pam you are good to your family and it's nice to know the bed was appreciated. There are 9 of us that meet up, this will be the third time. I'm really suprised the hotel let us go back as we sit and chat for hours and there is a huge amount of laughter. The lovely ladies at the hotel come and join us as they call us a breath of fresh air. I wouldn't dream of telling you about Maureen Myra and Norah and the young policemen though!! Xxx
Margaret and Hazel good to see you both back in the fold xxx
Great card. Elegant
So pretty, lovely colour combination
Hi Sue,

Beautiful colour, really shows the laciness of the dies. Any shade of blue does it for me! Love the sugaring on the poppies. I have to give my husband a list of dies I would like fir my birthday - that's not a problem (all of the new release!). The problem is just what order to put them in!! Thank you Sue!
Morning Sue, lovely card so fresh, colours just compliment each other.

Hi Sue
What a nice spring card, love the colours and your sparkly flowers. x
Hello Sue,
How gorgeous is the card today? So light and fresh looking.
Pam, Diane hasn't mentioned the Manageress at the hotel who gave us all the necessary plates etc. so that we could have a party in one of the rooms. Guess who's room ended up covered in crumbs, jam stains and other unmentionables? Yes - mine ha ha. She didn't mention the BBC interviewer for the Politics Programme from Gretna, or the young men and railway guards who always help me with my trolley. Of course the fact that I'm 25 yrs older than Diane has nothing to do with it ha ha!! Norah and Diane are the "babes" in the group but I particularly like going on the back of Norah's scooter when she's doing "wheelies" in the hotel car park!!!! Myra and Hazel are the chauffeurs once we get there, boy talk about white knuckle rides ha ha (Ooh, I'm definitely in big trouble). We have a marvellous time.
Enough - I send love to all, hope Donita has a safe journey home and that Dragonsnap has a wonderful holiday. Pam hope your chest is behaving - and Tina that Owen recognises you with your hair done! June S, good news from the Consultant.
Laine and Yvonne, I hope you are just busy and not poorly.
Maureen xxxx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Lots of intricate detail, sparkly flowers and lovely pearls.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

Good morning Sue and everyone
A really beautiful card and such elegant colours add to the overall effect of showing your dies off to their full potential.
Thank you to everyone for your lovely welcome back.
Diane never mind the policeman incident what about our meeting with the BBC film crew when we had one of our meet ups? I agree the hotel staff are so kind and very helpful, so looking forward to April! To think we all tell our children and grandchildren not to talk or arrange a meet up with people on the internet, and we do just that!
Yes our group of Sue's followers have been on The BBC while we had one of our meet ups!
Margaret
Hi Sue, a beautiful card and I love that shade of blue. I particularly like the pearl strips as they finish off what would otherwise be just blank edges and they also serve to draw your eye into the stars of the show - the dies, of course.
Frances
Yet another stunning card Sue. I love it when you cut a die from both sides of a piece of card & cover the overlap.
That's a really pretty card. I do love those Indian Ocean dies.
What a pretty card and such lovely colours. xx

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
"JUST FOR YOU"
Another Truly Tremendous Card Using Some Outstanding Products
I Love The Colour Combination "The Milk And The Duck Egg Blue" Just So Very Beautiful
Soft And Delicate.
Also Using "The Stupendous Seychelles Die Set" As Your Main Focal Point (This Die Is Just As
Beautiful As "The Seychelles Island Itself"
Also Using "The Exquisite Poppy" As With All Your Flower Dies They Are So Luxurious And You
Convert Them In So Many Different Ways Making Sure We Gain Value For Money From Our Die Sets.
Not Forgetting "The Double Strip Of Pearls" Also "The Adirondack Ink" Last But Not Least "The Awesome
Iced Snow" For The Bling On Your Card.
"Today's Card" I Love How You Used "The Seychelles Die" And Cut Twice Into The Milk Foundation Card
Then Backed With The Delectable Duck Egg Blue Foundation Card, Creating A Remarkable Background
Then Cutting "The Seychelles Die" Once Again This Time Mounting In The Centre Of Your Background
To Hold Your Sentiment Where You've Used Your Adirondack On Your Sentiment To Create Colour.
Taking Your Pearls And Cutting Them Into Single Strips And Placing Either Side Of Your Card.
Adding A Few Pearls Here And There, Then You've Added "The Extremely Exquisite Poppy" And Covered
In Iced Snow To Bring Bling To Your Card, Which Is "A First Class Masterpiece" Just Stunning.
Sue Thank You So Very Very Much For Sharing, Everyday I Check In And You Inspire Me And I Truly
Appreciate That Very Much.
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather

Hello Sue,
I think today's card is a real Wow card! I do like the Seychelles Die but isn't it effective cutting and layering it landscape and portrait! It really is lovely . The milk sparkly poppies look so pretty and the pearls just finish the whole thing off! Thank you!
June - so pleased you have been "signed off for 12 months !" You have done so well. That's good news.
Donita - safe journey home!
Pat L - that Butterfly Cascade is lovely! I totally agree with you. How is little Sarah getting on just now?
Pam - I did smile about the bed! I'm so glad your grandson loves it! Grandchildren are such fun and they go home too!!!
Maureen - " white knuckle ride!" - you'll be in the boot ( trunk ) next time!!
As for the policeman - he and his colleague were very nice and sat and chatted to us - even took a group photo of us!! I hasten to add it was on Saba's iPad - they did not want a personal reminder of us!! They weren't mug shots either!!
I'd better go!

And a very pretty card in the end Sue, really must get down to trying this cutting of the die twice into a background and then filling in the centre with another die cut....would never say you had done this, it looks so neat. Welcome back to the poppy die !!!!! Luv Ursula xx
A beautiful card. Wish I could get some of this Duck Egg Blue card stock here in the USA. I always love the glittered flowers that you make for your cards. I could use that fire on your recent stamp release for it is COLD with extremely strong WINDS here today. Oh, and more snow.

Hello Sue,
What a gorgeous card today. The Duck Egg Blue and Milk card are so soft and soothing together, a delightful combination. I'm happy to see you using the Seychelles die, I love the lacey effect that it creates. The Pacific Island Collection is one of my favorites and I find myself using it frequently. Topping it off with the sugared Poppies is the icing on the cake.
Have a lovely day Sue,

Hello Sue,
Today's card is simply stunning, I love how you have created the background and focal point from the Seychelles die, and the duck egg and milk give a beautiful soft feel to it. The sugared poppies are the icing on the cake, gorgeous. Thank you.
Lorraine I'm pleased you have had a positive result by complaining to the hotel and thank you for yesterday's hugs, they were lovely.

So prettY!

Maureen I think you will be needing that tin hat!
Hazel X
Beautiful card Sue. Thank you for sharing and I do like that duck egg blue colour. Good to see all my friends back on the blog.
Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is such a beautiful combination of colours Sue, so soothing, so pretty as the milk is that soft winter white sort of a colour that makes a winning combination for me. Unfortunately i can't say that i've even been to othe Seychelles through your dies because i don't have them either so it's bonnie Scotland for me, but it's a beautiful card flower and since i have a get well or thinking of you card to make for my friend Margaret to give to one of her neighbours who is going into hospital, this would make a lovely combination along with the Spanish dies(which i loveeeeee). Thank you flower for bringing such a lovely card to our viewing today. Sorry i've not been in the last couple of days but unfortunately this chest and lung infection is just flooring me at the moment. I called up the doctors yesterday for an appointment if i couldn't get a repeat perscription for the antibiotics but it such a long distance to walk as my doctors reception is the furtherest away in the community hospital and the breathing just wasn't for playing nicely to let me get along, but the lassie called me back about half an hour after i had phoned to tell me that another perscription was on it's way out to me via the chemist, so fingers crossed that this works.
Now girls if you can imagine a 6' toddler(as Diane is just 1 year older than me), and the 5' baby(and i'm the quietest, don't let that Saba kid you on) and the antics of getting me in to restuarants because we walk(that's the royal we and purely figuratively speaking)as some toddle back as if they are in their teens again because their new shoes are hurting their feet, others get lost frequently and in general it is the best legal fun that you can have in such a short space of time. I am so lucky to have found 8 lovely people that are as mad as me and that enjoy every minute of each others time, although by the racket that some of them makes coming up to their beds singing along the corridors, it's a wonder we still get allowed in and not out the back in the shed, lol. April can't come soon enough for the fun and frolics to begin.
Pam flower, your wee pal is enjoying your die money more getting a lovely new bed that will last him a good few years. Seeing his pictures that he has taken shows just how much he loves his new "big" bed. When i was in my late teens i got a double bed that had the lift up for the storage underneath and i loved it. That bed went to my husbands uncle years later when he needed a new bed in his flat and saw a lot more years of use, so it was definitely money well spent. My Rory now has an almost identical bed that he stores all his treasures in so that his dad doesn't get at them, but at least he doesn't go hiding inside it like my brother used to do to mine and drive mum of her head looking for him.
Donita flower, i'm glad you have had a wonderful holiday and even better with your Dad, it's memory will last a much longer time after it's past, that's time that you can never get back. Safe journey home flower to you and your Dad.
Dragonsnap, enjoy your holiday away to such an idyllic paradise and meeting your Canadian friends, have fun and glad you have arrived safely.
Andrew, i hope that you start to pick up again soon flower, not many of these horrible things left to go and then you can concentrate on getting well again and living life to the max.
Tina flower, i hope that you are ok and trying to keep yourself busy, but i know that there is only so much cleaning that can be done, but sending you hugs.
Love and crafty hugs to all the Wilsonettes that need, want or could do with them,
Norah (Glenochil Village)
This is so prety, love the colour combo
Sue this another beautiful card that just brightens up the day with that gorgeous colour.
I love the die as a background and love that it looks fab how you have used
it for this card and that it looks equally beautiful on its own.
This is definately a real beauty.
lovely tranquil card, hugs xx
Lovely card today Sue. I love the blue and white together.
Hugs to all.
Happy crafting.

Gorgeous card & lovely colour combo Sue. As I am wearing my crafting halo tonight for sorting all my cardstock out & putting them in labelled suspension files in my cabinet, I know I have the necessary card & dies, so will use this idea, if you don't mind!!!! Thanks xx
Great colour combination and I love the use of the die as the background. Off to sunny! Edinburgh tomorrow to see our granddaughter who's at uni there. I think it might be cold so looking forward to somewhere cards each day. Best wishes all jxxx

Hi Sue. Another absolutely gorgeous card again today !!! I can't believe you used Duck egg blue cardstock. I just finished a card yesterday using my new Duck egg blue cardstock !!! I used coconut white card with mine but now I have seen your card with the milk cardstock I think it goes better than the coconut white does. The Seychelles die is Sooo beautiful Sue. I really do love this card, especially with the pearls and those amazing ice snow Exquisite Poppies. I think using the same die to make a background and also the focal topper is a fab idea Sue. I really want to have a go at making my own version of this card. I have not yet made any Ice Snow Exquisite Poppies so I really need to make those too !!! Thank you for sharing this beauty with us today. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
Lots of love to everyone from Tres x x x

Beautiful card Sue. Do love this shade of blue. X
I love that this card (and a beauty) was made almost completely with the one die. We can stretch a lot of our owned dies in just this way assuming we (at least I) would have thought of it without Sue.
Sounds like you ladies have wonderful meet-ups and have a lot of fond memories to share.
Everyone have a good evening (?),

Fabulous card really love the colour combo and flowers too so cute. Really need the die now lol.
Pat l. No I've not booked the holiday. That got flung to the side this week after having my consultation at the ivf clinic.
Now that it's time this year to put my wee embryos back in after the cancer treatment last year we were told because I turn 43 in a few weeks we need to pay for the treatment. That was a bummer!!!
However we are planning a few days in Ireland for my birthday at the beginning of march if graeme doesn't get any more overtime flung at him lol xx
Sue, this is a lovely card, but isn't it the Maldives die that you have used? The Seychelles die is straight down the sides and a lot smaller. I have just gone onto the site that I bought my dies from and this is definitely the Maldives die.
Regards Heather
