Hello there my crafty friends! I am skipping back to the Atlantic Ocean collection for today's offering. I cut the
Atlantic Ocean Background out of black card, backing it with
Antique Gold card. Next I cut the centre out of it to create a frame and added mounting foam to the back. I embossed a piece of white card with the
Aztec Flower folder and attached the frame over it. I continued to cut the centre with the next die in the set to add more detail, then backed it with black and cut the centre out of it. I added foam, then turned it to a diamond orientation and attached it in the centre of the card. I cut the frame from the
Jessica die in black and backed it with gold and cut the centre out. I stamped my sentiment and attached the frame over it, then attached it across the centre of the card. I made a flower from the
Chrysanthemum set out of gold card and seated it with ribbon and leaves in the corner. I used both sets of the
Double Pierced Noble Squares to create a multi layered frame out of black, gold and white and added it over the background of the card to define the edges of the card. As finishing touches I added a couple of butterflies that were cut out of black card from the
Cascading Butterflies die set. White, black and gold mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card Sue, love it. Your shows on Hichanda were amazing, you are such a joy to watch and your smile is just so big when you are demonstrating, it's ibviius hiw much you love your work. I ordered the 2nd bundle as I had the ODS dies.
Lynda, so glad you had a lovely birthday with your family, it's my 70th next year, eeks.
Saba if you look in have a wonderful holiday.
Myra and Loreaine, hope the migraine clears soon., they are nasty things.
Karen, hope hubby is progressing well, good that you have nurse in every day to help you..
Diane, that trifle sounds wonderful, must try that one. Yummy.
Yorkiegirl, what a nightmare, I have friends in Solihull but always steer clear if Burmingham centre. Poor you you must have been exhausted.
Elaine, glad Andrew got home safely and even better that he had such a good time, what a man. Did he see the pic on Facebook of a man trying to land a monster catfish, nearly as big as him.
Norah, you are an absolute gem, thanks fir the hugs.
At Respiratory Consultants this afternoon, see what they have to say this time.
Caring hugs to all, especially our poorly and missing friends.
Pretty layering and color combo! Love the butterflies!
Hello Sue, love this card it is very elegant. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Really beautiful and elegant card. Loved your shows Sue.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh such a lovely card today, the Atlantic collection is one of my most favourite (after the Festive ones).
You really did us proud on Hochanda, loved every one of the shows, you were truly amazing, I so love watching you craft. I made 2 of the stained glass poinsettia cards yesterday one using the red glitter kiss which is amazing and the other using the DWCV card pads, I will send you the pictures.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above, I was reading yesterdays comments on here early this morning and you have covered everything in a nutshell, thank you. Hope all goes well this afternoon for you.
Yorkiegirl, sorry you had such a nightmare journey home from Cornwall, sounds like they threw everything but the kitchen sink at you, it is always nice to have a holiday but also nice to come home.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue WOW This is a gorgeous card very elegant. Loved watching all your shows yesterday. You are such a happy crafter and nothing seems to faze you. Hope to see you on our TV screens again soon.
Best Wishes.

Morning Sue.
Thank you a beautiful card.
Sue thank you for all the brilliant shows yesterday, your talent knows no bounds.
I forgot to congratulate all the other winners yesterday, so many congratulations and have lots of fun.
Take care all Kitty.
Morning Sue. Hope you got back home safe and sound after your wonderful weekend shows. I'm still hearing the golden, gentle and if you'll excuse me the seductive voice of Yannis when he was talking about the Glitter Kiss "the first date gentle kiss" I'm afraid I couldn't concentrate much after that lol how did you not just melt Sue lol see, I'm getting all unnecessary just going over it again lol.
So I said I rambled to much with rubbish on here so I'm going to compliment you on this beautiful die and sample, and add I've seen many many fabulous works of art on various fb pages that have used the Atlantic Ocean collection.
Sending much love n hugs your way. Have a good one xxx
Good Morning Sue
Beautiful card using my favourite flower die.Love the colour too.

Hi Sue
Love this card, the colours are great. Enjoyed your shows at the weekend, they gave me so many ideas
Pat x
Hello Sue and all
Lovely, lovely card - I almost ordered the Atlantic collection but then the Christmas collection came out and - well, I am so happy with what I have from that -specially after finally seeing you on Hochanda - yes, we now have National fast broadband and it has fixed the endless buffering problems with watching the catch up shows. I have so far only seen one show but you used some of the dies I have ordered and I am even keener to start on cards now. There are some really good specials too !
Going back on line for more of your demos, second your comments on the Glitter Kiss Stephanie,
like Kitty, I forgot to congratulate the winners yesterday - enjoy your prizes
hugs
Muriel x
Dear Sue and Satisfied Customers,
Glad I got this set. Glad of every SW set I have. Glad I can't get everything I want when I want it. Life is good when you want something and have to figure how to get it. Wouldn't it be boring to suddenly be rich and able to get everything? Where would be the joy of a SW set coming in the mail? And getting to see samples on the blog every day. I hope you recover quickly from the high-intensity weekend coming so soon after your Festive launch. Thanks for the high-sample weekend.
Love,
Donita
The Atlantic Ocean Background is one of my favourites. Love this card.
Good morning Sue. A very elegant card, the gold card is just so "gentle". Your shows were amazing, will save hard for your next ones!
Diane, that trifle sounds scrumptious, almost like a tiramisu. Pam, hope they haven't been moving things around over the weekend and that you have a peaceful week at work. I have a meeting this morning so I can be told what jobs I have to do for the last two weeks of term, as the 19 year old is taking over next week (before I've actually finished)! I'll echo the rest of Pam's comments. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Morning Sue,
A beautiful card gold and black looks so elegant and my favorite flower.
Catherine V94 xx
Such a beautiful card, I have some Atlantic dies so lovely, enjoyed all your shows too.
Hi Sue, beautiful card this morning. I love the colour combo.
Barbara V
Beautiful card Sue. I don't really have a favourite die set as I love them all but one week I love one set more than another depending on my mood and what cards I'm making.
Hope all goes well for you today Pam. I'm at the respiratory clinic in a couple of weeks and am supposed to have some other tests done before that but haven't even had the appointment yet!
Thoughts and prayers to all in need.
Crafty hugs,

Hi Sue, really nice card. Loved your shows on Hochanda, thank you for the ton of ideas. I have all of the dies you were showing plus more, in fact I think I have nearly all of your Christmas dies, so off I go to craft. Thank you again for all the inspiration and can't wait to see you again. Think you mentioned a couple of weeks. Look forward to that.

Beautiful card Sue. I love all the layers and the fact that it is square! Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Sue,
A striking design which looks very opulent due to the gold and black colour way.x
Great card, Sue, quite a chunky feel to it - and then the flower and butterflies kick in! Nice colour choice, too. Saw the Yannis show - wow. And the demos and samples great too!! You looked really well, a joy to watch as always.
Lynda B - late birthday wishes. Glad the big one was a happy celebration, shame about Alfie.
Echoing Pam - hope clinic goes well.
Hugs.

A stunning card to start the week Sue. Black and gold are favourite colours for me as they make a card look elegant. I haven't got your background die but I have quite a lot of your Christmas ones plus the ODS which I ordered yesterday. Great shows which I've recorded in order to rematch when my dies arrive. Thank you for such wonderful inspiration. Hugs xx P Austen
A lovely card today Sue. On my computer it looks more like kraft card than gold but means that combination would work too lol.
Hugs
Helen xx
Hi Sue,
Such a stunning card especially in that colour scheme, although the Atlantic Ocean background can carry a card all by itself, it's so striking...

A lovely card to start the week; it would look so nice

Good morning Sue and everyone
Lovely card to start the working week Sue I do love that colour combo Sue I wish I had known that it was your 60th birthday you would have definitely received a card from me I do hope it was a memorable day hugs Sue x
Pam it was horrible and believe me Birmingham city centre is to be avoided and if I could have avoided it I would have
At one point on the opposite side of the road in Birmingham a man was physically fighting with the driver of the veichle in front of him trying pull the door open and drag him out of his car and. Holding up all the other tragic behind him Talk about road rage 😡
Any way Pam I hope your visit to the respiratory clinic goes well and they can help you in some way big but gentle hugs to you my friend .
Ohh and I see you have a big birthday next year you will have to let me have your details and I will try to make you a Sue inspired card to celebrate it
June I was more than happy to walk through my front door I can tell ya. Lol
have a wonderful day folks
Hugs to all that need one

As a daily follower and admirer of Sue, I'm proud to think I share the same blog and craft as you. Congratulations love. And every time you look at and use your 2017 Angel it will be a wonderful reminder as to why Sue designed it ☺ I'm really delighted for you xx

Hi Sue, a beautiful card. Full of delicate, intricate detail. Lovely flower spray and butterflies.
Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
This is a beautiful stylish card Sue and i love everything about it, even down to the colours (which i know don't collapse) so much so that i went to check out it's ingredients and the only part that i have apart from the card it the Atlantic die, so does that count i wonder? Since i have not too small a stock of dies, i am quite sure that i can make it some other way. My girl got me a wee heart shaped Radley purse from Harry to give me and when i found out how much it had cost, i nearly collapse as i could have got another noble die set that i wanted for less than it cost. She shares her fathers views on my craft collection, that is until she wants me to make something up for her. Oh well i will just need to have plain squares and prick then with my ruler around the outside edge. Thank you flower for a lovely WOW that would be a popular make as i can see it made for males as well. Have a good day Sue and i hope that the weather is good to you.
CraftySueToo, i take it they haven't heard the phrase "here's your hat, where's your hurry?" Talk about getting that no wanted feeling flower, i feel really sorry for you as they are making sure that you get the message that they will carry on when you are away. It would be nice to think that you were going to be missed for your self and all the little things that you accomplished. Never mind flower, onwards and upwards and remember you're not looking back as you're not going that way, you're going forwards into a new happy phase of your life.
Oh Yorkie Girl, what a horrendous homeward journey, i hope that it hasn't spoiled the good time that you enjoyed down at Cornwall. My son Rory is travelling down to Birmingham next week and i have told him that i want his friend to pick him up at the bus station as i don't want him walking about there on his own. He was going down by train but it was proving to be just so expensive so that megabus at £20 each way was the better option. His friend Peter was going to come up to collect him until i put the kybosh on that idea. It is not just 5 minutes up the road to Glenochil and then to go back down again with him, to return him 2 weeks later, ehh no. Peter loves his cars and loves driving them(he has fancy fancy fast cars) so doesn't think anything of driving them long distances, but i don't think that is fair, so picking him up at the bus station is a better proposition all round.
Lynda, i'm sorry that your other wee grandson couldn't be there to wish you a happy birthday along with his cousins but i hope that you had a lovely day any way flower.
Pam flower, i hope that the respiratory clinic does something and it's not just a quick "oh you're feeling a bit better, awh well we will leave you like that the now and see you in 6 months again". It takes me that long to get there and then to get nothing done or changed any really works me up. It's a full service and mot that i need to go for but the thought of that walk and i'm breathless before i even get there, lol. Here's hoping that they are more of a help than a hindrance flower.
Lorraine flower i hope that your migraine fades away back where it came from again and soon for you flower. I can work on with a headache but a migraine floors me into my bed with the curtains shut along with the blinds, so i can only hope that you are back to normal soon. Sending hugs across to you and down to PP Yvonne who we need better again as well.
Well we have a lovely day up here in central Scotland and i hope that it stays like that with my beautiful hills showing off their beauty. I am going to make a start on some of my christmas cards and cut out from my new SW dies while hubby is at work and doesn't see them still in the packets, because then he'll know that they are new ones and go daft.
Sending hugs to all the Wilsonettes and honorary Wilsonettes too, i hope you have a good day or a better day than perhaps you've had lately,
love and crafty hugs
Norah(Glenochil)
Hi Sue,
Gorgeous card for us this Monday morning. Really enjoyed the shows yesterday and the samples were stunning.
Pam hope things go well for you at the clinic this afternoon.
Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Another lovely all-occasion card.

very nice card Sue ,Laura O
Hi Sue, a really elegant card that reminds me a little of Japanese lacquer work. I love the design and although there is a little too much black for me personally I can see the appeal to others. Your shows were a roaring success and you can see by the comments how much we miss seeing you on our screens, glad the next time is not too far away.

Hope you are enjoying your day, Hugs Brenda xxx
Lovely card for a Monday morning Sue, it was so good to see you back on our screens. We missed you x
Another stunning card design today. The gold is looking taupe. I know photographing anything shinny is an issue and a challenge. I have enjoyed watching your recent shows on hocanda. I always learn something from you. Happy 4th.
A stunning dramatic card
Hi Sue,
Such a stunning card! I love the black and gold colour combination.
Thank you for sharing.

Hello Sue and thanks again for another great card - love the antique gold colour.
Beautiful Sue card today really love it. Thanks Sue have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello Sue.
Great Card. Very impressive that the majority of the card is made with one die set. I do like this classic colour scheme and think it would make a great male card. Thanks for sharing.

Like the design and layout and the flower is great

Hi Sue
What a striking card today, that colour combination gives the card an elegant look. Another set of dies on my list! Thank you so much for your inspiration Sue. Really enjoyed your shows, but given me more headaches as what to buy. Unfortunately the collections weren't an option for me, but pleased you had some sellouts. Must make it all worthwhile for you. Looking forward to your next batch of shows on HOCHANDA.
Steph, like you I have been catching up on Sue's weekend shows & was stunned to hear my name mentioned. When Sue showcased t he festive collection I said to my husband 'there's my angel' (Sue's angel of course, but in rubber stamp form!) I don't think I commented at the time because I thought I didn't need the die as I had the stamp! However will rectify that & now buy the die as it is associated with me & the card I made! Thank you Sue.
Thi is such a gorgeous and elegant card. Hugs
Really lovely card. The colour combination is so striking. X
Hi Sue this is a stunning card those dies are amazing and I love the colours you have used. Have a great evening. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue
WOW, a stunning work of art with today's card
June x
Hello Sue,
Striking design and beautiful dies, just not sure about the colours - it could be my laptop but it's quite dull looking - sorry.
Pam I hope the Respiratory Clinic works it's magic and they don't fob you off.
Elaine, good to know that Andrew has had such a good time - big catch or not, he's a star.
Yvonne, hope you are perking up.
Laine, hope you are feeling better.
Alimecca, hope you are coming along nicely!
Sharon, hope the dentist soon sorts out your tooth, and it's not too painful in the treatment or your pocket!!!
love to all

Hello Sue,
I really love the Atlantic Ocean Dies! Really lovely. You don't need much else to make a lovely card! Well - apart from a little talent!! Lol!
Now I understand about the Angel !! You may remember Sue that I was convinced I had a lovely Die of yours which was an Angel with a Trumpet. I'd bought it after Christmas that year so hadn't actually used It! I managed to confuse you as well as myself until I went and checked! Eureka a it was a stamp! I'm really glad the 2017 Angel is similar as I'm so fond of her. I haven't seen that Show either as yet!
Much better today thank you Pam and others who asked including Laine - a fellow sufferer! Hope you feeling better too Laine!
Love to everyone , Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xx
Hi Sue. Beautiful gold black and white card. Love this Atlantic background die. The gorgeous flower and butterflies finish the card perfectly. Thank you for all your marvellous inspiration over the weekend and look forward to seeing you again soon. Xx
Hi Sue,
Beautiful card and design. Not my favorite colors but work well together.
Pam - Hope all went this afternoon for you.
Hugs for you all,
Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only Canadian Wilsonette
Good evening Sue, another beautiful creation, I am not normally a lover of those colours but I have to say the card is stunning.
Pam, as always I echo your summary. Hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Patricia xxx
Sue this is tunning, i love the black gold.
I forgot to say sorry for not commenting lately.
All of your cards over the last few day have been stunning.
I have been in and out of A&E all weekend being ill and am so tired so
please forgive me for this one comment.
Hi Sue Stunning card the atlantic dies are winners I love them! The die I won in your launch draw arrived today its fabulous I'm looking forward to using it! Thank you again Sue for your generosity
Pam I hope your clinic visit was helpful today
Sharon poor you I hope you get that appointment soon toothache is horrible
Sending good wishes to all
Hi Sue
Lovely card today. I need to go back and see what I missed last week.
Beautiful card Sue!
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What a rich and opulent card sample, it is just so striking and sumptuous that even those who aren't keen on predominantly black cards will most certainly be seduced by its appeal. Apart from the breathtaking colour, the dies used are equally gorgeous....i love the design of the Atlantic Background, square makes a refreshing change. The Crysanthamum is superb and the addition of the butterflies is an inspired choice and really finishes off the card beautifully. We have had the pleasure of being utterly spoiled over the past couple of days and I thankyou for all the hard work you have so obviously put in on our behalf...please don't retire anytime soon Sue, we would be devastated and at a loss for inspirational creative input:-)
As Norah so beautifully described, we have had a lovely, if a tad windy, day in Stirling and her hills were indeed a picture to behold.
I had an appointment for a blow dry whilst my Mum had a cut and colour, however, my hair was giving Wurzel Gummage a run for his money and the expression dragged through a hedge backwards springs to mind, so my hairdresser took great pity on me and did a cut and colour for me too:-) Feel like a new woman, ready to face the vagaries of the world with gusto, only problem being my savings for Sues shows next week have taken quite a hit:-( It didn't help that a spied a lovely dress in Stons and just had to have it! You would love it Saba, its navy with big red and pink flowers:-)
Feeling tired this evening after my late appointment but at least yesterdays migraine is a distant memory, thanks for the good wishes they really helped.
Myra, glad to hear that you are feeling brighter today, hope it continues because migraines are tough cookies to shift.
Pam, hope your appointment went well, if anything, it must be a relief to get away from the madness at work:-)
Elaine, great that Andrew has thoroughly enjoyed his fishing trip, hope you are feeling better and that your eye is clearing up.
Carmen, hope you enjoyed your long weekend and that the weather was glorious.
Dawn, sorry to hear of your trips to A&E, hope you're feeling a bit better and on the road to recovery.
P, how is Yeti settling in, is he still a bit wild?
Yvonne, i know you're probably too ill to bother at the moment with your tablet but i will send you healing hugs nonetheless in the hope that we will be sparring again soonxxx
Hugs to all my blog besties and Norah, i do hope Rory has a safe trip and enjoys his time awayxxx

This is a very opulent card Sue! The color scheme is one that could be used for any gender, or any age.
Lovely design. I'm not a fan of so much black but I'm sure this would work with other colours too. The Cascading Butterflies are my most used dies at the moment.
Take care everyone.
Hello Sue,
Loved your shows from the weekend and all the wonderful creations that you shared with all of us.
Today's card is opulent and elegant in the gold and black. I love this die set and have used it many times in my card making.
Have a wonderful day.
