Good Sunday morning all! I have just realised how close we are getting to Mother's Day (at least in the UK) so I thought I had better share some of those cards with you. This one uses the Mom version of the
Mom/Mum die. I started with a
Pixie powder back ground using the
Aqua Lagoon and Emerald Green. I made a large enough piece that I was also able to cut the backing pieces for Mom out of the extra bit so it matched with my background. I cut the Mom die in white and backed the letters with the solid part of the die cut out of the pixied card and glued them together. I made a frame out of the
Background rectangles, but cut it down in the corners to fit more to the shape of the word. I made a couple of
Passion Flowers to hide the cut and decorate the card. The backing for the flowers was cut out of a sticky adhesive piece attached to white card so I was able to assemble them and add some
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the flowers. I accented them both with white leaves. White on white mats were used to complete the card. The finished sizes are 6 1/4" x 10 1/4" in size.
The winners of this week's Comment Game are:
Jenny Briggs!!!
Eunice!!!
Sheila Hodges!!!

Morning Sue.
Thank you for all the brilliant shows yesterday.
Todays card is so pretty too, Thank you.
Congratulations to all the winners, have fun with your prizes.
Take care and keep warm Kitty.
Hello Sue and all
The colours in the pixie powder background are lovely and I have them both, will try that combination. It is such a pretty card, I had to have the passion flowers from the latest release and they make up so well.
Congratulations to the competition winners, enjoy your prizes.
Pauline, I don’t know if this will help but I log on to Hochanda.com and go to the replay section where you can pick up Sues shows for a while after they have been on. It used to pixilate and buffer a lot but now with faster broadband it is very good, I will be catching up when visitor leaves tomorrow.
Enjoy your Sunday, it was a lovely relaxing one here
Hugs

Morning Sue. Don't I just know how close we are to mother's day that's why I've only watched half of a live demo over the past two days, making these cards for market today, I was hoping to have had this die to work with, but it wasn't to be, the only consolation is that I've others to make a few 'decent' cards with thanks to your adorable designs. I fell in love with this pretty die at launch and I'm still very much in love with it plus this delicate beautiful sample. Must go as things to do but I will congratulate our three lucky comment winners and send hugs to you Sue for an enjoyable day and I'll catch up with the shows on my rest day tomorrow xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful creation today, sadly my Mum is no longer with us but I really enjoy seeing all the samples that people make.
Congratulations to Jenny Briggs, Eunice and Sheila Hodges
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Muriel, thank you so much for the information regarding watching Sue's shows. I will definitely give it a go.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone and I hope you keep warm. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card this morning Sue. Love everything about it. But unfortunately like so many others in this lovely blog family..... my Mum isn't with us anymore....she passed away 42 years ago. She was only 53. So Mothers Day is not as special to me as it was.....but I do know that being well appreciated by my own sons... kinda makes up for it a little.
Congratulations to our winners today Jenny... Eunice... and Sheila
Sending best wishes to everyone this very cold morning.... stay warm.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
A lovely card Sue Like a few others my mum is no longer here I do make one for my mother in law though
It’s a definite occasion where we think about mums and all that they do whether alive or otherwise
Stunning card Sue x xhazel
Hi Sue. Love the colours of the pixie powders that you have used on this card and the fact that the sentiment says it all. I quite often think that the simplest cards are truly the best. It was great seeing you on TV again. I did enjoy the shows and learned such a lot. Hope you have a great holiday and I look forward to seeing you on TV again soon.
Lisbeth
Very pretty card Sue. Thank you for all your wonderful demos on a Hochanda, it was great to see you. Looking forward to March 30th, when you will be on again.

Hi Sue
Such a pretty die and card for those followers still lucky enough to have their Mums.
I am away tor weekend so looking gorward to catching up with your shows tomorrow!
From other comments it looks like you are off travelling soon so have a great holiday and I hope you get some time to RELAX!
Lesley S x
Love the colours you’ve used in this card.
Seems like you could cut the backing for the letters right out of the middle of the Pixied background, the part that will be covered by the white background. Thank you for telling us what colors you used.
Seems like one day a year is hardly enough to celebrate mothers who put their heart and soul and all their energy into raising new people.
Turned upside down, this card also says WOW.
I'll have to try flowers with the sticky and glitter.
Congrats to winners!
Best,
Donita
Love the colors of the Pixies here and that fab white Mom word contrasts it beautifully. Great idea to cut down the rectangles to fit the word better! The white on White flowers are gorgeous too!
Hi Sue
Lovely card, great background. I enjoyed your Hochanda shows so many techniques, wonderful.

Lovely card & die, but unfortunately like many of the others I no longer have a use for it. I just love that pixie background, my colours & ones I have to emulate your background. Thank you so much Sue. Still have to catch up on a couple of shows from yesterday, but enjoyed what I saw.
Just adorable card!! Such great work with pixies powders!
Hi Sue
A striking card. Lovely colours. Great tip about resizing the rectangles too.

A beautiful card Sue, I am one of the lucky ones who still has her mother - she will be 99 this coming August.
Still have a couple of your shows to catch up on - they have been recorded. Some great tips and huge amount of inspiration from the shows I have seen.
Congratulations to this week's comment game winners.

Pretty card!

Lovely card design. One any "Mum" would appreciate. Pixie Powder backgrounds make me smile. I enjoyed your shows on Hochanda. Great designs and card making dies, stamps, stencils and embossing folders.
Hi Sue
Beautiful card that any mum/mom would be over the moon to receive, I know I would. Love the pixie powder background and I must get the aqua lagoon one. Congratulations to our three lucky ladies, Jenny, Eunice and Sheila enjoy your prizes
Love and hugs to everyone especially all our missing friends
Pat
Hi Sue,
Lovely card but like so many others have said, it is one that I have no use for as my lovely Mam and MIL are no longer with us. I know that they would have both loved this card though.
Many congratulations to the lucky winners.
Love and hugs Alison xxx
Love the pixie powder background, I am partial to green tones and what a splendid idea. Love the Mom die and I seen the card where you can use the "o" as a "u", ingenious!!!
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue, 🥇Award Winning Blog 2016
I Said This Yesterday But I Wish To Say It Yet Again I Throughly Enjoyed Your Remarkable Shows On
Hochanda Yesterday Phenomenal Demos I Gained So Much Knowledge From You, I Loved The Shows With
Charlie He Seems To Really Enjoy The Shows With You Plus He Was Truly Delighted With The Card
You Gave Him. I Do Believe Your Back At The End Of March!!
I Never Had A Mum to Send A Card To, I Used To Send My Father A Thank You Card On Mother’s Day
As He Was Just The Very Best. Both Mom/Pops
I Know WhenYou Released This Particular Die Some Blog Members Mentioned That They Called There
Mom/Mum, Mam Well This Is Easily Achieved (I Believe) If You Cut Out Your Letters Turn Your O Into A U
Then Turn The U Upside Down Using The Extra Small Flowers That Come Within The Die Set These Could
Be Placed Across The Centre Giving You An A But With A More Curved Finish To The A.....

Such a pretty card and the pixies look so good with the die. A shame there is not a ‘U’ for MUM with this. I know the ‘O’ can be trimmed, but it comes out smaller. Xx

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
You can never fail to impress with a striking pixie powdered background and this one is no exception, i particularly love how you have utilised the waste to create a gorgeous background for the Mom lettering, simply stunning! I am one of the fortunate ones who still has my Mum with me and i would be proud to give her this on Mothering Sunday.
Sorry for being AWOL yet again, ive been a mixture of super busy and super fatigued from being super busy that i have neglected my blog duties....i havent even had the time to watch any of Sues shows yet, embarrassing or what?:-) , call my self a fan? Its a disgrace, how dare i show my face! I promise to treasure every moment when I eventually do find the time very soon indeed.
Feeling very sleepy right now, had a busy afternoon with my brother, his partner and my niece....they brought a birthday cake from good old M&S, not because it was anyone’s actual birthday, just because it had a yellow reduced sticker on it:-) Lunch sorted! I’m afraid that i have a wee confession to make mainly aimed in Saba’s Direction because Melissa my niece is now a size three and i gifted her two pairs of unworn pumps, one red glitter and the other pink glitter....i know you will be disappointed Saba but just think, with your varicose veins the shoes would look aesthetically more pleasing on Melissa’s feet:-) She also nabbed 4 pairs of sheepskin mules that I don’t use anymore, however, i understandably had to fill the gap with a new silver sparkle pair and a black pair:-) Just in case i have to go into hospital you understand:-)
Speaking of the hospital, i have yet another INSANELY early start tomorrow morning as i wait for the ambulance to take me to the Beatson Hospital in Glasgow....i have a PET scan to get in the morning and an appointment with my Oncologist in the afternoon so it will be a long day methinks:-( If the illness doesn’t kill me then surely these early mornings and long trips to Glasgow will:-)
Anyway, going to try and have an early night tonight, Darcey permitting of course....she has been waking me at around 2am in the morning for me to put out another feed for her which she then turns her nose up at!!??!?Anyone looking to adopt an 11yr old Tabby with a suspected Eating Disorder? All enquiries will be seriously considered.......:-)
Cuddles to all my blog besties, especially missing friends and those in need of a hugxxx
Love and crafty hugs

First of all congratulations to the comment winners and yesterday’s card winner. If I don’t say it first I will forget. Lovely card Sue but like a lot of people no one to send it to. Perhaps it could have something else on it. Love the pixie powder background. Thank you for sharing Sue.
Hi Sue and everyone
Fantastic card and a gorgeous pixie background.
Congrats to the lucky winners.
hugs to all,
Maria x
Lovely card though not one I make any more. The pixie background is gorgeous and I think the Passion Flower die will be heading my way soon.
Congratulations to the comment game winners Jenny Briggs, Eunice and Sheila Hodges.
Laine, yellow sticker cakes always taste so good. Hope your day runs smoothly on Monday.
Take care everyone.
Good morning Sue.
I love this card but like many others on the blog my own Mum died many years ago ( just realised that it's 65 years ago) I'm sure the card would look as good with 'Friend' or how about 'Dad' . You are an inspiration to us all Sue and I think the card would look great with S U E on the front .
Congratulations to the winners,enjoy your gifts.
