Hi bloggers! I was supposed to be doing shows on Create and Craft today, but I caught a nasty cold that just isn't letting go of me. I am feeling a bit better but my voice is not quite back and I still have quite a bit of congestion too. So I have asked Julia is she will cover my shows for me today so I know you will be in good hands with her! Here is one of the samples made with the
Alice die that is on the shows. I started with a piece of
sticky adhesive sheet and I cut the
Alice die in white and added it to it and trimmed around the edge to be even. Next I cut the
Alice die in
Arctic Blue, Sky Blue and Bluebell card. I used the fall away pieces from all the colours to fill in the grid. I added mounting foam to the back and added it to a larger piece of white card. I used double sided tape around the edge and added
Iced Snow to the tape for a frosty edge. I cut the
Camilla die in white and added it to the centre of the card. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with the circle in the centre of Camilla. I added two small flowers in blue made from the
Bitty Blossoms. White and Bluebell mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x
6 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Adorable card! Beautiful ombre feel for the squares on the background and just love Alice die!! :D
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, sorry to hear that you have been unwell, although you are on the mend, you will still have to take it easy for a while, thankfully Julia will be taking your show, she will do you proud, hope you feel much better soon.
The sample today is exquisite, so beautiful and I have that die so will be trying it with your permission of course.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Oh Sue, it seems as soon as you kick back, relax and take your annual holiday away from work the bugs seem to catch up with you ! I think the more 'mature and wise' we get the harder it is to shake off these colds, they want their bugs worth out of us, I do hope you can find some relief from somewhere soon and get back to health asap.
Calming was the first thought when today's sample loaded, soothing beautifully matched blues with the stunning Camilla taking centre point, I really didn't realize just how pretty, delicate and intricate she was, and those gorgeous little Bitty Blooms finish off today's inspiration beautifully. So I'll now send love and best wishes and hope you soon feel so much better soon xxx
Stunning card. Hope you feel better soon.
Luv

Good morning Sue,
Sorry to hear you're poorly, I hope you're soon feeling better, there are some nasty bugs around.
I love today's card, the shades of blue are very pretty and the glitter border helps frame the design beautifully. X
Get well soon Sue, I’m sure Julia will do you proud on C&C. This is a pretty, gentle card today & that background just has so many uses, I love to paper piece so just up my street! Thank you Sue.
Put your feet up & take it easy! I may be missing some days as I am away for a while but will drop in when I can.
Get well soon Sue. Gorgeous card xx Hazel
Morning Sue. Sorry to hear that you will not be able to do the shows today and I hope you will be feeling much better soon. Love today's card, what a good idea to drop different coloured squares back into the background. Great effect without being too fiddly.

Hello Sue sorry to hear you're unwell, hope it soon clears up.
Beautiful card and really calm pretty colours xx
Hello Sue and all
Todays card is just lovely, those beautiful blues on the Alice die, I think that the grid she creates is just so handy. The centrepiece is pretty too and those little blue flowers to top it off.
I hope you are feeling 100% again very soon, haven’t tried to find shows on C & C yet, I will look to see if they are available through a website or app like hochanda was so that I can catch up on your fabulous demos
Hugs

Good Morning Sue. I agree with Steph for today's card. Calming..... the best way to describe this background but as you all know by now...anything blue...especially with lace...gets my full attention...Beautiful card Sue.
Sue it sounds like you have what my hubby and I have had...it's certainly no fun. I think we are at the same stage.... only just feeling better. Keep it up Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds. 😊
Beautiful card again today.

Good morning Sue and so sorry that it's not good for you.
I think your body is telling you that you need a rest so make the most of it.
Your card for today is beautiful and I do so love your almost signature colours. I believe I must have missed some important information as I don't get to see C&C very often and now wonder if that is where the recent list of winners is to be found.
All for now.

Hi Sue

Hello Sue
As others have mentioned this is a very calm and soothing card. Must be those delicate shades of blue.
I love the Alice die, really like the samples Julia is bringing to us a I write this!
I have had some sort of “bug”this week so can sympathise with you.
Get well soon, Sue.

Good morning Sue this is a stunning card I love it. Those dies are gorgeous and I like the colours you have used. Have a great week. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue - so very sorry to hear you are not well enough to do the shows and hope you will be feeling much better very soon. I'm recording the shows - had a quick peep and the samples look fantastic. Today's card is just beautiful and I love all the blue colours. Think I will be treating myself to some more of your wonderful dies. Sending my very best wishes to you

Hi Sue, I also follow Julia's blog and she said a couple of days a go that you were under the weather. Hoping it clears soon. Yet another great card. WakeyL
Good morning Sue,
Sorry to hear you are unwell, I am sitting watching Julia just now doing a great job with your demonstrations. Beautiful card & loving all the blue shades.Yvonne xx
A simple yet beautiful card that would cover any occasion. Happy Birthday, New Baby Boy and on and on depending on what is stamped in the centre, what I call a go to card. Make it up but leave the sentiment blank and you can just stamp the appropriate sentiment and have it in the post 10 minutes later, ideal for emergencies.
So sorry you are not feeling well, of course Julia will do a sterling job and we never tire of watching her, but you will be missed Sue. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Hugs Helen xxx
Hi Sue, hope you get better soon. Love the card with the blues and the little diddy flowers, so pretty. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Get well soon Sue. Xxx
Morning Sue, do hope you feel better soon, I am sure Julia will do a good job for you but will miss watching you. Lovely card. Love Jean xxx
Morning Sue, lovely background with all of those shades of blue squares. A useful card for many occasions.
Hope you're feeling better today. I think that you've probably been working too hard and it's lowered your immune system.
Hugs xx Pauline
Hi Sue
Such a shame you will not be demoing but I hope you feel better very soon.
A beautiful card, love all the shades of blue and the sparkle and the prettiness of that centre die. Just lovely.
Love Helen xxx

Love and hugs to everyone

Gorgeous card and die Sue.Hope you soon feel better.xx
So sorry to hear you are not well Sue, this cough and cold virus has been awful this year, my hubby and I have had it for over three weeks, so I know how you feel. This card is just amazing, love the background.....I do not watch C&C on principal, so really do miss you all, never know why the change.....but hey ho, life goes on....luv Ursula xx
Morning Sue
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. The card is beautiful with such lovely colours of blue.
Take care of yourself and get better soon.

Hi Sue, a lovely card in beautiful shades of blue. Alice is, of course, fantastic and so much amazing detail in Camilla is terrific. With a change of sentiment it would be suitable for many different occasions.
Happy that you are improving but don't rush back to work, this particular virus seems to linger far longer than you expect. I will catch up with Julia's first show shortly when I am doing some ironing but hopefully will see the others in real time.
Even though it is wet and chilly across most of the country I hope everyone still manages to enjoy their May Day holiday.
Frances
So sorry to hear you are unwell Sue but hope you feel a bit better today. Thoroughly enjoyed Julia's show and the makes from this die particularly and the variations that can be achieved xx
Gorgeous card I love all of the blues
I hope the cold clears up soon They do seem to be hanging about these days
A beautiful card Sue. Sorry to hear you have the cold bug and hope you will soon be feeling a lot better. Take care An£ rest.
Hi Sue,
Alice is wonderful, and have only watched your 0900 hrs show this morning, have recorded the rest. I love your samples. And have spotted some of Beverly's creations. And has the fabulous multicoloured Alice done by America ?
You look after yourself, it's the weather for drinking a nice hot toddy............ at night...
And your specky sheets are AMAZING!!!!!
Hugs, Rose
Lovely card Sue, love the different shades of blue that you used for paper piecing. The Alice die is framed wonderfully.
Another gorgeous post and love the shades of blue used.
HI Sue, beautiful card. I hope you feel better soon.
Hugs, Judy Hollers from North Carolina
Fabulous card. Glad to hear that you’re slowly getting better. X
So sorry you’re not on top form Sue, but Julia has done you proud. I love this card and Alice is definitely my favourite die, so versatile. Thank you, take care xxx
So soft shades of blue!Beautiful card. I agree with everybody who mentioned Calming is the best way to describe this background, and even the card.
Hope you'll feel better soon, Sue. Take care.

The Camilia die is beautiful, love the ombre look on the card.
Love the squares in gradient of blue shades, reminds me of swatches we made in our Interior decoration class.
Very nice card!
