A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! I hope you enjoyed the blog launch for the past week or so! Back to a video card today (and only one post, sorry!) It's a little layering with the Anna die in today's video, enjoy!
The finished dimensions are 5 1/2" x 7 3.4" in size. All for now Sue x
Hi Sue Love those colours. They are so pretty. Anna is such a star. I do have a few of your Layering dies but Anna is not one of them. I do think she might need to come and join the other gang members I have! My best friend is getting married next Saturday so Wedding Outfit Shopping is my task for the day. Wish me luck - I really do not like shopping unless it is craft related! Happy Saturday everyone Crafty hugs PP Yvonne x
WOW Sue how wonderful to see the final post striking up over 100 comments - Yeah Muriel back to normal, let's watch the comment numbers drop like a rock as it always does after the launch of a new collection ! How sad is that, if Sue had that many every day give or take a few numbers this blog would soon reach TOP SPOT again so if you can find the time to comment 4 times a day during the launch then why not once a day ? Such a pretty sample this morning Sue will try to watch your tutorial when I can depending on countryside reception. Enjoy your day whatever you're doing xxx
Good morning Sue Your launch was brilliant and there wasn’t a die I didn’t ‘need’ lol! Today’s card is stunning I will watch the video later thanks for sharing. Hugs x Heather T
Hello Sue, been a great launch as always and no doubt there will be more ideas and inspiration to see as the festive season really approaches. It creeps up quickly ! x
Loved the launch sue got to sort out which dies to spend my birthday money on oh dear !!!!!!s beauty today sue love the colours thank you sue love always xxxxxxxx June Horrocks xxxxxxxxxx
Hello Sue Lovely card and colours will watch the video later. I have really enjoyed your latest collection. To be able to use them all year long is such a bonus for someone like me who only crafts for pleasure. Yvonne good luck with the shopping.
Thank you for a wonderful Christmas launch collection, so many wonderful dies to choose from. Well done. Back to today and a lovely card and die, Sue xx Hazel
Good morning Sue, Thank you for the great video tutorial. Anna is a beautiful die and your card is so striking. I love your triple layered collection. X
Hi Sue What a great launch that was and thank you for all your hard work and wonderful samples you shared with us. Now the hard time to choose which dies I need and which dies want. Today,s card is beautiful and i love the colours you have chosen. Thank you once again. Jan x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, I do so love the 3d layering dies I will be watching the video later, love the colours you have chosen to sample this one .
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue and all. What a fantastic card to start the day and I have saved her in Birthdays and in Sue Wilson. I don't do Anniversary cards for many reasons but didn't want to lose easy access to Anna. I love the beautiful colours you have chosen and the video is an unexpected bonus. You really do make everything look so easy and I think I may buy Anna when I'm taken on my next trip to my favourite craft store. Hugs to all. Marie P.
Good morning everyone. I love cards like this, my old Wellington die is one that comes out time and again for this sort of technique, but loving the Anna die too as the triple effect gives the idea a whole new look. It is going to seem odd today with only this one post there is nothing left to look forward too.
Good Morning Sue. Awwww only the one post today....see how you have spoiled us Sue lol. Today's card is another's fabulous sample using lovely colours and techniques. Thankyou again Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Beautiful card and in my favourite colours I loved the launch I do tend to buy Christmas dies more than anything else because that’s when I make the most cards for friends and family and I have a few of them on my Need List Karenlotty
Good Morning Sue and all What a stunning card this morning and the colours are beautiful . More look on the card more details you spot from the background to sentiment. Thank you for creating the video which I know is a lot of hard work. Thank you for a fantastic launch and loved every day. Wendy
Hi Sue- this is a beautiful card, lovely colours and I will be watching your video later this morning. Thank you again for your amazing Christmas launch. Sending best wishes YvonneMayxx
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card Sue x Anna looks lovely and how you have used her as the background too is ingenious x I always forget you can use your dies this way ! Thankyou for another amazing launch Sue x I thoroughly enjoyed opening every post on your blog , it was like Christmas morning every time receiving another wonderful surprise x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Very pretty card. I do like the design. I will have to catch up with the video next week after my Herefordshire sojourn so I don’t have to disturb my hosts.
Hi Sue Anna makes such a beautiful card all by herself and she is definitely on my wish list. Looking forward to seeing lots more of your Christmas cards in the coming weeks and months, thoroughly enjoyed your festive launch.
Hi Sue. Back to normal today! I do like this die and you have shown why on this card. It makes a really lovely centrepiece enhanced by the background made with the same die. This is such a great idea as I think it adds detail without overcrowding the whole esign.
Morning Sue, arrived back from 4 soggy wet days in Northumberland. However, it didn't stop me from enjoying your wonderful dies and sample cards. What a spectacular launch this has been and so many dies which we can use all year round. Great value for money when like many others, we are just making for family and friends. Anna looks beautiful especially in the background too. I agree with Stephanie. It really doesn't take long to add a daily comment for Sue, as she works her socks off to inspire and teach us. Where would we be without her? Hugs xx Pauline from Teesside
I so enjoyed your launch and all the most beautiful samples you have shown us. Really excelled yourself with the beautiful dies again, we are spoilt for choice....beautiful video today showcasing the Anna die, so so pretty....thank you Sue....luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, a beautiful card and all from one die set (excluding the sentiment) how clever is that! Anna is lovely as both a background and focal point and I love the colours. On the video you make it all look so easy, I know it would take me an awful lot longer even without the matting and layering :-)
I hadn’t thought of using the Anna die on an oblong card - mine so far have all been square. But I like this configuration very much and shall have a go. The card is absolutely gorgeous! Doreen R
I think this Anna die is my favorite layering die. Love how you designed this card today. Thanks for the great video. My two sets of Lustre Polishes came yesterday afternoon that I ordered from HSN. Looking forward to using them.
Hello Sue What a gorgeous card and the colours are stunning! I love how you have used the die in the background. I really enjoyed seeing all the new dies and your lovely samples. So much preparation work must go in to new releases so I hope you are now finding time to relax a little! It is far too early for me,personally, to think about Christmas Cards but rest assured, when the time comes, there will be some dies from this release amongst them!! Best Wishes Lesley S x West Sussex
Wonderful use of Anna who I am lucky to own so this card is a possible for me. The Christmas release was better than ever and even though I have a lot of Christmas dies there are still a lot I want of this year's. I am going to start on Christmas cards early this year as I am getting a new puppy so card making might be a slow process. Celebrate another winning launch, Stephanie K
Really enjoyed every post of the launch but sadly we have to go back to normal.On the bright side, for today's card you've used one of my favorite die sets-beautiful Anna. I'm delighted with your use of Anna, even I am not sure about the colours you have used for a anniversary card, but that is just personal taste. It is still a very beautiful design.
I love this die. I actually liked the overlay when cutting the die twice! A very simple yet effective card and def one in my inspiration file! Thanks sue.lisa xx
