Today's card is A 8 x 8 white blank card embossed with Creative expressions
Pin Point Checkboard folder designed by Sue Wilson.I cut two of the middle die in the
Calabria set in black card i cut one of them in half.I then cut a border & placed across the card
& glued the two halves either side. Cut several Camella flower's complete petals arranged them in top corner with black flat back gem's & two Curled vine's.added two more flower's top & bottom of border & put tiny flower's on border with small pearl's. Added a Itty Bitty bow on some black Tulle
& black pearl in middle at bottom corner.
In the middle of the card i put the second Calabria die cut,stamped my sentiment cut it out with
the Scandinavian Stockholm third die in the set. Glued it on top added a small flower.
With some close up pictures.
Thank you all for looking in. Lynda. xx
Lynda, no comments on your wondeful card. Using those lovely dies. I think everyone has been to busy watching our Sue? I only watched the first show and I got so out off with Nigel and his chatter. Then Gillian and I were working on their invites and then tea to see to so never got a chance to watch anymore, it's a pity Sue wasnt showing her new dies, it looks like we will have to wait a week or two for that. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteThank you Hazel for your kind comments
DeleteI was the same I only watched first show too much chat with the presenters I have recorded them so will run them on. Sue is back in a couple of weeks.
How's the invites going Stripplet queen glad Gillian is giving you a hand,will you be getting the new one's Hazel.
Take care Hug's Lynda xx
The invites, all the bits are cut. But I need to go visit Adrian at the craft shop and get him to cut my A3 card down for me. I had enough cut but with all that went on at work I messed 5 up when I was embossing, but once I get those 5 we will only have to add the inserts and get the boxes lined with the tissue, she will hand deliver the ones she can. They will have ribbon tried round them, the ones to be posted are to have a a fancy die cut where the address will be written on. Tonight iam making the evening invites u, 50 to begin with so 50 striplets to cut, have cut 15 today. The invites are looking lovely even if I say it myself. Did you enjoy all those Harry cuddles??? Hazel x

Hug's Lynda xx
Oh boy! Lynda what a wonderful card so very elegant with a real touch of class I love it and your flowers are so beautiful too. I have said it before and will again I love how you complete the inside of your cards.
ReplyDeleteYes I have watched Sue's shows but oh those presenters I do so wish they would just shut up you would think it was them who are the star of the show we don't what to know about them, I found myself telling them to shut up.
I really think it would be so much better if Sue did the shows herself and I'm sure they would sell more it is the demo's people want to see and hear about. At lest there will be one less when DB goes what wonderful news! Sorry Lynda rant over.
Are you seeing your little prince charming this weekend if so give him a big hug from me please.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
With love
Margaret xx
Good morning Margaret,
DeleteThank you so much again for your lovely words on your comment.
I only got chance to watch a little of Sue shows,as we visited some friends yesterday.
I know what you meen about the presenters they never stop too take a breath in between there waffling.I didn't realise that Sue wasn't aloud to mention her blog any more,what harm dose it do. Is DB leaving C & C for good then.
Perhaps she is having trouble with her new fiancée. Apparently he has tried to get a visa three times & been refused,so maybe that's why he want to marry her too get into the country. I wonder if Sue's shows will be cancelled if she had sell outs yesterday.
It would be great if they would just let her demonstrate by herself.
Thank you again Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda, you certainly have the knack of using Sue's dies in a different way, your flowers are so pretty too!
ReplyDeleteI have watched & recorded the shows, the only one that was bearable was the second one with Dave, the consummate professional, as always!
So few of them have that perfect balance of enough chat and letting guests demo!
Shows were virtually sell outs so not sure what will happen tomorrow, I hope they don't scrub the shows!
Look forward to seeing your next creation lovely,
Hugs
Sandra xxxxx
Hi Sandra,
DeleteThank you so much, didn't realy see any of The shows but have recorded them.yes hope they haven't cancelled tomorrow. Wouldn't it be wonderfull if they just let Sue demonstrate by her self if she has a sell out instead of cancelling all tomorrow show's.
Congratulations on winning a Sue card Sandra.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Have Emailed you xxx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeletethird time lucky.I have lost my comment to somewhere out in space just when I going to post it grrrr! Your card is nice. Like the EF you have used and the camellia flowers are so sweet (especially the little ones) also the bitty bow with the tulle is nice too. Thanks to you I have started to do some cutting out but it's hard and not many be done over a few hours but it is a start. Hope you and family is fine,any visits from baby Harry ? My dream -it was Sandra who mention her knickers going out for the dinner with the family and I dreamt the got bigger and bigger until.......tihi what a silly dream. Been watching our Sue all day and also have her recorded. Can't be much left to sell, she did well today just wish the presenters could give her the chance to show us demos and not so interfering all the time. The was not the new dies I expected dho on the show but still great to see how they worked together. I like the Noble set too and one or two striplet but will wait to AP and see them proper before buying any, they are quite costly on CxC so I like to shop around a bit.Last I bought some from Craft World but you have to spend £ 25 for free shipping. Where do you usually get yours from ? Honest now, how many did you buy this time ? tihi Called my mamma today and she is not good so just spoke to my dad.I hate the big C with a vengeance, so many who have it, enough of that..... Will make myself a coffee and watch some D.A. now so you have a continued nice weekend and I see you soon, many Hugs to you and the family, Maria xx.
Hi Maria,
DeleteThank you so much for your lovely comments.
I haven't seen any of Sue's shows as we went out visiting. Today same we are going Lisa's ( daughter ) for a lovely roast dinner be nice to see my grandson Joseph too.
On way home we are popping into see my son & Yaaay cuddle's with Harry.
Hope your mamma isn't in too much pain Maria you are both in my thoughts & Preayers.
I haven't bought any of Sue's die's yet,I usually buy mine form Joanna Sheen free p&p after £10 which isn't too bad,or Icon that's free p&p,I will probably get some at Ally Pally if I'm not too tempted to get one now haha.

Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI'm very late tonight but it's been quite a day hasn't it! I didn't think I was havin the family tomorrow but they are coming after all! So had to set to work and prepare veggies etc! Mornings are not my best time - well early mornings!
Now you are looking at dies outside the box! I love your colours and the lovely sheen on your little flowers and bow which is set off beautifully with the tulle. I don't have the itty bitty bows but there are so many sets I'd love to have!
Been a really good day. I have made embellishments while I watched and also some air dry clay shapes for the children . They will make them too but of course they can't colour them straight away so I make some in advance - they colour those after they have made a few themselves which they colour the following week! Sorry what a long tale!
Thanks Lynda for sharing your lovely card. Hope the tinnitus is a bit easier.
Have a lovely Sunday,
Lots of love, Myra xxx
Hello Myra,thank you again for a lovely comment,didn't you hear that die scream when I cut it in half haha.
DeleteWe have just got home,went to Lisa's for lovely roast,she dose spoil me,won't let me help her.Joseph grandson was showing me all there photos from Florida,SOOO many.
Then popped into Darren's & had my Harry cuddles,he's gorgeous,Darren's sending me loads of pictures,he is going to get like a portfolio & start doing baby & toddler pictures for a little extra money. He takes a realy good photo.i might puts some on my blog.

From Sam xxx

Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteAh bellisima!! No I'm not Italian I'm Welsh but I'm running out of words to describe your cards! Lol! Love how you have put the half circles off set either side of the the slanted strip. It's gorgous and I do love a bit of added toulle. Haven't been able to watch any of Sue's
shows yet as we took Nikki shopping yesterday and we were late taking her back home....I'm feeling worn out today after the craft show on Friday and shopping with Nikki so a nice relaxing day is in order for me today watch Sue's hows. Hope youre having a good weekend and managed to get some cuddles from the gorgeous Harry.
Love and hugs Sheila xx
Good morning Sheila,
ReplyDeleteI must say your Italian is prefect :0)). Thank you for your kind comments.
Glad Nikki had a good shopping trip Saterday,but sorry your worn out did you manage to rest yesterday Sheila.
We went to my daughters for dinner yesterday,then on way home stopped off too see my son,& had Harry cuddles, he cried when he saw Terry & Sam said he has just started crying at men,she said he does it with her dad too,& they see him a lot as they don't live far from them,it was so unlike him.
Have a lovely week.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda. Sorry I didnt comment earlier, what with Sue's weekend show's and having to at least try to start the order Ive got, the weekend was a blur !
ReplyDeleteId never think of embossing the card blank, I always mat and layer my base with the last mat sometimes embossed, and sometimes plain. You do have a unique style of placing the dies, again, taking dies in a different direction.
Have a good Tuesday.
Lancashire Steph xx
Thank you Steph,
DeleteFunny enough,I thought I should have done some matting & layering on this one. Thank you for your kind comments,I do really appreciate them.My weekend was a bit like yours very hectic with visiting Saturday too friends,Sunday to Lisa my daughter for a lovely roast. Then on way home popped into Darren's my son & some Harry cuddles can't believe he is 7 months now,gorgeous smiley baby grandson,so didn't get to see Sue's programs but taped them all,& i can run all the waffling presenters on that's one good thing.
Hug's Lynda xx

Going through e-mail's and watching some crafting programmes. Have I seen right that DB were still on Sue's show ? I have not sett it yet it's so many presenters you can hear in one evening, I mean morning :-) The "followers" did do go down again, the vulchers . I so hope that the real followers of Sue's win the dies, of course I wouldn't say no to some tihi Rick is snoring so even if I vent to bed I'm not sure I would get any sleep. It's quite annoying when say that He didn't have a good night ,grrr welcome to my world , I meant going swimming around 8.30 am so I'm saying nighty night and we will see hows it goes, maybe I drowning Tihi no chance I can't even put my head.....
