My papercraft and card making projects

taking a break

I might take a break from posting photos of my cards for a while, but I will continue to make them.

It has bothered me that comments have been left that I am making exact copies of Sue Wilson's cards and that it could 'infringe copyright'.

As I always make it clear in every post I publish, I  duplicate Sue's designs as they are so beautiful and I really enjoy the process of following instructions, but I am not good at designing myself.  I donate all of my cards to charity at a great personal expense, and over years Sue's designs have helped achieve a huge amount of income [£thousands] for my charity of which I am very grateful.

I do not understand why people have to comment in such negative ways.  I thought the point of the crafting community was to be encouraging and supportive.  personally I would never leave a negative comment to anyone -- I keep my thoughts to myself!

Service may be resumed when I've cooled down a bit lol!!

thanks

 
This card was demo'd by Sue Wilson on her recent tv appearance and she blogged it with full instructions recently.
 
I just love the use of vellum over the background to soften the look.
 
The stamped focal image is an absolute perfect fit for the matching die.  I would not have thought about colouring over the glittered surface ... it works really well.

This is my first card using Sue Wilson's latest die releases.
 
She gave us instructions on how to make it recently in her blog.

Sue Wilson is soooo darn clever!! 
 
This design she used her Gemini die as a frame.
 
I have used custard coloured  and white card for this.

just for you

 
A lovely clean white and lilac card from Sue Wilson.
I used white pearl card behind the base.
 
The camellia flowers are lovely and very easy to make.
 
I can't wait for Sue's new die collection - I have a couple already ordered!

just for you

 
A lovely Sue Wilson design using her new dies, lovely embossing folder and texture paste through a mask for the spotty background.
 
I don't have any suitable glitter texture paste but I just bought the clear one so I thought I would use that.
