My papercraft and card making projects

thanks

 
This striking design was shown to us by Sue Wilson to showcase her new dies.
 
This is using the St Lucia from Caribbean collection and the Gemini-Perseus.
 
I used just Sue's picture to work out how to make this - there are no instructions, but I am getting used to working Sue's wonderful techniques

thank you

 
This is my version of a Sue Wilson design
 
I wanted to use the new sentiment die so incorporated it instead of a stamped sentiment. It is larger than Sue's original but I think it kinda works.
 
I used milk and gold coloured card.
 
I have just treated myself to some of the Creative Expressions stick pin elements that Sue has introduced and made a coupe already so I hope to add them to some cards very soon!

thinking of you

 
This Sue Wilson design is using her new Classic Adorned Square Noble die.
 
The debossing on the frame is delicious.
 
The background has gilding flakes on it and I also used the gilding flakes for the sentiment using flake and glitter glue to stamp with.

you're wonderful

 
 Sue Wilson demonstrated how to make this card on one of her video blog posts.
 
The stamp used on the focal element is gorgeous.  I used the new latex blending sponges to shade it with ... highly recommended!!
 
I have just ordered some of Sue's newly released Stick Pin elements to make custom stick pins so can't wait to try out some of them soon!  I don't use them very often as I am slightly concerned of selling them in the charity shop, but thinking about it, if I use my hot glue gun to securely adhere them I am sure they will be fine!

wonderful day

 
This is one of those Sue Wilson designs that just sang out to me!
 
I love all the elements; the ivy, the edge, the colour
 
The recent release of new Creative Expressions embellishments is just stunning.  The pearl corners on this card are some of them.  I couldn't wait to get my hands on them!

I'm back with Best Wishes!

 
This is my version of a Sue Wilson design which she demonstrates as a video on Creative Expressions YouTube channel.
 
Ohh MYY!!  These new dies in Sue's collection are just incredible!!
This card uses both of her new weaving dies, which are such a clever idea and great fun to do.
 
There is also the new banner die for sentiments which is perfect, the swirls accent and the new camellia flower, all framed with the exceptional majestic square. 
I was so delighted to win one of Sue's draws and get one of the majestic die sets!!!

I want to thank Sue Wilson again for personally confirming to me that she is totally happy with me, or anyone, replicating her designs which she has also stated recently on her tv appearances.
Thank you Sue -- your support for me and my charity is just wonderful.  You have helped me raise £thousands with the sale of my cards in my chosen charity's shop.
