Hi bloggers! Teal and the
Adorning Squares... a match made in heaven! I couldn't stop cutting these, they are just so pretty. I cut four of them out of
teal card using the largest four dies in the set to give me a lacy decorative frame. I offset two of them and glued them in place together, then I did the other two exactly the same way. Then I glued them together and offset them again. This allowed me to get the points relatively even this way. I added mounting foam to the back for dimension. Next I stamped my sentiment and used the smaller dies in the set to emboss the area around the sentiment. I mounted the
Adorning Squares over my sentiment and what was originally a square inside shape, now looks like a circular shape due to the offsetting of all the dies. I cut a larger piece of
coconut white card for them to set upon and decided the corners needed something. I had some of the left over fall away pieces from the dies and started to play with them. I found that they made a nice corner element when pieced together so I used them in all four corners and glued them in place with some
Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue. I added
flat back pearls to the corners and also to the
Adorning Squares as accents. I matted it with a layer of teal card then added a double white mat with a pierced inner mat to complete the card. Finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

My favourite so far this year, teal and a square card whats not to like.
Fab-u-lous! Great use of the dies and leftovers and I love the way you have scored the white background it gives it a nice detail and offsetts the squares yet again! I really love the Teal card and this one is a definite winner.

Good morning Sue
Like Margaret I too would make all my cards in teal lol. The adorning square is a very pretty die and I think it's a 'must have'. I love today's card it is beautiful with clever use of the waste, another thing I like doing since following your blog.

Donna Jones
Pretty card, and I love how you used the 'waste' to make the corner decorations!
Hi Sue,
what a stunning card - hadn't thought of using the dies in that way (but sure will do so now!).
You know what they say "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"!
And of course, teal and white is always a winner in my book. (As is a beautiful wine red and white)
Have a brilliant day.......
Hugs, Rose
GM Sue - what is it about that teal? its just sooooooo good! Good tip about how to assemble the focal element to get it even - it looks perfect to me - thanks

Hi Sue. What a stunning card. It is beautiful. Think it is in my top 3! How could you not love it? And using the waste to make such pretty corners is brilliant. Hope you are starting to feel the benefit of being with your Mom now Sue and that you are managing to get to relax. Take care.
A lovely card, Sue....so imaginative. I would never have thought of using the dies layered up like this.

Good Morning Sue. LOve, Love, Love it.Beautiful teal card and using left overs for corners that I'd probably have binned - sheer genius.
Love Val in Spain xxx
morning Sue
TEAL to start a day is fantastic!!
So I really love the colour scheme for today's gift and it's amazing how you can turn a square into a circle. I never know what to do with the little cut outs that are left - although I always keep them as it is a shame to throw them away - so now I must remember to use them in such things as corners.
Janet x
gorgeous Sue, love the teal and the die is a must have
Really gorgeous card today, love the strong colour
Hi Sue, Gorgeous card. The intricate die cuts layer perfectly & the colour is fabulous.
Very pretty with the four diecuts making a big star! . Love the little corner flourishes. Maddy x
Morning Sue, a stunning card love
the teal not used it very much but
must try it with this design it looks
really good with these dies.
Nancyd xx
Dear Sue,
What an amazing and beautiful card this is, just love the adorning square dies (and have been playing with mine since I got the replacement set : D ) and in teal card my favourite too! You've really made my day start brilliantly with this great card.
I wondered where you got the beautiful flourishes from as I didn't recognise them as a die I knew then saw you'd used the left over cut pieces from the squares how beautiful they are put together I do use mine but not as well as this I must try this out.
Thank you for all your inspiration and hard crafting on our behalf,
Best wishes from Katie-Louise
Hi Sue
Beautiful! Love the colours and the way you've used the dies. You are so clever!

The dies look great the way you have used them, and love the teal.

This one has the WOW factor! Love it.
Hugs Sue x
Wow, this is stunning Sue and in my favourite colour teal. Think I will be having a go with this one. Hugs Christine H xx
Hi Sue
I did this design with just two of the dies, just like the one in the charity auction. using four plus the leftovers takes this to another level. funily enough I picked out all the leftovers over my bin. My friend said you could use these to decorate a card. So I picked them all out. now I know how to use them in corners. we not only learn different ways to use the dies, but also the scraps. If you could call them that. hope your still mostly in holiday mode. You deserve it.
What a lovely and intricate die this is. Looks lovley all layerd up. I do like that teal card stock.
Gorgeous, stunning, beautiful . . . Absolutely fabulous card in composition and colour. X
Morning Sue what beautifhl card i love teal card. I like how you have used these dies they are so versatile. Take care xxx
Debs A
Hi Sue
Gorgeous gorgeous card one of my favourite dies "adorning" and teal my favourite colour. How clever are you using four die cuts I have used 2 and offset them they look like a star but 4 makes a circle fabulous I have a little box of the cut out bits I was going to use them to make a pretty border but I will now make them into corners thanks for thatxx
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Hi Sue
Yet another stunning card
Elaine H X
Morning Sue, love what you have done with the dies, and the teal card is gorgeous. Take care, Jess x
Hi Sue. Not long ago I decided to buy some of your lovely teal card and as I hadn't time to fetch it, my supplier said she would post it to me. She said she only had 4 left so I ordered all 4, thinking it would tide me over. Guess what, what i thought was 4 sheets turned out to be 4 packs so now I have a drawer full. Good job I love it! So lovely to see your card today. SueL
Hi Sue
Beautiful card, the colour is lovely and it looks almost like hand made lace.
