Hi bloggers! Day five and the final day of the Spring Die Blog Launch. It is the Finishing Touches range today, an ever popular category within the die line. First up is the new Foldover Flowers. I love this die, it is another one that doesn't look like much but when you see what it can do, you will be amazed! I specifically designed it to be used with felt, but you can also use paper and lightweight card to make the flowers as well. Cut it, fold it over and glue the edges, then roll for the perfect felt flower. You can see just look how lovely it comes out on the sample shown here. It comes in two sizes (the largest one is shown here) for true versatility. The new Maidenhair Fern die provides a lovely detail to your floral elements. I am sure it will be a real go to die in your crafty arsenal. Leave me a comment to be included in the drawing and join me back here at noon for the next blog post. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, I love the finishing touches die sets, especially the maidenhair fern. I was looking for a die to replace the maidenhair fern punch that I've had for years and curse it every time I use it as it doesn't work that well!! Now I will be able to cut maidenhair ferns without any hassle at all, thank you soooo much for this one.
This will be the first one I will be getting from the range, can't wait.
Craftihappiness to everyone and lots of love from Macky.
Morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
I saw this die on a website and was really curious as to what it would create, now I know and I am super impressed. I have never worked with felt before and it would be really cool if you could do a video demo of the technique.
I love this stunning peach delight , it has really brightened up a truly miserable morning in Central Scotland-what happened to Spring I wonder!?!!
Hope you're enjoying the sunshine across the pond, do show some piccies on your return,
Roll on midday I say!

Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
Thank you Sue for today's moment of beauty and the chance for those of us that challenged in making these kind of Pom Pom dahlias or chrysanthemums have more of a chance in getting them to turn out right.
From a miserable and very windy Glenochil I send you all hugs
Love and crafty hugs

I love making felt flowers so this die will definitely help and the foliage die looks wonderful xxx
Hi Sue, this die is fab, I am just thinking of all that snipping with the scissors that I wont have to do anymore. You are a very clever lady. Thank you. Ann
I have never made felt flowers, but may have to get this die and give it a go, I just love the look it gives.

Hi Sue. I have been looking at the Foldover Flower dies since the beginning of your Spring Launch. Now I have seen them on a card I have put them right at the top of my wish list !! I think these dies, although simple looking, when made up look absoluetly gorgeous Sue !! Especially using some felt that I already have. What a pretty flower !! Perfect to add to my flower die stash !! ( I am a bit obsessed with flower dies !! ) I just can't get enough of them. Your new Maidenhair Fern Dies look great to. They are both lovely, lovely dies. Your card is soooo lovely to. I love all the dies that you have used on this card. Beautiful. Sending lots of levels ve to you and your family today Sue love from Tres x x x
Sending love to everyone today from Tres x x x
Love the Pom pom die, it makes a wonderful embellishment on your pretty card. I am really enjoying this launch.
Tooth Fairy Jo.
Hi Sue another stunning card and what a useful collection of dies. I haven't tried a felt flower yet, have the felt but not the bravery to try it! The fern is lovely too. Oh dear, perhaps if we don't eat for a week I could buy the dies! Lol. Enjoy your day with your mum. Love Diane G xxxx
Hi Sue, another beautiful card.
Hi Sue, these flowers look awesome would love to have a go working with this die lol Gill P G xx
I bought this one, tried it last night, works so well, flowers look great. Lovely card Sue. Angela (UK)
What a great idea. You can never have too many flowers I think!
I just love the fern. I want that one! Probably my next purchase :)
This die will make perfect flowers every time and the fern is already sitting in my stash ready to roll.
Happy days,
Lesley
Hi Sue
Lovely idea with the roll up flowers but my favourite is the fern die. I can see so many possibilities for both.
Beautiful card and I love the peach colour. x
Hi Sue
Well done with these dies especially the flower one. It makes our flower making a little easier.
Denise (mini) x
Hi Sue, pretty card an a lovely new flower die, will save all that folding over gluing down then cutting to the tape line, well done I think this is a great new die. Take Care Melody xxxXxxx
Love the new dies Sue I wish I could afford them all.

Hi Sue
I Absolutely love your flower die it looks stunning on your card and i love the peach
Take care

Hi Sue
2 great sets, having 2 sizes of each definitely adds value. I especially love the fern, can see it dotted with stick on gems or CE glue. It looks like the rose folder was made to go with the dies. It's a folder that has grown on me a lot.
Finally brought my ringlet striplet :-)
It's even wet in Suffolk today, so Mr W is taking me to the DIY store 3 miles away for me to buy a few bits I need. They have a nice little coffee shop so we'll stop for a drink too.

Hi Sue, a lovely card in peach and such a pretty flower shape! Have a lovely day everyone! Hugs, Karen x
Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Love the flower die and the fern is gorgeous too. I love the peach, it's such a calming colour and the card is gorgeous! xx Love Karen xx
Very stunning card, and two more wonderful dies!!! Love the colors in the card!!!
Beautiful card and love that peach color. The dies are just as lovely
This die is wonderful! Thank you so much for bringing it to us to make our felt flower making easier.
Good morning Sue, when I first saw this die on line, I wasn't sure what it was at first. Then I realized it was to make your beautiful felt flowers. Of course, didn't notice the flower on the packaging until I had it figured out. Great idea and will make it much easier to recreate those beautiful flowers.
think there will be a million and one uses for these dies. beautiful xx
Love the butterfly and flowers xxx
Well I'm struggling to get a decent flower from these folder dies. What am I doing wrong? Using paper.
Jan x
BeUtiful flower and leaves! The card is gorgeous!!!
You had me confused for a while until I really looked at the picture. Clever!
Hi Sue
Stunning flower, love this die too
Love Marion x
I am not a fan of the felt flowers but I do love paper ones. This odd lloking little die is one of mymust haves. Beautiful card.
The flower die will be a real time saver. Your flower looks great. Love the fern die too.
I have made the felt flowers before after watching one of your tutorials, they will look so much better when all of the cuts are uniform, they ended up 50% wider at the end as I got bored of it! I actually showed my students how to make them on Friday and they loved it.
Amazing dies. Just beautiful.
Sarah from Australia
I really like your felt flowers and now your dies will make the process of getting a flower more uniform possible. I especially like the Maidenhair fern dies. This fern is a favorite of mine.
Another stunning card today Sue, you have been working very hard on the designing and you have done yourself proud again.
The die for making the flower is right at the top of my list, I could never make it without the die.
can't wait to see the next one.
Hi Sue,
Lovely card. Loving the flower and fern dies. Just need a lottery win to get the whole Spring collection!

Hi Sue and everyone.
Good new dies, like the pompom one but my like most is the Maidenhair Fern, b.day end of May I wonder....
Beautiful card !
Have a nice crafting day
Hugs Maria x
Such lovely finishing touch, well done Sue.
The dies are a very excellent addition to the finishing touches line, I am very partial to the fern die, it is sure to enhance any flower embellishment that is added to a card.
Love the foldover die, will save a lot of time snipping, more time for creating !! Thanks Sue.
Karen H x
I really must have a go at these flowers, they are gorgeous, as always Sandra
Don't think you can ever have too many leaves as finishing touches and these new ones are so dainty, love them. Have often tried making these fold over flowers and some how they never manage to look as good as the ones you make Sue so this is a fantastic idea and will save time too. Eridony
Love the flower and the fact you have done it in two sizes as well. You are so actively keeping up the good work.

I love the flower! Thanks for the die to make it easier!
I love that fold over flower - it makes it a nice smooth finish.
So beautiful, the dies are gorgeous.
Hi Sue
Lovely idea with the flower die, beautiful card.
Big Hugs to all :-)

I do like your flower it reminds me of one of those pom-pom Chrysanthemums. I love the fern fronds more though - very delicate and so useful.
Hi Sue, such a pretty card, love the colours used. Dies are great Maidenhead fern is so delicate and the flower head what can I say, amazing. Julie Noyce
Hi Sue, typical bank holiday weather. Good job we have some more lovely dies to look at. I especially like the Maidenhead Fern. xx
Louise (Anatalise's Atelier)
Another beautiful card in lovely colourway. I really like that fold over flower die!
Looking at the die who would realise it would turn into such a lovely flower. Love the fern.
More lovely dies Sue, the card is so pretty.
I love the colour.

Absolutely beautiful!
How clever, one of those you need to see assembled to appreciate I think.
A card in a brilliant and just beautiful colour combination. I must admit that I was not sure what to make of the foldover flower die, but seeing the result the die would make a great addition to any crafter's die collection. x
Now I see what it does, I wasn't quite sure how it would look, so this card shows it so lovely. Really really adorable.
This looks quite fascinating.
Love the Maidenhair Ferns!! So delicate and pretty! TFS!
Theresa says
Hi again everyone x what a brilliant creative mind you have sue x when I saw the die in the packaging on a website I was desperately hoping you would show the results because I really couldn't work it out so thankyou x now where's that other piece of paper with that long list ?
Theresa w xxx
The maidenhair fern will definitely be a go to die - in competition with your delicate fronds. What a different flower too - you really are a genius with new designs!
These are beautiful and would enhance any card.
Love & Hugs

Hi Sue,

The flower die is very different, I love it.
The finishing touches collection are my favourite as I can always find one that does exactly what is says on the packet to complete a card. I think these are a must for any crafter
Wow Sue I would so love to possess the flower strip as the idea of folding it intrigues me. Love Sue xxx
Hi Sue
The Foldover Flower die is a lovely finishing touch to the card.

Hi Sue
I am rather late
today but have a friend staying so we were out all day and then out for dinner this evening. I have only just started to look at my messages.
I love the flowers and the fern, both are so pretty as is your gorgeous card. Our day started wet but the sun came out at lunchtime and we visited a lovely National Trust property about fifteen mikes from here. The views of the Surrey Hills from the house were fabulous basking in sunshine.
Hooe the sunshine is with you too!
