Hi bloggers! As promised, here is a sample showing the
Mom die made into a Mum card. I started with a piece of dusty rose card (from my stash) and embossed it with one of our latest embossing folders called
Heart Strings. Using one of the edgers from the
Chantilly Lace Edger set, I cut the borders into a piece of
coconut white card and extended them both. I glued them to the top and bottom edges of the embossed card. I cut the Mom die out of white card and nipped away the top of the "O" to create the "U". There are some small flowers in the set that you can add at the top so that the letters all stay the same height, but since I was mounting it diagonally, I decided to leave them as is for this card. I cut a dusty rose backing piece for each of the letters and glued them together then added mounting foam to the back and mounted them diagonally across the card. For a floral accent, I cut the
Passion Flowers in white and added a backing piece that was cut with a sticky adhesive sheet attached to white card. I put the two pieces together then sprinkled
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive. I added small
3 mm white flatback pearls to the centres and seated the flowers in the corners. I added some leaves as accents around them. A simple white on white mat and layer completed the card. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.

A Very Good Morning Sue
I must say a very big thank you for the wonderful dies you created for your new launch.They were so beautiful and varied something to suit all tastes.Today's card is lovely the new flower die is right at the top of my list,I just love it.
So thank you once again Jan x
Loving the Passion flowers. Glad to see that the "O" can so easily become a "U"! Such a lovely colour, Sue.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today and thank you for sharing making the 'O' into a 'U' you would never know the difference. I also like what you have done with the Passion Flowers especially the tiny little pearls in the centre.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

I had to go back and look at the launch photo for the Mom/Mum die to see the flowers that you said were included to make the snipped U as big as the two Ms. It looks like you have to fussy-cut the backing piece for the big letters, but maybe it doesn't have to be all that fussy.
When is Mother's Day in the U.K.?
It has been exciting seeing the cards people have posted on Facebook using the new dies. Mine just arrived Thursday. I choose well, but why oh why didn't I choose more?
My two favorites, so glad I got them, are Passion Flower and Sophia. Might use them and Crux for Valentines!
Best,
Donita
Beautiful card Sue xx hazel
Morning Sue. This was one of the many new dies (and folders) that made it to my 'need' list. I think it's so important to have the option you've given us - although Mam is used a lot up North but I've covered that option with your Art Deco alpha dies ☺ you have given us two really pretty samples now but the close up photography shows its beauty in detail, what a stunning die this is, and it's a die that I know will be loved and appreciated by those that buy at market, along with your Easter collection if I'm not lucky enough to be drawn out next week then they will have to be the first dies I invest in. The past few days have been so exciting, 4 true my beautiful posts per day every post as wonderful as the previous post, you certainly shine in the design world and I think the sell outs prove that. CONGRATULATIONS Sue on another amazing launch xxx
Such a beautiful card xx
Sweet card! Debra x
Good Morning Sue
This is a lovely die so delicate and pretty our Mums would have loved it if they were still here wouldn't they? Yours must be so proud of what you have achieved. Beautiful.

Good morning Sue,
A very pretty card with beautiful details. Love the embossing folder and how you have managed to convert Mom to Mum, very clever.
My wishlist is soooo long I will have to try to prioritise it! X
Morning Sue, a beautiful Mum card. Thank you for the lovely ideas . Big hugs Jo xx
Good Morning Sue and all.. Beautiful card this morning and I love the colours . Its brilliant idea how you can snip into the letter and the passion flowers finish of the card.
Once again I really loved the launch , each card and new die was stunning and I know a lot of work had gone into it.

Good morning Sue. Beautiful card and yet again you've shown us how to make something different with your dies. I am in love with the passion flowers though and used here with the glitter and pearls is my idea of heaven!

Morning sue and everyone.
Thanks for showing us this other option. We in the Midlands usually do Mom, but it's great to have all the variations. Will you be doing the whole alphabet in this floral design. I hope you do. I said the same in the post on the previous card. Girls names would look fantastic done in this alphabet.thanks for all your hard word and wonderful ideas sue. You are really a very special gem to us all.
Have a good day everyone.

Hi Sue
A beautiful card especially as Mothers Day is on the horizon. I'm sure you're delighted with the fantastic response to your new dies, there are so many that I want not least that lovely lace edger you've used on today's card
Thinking of all our missing friends, I do wish you would all come back, and sending a special hug for Andrew
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Hi Sue - such a pretty card. Love the filigree, flowery letters. I hope you don’t mind me saying that I think doing a ‘proper’ U as well as the O (even tho I know it would have been a bit more expensive) would have been good. I’m not being critical at all, just my opinion. Xxx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card, the flowers are beautiful and they give us the chance to make a variety of different looks.
This launch has been an absolute delight, thanks for giving us the chance to win the dies and for your amazing creativity.
Heather
Beautiful card and very pretty die - love the versatility of it again... perfect for Mother's day....
Thanks for sharing your fabulous launch and providing loads of inspiration....
You mentioned in your die launch how the O could be snipped to make a U and this shows it beautifully.
I like the design of this card and love the flowers but my iPad makes the card colour very muddy and dark and, as I don't have any Dusky Pink in my stash to visualise it, I think I would use a lighter or more vivid colour.
Teresa
Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card with your beautiful lettering & who else but you would design the O to be able to also be cut into a U. You are one very creative Lady. Yvonne xx
Hi Sue
It's good to see this die used in the different way. Love those flowers and the new embossing folder.
Love Diane G xxx
Good morning Sue lovely card the flowery letters are so pretty & delicate. This must have been a bitter sweet die for you to design but I'm sure it made you think of some lovely times you spent with your Mum as it did for me Thank you Sue for all the effort you put into your designs & the inspiration you give to us all
Sending good wishes to all especially our missing friends
Hi Sue, Beautiful die and card love it. love Jean Z xxx
Hi Sue,
What a fabulous card, those letters really pop against that dusky pink background and I've fallen in love with that embossing folder and the Passion Flowers look gorgeous with a bit of bling in the centre...
Sad that the launch has now ended but at least we can look forward to some beautiful cards showcasing the new dies and inspiring us as always...
Izzy
Morning Sue, I was worried today would be a bit of an anti-climax after the fun of the launch but no you have given us a lovely card showing how good the Mom die looks snipped down to make Mum and it does not disappoint.
Love the embossing folder and the Passion Flowers.
Wendyx
Hi Sue,
I love the way the 'o' can be made into a 'u'.
The card is very pretty, although I would use a lighter pink background.
I think that the Passion Flowers are really lo9vely.

Hi Sue
A really lovely lacy card, perfect for Mothers Day.

Hi Sue, what a lovely card and perfect for all Mothers! WakeyL
What a great card, beautiful for Mother's day, love the lacy look and the embossing folder used.
Hi Sue, a gorgeous Mother's Day card. I love it from the beautiful Heart String embossed background to the flora mum and the passion flowers.
To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue, 🥇
Even Though I Don’t Ever Need This Particular Cutting Die,
When This Particular Die Was Launched One Lady Mentioned That It Was Great To Have The Mom Die,
Then Turn It Into Mum, She Mentioned That Where She Lives A Lot Of Moms Are Called Mam, On Looking
At This Cutting Die You Could Turn The O Into U Then Turn The U Upside Down Add In The Small Flowers Within
The Die Set Across The Centre of The U Turned Upside Down, Then You Have Mam Just A Thought!!!!! (It May Work?)
Sue, This Particular Cutting Die Set Just Shows How Versatile Your Cutting Dies Really Are They Can Be Transformed

Hi Sue, I do love the passion flower and the embossing folder can be used for a multitude of cards.
Just feeling a little envious of those people who can make a super card like this for 'mother's day'.
We've all had a great time for the past 9 days oohhhing and aaahhhing at your fabulous cards and dies, thank you so much. Now it's your time to relax but knowing you, as we all do:I bet you're busy with this year's Christmas cards. Have a great weekend. Hugs xx Pauline in South Africa

Gorgeous card and the flowers are so pretty!

Beautiful card Sue. Thank you.
Very pretty!
Beautiful and very clever use of the "U". Pretty background....
Jan D., FL
Hi Sue and everyone
A gorgeous card. I love the colour card you’ve used from your stash, and the embossing folder is lovely.
The flowers are the star of the show, just lovely.
Love the Mom die set too. If you were to being out a Dad die set in future, providing it wasn’t too masculine, the A could be used to make Mam for all the Northerners. It could be dressed up with the extra flowers from the Mom set to make it match with the M’s. Knowing you though Sue, you’ve probably already designed it!
Love Helen xxx
Hello Sue.
Lovely card using great dies and colours. A clever way to alter the dies for every ones use. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi Sue
Fabulous dies shown over the last 9 days. Thanks for sharing your inspiration as well.
Great card today. Great colour.
The samples using the latest launch dies really show them off beautifully. A beautiful card today. I love the dusky card. Great inspiration to get us off the starting blocks. Thank you Sue and Team.
A lovely card for the Mums, Mothers and variations thereof.
Diane in Wales x
Lovely card sample, ingenious the way you can cut the die and make it the same size as the other letters. The Passion flowers are on my list and they have jumped a couple of places having seen today’s sample. Also loving the embossing folder. Thank you Sue.
Beautiful card today Sue. Love the way you made the o into u I was wondering why you didn't include a u and a and y as I use mammy, my son calls me mumo, my daughter calls me mam. well done. love the embossing folder too. Cant find the two new embossing folders yet. Have to wait till Belfast when the craft show is on hopefully someone will have them. Arlyn
Fab card and love the pearls in the passion flowers centers!

I really enjoyed your launch Sue. A great idea to be able to make all the letters the same height. I wondered about this but should have known you would have a solution
Lovely card, especially with Mother’s Day not too far away.
Have enjoyed the past 9 days of the die launch. Looking forward to seeing more inspiration with the new dies
Luv
Karen xx
Thank you Sue for showing how we can use the "Mom" die to make "Mum". What a brilliant design to be able to spell both words !!!
Beautiful card Sue!
Pretty die but I would have preferred to pay more for the extra letter but that's just my opinion.
Lovely card as always Sue, I love the flowers so much I got to use them yesterday and they have not disappointed they are fab xx
Hi Sue,
Lovely card and I'm sure any Mom, Mum would be over the moon to receive it. Sadly I have no--one to make this card for any more as my Mam passed away 5 years ago next week. However, that does not mean that I can't appreciate the skill and time and effort that has gone into making this.
The new collection is lovely, congratulations.
Love and hugs to all Alison xxxx
Lovely card Sue and the die covers the different spellings. Love the flower corner too. Carol e x
Lovely card Sue, i love those flowers

Evening Sue. Lovely card. Beautiful Passion flowers. Xx
I know I "posted" this morning with my coffee early as I was leaving for a stamp show 2 hours away and I used my phone which is what I am blaming for my post not arriving.
I think it was ingenious to create a Mom or Mum card out of one letter. The passion flowers are a big hit with everyone so a very winning card.

PS. I found a vendor with Glitter Kiss. Very Exciting.
The versatility of the Mom/Mum die is fantastic! Love your card Sue!!
Hi Sue and everyone
Love the card Sue and so easy to change the O to a U.
If you make a DAD one day, It would be great for then I can
make MAMMA Lol
Donita- I live in the UK but still have to remember my mum's
day the 27 of May and dad I think is the 11 of Nov this year
or I will have a real telling off if I forget to send a card Lol
Pam,Elaine,Laine,Rosemarie,Marie and anyone else missing, I miss

Good morning Sue .
A beautiful card for Mothers Day Sue. My mum died over 40 years ago and your card today brought so many happy times to my mind.
I got an unexpected trip to the craft store in Preston yesterday. My Son had given me a voucher for Christmas so he and his Wife took me to spend it. I asked to be shown to the Sue Wilson aisle and OH MY! there were 3 aisles and I spent nearly 3 hours there (and lots of cash).I have been promised another trip in April for my Birthday.
Thank you so much Sue for all that you do for us.
Marie P.
The way you created the look for these Passion Flowers with glitter and pearls makes an elegant set of flowers. My favorite look for these flowers so far.
