Good Sunday morning all! Today's card features the Heather die, all over! I started with a piece of
coconut white card and cut the decorative die from the
Heather set into the centre twice. I backed it with
Cobalt Blue card. Next I cut two more full Heather dies out of white and cut them in half down the centre lengthwise. I glued the halves to the top and bottom of the card edges. I ran a strip of
double pearls cut in half down each of the edges to hide the cut line in the die. Next I cut the
Heather die in Cobalt Blue and backed it in white and added it to the centre of the card with foam. I made a frame using the centre of the
Summer Rose die set and stacked several of them to raise it. I backed it in cobalt blue and added it with foam to the centre of the card. I cut the sentiment from the
Summer Rose frame in white and added it to the centre of the frame. I made a small white flower using the single flower from the
Nasturtium Cluster and inked the edges with
Faded Jeans. I seated the flower on a small white satin ribbon bow. White and Cobalt Blue card mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9" in size.

ReplyDeleteHi again Sue. More snow over night and my pretty happy daffs no longer look happy and spring like. Where have the season's gone from when I was little when summer was hot and autumn was mild, and you knew which season was which !
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the cobalt blue is the most stunning shade and it really shows how gorgeous Heather is. I'm just loving the mini sentiments and hope to start my collection soon. Thanks Sue for today's beautiful sample, and I'm delighted that there were enough comments left this week to enable our three lucky comment winners to receive their lovely gift well done ladies.

Look what one die can do!!! Heather really has a complex character, so cutting it in half one way looks different from cutting it in half the other way.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt is great to see how many ways you have used the Heather die to create your card.
I am sure other dies could be used in a similar way. Thank you for the inspiration.
Seeing my name on the Comment Game winners' list was a wonderful surprise!
Thank you so much.

Lovely card.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely card.

Well this card really showcases the versatility of your dies Sue. It’s incredible that you can make a card with basically one die & by cutting it in two opposite directions can achieve such a different look. You would never think the edge was the same die as the centre. Will be very interested to see you do this with some of your other Dies (Please!). Thank you so much Sue for all your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the comment game winners.
Hi Sue, It is so difficult to find something original to say about your cards so I am left with just saying that this is beautiful as usual.
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Hello Sue.
ReplyDeleteI think this is brilliant, the fact you can get so many looks from the same die, genius. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Marie P from Longridge, Veronique and Sharon Fletcher.

Good Morning Sue and Everybody,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful and creative card. We are all loving the double use of the die cut and the wonderful colors.
Congrats to the comment winners and also to Clare who took the show by storm.
Stay warm and safe until your snow passes on. That is the way I handle SC snow which is mostly ice and treacherous while it lasts.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning statement the cobalt blue and white make. So crisp and clean. I love how you can make a total card by just using one die set. That's just another reason why your dies are so fabulous.
Congratulations to the lucky comment winners this week.

Such a beautiful card, Sue...hard to believe it was made using one die cut so many ways! (Apart from the sentiment frame, of course...) It just goes to show what wonderful value your dies are!! Jo xx

ReplyDeleteSuch a classy card. I love blue and white for cards. It really does make a statement. Throw the beautiful Heather into the mix and you have a winner x
Speaking of winners - congratulations to the comment game winners x
Just to set the record straight - when I mentioned my friend and future hubby were coming yesterday I meant her future hubby not mine. For those who got excited and thinking they needed to buy a hat for my impending nuptials I am terribly sorry to have misled you. I don't need a husband I need a wife. They are much more useful and efficient! Lol x
Lots of love to everyone specially missing friends x

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis card reminds me why I love your dies: with one only you can design and create a variety of elegant and beautiful cards that can be used for different occasions. There are endless possibilities of creating cards for everybody and any taste using one die as you did it today. Heather was the winner this time. You showed us different ways to use it, bringing her beauty to life. Thank you.
Congratulations to Marie P from Longridge, Veronique, and Sharon Fletcher!
Congratulations too for Clare!
PP- I was ready to make a wedding card for you.I will put on hold my good intention till will find the wife of your dreams:)
