Hello there my crafty friends! Today's card giveaway is one of the demos from my last shows on Hochanda. I started by cutting the decorative die from the
Poppy die set twice across a piece of
coconut white card. I backed it with a
sticky adhesive sheet attached to a piece of white card. I used
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on all the remaining exposed adhesive for a bit of a bling to my background. Next I cut another
Poppy die in white and nipped it in half so I could use the corners. I cut it again in wisteria card and backed it in white, then cut the centre of it out. I added mounting foam to the back then attached the cut
Poppy die so just the corners were sticking out from behind. I attached this to the centre of the card and recessed down into the oval the middle section of the
Poppy die cut in white and backed in wisteria. I cut it one more time and attached it but left the floral element unattached and lifted it up a bit. I made a 3D flower by cutting just the large flower from the oval a couple of times and nipping it out to use. I inked it lightly with
Shaded Lilac distress ink and glued it back into place on top of the flower in the oval. I cut the Happy Mothers day from the
Springtime Frame die set and glued it into place (I needed to nip away a few bits of the flowers to make it fit). White and wisteria mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 9 1/2" in size. Leave a comment if you would like to be entered into the drawing to win this card. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. This is such a stunning delicate sample and you're such a wonderful person to gift this to some very lucky honoured blog lover.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's not a card I need to make, I just know that this die will help me make a lot of mum's very happy next 2019 Mother's Day as your dies have done this year so I thank you for helping me put a smile on someone somewhere's face this Mothers Day.
I send you love and hugs as I do every day and a bigger hug for all the inspiration you give us daily, have a wonderful day wherever in the world you are xxx
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites from your recent Hochanda shows. Its so lacy and delicate and just my style. The Poppy Frame die does make such lovely cards. This is sure to be a delight for all the Mothers out there. The winner of this weeks giveaway is going to love this.
Have a wonderful day.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful give away card today, love this one, sadly my Mum is no longer with us but I know if she had been here she would have loved this so much. Good luck to everyone.
ReplyDeleteSorry not been on the blog for a few days, will catch up with the missed posts later, I have been on a 2 day parchment craft retreat - which I must say is, without a doubt, the best retreat I have ever been on, I learnt so much, the venue was wonderful, if any of you know it, it was The Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells, met so many friends and made many new ones, but don't worry I love both parching and card crafting just as much.
Got lots to do today as it is my Wednesday craft group, so must get my self in gear and get ready for that.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue.

Good Morning Sue. Yes yes this is me. I love this card Sue its got all I wish for in a card. And again I will give it a try. I loved yesterday's card and as I type I have a piece of card on my craft table squiggled with glue ( you said leave overnight to dry) I can't wait to get the pixies on it.
ReplyDeleteJune so glad you enjoyed your retreat. I was worried something was wrong when you didn't post for a couple of days.then you reminded us of the retreat....Is there some way I can get in touch with you please its concerning the parchment/vellum. Hope this is ok to ask. If not I apologise.
Someone is going to be very lucky to win this card. Sending best wishes to all. On my way for an E.C.G. this morning hope all is ok. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. what an absolute gorgeous card
love everything about. Love to own, Mavis L x
This card makes me happy. One because you only have to cover the outer edges with glitterbitz and two because Jacqui's comment made me think what a great wedding card this would make. Three because it's so clever of you to make so many of your dies work equally well horizontal or vertical. But mainly because it is so beautiful. Congratulations to the person who doesn't know it yet but who will be the winner.
ReplyDeleteI'm kicking myself for missing the Octagons on Phill's One Day Special on Hochanda. But I got the Checkerboard and Pinpoint Something embossing folders.
Our stamp gathering last weekend was cancelled because of Friday's storm. Some of us were without power until Monday night, and trees and wires were down everywhere. Some weren't all the way down, and you had to drive under. I was careful to preserve battery power in my phone and iPad, but I didn't notice I was losing brain power. Got it back by staying home Tuesday. And Wednesday is bringing another storm
This is March, coming in like a lion.
Best to all, Donita
Stunning card Sue, I love it
ReplyDeleteHi sue such s very pretty card today as always but some lucky crafter will win this one
ReplyDeleteMy mum left me 18 years ago it I take a card with her flowers every year
Thank you sue
Love always. June Horrocks xxxxxx

Plus A Few Magnificent Creative Expression Products..
Sue, You Began Today’s Card By Cutting The Decorative Die From The Poppy Die Set Twice Into A Piece Of
Coconut White Foundation Card, You Backed This With A Piece Of Sticky Adhesive Sheet Attached To A Piece Of
Coconut White Foundation Card Then You Used The Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz To Cover All Remaining Exposed
Adhesive, To Add Bling To Your Astonishing Background.
Sue, You Cut Out The Poppy Die Once Again From Coconut White Foundation Card You Nipped This In Half
So You Could Just Use The Corners (Your A Genius!) Then You Cut Out The Poppy Die Set Once Again This Time
Using Wisteria Foundation Card Then Backing This With Coconut White Foundation Card, Then You Cut Out The Centre
You Added Mounting Foam To The Back Then Attached The Poppy Die So Just The Corners Were Appearing From
Behind It, You Then Placed This To The Centre Of Your Background Then Recessed Down Into The Oval The Middle
Section Of The Poppy Die Set Cut Out In Coconut White Foundation Card Backed In Wisteria Foundation Card
You Cut One More Time Then Attached It, But Left The Floral Element Unattached You Also lifted The Floral Element
Slightly, You Created A 3D Flower Cutting Just The Large Flower From The Oval A Couple Of Time Also Nipping It
Out To Use It.
Sue, You Slightly Inked Using Shaded Lilac Once You’d Created Your Flower You Glued It On Top Of Your Flowers In
The Oval You Then Cut Out The Happy Mother’s Day Sentiment Which You Took From The Springtime Frame Die Set Cutting
It Out Using Coconut White Foundation Card, Then You Glued Your Sentiment Into Place After Nipping A Few Of
The Flowers To Make It Fit (I Would Use To A Friend Stamp) You Then Placed This To Your Base Card Using
Mounting Foam With A White/Wisteria/White Mat/Layer.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue this is a stunning card I love it. Winning this would be awesome. Enjoy the rest of the day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteThis is a spectacular card for our give-away. Some Lucky Duck will be over the moon to win this. I just got my poppy die in the mail yesterday so will have some fun with it later, maybe tomorrow as it is my stamping group day. I love to see the pretty samples on the blog.
ReplyDeleteDonita, I did catch the octagon dies on Hochanda. I had made up my mind that I would not be tempted as I have the hexagons....well Phill's samples were so gorgeous AND it was such a good deal....I hope that you enjoy the embossing folders. I had to pass on those as my bank account was tapping me on the shoulder but they are lovely. Be careful with wires down, etc. Staying in is a good plan. We are in for colder weather again here so zap goes the flowering trees and azaleas. We are not having the pretty springs of the past these last couple of years.
Everyone have a fun, crafty day & good luck to everyone,
