Hello and welcome back! This next set is called Beautiful Hydrangea and is it ever! The die is a bit different in that the flowers cut and lift up to create the look of the Hydrangea without having to put in individual flowers. It also comes with a lovely sentiment die that is just perfect for any occasion! Don't forget to use the Pinit button at the bottom of each post to save any cards or die samples for later inspiration. There is one final day of this blog launch and it all starts tomorrow morning at 6am. It is all about the flowers tomorrow! All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteGreat die set and lovely card. I always used to think hydrangea plants were a bit old fashioned, but in the last 10 years or so I have fallen in love with them. They are little works of art with all the tiny petals that make up the flower heads. We have a couple in our garden, but I think the greatest ones are down south where it’s warmer as they have magnificent specimens much bigger than ours.
Anyway back to the die set and card! Very useful not to have to cut the invidual petals and the leaves are great as is the sentiment.
Love Helen xxx
Wow! This card and die are both stunners! Craftychris in Bournemouth xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely idea to be able to create a fabulous flower with just one die cut

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hydrangeas, doing all the work for a beautiful card.
Looking forward to tomorrow for some more surprises from you.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThe only thing needed on this card are the hydrangeas and sentiment and it makes such a statement.So unusual.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and a very clever die that will save us a lot of cutting and placing of individual petals. Love the way you have achieved the mix of colours on one of the heads, imitating nature perfectly. I have just come back from the garden centre (20% off for members so could not resist) and they had plenty of hydrangeas for sale. I already have several in the garden so was not tempted but I think this die will find its way here very soon.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Great card! What a wonderful idea! I do love all the little individual flowers but it is fiddly and takes a lot of time, this will be so much quicker!
ReplyDeleteJust ordered the cut out squares dies, could not resist!

Good Afternoon Sue,
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are my favourite garden flower. I love how you have taken all the work out of cutting each individual petal, and that they lift up inside the die.... so clever.

ReplyDeleteMarion S x
Good evening Sue and all
ReplyDeleteWOW what a stunning die , so different, the Hydrangea name is just perfect , it is beautiful. I love the detail of the petals opening up and will save so much time. I think you can have so much fun trying different inks to colours the flowers. I do like to collect your finishing touches flowers but this one is so different.
I remember when Hydrangea use to be old fashioned but times have changed and its so much on trend now. I can see many people wanting to add this die to there collection.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI don't really think this is a "finishing touch" but the perfect touch for creating an elegant card as you have done here. I really like the uniqueness of the die and the fact that the petals open up to give a more realistic look. A "showstopper".

Hi Sue, this is a gorgeous die, and it makes a stunning card!
ReplyDeleteWow what eye catching card Sue. The Hydrangea die is a definite MUST HAVE.
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangea is my most favorite flower. I love them so much. My mother had one on each side of the stairway to our front door growing up. It got so big every year that my dad had to cut them back. My mother had a green thumb. It’s all I can do to keep her Christmas cactus alive since she’s passed away in ‘99. But, Momma, I’m doing it. (So far anyway.). So this die is now a little higher on my wish list. Myra, calla lily crafts
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteIt seems hydrangeas are a favourite for many of us, I have 2 growing, they were pink but I love blue and have been using the powder trying to blue them for a couple of years and so far have got to a creamy colour but they are beautiful in so many shades. They remind me of my Nan who used to call them her "hygeraniums" lol !
Love the way the flowers are cut and stand up without the need to glue lots of little flowers on, way up the ever growing list.
So sad that tomorrow is already the last day, your releases fly and this one has so many Must Haves as usual,
Can't wait to see more flowers,
Hugs
Muriel x
How fabulous these hydrangeas look. Beautiful sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteMuriel, I was once told to put a few rusty nails amongst the roots to encourage the flowers to turn blue.
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is a treasure and certainly gives a very different look from any of the other dies. I love it as much as I love hydrangeas... and that is a lot!
Thanks

ReplyDeleteHave seen this flower on cards before but it looks so difficult to do . This die would make it easy

Dorothy of Baldock
Hi Sue. This is such a beautiful card with a lovely new "hydrangea" flower die !!! I really love the sentiment you have included in this set. I think it is a lovely size, a lovely font and a lovely phrase !!! The Hydrangea's themselves are beautiful and something a little bit different. I love that you can lift up the little flowers but that they are still attached !!! Very pretty Sue !!! Thank you. Lots of love from Tres X X X
ReplyDeleteTres from Orpington X X X
