A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! Let's show off the Ivy Garden Background die today. It makes an entire card as it gives you all the necessary pieces. Add in some pixie powders for the real Wow factor!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
This reminds me of a burst of spring when everything is starting to turn green after the long winter. It's so bright and fresh. The die is so intricate and creates the perfect card with very little effort thanks to your fabulous dies. Love those pixie powders.
Good Morning Sue I have this set of dies and had some lovely comments about my cards made with them. They always look so clean and fresh.Your card is great. I would like to say what a wonderful new launch. Some really different dies something to suit everyone. Thank you Jan x
This is such a fabulous die and your card uses it to create effect,it's stunning. What a great launch, so many interesting dies, now we can settle back and enjoy them unfold before us!
Loved the launch and your new dies are awesome have quite a few on my must have list. Lovely way to show off the ivy die will watch and learn after work. Thanks Sue you are an inspiration to us all, have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Sue. Gorgeous card and a fabulous video - I love this die! Thank you and congratulations on another wonderful launch, it has been amazing to see how you use the new dies, looking forward to seeing more of your creations. Sue xxx
Morning Sue. This die collection would make it easy for anyone at any level to make a card with the wow factor. Looking back at my first attempts of card making years ago (pre Sue Wilson dies) I thought I was the bee's knees when in fact they were totally poop lol. Now the people new to craft that are buying your collections have all they need to give them the confidence to make something special. This ivy garden is all you need to put a smile on anyone's face, the colours of pixie powders you've used to create this sample sings spring is bursting free, and with just a change of colour will fit in with the change of seasons. As soon as this die was launched there were SO many stunning cards popping up on Paul's fb group and this was all that was used apart from a sentiment because this die is all that is needed plus it's so useful to use on a full sheet of Pixied card if you're not keen on the overall look as when cut into smaller pieces pixied card looks so different. Looking forward to watching the tutorial as part of my recovery and I can't think of a better sample to ease us back into one post a day. Have a bright sunny cheerful day xxx
Good morning Sue, this is such a pretty card which looks as if you have spent ages making it yet, it's the intricate dies which you bring us that's done all of the hard work. Thank you so much. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs xx Pauline from Teesside
Good Morning Sue and all Stunning card to wake up to this morning . The colours and effect from the Pixie powder work beautifully with the Ivy die. Thank you so much for creating the video. Crafty hugs and well wishes to all , Wendy
I never would have noticed that you put the white ivy corners back in. I found my eyes had locked into thinking the leaves were white, so when I looked at the circle, I couldn't make sense of it.
We're coming up on my favorite part of spring, where each kind of plant is a different color green.
Morning Sue, I love all the ivy dies, some of my favourite to use, and this is still to be added to my collection. The colours used are really lush. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Good Morning Sue. I love this die.... It is on my list and has been for a while.... I just keep getting others I like and this poor thing gets pushed to the back. There are so many I would love to own. I think I need a lottery win lol. Beautiful sample card too. Sending best wishes to everyone everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi sue thanks again for your wonderful launch of new dies I love today’s card so fresh and the colour is just beautiful your card is lovely so I’m off to see how it was created Thank you love June Horrocks xxxxxx
Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card I love it. That die set is glorious. I am looking forward to watching the video later. Have a great weekend. Take care. Hugs Jackie
A lovely card and a great informative video too. I must confess that I haven't ventured into pixie dust yet, but I think I must soon. It looks so lovely. Xxx
Lovely card today. I prefer the one you made on the video where you cut the corners again in white and filled them back into place to give the lovely embossed detail. The paper piecing didn't look too fiddly or difficult and looks so much more finished that the one in the photos, making it well worth that little bit extra effort.
Well you have done it again Sue, I received this die this week & lo & behold you demo it! This happened with the last die I bought! So thank you, off to watch the video now.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card Sue x The ivy die has such lovely detail and I love the pixie colours you have used x thankyou Sue x Take care everyone x Theresa w in Berks xxx

Hi Sue, I loved this set on launch and it went on my very long wish list straight away. Unfortunately it is still languishing there as others have leap-frogged over it but I am sure it will come here one day. The card is gorgeous in its simplicity and using the pixies gives it a lovely glow. Great video as usual, thank you.
Hi Sue. This card looks as though it would be really complicated to make but now I can see that it was quite easy. Love this set of dies as the result is so natural.
I now own the Ivy garden die and have been playing with it. Amazing card Sue, also have pixie powders so I am really out stepping my comfort zone(oh well).
Super card and video. Gorgeous pixie powder background for the Ivy Garden dies. I've been playing with the pixies today, ready to use the card with my newly acquired Passion Flower die set.
Hi Sue, Enjoyed your video as always.Glad I watched this specific video where the card you made it is slightly different than the one you posted:on the one from video you cut the outer die again in white and put the white ivy corners back in, while on the card posted here you can see the white background. Small difference that at the first glance you don't even notice. Both cards are bright and fresh,celebrating the arrival of long awaited spring. Hugs from Toronto to you all and special hugs to all missing friends. Still a newbie to Craft / not longer the newest, or the only across the pond Wilsonette Carmen-Dorothy
Hi Sue A beautiful spring looking card and I just love the effect of the Pixie Powders. I am building quite an arsenal of colours but haven't yet tried them. Your video is superb as always. Thank you for my daily 'Fix' Marie P.

Really lovely card today! Love the different shades of green you've used together and the ivy dies are just fab. Debra x
Good morning Sue,
I love this card (and die), the beautiful Pixie Powder background is stunning and the detail very realistic. X
The Pixie Powders really set off today's card. Add a sentiment to the ivy die and you have an instant card. Another great die in the latest release.
I never would have noticed that you put the white ivy corners back in. I found my eyes had locked into thinking the leaves were white, so when I looked at the circle, I couldn't make sense of it.
We're coming up on my favorite part of spring, where each kind of plant is a different color green.
Best to all,
