Petite Dianthus die set

Hi crafters!  Have you ever thought, I just need a small flower as an accent?  Well I have!  The Petite Dianthus die set is just the fix for that!  Shown on the sample here, it is a small set with three different sized flowers that will be perfect for when you just need a small floral element to add interest to your card or project.  The set comes with a left and right facing swirl to use as accents too.  This flower can be put together as a flat flower or you can make it more dimensional like I have done in this sample.  Leave your comment on this post to be entered into the drawing to win this one.  The penultimate post will be online at 12 noon today.  All for now,. Sue x

  1. Such a pretty card for this launch. The flower dies are going to be so useful because just as you say I often want just a small flower or several to finish off a card.

  4. We knew this day would come at the start of the new launch and many of us love and need our floral elements and not to just covered our accidents or in my case clumsiness lol but whether it's for the above, or just because we have to have it it's a real lovely die to add to what we already have. You can NEVER have too many flowers or butterflies in my opinion. I may have missed day one of this launch but at least I'm here for the last day and I'm so looking forward to the rest that you have to show us xxx

  6. Hi Sue
    I also have often looked for a small accent flower, and this is just right.

  7. Morning Sue. I wouldn't have thought you could make these flowers look so realistic but you have certainly pulled it off judging by this card. Lovely dies.

  30. Morning Sue. I love this card. Your attention to detailm is awesome. I love the touch of navy on the sides of the centre panel and the flowers are A1, just the job. They give that added touch without detracting from the beautiful die cuts you have used. A very useful little flower as are all your flowers.
