Hello there my crafty friends! Today's card shows you how to use the
Flora die in a different sort of way! I started by embossing a piece of
coconut white card that I cut on the diagonal using the
Heart Scrolls embossing folder. I added mounting foam to the backs of both pieces and added it to a piece of
Cobalt Blue card, leaving a two inch gap between the diagonal pieces. Next I cut two of the
Flora dies in white and started to nip off the floral fingers coming out from the centre. I reassembled them into the diagonal gap I left open and added
3mm white pearls to the centres of all the flowers. I cut both the
Just Wanted To Say and the Happy Birthday Mini Expressions in Cobalt blue several times, then stacked them, added a black shadow and glued them to the top and bottom portions of the card. Cobalt Blue and Coconut White card mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue,
What a creative way of using the Flora die, you would never know that it started out as a circle. The blue and white together is so clean and bright but there is also a delicacy to the card. Just lovely.
Have a wonderful day.

Simply divine, love it Sue. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Sue
This is a great way to show off how dies are not always what they seem, to be able to transform a circle into a decorative panal is just amazing.

Such a pretty card & my favourite colour combo. Thanks Sue xx
How many of us would see the Flora die and think of using it to fill a diagonal stript? Exactly one of us, and that one is you, our fearless Sue Wilson.
Yesterday I was trying to make a flip card with the label shape from the Natalie die set in the Festive collection. For a Belated Father's Day card. I want the label to spell out DAD on one side and WOW on the other. Haven't quite mastered the flip technology yet, but I'm getting closer.
Once again tonight, however, I fell asleep while trying to think of what to say next, and my iPad fell Hit me in the forehead and woke me up. So goodnight Fair Crafters, and Happy Friday.

Hi Sue
Lovely card today. The blue really makes the white pop.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes.
A very beautiful card again Sue. It's hard to find new adjectives to say how wonderful all of your creations are.
I'm waiting for my daughter to pick me up and take me to the hospital for a cortisone injection into my hip joint and feeling a bit nervous.
All for now.

Hi Sue, well Flora is a cheeky little minx isn't she, changing herself from a circle into a beautiful floral spray and adorned with tiny pearls. She looks really lovely in the channel on the cobalt blue card and surrounded by the heart scrolls embossing folder. A lovely card.

Classic Sue! Truly lovely card!

You had me wondering just what that pretty edger die could be until I read. I love the other side of Flora! Very eye catching with all the pearls and that pop of cobalt blue.A winner for sure.

Love your channel card Sue, the flowers with the tiny pearls are the finishing touch for sure!!!
Very pretty channel card. How imaginative to snip the lovely Flora like this. Until I read your description I thought I'd 'missed' a new die, Sue. Super idea.
Take care everyone.
Very pretty card. Diagonal in the centre looks awesome.
The cobalt blue and white make a very striking combination and the Flora die adds the perfect touch in the channel. A very creative use for that die. Beautiful card.
Love the Flora die. Many uses.
