Good Sunday morning all! I have a simple card that uses the
Flora die for you today. I started by cutting a background using the
Stitched Pegboard Frames, then I cut the
Ivy Garden Background into the back, then kept it in the card so there was only the outline of the ivy in the corners. If you put tape on the back of the card before removing the die it makes it easier to keep it in the actual cut area. Next I cut the
Flora die once out of blush card and once out of black card. I offset the black one behind the blush card and mounted it in the centre of the card. I cut the
Miss You Mini Expression out of both black and blush card. I shadowed it and seated it on a blush mat from the
Sophia set and a black octagon from the
Double Stitched Octagon set. White, blush and black mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimension s are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size.
Don't forget that the rest of the Creative expressions team is still demonstrating today during the final day of the Weekend Takeover at Hochanda! All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the great shows you are brilliant.
Today's card is so pretty, that will be my card today,
I haven't done much lately, thank you for the inspiration.
Take care and have a rest, Kitty.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty and delicate card today with a bit of a twist on the background. The blush card is my favorite, Creative Expressions needs to bring it back.
Congratulations on your shows and your sell outs, must make you feel good.
Have a great Sunday.

Morning Sue, there's that gorgeous flora and ivy garden die again, I will never get tired of these dies, I'll never get tired of any of your dies (as my need list grows) but these are so dainty and pretty either used alone or as a duet the most beautiful mix and today's sample shows just that. So where's this storm gone that made the committee of the country park decide to cancel market !? Okay, so last month was wet cold and windy with few visitors and volunteers of the park chasing gazebo's that had decided to come loose, but if they'd have decided to check today's weather yesterday instead of Friday I wouldn't be losing sales from my regular market customers and adding a few more pounds to my craft account which is drastically needed as my cardstock is dwindling plus I really need the baby rattle lol. Oh well at least I can actually sit and enjoy the Takeover rather than wonder what I'm missing lol.
ReplyDeleteIt's been fantastic watching the team, with so many brilliant tips so much help so much new 'stuff' and so much more to see today ☺ have a great day and hope you're now feeling %100 again xxx
A really pretty card design! Would have preferred maybe chocolate brown than black but it's a wonderful card anyway. Debra x

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA very pretty and delicate looking card in a lovely colour combination. I love the Flora die and must try the cutwork corner details.
I managed to catch one of the takeover shows yesterday, which was informative and fun, and hope to catch up with the others very soon. Keep up the great work.x
GM Sue. Very lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteA lovely card, very pretty.
Hopefully the recorder is storing all the takeover shows for me to view when I get some free time. I did a Sugarcraft workshop yesterday and my brother is visiting today so I can’t watch them live.

ReplyDeleteManaged to watch shows yesterday up until lunchtime when I had to go out and due to heavy rain here in the south, no signal was being received via satellite so my recordings failed. Still the same this morning so I will be watching on the internet today.

Good morning Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteToday’s card is right up my street I do love florals
I don’t remember seeing the floral die before so I may just have to check it out
After I check my crafty stash first because I am known for buying things twice and some of my friends like me for that as I usually pass them on to them
Have a wonderful Sunday
Theresa G xx
Good morning Sue and many congratulations on the takeover,I actually gave in to temptation on two occasions and only got as far as checkout which didn't work. My blood pressure must have soared. I ended up calling them which is difficult for me as I am so deaf. Anyway I was told they were having trouble with the website blah blah.
ReplyDeleteBack to today's card which is gorgeous and right up my street. I love the delicate nature of the finished card.
Have fun.
Marie P.
Such a pretty card and would look great in loads of different colours. Xxx
ReplyDeleteA lovely pretty card Sue
ReplyDeleteSo love looking at your works of art, so inspirational xx
Hello Sue, a really stunning card today, love the dimension created by the layers. Have a good day all, it is a bit wet out there. Bx
ReplyDeleteMay be simple but its very effective and definitely beautiful. Loved the shows by you and the team.
ReplyDeleteYou might think it simple Sue, I think it is beautiful....thank you...have so enjoyed the 'takeover weekend' on Hochanda, watching at the moment, loved them all...luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card. Vert pretty and delicate.
ReplyDeleteLovely card I am going to try this technique with other background dies
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your first two shows and will try and catch up with the others later today. With no recording facility I have to rely on Hochanda's own catchup.
Teresa
very beautifulllllll and elegant Sue
ReplyDeleteGr Karin
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is BEAUTIFUL. And I'll remember your tip about the cellotape on the back whilst cutting out. Flora is one of my favourites, always go to dies.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. I love those dies. Hasn't it been a fabulous weekend for Creative Expressions. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card with the gorgeous flora and ivy garden dies, I love using both of these dies but haven’t used them together before so thank you for the inspiration. Great weekend of shows from all the creative expressions team
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Hi Sue, a lovely gentle card and Flora is a favourite that I have yet to get but I agree with Debra that chocolate would be our preferred colour. Personal choice aside, it is a beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteI watched and enjoyed your shows on Friday and managed to catch up with Saturday's early programme last night. Hoping to watch the rest later on today. From the above comments it would seem that all went well and I hope you are happy with the well deserved success.
Frances
Hi Sue, just managed to see your final show yesterday and will have to see the rest on 'carch up'. As usual your dies were flying out of the window.
ReplyDeleteReally like the delicate flowers on today's die. Yet another die to add to my want list.
Planned to do my ironing whilst watching the CE team this afternoon. Hugs xx Pauline
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA lovely card. Very delicate and pretty colours.
Hope you enjoyed the Hochanda shows as much as we all did. I think you looked like you were enjoying yourself.
Love Helen Xxx
A very pretty card. X
ReplyDeleteLovely
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteAn elegant design,lovely.I have just finished a card using your cupcakes they are so easy to use and even make my attempts look good so thank you Sue.
A very pretty card today. I know some people are suggesting chocolate instead of black, but I like the combination of blush & black. The blush takes the starkness away, but having said that I think black & white is smart & classy! Thank you Sue, hope you are putting your feet up today! (But I doubt it!)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love it just as it is
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteToday’s card is stunning - always love blush card x
Have not had chance to watch your shows from yesterday yet but you and the team have been brilliant for this takeover weekend - thank you for all your hard work x

Beautiful card Sue. I have never seen a card using the Flora die that hasn't been beautiful. I think it is a combination of the pretty flowers and the delicate look but whatever its still one of my top tens.
