Hi bloggers! I think it's about time for a pretty flower square card! I started by cutting the outside portion of the
Lesley die into a piece of coconut white card. I backed it with the new
Arctic Blue colour (it is such a soft pretty blue!) Next I cut the
Petunia Flower Square die in white and in black card. I adhered the black version to a square of sticky adhesive sheet and used that as my base. I cut the die again out of
Old Rose, Khaki Green and Arctic blue card, keeping all the fallaway pieces from each of them. I paper pieced the colours back in using the old rose for the petunia, the Khaki for the leaves and the Arctic blue for the background. Once it was all pieced together, I offset the white die cut over the black outline. I cut a couple of the
Jocelyn die and cut them in half and used the decorative pieces just under the edge of the flower die as a soft accent then mounted it in a diamond orientation in the middle of the card. White and Arctic Blue mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 6 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Fabulous card Sue xx Hazel
Morning Sue. This is just gorgeous. I so need to buy some of the new coloured cardstock it really does look beautiful. Your Petunia die looks really easy to paper piece with no teeney weeney pieces to worry about pinging round my work table, I need to remember the top tip you shared in Feb about a tiny bit of glue dot on the top of your pockey tool. Every sample this week has been adorable and this beauty is no exception. Thank you for sharing this adorable delicate Petunia/Lesley/Jocelyn sample, have a really lovely day xxx
Morning Sue, a really gorgeous card, love paper piecing and these dies are perfect for that. Have a great day everyone. Bx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful creation today, I have all these dies but not the lovely blue card so will have to use what I have in my stash when I have a go at this one. The dies are amazing, cut just like butter with the bits all falling out nicely.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, a really pretty card this morning. Love the colours you have chosen.

Ah the Flower Square dies - gorgeous. The feltmark card colours are just so lovely
Have been watching Julia on HOCHANDA and she has been showing off your dies and stamps to perfection. Vivian and Lesley are such fabulously intricate dies with large amounts of pure genius thrown in for good measure! Also nice to be able to see the true colours of the feltmark card.
Happy Thursday everyone

Another beautiful card for my morning treat Sue. I do like paper piecing as long as the bits are big enough to see and this one looks perfect. Shouldn't be too long before I'm allowed back in my craft room.

Good Morning Sue. Lovely flower square today Sue.. And I love that little lacy number sitting in the corners.... now that is lovely. hmmmm I see a spend coming on. I also have to say how much I like the New colour cards you have been using. Do you have a colour swatch so that we can see them all. Beautiful sample today Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Good morning Sue,
A very pretty card.Yvonne xx
A simple but very effective card. Love it.
I do like the look of some of the new coloured card stock; it is such a shame I no longer live down the road from CE so can’t peruse before I buy, I can’t buy it locally unfortunately.

Morning Sue
At last I can see your lovely creations. I think the gremlins have invaded my computer lately.
I do love your flower dies. Hugs xx Pauline
Beautiful design. I like so much that you remind us we can cut apart the die cuts to create something else than just the design one gets from the single die. Atleast for me, I seem to need to be reminded to do that and to always LOOK at the die cut for other patterns. Thank you.
Hi Sue Oh how lovely! I love the flower dies & the new card colours are beautiful
Oh sue, you've done it again. This is such a lovely card, and the petunia is a lovely die.
I'm with Suzzette Yandle, always looking for inspiration - and always finding them. Thanks Sue,
Hugs

This is so elegant, the flower die is beautiful!
Lovely card. These flower dies are so versatile with all the different methods of using them. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue. Love how the Lesley die makes such a pretty background. Good idea to use the soft blue in the background which really makes the pink of the petunia pop.
Lisbeth
Very effective I love that you’ve changed the orientation of the flower die (which I have Yay!) and the slight black shadow

Quite different to the usual, but another idea to add to the collection, beautiful card...thank you Sue...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, I love this card and you have given me yet another brilliant idea on how to use my Flower Squares. Really like the softer colours that you have used here and I am with others in wishing that colour swatches were available for those of us that cannot see them before buying.

Very nice card today.These flower squares are easy to paper piece, glitter, and other things. I don't have any but I am going to suggest to my very small and only local (hour away) craft store that she orders some as I think they would be popular.
