Good Sunday morning all! How about a bright and cheery
Pansy Flower Square card! I started with the
Herringbone background and I cut it twice in white. I glued them together going in opposite directions, then added a white backing behind. I cut the
Pansy Flower Square in white and added it to a backing with a
sticky adhesive sheet added to it. I paper pieced the pansy by cutting it in various colours then adding them back into the die cut. I mounted it in a diamond orientation in the centre of the background. I used the
Many Thanks sentiment cut out of Iris card with a white shadow added. White on white mats and layers completed the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue. What a bright,colourful, happy sample on this bright sunny morning in the cottage in the beautiful countryside, I can't think of a better way to start a Sunday. If Particraft-a-holics don't smile when they see this they must be still sleepy lol. To those spending time with their dad's on father's day, enjoy your special day with this special man. 40yrs and so happy xxx 😉
ReplyDeleteLoving this card. Beautiful pansy xx

ReplyDeleteThank you sue love always June Horrocks xxxxxxxxxx
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there.
ReplyDeleteVery sunny here too!
The pansy would make a great Easter card also. x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a lovely bright sunny Pansy to greet us today, the clouds are hovering over head, mainly dark grey so looks like we are in for some more rain, but at least we are high up so no chance of being flooded like some people are, my heart goes out to them. However, I digress, this is a beautiful sample today, I actually have all of those dies so could make this later couldn't I.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Stunning card Sue xx Hazel

A really nice card Sue. I love the flower square dies, so many occasions they can be used for. Thank you Sue.xxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a beautifully card, adore all the flower squares but I think the pansy is my favourite. Very grey and windy here, think we are in for more rain.

Love the background and the pretty pansy
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeletePansy flower square, herringbone background, shadow sentiment and paper piecing, what is not to love about this one? When I can eventually craft again, this is on top of my list

Hi Sue, both beautiful dies and colours. Vi x
ReplyDeleteG'morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite flower is the Pansy and especially the purple one I love the way you have laid it against the yellow one as those 2 colours together can often be seen by people of low vision (like me) I don't have the die but having seen your lovely card I may well put it on my 'WANT IT' list
Hugs.

Hello Sue such a bright cheerful card. Pansies are a sweet flower, always look pretty with a smile on their petals xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful bright and cheery card to wake up to.x
Lovely card today & I agree with an earlier comment that it would be perfect for Easter.
ReplyDeleteMichele
Lovely card I really enjoy paper piecing if it’s not too fiddly These dies are perfect for it
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue,What a sunny, cheerful pansy card. As I write this I'm looking at my pansies in the hanging baskets outside. Who doesn't love a pansy and with this die, you could have them all year round!
ReplyDeleteIt's my husband's birthday today so he celebrates 'a two -fer' as we say and he loved his card using your African animals (zebras) stamp and die.
Enjoy your father's day those of you who are still fortunate enough to do so. Still, I look back on special memories. Hugs xx Pauline from Teesside
Hello Sue, this is so bright and cheerful. Love the background.

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card this morning and I do love seeing your creations with the flower squares. Love how you have created the background with Herringbone by cutting twice and crossing over . The pansy colours are beautiful and one of my favourite flowers and the sentiment is a perfect size.
Crafty hugs to all , Wendy
Many congratulations to Steph and her hubby
Morning Sue, beautiful card, the colours are so fresh, love it! Love Jean xxx

Hi Sue, a really lovely and striking card, the pop of colour against the white is so effective. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Love that herringbone background and what a good idea to use the pansy in a diamond orientation which makes it look completely different.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, I do love your flower squares but the pansy is one of two that I don’t have. Having just bought the poinsettia flower square I will now be concentrating on my Christmas cards so maybe sometime in the future I will get the lovely pansy
Happy 40th anniversary to Steph and Andrew
Love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and bright card. Love the pansies especially in such bright colours. The background of the herringbone die used twice looks amazing too and a nice contrast to the pansy square.
To Steph and hubby Andrew, congratulations on your Ruby Wedding. I hope you received some beautiful cards. Enjoy your special day. Xx
Love Helen xxx
Paper piecing is just so beautiful and this card just portrays that, so beautiful....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteVery pretty - I do love your 'flower squares'.
ReplyDeleteAw sue just what i needed a lovely bright card to cheer me up! As my gran is 97 and very poorly and she loves pansy so i have shown her your lovely card. Thank you Helen xxx
ReplyDeleteI really like this effective, cheery card. The flower squares are so versatile....whatever mood you fancy.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card, - popping pansies springs to mind.............
I love the Herringbone Die.
Hugs

Pansies are my favorite flower!!!They are delicate and hardy all at the same time. Wonderful die Sue I will be buying this one!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your stain glass dies and your paper piecing. Your Herringbone die makes an interesting background when you place the cuts in opposite direction. Value for one's money. I like that.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bright and cheerful card. I do like the herring bone background.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Hi Sue, a really lovely bright and cheerful CAS card. I love all the flower squares but I think the pansy is my favourite as no matter how I use it, it never fails to make me smile.
ReplyDeleteSteph - Congratulations and Happy Ruby Anniversary to you and Andrew, hope you are both having a great day.

Love the clean lines of this card, both from the pan you & the herringbone background. Lovely bright, cheerful card. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. I love pansies especially purple ones.
ReplyDeleteSue that background is beautiful another must have on my list. The card is super too xxxx
ReplyDeleteEvening Sue, Love this background and I now have all your flower squares. Beautiful card. Are you able to have a rest yet from all the Christmas cards and designs or are you onto the next set. A
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Sue. So clean and simple. Congratulations to Steph on her special anniversary xx
ReplyDeletePretty card sue love the bright colours. Laura O Springfield
ReplyDeleteLove how you've used the herringbone background both ways. I've never been keen on white on white, but the more I see you doing it the more I think I must give it a try!!
ReplyDeleteObviously as I've said in the Christmas launch, I usually only read your blogs from the emails I get and never comment. But I will try from now on! Maybe not every day.
One thing I would like, maybe it is somewhere and I'm not looking correctly is a list of everything you've used for each demo. For example the exact colour card, make and dimensions, what glue you use (spray that you used yesterday in the video for example) any anything else. I really struggle with colour combinations and it would be so so helpful to know what your using or even maybe do a colour chart?
Thanks sue your fab and my favourite crafter by miles!! Lisa xx
This looks amazing! I love how you did the background.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of this card and love the herringbone background. It looks amazing in white! So beautiful.
