Squares Cards from Rectangle Craft Dies
Hi bloggers! Today's video features one of my favourite die cutting tricks! I will show you how to make a square shape out of a rectangle die shape for more versatility!
The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Can't wait to watch today's video as despite repeating myself; I love using your ruffled edge die but haven't used it to make a square. Beautiful card. Thank you. Hugs xx Pauline
Hello Sue, lovely ruffle edge die making a beautiful Christmas card. Off to watch video especially as I want to to this method for some of my Christmas cards Thanks as always Sue xx
Good Morning Sue. A beautiful card and a great video making a great start to the weekend. Thank you for showing us how to create a little more of your magic. My Mum used to say "You can't make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear" but I wouldn't put it past you Sue. Have a wonderful weekend Marie P.
I love it when you cut your dies up to make another shape, you just make it look so easy! Really must give it a go as I make a lot of square cards, but I do have a few of your rectangle Dies. I certainly couldn't see where you had done the cuts & the small pearls hide it completely. It makes a lovely card. Thank you for your inspiration Sue.
Good Morning Sue. Saturday morning...on my setee... got my cuppa in hand and just watched your fabulous video. I love how you alter your dies from one shape to another. And I love this card. So beautiful. You make everything look so easy and how neat you are...unlike me. I. Do try though. Beautiful sample Sue. Thankyou. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Hi Sue- this is a a gorgeous card. I love the way you cut your dies and it's always good to be reminded of your technique. The glittered borders are so subtle and pretty. Great video. Sending best wishes YvonneMayxx

Gorgeous post with versatile dies - still have the video to watch when I get away from the cleaning!!! Evil necessity, but means I can get into my new craft shed!!!!
Hi Sue. Love this card today and I love the way you can make square cards from your rectangular dies meaning you get more use out of them. I have used this idea quite often since you showed us how to do this before.
Gorgeous design using modified die cuts and creative placements. Your Marilynne die is a beauty and so versatile! Your videos are great and always so helpful. Thank you for sharing. Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving.
Hi Sue, I love this gorgeous card and the way you have created a square from the Ruffled Edge Frame. I am pleased to say that I achieved this with the help of a previous video showing a similar alteration to a different die. Once you know where you are going with it, it all makes perfect sense and your videos are excellent at showing this so I thank you.
Hello Sue What would I do without your inspiration,thank you for this video I love making square cards so will now have a rethink of all my rectangular dies
Hello Sue and all As if your dies aren’t versatile enough as they are, you show us ways to make them into even more useful shapes and designs. Love this card, golds and whites always so classy Hugs Muriel x
