Wish Big
Hi crafters! Here is a really easy card to make if you need a last minute Birthday card. I cut the Birthday Wishes Background out of white card. I kept the fall away phrases in the die. I used the Wish Big die and cut it out of the centre of the card. I used a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card that I had streaked alcohol inks across on the diagonal and cut the Wish Big sentiment out of it. I added some mounting foam to the back of the background then added a piece of black card behind it. I paper pieced the Wish Big phrase into the centre. Using the Looped Squares, I cut a frame and added it around the background. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now. Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, how beautiful this sample is, elegant with a hint of colours, you see how lovely it in in the closeups, I must try this one, I know I have the die set.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue. I love card designs like this, clean lines but also has the biggest wow factor. My main reason for requesting lots more big bold noble expressions/sentiments is because if you find yourself in a hurry, or someone has suddenly remembered an occasion , they make the most lovely CAS cards that can look boutique bought with a little extra flower or butterfly. And I'm living the background die, the perfect design for absolutely anyone. Keep well, safe and happy xxx
Hi Sue. Well, you would certainly notice this card on the mantelpiece amongst all the others. Love the splash of colour set against the white background and the great thing is that it is easy to make even though it doesn't look as if it is.
Hi Sue Happy Wednesday everyone x Well this may be an easy card to make but my goodness it certainly packs a punch. The pop of wonderful colour and the slither of black is fabulous - this card definitely has the wow factor. Love it. Fluffycat - all is well now, glad to be back x Maria - nice to be back x CCM - things are good now - hopefully I’m back for good x Take care one and all x Sending you all positive thoughts x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
Hi Sue The birthday wishes background is ideal for quick clean and simple cards, I have used mine a few times since I bought it, and I love the pop of colour you’ve added with the alcohol inks

I love the clean look of white on white cards with a pop of color. I suppose this card is easy to recreate using the color that suits the recipient better. Thanks for the inspiration, Sue.
