Make A Wish
Good Sunday morning all! I used the Looped Squares to cut two sizes of the them. I matted the two Looped Squares then cut off the other sides, leaving just a pointy part to them that I attached on top of a piece of the black and white striped paper from the Monochrome Paper Pad. On top of that, I added seven of the candles from the Birthday Candles set. I cut three of them out of blue card and four of them out of red card. I added the candles without the flame to seven candles cut in white. I coloured the frames and glittered them with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz. I alternated the colours of the candles in a V formation. I used the Make A Wish sentiment cut in black and glued it to the top of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. I just love today's birthday inspiration, the pop of colour is just beautiful, a really happy way to send birthday wishes and love. In the past when I've been lucky enough to have won a die I've always hoped I could do it justice and I've always mentioned that in my thank you post, the Looped square is one I won, and you've proved my point, I'd have never had thought of using it in the position you have, it's a really quaint and delicate die collection, time for me to use it properly and do it and your name justice. Hope you have a lovely day, and love to everyone that feels low or hurts xxx
Hello Sue This card is amazing brilliant for teenagers and adults. Sue you give us so many ideas yours is the only blog I go onto. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I love this one, I have the looped squares and they really are brilliant especially on this sample, love it, really clever with all the candles. Must try this one.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue. What a lovely cheery card this morning. And a wonderful way of using your stash of bits. I have two baskets full of bits ...

Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds Please stay safe and well 🙏 everyone
Hi Sue Happy Sunday everyone x When is a looped square not a looped square?! What a fun and ‘edgy’ way to use the looped squares. Looks so good. I love a monochrome card but with a pop of colour - so eye catching. This is a brilliant man card - always struggle with those men! Take care one and all x Sending you all positive thoughts x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x

Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Fantastic card Sue x I love how you have used the looped square, I would never have thought of that x the bright candles look brilliant x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely card and a great way to use your dies. When used this way the looped squares remind me of the lace edging on a handkerchief. Your birthday candles are so very useful and I like the black and white striped paper, it adds a masculine touch.
