Daffodil
Hi there my crafty friends! What layered flower collection would be complete without a Daffodil! So here we are! This set has thirteen dies which include one large flower, one smaller flower, a flower bud as well as leaves and stems. You can build the flowers up into a full bouquet or keep it simple with just a few flowers. Either way, they are sure to make a beautiful card. You know what to do, right? Leave your comment on this post as well as all the others to give you the best chance of winning! The next post will be along at 3pm today. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue, a beautiful CAS style card and your daffodils are lovely. It's great that you have included a bud as well. I have other daffodil dies but they are extremely fiddly to make up, your layering flowers look to be so much easier that I think I must invest.
Hello Sue, Daffodils are such cheerful flowers and your sample does them justice, it’s beautiful. It’s the Welsh national flower if I’m not mistaken and I imagine all your Welsh followers will be delighted with this set. Tooth Fairy Jo. xxxx
Hi Sue I do love daffodils and there’s nothing nicer than a small vase of them in the house after all the Christmas decorations are put away. Your card is beautiful, clean and simple, and looks like some new butterflies are coming soon
Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh these Daffodils really do bring back memories for me, every mothers day we gave my Mum a flower, and she treasured it for weeks. This card sample is beautiful, and I can think of so many people who would love this card. I wonder what it would look like as a bunch as you suggested. Your so clever. x
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue, This is another lovely card and another useful die. I have a friend who loves daffodils and, since her birthday is in the middle of daffodil season, I try to make her a different daffodil card each year! Thank you for the inspiration. Stay well, Jay Crafter
Hi again Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Another wonderful die set Sue x the daffodils look beautiful on your card x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
My birthday flower, love them & your card (with pixies!) so these are a must. The leaves are showing in my garden so not too long now before we start to see these beauties. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue Daffodils are another of my favourite flowers. So this is going to be a must have for me. Love the simplicity of this card x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
Hi Sue, I love their cheerful little faces and those in my garden are shooting up. This is such a pretty card but I'm already considering putting them in a frame along with your other flowers because that way I get to keep them lol Crafty Hugs, Pauline from Teesside x
Lovely daffodil die and I like the inclusion of the buds and leaves. Daffodils always make me think spring is round the corner. The card is very pretty.
You are so right, Sue, the layered flower collection would be incomplete without a daffodil, this spring flower. They're known to poke their heads up through the snow and to signify that winter has ended and sunnier months are ahead. I cannot wait for those days to come! So this die set is a "must have' for me.
Good Luck to all.
Hugs from Toronto to you all. Stay safe and healthy. Carmen-Dorothy
Good Afternoon Sue. What a lovely sight. And it won't be long before we will be seeing them in true life. These are gorgeous. And such a lovely card. Thankyou Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this set. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds
These layered daffodils are just gorgeous and I have to say that they match absolutely perfectly with your own amazing green and gold background!! I think that all your dies could be layered also more, gluing two layers of any little piece that build a flower. A fabulous release for sure, and seems really easy to use!!!
Daffodils are such brave harbingers of spring, along with a little snow mixed in sometimes! These dies are very realistic, and they look beautiful with the split background layer and the butterflies. Hugs.
Evening Sue, nicer than your other daffodil, but still use that one at this time of year, this will be a nice accessory. Garden is sprouting leaves at the moment if the snow and frost don't kill them, but by end of February middle of March they'll be in full bloom. A
Hi Sue Another set of a beautiful flower and I can see in my mind the biggest and most wonderful bouquet of flowers on many cards for any occasion. Maria ,MK x
Hi Sue, I love the daffodils layering flowers die set. The card is beautiful. I can’t wait to add this to my collection. Be well and stay safe XOXO ROBIN FROM RIVERSIDE
Being a fully fledged Welsh lady I can definitely say this set is a must! I returned to full time work a year ago (hence my disappearance from this blog) and no longer have as much time for my crafting so anything that makes the job easier is a winner in my book lol. And the daffs are springing up in my flowerbeds although this latest cold weather is scaring them a bit I think 🥶
Hi Sue - absolutely gorgeous - who doesn’t love the cheerful daffodil?! My credit card has now gone for counselling lol! Colleen xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue

Loving this set and so unusual to see other than as a 3D type flower. Comes close to the poppy but not quite there as my fav.
