Hi crafters! Today's offering is a really easy card that can be done in any colour choice that suits your needs! The Pin wheel flowers also look really nice when done in the scrunched floral method.
The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Beautiful card Sue. Stunning floral display too.
Back to work today so your post cheers me up on this cold dark morning.
Elaine, sorry Andrew is not too well, hopefully this new treatment will start soon.
Jackie, my friend suffers with fibromyalgia, she often feels too tired to get out of bed. Your daughter us so young, I hope she feels better soon. It is an awful illness.
Rosemary, you will have a suoer time with your daughter, such a special relationship.
Oh June, now you have scared me, hats and I don't go well together, eeks.
They haven't set any arrangements yet but if they want me to I will do the invitations.
Donita, dud the Cadburys chocolate lorry arrive. Take care of yourself.
Stay warm and well everyone, my thoughts are with poorly and missing friends. Hugs basket open too.
Hello Sue and all
Great colours, hexagons and floral element. The border idea is good too, as usual the video makes it all so logical and easy to follow.
Spent the day putting Christmas away, reorganised the storage, it was close to 30 deg C so feeling a bit Christmas'd out at the moment. I love decorating for Christmas but also the fresh neat feel when it is all put away too.
Hugs

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is such a pretty card, I will watch the video later, looking forward to that.
Pam I reiterate all you have said, I know that I would be honoured if any of my family asked me to do wedding invitations, so if you do get asked I know yours will be magnificent. Watch this space.
There are expected very high winds up in the North and Scotland and Northern Ireland later today so batten down the hatches and stay in the warm.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue
Happy New Year to you Sue and everyone on the blog! It's a lovely card today beautiful colour.

Hi Sue,
I think the hexagon shaped dies are one of your best "inventions", so useful and so versatile and such an eye-catching shape on a card even before we start to decorate it...I have some of them already, just need to collect the rest!..lol
Elaine, keeping fingers tightly crossed for Andrew, hope he starts his treatment again very soon...
Izzy
Good Morning Sue. Wowee love this card Sue and the colours. You know what. I have a set of hexagon..... no problem there..... only yesterday did I purchase the pinwheel flowers die..... can you believe that. I bought it out of the Christmas money gift from my line dancers. So I am on the way to recreating your card with maybe a little change here and there. The video is great ... you make things so easy for us Sue
Pam if you are asked to do the invites you will be so proud. I did two wedding orders in 2017 one was for 28th Dec. And the other was 31st Dec. So both events were just recent. Ohhh how proud I was when the customers came to collect them. They were over the moon with them and this made my day that they were so happy. So I think I know how you would feel. Best Wishes to all.
Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
.....Ding Dong!...doorbell just rang...big, heavy box...must be my new Platinum inside, haven't opened it yet...but I know exactly what I'll be doing today!!!

Thanks for the video!
Morning Sue and everyone.
Gorgeous card and I do love the Hexagon shape but have not bought any
yet because I find them a bit too big. I know I don't need to use the
big ones but it would be nice if a smaller version would come out for
us who are making smaller cards. Sorry Sue, I do love the cards though
and thank you for your great tutorial videos !
Jackie- I feel for your daughter as I too have Fibromyalgis from an
early age and it seem to get worse by each year going. Hope she feel
better when the sun comes out and the warmer weather is here again.
Give her a hug from me x
Pam- congratulations to you daughter ! Hope you have a good day at
work but do take it easy x
Elaine- you take care and make sure you looking after yourself. Hope
Andrew is ok for tomorrow so he can start the treatments, hugs to you all x
Donita- you are in my thoughts. Many hugs x
Marie- hope you ok and enjoy some crafting again x
Wheelybad- hope to see you again soon and to anyone else missing
I hope you are ok and just busy with life.

Beautiful card, the colours are just right for me, I will watch the video later.
It is time to put Christmas back in its box, it is a job I don’t like doing, everywhere looks so bare after the tree comes down.
It is raining very heavily here to day but at least it is not so cold as it has been.
Take care everyone, Jess xx

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and I love teal and white. With some adjustments for the dies I don't yet have I think I could make something similar. I have only had a little play so far with my new Noble Hexagons but I know already that they will become firm favourites. Good video and thanks for the tip on getting a stitched border.
Izzy - enjoy your new machine.
Elaine - please try and get some rest, you will be of no use to Andrew if you are exhausted.

Hi Sue

Margaret
Hello Sue
These hexagon dies are perfect they have to be my new favourite shape they make spectacular cards.
Pam I got into card making when my daughter couldn't find any wedding invitations she liked and ended up making the place names and menus as well it saved a fortune.
Elaine of course you are worried but you are not in the best of health yourself your GP may be able to help.I will have everything crossed tomorrow for Andrew..Special huggles for Donita and Rosemary and an extra special huggles to Andrew.
A selection of cards yesterday, now a beautiful card today in one of my favourite colours, what a wonderful start to the New Year.
The more I see of the hexagons the more I Need them. While I liked them when they first came out I didn’t think they were a necessity but I am loving the cards you are making with them &I also like the idea of making a shaped card so they are now at the top of my list! Thank you Sue!
Gorgeous colors! This is a breathtaking card and I love the sentiment! TFS!
Hi Sue
Brilliant start to the New Year with this beautiful card!!! I look forward to seeing all the wonderful cards, dies & inspiration you’ll bring to us over the coming year!!!
Much love

Thank you for the great video and for this gorgeous card, the double stitched hexagons are my new favourite dies and I have been making a few frames with them. I must try to make a card like this
Izzy have fun with your new Platinum
Elaine will be keeping my fingers crossed for Andrew tomorrow, hugs for you all.
Sending love and hugs to everyone

Truly stunning card. The hexagon dies were to a Christmas present from my husband but they were out of stock so I still have another week to wait for them. I’ll then play to my hearts content!

I am excited about this morning's card. I have all the dies and a video to show me how. thank you, Sue.
I woke up to 13 degree temp here in SC. Very cold and has been for several days so of course the blower motor on our furnace went out Saturday night. We have space heaters on all over so OK for now. My furnace man is supposed to get the part today I hope (if it is in stock) so maybe we will have real heat later. My little dog and I are bundled up and keeping warm for now but I can't really get into my card making as that part of the house is shut off and too chilly to be comfortable. I have electricity, thankfully. I really feel for the homeless in this weather. I hope everyone gets to a shelter. This is very cold weather for SC but at least no snow. Sorry to complain as I think everyone is getting this Arctic Blast now.
Pam, I bet you will be making invitations soon. Lots of fun and congrats to your daughter. Elaine, I am thinking about you and Andrew. The best wishes for all to be better. Donita, Pam has already sent the Cadbury truck...good medicine.
Izzy, you go have a play for me too. I have new SW dies that I am itching to try and more coming today. Santa Baby was good!
Love to all,

Hi Sue and everyone
A gorgeous card today, so pretty. Looking forward to watching the video soon.
A belated Happy New Year to Sue and everyone. Sorry it’s late, just been unwell. Started my cold/ cough in November and I’m still feeling terrible. Can’t believe how hard it is to shift. Hubby still ill too. Thank you for all the get well comments, thank goodness for them or I’d be even worse!! Hubby was touched when I told him we’d both been sent get well messages on the blog.
Just looked through previous posts, though still,not caught up on all comments, the orphan cards were nice, my favourite was no 4. Don’t think it should have been in there really. As for Sues favourites of the year. I loved the first one and the humming bird one, I liked all of them except the grungy style two but that’s just because I’m not keen on grunge.
Thank you Sue for another year of great cards and for hosting such a kind, caring and informative blog and for all the great samples and videos and tips. Not to mention designing such brilliant Dies!
Pam, congratulations to your daughter. I’m sure you’ll find a nice hat or maybe go for a fascinator. X
Elaine, so sorry Andrew is not great, sending positive hugs so he can start his treatment tomorrow. X
Donita, sending hugs to you too. X
Sorry for long post x
Love Helen xxx
Hello Sue.
Stunning card. I love the hexagon dies, the beautiful flowers and the darker colour. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Dear Sue and Crafty Companions,
The whole time I watched your video I kept thinking, I could do that. And it's stunning!
Congratulations Pam on the engagement of Kelly and Brian, and thanks for the Cadbury lorry!
Elaine, sending you love and peace. Healing to Andrew's well-behaved cells.
Thank you everyone for caring so much and so well for anyone who's hurting.
I have a day of furious packing, cleaning and die cutting ahead. Has anyone ever brought a Cuttlebug on an airplane? I might try to take it in a checked bag. Hope they don't confiscate it as a bomb. Who ever heard of a bomb with a crank handle?
Speaking of which, congratulations on your new Grand Caliber handle, Maria, and on your new Platinum mangle, Izzy. (Thanks for the explanation.)
much love,
Donita
Lovely card today. Thank you for the video. I never tire of watching you create inspiring me all along the way through the video.

Hi Sue, Beautiful card, love Jean Z xxxx
Hi Sue, Love the floral decorations. I must admit that I hesitated when you introduced the hexagon dies as I didn't know if I would get value for money from them. But, how wrong was I? You have given us such a lot of inspiration so they are now a "must have". Thank you, this is such a lovely card. Hugs xx Pauline xx
Hi Sue this is a stunning card I love it. Those dies are gorgeous and I love the colours you have used. You are right this design is very adaptable. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Thanks, Sue for another stunning card and the colours are so lovely.
Beautiful card. I like the sharpness of the teal and white.
I was lucky enough to receive the Noble Hexagons as a Christmas present from a lady up the road whom you and I know well and I look forward to using them.So, more inspiration with these would be appreciated please!!!

Hi Sue,
Back to normal: one card per day and back to work. I love your card more than my first day after this mini vacation. If only my day had been as easy as yours when you made that card. At least at the end of a gray day I can enjoy your great video and relax a little. Thank you for this cheerful card and the beautiful design.
Pam - Congratulations to you daughter! How was your first day at work?
Helen Bell - Hope you and your hubby feel a little better every day. Take care.
Deb E Isle of Wight -That makes two of us!
Maria, Izzy, Ann T., Pussycats, Tressa - Enjoy your new toys.

PP - Good to see you back. How is our friend?
Myra - Where are your friends Saba and Maureen?
Donita - A special hug for you.
Elaine - You won't be able to help Andrew if you don't take care of yourself. Hope Andrew will be able to have his treatment tomorrow. Hugs for you all.
Warm hugs from cold Toronto to you all,

Good morning to all. I always feel I should be apologising for being late with my comments
but as I've said before I always get the blog 1 day late.
Sue,this card is absolutely stunning and if I could see well enough to drive I would be on my way to be spending more of my children's inheritance. lol.
I really should be sorting out my craft room right now as I have a very old friend coming for a visit at 11 this morning. As soon as I saw that there was a video today I forgot all about cleaning up. I just love your video's and could watch them all day.
Thank you for your comment Maria and yes, I will be back to crafting later today I hope.
More tomorrow.
Marie P.
Hi SUE
