Hi bloggers! This is probably my favourite card showing the
Summer Rose Frame die without any alterations to it. I started by cutting the
Diamond Squares background die in a piece of coconut white card, extending it slightly to create a rectangular shape. I added a white backing card behind it and then glued pearls into each of the corners. I cut the
Summer Rose Frame twice, once in a dark green for the leaves and to use as my base and the second time out of a deep dusty rose colour for the flowers. I cut the flowers away and glued them to the green version. I glued the entire frame to a piece of coconut white card and added a thin pink mat. The entire piece was added with foam to the centre of the background card. I cut the larger of the two frames that come with the
Summer Rose Frame die set out of a piece of coconut white card with a piece of
sticky adhesive sheet attached to it. Next I cut the two frames together several times to make a thin frame that I could stack several times to build up some dimension. I peeled the sticky backing sheet off and added the frame to the edge. I cut the sentiment die out of pink card that comes with the set and added it to the centre of the sticky area within the frame, then sprinkled
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz over the remaining adhesive areas. I added the frame in the centre of the card with foam mounting pieces. White on white mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue. Lovely card. Sue xxx
Pretty card i really like the pierced background too xx
Love the background Sue.
Dont laugh but this looks like you have iced it to me, you know like on a cake so maybe if I used some of that air-dried clay with these dies it might work. See you have my mind crafting already and now I have to go work, shucks. Gorgeous card Sue and just love the debossing / embossing . Have a great day. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GM Sue. Very lovely.
Happy Friday Sue. You have given us some gorgeous samples this week and so much inspiration and lovely ideas and today's sample is no exception. I love how this die embossed into the card to give the prettiest of corners. You have shown us that it takes just one die to give someone a very special card, thank you.
I see you got over the 100 hundred mark in Wednesday Sue, if only EVERY DAY was the same as it use to be.
Sending love and hugs your way xxx
Good morning Sue,

Morning Sue
Beautiful. The Summer Rose frame is gorgeous. As soon as I saw you playing with this on HOCHANDA I fell in love with it x
I was over the moon to receive the last One Day Special from the boys for Mothers Day. The packaging is still intact - may have to rectify this situation - housework can wait x
After my initial confusion (caused by the official HOCHANDA e mail), I now know that Julia will be playing with your dies (amongst other things) today. Any show with your dies in is compulsive viewing x
OK folks looks like a sunny day ahead. Perfect for the first line of washing in 2018 to make an appearance - fingers crossed x
Lots of love to all specially missing friends x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow this is gorgeous, the crispness from all the dies shows up so clearly especially with the veins on the leaves, and the background dies, I have that and it is as good as it looks on here too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Very pretty I do like the concept of these layered dies
Hi Sue - this is such a pretty card and I especailly like all the detail on the leaves and the beautiful centrepiece. Sending best wishes

A pretty card.
Good Morning Sue. Lovely offering from you this morning Sue. I love roses and I know you haven't used it on today's card but the bed of roses is still my favourite embossing folder. I would have preferred the roses to be white being a Yorkshire girl lol. But yes most people consider red for this beautiful flower. We have yet another wet dark foggy miserable morning again here in Leeds. Please roll on Summer. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Fantastic card great colours. Laura O Springfield
Hi Sue,
Clean, simple and so very pretty - and I must admit that the Diamond Squares background die is really growing on me, it's just moved up the wish list...

Love always sue
June Horrocks xxxxxxxxx
Hi Sue, Lovely card. love Jean Z xxx
Roses are the ultimate flower, but they don"t appeal to me in papercrafting at all.
Congratulations, June, on your 60th anniversary. If he gave you a beautiful ring, I can guess how it has lasted this long.
I bet the queen didn't make the card she sent.
Going to try to catch Hochanda.
Wishing you all a happy weekend.
Best,
Donita
Good morning Due
Today's card is so pretty! I love the deep rose colour card you've used for the roses. How have I missed this background die? It's beautiful I must search it out.

Hugs, Rose
Hello Sue,
What a lovely card! It’s so pretty and I particularly like the Embossing Folder - the detail is amazing. It’s a real Sue Card!
June Horrocks - Many Many Congratulations on reaching your 60th Wedding Anniversary! What a lovely kind husband you have. I had to laugh at Donita saying HM didn’t make the card! It must be lovely to get one though!
Pat L - did you think the Romans had got me at Hadrian’s Wall!! They left a wee while ago! Lol!

Hi Sue, a very pretty card and the amount of detail on the rose die is amazing, I love the Diamond Squares background die peeking out from behind too.
June H - I had the date marked on my calendar but was in such a rush yesterday that I missed it! Huge Congratulations and belated Happy Anniversary to you and your husband (I think that he is the diamond lol). Happy that you had a good day.

Very pretty, I bet if the ridges on the roses were lightly 'frosted' with something like wax or glitter kiss they'd really pop!
Morning Sue, not surprised you like this card, its very striking.

Hi Sue
I also really love this die....what a beautiful card!! I use this die so often!! A cheeky ask....but I would love to see more inspiration for the beautiful flora die! I’ve looked online and on Pinterest...but not much out there...it’s so lovely, but I’m sure you would have much more imagination with it than I have....even if you could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!
Much love

Lovely card Sue, I love the roses & I really must get the background die. Oh dear, another one for my wish list
Beautiful card Sue!
As someone has already said it looks like icing on a gorgeous cake.
This is so beautiful and I love the colored die cuts with that white background. The diamond square background adds wonderful texture but lets the rose frame shine!
Hello Sue, lovely card, the rose is lovely.

Beautiful card Sue!! I love that die! It's so elegant and pretty.
Hello Sue,
What a lovely card today, so crisp and bright against the white background. The Diamond Pierced Squares is a fabulous die. I have used it numerous times.
Congratulations June and your husband and your 60th anniversary. What a milestone.
Have a wonderful day.

Pretty card. As others have said it looks like the top of a beautifully iced cake. The Diamond Squares background die is so effective here.
June, congratulations to your and your husband on your Diamond Wedding Anniversary yesterday. Hope you had a wonderful day. Donita and Crewe Trish made me smile. Now I can't stop picturing the Queen cutting out Sue's dies to make a card for you.
Take care everyone.
What a beautiful card Sue. I do wonder at times where you get all your inspiration from. You are a very beautiful lady and kind too.
Very belated congratulations on your 60th.June.
Have a great weekend.
I tried watching Hochanda on my PC yesterday thinking you were going to be demonstrating Sue.
Unfortunately I was wrong and I couldn't follow the dialog as the demonstrators were talking too fast for me to follow.
Happy weekend to all.
