Colourful Spring Card
Hi bloggers! I just love this bright springtime card and it is so easy to achieve too! The best thing about it is that it only uses a single die set!
The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue, this card is really lovely, the colours are beautiful, and the background is just perfect for the die cut element. Off to watch the video. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Morning Sue. What a happy colourful sample that I'm sure I've seen you demo on HOCHANDA, forgive me if I'm getting mixed up with a similar kind. This must show just how versatile this die is as a stand alone die or one that can be snipped here and there to show it in a different light. This is on my very very long list of needs but as Fathers day is fast approaching your new Pressed Shirt is hopefully on its way for when I feel like crafting again to prepare for the May market. Will enjoy watching the Sue Wilson way with a large hot milky and cinnamon coffee later. Thanks for starting our day with another smile xxx
Good Morning Sue and all Beautiful card this morning . I remember your doing this card on hochanda and I remember thinking how I different style it is from you . I love the colours and details from the stamps and the die cut. Crafty hugs and well wishes to all..... Wendy
OMG what a pretty card Sue and tutorial too, love it. Have a great day. Off to watch tutorial. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes What a beautiful card today love this card when you demonstrated it on Hochanda its so cheerful with the colour and love the background you made with the flower stamp.
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx#
This is the die that started the January die release launch - I loved it so much that I had to have it, not only is it perfect for a quick one-die card but also has plenty of snippability potential...it was well worth the investment...
Morning Sue, a lovely bright spring like card to start the day. Makes you feel happy so off for an hour's walk and will watch the video on my return. Hugs xx Pauline
Good Morning Sue. What a refreshing spring or summer looking card. And very versatile as it can be used for any occasions by changing the sentiment. As usual you have given us a video that's easy to follow......and with all those little tips that make so much difference you have made it simple enough for the new card makers as well as the experienced ones. Beautiful work Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Good Morning, Sue I love the colourful background you have created with the stamped flower. It goes very well well with your beautiful die and your lovely choice of colours. A beautiful card! Lesley S x
A bright, cheerful card which I saw you demo on HOCHANDA & you made it look very quick & easy. Unfortunately don’t have this die, on the list but been pushed further down since your latest release! I like the way you can alter the look by snipping into it. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue What a great die set and card. Love the colours you’ve used on this card. Missed the last couple of days but love both cards that you’ve made. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful card Sue x i love the stamping and the colours are gorgeous x the die is fantastic and it was seeing this card that ' made' me purchase it x Thankyou Sue x Take care everyone x Theresa w in Berks xxx
Amazing how you can coordinate the frame and the focal element by using the same Distress colors. Once you showed this, I went looking for the journaling stamps, and I love them! They just look so delicious in those colors. And the glitterbitz adds another layer of wonderful.
Once again, your video is fun and helpful.
I was recently working with some Spellbinder dies, and compared to your dies, the Spellbinders seem dull. Yours really bite in and cut clean and sharp, even the really intricate ones.
Hi Sue, I fell in love with this card and die on the launch way back in January. I watched the video as soon as it was available and also enjoyed your demonstration on Hochanda. The die has been at the top of my list since then and I am hopeful that I will very soon be able to reduce the list by a few, the trouble is the list just keeps getting longer and longer with each new release :-).
Carmen-Dorothy - thinking of you and your fellow Torontonians in the aftermath of yesterday's tragedy. :-(
Hi Sue this is a stunning card it is just so pretty. I love those bright fresh colours and the dies are amazing. I am going to watch the video right now. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hello Sue and all Like others I fell in love with this set and card in the release and had to have it !! So glad I did it is so pretty. My grand daughter was here today and back tomorrow - she loves my craft room and although only 8 she is so careful with everything and loved making cards with me- she loves the city skyline and glitter on the stained glass - hopefully building some great skills and memories. Hugs Muriel x
A lovely spring card today. Lovely, especially as Spring seems to have disappeared again. Good that it uses only one die set, but the die set is versatile and can be snipped into to create different types of cards.
This was the inspiration for my Mother's Day cards. I made four already I was so excited to use the die! Love the coloring with the Distress Oxides. Easy and beautiful. I did make my versions smaller as they will go in the mail. Everyone, have a wonderful day, Stephanie K SC/USA
A lovely spring type card anyone would be pleased to receive. This frame die of yours is one of my favorites; and it resides in my Sue Wilson collection of dies, stamps and embossing folders. Great video. Thank you for sharing.

Lovely card Sue, and also very timely because it is 21C here today!!!! Love the colors you have chosen, love how the glitter softens the background. Especially love the focal die as I have a robin hanging out in my back yard!!!!
