Hi crafters! I have a milk and black birthday card with a great sentiment to share today! I started by cutting the
Squared Square die out of black card and glued a milk backing which was covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I coated it with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz for a bit of bling to the background. The next layers was the smaller die in the set but cut in milk card and backed with black, then I used the
Double Pierced Squares to cut it into a frame. I added it with foam to the card. I cut another one just like it but smaller. I added foam to the back then seated it in a diamond orientation in the card. I cut the smallest die and added it to the very centre. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the
Pierced Flag die and seated it across the centre of the card. I used the
Starlight Daisies to make three different sized flowers out of milk card. I seated one at the end of the flag and the other two across from it. Milk and black mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a lovely card, such pretty flowers.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Great card Sue.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I like this sentiment, certainly different, and I know many of my friends who would appreciate it, such a lovely creation too using your lovely dies, must try this one.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June smith xxx
Hi Sue. This kind of design is timeless if that makes any sense. When you first launched your American dies there were quite a few cards and samples where the same two dies were used, 1 placed as a square, the 2nd placed with a corner pointing to the middle of the card almost giving the diamond effect and I still love using those dies in that design as they are so detailed and full of interest. This sample pops with the black and milk but the whole design is just perfect and one that I know a lot of us will carry on using for quick but very effective cards, you must have given us hundreds of dies by now that we can use to make this diamond shape design and i thank you for that as its such a help for when our grey matter temporarily shuts down (as mine does often) !!
ReplyDeleteSending hugs for the day xxx
Fabulous Sue. This is a great die, always looks good on ‘guy cards’.

I don't have the squared square dies...... yet...... but..... they are on a list for later..... birthday in a couple of months.

Lovely card and love the sentiment too - will have to remember to tell my son that one
ReplyDeleteHugs Helen xx
Love, love, love!
ReplyDeleteLove the sentiment. We need that!
Love the squared, diamond, squares.
Especially love how the smallest box seems to put the sentiment on a movie marquis.
Love the flowers.
Okay maybe not so wild about the black. Okay, maybe it works. What about silver, black and red?
What about blue and gold and white?
Or reddish gold and a deep mahogany brown? With gilding flakes instead of glitterbitz.
Anyway, this one’s a winner!
Thank you for shooting ideas at us so faithfully that one or two might stick, and for providing us with a search feature to look up the instructions again.
Rock on!

Morning Sue,

ReplyDeleteGM Sue. Fab card. I love this die. It's a fave.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteClassic and very stylish - this would make a great template to save and use as inspiration for both male and female cards, just making a few changes here and there to suit the recipient...so thank you for that

ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely card, where have those flowers
come from, can't remember seeing them before??

Hello Sue such a lovely card and so useful for lots of birthdays. The daisy dies add a real feminine touch, but take them off and so suitable for a male card. Always find male cards difficult just not sure why though X
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteFantastic card this morning using Squared square dies. I love the design and the finishing touches with flowers. Perfect card for the ladies and the men.
Crafty hugs and well wishes to all.... Wendy
Good morning Sue nd everyone
ReplyDeleteI love today’s card When I first saw it I thought you had used a gold and black card I think gold and black would work perfectly with this design. I have that sentiment stamp and have used it a few times love it
I think yesterday was the first and will probably be the last time I commented first on the blog. Lol 😝
Have a wonderful day Sue
Take care folks

Hi Sue, a lovely card. Very striking and elegant in the off white and black. A great sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, so elegant!
ReplyDeleteLovely classy, elegant card, as usual, but I love black & white (or in this case milk, but in some pics looks white!) So you just couldn’t fail with this one. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Love the simple geometric design and the monochromatic colours. Great one for the guys (if you use something else instead of the flowers)

ReplyDeleteA great card. I love black and white. The perfect contrast. The sentiment is spot on and everyone appreciates it.

Hi Sue, a great card and a design that would look good in many other colours too. The openness of the Starlight Daisies reflects the open squares brilliantly. Omit the flowers and you have a super masculine card or even one for those that don't like frills and flounces (silly people lol).
ReplyDeleteFrances
Hi Sue this is a gorgeous card I just love those dies. Take care. Hugs Jackie
