Hello crafters! I just love these flower square dies so I have loads of cards to share with you. I started by cutting the
Daffodil Flower Square out of white card, then attaching a piece of vellum to the back of it. I used a
Mustard Seed Distress marker for the flower and a
Forest Moss marker for the leaves and
Tumbled Glass for the background. I did the colouring from the back side of the attached vellum. I added a white backing too it then added mounting foam to the back. I cut a larger piece of coconut white card for the background, then cut the
Hexagonal Border out of white card. I put a dab of glue on to the back of all of the fall away pieces in the centre of the border while they were still in the border, then laid it on to the side of my white card and popped them out in the same configuration to create a unique border for my card. I attached the flower in the upper corner area and added a
shadowed Just Because to the lower corner. White and black mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue, such a lovely and happy card, the yellow Daffodil just makes you smile on a cold and frosty morning. Have a great day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a really pretty card. Everything just goes together so well and the daffodil gives such a cheery feel to the card.xx
ReplyDeleteNever would have guessed that was one piece of vellum colored yellow, green and blue flookingblike paper piecing!
ReplyDeleteAnd how inventive of you to use the hexagons themselves instead of the honeycomb! Bees can’t do that, even with a little dot of glue on each. Do you invent something new every day? Maybe a couple or three a week? While, unseen by us, you’re inventing the dies that’ll come along next. Or next after that.
I hope it staying new never gets old for you.
Yesterday the time change threw me off. We change next Sunday.
Oh yes, loved this card. My fav of the flowers in a frame, although I like the other’s. Justblike this one the most.
Best,
Donita
Lovely card. Daffodils are my favourite flower as they let me know spring is on its way. Love how you used the hexagonal border fall away pieces. Glad you said hw you did it as I imagined you putting each one into place!!!!!! Lol.

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a beautiful card.
Nothing goes to waste with crafting.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Beautiful,bright and cheerful card.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Sue, just what is needed on a dark cold morning xx hazel
ReplyDeleteHappy, bright and cheerful, what more do you need to start a new week. It's just beautiful Sue. I want to say "thank you" you've made so many talented crafters through designing your own brand of dies and although ill NEVER reach your standard or those lovely people I've connected with via facebook, people that visit market each month adore your dies too. I can now accommodate people that want to give cards to friends that own allotments which is so fun to see their expression when they see your barrow full of Veg lol they smile, I smile, so I hope this thank you makes YOU smile ☺ so maybe a greenhouse next ? That's one I get asked for such a lot. Hope you have a lovely day and keep warm xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely cheerful card Sue. Just perfect on this cold morning.

Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteLovely bright sunny card today, love the hexagonal pieces for the VERY unique border. Your imagination knows no bounds Sue, like most I would have been putting them on piece by piece and ending up with nothing like this.
Trying to finish up some cards I need to make today so that I can start playing with my latest release dies and EF tomorrow to do some cards I want to make, we are so lucky!

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, and thanks for the tip, it saves some time to make another card, as I have loads of your dies to choose from. Roll on spring!!
Hope that I can watch you on hochanda on Saturday on replay, as I haven't got the opportunity to watch you here and it'll be a joy to watch you create your magic.
Hugs, Rose
Love this card & the small flower square concept of all the dies. I’m into small square cards at present so this really fits the bill. Thanks Sue x

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful card. Fresh and pretty with the spring daffodil.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I think these flower squares are such a good idea as they are so versatile. You can easily make a smaller card using them or, as in your example, use them as a focal point on a larger card. Great.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely design and great idea to attach a piece of vellum to the back of the cut flower then to do the colouring from the back side of the attached vellum. I know you have used this technique before but I never tried.It is about time.

ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe daffodil is such a happy, bright and beautiful flower, a real harbinger of Spring. You have done her proud with your Daffodil Flower Frame. Your card is so fresh and clean and delightful. I love the Hexagonal Border but hadn't even thought about use the waste to make a border. Only someone as clever as you would do that.
