Hello crafters! Today's card uses up some of the little bits left over from some caught in crystal technique, waste not want not, right? I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card using the
Tulip Twist embossing folder. Next I cut the
Hexagonal Border die in black and cut away the side scallops using my paper cutter. I glued it to the lower portion of the card. Next I cut the
Rose Flower Square in white and attached it to a white backing with a piece of
sticky adhesive sheet attached. I cut it again using my left over caught in crystal (
yellow and red crystal tints an some
gold holographic glitter added to it). I paper pieced the rose with the pieces. Next I cut the die in a small bit of green pixie powdered piece to get the leaf area. I paper pieced that into place. I sprinkled
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz into the remaining exposed adhesive areas, added a thin black mat and then a slightly larger
Double Stitched Square mat. I added it to the top of the card with foam. I cut the Just Because sentiment in black and glued it below the border. White and Black card mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Such a beautiful,bright card card to start the day. A wonderful way to use up some of those bits and pieces of card you have made.
Hello Sue, this card is just awesome, love the paper pieced effect, always so interesting and tactile. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Hi Sue. This is absolutely gorgeous. I was so lucky to be chosen to receive this die at launch, for a tiny die it packs in so much beauty, as yet I've not made a card but cut several in different colours and lots of white to go with my Pixie backgrounds, so I look forward to seeing if I can create something to be proud of. Looking forward to the 24th too ☺
Have a lovely day whatever your plans xxx

Hello Sue and all
How effective is the caught in crystal technique on this pretty rose ? Of course some pixie powders to finish off and my latest purchase, that oh so versatile border. Lovely card, great inspiration

WOW such a beautiful card this morning and I love the sunshine colours. The caught in crystal works beautifully on the design of the card and the hint of black makes the card pop.

Hi Sue,
A beautiful rose from a beautiful lady. The caught in crystal technique that you have used for the rose makes it look real. The colors are beautiful and the Glitterbitz just show it off perfectly. I love the octagonal border and have used it numerous times. It looks great cut down as you have shown hear. Another winner.
Have a great Saturday. I'm waiting for the snow to arrive this afternoon.

Good Morning Sue. You are amazing. Every morning I sit here with my cuppa and open up my tablet..... first page is yours....and I am never disappointed......today is no exception. Beautiful card Sue. I have not tried the caught in crystal technique yet.... must give it a go. Thankyou so much Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Gorgeous card to brighten this dull day. Hugs Bernie xxx
Hello Sue this card is beautiful. I love how you've used left over pieces to create a lovely rose. I really should use by leftover cardstock, bits from die cutting etc more. So guilty of putting them in a large bag and not searching through!! Xx
Hello Sue
I think it is about time I tried this “caught in Crystal technique”. I have admired the effect it gives for a long time now so I really must give it a go!!
This is a lovely card to brighten this dreary day!

Hi Sue, lovely card and I have just bought the border die. love Jean Z xxx
Good morning Sue,
A truly beautiful card today with your caught in crystals technique. This card certainly brightens your day.Yvonne xx
Lovely clean and simple card. Well, perhaps the caught in crystal isn’t quite so simple so, perhaps, the word should be unfussy.
Teresa
gorgeous colour Sue and a very beautiful card

Lovely and bright and a great way to use up the bits...
A great way of using scraps of caught in crystal and PP
Something I’m going to have a go at
Hi Sue,
Lovely and elegant - and reminding us that BITS ARE NOT TO BE THROWN AWAY...............
I've seen your new dies - they are fabulous - can't wait to see what you do with them.........
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, a lovely card and a great way to use up some of those scraps that we all have and forget to use :-) I love the flower squares and now that I can put Christmas aside for a while I am looking forward to trying out different styles with them. Today's card has certainly given me some ideas to work with, thank you.

Hi Sue,
Just catching up with the last few days cards now that we've arrived in S.A. I love using your dies which lend themselves to paper piecing as I'm never happier using up my bits and pieces of card. Your stained glass effect boat die I've used for every male's birthday card for the coming year.
Having seen this gorgeous card today,has given me an idea for a few of my female friends. So, Thank you. Hugs xx Pauline in SA
Beautiful card with a lovely splash of colour.
