The More Candles, The Bigger The Wish
Hello bloggers! I am in love with this All In One die set so I just wanted it to have a day on the blog (apart from the launch!) I started by embossing a piece of white card with the new Stripes Embossing Folder. I have got to say, this simple folder is fast becoming one of my favourites! Next I cut the backing piece out of Old Rose card and added it to the centre of the card with foam. I cut The More Candles All In One with a piece of white card on top of a piece of Arctic Blue card. The top white one cuts all the way through, but the blue card is more or less just the outline. I glued the white cut out die to the blue backing piece and added it to the old rose backing already in the centre of the card. I cut the die two more times, once in powder pink and once in old rose. I used the fall away pieces of the powder pink and glued them back into the card in the banner, the stars and the cupcake. I nipped away the large words from the Old Rose die cut and glued them over the white lettering in the other die. I added some glitter to the candle flames and the white stars for a bit of bling. The card was completed with white and old rose mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue
The colours that you have used are lovely. You are a ray of sunshine to brighten up another boring day. I am still in a lot of pain so unable to go for a walk and I dare not drive my car so the world just seems to passing me by.
Morning Sue,
This is a great die for men's cards in my opinion and we all struggle with those, I believe.
I do like the embossing folder too.
Thank you for sharing your lovely card.
Hugs xxx Pauline
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx
Hope you all have a good day and stay safe

Gorgeous card.

so very nice!
This is a very nice card with a die that makes the card. Nice, pleasing colors. New embossing folder
would be good for male cards also.
Everyone, have a great day,

Hi Sue,
Love this card. I think that the way you built up the card was great and will give it a try soon.

Hi Sue. As it is my birthday later on this week and I would have to have 62 candles on my cake, does this mean that I get quite a big wish?
I can understand why you like this die so much and I like how you have used it on this card by using so many different colours. It just goes to show how versatile these dies can be but you can also use them with less colours to make a really quick card too.
Lisbeth
Lovely card Sue, love the paper piecing that you did!!
I really like the colours and paper piecing on this card. X
Hi Sue
Your all in one dies make such lovely cards, I love the old rose and powder pink colours and that new embossing folder will be added to my collection very soon
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Hi SUE
I like ur thinking about a all in one as this is a very lovely card.
Owlish Xx
Pretty card and EF! I understand why the new Stripes Embossing Folder is becoming one of your favourites. The simplicity of its the design is perfect for almost any card, including for a male's card. All In One die collection is so useful and easy to use in so many different ways, including the paper piecing that you did. All in one, I love today's card.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

Hi Sue
Beautiful paper piercing with that beautiful die.
Hugs

I love this sentiment, I think I could use it for some of the men in my life who are a bit touchy about their age ha ha!
Good morning Sue,
I love the style of card and the colours you have used. I have just bought this embossing folder - I may need to get the die set too!
Just one other thing Sue, would you consider creating a nesting die set of the small scalloped and stitched edge like the one on here? I’ve been looking for a set like this after seeing the MFT designs. They’re sizes are quite small and I can’t find them available in the uk. Here’s hoping! ☺️
Have a great day,
Love, Julie x
