Hello there my crafty friends! Welcome to day two and we are starting out with another new concept idea. We are showcasing the first of two sets from our Finishing Touches collection. Introducing the Beautiful Blossoms die set. These sets have been designed with a floral arranging them in mind. Have you ever cut flowers from your garden and brought them in to display them in a nice vase? Well in that same sort of manner, these dies give you all the flowers, the vases or baskets and the accent foliage to make lovely arrangements. Even if you have never been able to make your flowers look like a florist did them, these dies take all the work out of it for you! Shown here, you can see a modern look with a black gloss flat vase and it only takes a few different elements to make it work beautifully! Go ahead and add your name and comment to the post so you are sure to be entered into this drawing. I will return at noon for the next set to share with you. All for now. Sue x

I'm speechless. Absolutely speechless. My 6pm post was spot on, I've not seen any previews of this new collection but just after day one something told me we were in for a treat and I wasn't wrong, this set is gorgeous and if I never ever make another card again I will add these to my collection just in case I'm called on. If this is the first preview of our day I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. Duvet day and launch - bring it on xxxx
What a fab idea. Being able to build your own arrangement. So many possibilities with this set as it has so many dies. Love it

This die set offers so much to the crafter with lots of arrangements possible. I’ve loved Sue’s Finishing Touches line for a long time and this set expands it further. The cad is simple but the flowers make a statement.

I love the card you made using this Beautiful Blossoms die set. What I like the most about this set is that the flowers are not overpowering but rather fit into a nice natural looking setting. I did not see the Sending Hugs die and shadow with this set. Where does one get that? Another set many crafters will want in their collections.
Hi Sue,
What a wonderful collection of flower arranging elements.
