Make A Wish

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of white card and embossed it with the Stripes embossing folder for texture in the background.  Next I cut the Noble Scalloped Squares in sequential sizes out of white card.  I alternated them to form an interesting focal element for my sentiment and added it with mounting foam to the top of the card.  I cut a strip of the pink striped paper from the Dots 'N Stripes Paper Pad to use as a border below the focal element.  Using the Pinwheel Floral die set, I cut two flowers out of the matching pink polka dotted paper from the pad and used it as an outline for the solid white flowers.  I attached the two flowers on the left side of the border and added some white leaves as accents.  I cut the Make A Wish sentiment in black and added it to the centre of the focal element.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

Oh wow I absolutely love this Sue, such a clever design how come you've not thought of this before lol at first I thought 'ha there's the grosgrain ribbon' then you completely fooled me with your adorable paper pad which I'm not buying because I still have every single sheet from your first paper pad and I've not finished stroking that one yet.
Have an enjoyable day everyone keep safe xxx

Good morning Sue
Wow! Today’s card is so pretty! I thought it was a new die I hadn’t seen and was surprised it was the scalloped squares! As I’ve just received this die set guess what I’ll be trying out later lol!

Hello Sue,
I remember this sample being shown on the January release blog and thought it was so pretty then and I still do. So clever to use the scalloped squares in this way

Hi Sue. When I first saw this card I couldn't remember seeing a star die and then after I read the description of how you made the card I had to laugh at myself. What a really clever idea. Love the card.

Hi Sue
The easy and simple cards are always so much more interesting this card is gorgeous l think because the layers of your pinwheel dies that really given it that gorgeous effect.

Love the way in which your eyes are drawn to the scalloped squares immediately, instead of the flowers, which so often become the focal point of lots of cards. But, I do like them especially with that 'pop' of colour.I

I remember this card from January release. The offset scalloped squares remind me of a snowflake or a star. So pretty.

Hugs from Toronto to you all.

Wow! Beautiful card what a clever way to use square dies I don't think I would have realised grey were squares without reading your commentary

Hi Sue and everyone, sorry so late today. I really need to sort out my reminders. I've been gone so long and now they don't pop up to remind me in the morning ggrrr.
Anyway I'm here now 🤪 at first I too thought it was a big snowflake ❄ so could also be used for Christmas. I thought you were starting very early this year Sue.
It is a very beautiful and unique card. I love dies that than be used for more than one occasion.
Bravo 👏
Hugs

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
