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

Morning Sue.
A very pretty card thank you.
I may copy this one today.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
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
Morning Sue, a pretty card this morning, love the dimension of the focal element. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

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!

Another simple but so effective card. Love the way you have made the focal point, so clever. Thank you Sue.
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.
Lisbeth

card with a pop of colour.
Stay safe,

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.

Hi Sue, a very clever card and I love just the little touch of colour.
Frances
Very pretty and a great technique for us today.

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

A clever idea using the scalloped squares in that way and a very pretty card!
What a gorgeous card. Love the dies used. Hugs ELF 2 xxx
Just a hint of colour, so beautiful....luv Ursula xx
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.
Stay safe and healthy.

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
Beautiful card. You teach us something all the time, and I am grateful. Using the scalloped squares to make a snowflake is very clever! Hugs.

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 👏
