Hi crafters!  I love the flower square dies and that there are so many beautiful ways to use them!  Paper piecing is one of my favourite ways and these are just perfect for it too! The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x  7 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x                                                       Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Birthday card

I call this "doing the Ctorina".......LOL. The border is punched with a punch sent to me by the talented and lovely Anne Ryan. Thanks sweet girl.

Hi Bloggers. As promised, I have a sneak peek for you today from tomorrow's shows. The show is mainly a die based show featuring some lovely new dies from Couture Creations. They work well on their own and with other dies you may already have in your stash. Here's today's card - For the background, I ran a piece of Milk Card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Irish Clubs Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design. I rubbed Enchanted Gold Gilding Wax over the surface. The corners are cut from the Couture Creations French Frame Die. The die looks like this -   So, for the corners, I cut 4 French Frames and trimmed them down keeping just the ornate section of each one. I stamped the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Sue's Decorative Frames from the Italian Collection. I cut a Couture Creations Cappuccino Die out of Black Card. I tied a bow using Black/Ivory Striped Grosgrain and added a Black Organza Ribbon Rose. I assembled the card as shown adding a Cream 8mm Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Ivory PVA around the edges. I have listed all of the sample packs I have so far on ebay. The first 7 packs have been sold and have raised over £40 for The Teenage Cancer Trust. I chuffed to bits that they have been so popular. 12 packs selling this week, then I'll pop some more on after I've been away with Sue. Thanks for stopping by. Julia.
