Supplies:
Love the ferns, any one would make me happy?
I would love to have the Glass
Hurricane Candle, the Daisies
and lastly the Entwined Circles!
It’s pretty impossible since I’d
love everything you have!!
Thx for sharing such amazing projects!!
??❤️??
My wish list would include everything but if
I had to chose, I’d like the Black eyed Susan,
Love in the Mist and the Maidenhair fern
❤️???
Thx for sharing! The projects are just
beautiful!!!
The maidenhair fern, berry branch, and black eyed Susan’s are my favorites. They remind me of my own garden.
First choice would be Dahlia 2, followed by the Ladder Fern & Ostrich fern which make beautiful backgrounds. I like the use of pan pastels to enhance the flowers!
I love the black-eyed susans in the crrate the best.
My best friends favorite flower is sunflowers and these
look so much like these. So pretty! Always looking for
new and creative ideas when I make her a birthday card.
I also like the berry branch card.
Beautiful cards. My favourite new stamp would be Love in a Mist.
I like the wood crate and love in a mist also black eyed susan the cards are beautiful
I like the Sending Hugs Kisses die!! Would use that a lot for just sending thinking of you cards.
It is a hard choice but I think the dahlias are a must have. Loving the crate too. but there are many uses for the berry branch too, I am thinking I need it to use as coral. Then who can’y use the ferns!
My first pick is the wood crate. Love them all!
I love them all and can’t pick just one to be t the top – except I know it would be a fern cause they go with everything!
I have quite a few of Susans flower dies, but I have been needing fillers. My top filler is the maidenhair fern.
Top of my list would be the Ostrich Fern
I really like the Glass Hurricane and Candle.
Oh goodness, I just love it all. haha I do really like the Love in the Mist a lot. I think that
would be t the top of the wish list.
I love the berry branch, maidenhair fern and the dahlia. Actually wish I could order them all. LOL
I love them all !!! But I have a soft spot for the Love in the Mist….this is so beautiful !!! 🙂
All the creations are so lovely! I am “dieing” to get my hands on the coneflowers, the maidenhair fern and the berry branch. Cone flowers are my favorite flower, and the maiden hair fern is my favorite fern!
i would love to own all of them, are just sweet dies.
I love the black-eyed susan’s. I think they look so real.
I have to admit, while I liked all of the new dies used in those beautiful cards, I did see some favorites! I especially liked the Hurricane Lamp & Candle die (how you say, beautiful Christmas cards!), and the Garden Notes Dahlia 2. Other things I liked included A Way With Words Sending Hugs & Kisses, Cornered, and Flower Lace 2. All EC products are spectacular as well as being superior in quality.
Oh what a tough choice – I love them all! But at the top of my list are the ferns – Ladder, Maidenhair and Ostrich. I have a number of the flower dies but no greenery except for the berry branch, which I use extensively. All of the design team cards are stunning, but I especially like Anita Kejriwal’s pink Dahlia card. Great designs Susan!
Oh so beautiful!!! I would have to choose the Garden Notes-Dahlia2. My sister’s name happens to be Dalia and this would be so perfect for her birthday card which is in December!
WOW!!!
Those cards are so beautiful, I really have to give it a try. I know with the help of the tutorials I should be able to make a flower (kind of look a like shape). On top of my list would be either the Dahlia (#2) or the Garden notes – Love in a Mist. But the others are not far behind, as are the other flower dies. Beautiful, wish there were more hours in a day and more days in a week!
I love all the garden dies. I have a few but want more of them. Start with the berrybranch and maidenhair fern.
My wish list is for the Love in a mist Flowers, quickly followed by the berries branch and all the ferns. Lets face it I want them all. If I had to choose a card , which is very difficult because they ale all beautiful, I think that Shalini’s card wins with the Blue flowers of the Love in a Mist.
This is so hard to choose. I love all three ferns and the Fruit Crate. All the designer cards are simply gorgeous! What a group of talented ladies!
Ready for Spring ??Love the flowers?
I just simply have to try each and every new flower that comes out, but was really excited about the new greenery.
I simply adore all of your dies and right now I would pick any of the new fern dies!
Well, there are soooo many things that I want from Susan’s garden’s that it is almost impossible to list them all. Pan Pastels of course is one of them, the new ferns, the hurricane lamp, the sunflower, the wooden crate, the Love in the Mist, and a few other flowers . There are so many it is hard to choose just one thing. Or yeah, the pollen is another things I want. I wish the Pan pastels weren’t so expensive. Love everything in this collection.
I own so many of the garden notes flower dies already it’s the greenery I don’t have. They make all the difference in the look. The ferns are stunning. I can’t wait to add them to my collection!
I love the Garden Notes – Black-Eyed Susan; Garden Notes – Ladder Fern; Garden Notes – Ostrich Fern; and Garden Notes – Berry Branch. Actually, they are all beautiful!
The products that I would like the most are: Little Words That Mean A Lot, Garden Notes – Ostrich Fern,
Garden Notes – Dahlia 2, Cool Diamond 1oz. – Silk Microfine Glitter, Susan’s Garden PanPastel Flower Coloring Kit 1, and Susan’s Garden PanPastel Flower Coloring Kit 3.
The Stylish Snowman and The tag pop up book are on my must have list!
On the top of my wish list is Garden Notes Dahlia 2. It is simply stunning in these examples you posted. Thank you everyone who created these to give us some great inspiration.
I would love to add the Berry branch, the new Dahlia, and the ferns and that is just for starters….
Love all of the dies. At the top of my list is dahlia 2 and maiden fern. The cards presented are just beautiful!
I have very few dies in my collection and would love any of the beautiful dies to make those gorgeous flowers and leaves. Thanks for the opportunity.
It is so unbelievable how much all the ferns and leaves make a difference . I love them all ! the Ladder fern, Maiden hair ,the Ostrich fern and Berry branch ! You’er Awesome Susan!
Love all of the new dies for sure. The top of my wish list are all of the ferns and the wonderful berries.
I just love all of them I love Dahlias. So beautiful on a card . The geometric background would be great in the micro fine glitter. I guess I have many favorites for my wish list.
Fabulous creations. My must have from the new items is the Black eyed Susan and the wooden fruit crate.
I absolutely adore all of Susan’s designs, but since I must choose only one I’ll pick the “Love in a Mist” (Nigella Damascena) die. It’s a slightly different shaped flower from anything I already have.
wow, I can’t wait to order the berry branch, maiden hair fern, and the ladder fern, got to have the black eyed susan as well. took a pic of some of the cards so I can make,what a bunch of talented people you have
I absolutely love the ferns. The ostrich fern is my favorite.
It’s great to see what the design team come up with for every designer challenge. I love their creativity! It’s a bit difficult for me to choose any of the new products from Susan’s Garden collection as I think I have bought them all! I am unashamedly a Susan’s Garden addict.
I have those pan pastels and use them constantly. Beautiful colors! My favorite products from this release are the Entwined Circles and the Stitched Squares. I could use those on a bunch of different cards! I’m always looking for something that goes with more than just one theme. Love all the new stuff!
My wish list is the fruit crate, the new paper packs and any and all flowers! I have a longer list but you only asked for 3. And all the cards are just beautiful!!!
My top 3 wish lost is the fruit crate , the new paper packs, and any all the flowers dies! I have a few more things I would love to have but you only asked for 3… LOL Beautiful carda
I love the crate, black eyed Susan and ostrich fern. The other new fern is tempting too. LOL Today’s cards are so beautiful.
Hmmm… I love ALL the new flowers and leaves but to start, I would pick the Dahlia 2 and Maidenhair Fern quickly followed by “Love in a Mist”, Black Eye Susan, Ostrich and Ladder ferns..
My three favorites for my wish list are the ladder fern, the ostrich fern, and the huricane lamp with candle.
Hmmm… I love ALL the new flowers and leaves but to start, I would pick the Dahlia 2 and Maidenhair Fern quickly followed by “Love in a Mist”, Black Eye Susan, Ostrich and Ladder ferns..
I had a hard job choosing between Love In a Mist and Dahlia 2 but I think the Dahlia won. These cards are so special.
I love the Dahlia 2 and the Blackeyed Susans…no really I like the ALL!!!
Hmmm…difficult to choose favorites. But I will say I just love the berry branch, birds and the Dahlia. No offense to the others – lol!
I love ALL of the flower dies–and you can’t have flowers without filler greenery! How does one choose from so many beautiful dies? I want them ALL! The new flower dies are awesome–Black-Eye Susan, the Dahlia, and I just have to have the Berries!
They are so beautiful that I cannot pick a favorite!
I am so loving the new flowers, especially the Garden Notes – “Love in a Mist” because of its unique shape. Lovely inspiration from such a talented group!
Amazing! Such beautiful flowers in every card. I want it all. Can’t wait to get Ostrich Fern, Hurricane Glass with Candle and ALL the flower punches. You are all so beautifully talented. Thank You So Very Much for sharing! 🙂
I was fortunate to buy the Maidenhair Fern, Love in a Mist, and Black-Eyed Susan, from the October scrapbook expo. Those were top on my list. But if I win, I’ll get the Dalia 2 to add to my collection. The flowers are so pretty. I’m not very good at making them yet, but it is very therapeutic to create with them.
Oh my, impossible to choose! The wooden fruit crate; berry branch; love birds and the dahlia. Had to redo this list because I just bought 4 items from the list .
Thank you so much for offering these products.
Rachel Jacques
I love them all but if I could only pick one it would have to be the new Dahlia, amazing. Giving my husband a rather large wish list for Christmas.
Oh! The wooden fruit case would be top of my list. So many ideas with that one. I have a ton of flowers that it would look great with!
I love all of them but Black Eyed Susan is my favorite, also Maidenhair fern. The Berry Branch is a winner too.
Thank you for my beautiful bouquet of flowers this morning. Loved the pink dahlia, that colour is so pretty. Top of my wish list would be the Black Eyed Susan die and the pan pastels. My wish list is quite long.
Anita and Shalini’s cards Really got my attention! Love the Pink Dahlias 2 and Blue Love In A Mist with Maidenhair Fern, Berry Branch, Ostrich Fern, Ladder Fern, titched Squares, Geometric Background, Flower Lace 2, Entwined Circles, Sentiments from Happines Comes From Within, and Little Words Mean A Lot. Both these Sentiments (Close To My Heart) Really Got My Attention! Absolutely LOVE these Beautiful Creative Works of Art by Anita and Shalini….Great Job….Well Done! Top Pick Susan’s Garden Release(s) Favorite Flowers Peony, Dahlias 2, Love In A Mist; Favorite Foliage Maidenhair Fern; Ostich Fern, Ladder Fern, Berry Branch. Hopeful being Blessed with ECD GC so I can add these favorites to my ECD arsenal to Create more Works of Art to continue my annual donate and give away Kindness Matters mission! <3
I have added Glass Hurricane and Candle, Ladder Fern and Ostrich Fern to my wish list. There are so many wonderful dies, sometimes it’s hard to choose. Thank you for the chance to win.
My top of the list would be the Dahlias, ladder ferns and the beautiful berries. I like flowers on paper but not in the garden cause I am allergic to them. So I like them on paper. Thanks for giving us a chance to win. Love it and thanks again.
My very first choice has to be Love in a Mist. Love this beautiful blue flower from Susan. I don’t think I have ever seen this in real life, but now I am going to look for it next spring. 🙂 The Ostrich Fern, ladder fern, Dahlia 2 and the Glass Hurricane and Candle are all vying for 2 and 3 choices. The Glass Hurricane and Candle would also make a great Christmas card with Christmas type greenery.
Thanks to all the ladies for their beautiful card examples. I really appreciate that they make these cards and show us how so we can try to make them too.
I love the Black Eyed Susans Die, those are some of my favorite flowers! Love the ferns too. All the cards are gorgeous! Your dies are the best! thanks so much for the chance!
Love the dallias with the crate. But love them all.
Oh My! So many beauties to choose from it is nearly impossible!! My favs though are the black-eyed susan, dahlia, and hurricane lamp and candle.
Dallia with crate. But love them all.
I really like the ferns and the black-eyed susan flowers and the sentiments are also great. THANKS
These are all gorgeous! My favorite is the Black Eyed Susan along with the crate. The beautiful Dahlia is my number 2.
I NEED all of these but my top three are: Dahlia 2, Love in the Mist and Maiden Hair Fern.
The designers have done a fantastic job showcasing these beautiful die cuts! TFS!

They are all wonderful. My choices are the Black eyed Susan, Dahlia, Ladder fern and the crate.
OH! Black Eyed Susan are my most favorite of flowers, this die set is a real winner. The team did a wonderfully beautiful job bringing out the glory of this flower. Thanks
Both of the fern dies are gorgeous but so are all the flowers. You make it very hard to pick. All of the card samples are to die for! Thanks for the inspiration & the opportunity to win!
I adore Black-Eyed Susans so that is my top pick, along with the Entwined Circles dies! All of the samples are just beautiful!
“Top of my wish list, huh?”
WOW?! They’re all beautiful!
I LOVE the black eyes Susan’s very much but I think my favorite has to be the Garden Notes Dahlia 2
I like Shalini’s card the best. I would choose the ferns for myself!
I am chomping at the bit, waiting to be able to get these dies. The ones I love best (but not exclusively) are the Dahlia 2, the Love in the Mist, and the Ostrich Fern. I’ve so enjoyed using other Susan’s Garden dies and have been amazed at the results. Well done!
Just love the Black eyed Susan and fern design. It’s so hard to choose just one, actually love them all.
Dahlia 2 and Love In A Mist are wonderful. So many color variations and combinations to create lovely cards.
My wish list is for all the new flower and fern dies.
Love all the cards that you all have made. They are soooo pretty.
Wow…what a selection of releases. Love in a mist would be my favorite for flowers and every single one of the fern dies for its compliment. Entire collection is gorgeous!!!
So much loveliness here, I am just starting my Christmas list as I am wanting to make cards with these beautiful flowers. First on my list is the ostrich fern and then the dalias and then the black eyed Susan’s.
I LOVE the new wooden crate … it is definitely at the top of my wish list. Next on that list is the Love in a Mist … one of my fav flowers … grew them in a garden a long time ago. Loved the flowers and the seed pods that form after the flowers fade.
As always! Beautiful, gorgeous, delightful! I love all of them.
Oh my have to have them all,lol love the Dahlia I think I have to have that one and the crate. ove Love the cards
Loving all the flowers but my fav is the Black Eyed Susan’s.
Beautiful cards and ideas! On my wish list I would have the wooden crate, ladder fern, ostrich fern, black-eyed susan and Pan Pastel Kit 3 ! Way too hard to choose!
Oh My! How do you choose. I love the hurricane lamp and the berry branch the best. All the designers did a marvelous job and the cards are beautiful.
Love the berry branch, got the black eye Susan and dahlia and fern . Post on Facebook the card I made and in Pinterest too. I will add more flower dies to my list that I want to get and so happy about the different colour pollen now available. So inspired by the flowers that I will be planting black eye Susan in my garden in the spring.
My top list is -ALL OF THEM, they are gorgeous!!!! I love the wood crate!!! I can’t wait to order them all!!!
So hard to choose! But my favorites would be the nigella, Black-eyed Susan, and ostrich fern.
All gorgeous cards and hard to choose a favorite. Ostrich fern, Black-Eyed Susan and Geometric Background are on my wish list.
That’s not right! This is my wishlist, I can only leave my top three??? My absolute favorites are all the new ferns, Ladder fern, Ostrich fern, and Maidenhair fern! But of course, the black eyed Susan’s look so real, I love them all!!!!!
I just love the berry branch and fern dies. They have such lovely texture and can be used at any time of the year.
OK, this is confession time for me. I actually went and bought a new diecut machine just so I could buy the flower dies. I am in love with them all. When I went to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo, I spent most of my time in the Elizabeth Crafts booth. I wanted all of them! Thank you for such creative and beautiful designs.
All the cards are beautiful! I love the ferns and berries. They really make the flowers pop out. That would be my pick. Thank you designers for sharing .
Love the Garden notes Dahela card by Anita Kefriwai. and the Dahela 2 dies. However all the flowers and cards are amazing.
I love th maidenhair fern die. This reminds me of my Mom’s garden. The lovebirds die fits the love my sister and I have fo r birds.
Gorgeous creations! Love the detail that makes the flowers look so real! My favorites are the Black-Eyed Susan, Wooden Fruit Crate and the Ladder Fern!
Can’t pick just one…I love the Dahlia 2 and the Love in the Mist die sets! Actually, you couldn’t go wrong with any of the dies from this release.
Tough decision but since I love growing dahlias I’d have to say I would love to have the dahlia, fern dies and those beautiful berries!!
All so beautiful but I love the feathery greens in the Love in a Mist die set . Can see using those a lot.
I really like the Garden Notes Dahlia 2 and Garden Notes Ostrich Fern in the 6th card. I’m not big on all the flowers, but this one I really like.
Love, love, love the black eyed Susan from Susan’s collection. Just gorgeous!
So much Gorgeous Yumminess. The card with the wooden crate, the flowers are beautiful…. The flowers on Patrica and Anita’s card would on top of my list and also the wooden crate too…. Thanks for the chance and good luck everyone Xxxx
Tough to pick just one item from the new release. I think it might be the apple crate or maybe the berry branch. I think I’ve already ordered everything else!
You are asking the impossible. I LOVE EVERYTHING BY SUSAN. Like Lays potato chips…..you can’t have just one….lol. I’m wanting to get the pan pastel she uses on her leaves. Oh, and, and, and……
I think the dalia is special. Love the cards.
Love the creat which could be used for many of your dies.
Hello I am from Australia. I am in the process of purchasing all of Susan’s Garden Notes but only have a few at the moment. I just love to make the flowers and have made a small canvas to hang in my bedroom featuring the Dahlias which I am very satisfied with. Congratulations to all of you for making this series.
Oh so lovely cards. Top of my wish list is the Ostrich Fern, then the Ladder Fern and the Maidenhair Fern dies. ALso the Crate would be great to have.
The gorgeous dahlia is a must have. I also love the Love in the mist. Timing is perfect for my Christmas wish list!
Thank you for sharing these lovely cards. I’m going to use one of these ideas as a guide for a Thank you Thanksgiving card. Since I’m not cooking I can at least lend my talents as a paper florist. LOL
Do I have to chose just one? Impossible…I love them all and they are all on my wish list which keeps getting longer and longer.
So many ooohs and awwwwes….how can you choose? I love the Hurricane Lamp, the Ferns,, the Berry Branch, the beautiful Love In the Mist but if I’m forced I guess t would have to be the gorgeous new Dahlia. Thank you for these wonderful products and to the talented Susan.
My top wish list is the pan pastels. But all those ferns are amazing. The wood crate is a must. Their isn’t a flower that comes out that I don’t need.
