Thanks For All You Do

 Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of Iris card to use for the background.  Using the Coronet Lace Border, I cut two in white and two in black.  I used the black die cuts as a shadow behind the white ones, then glued them to the sides of the card.  I cut the Gloria die with a piece of black card on top of a piece of white card.  I used alcohol ink markers to colour the image on the white copy, then I glued the black die cut on top.   I cut the Gloria die again in white and mounted it vertically in the middle of the card.   I added the coloured die cut on top of it.  I cut the Thanks For All You Do sentiment in black and added it to a white shadow backing die and attached it across the middle of the die with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 3/4" in size.  


All for now, Sue x

Floral Extravaganza

 Hello bloggers!  This is the final post of this launch, sadly.  This post is dedicated to the Floral Extravaganza die set.  There are a whopping fourteen dies in this set including three different flower sizes, a whole display of leaves and some centres for the flowers.  These flowers have a sort of art deco look to them and even though I haven't used very many flowers on the Art Deco samples, every once in a while, your cards or projects just need a little bit of a floral element to them, don't you think!  For the final time (this month), I ask you to leave a comment on this post and your name will be included in the drawing to win this entire collection! Don't forget to check back on April 4th to see if your name was the one drawn out to win it!  All for now, Sue x

Art Deco Just Because

 Hello there my crafty friends!  Welcome t the penultimate post of the launch.  We are dedicating this post to the other Art Deco sentiment.  Introducing the Just Because sentiment.  This one has been done in the same art deco styled font so it will mix and match well with any you have from the previous release too.  I always say that a card sent with the Just Because sentiment is the very best kind to receive!  You have a couple more chances to add your name to the last two posts.  I always say, someone is going to win the collection, it might as well be you, right!  The final post of this launch will be on the blog at 3pm.  I hope you can join us back here then!  All for now, Sue x

Decorative Tag Duo

Hello crafters!  The next die in the collection that we are showcasing is the Decorative Tag Duo.  There are four dies in this set, one larger tag and its outer cutting edge and one smaller tag with its cutting edge.  These tags work very well for layering with some of the other larger dies to create interesting effects.  If this set is calling your name, then don't forget to leave your comment on this post.  We have two more dies to share with you before the end of the launch and the next one will be on the blog at noon today.  All for now, Sue x

Elegant Fanfare

Hi bloggers!  This post is dedicated to the Elegant Fanfare die set.  This set has two dies in it, but it is such a useful die as you can change the configuration on it very easily.  It was one of the real go to dies in this collection and you will see it done in so many ways in the coming weeks and months.  It layers very well with the other dies as well.  Add your comment if you want to be entered in the drawing to win the collection.  Day two is finished but we still have another almost full day, starting right here tomorrow morning at 6am.  All for now, Sue x

Elegant Stroll

Hi there my crafty friends!  The next set to be showcased is the Elegant Stroll.   This die has a lovely lady dressed in the fashion of the early 20's and 30's and she is walking her greyhound dog.  She looks amazing against the Skylines Background too.  If this one would make a great addition to your craft stash, then don't forget to put a comment on this post.  I would love to know what you think of the release so far too.  We have one more post today at 6pm.  All for now.

Skylines Background

 Hello bloggers!  The next die that we are showcasing is the Skylines Background.  This beautiful background is perfect for everything from a simple card such as the one shown here to a lovely background for some of the other dies in this collection.  It is a perfect addition for use with the Travel In Style die set too.  You will definitely see more of this set in the coming weeks and months.  If this set is floating your boat, then don't forget to leave a comment on this post.  I will remind you to please make your name memorable in some way when posting your comments.  You can add a funny alias or add the name or the city or town where you live, just some way that helps me recognize who the winner is clearly.  We still have a couple more posts for today and the next one will be online at 3pm UK time.  All for now,  Sue x

Have A Roaring Good Time

Hi crafters!   The fist of the two sentiments is the Art Deco Have A Roaring Good Time.  Shown here, yu can see that it has been designed with an art deco feel to it and it matches the font used in the previous art deco release.  I think you are going to want to add a comment to this post in order to get the maximum number of entries that you can. Someone is going to win this collection, it might just be you!  That is the end of the first day of this release.  Don't worry, I will be back here bright and early for day number two.  All for now, Sue x

Fantail Rosette

 Hello bloggers!  This post is dedicated to the Fantail Rosette die set.  This set has two dies in it, but it can easily be nipped apart and the pieces can be used individually.  The sample shown here shows just how easily the different sections of the die card be used.  If this one is calling your name, then why not add your comment to the post.  The final post of the day will be online at 6pm.  I would love to see you back here then if you can!   All for now, Sue x

Diamond Radiance Background

Hello bloggers!  The next die on offer is the Diamond Radiance Background.  I love the simplicity of this die, there are so many things you can do with it!  This die set has five dies in it so you have the means to use all or just parts of the die that you want.  The centre section with the rays coming out from it create such a pretty look for sentiments or whatever you chose to put in the middle of your card.  If this one is calling to you, then you need only to add a comment to be entered into the drawing to possibly win it!  I have another beautiful die to share with you at 3pm today.  I hope you will join us back here then!  All for now, Sue x

March Blog Launch Die Release / Dazzling Diamonds

Hello crafters!  Welcome to the March die release.  This release is a continuation of the Art Deco release from late last year.  The images were so popular that we decided to add to the collection.  As always, I will be gibing away a set of the entire March collection release to one lucky winner drawn from the comments left on the blog.  You may leave a comment on every blog post for maximum entries, but please only one per post.  I ask that you make your name memorable in some way so there is no confusion as to who the winner is.  Please add either a last name or initial, a funny alias or perhaps even the city where you live, just to be sure.  I will do the drawings and post the winner on the morning of the 5th of April so don't forget to check back then!

We are starting out with the Dazzling Diamonds die set.  This set has four dies in it, but there is so much you can do with it!  Just a little teaser for you, but I will be demoing this card on Hobby Maker on March 28th for you (I believe the time is 1pm, but please check their guide for any changes).  If you like this one, just add your comment to the bottom of this post and don't forget to sign your name!  I will be returning at noon today for the second post.  All for now, Sue x
