I fell in love with this set yesterday Sue when I saw it on Joanna Sheen's site. I just have to have them. They are so fine and delicate looking almost cobwebby!!! Very Parisienne with lacy shawls etc.! left bankish! Will definitely buy, broke or not...me that is who will be broke! but worth it, the dies are superbly made from start to finish and your interpretation with. them in your cards is perfect.Thanks as always Hugs Maureen

These new dies are examples of your creative spirit Sue, what else can one say, I think we have run out of adjectives. Too beautiful, but serious must haves.

hugs to everyone, have a lovely day xx

Wheely Bad said...

Hi Sue

Yes... the dies are so gorgeous, I think I can see architectural as well as fashion influences with a hint of art deco. Ok, I'm waffling but these would go with many types of cards. I can see 'snippable' bits too.

Oh, I took delivery of one of the Italian dies today. Am stunned by how big it is for a rounder shape, great value and looks so much better when I've actually got it in my hands *happy face*!

Congratulations again Sue and Crafty hugs to all,

Janice K said...

Oooooh love the look of the french background! Stunning dies and cards! x

Barbara said...

Carol Rossouw said...

These are just as lovely as the Austrian collection. The design reminds me of dragonfly wings & I can imagine all kinds of sparkly things one can do with these.

Jan.moogie said...

OK Sue when are these new embossing folders pretty please? xx

Meg Owen said...

The lace look is brilliant, fine as cobwebs.

Maggie said...

Good morning Sue. How do you do it? The French collection is the best yet and I think of wrought iron and flower boxes and everything provencal. Wonderful dies. Thank you. xx Maggie (better without a bow)

Hi Sue,

What a beautiful card, the French collection dies seem to me a cross between water lilies and cobwebs, they are so beautiful. Love the light blue and white Colour scheme of the French collection die cut card.
The Austrian die collection has a wonderful Art Deco look to it. Absolutely love all your dies, they are on my 'to get list' adore the dark blue background and white look to your card. The background die looks stunning with those little hearts great to send to a loved one.

Your cards are all so beautiful and show how perfect your dies are.

Hugs from Katie-Louise sweetlove

Hi Sue,
I thought that these dies looked really good just from the illustration on the packaging, but seeing how you have used them makes them even better! I'm not sure that my bank manager would appreciate another spend at the moment, so hope they don't sell out too quickly!

Sue these are beautiful dies I saw them on line last night and thought that the border and corner looked very "art deco", the card is gorgeous. Love the colour and how you have seperated the border and top part, what a good idea.

Sorry we have the rain for you and Julia today, hope it clears up so that Julia can see some of our stunning countryside. We have had beautiful weather these last few days and Loch Lomond was stunning from the deck at Duck Bay Marina where we had lovely lunch yesterday. See you on Tuesday.
