A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi bloggers! Welcome to day three of the die blog launch. I hope you are enjoying seeing all the new designs! Do you have a favourite yet? We are starting out with a new idea that I had; Diagonally designed borders. I love a diagonal cut on my cards (as you probably know), but found that somethings just didn't work well that way. I have designed three, two that go one way and the last one which goes the opposite direction so there is a bit of versatility to them too. There is also a place I have worked into the design to make a vertical cut if you would like to use them in smaller card projects too (I hate having to cut through a design!) These come with an extra thin border that does not have a cutting edge so you can make them as wide as needed (if you lie to add mounting foam like I do, this is a must!) I have used the Lavish Swirls here with it's border in this sample, but there is also the Love Hearts Diagonal and the Labyrinth Diagonal die sets (shown below). Leave me a comment if you would like to be included in the drawing to win one of these sets. Please join me back at 12 noon for the next blog post. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue, It's Wow again! How effective it that die? Such a clever idea and a beautiful card! Oh Sue, where will we start! Favourites so far - The Noble Squares as that will be a real workhorse. But I just loved yesterday's Ivy border and corner one - sorry name escapes me just now! Thank you Sue, I"ll never know how you think of all these things! Glad you do! Lots of love to you and friends on the blog! Myra P xx
I like these. Will be very useful but so far my favourites are the Noble squares but by the end I may have a different favourite. Thank you for all the new dies.
Hi Sue a simple card ( thanks to your thoughtfully designed die) and with which I can see many uses all year through. Your card is so elegant and classy. Wonder what will be shown us on your next post! Take care Maureen Bleay
Good morning Sue, Another day another Die Set. Wow! yes!yes!yes! I like these and the absolutely stunning card you have made using one of them. Have a good day
Love the idea of diagonal striplet dies. I like the Lavish Swirls, but am not entirely sold on the other two (at the moment). The fact that they can be cut to use on smaller cards is also appealing.
Hello Sue. These are definitely my favourite so far. Clean, simple but really really elegant. Just my style - so long as I copy your inspiration! Beautiful. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Hi Sue, I do believe I didn't see these coming, but once I saw they instantly became my favourites. You have taken for me all of the angle work to separate papers and rejoin with a fab slice of another pattern very smoothly. Wow how many more have we to be blown away with, cos you are so on a roll. X Ros
HI SUE ALL MY FAVOURITES, CANT GET ENOUGH OF A GOOD THING. LOL LIKE THE IDEA OF THESE DIAGONAL ONES. BUT NOT HIGH ON MY LIST OF FAVOURITES. NOBLE ONES ARE MY FAVOURITE. WITH CARIBEAN A CLOSE SECOND. WONDERFUL DESIGNS WANT THEM ALL BORN AGAIN SPELLBINDER NADINE HUG XXX
Another innovative idea Sue and I love the way this card 'pops' with the splash of red. A lovely trio of dies which again can be adapted for any occasion and both male and female.Well done ! Kindest regards Judith (Moran) x
This card looks so stunning, yet not over done. Love the idea of the diagonal die. Don't know how you do it...coming up with all these new designs, but thank you for them.
Hi Sue. WOW! WOW! WOW! What a stunning card !! I absoulutely love it !! These New Diagonal Dies look fabulous !! They are definately going straight to the top of my wish list !! They are just so different and unique. All of these die sets are very pretty but I think my favourite one is the hearts one. Another of my favourites are the Noble Squares Dies to. Thank you for more fantastic gorgeous dies and ideas. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
Lots of love to all the Wonderful Wilsonettes from Tres x x x
Hi Sue, Wow...I have never seen a diagonal die like these. Pretty neat. But my favorite has to be the vertical Hello die you showed. Wish these were carried in a store nearby.
Hi Sue Wow, another beautiful card & I too love the diagonal style of card front as it really draws the eye into the aperture & gives a lot of depth... Love all 3 of the Diagonal dies & will definitely be adding those to my ever growing wish list...
Wow, Wow, wow, what great dies. Again, such beautiful cards and what inspiration you give us Sue to have a go. Any cards made with these dies cannot fail to impress!! Love and hugs....
Another stunner Sue. Love these diagonal dies.........my bank account is going to be run dry soon as both sets of weaving dies have just arrived!!! Off to play.
I liked the look of these when I had an email showing your new collection. These have lots of possibilities. Looking forward to seeing what else you w8ll do with them. Card is lovely. Lub Karen xx
Oh Sue, how do you expect us to be able to pick a favourite out of all the new dies?!?!?! All are gorgeous in their own right and I would find it impossible to select just one. Love the idea of a diagonal die, as your examples show that they help create some stunning cards.x
Love your concept of these diagonal dies with such pretty edges too. Cards shows how effective they are making a simple card into something special. Jules W
Hi Sue and everyone Well I love these dies and I think they are a must have Your demo card is as always beautiful Sue I wish everyone good luck with the draw Take Care Theresa x
Would love to be in the draw to win these. Have made some cards using your inspiration of this style and just love the simplicity in appearance. Think this range of dies will assist in the illusion of simplicity when making these. Definitely on my wish list.
Hi Sue really love these set of diagonals I looked at them earlier when I was spending my Xmas money on some of your new dies now I have seen a card made with them I want them as well as the 3 dies percased
Hi Sue, I've always loved the diagonal cards you make and I'm thrilled that you've designed some custom diagonal dies...my craft room is calling out for these :). As always, thanks so much for sharing. x
So many new, and wonderful dies. It would be fun to see your creativity in action as you create these. They are all dream dies, so do you come up with these in your sleep? You are so talented.
Love the card you have made using the diagonal dies, these are certainly going onto my wishlist, I love all of them! Craftihappiness and love to all from Macky.
I must admit that I did initially not pay too much attention to the diagonal dies. But after seeing this card they are firmly on my wishlist. Such a clever idea and great for quick yet beautiful and effective cards. xx
Beautiful card Sue, very pretty. My favourites so far are the Rectangles followed by the Greek Background. cant wait to see all the new videos on youtube!
Very late to the party today, Busy day, had tea, fell asleep!
These woke me right up, they are stunning! Only a few dies work diagonally so they are a real 'gap in the market'. I really agree with another poster (sorry, forgotten who!) That you have truly innovated certain styles of die. You ask about a favourite... "A" favourite- don't make me laugh!!! 3 absolutely as soon as possible's and I need to see some more to put them in order of which I would like first, mind you, I still have some I'd like to catch up on! The sample is stunning and looks 'special'- anyone would be thrilled to receive a card made this way.
Hi Sue, couldn't comment yesterday, VERY long day at work without even a lunchbreak!! Lovely card today with very unique diagonal dies a real finishing touch. Hugs, Karen x
LOVELOVELOVE the diagonals. I dreamt of a card the other night and it had diagonal elements on it. These would help me make the card come to life! TFS!

Have we really seduced you to the dark side? Jaunty angled dies - whatever next?
These are really different. I don't think anyone else has designed for the diagonal! I like the Labyrinth best (at the moment).
Ventricles are great and eye catching. I love your swirl sample and the hearts as well. They're all great. Gina B
