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
Morning Sue, Up bright and early today! I just love this idea, I often use dies in the slant but they don't always work - these are fab! Gorgeous csrd too!
What a fantastic idea and just what we all need.These were the first ones that caught my eye and there are so many possibilities that I can see. You really have surpassed yourself this time Sue. Hugs Elaine xx
Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, oh you are onto a winner with these Sue, I love them and what a beautiful card you have made to show it off, this has got to be on my wish list, can't wait to have a play with the new dies.
I wish everyone good luck in the compo, but the blog is the most important as we are one big happy family who share so much.
Have a great Thursday everyone, keep safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Another wonderful day of seeing your latest collections. These dies look wonderful and will give a perfect diagonal cut. Don't know where you get all your inspiration from.
Good morning Sue What a fabulous idea that only you would think of, you always lead with innovative ideas that others follow. I love this concept you seem to know what we need. I can't choose a favourite because I love them all. I have the Noble Rectangle die and it's bigger and lovelier in real life. I've been playing with scrap card to get some ideas. Hugs x Heather T
Morning Sue, you card is striking as are the dies. These would be used an awful lot if I had them. I think I would layer them so the pattern was quite wide. Very special. Thanks Jane x
Morning Sue. WOW This is a beautiful card and loving the colour way. These are going to be very useful dies as i like to use my dies like this but find if you are making bigger card that they are not long enough so these little beauties will be perfect. Looking forward to 12 o'clock to see what you are going to tempt us with then. Until now you have not dissapointed as all the cards have been little masterpieces showing your new dies to perfection. Very cold outside this morning so take care everyone. Best Wishes. Denise T x
Good morning Sue I could not wait until later. Right now in Texas is 12:17 am it hard to wait. To answer your question all your dies are phenomenal and I will wait and then pick my favorite. Diagonal dies are great. Thank you very much. See you at noon
Morning Sue, these diagonal dies are a must have, fabulous designs, and the card you have created is so elegant. You have certainly gone all out on these ranges, and looking at the comments, there are lots of happy crafters out there. Have a great day. Bx
Good Morning, Sue and all Wisonettes, hope you all have a good day. This is another Simple yet Stylish card from you, Sue. I look forward to seeing the video tutorials using these dies.

Hi Sue I think this has to be your most innovative launch so far!! Every day you give us something new and exciting. These dies are truly genius! Your card is lovely too. Thank you for sharing and for the chance to win! Keep warm and well everyone. Hugs.
Good morning Sue and everyone Another great set of dies.Like slanted Striplets lol! Of course, you could use them on the opposite slant by nipping into the pattern slightly so very versatile. See you later. Ang x
Hi Sue. Very unusual. Lets see how long it takes for other companies to follow suit !! My most favourite's so far is the Noble with its large frame, Keflonia, and my MOST favourite is the vine set from yesterday, simply gorgeous, but as Ive been 'told' what's to look forward too I dare say I will add more to my list of favourite's !! Given up reading everyone's comments as giving the suprise's away was a REAL spoil for me. Have a great day Sue and thanks for such a wonderful blog and kind and over generous heart. Lancashire Steph xx
Clever concept, Sue, especially like the detached narrow border to make extra decorative edges. Love the card! Favourite? well, the Noble Pierced Rectangle was the must-have but like these .... and those .... and!!
Yes, Sue. I have a favorite. It's ALL of them, lol. The card looks great. I love the new diagonal strips. Beautiful. I pinned. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765606762398/
Morning Sue, these dies will be so useful to make a quick but stunning card. I do love them all so far but if I am pushed, I think the noble squares are probably at the top of my list. Thank you for giving everyone a chance to win one. ElizabethS x
Great idea and beautiful card. Very hard to pick a favourite yet, but this one will definitely be on my shopping list, the Noble Squares are fab too as are all the others. X
Hi Sue, Wow, you have really thought EVERYTHING through when designing those diagonals. I love the idea of an extra thin border and the facility of making smaller cards, too without compromising the design. The card is beautiful, right up my street - as is the die which should be winging its way to me as I write. Can't wait to see what you've done with the other diagonals. Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, Very clever idea. The card is really striking but simple - elegant. Wasn't sure at first but like the Greek island background yesterday, now I've seen them, I need them! I was supposed to be saving this month but I can't see that happening! I'll never be rich. But you never know I might be lucky! Love and hugs to all, have a good day and see you back here at 12. Love Alison xxx
This card is beautiful and elegant! You hoped we were enjoying the new collections, safe to say we are " Over The Moon"" with them! Hard to have favourites when they are all so special but I love the square Noble Greek set and can see myself just having to get it and so the list goes on. Love and Lucky Hugs to all xo
Hi Sue What a clever idea! I had wondered how they worked! I can see all sorts of used for these. Every release brings new surprises for us. We are completely spoilt! Best wishes, Anne O
Morning Sue What another lovely start to a very very cold morning. Your colours are a real wake up treat and your diagonal dies look very interesting. I would love to see more examples of them being used.
Hope everyone is managing to keep warm and safe in this very very wintery morning. Hope to see you all at 12.00 noon. I have to go Bday presssie shopping. I thought I'd got rid of that pesky robot thing but it's back with a vengence this morning. Janet x
Hello Sue! This is a clever idea of yours! This list of Needs is becoming so long...to start it was just the Noble Rectangles I wanted, but that has changed every day! Take care Sue Love Marg
Good Morning Sue & Friends, WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!!!!!! This card is CAS heaven, that splash of red, just works so well! This die set is perfect for those quick and easy cards that we all need to make at some point, you think of every thing Sue, like some of the others said, you are the market leader, it always seems that other companies soon follow suit. How many Companies made their version of the Bow die, none as exquisite as yours! Janet (Echo ) your card is on display today over at the 'coffee shop' today, maybe you could pop over and take a look. It's well loved already! Hugs xx Cameeli, you are missing out big time on Sue's launch, I am missing your daily visits Hugsxxxxxx Well I am absolutely exhausted today after Sophie & Lucy's birthday yesterday , but it was worth for the two smiley faces? I will return at 12 to see your next exciting launch! Hugs to all! Sandra xxxxxxx
Beautiful card Sue, what a brilliant idea, but then all your dies are.I am sure these new designs will be a great well deserved success. Have a great day, see you a 12 Edwina
Lovely card - that touch of red behind the fancy panel really highlights the design...had to enlarge the pics of the actual dies - I'm guessing they work like the striplets, yes?...the additional narrow frilly border die is a real bonus, thank you for including one with each set, makes the sets so so versatile...
It's going to be murder to choose which one to buy first!...lol
Now you're talking! What a perfect new idea - diagonal dies My crafting skills are OK (sort of) and CAS cards are my favourite thing to do So these will be perfect to add to my collection
Hi sue, my initial reaction on seeing these dies was "yes!" :-). I totally get these dies on sight - which can't always be said of some makes. 3 words for them want, want want!
Good morning Sue,another winner I like the red behind it ,if you cut the strip on the solid lines and turned one around you have a lovely scroll bye for now see you later hugs Jane B.
Hi Sue. These are fabulous. Love the designs to these and the way they can be used as a shorter cut, you always think of everything :-) Love your card too - the simplicity of it with the added flowers. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
Good morning Sue, Another truly inspirational die set. I love the clean and simple look you have achieved using this diagonal and the heart diagonal with this colour combination would be perfect for Valentine's Day. Love and hugs to all who comment today, Saba
Hi Sue You are so clever these are really useful dies. I don't have a favourite but will have to make a decision on which ones to buy first. Hope to be back later. Love and hugs to all.
Morning Sue, I think these are going to be a winner, only you could come up with such an unusual design. Love the CAS card today, the splash of colour is perfect. Lydia X
Hi Sue - this is definitely going to find its way into my home! I love your striplet dies and this one is so clever and so effective. Looking forward to seeing more samples of these from you. See you later, best wishes YvonneMayxx
Morning Sue, what a brilliant idea, have tried using some of my straight border to do this but as you say they just don't look right sometimes. These are ideal.
Good morning Sue and my Wilsonette friends, What a beautiful card Sue and for me just the right amount of black in it. Having seen one of them in action now maybe they are a needed set now. They really make a difference the pattern staying up the right way and not sloping off the wrong way. I was at my old school friends' house last night and while looking for my phone to put something in it so that i wouldn't forget(the memory is not what it was). i found my gel pads that are suppose to be for the balls of your feet but i use them on my sticks to help cushion my hands on them, anyway normally they stick no problem, well would they last night.....no. I just said that i would wait until i got home and adhere them with double sided sticky tape when away her hubby goes and brings in the biggest widest roll that i have ever seen. It must be 2" wide and 3" thick, so just imagine how long that is going to last and that wasn't a new roll. The lovely Andy gave me the roll to keep and said that he would get me more if i wanted or needed it, wasn't that kind? I went up to teach her how to knit or more to the point how to cast on, increase, decrease and cast off. My friend can knit just and no more if someone casts on and does all the other things for her but what is the use of that, she needs to know these basics for herself. Someone cast on and ribbed the bottom of a back of a babies cardigan for her when her grandson was born, but left her to flounder and get disheartened because she can't do anything else. I have given her a plan of action in that i will start her off with a pair of mitts as they are small enough for her to see her coming on and getting somewhere, but also gives her the basics that she needs to learn. Maybe the fact they are small and knit up relatively quickly for a new knitter she will be hooked or needled into making more things. Hubby is off today and tomorrow with a hired van to take things to the tip like mums old doors and skirtings and such and to move Kirstens furniture across to her house. I know what is coming before it even starts today in "What are you doing today as you could be doing......." boy does he make me tired before even starting. He can't see the little but often approach works better for me than the all out assault that has me knackered with in the first half hour. Anyway i will see you all after hopefully. Love and crafty hugs Norah (Glenochil)
So different and fits in so well with how you like a diagonal design on your cards.These make it easier for the rest of us to do something similar.Thank you Sue.
What a great idea Sue and very thoughtful of you to make the diagonals dies so versatile. My favourite is probably the squares or the weaving dies so far but I'm spoil for choice! x
I agree with you Sue, have tried putting borders on a slant & have been disappointed as they didn't look right, great idea, can't wait to try these Marlene O xx
Hi Sue Another two stunning dies today. These are so versatile Sue. My favourites so far are the Noble Rectangles and Squares. Oh sorry that's two favourites. Mind you I could be changing my mins further down the line.
Hi Sue oh this is a lovely card, I like using diagonals too so think I may be asking for one of these! My favourites so far were the Greek sets yesterday, but then again there are so many lovely dies I wouldn't mind any of them!! Take care and have a great day. Love Diane G xxx Sandra happy birthday to the girls for yesterday xxx Norah what a lovely person you are teaching your friend to knit. Well done passing on a great skill xxx
Hi Sue, You are indeed a talented lady, diagonals I thought, not sure, I don't make that many large cards, but ah says Sue you can use them on smaller cards on the vertical! WOW WOW WOW!! You continue to inspire and each time I think you can't surprise me, Bam!, you do just that. These are now on my wish list. :-) Lorna D
Well I might not have had a favourite before, but I think I have now! Just love these little diagonal strips and the edging is gorgeous - like a miniature strip of picot lace! Thanks Susan x
Good morning Sue and everyone A really beautiful card and such a great idea. Hugs to all the regular Wisonettes who visit each day. Margaret corgi owner
Hi Sue. What a gorgeous start to todays releases. This card shows off one of your fantastic Diagonal dies a treat. Once again you have looked at just what is needed, rather than simply bringing out the same old type of dies time after time. You really are an inspiration in all that you do Sue, thank goodness you are kind enough to share it with us : ) Norah, it is good to hear from you but make sure you don't overdo it today. Campbell will have to either do it himself or be patient won't he! Sending my daily hugs to everyone. See you at noon : ) Take care.
Good morning Sue, This card is stunning, diagonal is not something I have tried, but I certainly will in the future. Thank-you for another great idea! Elegant! June (Cumbria)
Morning Sue, what a brilliant idea to have a striplet on a slant, can't wait to see what else you can do with it. This card is beautiful. See you later. Jess x
Good morning Sue & Wilsonettes Wooooow a brilliant idea Sue,such a useful set of die's you are soooo clever you think of everything we need. Your card is gorgeous so elegant & clean & fresh. I love all of them,but the Noble sets I think I will buy first they are a must for me. See you at 12pm Love & Hugs Lynda xx
Hi Sue, Lovely Card. These dies are really interesting, and already thinking and wondering what other ways I could use them. Be back later, love Brenda XXX
Morning Sue, What a clever idea!,,,and they are such pretty borders too! Your card today is simply elegant and I love the colours you have chosen to showcase your wonderful new border dies. Hugs to all who need them and may your days get brighter soon.
Good morning Sue, you had a great new idea with the diagonal dies. I haven´t seen something similar yet. The labyrinth is my favourite but the others are fabulous too. Rolf xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely card to start the day. I haven't seen anything like this before but no doubt the sheep will be following you soon. I don't yet have an out and out favourite because I know there are still plenty more to come but quite a few have gone on my list and I shall be adding today's. Frances
Hi Sue, These I love! love! love! I often make a card with a diagonal cut but don't find it easy to get it right.....these are a must for me. Thank you again for your hard work and brilliant ideas, you are such an inspiration. Love Janet x from Wakefield
More beauty here today. I really like these, but I must confess those from the Greek collection is just to die for, and also all these words are high on my wishlist here, but the greek collection wins sofar as a clear number one he he
Once again another delightful card and I think these new style dies are just so clever. My wish list grows ever longer thanks to you. Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. Margaret A.
Your creativity really brings something different to the dies market Sue - there is always something unique and novel and not just variations on a theme. Love the swirls.
Good Morning Sue What a clever idea. I too love to have a diagonal aspect to some of my cards. These are perfect for them. Lovely card. Love Karen in Telford x
Good morning Sue, oh I love your idea with these striplets. But I am still waiting to see everything you have done with your new dies before I even think what I will save up and buy. Love your card it's CAS and stunning. Hazel x
These are great. So glad that you can cut them down for smaller cards, (which my granddaughters like to make). I think my favourite one is the Lavish Swirls. Looking forward to next blog.
Hello from a cold and dark maine (yes power is out again), these diagonal dies are fab. No favs as yet, and will have to make time to see the next set.
What a wonderful and simply yet beautiful card and a superb idea. I love all the detail on these dies. I can see them being very versatile and another must have.
Very clever concept and what a beautiful card, cannot possibly make up my mind which is my favourite! first I think it's one and then change my mind. I want them all!!! Crafty hugs to all. Linda
Hi Sue What a brilliant idea and how clever to be able to use the die vertically as well. These are very versatile and I think all the designs are gorgeous. Thank you. Bye for now. SandraP xxx
Sue, at first glance I must admit I wasn't sure. But after looking at the pic of the dies I started to get lots of ideas in my head on where to use this kind of die. 😀 I love your blog, YouTube vids etc for learning your techniques and getting inspiration. Regards Louise. X

This card is beautiful and elegant! You hoped we were enjoying the new collections, safe to say we are " Over The Moon"" with them!
Hard to have favourites when they are all so special but I love the square Noble Greek set and can see myself just having to get it and so the list goes on.
Love and Lucky Hugs to all xo

Morning Sue
What another lovely start to a very very cold morning.
Your colours are a real wake up treat and your diagonal dies look very interesting. I would love to see more examples of them being used.
Hope everyone is managing to keep warm and safe in this very very wintery morning.
Hope to see you all at 12.00 noon. I have to go Bday presssie shopping. I thought I'd got rid of that pesky robot thing but it's back with a vengence this morning.

Hello Sue!
This is a clever idea of yours!
This list of Needs is becoming so long...to start it was just the Noble Rectangles I wanted, but that has changed every day!
Take care Sue

Beautiful,simple and quick fix card sue.
You think of everything when it comes to die cutting, well done.
Hi Sue
What a fantastic die this looks, the card is very elegant
Ginnie x
A lovely card Se and a great idea with these dies
Hugs Michelle xxxx
These are certainly clever, it makes such a simple elegant card - so gorgeous
Good Morning Sue & Friends,
WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!!!!!!
This card is CAS heaven, that splash of red, just works so well! This die set is perfect for those quick and easy cards that we all need to make at some point, you think of every thing Sue, like some of the others said, you are the market leader, it always seems that other companies soon follow suit. How many Companies made their version of the Bow die, none as exquisite as yours!
Janet (Echo ) your card is on display today over at the 'coffee shop' today, maybe you could pop over and take a look. It's well loved already! Hugs xx
Cameeli, you are missing out big time on Sue's launch,
I am missing your daily visits Hugsxxxxxx
Well I am absolutely exhausted today after Sophie & Lucy's birthday yesterday , but it was worth for the two smiley faces?
I will return at 12 to see your next exciting launch!
Hugs to all!
Sandra xxxxxxx
Beautiful card Sue, what a brilliant idea, but then all your dies are.I am sure these new designs will be a great well deserved success. Have a great day, see you a 12 Edwina
Hi Sue,
Lovely card - that touch of red behind the fancy panel really highlights the design...had to enlarge the pics of the actual dies - I'm guessing they work like the striplets, yes?...the additional narrow frilly border die is a real bonus, thank you for including one with each set, makes the sets so so versatile...
It's going to be murder to choose which one to buy first!...lol
Izzy
Now you're talking! What a perfect new idea - diagonal dies My crafting skills are OK (sort of) and CAS cards are my favourite thing to do So these will be perfect to add to my collection
Hi sue, my initial reaction on seeing these dies was "yes!" :-). I totally get these dies on sight - which can't always be said of some makes. 3 words for them want, want want!
Fantastic new idea. Lovely card. The red showing through is perfect.
Wendy J
Good morning Sue,another winner I like the red behind it ,if you cut the strip on the solid lines and turned one around you have a lovely scroll bye for now see you later hugs Jane B.
Morning Sue, I can see so many uses for these dies. What a brilliant idea.
Love Rosemarie xx
I was intrigued to see how these looked on a card an certainly not disappointed. Another lovely set of dies
Hi Sue.
These dies are a really good idea.

Evis M.
Hi Sue. These are fabulous. Love the designs to these and the way they can be used as a shorter cut, you always think of everything :-) Love your card too - the simplicity of it with the added flowers. Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
Good morning Sue,
Another truly inspirational die set. I love the clean and simple look you have achieved using this diagonal and the heart diagonal with this colour combination would be perfect for Valentine's Day.
Love and hugs to all who comment today,

Jean D xxxx
Morning Sue, what a brilliant idea, have tried using some of my straight border to do this but as you say they just don't look right sometimes. These are ideal.
What a great idea. Beautiful card.
Wonderful idea, so pleased with all the dies we have seen so far, don't know how you do it
Good morning Sue and my Wilsonette friends,
What a beautiful card Sue and for me just the right amount of black in it. Having seen one of them in action now maybe they are a needed set now. They really make a difference the pattern staying up the right way and not sloping off the wrong way.
I was at my old school friends' house last night and while looking for my phone to put something in it so that i wouldn't forget(the memory is not what it was). i found my gel pads that are suppose to be for the balls of your feet but i use them on my sticks to help cushion my hands on them, anyway normally they stick no problem, well would they last night.....no. I just said that i would wait until i got home and adhere them with double sided sticky tape when away her hubby goes and brings in the biggest widest roll that i have ever seen. It must be 2" wide and 3" thick, so just imagine how long that is going to last and that wasn't a new roll. The lovely Andy gave me the roll to keep and said that he would get me more if i wanted or needed it, wasn't that kind? I went up to teach her how to knit or more to the point how to cast on, increase, decrease and cast off. My friend can knit just and no more if someone casts on and does all the other things for her but what is the use of that, she needs to know these basics for herself. Someone cast on and ribbed the bottom of a back of a babies cardigan for her when her grandson was born, but left her to flounder and get disheartened because she can't do anything else. I have given her a plan of action in that i will start her off with a pair of mitts as they are small enough for her to see her coming on and getting somewhere, but also gives her the basics that she needs to learn. Maybe the fact they are small and knit up relatively quickly for a new knitter she will be hooked or needled into making more things.
Hubby is off today and tomorrow with a hired van to take things to the tip like mums old doors and skirtings and such and to move Kirstens furniture across to her house. I know what is coming before it even starts today in "What are you doing today as you could be doing......." boy does he make me tired before even starting. He can't see the little but often approach works better for me than the all out assault that has me knackered with in the first half hour.
Anyway i will see you all after hopefully.
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (Glenochil)
Hi Sue lovely card great dies - I think I will have to add at least 1 to my wish list.
Denise X
So different and fits in so well with how you like a diagonal design on your cards.These make it easier for the rest of us to do something similar.Thank you Sue.
Morning Sue
Wow these are stunning - just what we need - love this idea and the card also
Hugs
Carol x
Hi Sue,
What an amazing design concept!
I would love to see you demo this one to see all the variations.
Veronique L
What a gorgeous card and such a clever idea, makes a very classy card xxx
What a great idea Sue and very thoughtful of you to make the diagonals dies so versatile.
My favourite is probably the squares or the weaving dies so far but I'm spoil for choice! x
What a cool idea Sue, love the card. Its very striking!
What a clever idea, love these dies. Yes I have a favourite die, but it changes each day!
Hi Sue more stunning dies great idea and super card hugs linda and lily
I agree with you Sue, have tried putting borders on a slant & have been disappointed as they didn't look right, great idea, can't wait to try these Marlene O xx
What a clever die! Tried to do this style with straight border. Doesn't work. But this does. Great idea Sue x x
What a great idea, diagonal dies. I think the heart one may end up as my favourite, but there again.....LOL. Thank you Sue.Xx
Hi Sue
Another two stunning dies today. These are so versatile Sue. My favourites so far are the Noble Rectangles and Squares. Oh sorry that's two favourites. Mind you I could be changing my mins further down the line.
Very clever, and you don't need too much on a card to make it look stunning.
Hi Sue oh this is a lovely card, I like using diagonals too so think I may be asking for one of these! My favourites so far were the Greek sets yesterday, but then again there are so many lovely dies I wouldn't mind any of them!! Take care and have a great day. Love Diane G xxx
Sandra happy birthday to the girls for yesterday xxx
Norah what a lovely person you are teaching your friend to knit. Well done passing on a great skill xxx
Hi Sue,
You are indeed a talented lady, diagonals I thought, not sure, I don't make that many large cards, but ah says Sue you can use them on smaller cards on the vertical! WOW WOW WOW!!
You continue to inspire and each time I think you can't surprise me, Bam!, you do just that. These are now on my wish list.
:-)
Lorna D
Well I might not have had a favourite before, but I think I have now! Just love these little diagonal strips and the edging is gorgeous - like a miniature strip of picot lace! Thanks Susan x
Hi Sue
Another brill idea
Love Jan x x
oh wow, i think it is a great idea to come with diagonal dies
Love this idea so much. Yet again you have inspired us all. Really need all of these as it's such a beautiful card. Amazing.

Your creativity just keeps on astounding me! Keep them coming Sue, we love them. As for a favourite? All of them! Love Sarah.
Good morning Sue and everyone
A really beautiful card and such a great idea.
Hugs to all the regular Wisonettes who visit each day.
Margaret corgi owner
Hi Sue. What a gorgeous start to todays releases. This card shows off one of your fantastic Diagonal dies a treat. Once again you have looked at just what is needed, rather than simply bringing out the same old type of dies time after time. You really are an inspiration in all that you do Sue, thank goodness you are kind enough to share it with us : )
Norah, it is good to hear from you but make sure you don't overdo it today. Campbell will have to either do it himself or be patient won't he!
Sending my daily hugs to everyone.
See you at noon : ) Take care.
Simple but lovely.
Good morning Sue, This card is stunning, diagonal is not something I have tried, but I certainly will in the future. Thank-you for another great idea! Elegant! June (Cumbria)
Lovely card again Sue. My favourites so far are the Noble collection, can't choose just one of them though!
Hi Sue
You really are showering us with a richness of wonderful dies. These are a fabulous idea and will certainly make life a little easier!
Take care

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. These are so different to other dies and beautiful.
Sue, at first glance I must admit I wasn't sure. But after looking at the pic of the dies I started to get lots of ideas in my head on where to use this kind of die. 😀
I love your blog, YouTube vids etc for learning your techniques and getting inspiration.
Regards
