Canadian Collection

Hello my crafty friends!  The Canadian Collection has arrived!  I am showcasing the new Canadian Background die here.  This is a gorgeous two part background with stunning piercing detail to it.  Use it without the inside cutting die to create the look that I have here or add in the middle die for a complete patterned background.  So useful both ways, plus with the linear nature to it, you can easily cut it down to whatever size is needed too!  If you would like a chance to win this one, a quick comment is all you need. If you are unsure about how to do that, there are easy to follow directions on the right hand side of my blog.  Hope to see you back here at noon for the next post!  All for now, Sue x

  40. Hi Sue and all Wilsonettes. What a stunning bright cheerful card you have for us on this awful drab Thursday morning in Lancashire. It was hail down pour after hail down pour yesterday, but at the moment its hail Sue and this stunning new background die lol. I always think its amazing that a peice of patterned metal can take a plain peice of card from un-interesting to absolutly stunning, and this new background die will fly from the shops etc I think I can say that so far this will be the best seller as everyone loves a pretty background to work with.
    I hope you are feeling really good about how your new collection has been received so far and its only day 2 : ) looking forward to the 12pm reveal and sample, both will be beautiful that Im sure of.
    Its so nice to see long lost names again, and so many new names we've not seen before, welcome to the Wilsonette family and NO 1 blog.
    Not long before your luxury holiday Sam you lucky lovely lady hope you are feeling better than you did. Sending hugs to all our unwell friends.
    Hooe you have a wonderful day Sue.
    Hugs.

  92. Good morning Sue and the Wilsonettes,
    That a lovely card that could be for "them", you know the awkward ones in our lives. But what i really like is all the little daisies that you can get cut with the one die and the fact that you could cut into this die cut and lave different effects going on in it as well. Thank you Sue for the beautiful inspiration that your dies bring us.
    Love and crafty hugs

    Well you've done it now, I'm absolutely speechless!! When you gave us a glimpse of this one earlier, I had a look online and saw the packaging and it looked interesting, but WOW now it's just sensational! I don't often make big cards but the fact that you can trim this to fit my square cards or tall slim ones is a must for me.
    Thank you so much for designing such a stunner!

    morning Sue
    Another fantastic die to start your 2nd day launch.
    This one so reminds me of a Patchwork blanket and I can just imagine the super look it will give.

    We are still very wet, cold and windy here so it's definitely at stay at home day and who would want to go out and miss your next baby. I know I don't.

    Congratulations on being No.1 Sue. It's definitely where you deserve to be and where you always are for me and all my other coffee shop sisters.

    To all in pain and suffering today I hope your day gets better. To everyone please take care and stay safe.

  149. Good Morning, Sue and Wilsonettes. Hope your weather is good wherever you are.

    Another lovely card, Sue showcasing how this background die is different. I noticed you showed it with the middle on yesterday's card :-)

    Have a good day everyone. See you later.

    This is a gorgeous background. I have a feeling John Lockwood is going to be in his element playing with this.

    To be honest I never used to be able to get on with background dies, that is until I tried one of your designs. Now I'm hooked. This one needs to also be in my collection.

  170. Love the floral look of this die. It also looks like an old time quilt!

  171. Lovely background. Am I right in thinking this can be an edge with a plain centre or all over background. In that case, can the smaller centre be used as a small background. I hope it is

  172. Good morning Sue, another stunning card, love the colour combination.

  173. Hi Sue
    You've made a lovely card using the Canadian background. This makes a good background for men I think as it's not so frilly.

  176. Hello Sue. Wow Wow Wow
    I have just spent several hours this week watching your you tube videos & feel very inspired to craft again after almost a years break due to sight issues {visually impaired}. My husband very kindly dropped me at Samuel Taylors store yesterday so I could start a collection of your wonderful dies etc. I started die cutting the moment I got home yesterday like a child in a sweet shop I am in heaven. I am in my craft room again today & will check your wonderful blog to see the lovely new collection.
    Thank you Thank you Thank you.

  177. Good morning Sue, and welcome to day 2 of your new launch. I was unsure of this background just by seeing in a packet, but WOW what a stunner it is. Your card is simple delightful and I love the colours.
    I'm off to a funeral to a very dear friend of mine so I'm afraid I won't be able to leave comments on the next dies. I will try to catch later.
    Love & hugs to all,

  178. Hi Sue
    I love background dies and this one is really fabulous. There is so much detail and it can be "snipped" in so many different ways to create a great card.
    We have a lovely bright sunny morning here in W Sussex so hope it stays like it as there is some tidying up to do in the garden.
    Can't wait to see what you have in store for us on your next post!

  190. I have already ordered this die from Julia's shop - I am pleased to see the die cut cuts down well, on a couple of cards already.

  191. Good morning Sue and everyone

    What a brilliant die! The card is gorgeous, lovely fresh and springlike. I love the little Daisy's.

    I am usually not too keen on a lot of the background dies, but this one is special. With the piercing and the option of the inner die being kept in or left out it is genius. I would love to win this. It would be so versatile.

    I hope you're having fun in Florida Sue.

    Love Helen. Xxx
