Australian Collection

Hi there my crafty friends!  Welcome back!  This post is showcasing the new Sydney die set.  It is elegant and stylish, easy to use with so many other designs.  It looks great by itself as I have done with this sample or layered up with other die sets.  I think you will find it is a die you will reach for time and time again!  You only need to leave a comment on this post if you would like to have a chance to win this one.   The last post of the day is scheduled to go live at 6pm so please join us back here then.  I know you will love what you see!  All for now, Sue x

June Smith said...

Hi Sue and all Wilsonettes, you keep doing this Sue, amazing, you have designed such a beautiful die and yes it is one that can be used over and over again, that is what I like about your dies, they are all so versatile. You encouraged me once to not look at the die but what it can be made into and that is very sound advice.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Fabulous die - it would be most useful

Wheely Bad said...

Hi Sue

First the card, just stunning, a real lesson on 'less is more'. Secondly the die itself, I see a lot of snippy opportunities for this one... and I do love to snip! I adore the little lattice centre piece as it's lattice (for a start!), but also because the sentiment can be central to it in a small card or have the centre in for a larger card. Very versitile and very pretty, love it (can't you tell I've had a sleep since the last post?!).

Will comment on the last post after tea

Hugs, T x
