New Zealand Collection

Hello bloggers!  I am showcasing a sort of new idea this post and that is a Noble Border die.  This is the New Zealand Noble Border die.  It is a beautiful border designed in a wider format.  Ordinarily, I would need to cut four or more border dies to create a background, but as you can see, two of these fill the background nicely!  I have long wanted to design a really wide border and I am just over the moon with the way it has come out!  Please leave a comment to be entered into this drawing.  I will be back here at 3pm for the next scheduled post.  Hope to see you here!  All for now, Sue x

Wow this is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to get my hands on this one!!! My machine doesn't always cut first time, this would save me struggling. Thanks a million Sue. See you at 3pm

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue, when I first saw this die I thought it was a bit too wide and too busy to be used effectively, but now that I have seen the card that you have made with it I have to admit that I have completely changed my mind. It is truly beautiful.

Gorgeous border and I love the name of this one.

Hello Sue

This card took my breath away, it is so pretty. The border die resembles a ribbon of the most expensive looking lace. This border die certainly owns it's own space and it is no wonder that you created it in a wider format which allows the die to shine. Thank you for another beautiful creation.

Best regards.

Glenharon said...

WOW Sue, thank you so much for making this into a card as seeing it in a picture on it's own is so very deceiving, what a size of a border and what a stunner. It is no wonder that you have fallen in love with it as it has just shot to the top of my wanted list. What an impressive sight it is and the intracy and detail that it shows is stunning and made an absolutely stunning card. With it being so deep it shows off all the other design elements that make it up and gives you a wide(sorry excuse the pun as it wasn't intended) range of options as cutting into it to produce a different look.
Take care flower and see you at 3pm

Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!

Another winner my dear! What a great concept which allows us to create a stunning background in the blink of an eye and half the time. It is beautiful, intricate and resembles the finest lace, what more could we ask for in a die. I'm running out of superlatives already and we still have over twenty dies to go, phew!, you have worked hard for our benefit Sue
I can see that I will be adding the New Zealand collection to my basket, I don't even need to see the rest of the collection because there is one guarantee in life...you will never disappoint!
I'm filling in the time between posts by baking my first baked vanilla rice pudding, surely nothing could go wrong...even for me!:-) it smells nice though and my mum is watching me like a hawk...just in case I slip in some arsenic probably:-)
