Festive Collection Day Five 3pm


Hello there my crafty friends! This post will be showcasing the Christmas Rose die set and the Holly Branch set.   Last year, I had quite a few requests for a Christmas Rose, so I took them to heart and this is what I came up with!  It is a lovely floral addition for your cards and a really pretty alternative to poinsettias too.  A quick note too, there is a matching stamp set for it as well, but the sample shown here is just using the die.  The Holly Branch has been making itself known on many of the previous samples shown, so you can see it is a real "go to" set for the festive season.  I would love to know what you think of these, leave me a comment.  The final blog launch post will be up at 6pm today!  All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue,
    Oh the Christmas roses are lovely and it's about the only Christmas rose that will be out at my house on time as my ones in the garden seem to think Christmas is March April time instead of December January. I like the new holly sprig Sue, it's definition is really nice and pronounced and will make for lovely detail on our cards. Well i hope that you have received the welcome that you hoped for, for your new dies collection. I love it when you start bringing out these new dies at this time of the year and all the possiblity that they bring with them. Thank you Sue for some real beauties that i am so much hoping will come my way, but probably from me to me rather than O.H. to me somehow as he doesn't know why i need so many dies. What a silly man but hey ho that's how it goes.
    love and crafty hugs

    Good afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!

    What a stunning card, it showcases many of of the new collection most beautifully. How lovely that you have listened to the calls for a Christmas rose because the results have been impressive.....it's great to have a floral alternative to the poinsettias and one that is far more practical for postage reasons and beautiful into the bargain. You can never have too much foliage embellishments in your crafty arsenal and this little gem will be finding it's way into my collection quick sharp:-)
    I love this card, here's hoping that it will have it's deserved day on the blog, the poinsettia borders are stunning placed upon the glittered red cardstock.
    Can't quite believe we only have one more post but all good things must come to an end I guess and you deserve a well earned rest after the amount of effort you have put in on our behalf. Thanks Sue for being simply fabulousxxx

    Hi Sue. Well these are the dies I have been waiting to see, and I have to say they are truly gorgeous Sue !!! Your Christmas Rose dies are amazing !!! I have only ordered one die set from your Christmas launch so far ( As it is not quite pay day yet !!! ) Yes you have guessed it, l ordered the Christmas Roses die set !!! I am so excited now and can't wait to get my hands on it !!! I am very pleased. I really must buy the matching Christmas Roses stamp now to !!! I have your previously released Poinsettia dies so my cards this year will be mainly Poinsettia's and Christmas Roses. I also love the look of your new Holly Branch die and I think it is a lovely addition to decorate our Christmas cards with. I love your card, it is beautiful. It is fab that we can mix and match all your dies when making our Christmas cards too. Everything is so versatile, and Sooo pretty. Thank you Sue. Sending you lots of love from Tres x x x

    This is a lovely card. I really like the Christmas rose die. You could layer up different petal sizes to make all year round flowers too. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Sue. Gorgeous absolutely gorgeous. It's hard to decide which of the new collection jump to the top of my festive die wish list since enjoying this sample. Start with the frames and work my way to the added extras you provide for us in the way of Finishing Touches seems sensible to me.
    Had another hour of sun at 4pm so a mad dash ( I wish lol) to let the dog run on the beach, so lovely to watch even if it was only from the car as the high wind would have turned me into a blue fingered human kite lol.
    Time to say 'thank you' for all the enjoyment you bring to me. And a quick 'hi' to our Sam xx So many new names from all over the world have joined the blog these past few days so nice to see the numbers rise even better if they were to continue to do so after all your hard work Sue, no better way to show our gratitude to you.

    Absolutely love the Christmas rose and it is itching to get into my basket. Such a beautiful alternative to the poinsettia. As you say Sue the Holly speaks for itself ans a real have to have die, It is all so exciting and I am going to find it so painfully hard to make choices but I can't wait to do so.

    Here's my favourite, it's the Christmas rose! love the card and love the design, just fantastic, so Christmas rose i think you win my vote!
    Sue would it be a fun idea to have a favourite die vote on your blog ?
    where people just ticked a box from die choices and pressed submit ?
    then you could see the results ? not sure how to set it up? but like the card making magazines cast their votes? just an idea ? and i'd like to see what other blog followers would vote for?

    Hi Sue

    I love the Christmas roses, great for any time of year AGAIN!!! Brilliant:-) they actually look like the climbing roses my neighbour has that have migrated over my garden fence, I adore them so this die will be in my collection very soon I feel. I actually thought about stacking them large to small which would look like the other rose bush which has climbed over the evergreen at the bottom of my garden so all in all a very pretty, very versatile die. The holly sprig will be perfect from autumn onward I think,

    I'm getting right in the mood to make Christmas cards! So many lovely dies, my list gets longer each post of which I'd like to add to my collection.
