Hi bloggers! The beautiful Aurora Star and the Swirling Stars border dies are being showcased during this post. The Aurora Star (shown here) is a detailed star that can be both a stunning focal element or just as easily used in the backgrounds of your crafting projects. It has been done in two pieces as well so you can easily back it or just use the decorative inside die. The Swirling Star border is perfect for adding small accents to your card, doing channel cards or framing your focal elements. You will find yourself picking it up for so many different reasons. It adds just the right amount of fine detail to your Christmas projects. Leave your comment, tell me what you think so far and you will be included into the drawing to win one of these dies.

Oh Sue,
You're spoling us agin on the very first day of the new releases.
I will admit that, were I forced to chose just one of these dies then the Swirling Stars would win hands down. They are beautiful and I can see them being used on birthday cards as well as Christmas cards :)
Bejay x
Just love both these dies. Your card is beautiful
Love the star die, so pretty, would make a great tag from Lianne Morrison England
I agree that I'd be reaching for this border die time and time again - I already use the Twinkle EF for birthday cards The Aurora Star would make lovely cards for our "little stars" (can you tell I'm a granny now) And for "stars" that are no longer with us (I have a star named after my son) karenlotty
Hello Sue,
A beautiful card! I love the background too! The Star I think is my favourite here but it's too early to say. I love it's elegant simplicity!

Lovely card & two brilliant die sets.
Michele
Hi Sue, dies look great
Wendy IOW Downes
Hi Sue, a lovely card that would be perfect either for those who do not celebrate Christmas or those that have no religious inclinations. I have the star spray and think the Swirling Stars will probably join them.
Frances
Two more beautiful dies. Being spoilt with your designs!
Maggie B xx
Good afternoon Sue and the Wilsonettes
Ooooh I think the star border is going to be so useful and I think that other dies along this line could prove a winner as well like a heart trailing border or a little diamond border along the same sort of lines. I will need to see just how tonight's is made as the background has me bewildered but that's no surprise today as nothing is working today in me, so here's hoping tomorrow I will be in working order tomorrow . Have a good night people
Love and crafty hugs
Norah (glenochil )
Hi Sue another lovely card with the Ray of sunshine die and the star is so pretty

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
What an eye catching background, it really shows off the Aurora star a treat....is it pixie powders that have created this effect I wonder?....and what a beautiful die it is, I love it. The Star Swirls have a myriad of possibilities that extend way beyond the festive season and as such, will most definitely be finding it's way into my stash.
