Hello and welcome back! I had a vision of a sort of layered card using these dies when I designed the. However, I have found that they are so much more. The Christmas Cottage Scenes and the Starry Night Sky Background (both shown here) can be used in so many ways. The cottages have been designed without a side or bottom cutting edge so you can either layer them up on top of each other or use them side by side so there is wonderful versatility to them. The Starry Night Sky can be used with them to provide the perfect backdrop or they will so easily transition into use with your non Christmas styled dies, giving it greater versatility as well. This is the last chance today to leave a comment to be entered into the drawing to win one of these, but you can join us at 6am tomorrow morning for the second day of fun! All for now, Sue x

Lovely collection on this card, it looks like a lot of work went into creating it, Thank you for sharing all your wonderful designs from Lianne Morrison in England
What lovely card, the real spirit of christmas feeling xx
Maggie B xx
Hi Sue
Very clever idea. Great for quick cards or something more intricate. Again, I feel the starry background is not just for Christmas and how about the scenery dies in black in front of your aurora borealis background... again, not just for Christmas!
I believe if dies can be used all year round they are much better value. It's great to have special Christmas ones, especially as I am a sucker for poinsettia, snowflake holly but I do like that you design the majority to be used anytime. Very clever of you and a big bonus for us.
Hugs to everyone, have a peaceful evening and the plan is to be back to see you all tomorrow,

Hi Sue,
Another beautiful card using both dies. It's kind of funny to be enjoying the snowy scene while outside the sun is actually shining today lol.
I think my favourite die from these two would have to be the cottages, although the starry night could be used all the year round :)

You have done it again Sue - I didn't think I needed the cottages, but against that starry sky & layered up the way you have it turns it into another wow card!

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Wowzers! This is by far my favourite card of the day, it is stunning. The Starry night background provides a picturesque and atmospheric backdrop to the cute little cottage scene....I have been so excited by these particular dies and you have really showcased them to their maximum potential....the noble circles are the natural partner to these dies and create a stunning frame . This card is perfection personified and the poinsettia provide the perfect adornment. Yet again you provide us with tools that can be utilised throughout the seasons in so many ways, you are a tremendous designer and crafter extraordinaire Sue, thanks for your continuing inspiration, it's invaluablexxxx

two stunners ,so so tempting ,Laura O
Great Christmas dies - looking forward to seeing more
This is too good for a card it should be wall art. Stunning Sue xx Jan
Hi Sue. This is exactly my sort of card - so much sparkle. I do have some other dies as I was trying to create exactly this sort of effect. I did it with lots of different shades of grey, light at the very back graduating to dark at the front. It works far better with your dies here I think it is because there is more detail on yours. Brilliant. Also the starry sky I think is a must have.
Lisbeth
Hi Sue,
