Nov. 2016 Die Release Launch / Pacific Ocean Collection

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome to the blog launch for the final die release of 2016.  Although the launch size is a bit smaller than previous releases, it is no less mighty!  I am starting off with the Pacific Ocean Collection today and will show you more along the five days of the entire launch.  Up first is the Bora Bora die set.  Shown here, it has a lovely hexagonal centre shape that an be built upon when used with other dies in the collection as you will see with the other posts today.  As always, I will be giving away a set of each of the dies in this latest release.  I will do the drawings and post the winners on Tuesday Nov. 15th so you will have plenty of time to leave comments on any and all of the posts.  Please be sure to sign your comments with either a funny alias, a surname initial, the city you are from (ie, Kathy in Portsmouth) or some other way to really distinguish you from anyone else with a similar name.  One comment per blog post, but you can post on any of the 20 blog posts during the launch.  The next post will be online at 12 noon, so I hope to see you back here then!  All for now, Sue x

What a gorgeous start! The hexagon shape makes the start of this collection so different. I think tis could make a beautiful Christmas card in frosty colours

I think I "boobed" yesterday, not realising you'd used graphite gilding polish on the gold card. Doh!

Good evening Sue and the Wilsonettes,
I do love when you make a collection as you have done with the oceans and the beautiful paradise islands that i can only ever dream of going to and coming in to see yet more beautiful dies when i haven't even got started on the last set yet. Sue what are you trying to do to us as we are all going to be in the paupers house before too long because of a new need, now you notice i don't want them but need them and that's the difference, lol. Have a great time flower and i hope that you have a lovely time on air tonight
love and crafty hugs

Hi sue

Wow what a start to the new launch of course I'm late to the party as usual just been very busy still sorting out all the craft stuff that been packed away for nearly a year. Boy am I finding some gems as well as some stuff that makes me smile, what was I thinking when I bought half of it.lol of cops it takes a while to find out what you like in crafting and what your style will me and I now know I'm a die addict.

So big question is when can I get my hands on some of these dies? I might be late to the comments but I've been following on my phone through my daily reminder email.

Looking forward to seeing some videos too, keep up the good work all the best Pauline (freedom99)

BridgetCG said...

Hello Sue, you have certainly chosen a stunning die to start the new launch with. Love the shape, and your beautiful card. Looking forward to all the others. bx

I've only just opened the blog for the first time in quite a while since I have been too poorly to even look at my favourite blogs!! A few cracked ribs has certainly restricted me but I'm trying to get back to as normal as I can and what better than to start with opening up my top favourite blog?! I was so surprised and delighted to see such a fabulous new collection of dies and this first one is as beautiful as the island of Bora Bora itself, which I visited in 2005. A really gorgeous card to show it off.
