Heather R Oxfordshire
Hi Sue what an elegant card. The cross is beautiful and I can see it being used for lots of different occasions.

This is a really beautiful elegant card Sue. I love the cross. Xxx Sandra S Hertford
Evening sue.
Beautifully done. Love the elegance of the cross too xz
Ahh just doing a Christening card using those cutie Stitched Animals and how I wished I'd got the sentiment, too late boohoo. Oh well I just know I'll need both the cross and the sentiment so I can justify adding them to 'the list' oh boy Sue, are you going to be blamed again lol. A beautiful sample to show your beautiful dies, to end a beautiful day. Thank you xxx
Wow Stunning card Sue, trying to catch up all I have missed while away, loving these new dies
Sharon Milton Keynes
Hi Sue,
AWESOME!!!!!
Truly inspiring dies, this genre has definitely been awaiting something new!
Croquet Queen
Gorgeous dies here, tfs.
Both gorgeous and traditional and for those more religious occasions. Both a necessity for any die collection, but not always the top of the wish list. However both these are too gorgeous not to want!!!!
Evening Sue and all Wilsonettes, this is a very apt die for this easter weekend. It is one of those types of cards which none of us enjoy making, but can be used for so many reasons as you gave said, it is a must for any crafter, I love the way you created the sample for it.
Good luck everyone
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Beautiful card. Love the detail on the cross die.
Kate from Kendal
Hi Sue and everyone
Definitely a change of gear. Really nice crosses and font, will be useful for so many different occasions. The card is really elegant.
Love Helen xxx
Beautiful card,
and the cross die is lovely, so detailed and elegant :))
Lovely to have a die like this for those occasions xx
Hi Sue, This is a stunning cross and would be ideal coupled with the Christening Day dies too, but also it will be a lovely centrepiece for a Sympathy card or any Religious occasion. A beautiful card.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Sue
Elegant card, beautiful dies.

Very versatile dies Sue and will be a great addition to everyone's collections. x
Hi Sue,
You took me by surprise with this new set of dies. Nothing that I expected BUT it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. The Elegant cross die is very elegant indeed; very detailed design. I would use it for so many occasions, like you mentioned. My sister (not only she) will be delighted to get a card with this cross. Since her b-day is next month, I added this die on my wish list.
Have a great day everyone!
Still a newbie to Craft / Not longer the newest, but still the only Canadian Wilsonette

Hi Sue
What a lovely card and Two very useful die sets. I was thinking the other day I don't have an ornate cross die for those special events and here it is. The words are perfect too. I think this one might be finding its way to me next time I gave a little spend. Thank you for sharing.
Love Diane G xxx
Lovely card Sue....
Love Rosie from Chorley...xxx
Hello Sue,
Just as its name implies, this is certainly an elegant cross. I don't think I have ever seen one that is so detailed. And what a lovely die beneath it, cannot wait to see that one. The card is "elegant" as well and really shows off the details in the cross.
Until tomorrow.
Beverly from Maryland, USA
How apt for Easter. The card is beautiful and the die sets look so versatile. There's nothing I haven't put on my shopping list yet.

Awesome sue I'm really enjoying all these great cards Xx
Very very elegant card Sue and the Cross is stunning. Can also be used for Sympathy cards, which are always difficult to get right.
Another successful launch today, you give us so much pleasure and also something to think about.
Barbara, many congratulations to your daughter and you for the coming baby, wonderful news.
Good evening Sue and all Wilsonetts

FIONARFC FROM BARMULLOCH IN Glasgow 😘😘😘😘😘
Hello Sue,
I can honestly say this is the most beautiful cross die ( and I don't mean angry!) that I have ever seen. It has shot to the top of my wish list. The card you made to showcase it is just pure opulence. Love it Sue, thank you.
June hope you are not in pain following your visit to the dentist. I feel for you!
Barbara what lovely news, grandchildren are a blessing.
Myra will you stop and take that grass skirt off now!
Love and hugs for all

Again, dies that don't think I'd have a use for. However, that's a very elegant cross and an altogether splendid card.
Thanks for the second day's delights, Sue.
'P' in Wales
Evening Sue, two really really fantastic die sets, the cross is lovely and the card is great hugs Johanna 11245
Evening Sue
Elegant is such an appropriate description of this die. It is absolutely beautiful x
I would have so many uses for this die which is why I pre ordered it along with the other new necessities in this launch x
Well I have to say I am feeling quite exhausted by the last 2 days activities. My 2 early mornings may have something to do with it. Not sure if I can keep it up but I'll certainly try x
As well as receiving my new pre-ordered tropical collection and Message in a Bottle die today I also received an unexpected pressie from Laine. Lovely surprise. 2 pinpoint embossing folders and the Home Comforts stamp to die for - and she says she doesn't like me. Love to see what my pressie would be if she did like me x
Thing is now I have to try and think of something nice to say about her so here goes . . . . .
em . . . . . . .
um . . . . . . .
err . . . . . . .
It's no good, can't think of anything!!
Only joking Laine - love you really. Speak to you very soon x
OK folks I am sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone especially my blog besties x
Take care

This is beautiful Sue and definitely one for the wish list. Thank you.
Beautiful card. Love the elegance of black and silver.
NancyR in Delaware
What a lovely card, Sue! I recently did a couple of christening cards and wish I had had this sentiment. The cross would also work on sympathy cards, as much as we do not particularly like making them they are needed too often. Again, lovely card and dies. Keep up the lovely job, your cards are always so lovely and elegant.
Such a lovely card again. These sets would be a lovely addition. Unfortunately, I get asked to make alot of sympathy cards and the cross would work nicely for that.

What a beautiful cross and I love how you have used it. Many thanks Sue.
Hi Sue WOW !!! I just cannot thank you enough for these two extremely important die sets !!! The crosses and sentiments set is beautiful and exactly what I really need !!! I bought this die set from you at Ally Pally. I love it !!! I did not have any thing religious in my stash apart from all your Angel Dies that I collect for Christmas. I love the sentiments you have included in the set to. They are a lovely font.
I also really love the "Christening Day" set to. I have made so many Christening cards over the last few years and have always struggled to find the suitable sentiment that I need. This one to, is in such a lovely font and I can use it as a real centre piece on my cards. Thank you. Love Tres x x x
Love to all from Tres x x x

Hi Sue,
Love all your cards, this I think is the first I have seen in your collection, it is a lovely cross, and it can be used for many different occasions.
I was thinking of using it on a Sympathy card, one could add tiny flowers and butterflies around the cross.
Beautiful card. The Elegant Cross really is a necessity. Handy to have different sizes of cross and the word dies will be so useful.
Hi Sue,
I love your sample showing off the Elegant Cross. The sentiments are very useful.
