Hello and welcome! Today is the first day of our eight day Christmas 2017 die release launch! There are four posts a day for each day to showcase the 40 new dies in the release. I am very proud of how these have turned out and have truly enjoyed making samples to share with you for all of them. As I do with each and every die release, one set of each of the dies will be give away after the blog launch. All you need to do is leave a comment on any of the posts showcasing the dies that you would like a chance to win. You can comment on each and every blog post during the launch, but please only one comment per post. You need to make your name memorable too so there is no mix up as to who the winning die goes to (remember I only have one set of each design to give away!) Use an alias or add a funny line to your name, add the city, state or country where you live, anything, just make sure that you make it memorable, such as Crafting Janet in Solihull, or Chocolate Crazed Cathy, the Crazy Cat Lady in California, etc. I'm sure you get the idea! The drawings will be done and posted on the 28th of June, so don't forget to check back then!
First up is the 2017 Christmas Angel. Each and every year I do a limited edition Christmas Angel, once it is gone, that is it, it doesn't get reordered. This years angel has been done in a completely different style, but I think you will love it! The angel is smaller than years past (as per your requests) and it comes with it's own background too. The angel is shown here in vintage gold card in a unique silhouette style with subtle debossed lines and twinkles. The background has more dominant twinkle stars which surround her. She is shown here by herself, but you will be seeing loads more samples of her and the background in the coming months. Leave a comment if you would like to be entered into this drawing. The next post is at 12 noon today. All for now, Sue x

Oh wow Sue, what a start to your new launch, beautiful due and card. Must have the Angel, I have all the others.
ReplyDeleteDragonsnap welcome back, glad you had a lovely holiday.
Laine, lovely to see you, hope things are easier for you now. Stop fishing for compliments, you know you were well and truly missed X
Saba, think you are outvoted, Durham is up there with the promised land.
P so sorry about your hand. Yeti must be a really damaged cat, poor thing but you will bring him round.
Cheryl, thank you and all if the ladies for your kind words of support, it is good to be able to lean on your shoulders, so many colleagues leaving as they can't take any more of the bad management, so sad it used to be such a happy place to work.
Well done Maureen on going solo, don't you dare challenge Elaine, she us nobbled at the moment.
Dreadful events at Grenfell Tower in London, truly scenes of horror, all those poor people trapped in that fire. My heartfelt sympathies to all involved and their worried families. Once again our emergency services, hospitals, police and fire brigades came up trumps, they are marvellous.
Daily hugs to all, enjoy the new blogathon.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteExcited to see your new dies in this release. The angel is so pretty and being smaller I am sure it will be versatile. Our thoughts are with those poor people involved in the Grenfell Tower catastrophe.

Great start to the Christmas launch with your angel die, Sue, and a lovely card - can see we're in for a happy ride!

Good morning Sue, lovely die to start the new release with. Have had a sneaky peak via Julia Watts of some of the collection and cannot wait to see how you use them.

Great start to your new release Sue xx love the new angel and it's brilliant she's smaller xx love Kim D
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, there couldn't be a better way to kick off the new Festive die launch, than with your Angel for the year. Love the card, and great idea to have a background with the Angel. Looking forward to all the rest. Have a great day all. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much a beautiful angel and card.
My heartfelt sympathy to all the people in the tower fire.
Take care all Kitty.
What a lovely start to my day! I have pre-ordered a couple of your new dies and I'm looking forward to seeing all of them showcased here.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and what a glorious start with the new Angel die, she is beautiful. I do enjoy your launches as it enables us to see the real beauty of the die and all its detail.
ReplyDeleteEchoing Pam's words on the dreadful events at Grenfell Tower. My heart goes out to all who lived there.
Marion S x
Morning Sue. I've been looking forward to this year's festive dies, to the samples you're about to share with us since the previews on various websites. It's amazing how your designs have changed since the very first festive release you did and I love how you've done the borders, the frames and tags etc won't give too much away just in case there are followers that like surprises. This year's little beauty is just that, beautiful. I won't mention the blog to my keeper as I'd like his heart rhythm to remain within the normal limits so we can celebrate our anniversary when it arrives lol Christmas in June ?!!? Would be the reaction lol.
ReplyDeleteI will have to dip in when I can as we are treating ourselves to lunch out but I'm really looking forward to the rest of the launch today and the days to come.
Have a wonderful exciting day dear Sue xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA great start to your Christmas Die Launch.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the people effected by that devastating fire.
As the mother of a Fire Fighter I thank God they do not have to deal with fires like that every day.
Remember! the Fire Fighters are the ones running into a burning building when people are running out.
I hope they get to the root cause of what happened ASAP and people find out soon about their loved ones.
Pam as always a great Summary.
Have a great day everyone

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start I don't live near any craft shops that sell your products so seeing them before I buy is brilliant.Pam can I echo your comments today what would we do without you
Beautiful die and card Sue, love your Christmas angels x xhazel
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue, what a lovely die to start with and a great card. AliJ
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteWoooohoooo!!!! x x x x x
What a start to this highly anticipated (in my opinion) festive collection - quite comical that yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far and here we are getting excited about Christmas x
Please can you all take a moment to be impressed by the fact that I am commenting so early x
Hobble and Wobble made it home in good time and were going out for something to eat last night x
So shocking to watch the horrific scenes of the fire. Such a tragedy - thinking of all those poor people who have been affected. It was incredibly touching to see all the kindness of strangers regardless of their background or religious belief x
OK going to rest up in preparation for the next amazing reveal x
Take care

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to start the release of your Festive Collection but with the Limited Edition Christmas Angel. She looks lovely on your beautiful card so I can only imagine what she looks like in person. Looking forward to seeing how you have used all of the dies in the release.
Looking forward to Noon.
Beverly from Maryland, USA
Fabulous start to release! Gorgeous Christmas Angel, thanks for making her smaller :). Debra x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue. A beautiful angel card to start your new launch. Lovely that she's a bit smaller than previously too. Xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Such a beautiful angel to launch your new collection. Love seeing all your posts, just a shame I'll have to wait until tonight to catch up on the rest of the days offerings.
ReplyDeleteLaine, welcome back, hope you are feeling better. Saba is correct, Yorkshire is God's Own Country. Pam, my shoulder is always here for you to lean on. Can you imagine if we could all work together! Productivity would be off the scale because we would all be supportive of each other and happy, not to mention a staff room full of Sue's goodies to play with a lunchtime! Hugs to all. Sue xxx

ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to this Christmas collection. The angel is lovely. Can't wait to see what else you have for us.
Take care everyone. Xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a wonderful start to the day and you 2017 festive blogathon, we have all been waiting with baited breath to see your samples and quite rightly so that the 2017 Angel is up first, she is so beautiful, am pleased it is a little smaller (not that I don't like the previous angels - I have them all) I like the detail of the twinkles and lines that are there and I am looking forward to seeing more samples in the weeks to come. You have come up with a real winner here.
ReplyDeletePam I reiterate all that you have said above. My heart goes out to everyone involved with the terrible fire in London yesterday, as you and everyone on here has already said, our wonderful services and people of all backgrounds have joined together at this terrible time to help. My granny lived in Latimer Road many years ago before these flats were built, I recall that her flat was pulled down to make way for tower blocks.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful design and great addition to your angel collection. X

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous start to your new die launch. This smaller angel is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
My sympathies go out to all who have been affected by the fire in London.
Hugs.
Another beautiful angel Sue. I missed your first one but have the others. Lovely card. I can see this one being very popular especially as slightly smaller than previous years.
ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers to all those involved in whatever way with the fire. Horrendous news but great to see how everyone has rallied round regardless of race, colour, creed. These disasters seem to bring out the best in people but still a shame that they have to happen.
Crafty hugs to all.

Morning Sue, lovely start to your Christmas release. I have all the other Angels. Look forward to noon. Like everyone else I am saddened by yesterday's horrific fire. How much more can our country cope with. My husband was a fire fighter for 30 years and he said he had never seen anything like it. Glad to see the community pulling together to help

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue. WOW WOW WOW A fantastic start to your new die release and you had to put the 2017 Christmas Angel first as she is simply stunning as i have all of your other Angels i will have to get this one to keep my collection going,
ReplyDelete(Thats my excuse and i am sticking to it) lol. The card is gorgeous with these colours making it rich and expensive looking. Really looking forward to the rest of your beautiful sample cards to get some ideas on how to use your new dies for my christmas cards. Good Luck for your launch Sue but reading everyones comments they are a great success already. So sad about the tower block fire my heart goes out to all those people affected and thank goodness to all those emergency services they do such a fantastic job under difficult circumstances.
Best Wishes.

ReplyDeleteVery excited about the new launches! Love Christmas and making cards for this time of the year. The Angel die is beautiful and would be a glorious addition to any crafters collection. looking forward to all the forthcoming launches!
Take care.
Fabulous card and die Sue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteA great card to show at the start of your new Christmas dies launch. Lovely that she has her own background as well.
Beautiful card and die.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteDear Sue,
Congratulations on bringing all these new designs all the way to launch!
And thank you for making us all so very happy!
This first sample must have about five new dies in it. I have to agree with Nancy from Belgium that the little border is awesome.
The Littlest Angel sounds like the name of a Christmas book. But it's this die!
I'm just sorry I got here too late to have collected all the others.
Happy anniversary Stephanie! Will you tell which dies your groom snuck into the closet for you?
Way to catch the early bird, Yvonne. Love your family stories. Glad your fog is lifting.
Happy (belated) Birthday to Rebecca, but it's not belated if you keep celebrating for the rest of the month! And you're such a youngster!
Laine, I'm glad you're back. Sorry you weren't feeling well, but glad you looked in when you didn't feel like being seen. You don't have to be entertaining and amazing all the time. You could just say "Wow" or "Crikey" or "Yo," and it would count as a comment for Sue.
Now I'm going to look at a retailer to see how many of the new dies are part of this first chapter in The Prettiest Angel story.
CraftySueToo, are you kidding? If we all worked together we would not get a single lick of work done. We'd be in the break room all day, making cards! But if we all worked together making samples for Sue, you might have something there!
Love,
Donita
Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow what a fantastic start to your Festive die release. Another lovely Angel die & with a background will be useful. I have all your previous Angel's & they are all superb in there own right. Yvonne xx
Hi Sue and everyone. A beautiful Angel and love the background comes with it as well. Def on my list . What terrible news from London again, my heart goes out to all those affected. We truly have remarkable emergency services. Elaine H so lovely to have you as a Facebook friend, will message you later. Love and hugs to Pam and Crewe Trish and all who need one right now xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Sue, a lovely card showcasing your new angel heralding the start of the launch. She is beautiful and with the addition of a background will be very useful. I am intrigued by the delicate borders but will wait patiently for their reveal.

Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have chosen a stunning die to start off this new launch.
The card is absolutely gorgeous.
Love Brenda xxx
Lovely start to your launch and I love your Angels, everyone you do has a slightly modern twist whilst still maintaining the traditional look. I don't usually do Angels, but do now have a couple in my die collection. Slowly converting me to a traditionalist....
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteYour angel is beautiful and I can hear the trumpet sounding, I think she's breaking down my wall of resistance. She will have company with the others already in my collection!
Pam, are you back to work today? If so, don't let the b*ggers get you down!
Elaine, hope you are feeling much better today.
Alimecca, hope your knee is behaving.
Patricia, you know I am full of admiration for your wonderful son and all he does for the community.
Rosmarie, your husband is also to be admired for his contribution to our safety over the years.
Yvonne, are you trying to finish me off altogether. Posting so early, it's enough to give me a heart attack ha ha. Take care, see you after 12 - I've just snuck in under the morning deadline!
love to all who are poorly, bereaved or lonely, and their carers.

Hi Sue. WOW !!! What an amazing card to start your new Christmas die launch !!! Your new Angel is BEAUTIFUL !!! I love it. Great that she is smaller than previous Angels ( I have them all !!! ) I MUST have your new Angel to as I collect them all. I do love making my 8 x 8 " square cards for most of the year but at Christmas time I think it is better to make my Christmas cards a bit smaller size as I have lots to make and the cost of postage to. I am really pleased that you have made your latest Angel with her own matching background to. Another bonus !!! I really like the borders you have made at the sides of the card. Can't wait to find out more about them to. Thank you for a fantastic card and fantastic start. Sending you lots of love Sue from Tres x x x
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the horrific tower block fire in London. Thank God for our amazing, courageous fire fighters, police and ambulance services. Sending much love and hugs to you all. x x x

This Angel looks gorgeous and a lovely background as well. Thank you so much for this Sue. Thinking of all those affected by yesterday's fire in London. Echoing what Pam and Patricia have said.
ReplyDeleteWOW Sue, this is a wonderful die.. Different from all the others, and I love the background to it, too.
ReplyDeleteYour festive collection 2017 is amazing.
Hugs, Rose
Fab! Time to get cracking on those Xmas cards :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, well its started, the Christmas rush is on. I've already ordered this die and can't wait for it to arrive. Fabulous card and well done a great set of dies. Happy Christmas. Arlyn
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
ReplyDeleteOh, i am sooo excited.....though not excited enough to comment at 6.30am Yvonne, are you trying to do me a mischief? As you know, ive not been a huge fan of angels over the years, much prefer a snowflake, poinsettia or snowman, but this little beauty definitely changes my mind. I love the fact that she is smaller but with the added bonus of a background i cant see why she would not join my collection pronto. The card sample is stunning and features a few interesting dies that are really intriguing me, particularly the borders and background to the wonderful sentiment. I don't care if its summer and mid June...not that you'd notice with this dreadful weather:-(.....i am ready for Christmas and all the sparkle and glitz that entails!
I'll comment in more detail later on. Hope everyone is well and has a nice day enjoying this crafting feast...my thoughts and prayers are extended to those affected by the fire in Kensington, the emergency services have done us proud yet again and should be commended for their valour.
Love and crafty hugs

You are very good at giving us stars and other extras on Die sets which come into their own after we get them home! Beautiful card too - love the frames!
I meant to comment earlier - saw PP 's comment and promptly passed out! Only came round a short while ago! Lol! Wow!
Echoing everything you have said Pam. Knowing Patricia and the parents of someone in the Metropolitan Police makes me think of their families too when tragedy strikes. We owe them an awful lot!
See you later , all being well. This Angel must join my others!
Love to all,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen!!) xxx
I love your angels. I am pleased this year's angel is smaller. Your design today is lovely. Forty new dies in this latest die release - WOW! Looks like I will have to get a job with pay to help me buy all the ones I surely will want of these. Looking forward to seeing more of these dies.
ReplyDeleteLovely angel and versatile. She would make a lovely musician or dancing girl by simply trimming her wings or trumpet off.

Wow another lovely angel from this launch! I have the other angels from the other collections and would definitely collect this too. Ivy Ling, Lincoln x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great addition to your angels Sue. I am looking forward to see what you have created with this collection. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I didn't ask for a smaller angel with an outline cut but here it is, I pulled my 2016 angel out a few days ago getting ready for Christmas wishing it had a outside die.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue, you are so talented.

Hi Sue, Another stunning Angel to join the collection, this is so different from the previous Angels, but it is stunning as always, I love how you have used it on your card, truly beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
Really like this angel!!! She is posed like she has something she is celebrating! That I like! And to have a background to go with her is a real plus!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, love this card, its shows off the die really well. Wasn't sure about this one bit I've changed my mind now x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I have been looking forward to the Christmas launch since you told me you would be making your Christmas samples after Ally Pally and your 2017 Angel is a great way to start the launch. I am pleased you have decided to make it smaller this year as it makes it so much easier to use.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Like that you have given a background too. The angels are always beautiful. Love and hugs Alison xx
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to start showcasing your new collection, your Little Christmas Angel is beautiful and this year she comes with her own starry background, wonderful. I'm playing catchup today, we've been decorating all day and this is the first time I've got to sit down properly.
Pam I echo your thoughts today, our firefighters deserve a medal for what they did yesterday and they are in my prayers today, they will need lots of support in the months to come to help them deal with such a harrowing experience. My thought and prayers also for all those poor people affected by this latest tragedy.
Love and hugs

Although I am not religious, I do like to send religious cards to friends who are and this smaller angel fulfils the brief on two counts as it is also smaller and ideal for keeping postal costs down.

Gorgeous angel. Love this.
