Festive Collection

Good morning all!  We are starting off day two with a More in depth look at the new Twinkle Star Frames.  Some of you more eagle eyed crafters may have noticed that you saw them yesterday on a couple of the card samples.  These frames have been designed specifically to work with the new Stained Glass collection as well as the Angel and Three Wise Men die sets, but I am certain you will find many more uses for them as well!  Shown in the sample here, I have used them for the inside of the shape as well as the card's background.  The set has been designed with two decorative dies and two stitched cutting edges so you can use them together or as individual pieces to create so many different looks.  If you like this set, you just have to leave a comment to have a chance at winning it!  The next post will be on the blog at 12 noon today, hope to see you again!  All for now, Sue x

    A beautiful start to day 2 of your wonderful festive due launch. The perfect background for a beautiful wreath.
    You bring so much joy and pleasure to your fans and daily bloggers, your demo cards and your talent inspire us all, big thanks Sue.
    Carmen, I am so sorry to hear the Kid is not doing well, physically and mentally. He has been through so much and his family are so far away it is bound to have an affect on him. I agree he does need to see his doctor so they can check on him and his recent surgery, he also needs some kind of counselling. You all must feel so worried and helpless. Hugs to all.
    Gang if Nine, my mind is boggled, bear costumes, coconuts and grass skirts, sounds like something from Panda Pop.
    Keep well and happy everyone, thinking of you all, especially our poorly and missing friends, good to see a few back, missed you.

  12. Morning Sue. Day 2 and a great day, a beautiful festive start with that pop of red. I wouldn't say eagle eyed, just in awe of your work and so gorgeous to keep looking at, so yes I noticed it yesterday too. I so need this useful versatile frame. Like many others I really love these launches I love your designs and the samples you show us for inspiration, but I also just can't wait to see the fb buddies work once their dies arrive through their letter box (or hand delivered due to size of package) I visualise postal workers wearing knee pads to literally crawl up paths to deliver their packages lol. But going back to fb members work, they are so incredibly full of talent and it's worldwide Sue, the talent is endless and all down to the tools you produce and the stunning inspiration you share, you have the biggest heart and I know I'm not the only one that knows that.
    Looking forward to you getting the blame as I open my gift today and I'm excited to see what you have on offer throughout the day.
    Have a great day lovely lady xxx

  14. Dear Sue and My Fellow Enthralled Ones:

    I'm pretty sure I see the subliminal message in the Twinkle Frames. It says: Skip the regrets. Just get these now.

    Thanks so much Sue,

    Love,
    Donita

  15. Good morning Sue. Wow! This is a stunning card and the versatility of the background die set is amazing. I'll never be rich with all these wonderful dies you keep designing, but I'll always be happy.

  16. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, yes, yes, yes love it, this sample is fantastic, it is going on my list of must haves. I also like the flower and foliage hidden away behind it, me thinks this could be another set of dies coming up.

    I am out today at an Open Day so I will comment later when I get home.

    Pam I reiterate all you have said above.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  96. Morning Sue and all,

    This die didn't really register with me when I had a peek at the pre-release info on one of the online stores. I can see now just how useful and versatile it will be - all-year-round and not just for the Christmas season. But I'm itching to try it in frosty colours along with some snowflakes. And I love the way you always put places for pearls/gems...

    Congratulations on yet another amazing release.

  138. Hi Sue, I know that I will run out out of superlatives before the end of the launch so hope you won't mind lots of repetition. I absolutely love this card it is gorgeous. The Twinkle Star Frames are so delicate and will be very useful on all types of cards. The gilt edged poinsettias are beautiful as are the fronds and swirls.

    Carmen - so very sorry that the Kid is not feeling good. I can appreciate his desire not to see another doctor but if you can persuade him to go you will be doing him the biggest favour ever.

  147. Absolutely gorgeous. Sue, this is another wonderful example of one of the things I love so much about your dies. They all work together so well, you can use pieces from any set they will work perfectly together. And you generously give us so many examples of imaginative ways to do this. Off now to catch up, have missed a few days being away! Oh yes, and to add to the wish list!

  153. Sue this is a fab start to the day, this is going to be so useful for many cards.
    I love how you have used it in two colours which is something I would not have thought of
    as I seem to lack imagination when it comes to colours, I have a feeling all of these dies ( even ones
    you have not shown yet ) are going to be in my collection before christmas is here lol.

    Your Twinkle Star die set makes a lovely background. And yes, I, too, noticed this background on a couple of your other cards. I, also see on this card design, those sprigs with berries that I must have in my collection of your dies and stamps. I like the touch of gold on the edges of your poinsettias and the pearl in the centers of the flowers.

  178. Hello Sue,
    I think this is my favourite card so far! It's quite stunning. I love everything about it and the background frame is beautiful . As you say , useful all year round. Your Poinsettias edged in gold are gorgeous . I have a Christmas card of yours from a few years ago which has been Pinned over and over again! I can see that happening with this one too! Thank you!
    It's been crazy Friday here which is the reason for my lateness!
    I was up very early and should have posted then if only to annoy Yvonne!! When I say early - I don't mean Pam early!!! Lol
    Carmen - great photo! Only just noticed it!
    Love to everyone,
