Hello and welcome back! The final post of the day is for the Happy Hour Background, the third die set in the cocktail theme. You may have noticed that it had been used in the previous post and it has been used in this sample as the background for this shaker card. This background has been designed in such a way that it can easily be cut apart into border strips. There are three rows, two positive glasses and one negative cut out row of assorted cocktail glasses. There are stitching lines between the rows so you can easily cut them into borders following the stitching too. I have used the fall away from the centre row of the background as the glasses inside my shaker card. The die set also comes with two outer stitched cutting dies so you can make a lovely frame for it as well. Leave your comments on this one! Tomorrow's posts begin at 6am. All for now, Sue x

Oh, I didn't understand this die, but seeing your card I now do; I was confused by the negative space. It makes a great shaker card using the fall away pieces.

Love this card and the die set! It can be used for different occasions.
Hi Sue,
And another fab card, to end this fab launch day. Those glasses look a bit like the sink after parties when I was young and carefree LOL.
Brilliant die, so versatile.

This set is a winner for sure...love the positive/negative aspect of the die giving you all those cute little glasses fallout and that you can cut it into strips.One really big plus to me is the frames. I struggle to find the right dies for frames and so nice that this set comes with the right size giving the option right out of the package. This is a well thought out die set and I want it!
Hugs,

Love this card sue, my daughter would have loved this yesterday for her birthday crafty hugs Julie laz xxx
Hello Sue
I was wondering about that as I hadn't seen the background and as it brings the other dies together! Really useful, attractive and well thought out sets of dies.
Thank you for all your hard work that you must have put in to design them while keeping your blog going and I know how difficult that is to post every day and you do so without exception plus your tv presentations! You must take a well earned break at Christmas and relax!!

I adore all these cards that are popping up loving that all these dies work together

Hello Sue
I have loved all of todays creations thank you for your inspiration
Hi Sue,
I just love shaker cards and this one would
be great for a party person. A wonderful die.
Regards,
Evis M.
When I saw this die on a pre-launch was too sure, but now having seen it in conjunction with the the other dies and how the 'waste' can be used - its very versatile and I love it...
Fabulous.
These fun time collections of dies take me back to the leaving parties from my working day's when all you could taste was the various fruity ingredients .... coconut and pineapple, Bailey's etc, that was until the outside atmosphere hit you and WALLOP !! And that's a good place to leave my tales of younger days gone by before I say something incriminating 😳
Never made a shaker card successfully so now is the time to start if I'm lucky, can always stencil through the die as a good background too. How about a barrow or basket full of empties lol or a cheeky monkey holding a glass !! Anyway, so many options for the cocktail hour collection. Think I'm too 'over the hill' to enjoy one and remain sober as it goes straight to my head now, id find myself resting under the shade of a tree wondering how i got there 😉
Lancashire Steph - signing out with just the sound of a ticking clock, ahhh sheer bliss xxx
Hi Sue a great card all three died today are fantastic.
Catherine V94 xx
Hi Sue what a wonderful Die set I love the background

Lovely card you have crated &I love that you can also make a frame too.
Love & Hug's Lynda Brock xx

Hi Sue,
'Bobby Dazzler'background!!
It's like Happy Hour :-)
Your sample's brilliant, the way you transform a die into something extra special is unique to you. I for one adore shaker cards and I'm just in awe at the dies you metamorphosize, there's truly something for everyone!!
Krafty Runner x
A really fun die set
It’s 5 O’ Clock Somewhere! Love this and can see lots of great Celebration cards made with it! TFS!
Great card Sue. x
Hi Sue and everyone
A fitting end to the day with all the glasses piled up!! I don’t even feel tipsy! What a fun, innovative background die, leaving all the fun fall away pieces to use as well. Genius. I know I’ve said it before but the font is really lovely on the Cheers, very elegant.
Rose, you got me really baffled as to what a sink after party was, until I realised what you meant. Ive not even had alcohol, just looked at pictures of cocktails!
Love Helen xxx
Good Afternoon Sue. Brilliant idea this is Sue. Although I had to study it first to work out the glasses.....and now I think this is what I may have to do soon. Hey maybe i should go to specksavers. What do you think. Good luck with the new launch Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Hi Sue
Fab card again , loving all the cards and dies in this selection.

Good evening Sue,
Great card & can be used for many different occasions. Yvonne xx
Love the card Sue, shakers are always popular, the die is a fantastic background for the part dues and hiw useful the fall away glasses will be.
Julie Laz, so glad you are home from the hospital, it has been a long time. I hope you are doing well. Lovely if your hubby to get you the dies, he must be so happy to have you back with him. You are both so lucky to have each other.
Loving how everyone finds the launch so gorgeous. There is something here for everyone.
It took me a minute to see the design when looking at the die. Quite clever.
Hello Sue,
What is a cocktail without a "Shaker" to make it. But your version of a shaker is just the perfect end to this day of happiness.
Looking forward to tomorrow and wondering what delights you will have for us.
Beverly
Hi Sue,
I love this background die. Your shaker card is beautiful! I want the entire cocktail collection. I do not have anything like this.

Fabulous background die to add to the set. All the cocktail dies will be so fun to work with.

Good evening Sue and all. A great back ground die to add to the collection . Its will work so well with the other sets. I am really enjoying the collection .
Wendy
Great shaker card, love the look of the background x
Only one thing to say, cheers Sue
Hi Sue,
beautiful background idea and your card looks like celebrating an aftershow-party.
Rolf xxx
Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Yet another AM-AZ-ING card and die set, you have really excelled yourself with this theme Sue, I absolutely love it! I may be alone in this but the background keeps playing havoc with my eyes, I don’t automatically see the glasses on the negative top and bottom lines and have to concentrate :-) Nevermind, the effort is worth it, the effect is fabulous and i love it as the background to this card sample...the shaker effect is great, using the fall away cocktail glasses is ingenious. All this thought of cocktails and alcohol has reminded me of my misspent youth propping up bars in Stirling and Ayr, happy memories so thankyou for bringing to mind happier days for me:-)
Julie, welcome back! So sorry to hear about your hospital stay and memory problems:-( but how lovely for you to have such a kind and generous hubby, lucky you:-)
Rosemary, i am currently putting off watching the Strictly results show, think that Aston is in severe danger despite my votes, Craigs 4 was a disgrace and could see him out of the competition which would be such a shame:-( i found the show so hard to watch as he slipped down the leaderboard, hope you enjoyed it and your favourites did well:-)
Stephanie has the right idea, the fireworks have been at their worse tonight, so bad that Darcey has taken refuge in the wardrobe.....i tried to put her out later last night and as she was pondering a banger in the distance put her off:-( , my mum and I eventually had to physically lift her and take her out, i felt like such a bad mother but she wont use the litter tray and would have been out in the middle of the night when she eventually got desperate. Expecting more trouble tonight, might encourage her by taking her for a walk myself......
Saba, what age do you think i am? Didn’t decimalisation come in in 1971?.....I wasn’t even born then i’ll Have you know! I’m a child of the modern age of microwaves, computers and mobile phones, okay the phones may have been the size of a small suitcase and the computers took 30mins to load a game when i was a girl but still......:-)
Sending hugs to all, hope you are enjoying the launch as much as I amxxx
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Sue
I had noticed these in the background but had assumed they were funky new papers! What a perfect addition to the set. Thank you for sharing.

Hi again Sue, another great fun card and die. The background frame is ideal for lots of different themes not just cocktails.
Hello Sue, well yet another clever card and dies. Lovely set again today. Interesting to see what tomorrow brings Carol x
Hello Sue,
I like the positive negative aspect of this die. I must admit it had me confused in the first sample you showed and like Laine I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. Love the shaker card.
Pam you are spot on, there is such diversity to this Launch and something for everyone. Chic grunge, gardening fans and now something for all the drinkers amongst us, which reminds me has Myra commented yet!
Oh my word Lorraine, you are but a child compared to the rest of us! I do hope Darcy doesn't use your shoes as a substitute litter! I still want to borrow some of them.
Love and hugs for all
Saba xxx
Hello Sue,
I love your take on a Cocktail Shaker! I’m not managing to read the comments today although I have read the one above mine! I find it best to ignore said lady though!! I’m not only old , I’m a drinker as well! Huh!
Back to your lovely collection! Today’s cards have made me smile and I’d choose them in a Die Library but there are too many others I’d prefer! You have created something for everyone!
Cheers!
With lots of love to everyone - from not exactly young but still Pre- War ,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen! ) xxx
Aghhhhhh Post - War!! Xx
Very interesting shaker card Sue. Love how you used the fall away parts in the shaker card!
Brilliant card ideas you have used for these dies Sue...luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue, When I first saw this I saw waist coats but now I see they're the glasses cut out. very good and deceptive. Arlyn
Hi Sue, was a bit confused by this die when I first saw it but now I see it and I think its so different to anything else I seen, great to get a positive and a negative aspect.
Wendyx
Hello Sue and all
Just love this whole collection, so many cards sorted for so many people with this set
As usual this is an amazing release Sue, I don’t know how you keep coming up with these great ideas but so glad you do

Really clever background die.
Hi Sue. You can't beat a shaker card and this is a beauty. All of these 3 set's of die's are going to work so well together. I can see load's of possibilities for these die's
Best Wishe4s.
Denise T x
An absolutely fabulous shaker card. You've really thought of everything in this die set with the background, the fall-away and the borders. Love it.
Take care everyone.
Hi Sue,
Love your shaker card, very celebratory.
Well, that is one very clever die. On my first look I could see the row of glasses and two rows of waistcoat front and back patterns. Then I looked again and I saw the other glasses!
Love 7 hugs
Cheryl xxx
Hi Sue, a very ingenious design for this die, it took me a while to realise that the top and bottom rows were glass shapes too. Love your shaker card with the multi coloured glasses. All the cocktail dies sets work so well together and would give you endless possibilities. bx
Hi Sue, a fab shaker card. The dies are such a good idea and so fantastic
Barbara V

Clever die x
Very appropriate for holiday times and parties Sue!!
This is such a fun die background!! It would be great for invitations, birthday cards, new years cards...so many projects!
I love how this die can be a background or used separately by cutting out the individual glasses! Fun and lively.
karenladd in California
Hi Sue. I am really loving your Cocktails die sets. So fab for those special celebrations !!! The Happy hour background die looks like the perfect accompaniment to your other Cocktail themed sets. I love this idea, and the positive and negative add so much extra interest to the background. Of course, the other big bonus is all those cute little cutouts which would usually be the "waste". Fantastic for little embellishments or shaker cards. Thank you for sharing your lovely card and dies. Lots of love to you Sue from Tres x x x
