Typewriter Grid Alphabet

Welcome back crafters!  This post is dedicated to the Typewriter Grid Alphabet die set.  This set is unique in that it cuts out each letter as a debossed circle, but it also gives you the circle grid to fit them back into as well.  The lovely old fashioned typewriter look to it was  designed to work well with the Industrial Chic collection as well as holding it's own with any number of other die sets.  Shown here, I have used it as a background instead of an alphabet so you can see the versatility to it.  I would love to see your comments as well as allowing you a chance to win this wonderfully useful die set!  The last post of the day is at 3pm today.  All for now, Sue x

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
I’m Sure You’re Now Aware That Your New Collection Of Cutting Dies Are Definitely
Outstanding Plus Most People Absolutely Adore Them.
I’ve Tried Numerous On-Line Shops Hoping To Order A Selection Of The Industrial Chic Collection
I Couldn’t Believe It Most Of The Exquisite Cutting Dies Have Sold Out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Hope They Get Them Back In Stock Very Soon, This Card Is Exceptional Where You’ve Used
Coconut White/Black/Gold Card, The Magical Industrial Chic Swirl You’ve Cut Out In Black Also
In White You’ve Taken The Zipper Part From The Industrial Chic Background, Then Added The
Superb Words From The Expression Collection (ART)
The Main Cutting Die Being The Tremendous Typewriter Grid Alphabet From The Expression Collection
Which Is Extremely Useful.
I Really Hope The Shops Get Your Dies Back In Stock Really Quickly I’m Thrilled This Collection Has Been
A Winner For You ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs ๐Ÿค—
Love From Sam xxx

Lovely card.

Cdteach said...

So many variations with this as you have the grid and the letters to play around with. It never hurts to have another alphabet.

Hi again Sue, another great card. The typewriter grid die is so very different and fits so well with your Industrial/Steam Punk range. I remember in the 60's learning to touch type on old heavy black machines which had those round keys.

Hello Sue
Just back from the NEC so tired but it was it was lovely just to see your dies in real life none of the shops around me sell creative expressions.
Pam at least your managers will now realise you are no walk over.

Brenda said...

Hi Sue, what a unique and clever die this is.
My mind is on overtime working out the possibilities of designs I could get from this one die and that's without popping the letters back in.

Ann Topp said...

Good Afternoon Sue. Omg memories... memories. Reminds me of my first typewriter..... somewhere in my head tells me it is still sitting hidden in the back of our outside shed. It will be rusty as hell I know.....but maybe you could send some of that magic of yours to clean it up. Good luck with your new launch Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Gosh, this brings back memories! I learnt to touch type on a manual typewriter... typing to music.... a, s d, f..... ; l k j - I can still hear the teacher reciting that and the music playing in the back ground!!! That tells you I am old ROFL. Thanks for another lovely giveaway. Linda

Littlelamb said...

Hi Sue. Can remember well using a manual typewriter many moons ago. This looks a very useful die and obviously can also be used as a stencil. Thank you. Even though you have to change when the meeting is Zpam so glad you won't be going alone. Hugs to everyone who needs them. Must go and look at the next launch now.

Oh my, this is my favorite die set of the release!!! Brilliant!! You has been so clever thinking to the letters in the circles and the grid! Really a fabulous idea, very useful and versatile!!! LOVE it! Your delightful card shows the grid so well!

Dragonsnap2 said...

Fabulous card and die set. I too learned to type on an upright Remington so this brings back memories. The first time I used an electric typewriter I ended up with two lines of one letter but it didn’t take long to sort out how much pressure to apply and it was definitely easier than the manual.

Lyn Cleasby said...

Great card, Sue. Love the typewriter letters and numbers and that the grid can be used on its own. I don't miss using a manual typewriter but the look of this set reminds me of the changes that have taken place in my life time.

Pawprintx4 said...

I just got the Alphabet Grid and do love it. I can't tell (assuming yes) that the letters come out so they could be rearranged. I would want to color them in with a white pen.
Everyone, hope that this has been a good day for you,

Hello Sue
Fantastic card using so many of your new dies as a backdrop to your typewriter grid. It's definitely going on my wish list, I love the fact that you can use it as a stand alone die, independently of the letters.
Still on catch-up will read all the comments later.
Love and hugs for all

Helen Bell said...

Hi Sue and everyone

Love this. I saved up my pocket money to buy my first typewriter from Boots, my sister got some discount on it for me as she worked there. A few years later when I started work, I won a competition and vouchers for Argos, so I bought an electric one with two colours!! Did I think it was brill? In fact I have recently seen it when hubby emptied the lift. Still can’t bear to part with it, although I hate how ‘typed’ words look now compared to computer print. Sorry.....I’ve reminised too much.
This die will be a winner with many as it will be so useful.

Love Helen xxx
