Hello there my crafty friends! It is finally time for the launch of the 2018 Festive die release. I will not lie, this is my favourite release to design every year and I have eagerly been awaiting the countdown until I can share this year's collection with you! As always, I am giving away one of each of the dies by doing a drawing of one name from the comments of each of the blog posts. I will be posting the results of those drawings on June 29th for all to see. The rules are simple, one comment per blog post please, but you may comment on each and every post to increase your chances of being picked. Please, please make your name memorable in some way, use more than just your first name as the blog has many friends with the same name and I only have one set of dies to give away. Add in the name of the city you are from or a funny alias or use your middle name and surname initial. Any way you chose to distinguish your name from any one else leaving a comment on the blog. Secondly, please check back to see if your name has been drawn as we have had dies that are not claimed in the past. Now for the first offering, the 2018 Christmas Angel. Every year I do a limited edition Christmas Angel, when we sell out she is not reordered the following year. This year's angel has been designed with more than just Christmas in mind; nip off her wings and exchange the horn in her hand for flowers and you will have a beautiful die to use as a bride for a wedding or anniversary card . I have tried hard to give you more than just Christmas use dies within the total Festive line. Leave a comment to be entered into this drawing. The next post is at 12 noon today. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
Whoopee! The lead up to Christmas! Yeah! So many happy people and so many sad ones LOL!. I love the first post so gorgeous and the edge is lovely. I'm stain glass crafting this morning hopefully and, funnily enough, starting on my Christmas cards - you know me Sue!!
Have a lovely day I can't wait to see the rest of the cards......

Morning Sue, great card to start the launch with, your Angel is beautiful! Can't wait for the next post! Love Jean xxx
Morning Sue. I'm looking forward to see the rest of your new collection over the next few days but as always finances means I'll have to be very picky which I choose that will go down well at market so the 'fun/cutie dies are what I'm waiting to see.
Although she's a pretty Angel I'd like to give someone a better chance of being picked and not be entered into the draw for this particular die if you don't mind Sue. Beautiful colourful first sample. Look forward to seeing what's next, have a really lovely day and don't be nervous this is the day 100's of followers all over the world have been looking forward to ☺ xx
Another stunning Angel Sue, every year they get more beautiful! What a great start! xx

Take care and have fun Kitty Davies I think I am the only Kitty on the blog?.
Stunning card and beautiful die Sue x x hazel
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow what a way to start the new collection with this wonderful Angel, I have all the previous Christmas sets of dies and this one has got to be a must have, everything about the Christmas Angels is inspiring but I do like the idea of snipping off the wings and trumpet, adding a bunch of flowers to convert into a wedding/anniversary type card, genius. That is what I like about your dies, there are always different ways of using them, so versatile.
So looking forward to all the others in the collection.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. The angel is absolutely beautiful. A lovely start to the launch.

Lovely idea to make her 'not just for Christmas'
sandyh(HULL)
Lovely Angel. I think the best so far. My immediate thought was of a modern fairy before seeing your comment about trying to make the die more than just for Christmas. Seems your design has been effective in that! I like the surrounding design.

One of my favourites every year and one way or another I have to have it. Always a versatile die and no different this year. lovely, hugs Jan "moogie" from lincoln x

Good morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes.
I have so been looking forward to seeing your festive launch. This year's angel is on my list. Wonderful start 😃
Diane in Wales xx
Why did you have to go and do that? I have always been able to steel myself enough to resist the angel, but then you make her double as a bride. Twice the justification!
And oh, how you framed her! It's the first day, and my resistance has already surrendered.

Hi Sue, a gorgeous card. Your 2018 Angel is beautiful and elegant.
Good morning again Sue.
What a gorgeous start to the Christmas season. I just love this angel and if/when I buy the die I will make a 'Blue Angel'. Almost 60 years ago One of my babies only lived for an hour and for years I used to dream of her and in my dreams she was blue.
Love.
Marie P.
I'm sure you are busy,busy, Busy with your new launch and I wish you well.

Hi Sue.
Well I can't believe that another Christmas launch is upon us already. It only seems like moments since last year's Christmas launch. But oh how I do love Christmas. And what a way to start your new collection. This Angel is magnificent. And so versatile. I can see that this launch is going to cost me an arm and a leg. But it's all so worth it. Looking forward to it all. Thanks Sue.
Take care everyone.

What a beautiful angel, especially as she will be versatile as a bride too. The border is fantastic on this card.
CraftyPattyT
Oh Sue, never has a die set been waited for more. Since I heard you talk about them earlier in the year I've been saving hard and keeping my purse tightly closed. Another couple of days and I'll be able to craft my Christmas cards.
This year's Christmas Angle is beautiful. Another great keepsake and a beautiful card. Well done on a fabulous collection. A
Hi Sue
Another Christmas angel and she doesn’t disappoint! Great start to your Christmas launch. A lot of excited people out there with bated breath.... l love the beautiful colourful frame too.

Hi Sue, your Angels are always beautiful a it's great that you can use her as a bride, always a bonus.
Wendy x
I am really liking this year's limited edition of you Christmas angel. Wonderful lines in your angel's wings and dress. Pleased you designed this angel so one can do a nip here and a nip there to transform this angel into something else. You think of everything for us crafters to get the most out of your dies. I'm greatful. I think I would like to do a stainglass look to her using glossy accents on acetate mixed with pixie powder for color. And also adding glitter to the glossy accents for her beautiful wings. WOW! I think I have just designed my Christmas cards for this year. That's a first for me to know this early in the year what Christmas card design I wish to make. Thanks Sue!
Hi Sue a lovely way to start your new die release. This year's angel is beautiful. Love from Jackie xx
WOW What a beautiful way to start the launch, your wonderful and stunning christmas angel.
She is stunning and it is fantastic how you have designed this to be snipped and used for other occassions.
Beautiful! Love this card
This year’s angel is absolutely stunning and so versatile, with a few snips converting it into a non Christmas use. Certainly a must have this one!

Really loving this one, so now on the wish list!!!

Hello Sue,
What better way to start the Festive Collection Die than with the 2018 Christmas Angel. She is quite lovely and a must have for anyone who collects your dies. I like the ideas you have given us for clipping the wings, etc. to make her more versatile. She's a must have on my list.
Beverly
A beautiful angel and lovely to have as a limited edition. if you clip her wings, could you join them together to make a card with just the wings? Angel wings is a classic image.
Jomada-Dawn
Hello Sue I know I have missed this post & a few others as I've been poorly but just wanted to say how lovely all the Dies & posts I have missed. I love this year's Angel.
Love Lynda xx
A lovely angel and I love your suggestion of clipping off the wings to use the die cut for other occasions. Stunning card!

Beautiful angel, Stunning. Gorgeous. just a few of the word to describe this die.
As you are excited to show off the Christmas launch, we are excited to see what's in store for 2018 Christmas cards (my favorite cards to make). The year's angel is always a hit. I truly think this one is my favorite. 2018 needs an angel and I will be using her a lot.
Thank you for a stupendous launch.
As I was traveling during the launch, I have had to fill in missed spots after I got home but I will not miss any of the dies.

Hi Sue
Your angel is very beautiful I love that you can use it as a bride too. the sneak peak at the stained glass window border is also stunning. I've worked backwards this time as I've had a lot to catch up on, and the collection is absolutely stunning and I really love the fact many designs can be used all year round. Well done my wish list as ever has grown enormously.
With best wishes
