Hi there my crafty friends! Welcome to the final day of the 2018 Christmas die blog launch. We have three posts today and we are starting with the Christmas Floral Stem die set. Shown here, you can see what a lovely accent it is to use around poinsettias on your cards. There are two left and two right facing stems in the set so you will never have to fidget with them to get them to look the way you want. They are easily nipped into smaller segments if desired too. You know what to do now, there aren't too many chances left now to get your name into into the die drawings. I would love to hear what you think about what you have seen so far. The second post of the day will be along at 12 noon today. I would love to see you back here then. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue. Absolutely beautiful card Sue. And I know its the Christmas launch but if this card was done in other colours....I can see christening cards.... holy communion...... Easter....... even the sad occasion we all hate doing which is sympathy. So yes again not just for Christmas. I still can't decide on a favourite.. they are call lovely. Sending best wishes to everyone. Good luck to everyone who comments today. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Morning Sue. Both the 3 & 6pm samples yesterday were beautiful,
this is the collection that prove really useful to my collection something that can be used on any card at any time of year and this morning's sample shows just that - beautiful xxx
Absolutely beautiful Sue xx
Morning Sue
This is a beautiful card x
Those finishing touches are always the icing on the cake. It may have the word Christmas on the packet but these are definitely going to be 'all year round Floral Stems'.
Always quite sad when I see the words final day but I know all good things must come to an end. I will be back at 12 to view the penultimate offering of this spectacular launch x

I love this card it is stunning and the little stems are just perfect xx
Wow sue, what a stunning card so pretty x
Your greenery always wins me over. These will look good in any floral element any time of year, and I can just see them done in white and spraying out with all kinds of other greenery done in white. That's one of my favorite things you do. I also like when God does it in all colors of green.
Hey, Happy Summer!
I hope you are breathing a sigh of satisfaction knowing you are the pebble that sends an ever-widening ripple of love and beauty around the world. It's nice just to be a small part of it.
Congratulations, and enjoy your Saturday!

Hi Sue,
Absolutely heavenly!!!
Everything about this Christmas card is AWESOME!
Windows...divine, poinsettias...sublime and the floral stems are an absolute gem.
All the dies sit well together and compliment each other beautifully.
Sitting in front of that majestic window, you get the merest hint of foliage behind the poinsettias and BOOM! you have an explosion for the eyes!
For me, the best sample of the blog!

Sue, it has been a wonderful die launch. I have been busy cutting out pieces and looking at the different combinations I can make. I have seen a sneak peek of a 3D poinsettia embossing folder. Do let us know when it will be available, please.

Hello dear lady.
It's been a while since I've commented here sorry but It's been a hard few years but I'm starting to get things under control a bit and even started papercrafting a little again.
Anyway I see your fabulous creations on my Pinterest feed and manage to catch your products on Hochanda too so I had to come by and say Congratulations. Wow, how your designs have grown and your brand developed. I'm so pleased for you, you deserve it.
Your cards have always been amazing and your dies are always what I call crafter friendly dies. Cut in, cut out, cut right, cut left. Make frame or aperture, make shaker or gel bubble... You try always to make your dies versatile and variable (I have nicknamed them your "Variway" or "Meniway" dies. Variway dies cut in or out, cut aperture or frame and Meniway dies do all the above with added bonus of facing left & right too).
Since you first developed your style of dies I've noticed how others have followed your lead. How thrilling for you. May you be a market leader for many many years to come.
Best wishes Linda Burrows xxxx
Again, this isn't a 'just for Christmas' die - looks very versatile.
I've enjoyed all your 'releases' so far - as always! Still don't know where you get your ideas from to keep bringing us all such lovely temptation. :)
A very useful die and I just love the card.
gorgeous card and dies Sue

I think your Christmas floral stem would work with any of your flowers at any time of year, they are lovely and what a beautiful card too

Another beautiful card. I totally agree that having stems going in opposite directions is so much easier than fussing with ones going the same way.

This is another very pretty card, and so Christmass6 - yet these floral stem dies aren't really Christmassy at all, so they'll get plenty of use all year round. Lovely to have them both left and right facing, and in different sizes - it all adds to the versatility. Another great design.
