Good morning all! Welcome to the start of day number eight. We are starting out with the new Mary Festive Frame die set. Mary is surrounded with five poinsettias interspersed with lovely swirls. This set can easily be cut apart to use the flowers individually or layered up. As shown in this sample, Mary has been doubled and layered for a more dense look. You can also see how lovely it looks when layered up o the Eve die too. I would love to hear what you think of this set. Is it your favourite? Or do you have your eye on another set?? Just leave your comment and let me know. The next post is scheduled at noontime today. Hope to see you back here then. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue
This is very different and I do like it. Bu I can't imagine any die could surpass Faith as my favourite

Morning Sue. Gorgeous, really pretty to use alone or amongst other collections. As it mentions on the packaging "An Elegant Collection" what more needs to be said ?
Have a lovely day and look forward to spending lunch with you ☺ xxx
Hi Sue, another fabulous die and the card is beautiful too.

Good Morning Sue and all
WOW what a beautiful die ,The festive frame Mary is beautifully designed . Its to difficult for me to pick which is my favourite as it keeps changing each day. To days card is stunning and I love how you have created the background.
Wendy , Pussycats
Morning Sue,
Gorgeous card and simply fabulous Mary die.
Love 7 hugs

Five poinsettias is an odd number, and five sides make a pentagon, and a pentagon, hexagon and octagon are just closer and closer approximations of a circle, but I'll leave Mary to the poinsettia fans.
My favorite is Eve. By far. She has got it going on!
After that the Frosty Snowflake Border, then Natalie, Angelina, Frosty Snowflake Corner, Happy Christmas, Silent Night.
Guilty pleasures are the Mosaic Frame and Baubles and the Snowy background.
Best to everyone,
Donita
Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx#

Good Morning Sue. Well I just don't know what to say ....
Like Wendy ....I have a favourite.... then comes another one and that's my favourite.... it's just beautiful. And if needed you get 5 flower cuts at a time now that's good value. Your sample is lovely. Good luck with the new launch Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone this sunny but very windy morning. Good luck to everyone who comments today. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Gorgeous frame set!!! These poinsettias look really fabulous! Love your card!
Good morning Sue,
Mary is lovely and has great 'snipability' options. I'm struggling to pick a favourite, as all the new female named dies are GORGEOUS! Not surprising really as I'm known for my indecisiveness!x

Good morning Sue,
A exquisite card today with your beautiful Mary frame with beautiful poinsettias. This is a must have for me as my Mum was called Mary & poinsettias are my favourite flowers. Yvonne xx
Beautiful card and die.
This is lovely as my favourite Christmas image is the poinsettia, beautiful card xx
Another beautiful die! I'm really loving these Festive Frames.
Beautiful & elegant, I think this is my favourite lady although it is a close run thing. My favourites keep changing & I’m getting quite confused! I like the way the poinsettias can be snipped & used individually, once again showing the versatility of your dies. Lovely card.
Thank you Sue.
Very pretty and different, I love how this sample looks From Lianne Morrison in the uk
Wa beautiful card. The Mary die does look perfect with the Eve die but I bet it looks great on it’s own too, maybe two together and twisted? Thank you Sue. Xxx

Hi Sue,
I think this one is stunning. Love the poinsettias and the fact that they will be so easy to layer up with just another pass through the machine. Really very pretty and great for quick cards. Love and hugs to all, Alison ( craftyalimecca) xxx

Hello Sue,
Anything featuring poinsettias is a winner with me and this die set is a nice size too...lovely clean and simple card!

Its another lovely one Sue. But favourites so far, although difficult to choose, would have to be the Snowflake background, very closely followed by Eve and Faith. Oh and Natalie and the star background and lol they are all lovely xx

Morning sue and everyone.
Well I'm finding it so hard to have a particular favourite for this collection. So far, all the new dies have been sublime and if i am lucky enough to win one,I would be pleased and honoured to receive any of them.
And of course, this die is no exception. It's beautiful. It looks so different on the card to on the packet. Or us that just me. Lol. Xxx

Hi Sue
A beautiful die set. It will be so easy to snip some away and use them as extras on your card and they will match perfectly. Lovely card too. Still undecided as to which is my favourite as I do have quite a lot of favourites.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue Well isn't Mary so pretty she looks lovely paired with Eve but would look lovely on her own too so difficult to choose favourites they are all lovely!

Fab card and die
Missed this on the pre-order and its gorgeous..beautiful post to showcase...
Hi Sue
Another pretty die set. When I saw this years Christmas dies on the web I didn't think I'd be tempted, your blog launch has brought them to life, I now have so many favourites. I have spent the morning playing with the mosaic bauble, cutting it, layering it, so many possibilities.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Best wishes

Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
I'm 'wowing' again Sue at such a beautiful die set x Mary is fabulous and I love the way you have used her on your card x I'm a sucker for your poinsettia dies so guess which will be my first purchase ! Thankyou Sue x
Theresa w in Berks xxx
The poinsettias are a delight, but the whole die is so pretty. As Mary and Eve look so good together, it's got to be BOTH.
Looking forward to playing with 2018's Angel later as it arrived today. Hugs xx Pauline from Teesside

Hi Sue. What a really pretty die and I think it works really well doubled up as you have done on the card. How unusual to see a die based on the pentagon shape.
You can't have a festive collection without poinsettias and i love this, love the look of it doubled up with the previous gorgeous die.
Such a different style to what I have seen before. Just gorgeous. Engineergirl x
