Hi crafters! We are starting off the day with one of the largest dies in the Mini Expression range; Merry Christmas. I was just able to fit this one in under the wire to get it into the mini expression category. It is a lovely mix of fonts but it really makes a statement on any card I think! Again, the two words can be nipped apart for maximum usage so it is a very versatile sentiment die. I know this one will be a real go to for your festive card making. I would love to read your comments about it, let me know what you think. The second post will be online for your viewing at noontime today. I will look for you then. All for now,

This is a great sentiment die, in a really modern font. I like how it's mixed. The card is very beautiful.
CraftyPattyT
Love the mix of fonts on this card. Looks great on your card today.
Wow Wow wow now that says it all and you wouldnt want a lot of other things on the front so the sentiment says it all, this I like. Gorgeous card too. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A good chunky font makes this another great stand-alone sentiment.
Like the richness of this card.
Can't believe I am up this early commenting...... I am off on a day trip jaunt to the Scillly Isles this morning and it is an early start to get the ship in Penzance.

Morning Sue. A very different style of card this morning. It's not a sentiment I use on the cards I fumble together and just for one reason - someone once said at market when browsing my cards that there are quite a few very religious people that equate the saying "Merry" along with drink, so that has stayed in my mind for years, and considering its what I sell at market that funds my die and folder collection (apart from being gifts) I have to listen to the idea's and thoughts of those I meet, so although I really like the font, design and size, again I wouldn't use it, don't waste a die on me when someone out there would love to have the chance ☺
Really looking forward to the next post Sue, have a lovely day wherever you are xxx
Great size greeting.
Morning Sue, this is such a brilliant die, the mix of fonts makes it very contemporary and it works perfectly with the modern feel of your card. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Morning Sue
What a great die, love the font and it will be so useful
I like your card very much

Morning Sue.
Thank you a lovely card and die set.
Take care and have fun Kitty Davies.
Beautiful card. I recognize dear Natalie not only in the rays that draw attention to the sentiment, but also in the halos of swirliness.
I seem to have two dies very much like this Merry Christmas, so I'll be like Stephanie Cotterill and asked to be skipped if you happen to pull my name for this one.
But I do want to say how amazed I am to hear that some people object to the Merry part of Merry Christmas!
I would never buy a die that said Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays because it's been drummed into me that that would be like renouncing my faith. (If I send a card to friends who are Jewish, I use "Wise men still seek him," which has many layers of meaning, none of them insulting.)
It seems to me that many more of your customers, Stephanie, have never heard of the Merry being shameful and would love a Merry Christmas card. Especially if it's a mini. Maybe you can have a secret stash of them for certain customers.
Sometimes when everyone is wishing each other a Merry Christmas, I say Mary, Jesus and Joseph Christmas, just for fun, and as a reminder.
Best to all,
Donita
Morning Sue, I already have this die and love it! Still need to get the rest of the sentiments though! Lovely card! Love Jean xxx
Love all the Mini Expressions dies Sue. The card is gorgeous too.
Annette x
Morning sue and everyone.
This is a lovely little mixed font die. And it looks great on the card you have made. The card, to me, has an opulent art deco look and the mixed fonts of the die compliment it so well. Xxx
Great mix of fonts. Like how it could be snipped into. Makes it so useful for using with other dies

Hello Sue,
Love your sentiment and mini sentiment dies and love the use of mixed fonts - I think this gives a modern feel.
I see from the side bar that you will be back on our screens on the 30th June and 1st July. I will have to make sure that my suitcase is packed so I can watch the shows on the 30th June and set the recorder for 1st July and watch these shows when I return from my holiday.

I love the way you do your sentiments and the font is perfect. This die is big enough to be the main part of a 6” x 6” card, especially if you are making a lot. 😀. Thank you Sue xxx

Good morning Sue,
A lovely card with your beautiful sentiment & I love how the fonts are different in this one. Yvonne xx
I’ve bought this one already I wanted to ensure I didn’t miss out and retailers sell out I’ve never done that before I always wait to see what you create first
So I’d rather have the chance to win a different set in the collection
But I wanted to say that this sentiment will never date and it’s gorgeous The perfect size for small and large cards alike

Good morning Sue your card is stunning I love it. That sentiment is gorgeous. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie

Hi Sue,
A gorgeous addition to the mini collection.
The mix of font types and the varying sizing, really emboldens the effect on your delightful sample.
A timeless classic and a worthy investment! (This is my usual line to the husband!LOL).
Croquet Queen x
A great sample.
Fabulous die, Sue.
Anne (Northampton)
Fabulous, really looks terrific.
Hi Sue - another good size die and a wonderful font. All your sentiment dies would be great additions to own. Sending best wishes
YvonneMayxx
Good Morning Sue. This is a lovely card Sue. I love your Merry Christmas die. And its big enough to make a statement on its own. I can see it now nestled inside anyone of your frame dies..... the ovals and circles.... the squares and rectangles...... and my own favourites the the hexagon and octagon dies. So yes I will be acquiring this very handy die. Sending best wishes to everyone this morning. Good luck to everyone who comments today. Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Hi Sue
A lovely card made with lovely dies. I love the sentiment die, just the right size for lots of cards. Can be used Year after year too.
Teresa, enjoy your trip to the Scilly Isles. Sounds lovely, would love to go one day.
Love Helen xxx
Hi Sue a lovely die to start the day and one that I'm sure will become a go to die. Love the font.
Wendyx
I love your mini expression dies in general, including this one!
Hi Sue,
Another one for my stash and this one is large enough to be used on it's own with maybe one or two poinsettias for embellishment and job done!
Steph - I always think that those peeps who equate Merry with boozing are such killjoys, I do wonder at their mindset - to me Merry has a very Victorian feel to it, I always think of Scrooge who eventually saw the light and had himself a very Merry Christmas!...lol...you can always leave off the greeting and offer peaople a choice at point of purchase.

Beautiful card and another very useful and lovely sentiment die!!
Hi Sue, love the font you have used for this one. I am sure these sentiment dies with get a lot of use - I must be getting lazy in my old age as I now prefer to use die cut sentiments rather than going to the bother of getting out my stamps, inks and embossing powders.
