Hello crafters! Welcome to the Mini release featuring the Industrial Chic Christmas dies. There are eleven dies in this mini launch, all from the Industrial Chic themed Christmas collection. I know that they won't be to everyone's liking, but hopefully you will look at them with an open mind. I wanted to design something that was really different that would possibly appeal to those of you that love the steampunk look. These dies can be made to look as elegant or as grungy as you like so they are incredible versatile. We are giving away a set of each of the dies so leaving your comments will get you entered into the drawings. I just ask that you make sure your name is different from anyone else leaving comments so add an initial or funny alias or the town you are from; just someway for me to make sure that it is you. We are starting with one of my favourites, the Flying Santa. Shown here in gloss white against a pixie powder background, the steampunk detail to Santa's flying machine is outstanding. Personally I would love to see Santa deliver pressies this way! LOL Leave your comment n this post if you like this one and would love a chance at winning it!. The next post will be at 12 noon today. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh this is a really nice die, my granddaughter would love this on her card, she is still at an age when she believes in Father Christmas, such a special time for all children.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

ReplyDeleteHello Sue, what a fabulous and fun die, and your card is just brilliant. I think I am really going to enjoy this release, because you don't always want traditional for Christmas cards, especially for teenagers and more modern and funky families. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteWho knew Santa also likes tinkering with rocket ships?!? Or is that Rudolfkenstein, the red-nosed zeppelin? Maybe the reindeer aren't available for sleigh pulling this year because they're all appearing on so many hand-crafted cards.
ReplyDeleteI'm interested in how you made those ephemeral, other-worldly rays in the Pixied background.
Apparently you have noting to fear, this darling card has won us over!

Ho Ho Ho Sue (yeah I know, cheesy and predictive) but hey why not lol. I've been trying to think about the different style of dies you've given us over the past year and 'steam punk' didn't even enter my head - no great surprise I suppose ! To be fair I'd trim the Santa from his 21st century flying machine as the kind of people I meet at market have never enquired if I have or do this style of card, and as you're aware it's not my style but I know I'll see some superb cards made with this die with all sorts of backgrounds and mixtures of other dies so that I'm looking forward to along with the next new die. See ya'll later and have a productive morning xxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteWow, I am not into steampunk but this card is fabulous and this die is fantastic so much fun. I love it

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you wow a brilliant card.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Good Morning Sue and all
ReplyDeleteWell what can I say but Brilliant , such a different style and I have never seen a Christmas card like it before. For someone like my self what sells my cards for charity this would be so different. I have not seen a sneak peep so totally blown away by the different style from you . I also love the sentiment.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA lovely card and innovative die. I love the background on your card. I’m not into steam punk but reckon I could pretty up this die, and the rocket could be detached for birthday cards.

This card really makes me smile, love it. Thank you Sue, looking forward to your next reveal. Xxx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Brilliant Steam Punk card I love it. I have two sets from your last punk range and I love them. I would clip off Santa after Christmas and attach something else for the man cards. There is so much opportunity with this die. Good luck with the new launch Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

Not to everyone's taste!?! It should be as Steampunk can be all colours and even floral! !! Love the idea of Father Christmas delivering this way.... do the reindeer ride in his sleigh?

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and everyone
ReplyDeleteWell how different this is. It’s about as far away from a Sue Wilson Card as i could imagine
But i love it so inspirational Sue letting your inner steampunk out.
Look forward to your next one at 12pm
Have a lovely day folks

Morning Sue, I hadn't heard you were releasing a mini set but wow how different. The card and die are great and the words how great and unique. Totally different. It is something completely different. WEll done. A
ReplyDeleteI do like a bit of steampunk and this die is quirky enough to raise a few smiles even for those that aren't really into steampunk...………….. a bit Monty Pythonish for those of us old enough to remember.
ReplyDeleteJan
Hi Sue this is a brilliant Christmas card that is an amazing die. Sorry I have't been around much both of my parents are ill. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a beautiful Christmas card. Great for those who like quirky, fun and different.

ReplyDeleteElizabeth Bennett
This is certainly different - I'm not sure about it yet. Love the composition of the card though. Thank you Sue for challenging us with something out of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteHi sue. I love the flying Santa I think the kids will love it too. It's nice to have something different.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about a steampunk Santa!!
ReplyDeleteI think this die is great fun.
Rosemary xx
What a fun die! Love the Santa and your card!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I didn't know what to expect today but I certainly never thought of this! Although industrial chic/steampunk is not my favourite genre I can appreciate it and I certainly like the quirkiness of Santa slung under a zeppelin. I like to sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Sooo cool and different, love it. Jane B x

Hi Sue. I would have to say that I love the Industrial Chic Christmas idea because it is so unusual and I am sure that anyone who is not so keen on the traditional Christmas look would be really pleased to receive a card such as this.

Wow! This is so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I love it A versatile die to use as a steampunk or a traditional Santa simply by snipping away the air ship. I like using stamping for some of my cards for males.
Best wishes, Anne O (Epsom)
WOW!! Talk about a cool yule!! Sue, I love the idea of a steampunk Christmas....such fun!! Nanny Jo N Ireland
ReplyDeleteLove this die... Huge fan of the industrial dies that you have brought us and have them all. Think this is on the want list , no the must have list lol...

Hi Sue, wow more Christmas, love this die, I'll have to try something grungy or mixed media for this one.
ReplyDeleteLori from Canada
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
Love Santa's flying machine, a very novel way for Santa to get around, it would probably be easier for him. Love the Pixie Powder background on this card too.
Cheers,

Charming die!
ReplyDeleteDeniseB in CA
Oh my gosh, this die is so unique and fun. I have so many friends who would love to get a Christmas card like this, tucked in among the usual traditional designs. Love the bold background with the die in white. This is definitely a favorite.
ReplyDeletekarenladd in California
Hi Sue A charming die and lovely card to show it off.
ReplyDeleteLove Rosie from Chorley..xxx
Sue i love this and i know it would bring a smile to the faces of my family.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun seeing santa flying something other than a sleigh lol x
Eeek!!! I just love this awesome die. Santa is really traveling in style here. Thanks for designing a collection with a fun and quirky look!
ReplyDeleteShartl
Hi Sue, this die really made me smile its fab
ReplyDeleteGeordie Jan x
Such a different Christmas die but gorgeous xxx
ReplyDeleteCertainly a different Santa. Love the departure from just traditional.
ReplyDeleteThis did make me chuckle, cool. x
ReplyDeleteWell, this certainly makes for a refreshing change from the usual reindeer-powered sleigh! And, of course, as with most of your designs, it would be so easy to use just the airship or the sledge on its own, with a few simple snips. Snip away Santa and turn the airship vertically, and you have a space rocket too! Or, with some aquatic accompaniments, it could be a Jules Verne-esque submarine!!
ReplyDeleteA fun die with lots of possibilities.
Jomada-Dawn
How original and unique!
ReplyDeleteWho could resist this alternative Santa and sleigh
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely an original. Love it. Hugs Lumbaland xx
ReplyDeletei think this die is hilarious. i never thought of steampunk christmas, but i can see how it could grow on me :), hugs xx
