Hello crafters! Again, I hate to have to say, but this is the final day of the Christmas release blog launch. IT seems to have gone by so quickly! This post is dedicated to the Twin Holly Sprays die set. There are actually three dies in this set. The two holly dies are hooked together, but cut out separately and two matching berry dies. I decided to hook the two sprays so that you could cut them out and use the negative as a border or part of a frame, I found it to be an interesting shape. The holly sprays have been nipped apart and used as accents around the vellum poinsettias in the samples shown. It's comment time, you know the drill! I( will be back at noon for the second post. All for now. Sue x

The leaves and berries look very realistic Sue for the holly, it's been a super die launch x
ReplyDeleteThank you
Another gorgeous card. Very useful die xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a beautiful card and, and a very pretty die set.
Wow these day's have gone so quickly, thank you Sue.
Take care Kitty Davies.
I do love holly and these are more delicate than most. really useful and pretty and will add a lovely element to cards
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, Love the card and design, i have your other holly dies so i need this one! Thank you Helen Terry
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, another die that was added to my list when our pre-launch e-mail filtered through its really pretty and will add that final touch to our festive cards, tags or any project but I was thinking that a very careful snip to remove the holly leaves maybe one of your teensy weensy flowers from some of your floral collections could take the place of the holly giving us a gorgeous swirl with the odd sugared pretty little flower. I've just used the tiny flower (from the tree die which has the bird box, tiny birds and rope swing) I've added the flower to the tree in lots of the branches, and it looks so pretty like apple blossoms, it took a lot of cuts but so worth it, so we could do the same with this die, making it another all year round die. Really looking forward to the rest of the launch but such a shame its our last day of four posts. Whatever your plans for the day hope it's a lovely one xxx
ReplyDeleteAwesome elements to this pretty set of dies! Nothing says the holidays like holly designs.... a favorite!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Holly springs.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a perfect addition to the christmas foilage, love the idea of the left and right facing leaves and the separate berries, another winner for me.
ReplyDeleteShame it is the last day, I hope as a result thst you will gain some more blog followers.
Stay safe health and happy hugs June Smith xxx xxx

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, an absolutely gorgeous card, and how perfect is this die with the winter foliage, my mind is whirring with ideas of how to use this one. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, this holly spray is on my list but it seems to be much more after reading your blog and so versatile. I also like Steph’s idea of snipping the leaves and replacing with flowers for all year round use.
ReplyDeleteMarion S x
I love the holly spray, so delicate & Christmassy. I love your finishing touches & they really do give the card a nice finish. You usually save the best ‘til last & they are usually flowers but we have had the poinsettias so I’m at a loss to think what it will be! I wait with baited breath! Roll on midday. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteAnother great die set. I like the seperate berries too xx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all the Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card I love everything about it and love the Holly spray and berries die
Sending love and healing hugs to all that need them xx
Have a good day all

Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes.
ReplyDeleteWell now,we are almost at the end of the ride and I wonder how many of us have not been able to pick out a favourite. This morning's present is absolutely gorgeous and also interesting when looking at the possibilities. I adore the vellum flowers too and making flowers is not my forte because of my low vision but I'm tempted to try again,
I hope that everyone has a great day.

Beautiful die Sue and such a gorgeous card xx

Good Morning Sue and all
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card this morning and the Holly Sprays die set is beautiful . I love how you are able to create corners or just snip into the die cuts to go with flowers. The extra details of being able to die cut the berries ( the berries would work as snow falling or snow balls to go with your snowman)

Morning Sue, Oh well, all good things must come to an end, but what a lovely way to begin your last day.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and the holly sprays are really versatile. Being able to snip them apart means that they could be used to form a wreath too. Hugs xx Pauline from Teesside
Lovely card and useful holly sprays.
ReplyDeleteKate from Kendal
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThe Holly Sprays are beautifully elegant and you’ve thought of everything, giving the berries separately and linking the two sprays to give a lovely border or frame. The launch seems to have gone so quickly but instead of feeling sad that this is the last day, I’m going to be excited to see all your lovely Christmas cards appearing on the blog every week, will it still be on a Friday?
Love and hugs to everyone

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, love the touches of red and the vellum flowers. I am intrigued with the 'hooked' twin holly sprays and look forward to seeing the negative used as a frame. Your holly dies are always so very useful and I love the swirls on these ones.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteWell I have made it back for the last day of the launch! Have been unable to comment since last Saturday. Haven’t even had a chance to ‘pop in’ until this morning.
I have a day of catching up on what will without doubt be a bevy of beauties in the form of all the cards that I have missed out on in my absence.
What a beautiful card to return to. This is gorgeous. The Holly Spray is a lovely finishing touch but no doubt it will be a lovely feature in its own right!
