2020 Christmas Blog Launch / Christmas Angel 2020

Hello there my crafty friends!  Welcome to the Festive Collection 2020 blog launch!  We have 32 dies and the launch will be through the next eight days!  As always, I will be giving away one set of each of the dies through drawings of  names from each of the comments on the posts.  Please make sure when you leave your comment that you leave more than just a first name otherwise there will be confusion as to who the winning die belongs to (and we can't have that, there is only one set per of each die!) Make you name memorable by adding a funny alias or the name of the city you live in, etc. just someway that both you and I will know you are the proper winner of the die.  I will be doing the drawings and posting the winners name on June 21st so please do not forget to check back then to claim your winning die!
    Now for the first die of the launch, the Christmas Angel 2020.  I have designed her so that you can mix and match all of the pieces with last year's angel.  This works especially well if you want to make a card with more than one angel, but have them look a bit different.  Her wings are a lovely snowflake pattern which is something completely different from any angel I have done previously too.  Shown here in her beautiful blue glitter, holding her banner, she could easily be used for card designs that are other than Christmas too.  Leave off the wings and you can have a beautiful bride if you like, there are so many other uses for this years angel.  If you love her as much as I do, then just pop a comment on this post.  Next post is at noon.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I have been so looking forward to this years Christmas release and the 1st up is of course the Christmas Angel and what a stunner she is, I have all the previous ones and use them every Christmas, this has got to be the best one yet, absolutely love it, the wings are so different and I do like that they are separate. What a beautiful dress she is wearing too. Yes Sue this is definitely my favourite. Well done on such a great design.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Marie P. from Longridge said...

Good morning Sue,
How I wish I had this die.I spent ages yesterday looking for last years and haven't yet found it. My 50 year old Granddaughter who's name was Sue lost her fight with Pneumonia 2 days ago so MY ANGEL got her wings and I hoped to make a card with an Angel on the front to give to the mourners next Wednesday at the funeral (10 mourners only allowed) Imagine my surprise this morning when the first picture on my screen was this years Christmas Angel. If my printer was working I would actually STEAL a copy from yours but be assured I will be searching for last years all day if I have to.
My apologies to my Sue Wilson friends for a posting of this kind and forgive me if I don't comment for the rest of the day.
Please pray for MY Angel.
Love to all.
Marie P.

Your lovely and stunning Christmas Angel 2020 is the perfect opening sequence to your Festive Collection. She is gorgeous in her dark blue glitterbitz gown. How nice of you to design her so one can mix and match pieces from your Christmas 2019 Angel. As you say, she could also be used as a beautiful bride. I like versatality in the dies I use. Well done.
