We are starting out with the Slimline Stitched Rectangles Frames first off. I will admit that I am really in love with this slimline shape and have found card making a breeze with them too! These have a lovely stitched detail and the dies can be used as matting or as frames. If you like this one, just leave a quick comment on this post. I will be back at 12 noon for the next offering. All for now, Sue x

January 2021 Die Release Blog Launch / Slimline Stitched Rectangle Frames
Hello crafters! Welcome to the first die release blog launch of the new year! We plan on doing the releases a bit different this year. There will be more releases (more or less monthly), but smaller in size, with probably the exception of this first one. After speaking with many of our stockists, we have found they would prefer it this way! The January release is focusing on our new Slimline collection and a brand new concept idea called Stampcuts, which I will tell you more about later on. We are, however, doing the releases in the same way with the die giveaways based on drawings made from those that comment, so no change there! Yeah! So, like usual, I will ask that you leave a comment on the posts that you would like to be entered into the drawings. Please make your name memorable in some way so there is no mistake who has won the die; add your last initial or town that you live in or even make up a funny alias (I love those!) I will do the drawings and announce the winners on Jan. 29th. Be sure to check back then!

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow, what an amazing set this is to start us off on your 1st launch of 2021, I am loving the tall thin shapes, perfect for us in the UK with postage costs.
Great idea about the new launches every month too.
Good luck everyone
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue and all that visit. There's one word that describes this set and that's useful. It's a beautiful sample too it's a picture of a lovely little Robin family which would also look perfect mounted behind glass as home decor.
I will be commenting as usual on every post as I do but as I'm no longer selling at market my craft account is frozen for now, so I'll just window shop and give my family one extra chance of winning
Thank you for the opportunity Sue you have the biggest heart. Take care of each other and STAY SAFE IN 21 💖 xxx
Morning Sue.

Hello Sue
What a start to this launch I was only making a slimline card yesterday and nearly gave up with the layering.Take care everyone x
These dies will be so useful and will fit DL cards in the U.K. I noticed the largest is nearly the width of our A4 card
Beautiful card showcasing them too
Karenlotty
Hello Sue, love robins I think you know that.! These dies will be so useful and take me away from just square cards so will update my style. They will give me a bit more imagination to work with. I think the idea to release dies each month really good too. Carol E xx
Hi Sue
I love the new DL style dies and like someone said good further cost of posting cards. Especially since royal mails pricing is so high!
I hope you're safe and well Sue.
Take care one and all xx
Lovely first sample.
Hi SUE
I actually own this lovely die set of robins and I love it, I just started making cards in the slimline size and omg fantastic card 2 start us off with, l got a feeling this Launch is going to be exciting can't wait.

What a beautiful card. Lovely dieset, thanks for the chance Sue.
Fabulous die set Sue, and a wonderful card to start xx
Hi Sue, what a great start to the release! Slimline cards are often not as daunting to fill than larger cards. Great addition to the 'already must have basic' dies. WakeyL
Good Morning Sue. What a lovely card to start off your launch. And what a lovely set of dies. Very different and great for those who love this tall slim shape ... As many of us do judging by the comments. Thankyou Sue and good luck with the new launch. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this set. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
PLEASE STAY EXTRA SAFE EVERYONE 🙏 🙏 🙏

Rolf xxx
Lovely start to the new die collection.
Elizabeth Bennett
Love the post and love the frames - definitely a missing set from the range and a must have.
Can’t go wrong with a frame on a card! These are perfect for the DL size and like Doreen said will help keep the postage costs down. I’m already imaging a card using these. Thanks Sue, it’s great to hear that we can also have the excitement of new releases on a monthly basis!

Good Morning, oh wow you have no idea how long I've been waiting for more DL dies, so I'm really excited to see this and what else you have in store for us, I know there is a show due next week on Create & Craft can't wait to watch what both Gwen and Jamie have in store for us to tempt us, not that I'll need much tempting.
I've honestly been looking for a die set like this for months! So thank you Sue for solving a problem for me! Love to all, Sarah
Good morning Sue Lovely card to start the launch slimline dies will be so useful How exciting to be able to look forward to a new launch every month that's great news
Lynne L Haverfordwest
Hi Sue
A great start to your new launch. Very useful and practical dies. I used to often make DL cards but make more square cards now. I can see that changing again now though.... I like the idea of more regular releases, we’ve missed them recently. Im looking forward to seeing the new stampcuts too. I have to say I will have everything crossed on the 29th as it’s my birthday. Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us...
Love Helen xxx
Oooh the slimline collection looks great, so looking forward to seeing these in action. Every month eh! Wow - a great adventure is afoot.
Sally-Ann H Llandrindod Wells
So glad you are starting a new die launch!
I do love slimline cards, too, so this launch is really up my street :))
Your first card is gorgeous with the pretty birds.
Looking forward to many more beautiful cards - and dies ;))
Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Those dies are gorgeous. Slimline cards are right on trend. Have a good week. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Hi Sue, OMG...I just LOVE this card. I was looking at a pair of robins on my feeder earlier this morning so now I know where they've gone lol. I can't believe it's time for your first new die release, doesn't time fly. Good luck everybody. Bejay
Looking forward to all the new launches - a great start with this die set!
Ooh, I really love this card Sue, so excited you are bringing out slimline dies, they are on my radar. Can I ask if they also work with the striplet dies? Also love the Robins dies, they are so versatile.
Maggiemay Tassie
Nice and simple but an essential, love it. Jane x
Hi Sue and everyone, this card is stunning and would be great framed too. The slimline dies are fab, I do make a few DL cards.
I'm loving the background too, is it a stamp or embossing folder ?
Whatever it is it looks great. Fab start to the new collection hugs Donna xx
Great die set for slimline cards!
Oooo...these look nice.
Happy New Year - hope you are OK.

Beautiful card really useful set of dies
Great to see another launch, I think I agree with your new concept of launches...look forward to them....this set looks most useful, especially for those slimline DL cards, which I must admit I do not do many of them, but this could be a good excuse...lovely card...luv Ursula from Verwood...xx
Morning Sue, Happy New Year and off we go on another fabulous launch. I love these new concept but can you put diamentions on the dies please. Do they fit, A5 or what size please. Good luck and fabulous card. A
I actually love slimline cards. I made several for Christmas and Thanksgiving. I love to make different sized/shaped cards. I would love to win this set.

I love these slimline cards! And this die
set is so versatile and will add interest
to any slim card!
Sharon in Toronto
Very nice design, The londongreetings is also offering latest designing of online greeting cards in Uk such as
valentine's day card, mother's day cards,
Birthday cards.
Narrow rectangular dies are always very useful. I have some old Spellbinders rectangles but yours look much slimmer and taller. Excellent!
Doreen R
Great set of stitched dies. Looking forward to seeing the whole release.
Hi Sue, love the beautiful card you have chosen to start the launch with. I like making DL cards but it is always difficult to get mats/layers/frames to suit (or cut straight!) so this new slimline collection will fit the bill perfectly. I too look forward to more frequent but smaller collections, much easier on our purses :-)
Frances
Fabulous start
Hi Sue,
Loving the card, and the slimline dies are so useful, I love them.
The birds look so natural, I feel like I'm in the tree.

Hi Sue.
Well a new launch ehh. I have to say that I think you have hit on a gap in the mat key with these tall stitched dies
I can see them being a big hit
Your idea of smaller releases is good I think
Please take care my friend
Theresa G
A very staple die set for everyone's collection. Looking forward to seeing the rest of thos years collection
Yay! A slimline die set was necessary, thanks so much! And with the stitched borer is just perfect!
Love how you used it to make the frame, and that wood paper is a fabulous background for the birds!
Oh these are just perfect! Stitched DL! I definitely need these!
A lovely card Sue and very useful dies. A great start thank you xx
These look great and very useful for long cards.
This die set is an incredible set and I know there will be many of us hoping to win these, me included. Slimline cards are huge right now and you’ve meet a need with this set. I like be this new size and I love that you’ve already seen the need for a stitched frame set. I’m looking forward to seeing your new ideas for 2021.
