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.
ReplyDeleteGreat 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteWhat 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
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteHi SUE

ReplyDeleteFabulous die set Sue, and a wonderful card to start xx
ReplyDeleteHi 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
ReplyDeleteGood 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 ...

ReplyDeleteElizabeth Bennett
Love the post and love the frames - definitely a missing set from the range and a must have.
ReplyDeleteCan’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.
ReplyDeleteI'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

ReplyDeleteLynne L Haverfordwest
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA 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.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to all the new launches - a great start with this die set!
ReplyDeleteOoh, 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.
ReplyDeleteMaggiemay Tassie
Nice and simple but an essential, love it. Jane x
ReplyDeleteHi 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.

Whatever it is it looks great. Fab start to the new collection hugs Donna xx

to any slim card!

Very nice design, The londongreetings is also offering latest designing of online greeting cards in Uk such as
ReplyDeletevalentine'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!
ReplyDeleteDoreen R
Great set of stitched dies. Looking forward to seeing the whole release.
ReplyDeleteHi 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 :-)
ReplyDeleteFrances
Fabulous start
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLoving 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.
