April Blog Launch / Friend Bold Shadowed Sentiment Die/Stamp Combo

Hello crafters!  Welcome to the April die release launch!  We are showcasing the collection of ten new dies this month.  As usual, I will be giving away one of each of the die sets based on a drawing done from the comments on each post.  Please be sure to leave your name on each comment and make sure it is unique in some way so I don't have more than one person claiming the winning die.  Try adding the city you are from or a funny alias, just some way to make it memorable please.  I will announce the winners on April 22nd in the afternoon, so please be sure to check back!  
Starting with out new line of Bold Shadowed Sentiments, we are showcasing the Friend die/stamp combo first.  Shown here, you can see how beautiful this font is with a lovely flourish to the front and back of the word.  The coordinating stamp set gives you all the elements to make a lovely card to send to a dear friend.  If this one gets your craftiness running, then just leave a comment on this post and you will be entered into the drawing to perhaps win this set.  I will return at 12 noon for the second post of the day.  Hope to see you back here then.  All for now, Sue x

  7. Hi Sue. This is a beautiful sample the colour is gorgeous. Had the pandemic not cancelled my monthly visit to market and interrupted my flow of card making I'm not sure how much I'd use this set. Our customers can be more picky than we are so I buy to please. I'd much prefer to buy or receive a die I know I'll use over and over and pay for itself time and time again. So if i ask you to not put my name forward for this set it will give 1 extra blog friend an extra chance to being mummy to a new die and stamp. Hope I remember to return later for the next showcase. Loving those flowers too xxx

    that card is just beautiful, and I like the friend and the stamped sentiments.
    We shall hopefully see our friends now that the restrictions are beginning to get lifted.

    But until we are all vaccinated completely, we must be careful who we hug!

    God, I so miss these hugs.....

  69. A Bold Shadowed Sentiment is the perfect way to begin this new release and your color choice for the background just pops off the page. It’s colorful and brightly cheerful! I’m a fan of simple sentiments that come with options for stamping additional words and this fits so well. This card makes me smile!
