Christmas Lights

Hi bloggers!  we are starting out day three with the new Christmas Lights die set.  I have always wanted to add some Christmas lights to my Festive collection and have finally been able to do so.  This set has seven dies in all with three individual light bulbs of different sizes along with matching bulb caps.  The set includes a curly light string too so you can add the bulbs separately to it.  There is also a single strand of straight lights that makes a great border.  This set allows you to make all sort of configurations for your Christmas cards and projects.  It is a real go to set so I am sure you will want to leave a comment on this post to be entered into the drawing.  The next post will be online at 12 noon today.  All for now,  Sue x

Oh I'm so excited to see you achieved what you wanted for a while, what is the festive season without lights, but again not just for the season, lights are used all year round for our gardens and all sorts, the one other good thing is that you've designed them for big cards, smaller cards, slimline cards any size or shape so let there be light and I'll try and remember the next 3 posts later. Stay well and safe everyone xx

Such a fun die. No two cards will look the same as it will be great for using up small pieces of card

June Smith said...

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I do like this die, what a way to light up my day, I can see all these lights on so many Christmas things not just cards but boxes and displays. also for birthdays as well, oh an idea as just popped into my head - a light bulb moment - using real lights behind the frame. This is going to be a very popular die set, especially with the different sizes of bulbs.

Good luck everyone.

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

Hi Sue, I love your Christmas lights they are reminiscent of the ones we had in my childhood. Having various sizes will give us so many options for our cards and I can already see the border twinkling away on the top of a card.
