July Festive Die Release Blog Launch / Slimline Stars Rectangle Aperture Trio

Hello crafters and welcome to the 2021 July Christmas die launch!   As always, we will be giving away a set of each of the dies based on drawings from the comments you leave on the posts.  Please be sure to make your name memorable in some way as I only have a single set of dies to giveaway and we don't want more than one person to claim them.  Please use a funny alias or add your last name or initial or even the town or city you live in, just some way for me to know that it will go to the right winner of the drawing.  You can enter the drawings by leaving a comment on each and every post, but please no more than one comment per individual post.  I will do the drawings and publish the list of winners on the afternoon of July 30th  so don't forget to check back then. There are eleven dies that are being released and they are all slimline in nature.  These have been designed to mix and match with the previous slimline collection we released in January.  First up is the Slimline Stars Aperture Trio.  Shown here, you can see how lovely this set looks with the Stars Background which was released in January.  This Trio Aperture has lovely debossed stars going all the way around each of the aperture openings.  If this is a set you would love to own, just leave a comment on this post to be entered into the drawing to win it!  I will be back at noon today with die set number two to share with you.  All for now, Sue x

    Ohhh what a surprise to wake up to did I miss something on yesterday's post? I can't see an announcement, are my new glasses failing me already lol. Already I love the little 'additions' I've spotted. I don't own the slimline dies so can I pass on this kind gift and give someone else a chance Sue please. So it's time to keep my memory bank clear so I don't forget the next post. Love to all this sticky hot uncomfortable Thursday xxx

    Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh my goodness what a way to start this July release, with the star Trio aperture die, clever thinking on this one, I have lots of ideas popping up in my head with beautiful bright colours behind them to accentuate them even more, although they look marvellous in white on white. Your onto a winner with this one.

    It is so hot here in the UK, what is it like over there.

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