For My Friend
Hello crafters! Welcome to the last day of the January launch! We are starting out with the For My Friend sentiment. These sentiments are a bit larger than normal size but not quite Noble size. I really like that they are in the middle, it adds a lot of versatility to your crafting. I always say that having several of the same sentiment but in different sizes, styles and layouts will really help you pick which one is best for what you are working on. Please go ahead and add a comment to this post so your name is entered the maximum number of times to win this collection. I will be back at noon with the next die on offer. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I totally agree with you about having 3 different sizes of sentiments, especially this one, it is such lovely words with lots of meanings behind it. I know we have all got friends that this die would fit perfectly, and I love the sample you have made to add this sentiment too, I am hoping that will be on the packaging when my die arrives.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue, As many of we crafters often make different sized cards, DL, 8x8, etc it's a pleasure to have access to different sized sentiments. I particularly like the different fonts. Crafty Hugs, Pauline from Teesside
Good morning Sue, A beautiful card & lovely sentiment, I love having different sized sentiments as it depends on what space you have left & if it's too big or small it doesn't look right. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue, this sentiment die set is fantastic, love the combination of fonts, very useful. Your card is so pretty. Take care and stay warm everyone. Bx
Hi Sue Happy Friday everyone x Loving the yellow. Bright and cheery and Spring-like. Oh roll on Spring x A mix of different sized sentiments is such a welcome bonus. I never make the same sized cards so like you say - versatility - 👍🏻 Take care one and all x Sending you all positive thoughts x Crafty hugs x PP Yvonne x
This is a sentiment that can't miss in our stash! Beautiful fonts and good dimension of the die, love it! It seems also perfect with the layered flowers as you shown here with the cute daisies!
Gorgeous sentiment and love how you given us it in two. This card is stunning and I think its my favourite post so far as yellow can be a difficult colour for me to use.
Your comment regarding having different sizes is so correct as you need different sizes and styles for different projects. Wasn't the trend to mix and match fonts not long ago? WakeyL
Hi Sue, what a gorgeous piece of sunshine for us to feast our eyes upon. Love this card and the mixed fonts of the sentiment make it really attractive and most useful.
Afternoon Sue, love this sentiment. I have an stamping club where we give birthday cards and this would be great to use on those cards. love the way you placed the flowers in the frame. A
