August Die Release Blog Launch / Poinsettia Cover Plate

Hello crafters!  We are starting the August die release today.  There are ten dies in this release to share with you.  As usual, I will be giving away a complete set of the dies to one lucky winner  based on the comments left on the posts during the launch.  Please sign your name on each comment you leave and make it memorable in some way.  Add a surname or last name initial or make up a funny alias, just some way that lets me know that there are not more than one person with the same name.  The drawing will be on August 20th so don't forget to check back then.

We are starting out with the Poinsettia Cover Plate die.  Shown here, it is a very striking die that lends itself to so many different ways of colouring and using it!   I have shown it here as a flat card, but you will se the other ways in which it can be used very soon!  Don't forget to leave a comment on this post and the next one will be on the blog at noon today.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue. Love this poinsettia cover plate. For me, the best thing is that it is not a regular pattern and so it looks so natural.

Dear Sue
It is not Christmas without a poinsettia and I always remember you on TV talking about when you sold poinsettias because I never realised there are so many different colours…….I remember that every Christmas so they are not always red.

Morning Sue, oh my God the comments section changed again and I'm thrown. The card and die are beautiful. I love these plates to work as stained glass or paper piecing. How are you managing to keep up with all these ideas for dies. I'm afraid my bank account isn't. AON

A beautiful Christmas card to kick off your new launch (you took us by surprise there!). This card has a stained glass look about it & it is great that it’s a flat card to keep the postage down. Thank you Sue.
