All Geared Up To Celebrate

 Hello there my crafty friends!  I used the Steampunk Gears Stencil and embossed the design into a piece of milk card.  I used Antique Linen and Tea Dye Distress inks.  I sponged the Tea Dye around the edges of the card, working towards the centre with the Antique Linen ink.  I cut the Cog border from the Assorted Tool Border die set out of Brushed Silver card four times.  I glued them around the edge of the card.  I cut the Vintage convertible from The Vintage Car die set out of Cobalt Blue card.  I used a fine tipped felt marker to add the detail to the car and a black and silver marker to colour the tyres and headlights.  I added some white card behind the windscreen and added the car to the card with mounting foam.  I cut the All Geared Up To Celebrate out of cobalt card and glued it to a white shadow backing piece.  I added it above the car with mounting foam.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8"   in size.

Santa Stamp Set

Hello crafters!  The final post of the launch isn't for a die set, but it is the Santa Stamp set.  This is a clear stamp set that includes a beautifully drawn Santa, several sentiments, and a whole host of what I call "worker stamps."  These stamps work great for adding detail and interest to the backgrounds of your cards.  I really enjoyed using these on my samples and you will see a lot of them going forward.  One last time, add your comment and don't forget to check back on the 28th to see if your name was drawn as the winner.  All for now, Sue x

May Your Days Be Merry & Bright

 Hi there my crafty friends!  The last sentiment of the release is the May Your Days Be Merry & Bright.  This die has also been done in two parts so you have the option of using the die in several ways.  You can use it as seen in this sample or without the shadow backing die or even rearrange the layout of the individual words in the sentiment if desired.  I have also added the Pinterest Pinit button on each post so feel free to save any samples or dies for later inspiration.  It's time to add your comment to the bottom of this post for maximum entries into the drawing.  The next post will be on the blog at 3pm today so I hope you can join me back here then!  All for now, Sue x

Snowflake Sparkle

 Hello bloggers!  The last post of the day is dedicated to the Snowflake Sparkle die set.  This set has five dies in it.  The set has two basic parts to it each with a separate cutting die so you can easily back the die with a different colour if desired.  It also has an outside die that has a pretty decorative pierced look to it and it also provides a nice base for the die.  As shown here, you can see the silver backdrop to the die in the top of the card.  It works well with the Ribbon wave dies too and gives a pretty clean and simple style.  You know the drill by now, it's time to add your comment on to this post.  This is the end of the third day, but we still have one more day to preview the rest of the launch.  We will be starting here bright and early at 6am tomorrow morning.  All for now, Sue x

To Wish You A Merry Christmas

 Hello bloggers!  The next set that I will be showcasing is the To Wish You A Merry Christmas sentient die.  Like the previous offering, this sentiment has been done in two parts as well.  The shadow backing die is especially nice to use if you want to raise the sentiment up for a bit of dimension on your card.  It is always nice to have the option to do so even if you don't use it all the time, don't you think?  What do you think of the launch so far?  Do you have any favourites yet?  I would love to know.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think so far.  We still have about a day and a half to go though, so still lots more to see.  The final post of the day will be on the blog at 6pm today, so don't forget to pop back by then.  All for now, Sue x

Wishing You Peace, Love & Joy

Merry Christmas

Hi crafters!  We have our first sentiment die and it is a larger style of the Merry Christmas sentiment.  I love that you can use it and make a beautiful clean and simple styled card or dress it up with some flowers if you desire.  And see, the ribbon dies work great with the sentiment as well as in a vertical orientation.  Pop your comment on this post so you are sure to get your entries for the drawing.  That's it for the second day of the launch, but there's still more to come starting here at 6am tomorrow morning!  All for now, Sue x

Holly Ribbon Wave

Hi there my crafty friends!  The last, but not least, of the Ribbon dies is the Holly Ribbon Wave die set.   This pretty set is designed in the same way as the other two with five dies, including the main ribbon with the holly, two cutting edges and two decorative edges.  These dies can be used in any orientation too, they aren't just for using horizontally across your cards.  I think you will find that they are very versatile in your Christmas card making.  Add your comment to the end of this post and be sure to come back by for the final post of the day at 6pm here on the blog.  All for now, Sue x

Poinsettia Ribbon Wave

 Hello bloggers!  This post is dedicated to the Poinsettia Ribbon Wave die set.  This set also has five dies in it.  This ribbon die can also be cut into the card as well as cut out of the card.  There are pretty decorative edges that can be used along with the die or by itself.  I love the modern look to this decorative die too.  I think you are really going to want to leave a comment on this post so you can add the most possible amount of comments for the drawing.  Someone is going to win the entire collection so it might as well be you, right!   We still have a couple more posts waiting in the wings today so be sure to stop back by here at 3pm for the next one.  All for now, Sue x
