Hello crafters! This die is the first mini background that I have done and I love the way it turned out! It has been designed in several sections so that it is truly versatile to use! Shown here with two of the sections used together (and the Joy sentiment from the 2015 Christmas Angel die set). It makes a beautiful Christmas scene when used all together, complete with a tiny Santa and sleigh flying across the moon. I hope that you will love this one as much as I do! Please let me know what you think of each of the new die releases, your comments count towards the die giveaway as well as giving me some insights into what you like best along the way! There are still a few more posts to go, so I hope you will be able to stop in again. The next blog post is scheduled for 2pm today. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue .
Well another Wow card and die set, So pretty,
Thank you. Kitty.
What a lovely versatile die, I am liking the smaller dies!!
Doreen x
I can see this die being very versatile and like Karen I could immediately see alsorts of ways of using it differently like as she said cutting out the scene at the bottom of the dies and having just the houses with Santa fling over the top of them. It is also a die that isn't just for Christmas. leave off the Christmassy parts and all sorts of ideas come to mind. I'll be back for the next post and can't wait. Crazy Crafter
My bank manager will be on the phone to me soon but they are all so lovely. This one is very clever.
Hi Sue,
WOW how many different cards could you make from this die, absolutely stunning!

Wowzers Sue,
I have officially torn up any list of must haves and decided that 'because I'm worth it ' -in the words of Cheryl cole and Loreal-I am going to get all of the Christmas release if it kills me, and perhaps my bank manager will....followed by my Mum!:-)
I simply cannot choose, my head is spinning and the cards just keep getting better and better. I love the bold sapphire blue, it really showcases the die beautifully , and the detailing is so intricate. You have really raised the bar and you just keep pushing it higher with every post-I feel like I've eaten a selection box, prawn cocktail, Christmas dinner and trifle and I still am determined to make room for the after dinner mints and aperitif! Thankyou for your endless hard work.
Off to take Brodie for a wee walk, he has been pestering me for two hours!
Love and crafty hugs,
Laine1972xxxxxx

What a beatiful card...love the scene at the bottom of the card...well done Sue
zullu26@aol.com
Well this looks like a 2 for 1 as both elements can be used either together or as individual elements on a card, which is a great thing. I do love the small sleigh over the moon and on second thoughts,this could also be used on it's own so make that 3 for 1.
