Hello there my crafty friends! Welcome to the final post of the Festive Collection blog launch! This post is dedicated to showcasing the Poinsettia Stem. Since I have shown quite a few cards along the way that have used just the flower from this die set, I decided to share this clean and simple card where I have used the entire poinsettia stem on the card. It is very elegant like this or use the entire flower in multiples across your card too. You can use the stem as an outline or paper piece the leaves back into the outline as I have done here. The actual flower itself makes a beautiful statement without the stem too, so there is so much versatility with this one! Even after Christmas is over, this is a lovely flower to use in a myriad of colours too. Feel free to pinit if you like for later inspiration. For the last time, I will remind you to leave a comment to be entered in to the drawing to win this one! Please do not forget to check back on June 21st (in the afternoon) to see if your name is among the winners posted! I hope you have enjoyed the launch as much as I have and have found something to your liking as well! All for now, Sue x

I've had my eye on the poinsettia flower throughout your launch. It shows what a special die it is when it can make such an elegant card like this.
I've thoroughly enjoyed your festive collection and whilst it's sad that it is over, I will look forward now to seeing your cards showcasing them.
Have a good evening and thank you for all your hard work which has kept many of us sane.

Lovely card, great die x
Hi Sue, a really beautiful CAS card and the Poinsettia Stem is so elegant, I can see it adorning many cards. Lots of favourites in this launch but the Holly and Poinsettias are at the top along with the Poinsettia and Snowflake adjustable frames and the Deco Snowflake Background. Maybe a win on the lottery is on the cards, I will need it :-)
Yet another great launch and I would like to thank you for all the hard work that goes into it and your never ending generosity in giving away so many dies. Thank You.

Good Evening Sue. Ohhhhh and so it ends. What a brilliant Launch. It's been absolutely great and couldn't have come at a better time.

Hi Sue. So that's the end of another wonderful and successful launch. I certainly have my favourites and the new set of edging dies plus the polar bears and penguins are right up there at the top. I can't tell you how much I look forward to using my new dies when my festive season orders filter through as I personally won't be able to do my normal market for goodness how long so relying on my regular December orders will pay for these outstanding new dies.
I'm so happy I found you when I did as I couldn't ask for a better tutor or mentor to help me with this hobby that went mental. Via this launch I had the nicest anniversary day I've had in a while, not only was I out walking with my man and our dog for the first time since lock down, Tuesday I feel had the most beautiful inspiration every post made me smile, so this past week has been perfect in the most weird way - thank you. Please everyone STAY SAFE, STAY WELL, STAY SENSIBLE and we'll come through together 🌈 xxx
What a beauty to finish your wonderful launch thank you so much love always sue stay safe my dear ftriends xxxxx june horrocks xxxxxx
Hi Sue this is a stunning card. It is just so pretty. Thank you for showing us all your new dies. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Stunning card and die set Sue. What a wonderful die to end on xx Hazel nottm
Such a lovely CAS card, the Poinsettas really stand out xx
What a stunning set of dies and card to finish on.
I can't believe this is the last day already. All of the dies have made it on my list of must haves but my absolute favourite is the mosaic ray background, followed by the art deco tree background followed by the rest of the entire collection. I love them all x
Hi Sue
Well you’ve ended with my favourite, love the poinsettia stem and your card is beautiful. Thank you for a great launch and for your generosity in giving us a chance to win one of your lovely festive dies
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat L, Belfast
Hi Sue. I was wondering when this poinsettia was going to make an appearance in its own right as I have been admiring it on its previous appearances. What a lovely die set to finish the launch on. Thank you for sharing.

A stunning card and a beautiful die Sue.

Hi Sue and everyone, wow I'm sad that the launch has finished. But I'm glad I came back in time to catch it. I'm still not feeling mentally 100% after testing positive with Covid but I'm going to attempt to get back to working as soon as possible, as I miss my friends and helping people, as you have helped me with the beautiful inspiration for the last week. I need to get back to work or I will never have any money to buy all these beautiful dies and stamps and embossing folders.
If I have to chose a favourite it will be the bow with the holly and poinsettias. I think the wait was worthwhile thank you Sue. See you tomorrow and I will be looking out for the techniques for my favourite cards hugs Donna xx
Hi Sue
The poinsettia flower has become a firm favourite for Christmas and I love the way you have given this a die set a really modern look.Thank you for all your hard work to give us such a great launch.
Now the hard work starts to decide on my favourites.
Thank you once again

Hi Sue
Well, thank you for some superb samples from your new die launch. I can’t believe it’s over already!
Another beautiful card, very classy and elegant. The frame and pointsettia looks beautiful with the crisp white and red.
Another proud moment under your belt Sue, watch those dies fly. I think my favourite is still the poinsettia adjustable frame but I like the Poinsettia Stem and lots of others!
Love Helen xxx
Hello Sue, a fitting finish to the the launch. Beautiful stem to the gorgeous poinsettia. It has been a lovely launch and you've done well with lots of inspiration and different concepts Thank you Cae xx

What a fabulous eight days you have given us, Thank you so much for this lovely launch and all the inspiration you never fail to give to us, You have made me want to start making my Christmas cards now.

Its wonderful card!
Hello Sue.
A beautiful card to end the Launch.I don't think I commented on all of them as trying to help with funeral arrangements for my Granddaughter took a great deal of emotional energy and I made a simple card using your 2019 Angel as the focal point for each of the allowed guests.
Your Festive Launch has been lovely as always.
Hugs.

Hi Sue,
This last card is gorgeous!It showcases many of of the new collection most beautifully and the Poinsettia Stem that I have been waiting for. This clean and simple card is my second favorite of this launch.
Can't quite believe this is the last post but all good things must come to an end I guess. Very well done Sue, you have excelled yourself once again. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our life specially in these troubled times. Looking forward to seeing the cards you will be inspiring us with. Till then, good luck dear Wilsonettes.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.

Hi SUE
I have enjoyed everyone of your cards and dies on this launch and this one is just as good as all the others.
Thank you.

Hi Sue
I’ve made it back for the final post! Sorry I’ve been absent for the last few days. Been under the weather - most inconvenient during your launch! Going to take my time and go back and drink in your talent and magnificent cards that I have not managed to comment on and try and say a few words x
Well this is gorgeous. I love this beautiful poinsettia and had noticed it popping up on quite a few cards. It is framed with your amazing new ‘loopy’ deco snowflake background die - such a stylish card.
You have really put me in the mood now to get cracking with the old Christmas cards. Problem is when I’m under the weather it affects my hands so never manage to crack on as much as I’d like.
I love all the new dies in this year’s festive collection. A lot of the dies are quite far removed from what I was expecting and as usual I want to add them all to my die collection x
As always Sue you have but a big chunk of happiness to make us smile and fill us all with joy. A very welcome tonic. Your blog is the highlight of my day - especially at the moment. You must be over the moon with all the lovely comments and looking forward to showing us some more Christmas gorgeousness in the months to come x
Thank you so much, as always, for sharing and giving us all a chance to win x
Take care and stay safe everyone x

Lovely card. It is nice to have a whole set with a stem included rather than just the flower.

What a beautiful die to end with. Poinsettia is Christmas, and yours is just gorgeous. Lovely card. I still don't know how you come up with these designs year after year, but you do and you never falter with quality, quantity, super designs and a decent price.
Another great launch. Thank you and Well Done.

So unusual to see a poised tia on a stem but makes a very classy simple card. Thank you Sue for bringing us another super collection of dies over the past few days xx
Noticed this beauty on other cards in this launch and have been waiting to see it on its own. Its a stand out and "I need it". Have enjoyed the entire collection. MaryJean Smith
Oh another beauty on the shopping list.
What a pretty card, and so unusual to see the poinsettia with a stalk, I have loved seeing all your new cards and dies Sue, lets hope that the world soon gets back to something like normal and we can look forward to more of your lovely dies! I think the polar bears and the Penguins are my favourites, but I loved all the new sentiments too. Stay safe and well.
Hi Sue
A lovely ending on these new dies for the festive season.
Thank you Sue ,it have been some brilliant few days

Absolutely beautiful die Sue, the Poinsettia die is stunning in its detail! There are so many dies that tickle my fancy and this is yet another!
Wonderful release! By far my fave! Such a lovely poinsettia flower. Love how it can be taken apart or built-up. Genius. Beautiful card design too!
I’m delighted to find my post on the next sample actually posted! I like the more clean and fresh look of this card. The pointsettia is so pretty.
