January 2021 Die Release Blog Launch / Slimline Stitched Rectangle Frames

Hello crafters!  Welcome to the first die release blog launch of the new year!  We plan on doing the releases a bit different this year.  There will be more releases (more or less monthly), but smaller in size, with probably the exception of this first one.  After speaking with many of our stockists, we have found they would prefer it this way!  The January release is focusing on our new Slimline collection and a brand new concept idea called Stampcuts, which I will tell you more about later on.  We are, however, doing the releases in the same way with the die giveaways based on drawings made from those that comment, so no change there! Yeah!  So, like usual, I will ask that you leave a comment on the posts that you would like to be entered into the drawings.  Please make your name memorable in some way so there is no mistake who has won the die; add your last initial or town that you live in or even make up a funny alias (I love those!)   I will do the drawings and announce the winners on Jan. 29th.  Be sure to check back then!
We are starting out with the Slimline Stitched Rectangles Frames first off.  I will admit that I am really in love with this slimline shape and have found card making a breeze with them too!   These have a lovely stitched detail and the dies can be used as matting or  as frames.  If you like this one, just leave a quick comment on this post.  I will be back at 12 noon for the next offering.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow, what an amazing set this is to start us off on your 1st launch of 2021, I am loving the tall thin shapes, perfect for us in the UK with postage costs.

Great idea about the new launches every month too.

Good luck everyone

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Morning Sue and all that visit. There's one word that describes this set and that's useful. It's a beautiful sample too it's a picture of a lovely little Robin family which would also look perfect mounted behind glass as home decor.

I will be commenting as usual on every post as I do but as I'm no longer selling at market my craft account is frozen for now, so I'll just window shop and give my family one extra chance of winning
Thank you for the opportunity Sue you have the biggest heart. Take care of each other and STAY SAFE IN 21 💖 xxx

carol edwards said...

Hello Sue, love robins I think you know that.! These dies will be so useful and take me away from just square cards so will update my style. They will give me a bit more imagination to work with. I think the idea to release dies each month really good too. Carol E xx

Gemsbubble w.sx said...

Hi Sue
I love the new DL style dies and like someone said good further cost of posting cards. Especially since royal mails pricing is so high!
I hope you're safe and well Sue.
Take care one and all xx

Hi Sue, what a great start to the release! Slimline cards are often not as daunting to fill than larger cards. Great addition to the 'already must have basic' dies. WakeyL

Can’t go wrong with a frame on a card! These are perfect for the DL size and like Doreen said will help keep the postage costs down. I’m already imaging a card using these. Thanks Sue, it’s great to hear that we can also have the excitement of new releases on a monthly basis!

Helen Bell said...

Hi Sue

A great start to your new launch. Very useful and practical dies. I used to often make DL cards but make more square cards now. I can see that changing again now though.... I like the idea of more regular releases, we’ve missed them recently. Im looking forward to seeing the new stampcuts too. I have to say I will have everything crossed on the 29th as it’s my birthday. Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us...

Love Helen xxx

Billie Sue Woolley said...

Great set of stitched dies. Looking forward to seeing the whole release.

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, love the beautiful card you have chosen to start the launch with. I like making DL cards but it is always difficult to get mats/layers/frames to suit (or cut straight!) so this new slimline collection will fit the bill perfectly. I too look forward to more frequent but smaller collections, much easier on our purses :-)
