Hello crafters! I would like to share the dies from the February die release with you this week. It is a much smaller release with only seven dies and six matching rubber stamps and one A5 clear stamp set and four 7" x 7" stencils in the collection. All the products are part of my newest Safari Collection. We will be giving a set of the dies away based on the comments left on each post like we always do too, so don't forget to leave those comments! Please make sure to leave your name on your comment and make it memorable in some way. Please add in your last name or initial, maybe the city of town you are from or just a funny alias, anything that sets you apart from others with the same first name! I will do the drawings for the winning dies and announce the winners on Feb. 23rd. We are starting with the giraffe first up. I had the chance once to feed giraffes while on a holiday in Mauritius and look directly into their eyes as we were on a feeding platform tower. They have long since been one of my favourite animals since that remarkable day! The giraffe die and stamp are inside a beautiful frame that has the appearance of being wrapped in the corners with a rattan or vine wrap. He (or she) is framed by lovely foliage jutting inward from the edge of the frame. If this one is a favourite of yours too, then just leave a comment on the post and you might just become the winner of this drawing. The next post will be along at noon today. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a fantastic die to start this months blog launch with, Giraffe's are such gentle animals to look at and yet are incredibly strong, I can just imagine Mr Giraffe here saying 'hello everyone, the view from up here is amazing'.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue.
Wow what a beauty to start with, I love the Giraffe too.
Thank you for a chance to win this die set.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty Davies.
Morning Sue. Our daughters favourite animal apart from dogs. If this is the first of 7 new dies and already something totally different I have no idea what's coming for the rest of the launch. As my world is stagnant craft wise at the moment I need to window shop and admire but hold back on collecting just for now so in the nicest possible way Sue please don't add my name to the draw website, I always know they'll be there when times get better. I just love being part of your world and being in a blog full of lovely people xxx
WOW!! What a way to start a new release. This giraffe is adorable.
Looking forward to the rest of the launch

Good Morning Sue.
A great start to the Launch. I too have happy memories including Giraffe's. I was lucky enough to spend a week in the Kruger National Park in South Africa where the animals roam free. Your beautiful card has jogged my memories of such wonderful times I love the way you have got Mr. Giraffe looking like the King of all he surveys.
Thank you Sue.

Hello Sue and all
Oh Wow !! What a gorgeous giraffe, you can tell how much you like them as you have captured her/him beautifully. Love stamps and dies matching.. This makes me think of what it must be like to stay at Taronga Park Zoo in Sydney in the hotel with some of the animals wandering around and looking in your windows - a bucket list wish for sure.
Hugs

Hi Sue,
Giraffes have the most wonderful eye lashes, and you have achieved it with this beauty.
And I already have the other dies/stamps from the safari so this will be accompanying this.
Can't wait for noon........
Hugs

Omg he's gorgeous and on the list to buy, such a graceful creature.
Ideal for male cards which we struggle with sometimes
Hi Sue. What a great die. I can see it being used not only for cards but I think it is really great for memory books and journals.
Lisbeth (from Beckenham)
Wow! This is fabulous! I too am lucky enough to have seen giraffes in the wild and it was wonderful.
Doreen R
Hi Sue and everyone wow what a start to the launch and an absolutely amazing card. Im loving everything about it. This is so odd as I was talking to a friend yesterday and she was saying how much her mum loves giraffes 🦒 she was looking for everything giraffe from cakes to mugs to bedding and then another friend had just bought a duvet set with giraffes on. I honestly never knew you could buy so much or how popular these animals were. Hugs to all who pop in today Donna O xx
Hi Sue
Wow your giraffe is gorgeous, such detail. Love the card and can’t wait to see the rest of the safari collection
Love and hugs to everyone

Gorgeous card and looking forward to seeing the rest of your Safari collection. x Pauline Austen
Hi Sue. WOW, WOW , WOW !!! I am a massive fan of Safari animals. Your new Giraffe die set is absolutely STUNNING !!!
I had a wonderful friend many years ago when I went to University who invited me to stay with them and their family for a few weeks in Kenya. We went to the Massi Mara on Safari for 4 days. I saw all the BIG 5 and lots more to. It was without a doubt one of the most amazing experiences of my life !!! The Giraffe is an amazing animal. They are all amazing animals. This brings back the most wonderful memories for me. Your Giraffe is soooooo cute !!! I absolutely MUST have him/her !!! If your whole release is Safari animals Sue I can see me needing/wanting/having to collect them all !!! Your card is gorgeous Sue and this stunning Giraffe is at the very top of my new wish list !!! Matching stamps to. (Poor Steve, I will be spending all his money !!!) Thank you. Sending lots of love and hugs your way Sue, from Tres x x x

This is one of my favourite animals. Giraffes are so graceful... I'm really really looking forward to seeing what else is included in this launch. Can't go wrong with animals.
Stay safe and well, Jojo

Beautiful card, as I hail from Africa this is a definite must for me, well done Sue....luv Ursula from Verwood xxxx
Cute. The giraffe is probably my favorite safari animal. The the embossed fur details of these sets are amazing.
Gina in SC
Wild animals can appeal to all sorts, children (in my case my youngest grandson) men (the dreaded cards) and women and girls, so a really useful set of dies and stamps.
Giraffes have those beautiful eyes:0)
Sandy (tort)
Stunning giraffe, love the embossing fur.
Lovely card Sue, the gentle giant is wonderful!!! This die is perfect for any little person to ogle about!
This is such a lovely card and the giraffe looks so realistic!
I think this will be a fun addition to anyone’s die and stamp collection. I love this one so much. Be great to win. Myra from Florida
Hi Sue
What a great start to your new launch.
A lovely giraffe. I have fond memories of giraffes from Longleat, not quite as glamorous as your experience in Mauritius!! Though I did spend a week there for my nephews wedding.

WOW!!! This giraffe is absolutely a must have!! Too much realistic and sweet! Such great release!!
our zoo has a large herd of giraffes with a new born last fall. She is so cute. The highlight for the public is getting to feed the giraffes lettuce in their outside yard.
Fabulous card and what a lovely collection and something very different. Will have to have these in my crafty stash. DebbieLeighxxx
