October Die Release Blog Launch/ Dandelion Stained Glass Circle

Hello bloggers!  Here we are at the October Die Release Blog Launch!  It will run from today through Friday .  As always, I will be giving away one of each of the 13 dies in this release as well as a non die giveaway you will see later in the release (just to keep you in suspense! LOL)  The giveaway is based on the comments that you leave on each of the posts so please remember to sign your comments with a memorable name, not just your first name as there is often more than one person with the same name on the blog.  Please add in your surname or initial, a city where you live or just a funny alias name so you can be distinguished from others on the blog.  You are welcome to comment on every post (more chances to win!) but please only a single comment per post.  I will be doing the drawings and announcing the winners on October 26th so don't forget to check back and see if your name is one the list.
 For the first offering, I would like to share the Dandelion Stained Glass Circle.  These new stained glass dies have been designed in a circle rather than a rectangle like we have done in the past, plus they are all very simple in design so they are perfect for paper piecing or just adding a pretty background to bring them to life!  Let me know what you think of this newest concept in your comments.  I will be back at noon for the next offering.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, what a lovely start to the October Release, and to Tuesday morning. Love your card, and I have just found a new favourite die, I love using circles and ovals as I think they just add something different. Looking forward to the rest of the Release, and am very intrigued by the non-die giveaway hint. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx

What a lovely surprise & start to the day, the October release! Well I have started my list immediately! This die is simple but I love it & I already have some of your stained glass Dies so this will have to join them! Love your background as well, but not sure what you have used, alcohol inks maybe! Thank you Sue, you have made my day!

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh what a great sample this morning, cheered me up no end when I opened the blog, I loved the stained glass ones you did before so these are right up my street, I can imagine with the different colours behind to enhance the flower and make it pop, yes a great idea, I wonder what else you have in store for us, I am also liking the frames etc. on this one.

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

Princess Pixie! said...

Hi Sue
Happy Tuesday everyone x
Well this is a surprise - a very nice one I might add. Had no idea the launch was to begin today x
What a beautiful card. I am lucky enough to have some of your original stained glass dies and they make stunning cards but I love this new simplified stained glass concept x
As always I do hope the cards we see during the launch will have their day on the blog in future so that we can have details to help us try and imitate your talent. (Although I never manage to recreate your works of art obviously)! x
This has certainly made my day a lot brighter. I have a date with a huge pile of ironing and some dirty windows requiring my attention so this launch will definitely break up the monotony x

Hi Sue, I was out all morning and I inadvertently opened an email showing me your new dies. I have seen some beautiful samples and am really looking forward to this launch.
This first card is beautiful and I feel as though I am looking through a porthole at some underwater garden. I have most of your previous stained glass dies and this new range will have to join them.
