July Christmas Die Release Blog Launch / Poinsettia Scalloped Border

Hello crafters!  Yes we are already at the July Christmas die release launch.  It has really come around very quickly, hasn't it!  There are fifteen dies being released this month, but they are all beautiful and work really well with the previous release last month (you will see so many of them here too!).  As always, we are giving away a set of each of the dies based on drawings done with the names of those who leave comments on each post.  You may leave a comment on every post but please only one per post.  Don't forget to make your name memorable in some way, add your initial or surname or the city where you live, anything to distinguish you from others with the same first name please.  I will do the drawings and post the winners on July 28th in the afternoon so be sure to check back then. I am starting off with one of my personal favourites from this launch; introducing the Poinsettia Scalloped Border die set.  This set has four dies in it, a beautiful scalloped latticed border with a cutting edge die that can be used between the border and the pretty edge as well as a debossed poinsettia die.  I have a feeling that this one will sing to you so don't forget to leave your comment on this blog post in order to be in the drawing to possibly win this one.  I will return at noon for the second die unveiling.  All for now. Sue x

I seem to be having problems again as I haven't received any notifications for a while again, only realised when I saw Jamie showing off the new dies so thought I'd better come and have a catch up, I must say these new dies are a must have and this first one has so many options to it, beautiful.
