Butterfly Rectangle
Hello crafters! Welcome to the October die release blog launch! There are fourteen dies in this month's release. As usual, we will be giving away one set of each of the fourteen dies to lucky winners based on the comments left on each of the posts. Please be sure to leave your name on each comment in some sort of memorable manner. You can either use your full name, or add the city you live in, or even a funny alias, just some way that I can make sure you are the winner. I will be doing the drawings and posting the winners on the afternoon of Oct. 30th, so don't forget to check back then.
We are starting out with the Butterfly Rectangle. There are six dies within this set that can be used in a number of ways. As we go through the launch, you will see the theme to this collection and how they work together. The next post will be online at noon today. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue. This is right up my street you know I love frames. A beautiful start to your launch ue, good luck all. Thank you Sue take care and have fun Kitty Davies.
Hello Sue This is a beauty I love how your dies always fit together. I have started my Christmas cards and am using new dies with older dies. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh how beautiful these butterflies look around the rectangle, with the 'Birthday' in the centre, very pretty indeed. I think we may have a bit of paper piecing here, right up my street. The colours are gorgeous too.
Good Luck everyone.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue, A fabulous start to your new launch, I really love butterflies & to have them in the frame will really set off whatever you put in the centre. Added bonus of using the 8 butterflies in the centre of making them come to life by embellishing on flying off your card. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue, What a great start to your latest die release. Fabulous frame and those little flutterbies will make a gorgeous box card. Lovely card too. Crafty Hugs,Pauline from Teesside x
Wow, what a start to the release with this beautiful die set. I was wondering what the theme was going to be and this has perked my mojo up as we head into the darker days. WakeyL
Good Morning Sue.What a fabulous start to another wonderful die launch. A gorgeous card. Who doesn't love a butterfly card. Always a focal point and if many of us tell the truth ... they are a life saver to cover many a " happy accident " 😉. Good Luck with your new launch Sue and thank you for all your hard work you put in to keep us crafter happy. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this set. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
Morning Sue, what an incredible way to start the new release launch. This die is beautiful, and you can never have enough Butterfly dies. Love the rainbow card, so cheerful. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Hello Sue, What a stunning card to start this launch. At first I thought you had paper pierced the butterflies and then the penny dropped as to how you’d done it. Fantastic die set. It’s a must have for me. Tooth Fairy Jo. xxx
Oh this is just stunning, I love butterflies and frequently use them on my cards, as a finish....love how you have used it on your card, those colours, beautiful....luv Ursula from Verwood xxxx
Hi Sue, a beautiful start to the launch. Your card is gorgeous and the die set is lovely. I am sure this will be a winner for you as who doesn't love a butterfly.
Absolutely beautiful & this applies to the card & die. I have your square butterfly frame & use it a lot with pixie powders behind it. I would love a dragonfly frame like this. Fingers crossed one may be in the pipeline! Thank you Sue. What a start to the launch.
ooo a new launch how fabulous, this 1st one is beautiful I love butterflies, hopefully I'll be around long enough to see each one, if not I'll just catch up when I can as I'm still having problems since taking a tumble on holiday.
Lovely die and would make lots of gorgeous cards for many occasions. I love the background. I ordered some of the TH silver paper to try out myself. Always learning here. Stephanie K
Oh wow!!! This die set is a true catch-eyes!! Amazing!! It's really versatile too, as it could be split to make little borders, for example, and the butterflies silhouettes inside are so lovely to add everywhere, or to put behind the frame to add a different colour as contrast! Fabulous card for sample! Thanks so much for another wonderful blog launch and inspirations!
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x Beautiful frame die Sue x the butterflies are gorgeous and look so pretty around your frame x the extra elements in the set are very useful too x thankyou Sue x Theresa w in Berks xxx
