January Die Release Blog Launch / Daisy

Hello crafters!  Welcome to the first die release of the new year!  This year we are going to be doing things a bit different.  Last year we had several issues with people not receiving their winning dies (probably due to the postal strike in the UK), but because of that and just trying to simplify the work it is for my coworkers to get all the dies sent out in a timely manner, we have decided to change things this year.  We will still be giving away a set of the dies from each release, however, we will be sending the entire set to one person each release.  The drawing will still be based on the comments left on each blog post, but only one name will be drawn and I will post it at the end of the morning post rather than in the afternoon in a separate post.  You can gain extra entries by leaving one comment on every post during the launch. I will be posting the winner for this blog launch on January 24th.  As usual, please make sure that you leave your name on all the comments and make it memorable in some way, add a last name or funny alias, just someway for you to know that your name was chosen.

This release is centred around my new line of layered flowers.  Layered flowers have been around for awhile, but I have always felt that they were confusing to put together so these have been simplified to make them easier and there are full instructions on the inside of each of the die's packaging to aid you.
First up is the Layered Daisy set.  There are thirteen dies in this set which will make two different sized daisies as well as a side view, plus leaves.  If you like this one, just leave a comment on this post.  I will be back at noon for the next die release.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a brilliant daisy die to start with, now I know these are going to be popular, personally I like doing layers on flowers, as I believe it give a nice dimension to them, I also like the embossed patterns on them too. Yes your onto a winner with these.

Oh my word Sue, you are so very generous with the new way of the giving the prizes, a whole collection, that is so very kind of you, thank you on behalf of all your followers, new and old.

Good luck everyone.

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

Love these daisies so much! Beautiful card!

Pauline Austen said...

Morning Sue,
These


daisies are so different. I particularly like the idea of a side view as it makes a bouquet topper look more realistic.
I'm really looking forward to this new collection. Who doesn't love flowers.

Hi Sue
Happy Tuesday everyone x
I am always bowled over by the way you manage to surprise us with every single launch. These daisies are gorgeous. I will admit, as many crafters will, to having an absolute glut of flowers in my collection. Most of them are yours. However, I believe one can never have too many flower dies (or shoes)!
Love this concept. I’m familiar with layered dies, but I can imagine yours will be far superior.
Wow someone is going to be so lucky. I don’t know if I’ll cope with the excitement if my name is picked but I’ll try 😆
Take care one and all x
Sending you all positive thoughts x

Lovely card and set to start the 2023 launch. I like how not all the flowers are facing straight on, giving a realistic perspective. WakeyL

Gorgeous card and fab die set, love how you give us options. Whilst a daisy, change the colour and it could be a gerbera. Looking forward to the rest of the launch...

Pat L said...

Hi Sue
What a brilliant start to your new collection, I love flowers and you can never have too many. Having a side facing flower also gives depth to your floral arrangements. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the collection and sending big hugs to all our missing friends on the blog. Someone is going to be over the moon to win the whole set of your new dies so good luck everyone.

Love and hugs to everyone

Your idea for simplify things to send the giveaways sound good, anyone would like to be lucky enough to win the entire release, what an amazing gift to start the year!!! Fingers crossed for my name in the draw LOL :D
I love so much layered flowers, but haven't still dies, so these new releases call to me! :)
Love the way you designed the daisies, with two size flowers, a profile view and leaves, and the instructions for layering in the packaging is another great idea!
Beautiful card to show the daisies!

Daisies - such a common little flower but so beautiful. I think I'd have to cut these in white, with yellow centres - the perfect reminder of summer childhood!
Good luck in the draw everyone!
