Iris Stampcuts
Hello bloggers! Welcome to the first day of the Mach die release blog launch. We will be showcasing nine new dies during this release. I will be giving away one entire set of the March die collection to one lucky winner based on a drawing I will do from all the comments left on the posts. Please feel free to leave a comment on each and every post, but only one per post please. If you can make your name memorable in some way too, that would be very helpful as just a first name is sometimes too difficult to tell who the winner is. Please add either your last name or initial or add some funny alias so there is no problem telling who the winner is. I will post the winner the morning of March 28th.
We are starting out with the Iris Stampcuts for this first post. I have long been a fan of Iris so they just had to be included. These dies are designed to be inked and then run through your die cutting machine so you get an inked image and a matching die cut in one pass! Leave your comment on this post and meet me back here at noon for the next post. All for now, Sue x
Hi Sue. It seems a while since you gave us Stampcuts. I'm starting to enjoy the rockery Iris it's taken some years for them to grow on me, so when the autumn comes I'll add some to my pots and garden. I'm looking forward to seeing more inspiration and the rest of the collection. Love to all from me xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, well what can I say, this is such a gorgeous flower and you have captured every element of it and the detail is amazing, I love the idea of stamping a die and cutting it out, what a clever thing to do. Looking forward to the other dies in this release.
Good Luck everyone, if your new to the blog then welcome and comment as often as you can, I know Sue appreciates all of them.
Good morning Sue Well you’ve kicked off this launch brilliantly with the beautiful iris! I love the stamp and cut dies they are so easy to use and always look fabulous! Fabulous card and I’m looking forward to seeing what other delights you’ve got for us. Hugs x Heather T
Good morning Sue, a fabulous start to your new release, the Iris is gorgeous . I have three stamp cut dies from your earlier release and I was only looking at them the other day and thinking I must use them again. I struggled with colouring them but I will not give up. I believe Gwen will be on TV with them on Wednesday so will watch for any tips. Marion S x
Good Morning Sue. What a lovely start to your new launch. And such a beautiful card. Everyone loves the iris ... So why not include them in our stash of craft goodies. Thankyou Sue. Someone is going to be very lucky to win this set. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today . Please stay safe and well 🙏. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Morning Sue, what a beautiful way to start the new launch, your card is so gorgeous and the Iris Stampcut die has to be one of my favourites too. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
A beautiful start to your new launch. Love the card. The iris stampcut die is gorgeous. It is versatile too as there are so many colours of iris so plenty of variety for your cards.
Oh, WOW, it seems that there are a lot of amazing Stampcuts, absolutely love this kind of dies, because they are really so QUICK and easy to use and look wonderfully with a great effect! This first Iris die here is shown so well, beautiful choice of colours that make the flowers just pop on the white elegant card! Waiting to see the next one, I'm very excited
Hi Sue, a beautiful card and your Stampcuts work so well. Your colouring is as amazing as usual, really bringing the iris to life. I will comment on each post as usual but please exclude me from the draw as I was so lucky last month to win Chip and friends.
Another beautiful die, I have a previous set of these and love them....looking forward to this March launch....love the card and love irises too...luv Ursula from Verwood xxxx
How strange - I was looking at my stamp cuts just last week wondering why you had never done anymore! It’s such an easy concept I’m surprised no one (that I know of) has copied it. The iris is beautiful, I’m especially drawn to the miniature irises so this is a hit with me. Thank you Sue.
Hi Sue, I am a big fan of Stampcuts and flowers - a great combination. The Iris card is beautiful. I definitely want to add this to my collection Be well and stay safe. XOXO, ROBIN FROM RIVERSIDE
Good Morning, Sue. I'm playing catch-up again as for some reason I'm not getting any updates from Blogspot. Anyway, better later than never. I'm a March baby so adore all spring flowers so this release feels kind of special to me. xx Bejay in Truro
