First Train
Hello crafters! Welcome to the April Die Release Launch. There are twelve dies this release and they are all baby themed. We will be giving away the complete collection based on a drawing of the comments left on all the posts. Please sign your posts with a memorable name so there is no confusion as to who the winner is. If you could add either a surname or initial, a funny alias or even the city where you live so I know that there is only one winner. I will do the drawing and post the winner the morning of the 25th of April. We are starting off with the First Train die set. There are seven dies in this set, including the train engine, caboose and middle car as well as train crossing signs and wheel covers. This set is so cute for any baby card don't you think? Just leave your comment on this post and I will be back at noon with the next post. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh my goodness what a way to start this blog launch, this die set is a must for all crafters, you very rarely see these sorts of dies, so this will be at the top of everyones list to purchase. Look at the detail on the dies themselves, yes you have done it again. I do hope you get lots more followers too.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
It's been an age since you shared the first baby dies and these look like they'll be a massive success. You missed out on the pandemic lockdown hanki-pankie new borns tho lol. Looking forward to the next surprise dies today. Love to all xxx
Awwww.... How CUTE!! Really adorable train full of details, and love also so much all the critters inside! I haven't so much baby themed items, so this launch seems perfect to me :) Thanks for another interesting release and for the chance to win a GREAT prize!
Good morning Sue, Wow what a beautiful collection of dies, the train bringing news of a new born. Looking forward to seeing all your other exciting dies in the collection. Yvonne xx
Good Morning Sue. What at a way to start a new launch. Such a lovely card. And just in time as we are going to be GREAT GRANDPARENTS very soon ... in July. And IT'S A BOY. So yes I will be needing this one. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us in the next few days. Good luck with the new launch Sue and Thankyou. 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

Hi Sue. What a great way to start the new launch. I am guessing that some of the little animals that you designed a few years back would fit into the little carriages.
