Four Panel Window

Hi crafters! I would like to welcome all of you back to the blog after having closed it down a year ago this month.  I will be posting on it regularly, but I cannot say just yet whether it will be every single day like before.  It depends on if I have enough cards to do so.  For now, however, we are moving forward.  Jamie has kindly allowed me to continue the tradition of giving away one set of all the dies in this release.  As we did previously, it will be based on a drawing made from all the comments in all the posts.  Please be sure to make your name memorable so there is no question as to who the winner is.  Please add either a surname or initial, perhaps add the city you live in or just use a funny alias.  If you see another name in the comments that matches yours, then you need to add something distinguishable to your name. I will announce the winner on Jan. 23rd.

The next two days will be for the first release of 2026 and I will be starting with the Four Panel Window die.  This is the die that the entire release is based upon as we have designed it to be used with all seasons.  It can also be used to look into the house or outward from the house, showing its versatility.  If you like the idea of creating beautiful window cards, then add your comment to this post.  You can add one comment to every post during the launch to get the most entries into the drawing.  If you have never put a comment on the blog, there are diretions on how to do it on the right hand side of my blog.  The second post will be along at noon today, hope to see you back here then!  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, lovely to have your blog back. Beautiful card using that versatile die. I haven't made a card since you stopped your blog so maybe it is time for me to get back in the swing of things. Love Jean from Corsham xxx

Hi Sue

Welcome Back!!! Great to have your blog up and running again. Although I have to admit I got the date wrong! I thought it was starting on Sunday, which is why I am so late! Sorry.
Lovely to see a new collection too and this first die will be so useful for lots of different ideas. Looking forward to the rest of the launch.

Love Helen xxx

June Smith said...

Good morning Sue, oh I have so missed your daily blog, and to see you back is the best thing that has happened to me this year. I had my handbag stollen on the 10th January and am still trying to come to terms with it, it is a nightmare trying to get new bank cards/ blue badge/bus pass, so many sentimental things as well in it. But looking on the bright side you are back. I became a great grandmother in May and he is adorable. Now to this die, well you know you are the Queen of these dies, with so many other dies in the collection to compliment it. Big hugs, June Smith xxxx

It is good to see you back This die has so many variations because like you say it doesn’t have to be a window but a panel die too

Hi Sue and all
Imagine my delight when I checked my e mails this morning (not checked them for a few days), and have the wonderful news that our beloved Particraft is back with us. You have certainly come back with a beautiful bang! I cannot promise I will be able to comment all the time but will do my best. Please don’t put my name in the draw. My card making days are on hold indefinitely.
Your new release is wonderful. There is something for everyone here. Take care all x

Ann Topp said...

Congratulations on becoming great grandparents again.

Welcome back Sue & all Wilsonettes! This is the first piece of good news I have had so far this year. It’s been a terrible start but this has brought a smile to my face. This die is really a staple, so versatile as it can be used all year including Christmas. I’m sure this will be yet another successful launch.
