The Striplets Collection

Again, the Striplets Collection is one of our most popular collections of Craft Dies by Sue Wilson, as they provide the opportunity to create some really gorgeous backgrounds and borders.

The Quilt Block Striplet Die has been designed in three sections, with the first and third sections matching. The three sections within the set are perfect for creating unique techniques in your card making projects, such as quilting. Each section can be cut used separately by simply cutting them apart to make 2” squares.

The Regal Striplet Die set is exactly as its name implies! This Die set is a beauty and a welcome addition to the Striplet family. Like all Striplets, it has a separate cutting edge so can be used within a card or can be cut out completely.

Our final reveal will be at 2pm this afternoon, so see you then!

The Gemini Collection

The Gemini Collection was brand new to our range of Craft Dies in the Autumn 2014 release, and have been hugely popular due to their unique choice of several cutting edges which will change the way you add that finishing edge to your crafting projects. Due to its huge popularity, we have added an additional three new Dies to this collection.

The Cygnus Die set has to be cut and admired for its true beauty to be seen. It is lovely and detailed, and cuts like a dream too. It is a
gorgeous set to add to your collection.

The Perseus Die is a dual border Die with beautifully detailed edges on both sides. There is a lattice feature which runs through the centre, and one of the cutting edges has a separate cut out loop to it. This set will be an incredible addition to your Gemini collection.

The Delphinus Die has a stunning floral detail running through it. It is a wider version of the Gemini Die so it has a bold look to it. Perfect as a focal element or for use alongside other elements, this die set is certain to catch your eye.

Make sure you come back tomorrow to check out the final day of big reveals for the Jan/Feb 2015 release, where we will unveil 6 new Finishing Touches Dies, and 2 more Striplets Dies!

The Frames & Tags Collection

The Frames & Tags Collection are absolutely perfect for creating frames and tags for your paper crafting projects!

Smaller in size, the Refined Rectangle Frame Die set can be used in a number of ways. Perfect for a sentiment, this Die can also easily be nipped into for adding small additions where needed, this set is sure to be useful for numerous reasons. The inner cutting Die allows for easy transformation into a frame and the lovely matching tag is perfect for small sentiments.

The Pierced Flags Die set is the perfect Die for your sentiments, complete with beautiful piercing along the edge. One Die in this set has no cutting edge at the back so can easily be made longer by turning it the opposite direction and cutting. There are several sizes to accommodate your needs.

As the name suggests, the Pierced Tags Die set features pierced tags that can easily be used within your projects or can be the project themselves! A reinforced piece has been included as well.

Come back at 2pm to see three new Gemini Dies!

The Caribbean Island Collection

The Caribbean Island Collection is the second of our two country collections and features the Background and Corner, Border & Tags Dies. As with all of the country collections, they have been designed to mix and match with each other to offer a huge variety of options for your paper crafting projects.

The Background Die is an incredibly unique background that has been produced in four parts for greater flexibility and layering techniques. The innermost section is completely debossed for a truly different look, while the outer sections are incredibly intricate to give stunning detail to your projects.

The Border, Accent & Tag features separate cutting edges to allow for even more techniques to be used when crafting!

The Dies within the St Kitts set have been designed to mix and match with each other. Unlike other Dies, it is the inside shapes that remain the same, while the outer edges are all different to give more variety. The inside of the St Kitts Die mirrors the beautiful detail seen in the Background Die.

The St. Lucia Die set is beautiful with an organic feel to it.

The St Barts Die set is more masculine in its feel, while still being able to pull off a softer look as well.

That’s it for today, but tomorrow at 10am we will be unveiling three new Dies to the Frames & Tags Collection.

The Diagonals Collection

The Diagonals Die Collection are similar to Striplet Dies, but are longer and thinner in design, so that you can use them diagonally in your crafting projects.

The Love Hearts Diagonal Die features a central decorative element, and then a separate top and bottom cutting edge that are connected so that they always remain straight. Each Die set comes with a matching thin border, that doesn't have a straight cutting edge so that you can make them as wide as required for your projects. This set has a pretty heart fall away piece that can be used.

The Labyrinth Die set has been designed to go diagonally in the same direction as the Love Hearts Die from the same collection. It has a gorgeous lattice design that just begs for pearls at each intersection. The matching border has a sweet teardrop design to it.

The Lavish Swirls Diagonal Die set goes in the opposite direction to the Love Hearts and Labyrinth Dies in the Diagonal Collection, to allow for a bit of versatility. The design is perfect for all sorts of occasions and is likely to be a real “go to” in your crafting arsenal. The matching border has a lovely cut out scallop pattern.

More to follow at 2pm with the introduction of the new Caribbean Island Collection!

Chocolate by Tracy Heaton

Visit Tracy's blog to find out more on how to make this project!

The Greek Island Collection

As has become tradition with the Craft Dies by Sue Wilson, we always like to include at least a couple of Collections that relate to a country. This release is no different, and the first of the two country collections is The Greek Island Collection!

The Background Die is the first to have a full deboss feature to it. With a full cut lattice centre and a beautiful debossed ivy pattern to the outside edges in opposite corners, you will love the finished results from this Die!

With a matching ivy theme, the CBT Die set is guaranteed to delight. The border is a free form ivy motif, while the tag and corner utilise the same ivy pattern on a smaller scale.

While all the sets within the Greek Island collection will mix and match, the Rhodes, Kefalonia and Santorini Dies in this collection all feature a stunning ivy motif theme that runs throughout this stunning collection of Craft Dies by Sue Wilson.

We will have more to show you tomorrow, so make sure you come back at 10am to see the new Diagonals Collection!

The Expressions Collection

We would like to start today with another brand new collection from the Jan/Feb 2015 release of Craft Dies by Sue Wilson; The Expressions Collection.

The Expressions Collection feature a range of 5 gorgeous popular Expressions Dies for your paper crafting projects.

Vertical in its design, the Hello Die is lovely with a lattice detail to the background. It is in two separate dies so may be cut out of your card or cut out completely for different looks, depending on your needs.

The Love Die has been designed in two parts; the word in a script and a separate cutting edge in the shape of a heart. You can cut the word out of your card if desired or put it into a pretty heart shape for your more romantic projects.

The Thank You Die has been designed within an oval shape; this sentiment can be used as both a focal element or as an addition to your card projects. The Die is in two parts for greater versatility as well.

A fancy word in a fancy style! The Enjoy Die is a single Die because it features so much intricate detail. This Die set can be teamed with the Thank You Die from the Expressions collection, as it fits within the oval Die from the Thank you Die set. There is a pretty flourish off the last letter that allows for use bridging apertures of many shapes.

The Best Wishes Die is a beautifully designed Expressions die.  It will work especially well with projects where you want a more elegant look, such as wedding or anniversary themed cards.  Its stunning delicacy and lovely embossed wording will add so much to any project.









We will be revealing the next collection at 2pm today; The Greek Island Collection....
