As I am sure my blog family know I started as a stamper and then moved onto Die cutting I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to design my own stamps now I have also had the opportunity to design my own dies. This is something I have always wanted to do so whilst I am a little scared as too whether people will like them I am really proud with my first collection.
There are 6 die sets in the collection 2 large dies that make boxes and more ( which is why I called these 2 dynamic dies) and 4 additions which covers Tags, flowers foliage etc.
The first die is based on the sandwich box I made a few years ago using the spellbinders filigree delight die, this has proved to be the most popular video and post I have ever done. This die set is designed to make the box in an easier manner than all the measuring and scoring I had to do to make the original ( Big thanx go to Jane Smith for the suggestion!!!!)
I would also like to thank June Smith, Mrs Duck and everyone else who had a sneak peak and helped with feedback!
This die will also make cards and other projects so you will be seeing a lot of this over the next few days and weeks.
I will reveal the next large die set at 12pm.
more at 12pm....
Enjoy....
Morning John, well the day has finally arrived when we get to see your new release, and what a superb set of dies it is. The samples and sneek previews we have seen over the past few days have all wetted our appetites, so onwards and upwards ready for 8am when we see the launch on Hochanda. I am privileged and proud to have been asked for my feedback on the prototype sample, I was blown away with it as I am sure everyone else will be. Good luck my friend you deserve it.

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

Hello John,
ReplyDeleteI’m keeping this short as have lost about six so far today already!
Gorgeous Dies, Great Shows, Amazing Tips , Beautiful boxes and cards. I just had to place an Order!!
Love Myra xx
Wooooohoo!! Xx
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteI was very impressed with your new dies and also the great set of stamps and tags which I ordered whilst getting ready for work this morning. I was afraid they would be sold out by the time I got home. This is just what I have been looking for with everything in one set. I am about to watch the show on catch up. Very best wishes Paulz.
Hi John. What a really great idea, especially for people like me who make wedding stationary - can I assume that it is OK to do this with your dies? Unfortunately I missed the shows and also, it appears the chance to order the dies. I will have to wait for them to be re-stocked. I have to work on Thursday and Friday mornings and am doing a ceramics course on Thursday afternoons. I must go and make a comment on your next post.
