No time to Blog so a Giveaway instead!

Hi Bloggers.

I'm knee deep in prep for my Hochanda shows next week. I haven't had time to make a card for today so I thought you might like a Giveaway instead.

So, I have the Spellbinders Shining Star Die D-Lite to giveway to 2 lucky winners!

These dies are not in their original packaging but will come on a piece of Magnetic Sheet.

Here's a simple card I made with this die -


You can read how this card was made in this post.

Leave a comment below to go into the draw and I will draw 2 winners when I get back from Ally Pally on Sunday evening.

By the way - Freebie Friday Card from last week has not yet been claimed.

All for now.

    Hello Julia

    I so love this die it is gorgeous and how kind of you to offer it. I don't think people would mind if you missed a day don't be too hard on yourself I am sure it is hard to fit everything in when you do so much.

    Looking forward tot he shows on Hochanda we are doing well with our favourite crafters.

    What a great gesture Julia, to give away a die. you must be worn out with all your prepping for Ally Pally, Hochanda, your work shops and demo days, not including the running of your web site and online store and of course your lovely daily blog, take care and try to give yourself a little me time, legs up and a nice cup of tea, lol.

    Morning Julia, so looking forward to seeing you on Hochanda, been watching Phill yesterday and will see some of today's, I am really enjoying these programmes very informative and great tips. I, like everyone else, would love to win one of these dies, I don't have this one in my collection, (don't tell anyone but I have over 1500 dies and counting).

    Enjoy Wednesday, stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Hi Julia, what a lovely gesture giving away a die instead of a card. Such a pretty die too, as shown by the card. Wish I could see you in Ally Pally, would be much better than recovering from surgery! At least I'll be able to watch you on Hochanda. Try to take a break occasionally so you don't burn out; it sounds like you need to, lol. Love and hugs,

    Good afternoon Julia,
    You say you didn't have time to post and yet you have done a beautiful card, contempery in design and colour but so soft and gentle in the soft aqua blue and white. Thank you for giving out inspiration on the die and for the giveaway. I hope that you and Sue have a great time at AP as i know that there are a few people coming to get excited once more at meeting our "Stars".
    love and crafty hugs
