Hi guys! I'm not sure if this technically qualifies as a card since there is not a sentiment on it, but I just could not resist layering these beautiful dies up as soon as I got my hands on them. I love this fine filigree type die, right up my alley. Usually when I first get a set of dies to making samples, I cut them all out of white card and keep them in a file so I can just see how they all look together. This set did not make it that far! I layed them on to a piece of red card and that was it, I had to finish putting it together. So I cut one more of the Holly accent pieces so I could have one on either side of the Holly Motif focal element, and locked their little side pieces together. This is another one of those ''holding hands'' type dies. I cut four corner pieces and added them to my unusually shaped rectangular card. It just needed a bit of paper piercing and some pearls for the centres to complete it and give it an elegant statement. Completely traditional and a far cry from some of the unusual Christmas colours of the recently shown cards, but I really like it nonetheless. All for now, Sue x

Oh My Giddy Aunt!!!! Sue!!! WOW!! I am speechless! This card is absolutely amazing. Why havent I seen these dies before?? I must be living under a rock. This card is incredible. The colour is beautiful and the design is spectacular. What more can I say other than WOW! I am not joking but my mouth dropped when I opened your page and saw this. Wow! Lee xx
Mmmmm really like this design simple but elegant haven't got this set but brain already thinking of others that I could use :-) sometimes it is good to leave a card without a sentiment on the front as then card can be used for any occasion by writing your own personal message inside - thanks for sharing Sue

Of course it's a card. you don't have to have a sentiment on it! Absolutely stunning. Love, Julia xxx
My thoughts exactly Julia - who decreed a card must have a sentiment? I often leave mine blank so that I can put my thoughts inside within the message. I think this card is great Sue, thank you
love from Jackie D

Hi Sue
This card is superb and very elegant. I don't think a sentiment is always required especially on such a lovely card.

Hi Sue,
Oh so beautiful and delicate,and every card does not need a sentiment.
Carol x
Hi Sue
Fantastic card. Again you have made something else that i am going to have to try. Hope you don't mind x
Sue
Oh my goodness, this is so gorgeous, and just so me too. I looooooove these different lace dies and I have most of them except these last two new swets, and I use them over and over again.
This card is absolutely stunning, and I sure wouldn´t mind to get one like this, that´s for sure. I love it.
HAve a wonderful week-end and lots of crafting fun.
It doesn't need a sentiment Sue, the card says it all...Christmas!! Stunning...absolutely stunning, Carole x
Absolutely stunning card Sue. I need those dies. The red background just adds to the beauty of the card. TFS Hugs Rita xxxx
It qualifies as a work of art x
Che delicatezza! sembra fatta a "chiacchierino"!
Nice filigree effect - of course you can call it a card!x
I don't think sentiments are mandatory!
Again another stunning card Sue
Sandra x
Another stunning card thanks for the inspiration I now know what I am doing for my Xmas card I have those dies I hope you don't mind if I copy it for my Xmas cards
A very striking card.If others were sitting on a shelf this would be the first one noticed. Beautiful.
Gorgeous card Sue simple but very elegant just how I like them. Thumbs up from me.
Hugs Anne x
Absolutely stunning. I very rarely put sentiments on the front of my cards. I always put them inside.
stunning card - it doesn't need a sentiment! will have to add those dies to the wish list.....
Sue, this definately is a card - with or without a sentiment. It is stunning and proves it can be simple but still very effective. I absolutely love it and I can see myself using this concept in the future.
Elaine x
WOW, need I say more?!
Absolutely stunning Sue! I love cards without sentiments personally and I love red and white together! The "new colors" of Christmas that are so popular right now are fabulous, but given the choice I would probably stick with red and white :) Thanks for sharing this gorgeous creation!
You have excelled yourself Sue!!! So beautiful, elegant and very intricate. I didnt think you could surpass the all white wedding style card that everyone loved but this is my new favourite!!! Have the dies and I am now inspired to use them, thanks Sue!!!!!!!
Love it which set is this please as I now need it!!
I think you could make a really great wallpaper border with this!! Could this be another feather to your bow!!
Oh my Sue
this is THE most stunning card you have made. Just STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hugs Sarah x
Lovely Card Sue..xx
Love the clear lines of this card and as I have the holly set I may be busy tomorrow!!
As the diecuts look so much like snowflakes, it is lovely to see them on red and not blue as traditionally done. Absolutely lovely Sue, thank you. Regards Linda
I am running out of superlatives to comment on your cards! I think it could also not be a christmas card, the intricate ornate design is so neat that I didnt notice the holly leaves there at first
Another stunning card...i never thought to do that with all the pieces we get in a set..i'm going to try that for sure. tfs

TFS.

Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Hi Sue, it is so nice to see what we can actually do with the dies, I take your advice and look at them in different ways, I do not have many but always try and make them work in more than one way. I like the way you matched these up, Lovely. MariaS
What an absolutely gorgeous card - this set of dies has to go on my wishlist!
thats really really nice Sue, its so elegant and yet so simple (not meaning to take away your amazing talent in any way) but you are right, simple white card on a red background - lovely
Great card, soo pretty.
I absolutely love it. My cards rarely have a sentiment, but they do usually have an image since I don't have all those fancy dies.
Wonderful card - I like the ornaments.
Hugs, Uta
