Hi bloggers! I have got an announcement to make first off. Creative Expressions has just put out the call for 2012 design team members. Here is a link to the website page that has all the details if you are interested. http://blog.creative-expressions.uk.com/2012/08/2012-creative-expressions-design-team.htmlAs for today's card, another non traditionally styled Christmas card. I started with some music script background paper (that I found in Florida) and I cut the holly accent border out of the left side of it. I used the negative pieces to create my background by mounting both pieces of it on mounting foam and attaching it over a piece of black glitter card. You may think you are looking at the border cut out of black glitter card, but it is actually a sort of faux canal type card, with the glitter card being in the background. I cut the holiday ornament from 2010 in the largest size, then skipped a size and used the next one for the centre cut, creating a frame. I embossed the ornament with a mask (circles, I think)while it was still in the die and inked it slightly with antique linen distress ink. I stamped my sentiment and embossed in gold on black card. I mounted it below my ornament. I added a black silky crush double bow to the top of the ornament with a gold button centre. I added some black rhinestone swirls to the side and bottom tip of my ornament. I only pierced the two sides this time (you don't always have to do all four sides, you know!) Don't forget about the design team call now. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, I like the concept of this card and in these colours it would make an ideal "male" card, but so easily adapted to different colours too for a more tradiitional Christmas card.
Good morning Sue. A different card for Christmas and simply stunning. x
Hi Sue.
Would love the card in more traditional colours. A really nice card to add to the Christmas cllection.
Evis.
like the design of this card
Love the colour xxx
I love the composition of this card, would use greens (perhaps, even though the black is striking)
Hi Sue, it must be colours that draw me to a card more than the design. I love this one as I do most f your cards.
Wilma
Good Morning Sue,

Gorgeous card Sue xx
Sue,
Every day is an inspired one as a result of your creative thoughts, ideas, and jazzy cards. This one is lovely. Cheers
Morning Sue, This card is so beautiful, I love the way how you use the negative, I would never have thought to use the waste, and it is so effective, especially with black glitter card underneath. I love it. Hope you are recovering from your jetlag. Lots of love from Patricia xx
Love it Sue once again.I definitely enjoy your non-traditinal cards the best.they are more my cup of tea than cutsey cards. Keep up the good work,take care,x
Gorgeous card, love the colours.

Very elegant

GM Sue, I absolutely love the manuscript paper - it sets off the whole thing for me. Althought I am not a fan of dark, black x-mas cards I really like this one - I think its cos there's more cream than black. I have these dies so will give it a go. As for design team - one day maybe! but not just yet - I am still very much a learner having only started card making in January 2012 - I have learnt alot and so far have not bought a single card this year. I had the foresight to photograph my efforts from day one to keep as a record- its amazing to see how your style and techniques used develops in such a short space of time.

WOW Sue,your card looks stunning and very elegant.I just love your cards!Everytime i see them though my wish list gets bigger!!!!
Have a great day,kelly.
Beautiful card i love it!
morning Sue from Burgundy
although it's a 'non trad' design I really like the finished product.
Although I am well into my C.cards this will certainly be a design for one of them.
Janet x
Good morning Sue
I love today's card especially the backing paper it's fabulous. I had an e mail from Creative Expressions about design team, I have a good way to go before I would think I was suitable, but it states that you must have your own up and running blog. Who knows some day, maybe I should make it my goal (then I can justify needing more dies) lol
Hugs x
Morning Sue,
Love the design of the card and the music script paper is great. Not the usual Christmas colours but it works for me.
Have a good day.

Hello Sue

Von
Hello,

Good luck to all who try out for the DT.

Morning Sue, Love this card I have a bit of a thing for using paper with music on at Christmas time dont know why.....:)Hugs xx
very good male card,love it

Hello Sue, This card is stunning, I am loving your non taditional Christmas cards. I have these dies so will be having a play. The music script paper is gorgeous, bought a music script stamp last week, but would not have thought I could use it for a card like this.
Have a great day every one.
Hugs June xx
I love including musical script on cards and this non-traditional Christmas card looks fantastic.
Another lovely Christmas Card Sue love it just right for that special person
Elaine H X
Morning Sue lovely card really like the non christmas look to this xmas card. xx hazel
Lovely card, fab die. Hugs,moni
I like the concept very much but as I am a traditionalist about Christmas, will probably use more traditional colours.
Morning Sue,
Love this card, very stylish. X
Wow love the card and the colours.
I think this is a stunning design. I really must get the holly motifs & accents, they're lovely. Pat x
Stunning card Sue, love the backing paper and different colours
This is another lovely shaped die. Very elegant card again. Thank you Sue.
Morning Sue, another lovely creation with gorgeous backing paper! x
Good morning Sue. This is my type of card - that background paper is just yummy. Good idea for a deeper frame to miss a size. Thank you for a lovely card. xx
Hi Sue
I really like this card. I like the black although would probably prefer more "traditional" colours personally. I do have all of these dies and also some script card/paper so will probably give this one a go. I have to say that you are so inspirational to a lot of us - thank you.
This is a lovely design Sue - so adaptable for any colourway. Love your backing paper and of course my favourite holly border!! I shall definitely be using the bauble die this Christmas - although I haven't started any cards yet - oops.
Hugs Sue P xxx
LOVELY CARD SUE MUST TRY THIS ONE
I do like this, and finally managed to get the 2010 ornaments last week. I still need the holly, which I've been resisting, but is so beautiful I shall have to succumb to the temptation to buy it!
Thank you, Sue

morning Sue,
Another lovely Christmas card. So different it really stands out from the crowd.
Erica x
A very elegant card which I will have to try. I Love all the new dies and must try to get a couple to add to my stash.
Carole N x
Hi Sue, definitely more contemporary than traditional; a lovely card but not my choice for Christmas colours. As with other comments I think the design would be good in other colours.
Frances
Hi Sue,
Very different but I really like it, thank you x
This is a very different christmascard Sue, but really beautiful. I really like it a lot.
Good morning Sue
Wow you have done it yet again what a super card love the colours. I have these dies so will be trying this out in your colours and perhaps some blues.
Margaret
A great design but not too sure about the colours for Christmas.
love the card Sue i think the colour are beautiful and a great difference to the usual christmas cards xx gail
Hi Sue
Love the card and idea of these cards as you showed us similar last year and i did a few with the large snow flake but keep these coming as i have lots of Xmas cards to make for family members and like to give each one a different card LOL!
Thank you
Lizzie (serial copycat)xox
Morning Sue, This is another lovely design, I like the colours and it would do very nicely for a man.
Love Rosemarie xx
Hello Sue,
Another stunning card, these colours really work and using the negative side of the die is just brilliant especilly when you have the lovely glow of the black glitter coming through, the music script is lovely (I would want to keep it in my stash - just to look at)!!!
Have a good day, Love Bren
Hi Sue, I love your use of the negative. I now feel so inspired to cut out my dies more carefully placed, leaving a decent border. Love this card, but still not sure about black Christmas. Hugs, Carol S.xx
Hi Sue
Amazing card Sue as always!
Sarah x
Hi Sue
This card is stunning so elegant and a really nice choice of colours I love it.
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Hi Sue as always something different that looks beautiful.
A beautiful elegant card, Sue. I think that the height and depth of your photographs is quite visible, incidentally. If I had a covetous nature I would be jealous of your music paper as it is I can admire it with a good heart. (polishes halo!) Thank you for another wonderful inspiration. (I need it as i have flooding!)Vee xx ps I hope you brought some Sue Wilson dies in your carry on as I missed them last show as they sold out while I was at a hospital visit. xx
Another gorgeous card Sue, I like non traditional. Good luck to all who try for design team, would love to have given it a go, but dont have a blog.

Hi Sue. Another lovely card!! The only thing I am not so keen on are the colours you have used. (Just personal preference.) I love the layout of the card and that is a fab bow!! Have a nice day love Tres x x x
I do like that faux canal idea - and the musical background paper is gorgeous.
I am thinking the same as many more crafters, that the design is brilliant but the colours are not those we associate with Christmas.
Welcome back Sue. Looking forward to seeing you on C&C soon.
Margaret O
Yet another beautiful card Sue. Love it.
Love this card Sue and have most of the things need - so will have to have a go at this one. Also love yesterday's card, always a difficult subject. Thanks xx

This is a great christmas card for any male relatives/friends. I like this card a lot. Sonia x
Stunning card!
I love the music paper and the negative border :)
Very nice Christmas card although I would probably prefer to see it in reds and greens. The rhinestone swirl really adds interest to it.
Stunning Sue! I have a thing for music paper and whenever I see it on a card it reminds me to use mine! Loving how you have created the channel with the holly die too.
Hugs
Linda xxx

Hi Sue - I am not a lover of black cards for Xmas (more of a traditionalist! red and green), must admit the design of this one has really taken my eye and will attempt to emulate in red and green!
ValC
Hi Sue another WOW from me just amazing as always hugs Lynda
Hi Sue, making your demo cards without any traditional papers available has been a triumph, I really like these alternative colours but the embelishments are traditional.

Hi Sue, Im getting into the swing with the Christmas cards now, I love today, the colours are striking, I love when you go for something unique rather than traditional (which I find a bit tired), thank you for inspiring us daily Helen O xxx
Hi Sue, this is a really great card - everything goes together so well, the music paper, the holly border, the ornament die and your wonderful bow and swirls, together with one of my favourite sentiments it's just perfect!
Sue x
Gorgeous card, like the colours and love the negative effect.
Good evening Sue
I love this card, every element, composition etc! I feel it would lend itself to a variety of colours though I do like this colour combo!
Enjoy the rest of your evening... though I think by this time you may have gone to bed already...I couldn't get internet access earlier.. sooo frustrating!
Take care

Hi Sue, this is such a classy card. In black it's different to the normal Christmassy colors but stylish none the less. I love how the black side border looks positive rather than the negative that it is, deceiving the eye! Gosh, how rich would this look in red......! (I'm off again!) & few other colors too....! Nice idea of using the music sheet paper too. xx Love Karen xx
elegant card! beautiful as always :)
This is the one I have been waiting for after seeing it on Create and Craft. This is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous!!

Hi Sue, I just love this card so much - but I don't have those dies!! Not even sure if I could do something similar with a substitute - I will have to have a think mmm... Love Sam xxx
Sue
What a wonderful Christmas card, so easy but looks so much harder, will be having a try at this one.
Hugs xx
You do pick up some yummy paper/card in Florida Sue. Bet your suitcase weighs more coming back than going!!!
Love the whole design and execution of this card.
Quick question - do you have to have access to Facebook? or are weekly posts on an active blog sufficient?
Thanks, Buttons x
hi Sue
what a cracker (pardon the pun).Wonderful Christmas card. The bow makes this card.Smashing music paper.
Just got back off hol and bought some flower stamps (rubber on wood) . When i took the sale stickers off they are creative expressions lol . Made my day. Got for half price too. Anyone near Cabury Garden Centre, Somerset, well worth a drop in. £40 worth of goods for £14.99. So i stocked up, not that my craft room needs it.lol
