Good afternoon Sue,
Another stunning card Sue made with a beautiful die. I hope that the details of this beautiful card will be one that you are going to share with us soon. Clever way of thinking with the 2nd die just for the embossing thus giving two looks for whatever you are making it for.
Thank you Sue,
Love and crafty hugs

Love this Christmas Tree die particularly the embossed piece that really finishes the image off.
Stunning card and would look fantastic in different colors as well.
Cheers and thanks
Trina Millin
Oh Sue, how on earth are we going to decide which dies to go for, this one is stunning, so beautiful. It makes such a difference seeing it made up as a card than just looking at the packaging ! My wish list is getting longer and longer. Going to check out your later blogs now. hugs, Linda
Loving these Christmas dies, thank you sue xx Janet k
The embossed section really sets this die above the many available a clever design and a beautiful card
Hugs Kate xx
Just beautiful
Gorgeous tree die, & a great idea to have the embossing die as well
Hi Sue,
What a beautiful card! I just love the embossed light around the star. How very talented you are. I have a tree which I bought last year but it never really cuts cleanly no matter how hard I try. Whereas all your dies cut beautifully without wax paper!
It looks as if you have cut several trees and decoupaged them but without sticky pads - just flat? Maybe I'm very wrong but however you've done it - it's a roaring success!
It's not which die/ dies do I like , it's which ones can I live without! Lol!
Love Myra
Hi Sue,
Oh Sue, what can I say, words fail me on this one the tree is outstanding, your attention to detail and knowing what crafters really want is second to none.
Thank you
Lorna D
Hi Sue, a stunning card. The embossed light around the star just gives it the wow factor.
