Card number two is a bit more subtle. I used some French Navy card and embossed it with the Couture Creations folder called A Magical Time. Once embossed, I used some Brushed Pewter Distress stain on a piece of cut 'n dry foam to lightly run the top of the embossing to bring out the wording a bit more. I stamped the Snowflake Labels Seven by Justrite on to Vintage silver card using a Clear Perfect Medium pad. I heat embossed it with Silver Shine detail powder for a tone on tone look and cut it out with the matching die. I stamped the smaller stamp in the set on coconut white card and embossed it in silver and cut it out as my sentiment. I mounted the two together with foam and placed them on the lower portion of my background. I cut two differing sizes of my Faux Quilled Blooms in white and added them to my card, including a pearl for the centres. The upper corner of the background is adorned with a pearl star/snowflake. I finished the card with some matting and layering using silver and white and a pierced white layer to frame it up nicely. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 8 1/4". Whether your personal taste runs more towards the flashier card on top or this more traditional number, I hope you will find something that you like in the post. All for now, Sue x

Physio going well, have to see GP tonight to get swelling checked.

Hope everyone is feeling stronger today and have a good day. Steph you really do sound so much better.
Hugs all round, Sandra, keep fighting girl, I know sometimes you just get so tired and want to give up. Xx
Hi Sue and all the crew!!
We are really being spoiled with a Christmas double!!am loving the snowflake and snowflake label. I think number 1 is my preferred card.
Sandra Keep strong your such a lovely person, we are all wishing you well...
Pam, you are such an inspiration too. the updates on Robbie are just amazing, he certainly is brave young man...
Hugs to those who need and hope you find a little magic in the day.

Morning Sue, Pam and all Wilsonettes, oh lovely 2 for the price of 1 today, I love both of the cards today, but as to my favourite well I really can't make up my mind so they are both equal. I especially like the way you have done the sentiment focal element in the 2nd card, you can't beat a bit of embossing to bring it out can you, and on the first I love the way the petal die is used with the red flowers, stunning. I am trying to get my hubby to take me to Ally Pally, I have a mobility scooter so it is not easy for me to get anywhere but he is not being persuaded. Pam hope the Dr. says the swelling is getting better, hugs to Robbie. Anyway have a great day everyone. hugs, Keep safe, healthy and happy, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue,
Love both of them, in their different ways. Thank God we don't have to pick a favourite!
Hugs, Rose
Oooh a two-fer today, Sue, like them both but think prefer the softness of the second one and love the pearly snowflake. Didn't see y.day's video until late and have got used to the big chop now!!
'P' in Wales
It's a 'Big 0' for me today - one that you definitely don't want to get to, but nevertheless thankful to see! Himself had his birthday this week - we have four days of being the same age, but then he reverts to toy boy again. Not celebrators as no family around, but I do have two cardmaker cousins who always send fabulous creations, always eagerly anticipated and a lot to live up to!
Morning Sue, two fabulous cards, love them both but think if I had to chose it would be the first one. Love Jean xxx
I love bth cards, the secon slightly edging into the lead for me, and if I am honest would prefer slightly fewer of the beautiful roses on the first, but I am sur I am in the minority xx
Both cards are great, but it think number one is slightly ahead for me.
Lovely Christmas cards Sue,my favorite is number 1. Thanks for sharing.xx
Hi Sue
Two stunning card today. How lucky are we. I love both cards but the second is my favourite. Hugs yo all in need today.
Special hugs to Mrs B and Sandra.
I must read back the posts yo see what you have been ipad yo Sandra. Seems like you were having a down time. Looks like you need some cheering up. No birds have pooped on Pete yet, and he's not going in the pool.
See you both on the 20th.
Morning Sue.
Thank you. Both cards are just as lovely as each other, would not like to choose. Take care all and have a good weekend.Kitty.

Two lovely christmas cards & ideas for us all. My favourite has to be the second card on colour alone-I love blue!
Michele.
Both cards are lovely, but to me the Christmas bough ( which I gave in to ,and sent for yesterday ) card you made is just sooo stunning , none can compare! But in saying that I would be extremely happy to recieve a card like either of these!
June, hope you can persuade your husband to take you to Ally Pally, would making him a special treat or meal work? ( we do that & it works every time with Mr C ) good luck!
Hugs to all xo

Two lovely cards, but I do like card one, it is very striking and Blue is very Christmassy. Really enjoyed the video yesterday, thank you.

Hi, Sue....two quite different cards today, both beautiful!! I had a fun afternoon, yesterday, making roses with my new filigree rose dies. They are so pretty! And so easy to make, following your video. Thank you, Sue! Jo xx

Morning Sue. Nice to see too really different cards today based on the same theme. I think my preferred card is no.2. Have a lovely weekend. Thanks for sharing. Hugs Heather.x
I love the first one with the snowflakes, I love snowflakes, and that pop of red for the flowers sets it off perfectly. Stunning! x
Morning Sue. You are spoiling us with two beautiful cards but i am not complaining the more the merrier lol. Can't pick a fav as they are both on par with each other. Love the pop of red on the first and the pearl snowflake on the second one is stunning. Have a great weekend.

A double gift and what a treat this morning. I have to admit to liking the more traditional gift but can see that the kraft/red/white gift can be used for other occasions by just changing the background.
P in Wales - A HAPPY BIRTHDAY have a lovely day. The numbers don't count but if they have to just do what my Wonderful Mr.E does he has stayed at 29 and some months for donkey years. So much so that he has to stop and think when his 'real life' age is needed.
Sandra - Stay strong - you're such a determined young lady. Are your two wonderful girls off back to school this next week? Am all unpacked and sorted so just have to set too now and start C.cards in ernest.
So it's Friday (and no beautiful market or pastries) in site. Just normal housework - oh how I hate that word. I just need one of those wonderful 'Dobbies' from Harry Potter and I promise to care for him but not clothe him!!!
Hope everyone is looking forward to the week-end and feeling somewhat fitter. Take care and stay safe. See you tomorrow.
Janet x
Hi Sue,
I love the Kraft card with the white embossing and I love the embossed background on the blue card.
Thank you for sharing.

2 gorgeous cards today, the bottom one is my fave
Good morning Sue hope you are well. Today's cards are wonderful. I love the colours of them the first one is really different and I love the roses they are stunning and go so well with the craft card.
And the second one is equally as nice but my favourite one is the first one. So take care and I'll be back tomorrow.
Debs A xxx
Good morning Sue,,
Great cards although I feel the roses are a bit too much on the first one. Just my opinion.
I really love the second one, great colour and design.
Have a wonderful day

Good Morning Sue & lovely blog friends,
Two lovely cards today Sue, you are spoiling us! I am not sure which is my favourite, I think it's the first one.
Wow the skies around here are very noisy this morning, ( we live at BrizeNorton) I think they are practising for a fly past at this NATO Summit in Wales! We aren't used to the really noisy fast jets here, they are almost making my muesli rattle in my bowl!
Trying for a totally positive day today, end the week on a high!
Thanks once more ladies for helping me through the week, Pam big hugs, you have enough on your plate to worry about me, so very thoughtful xxxxx
Big hugs all round,
Sandra xxxx
Hello Sue,
Two more beautiful cards. I don't know how you do it day after day. I can sit at my desk for ages sometimes, waiting for inspiration!

Ginnie x
Good morning Sue. I can't decide which is my favourite card. Blue is not really my colour for Christmas, I am a bit of a traditionalist, but it does look lovely. I love the red roses so I would probably pick that one. Thank you. Xx
Oooh, a twofer! I have to admit that the one with roses appeals to me the most - those flowers look so lifelike until you showed us the close ups.
I just love double days!! Thank you.
Love Nicola x
Hi Sue. Thanks for a two-fer today. Both are lovely, much as I love both I think the 2nd just has the edge for me with the gorgeous snowflake and silver focal element on that lovely blue card.
Sending my daily hugs to you Sue, to Pam and Robbie, to Sandra and Pat-glad that the seagulls are avoiding Pete and the lifeguard hasn't had to use his hook on you : ), to all my other special friends and to all in need. Take care.
Card no. 2 for me, not too sure about no. 1, it doesn,t hit me. Sorry. xxx
Morning Sue, two gorgeous Christmas
cards love both of them but I think
No. 1 is inching forward a bit fo me.
Nancyd xx
Hi Sue, love the cards . love Jean Z xx
Both cards are lively but I think my favourite is Number 2 Only because I'm looking at Number 1 thinking "that'll never survive in the post" As most of my cards are posted height is important Which is the whole point of Christmas cards - they're sent to family & friends you're not able to see (traditionally)
Love both cards for different reasons. The first on is bright and cheerful and made me smile, and the other one is contemporary and elegant, cheerful but more calming.
Hi Sue,
A lovely pair today , what a treat!! Two quite different cards love the first one with its pop of red but I think the second one just easies passed it for me . Thanks Sue xx
Happy birthday "P"" have a lovely day !!

Morning Sue,
I love the design on No 1 but for me the roses are a tad too far, a bit overpowering, mind you that's just my opinion. Great colours and embossed background on the second one.

I must admit to preferring the more traditional card, Sue. It's beautiful.

Two gorgeous cards Sue, can't make up my mind which I like best! Loved yesterday's card too..still having a mega busy time at work so haven't made it to blog land for a few days, hugs Carole ZX
Both cards are lovely - not sure which one I like best
" very different christmascards today, but it´s actually refreshing to see something brand new, and they´re both very beautiful Sue, you´ve done an awesome job here again.
Hope you´ll all have a wonderful week-end nw.
Hi Sue, loving the two cards today, great having ideas to try
Morning Sue, two very different cards for us this morning, I must say I think I prefer No 2, the roses in the first just seem to overwhelm me, but the second is much more me, it's good we are all different though.
Happy '0' birthday P in Wales, I hope you have a lovely day and I'm sure your cards are as eagerly awaited as those sent to you.
Myra, hope you get that table and chairs sorted or you will be eating on the floor!
Janet, I feel for you with no pastries this week, it must be horrible after so many weeks of enjoyment.
Well thanks again for all the good wishes to me, it means so much.
Take care all my friends Lynne, June, Pam, Jackie, Cameeli, Tina, Tres, TOB, Theresa, Maureen, Margaret. Linda, Julie and Lee, Norah, Steph, Mrs B, Mrs Duck, Myra, P in Wales, wheelybad, Sandra, our wonderful Sue and Mom and all those whose names just won't come to me xxxx
2 fab cards but I like the first one best :)
Hi Sue - we are spoilt again with two cards, both of which I really like but the second is my preference - I love the colour of the roses but think I would have preferred poinsettias instead. Best wishes

Hi Sue
Thank you for two super Christmas cards, it's the snowflake card for me!
Happy big 0 birthday to P in Wales

Peaceful day to all

Good morning Sue and everyone
Thank you for spoiling us with a twofer. Have to say, my favourite is the navy one. I'm loving that embossing folder.
Have a great day.

Good morning Sue, two beautiful Christmas cards today. I like the red roses on the first one. Beryl xx
Good morning Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes,
What great inspiration both cards send us Sue. No.1 with the border of red ribbon roses would need to be for someone very special indeed, but the kraft card would need to be changed for something else, perhaps even dare i say black would make it stunning, and Sue you know i would normally go with the fine touch of black. The blue and silver is lovely as well and although i don't have this folder, i could probably use another to gain the same sort of effect. Thank you Sue for some fabulous inspiration again as you just send our minds on a whirl with your beautiful treasures.
Pam flower, just how much damage did you do to that poor ankle that you still have the swelling now? I sincerely hope that you haven't done too much as you have been through so much getting this far. I know being good is boring but please try as we all want you back to full strength again. I ca get the site no problem, it's just finding the elusive Robbie that's the problem. I know he wants to hide from all us old biddies, but i promise not to try mothering him. McCluskey i get nothing, Robbie brings up 16 inc Team Robbie & Robbie's health report to name the 2 likely candidates because the others have names to them. I know, it's me being a bit thick. Try and be good pleasssseeeee.
A big Happy Birthday to both you "P" in Wales and Mr. "P" your toyboy. I still hope that you have/had a lovely birthday day. Does that mean you are 21 again with experience?
Janet(ecco), ha ha, i can just see Mr E. in my minds eye pondering on what his real age is. You know if your treat your Dobbie nicely, he wouldn't want to leave anyway.
Sandra, we had the same when it was up at Gleneagles with the racket that they were making. But it was the damage that all the protesters did to the shops at the retail park, next to their unofficial campsite. They totally wrecked the shops, stealing and all that lot. This was them demostrating about peace which i think was the real irony of the whole lot. The majority of them should have been locked up for vandalism and theft as it was only a few that were actually there for peace. Isn't it amazing how all the stops are pull when the President and other leaders set foot on our soil. But i hope that your hi note works for today flower and that you are feeling slighty better than yesterday.
I was stupid yesterday and no wonder i am pooped. I walked along to the lock up along the back lane yesterday because i needed wool and it was in the lock up. By the time i got back i was so sore and tired but knew that i needed to hoover, dust and other things before hubby came in. i think by the time i had finished everything i was about finished also. I also knitted the front of 1 cardigan, the sleeves of another and started a tammie, and i wonder why i can't see straight or think straight today, idiot that i am but i just wanted to show hubby that i can do things( still hoping for him to take me on a holiday,ha ha ha).
Sending hugs to Robbie, Leo and Sam and to all the fabulous people here,
Love and crafty hugs

Hello Sue, Ooooh you are spoiling us today, they are both gorgeous, love the snowflake and the snowflake label and the roses are scrummy, love them both. Enjoy the rest of your day.

'morning Sue Two lovely cards that even I could manage!! Thanks as always Mabex
Good morning Sue, and all the ladies,
Well I like both cards, but number 2 just squeezes into first place. The six red roses overwhelm card no. 1 for me.
My very best wishes to Pam (I'm going to attempt to log on to Robbie's blog, Sanddra, Lindsay M, Yorkielass June, Alimecca Alison, Norah, "P" in Wales Many Happy Returns on your '0' birthday, have a lovely day, and love to so many of the other lovely ladies.
Have as good a day as you can.
Thank you Sue xx
We are so lucky today getting two cards.Love them both but my favourite is number one-but look at them as one for her and one for him!
Hi Sue. Two lovely cards, I just can't decide which I like the best. SueL x
Two cards today, both of them beautiful as always. You give us so much inspiration.
I particularly like the second card because of the blue, white and silver colour combination. It's simple but stunning.
Hi Sue, Two beautiful cards it's difficult to say which I like best.
I have loved every one of Christmas designs you've given us so far and I just want to own all of your dies! I'm starting a wish list.
Have a good day, Love Brenda xxx
Maria A, I had a lovely day yesterday at the creative craft show at Sandown Park. Managed to add it to my Sue Wilson collection of dies, dying to play but have shopping to do, maybe later - hopefully, possibly!
Sandra, stay strong, you have come a long way and you know we are all here for you, LOL
Janet, you made me smile saying you are six days older than Mr E. One of our daughters fixed her wedding date the day before her birthday as she is nine days older than her husband. She didn't want different ages on their marriage certificate
!
June, Try and persuade Mr S to take you to Ally Pally, you will find plenty of space to get around with your mobility scooter, there are also lots of areas where Mr S can sit down, while you can go off and navigate with ease.
P in Wales, Happy Birthday hope you have a lovely day
Fantastic as always Sue. Xx
Both lovely cards today but number 2 is my favourite.
Hi Sue beautiful twofers today with the first one my favourite I think. It's that snowflake again I must buy it as I say that every time you use it. May use this idea and change roses for poinsettia but would have to be for special people not posted ones me thinks!!! Have a great day love Diane G xxxx
P in Wales happy birthday - 20!!! Fab age :) enjoy your day. Xxxx
Janet oh yes a Dobbie would be wonderful, especially as my daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan! He would have a wonderful time in our house with all the tidying to be done!! Xxx
Hi Sue, beautiful cards. Unconventional yet reflect the festive mood. Thanks for the inspiration.

Helloooo Sue and the Wilsonettes! Whoo hoo! I'm loving these double days already! Both of these cards are just stunning, stunning!

Happy " 0 " birthday P you sound so mature, but at 10 shouldnt you be in school ? Weekend is for craft time ! Have a lovely quiet birthday.
PROUD of you Sandra, keep strong, strong is good xx
It has to be card number 2 for me, simple but elegant (bit like me really) lol - I wish, simple, yup, but the elegant ? Jury out on that one !
I need one of those thingies whatever they are, they sound like they either do magic or housework ? But can they magic my pile of tiny micro beads OUT of the carpet and BACK into their container ? Im going to cry, honest I am. Im going to have to use what sticky self adhesive paper I have to get them up (when I see them inbetween the pile of my cream carpet that is !!! Oh what a mess Im in : (
Love to my ladies that are unwell and not so strong as Sandra today.
Special thoughts to Tina E hope Claire Bear is ok and out of hospital real soon.
Have a wonderful day Sue.

Hi Sue,
Lovely festive designs. The first card would be perfect for a December birthday. It always looks strange when I have both floral/pretty birthday cards up as well as the winter themes of Christmas cards.
Hi Sue. Love these two Christmas cards. Particularly like the first one with the Kraft card, as I love Kraft card :-) Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xx
Hello Sue. I think we are exceptionally lucky to have you to provide inspiration for us. I love the second card with its great embossing folder and simple message. Love the first card too but find the red flowers a bit overpowering. Do like the snowflakes on kraft card though. Wonderful. xx Maggie (better without a bow)
Boy, we are lucky to see two beautiful holiday cards...
They both turned out really nice..
Well done Sue
Hi Sue, love them both but the first one just has the edge for me.

Hope you have a lovely weekend.
Happy Crafting!!! :) X X
Two beautiful cards Sue, my fav is the first one as I love craft card and I love the red roses.
I am going to try and re-create the pine bough card you did as it is gorgeous and will try and make a few for extra special friends.
Hi Sue and everyone! WoW a twofer,they are both absolutely gorgeous Sue however my favourite is the 2nd one because of the great EF. The roses on the first one taking over a bit but close up they are simply lovely.Thank you Sue for all your work. Dobbies ? I've got Dobbies garden centre around the corner where I live but what was it in H.potter ? I'm loving Ally pally but can't go this year,always found it to be more room than at other craft exhibitions so if you can work on your husband I'm sure you both would have a fab. day out,tiring but how lovely to see all the crafting thingies :-) I too need something for my small bits that goes everywhere so have been looking for a desk hoover ( like a little Henry maybe) that would be nice.Hopefully it stop my husband moaning when he found crafty bits all over the bed and floor Tihi Glad you had a nice day Brenda and managed to purchase some new dies,but it's it not difficult to choose which one you "need" to buy next ? Take care Pam,hope all went ok at the doc.wishes to Robbie. HappyBirthday P in Wales and a belated one to your"toyboy"! Warm hugs to my Wilsonette friends,
until tomorrow Take care!

afternoon sue, my you are being good to us, two cards equally as lovely i can't choose between them, thank you for treating us, hopefully two tomorrow as well love to all J
Sue,
Beautiful cards. Love how you did the background on the blue one. So love your quilled collection. Grand job.
Hi Sue,
Lovely Double Christmas! Like them both but first one just has the edge I think. Thank you for all the inspiration. It is so appreciated and so needed!
P in Wales - Happy Birthday - hope you're having a lovely day . You have made me smile and some suggestions about your age have been hilarious! I did like Steph's lecture about being at school!
Norah - sorry you having a bad day . You must take it easier you know - you know these lectures you give Pam - well you take care too, special lady! Sending hugs to you.
Saga over - table and chairs purchased! As Lindsay said we were going to be eating off the floor! Bought one with a clear thick glass top so it should look fairly modern - unlike us!!
Sandra - pleased you seem a happier bunny today! Hope you come to the right decision about your treatment! x
Sending love to everyone including, Sue and Mum, Anne, Lynne, Lindsay, Lynda, Tres - do hope you ok! Sending love to you. , Alison, Janet, TOB, Theresa , WheelyBad - are you ok? , Pam and Robbie, Norah and Rory, June, Heather T, Julie Laz .Frances, Sheila, Brenda L.
Brenda - silly me - I thought you'd gone to The Races yesterday!

Love them both. Like blue with silver at Christmas!
Hi Sue,
2 fabulous C cards today.
Love the design and colour choices on them both.
Super red roses on the first.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Sue
Two lovely cards, the first is my favourite as I'm a sucker for red. Over the years it does seems blue and silver are becoming very popular. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas you give us. Best wishes to all.

Ooh spoilt with two cards today! Thanks for sharing, Susan x
i love white on kraft card. i think it looks classy. the blue card is quietly stunning. i love it. hugs xx
Lovely cards, different idea of snowflakes and roses, but love it like the blue one too but I love anything Xmas, hugs Elaine x
Two beautiful cards. My favourite has to be No 1 though. Love the way the roses stand out against the kraft card

You're spoiling us Sue! Great cards, particularly love the white and kraft one as the colours go so well together.x
I do like the second card on todays blog, very much, but the first one wouldn't be my kind of card at all. I find all those red roses too OTT -and they certainly wouldn't go through the post unless very well wrapped !! Like most of us, i'm looking for designs that will go at the lower postage rates for Christmas this year. Isn't it sad that we have to restrict so many of our cards because of the postal prices.
Hugs Janet in Kent
Hi Sue, you certainly are giving us some unusual Christmas cards and spoiling us today with two for us to enjoy. The first one jumps up and demands attention doesn't it. I've never thought of using kraft card for Christmas cards but I have to say I love the way the snowflakes look on it.
The second one has won the day for me, the embossing is just superb and I love that shade of blue. As always, thanks for sharing with us. x
Hi Sue,
Two very different cards but I think it's the second one for me. The roses on the first one are a bit too much for me I'm afraid. My favourite card so far has to be the one with the pine bough though ,I was so inspired by it that I just had to buy the die!
Sorry this is just a quick visit. Haven't even read through the comments yet. The only one I noticed was Pam - the craft shop in Durham, is really a lovely stall in the indoor market, but Susan who runs it has really done a good job & has demo days by Creative Expressions, Crafters Companions and had a bloke from Spellbinders last year but I can't remember his name. Very reasonably priced too! Sorry that I haven't had time to read the comments from everyone but this decorating is taking over. I promise I'll try harder tomorrow as I'm having the day off. Need to go to see my aunt and then chill out I think. Love to everyone Alison xxxx
Hi Sue & Wilsonettes WOW two gorgeous cards I love the fist, craft card I love & the stamping & then the beautiful red roses delishous then the second one also gorgeous in a different way love the Embossing folder the lovely blue card & the hi light on the embossing thank you love them both. Love & Hugs to you Sue & Your lovely Mom.

Good evening Sue,
A little late for me I know but better late than never I say. Todays two-fer cards are fabulous. I know it's rude to pick favourites but I just have to go for No.1. Stunning! Thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day. It's off to bed for me.

Hi sue and crafty crew
Loving both the cards. Wasn't keen on the roses tho (sorry) but love the colour it certainly pops on the craft card. Really like that navy card. I went for navy and white on my cards last year everyone loved them. Might do craft card this year it looks a little different
Love to all xx
Beautiful cards, love the snowflakes.
2 cards today for inspiration!Love the first card. I never would have thought to use the Kraft color. The white snowflakes really stand out.
Hi, Sue thanks for two very different cards. I like the snowflake card best. I have this stamp, but have yet to use it.
Made four birthday cards and one anniversary card in August. Need to make hubby's anniversary card next and then need to concentrate on C Cards.
Have a good weekend everyone and hugs to all ((( )))

Two lovely cards to brighten Friday. I want that snowflake stamp!
Hope you had a happy big birthday P in Wales.
My new dies and embossing folder from birthday vouchers arrived today so maybe I'll get a chance to have a quick play with them on Saturday. Lots of birthday cards to make before I can start on C cards in earnest.
Take care everyone.
What stunning cards, I especially love the red and white one as I make my own roses with fabric/ribbon and I love making them so much a have a massive box of them in various colours textured ribbons and widths/sizes, I even did a video tutorial for everyone (a request)as they wanted to be able to make them themselves so I posted it on fb and yt, and that's the only reason why I do my tutorials to help at least one person that particular day, I love these cards they are so 'clean and crisp' looking, hugs, Vick xx
