Christmas Scene Mini Background

Hello crafters!  This die is the first mini background that I have done and I love the way it turned out!  It has been designed in several sections so that it is truly versatile to use!  Shown here with two of the sections used together (and the Joy sentiment from the 2015 Christmas Angel die set).  It makes a beautiful Christmas scene when used all together, complete with a tiny Santa and sleigh flying across the moon.  I hope that you will love this one as much as I do!  Please let me know what you think of each of the new die releases, your comments count towards the die giveaway as well as giving me some insights into what you like best along the way!  There are still a few more posts to go, so I hope you will be able to stop in again.  The next blog post is scheduled for 2pm today.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue,
YES! I do like this die. And I particularly like the way that the dies offer a recessing option. For someone like me who finds cutting matts to the correct size (and square!), this will create perfect matts/recesses every time. Beautiful. I also like the way the wording fits in perfectly within the circle. Best wishes, Anne O

Unknown said...

Hi Sue and lovely Wilsonettes

Still catching up but I like to read all the comments for each post before I write my own as it is so nice to see what everyone has written.

Love this background Sue and it seems to be as much a winner as every one of your other Christmas dies...and of course very versatile as it includes several dies so able to use them in so many ways...wonder if the village scene can be cut away to make a frosty/snowy night scene with the tress and Santa sleigh and reindeer...oooooohhhh the possibilities now seem endless after seeing the gorgeous card that you have designed...the JOY sentiment is perfect for the centre too.

Thank you Sue for these beautiful cards and dies and for the inspiring these ideas

Love and Hugs to yourself and Wilsonettes Beth B x x x

Sandra Biggs said...

Hi sue

Oh Sue, more reindeer! I'm in Christmas heaven. This set is ingenious. I can see this with all my inky painty backgrounds. I'm really looking forward to getting this one. Hopefully Santa will be kind this year because you keep making my list longer lol.! Xx
Big hug

fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, I had every intention of being back here sharp at noon but my friend's husband came round to help me prune a very overgrown tree and it was a much bigger job than we realised and took us hours! I hope she will forgive me for stealing him for so long :-)
I really like this card & die and although my preference for the cards I send is to have a more religious feel to them I can see my customers loving this one. The village scene will be useful to me outwith Christmas and I am sure I will be able to make use of the centre cutting die.

OH MY-OH MY!! This is an absolute STUNNER. Perhaps beautiful little scenes like this can be a regular with releases going forward? oooh, the wonderful possibilities... it's another FAVORITE! Love how you've incorporated stars in the edging (that could be used for patriotic and graduation cards), and also allowed for the pieces to cut separately for multiple uses! This is such an amazing card in blue and white!

Denise Bryant said...

OK... I think this one has GOT TO BE my favorite! Fabulous details in this awesome die and a gorgeous card!
