Hello bloggers! Two easy but showy Christmas cards for you today. First up is the Noel card. I started by embossing a piece of white card with the
Twinkle Twinkle embossing folder for texture. I matted it with a piece of
French Navy card. I cut the
Noel die out of
French Navy card and glued it to a piece of
coconut white card, then sprayed it with adhesive pray and coated it with
Iced Snow. I cut several of the different dies in the
Snowflake sets, layering up the largest ones and adding them to the Noel piece. I matted it in blue and added it to the centre of the card with mounting foam. I cut a few more smaller snowflakes and added them to the background randomly as well as some
pearl snowflakes too. I matted it all with a white blue white mat sequence and added my usual piercing to the top white mat. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
This second card was a quick demo from my Christmas shows to show how easy it is to adjust your embossing folders to suite your projects. This
Holly Frame folder was a bit to large for what I wanted so I embossed it on white card, then cut it about 2/3rds the way down the card. I took out about 2 inches and taped it back together. I added some
white seam binding across the card to cover the cut line and added a messy bow at the side, topped with a
crystal sparkler. I used
enchanted gold gilding wax to bring out the detail of the holly embossing and add an accent to the background. I cut the
Deboss Snowflake die for my focal element and added it to the centre of the card. The
Christmas Tree Greeting die was cut three times and stacked up for dimension, then sprayed with glue and glittered with
Diamond Sprinkles. I glued it into place in the centre of the card and added my extra mats and layers to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

I have just had a look at all your new dies, just brilliant,
I don't know how you do it, but Thank you so very much.
Take care Kitty.
Really lovely cards as usual Sue.
Hi Sue
Two lovely Christmas cards, I was making more poinsettia flowers and cutting Holly sprays ready for my cards hoping to put most together this weekend but I keep changing my mind on design as I'm trying to keep the postal ones flat due to cost.
Happy crafting
Love and hugs to all

Hi Sue. Two beautiful cards, love them both and simply could not choose a favourite. Really like how you've cut a piece out of the EF on the second card and disguised the join.
Molly - pleased that your Dad has sorted out the privacy settings on Facebook for you. Sending healing wishes to Melody and Francis.

Hi Sue two lovely cards today, have the tree die, so this might inspire me to make a start on C cards.
Best Wishes Lilian in Cornwall
Good morning Sue. A double day is a lovely way to round the week off and today's cards are gorgeous. I particularly like the first design, the texture and sparkle are stunning and the way you have shortened the embossed frame on the second is so clever.x
Two beautiful cards again Sue. Have a nice weekend everyone. JJxx
Hi Sue
Two beautiful cards. My favourite is the second one because I just love the sentiment tree die! Thanks for sharing.

Morn8ing Sue and all Wilsonettes, firstly thank you for sharing these two gorgeous cards, I like them both very much, I think your Festive 2015 set of dies has been your best ever. Now I must confess to pre-ordering loads of your new November release dies, I know they won't be here until after 13th but am so excited about them, especially the 'B' sets of the pierced squares and rectangles, oh I am a happy bunny.
Molly I am so pleased that you got the settings done on your system and can now enjoy the blog as much as we do.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
GM Sue. Lovely cards. Like June above I must fess up also! Yes I've pre ordered. Lovely lovely lovely. Can't wait!

Hi Sue
Gosh is it Friday again! Where are the weeks going? Two beautiful cards today both quite classic in design but both delightful. I'm not sure which one is my favourite as both sing to me. Love the embossing folders you have used too. Must get organised with my cards instead of just buying bits and pieces because I like them!
Take care
Love Diane G xxxx
Melody and Frances thinking of you xxxxx
Tracey hope you are ok xxx

don't know enough English for saying how I love your cards! Gorgeous!

Both cards are lovely, but number two is my favourite.
Morning Sue,
Yo have spoilt us today, 2 very different but elegant cards.
Almost finished mine so will keep these in mind for next year.
Molly, I am so pleased to see you back and that Dad has changes your settings for you. The best way to deal with bullies is to walk away, head held high and ignore them. They don't like being ignored but it is what they deserve.
Warm, caring thoughts for Melody, Francis and Tracy and to all in distress or pain.
Love & hugs
Cheryl xxx
Good morning Sue
Two very different cards but both equally as beautiful as each other so once again I couldn't choose. I've seen your new dies and all I can say is WOW!!!!! Of course I want them all lol! I've ordered some already out of my birthday money and can't wait to for them to arrive. You are one brilliant designer and deserve all of your success.
Hugs x
Heather T
Hi Sue. Love both of your beautiful cards today :-) Have a lovely day. Hugs to all xxx
What a lovely surprise, forgot it was Friday, which means a double Sue day! I like both cards but I love the delicacy of the snowflake card so think that would have to be my favourite if I had to choose. I think the Christmas tree word die is perfect for batch cards. Thanks Sue.
Hope Francis comes home today Melody & Molly .
Hope you are OK Tracy??
Morning Sue .What a clever idea you have used with the embossing folder. I cant choose a favourite.Gloria (sidcup) xx
Two gorgeous cards Sue, impossible to pick a favourite. Thank you.Xx
Two more lovely cards, can't decide between them!!!
Doreen x
I love both cards Can't say I've seen these two EMbossing Folders (or if I had I've forgotten all about them) I especially like the look of the Twinkle one because it looks like you could use it all year around
Hi Sue - two more beautiful cards again today and I like both of them for different reasons but I think the first one really does it for me as it is so elegant and I love how you've used the navy card on white. It amazes me to see how many different ideas you come up with by cutting both embossing folders and die shapes and how clever you are at disguising them - thank you for your brilliant ideas. Best wishes

Good morning Sue,

Morning Sue, Two gorgeous cards, I'm loving the holly border embossing folder and how you have adjusted it.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Very pretty. xx
Hi all,
Sue, such beautiful cards today, absolutely fantastic.
Yvonne, yesterday's post made me smile. I hope the fireworks went off ok as it wasn't the best weather.
Aww Molly, I am so glad you are back to commenting on a Wednesday.
Shirley I think I saw you yesterday at the NEC.
Laine, I hope you are feeling brighter today.
Wheely, I hope your neck is better today.
I had a wonderful day at the NEC yesterday, I wore out myself and my purse. My fantastic friend and her lovely daughter took turns pushing me around in the wheelchair. I couldn't have done it without them. I bought a few presents for people and spent so much that some of it will have to be put by for my Christmas present from my hubby. The only Sue Wilson die I managed to get was bought by my friend for my Christmas present. Today I have to sort it all out but of course I am still very tired and achy.
Tracy, I hope you had good news yesterday my dear.
Will leave love and hugs for all xxx
Two very elegant cards today, my favourite is the first one!
Carol
Good Morning Sue, two gorgeous, I actually bought two of your dies yesterday at the NEC, had a fabulous day though when I got home I was shattered so was hubby as the driving is beginning to tire him now hes in his 70s.
I love your second card its a simple design but oh so easy and quick to do and stunning to look at.
hugs Shirleyxxxx
Stunning cards as always Sue xx hazel
Hi Sue,
Keep them coming , those easy (and relatively quick) Xmas cards, which have the added benefit of being absolutely lovely. I can't decide whether it's no.1 or no.2 which I like better.
That Holly embossing frame is sumptuous.
Hugs, Rose
I love the love joy card beautiful.

Two beautiful cards Sue, but no 1 is my favourite, I love everything about it. :) I do wish I knew where you got your inspiration from, how can you keep coming up with so many different ideas all the time? I still haven't made one Christmas card yet, life is being a little difficult right now. Thank you so much for all the tuition you provide us with.

great cards
Hi Sue, two beautiful cards today. I personally prefer the second one, the embossing folder used in the first card is a little overpowering in my opinion. Keep up the good work though, your never ending inspiration is helping my daughter and myself to complete a very long list of cards lol. Love and hugs,
Alison D x
Hi Sue,
Just when I thought that I had finished my Christmas cards.....
I think that the second one is my favourite. The embossing folder on this one is really lovely.

Another great card and such a joy to see.
Damp and horrid here today but off to start my crafting.
Crafty hugs Pen x
Hi Sue, two gorgeous Christmas cards. Can't pick a favourite as they are both so beautiful.
Hi Sue
Two beautiful cards but I do love the sentiment tree, used this for all the cards that have to be posted, it makes such a lovely card all on its own.
Molly glad your dad has sorted out your Facebook security and you comment when you want to.

Hugs and best wishes everyone

Hello Sue, I've been awol for a time but back crafting now. Two beautiful cards and as you say fairly simple but showy cards. X Ros
Morning Sue. Its friday again and two beautiful christmas cards. They are both very elegant and classy. Cant pick a favourite as they are both beautiful in there own right. Have nearly finished my christmas cards just need a couple of special ones. Have a lovely weekend Sue.
Take care everyone.
Best Wishes.
Denise T x
Both cards are gorgeous. The second one just has the edge for me, probablybecause of the gold card.
Good morning Sue and everyone. Another beautiful double helping to brighten up a wet and miserable day weather wise. I love both cards and especially like the tree die which is a must have. Sending warm hugs to you Sue and all your lovely followers. X
Hi Sue,
Two stunning cards to start Friday off......I love the two cards, which makes me think I will have to get a move along with my Christmas card making.
I am still doing other cards, birthday, Get well and sympathy cards. Time is passing fast.
It is so gloomy and wet here today, I hope you and others have a better outlook on the weather
Craft wishes to everyone. Love n hugs from Dorothy Macdonald of Baldockxx
What a treat to have two wonderful cards today. I always love the white on white look, but this one is especially eye catching. I love the snowflake pearls. And I like the way you have used the holly embossing folder. Have a great day all.
Morning Sue, two lovely cards today, I think my favourite is the second one. I really like the way you have adapted the Embossing folder to fit the card.
Wendyx
Another beautiful double day. The 2nd post just edges it for me and the 1st reminds me of something similar from last year with the 'let is snow sentiment die' which I replicated to a well received effect. Both are gorgeous.
I love it when you have 2 cards in one day. It's like being given an extra treat.
I really have been enjoying all the Christmas cards.
Thank you Sue.

I love your cards today and appreciate the tip for down sizing the embossing folder. Note to self. (grin) Jan D., Florida, USA

Thank you for sharing.

Two lovely Christmas cards.
Two great cards today but the first one is my favourite but would be very happy if I received either of these cards.
Hello Sue.
I really like the clean simplicity and colouring of these cards. I like both the embossing folders and colour combinations you have used. I would have to have to choose between them. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes
Hi sue and crafty crew.
What beautiful cards I only wish I had half ur inspiration and passion!! Both cars are just so pretty.
Well ladies and any gents that are lurking lol
I've had a very few emotional days hence why I've not been on will go back later and read of course.
Yesterday I got my pathology results. All the cancer has been removed along with one cancerous lymph node. So I'm very relived to say the least. Anything else that may have travelled will be blitzed by the chemo and radio therapy which will follow. Only downside is the fact that triple negative cancer had a higher rate of coming back within 5 years but I can deal with that should it come again!!
On Monday coming I will go back to Glasgow and have my egg retrieval done as u r aware I'm having fertility stuff done at the moment.
My belly is so uncomfortable but I'm sure it will be worth it when I get the all clear several years down the line.
Anyways I'm always looking forward. And a few more pj days are in order.
I thank u all so much for letting me ramble and for the support uve given me the past few months since I disclosed my horrible news but it's onwards and upwards now!!!
Love to u all plus hugs too xxx
Sue these are both really stunning but I do have a favourite today and that is the second one.
I love the embossed edges and your debossed snowflake die and tree die compliment each other so well.
I really love that one.
2 beautiful cards Sue.

Hi, Sue,
Beautiful cards today, they have brightened up this dull, dreary, windy and rainy day down here in Cornwall. I had to go out in the middle of the rain this morning to pick up yet another new pair of specs - they had to retest after I'd had the 'old' new ones just two weeks as I was feeling sick, dizzy and had raging headaches every time I put them on - I would have much rather have stayed at home in the dry and played with the dog lol.
Anyway, the first card - I love the snow over the sentiment and I've really fallen for the wonderful little pearl snowflakes, very pretty indeed. I love the tree on the second card and the background holly frame is beautiful. How clever Sue to cut it down to the size you wanted your card to be and then hide the join with ribbon.
Molly - welcome back to posting. You are amongst friends here. I'm so glad your dad has made Facebook safe for you and changed your email. Some people over there can be very cruel. They think they can get away with hurting people because no-one knows where they are. They are nothing but cowards! Now you will know that only people you trust will be able to follow you there, which is a good thing.
Melody - Continuing love to your and Francis. He's in the right place until he gets stronger, just tell him from me not to get too comfortable in hospital as the food isn't always too good lol. xx
Sue, as always, thanks so much for sharing your creations with us. Have a great weekend.

Luv
Karen xx
Hi Sue, I love Fridays not the least because it means we get a double dose of gorgeousness. I love both of these cards. I don't recognise either of the embossing folders (have I been sleeping?) research is required :-) Really pleased to see the first card is backed with navy as opposed to black but on balance I think the second one is my favourite.
Tracey - so pleased your results were good and that the surgeons got it all. I am sure you will face whatever else is to come with the same fortitude that you have already shown.
Melody - I hope you were able to get Francis home today, thinking of you all.
Wishing everyone the best possible week-end.
Frances
Hi Sue,
I'm a bit footsore and weary from being at the NEC but we had a lovely day! I have a very special daughter in law!
I love both today's cards and couldn't really choose a favourite .
Tracey - great news! That's lovely!
Mollie - atta girl! Good to have you back.
Love to all,

Tracey, just had to leave another post. Your news is fantastic, I am so pleased for you and your hubby, you richly deserve this happy news. You are one tough brave lady and as you say you can only onward and upward. Glad our support helped you and it won't end .

Hi Sue, I realised today that I have more than enough Christmas cards for this year, thanks to your inspiration.xx
Such a treat, two cards in one day. Had to wait till after work to really take in these brilliant cards. Like them both and have made the first already, slightly different tho. Tomorrow its an attempt at the second. Just right for my craft fair.
Good news for you Tracy, great.
Best wishes to all jx

2 beautiful christmas cards. It gives us the last boost for making the last round of christmas cards before we get started with getting them ready to put in the post. Thanks Sue for all your wonderful ideas.
beautiful cards with great colour combos, hugs xx
Both gorgeous, the top one is my fave, so sparkly
Gorgeous cards!! Love the sparkle on the sentiment. The sentiment die cut on the second one is very nice!
Dear Sue What a pair of fabulous cards love them both and i can't decide which one is my favourite. its a great idea to layer up the sentiments and glittering them .
Good evening lovely Sue and the fabulous Wilsonettes!
Wow! It's Friday again already- the big C will be upon us before we know it....and I am still woefully behind in my card production:-(
Nevermind, I can rely on you Sue to provide me with plenty of extra inspiration and I for one will be sad to see the end of our double dose Fridays when the festive season passes.
Today's fare is typically stunning with the first offering tickling my fancy most...I can't get enough bling in my life! I bought this EF last week and have been looking for a project to use it on...I'll just have to splash out on the Noël die now, or be sensible and use one of my word dies from last year perhaps. I love French navy, it's a chic alternative to black and may suit those who don't care for black at Christmas.
The second beauty reminds me that I have the Deboss snowflake and haven't used it yet!!??!It works remarkably well as a backdrop to the sentiment tree, I would never have thought to use it in this way. So many fab ideas and so little time to utilise them:-0
I'm feeling a touch rough around the edges tonight, had another seizure earlier this morning but didn't have time to ease into the day, instead I had to get ready for a hospital appointment after lunch. I had an ambulance on order which arrived particularly early, leaving me sitting in the waiting room two hours before my appointment:-( Luckily I took my I pad with me just in case, so I passed the time reading some digital magazines. The consultant was very thorough and spent over an hour with me before doing a DNA test to determine whether my 8.5 cholesterol level was hereditary or as a result of other underlying factors- he's concerned at the risks involved after my previous heart attack but given my low weight doesn't want me to alter my diet...ever felt like a ticking time bomb?:-)
So, feeling pretty guilty that I haven't managed to make more of a headway on my Christmas cards. Mr Postie was very generous this morning by bringing me the three wise men striplet and the criss cross mask....though the various texture pastes are still in transit:-(....which means that tomorrow I can finish off a couple of cards that have been waiting for these components.
I have an embarrassing confession to make....I had been secretly hoping that another die release wouldn't be scheduled until after Christmas...call myself a fanatical Sue Wilson devotee?...I know, it's shameful, but my meagre bank balance cannot cope with the strain of Christmas as well as my urge to satisfy my thirst for everything Sue Wilson creates. I have just finished buying the festive collection and I've only made a partial dent in the Sept. Release so what are my bank manager and Mum going to say! I would sell my body but at 43 I'm sadly past my best so my only option is to sell a kidney, would ebay sanction bids on body parts?lol
But seriously, Sue has outdone herself yet again and we are spoilt for choice. Personally, I can't wait to see her own unique interpretation of the dies during her official blog launch:-)
Tracy, in the immortal words of The Krankies 'fandabidozy!' I am so pleased that your results are favourable, that must be a load off your mind. Now you can focus on the next stage of your recovery with your usual gusto! Good luck honey, we're all behind youxxx
Melody, I hope Francis was well enough to return home today, and if not, I hope that he is on the road to recovery and will be with you all soonxxx
Beth, Rebecca, hope you are both okay and just snowed under with life again, hope you will be back with us soonxxx
Yvonne, have you had plenty of rest today in preparation for you pyrotechnic spectacular tomorrow, or have you been cooking up a storm for your guests? Hoping for a clear night, I might be able to catch some of the action:-) I don't envy the choice between your boys proud moment and watching that gorgeous specimen of beefcake Gleb on Strictly....it would be a no brainier for me:-)
Love and hugs everyone

Francis is not doing to good he ain't eating now but still being sick they saying he might have an infection because of the White blood cells, he is really down because he as been working on building himself up to take another test to see if he might be able to have the operation.

Thank each n everyone of you for all your kind wishes for him, Molly writes them all down an reads them to him.Take care Melody xXx
