A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hello bloggers! Welcome back to the blog for the final post of the 2016 Festive Collection blog launch! As they say, all good things must come to an end (sadly), but I hope that you have found some designs that are truly inspiring for you! This post features the Christmas Shadow Box die and the Rustic Twig Wreath set. I have used both of these together in the sample shown to create a stunning shadow box styled card. The boxes in this design have been changed slightly to accommodate a few larger items, but it can easily be used for non Christmas cards as well! The individual pieces can also be used without the Shadow Box foundation too, so there is a lot of versatility here. The Rustic Twig wreath can be used decorated or plain and it is a perfect die for adding a lovely detail touch to your cards. For the last time, I encourage you to leave a comment to be included in the drawing to win either of these sets. You still have time to go back and add comments to any of the posts you may have missed along the way too. I will announce the winners on Monday July 4th in an afternoon post. Don't forget to check back to see if your name is among the winners. I hope you have enjoyed the launch as much as I have! All for now, Sue x
Wow just adore that shadow box, I can see it being a real go-to die, not just at Christmas, love the card you have made, the addition of the wreath is so cute.
Fantastic card! I love the shadow box die , it would be lots of fun to play with for lots of occasions, thank you for sharing your wonderful new collection and giving us the chance to win one of your great dies. Anne xo
Hi Sue, The Shadow box set is a must have I think. The card is fabulous - looks really expensive. Congratulations on another brilliant collection of dies and thank you for giving us the opportunities to win them. Love Alison xx
Love the shadow box and how cute are all the little elements to go in it..and they would also work perfectly with the twiggy wreath...

I love the shadow box die, 22 dies in it though! It must have been a marathon designing that one. It does appear to be extremely useful. Does nothing ever defeat you Sue? :) Paula x (WelshPaula)

Thank you so much Sue. Looking forward to watching your shows now as I wait for my dies to arrive soon . Hugs xx P Austen

Keeping my fingers crossed for when you reveal the winners! Hugs Gilly x

I just love your shadow boxes! How pretty is that card. Puts me in the Christmas spirit!
Hi Love the Shadow Box dies, This one will be on my list for sure. x
beautiful dies! love that twig wreath!!
The shadow box is a most unusual die, but looks so interesting, love your card.
Just like the frame for this one - the twig swirl could be good for mixed media. So can see non-christmas uses for these two.
Dear Sue
