Festive Greeting Card
Hi bloggers! The Poinsettia and Holly Gemini die makes a beautiful card in no time at all! Great for those batch cards, but still with a real wow factor to it!
The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Lovely card, it's gorgeous. I love all of this one. Well just finished two full days of intensive training at work, I only work 6 hours per day so they already owe me over a day now. Have to admit I struggled with it but so did the rest if the team and they are years younger do it can't be an age thing. Elaine, if anyone deserves to sit under a sunshade sipping homemade lemonade, it is your Andrew, all joy to him, hope he does it again today . Tina how are things with the Carers, has it been sorted out. Hugs to you and Mick. Tracey, what a fab idea to join a crafting class, go for it, it will do you the world of good. I wish we had one close to me. Wheelybad, Yvonne, Lorraine, and all who are not well, a nice comforting blanket of caring is wrapped around you. Thinking of missing friends, Norah, hope you are okay, Cheryl too.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, IK remember seeing this video when it went onto You tube and loved it then, it really is a beautiful die and card, I love it.
Pam you take some time out for 'me time' it is always stressful when doing training, I used to train people on how to use software on the computer, )'word, excel, powerpoint, and bespoke applications') so I understand where you were coming from.
Elaine how lovely for Andrew sitting with the homemade lemonade, yummy, make the most of this weather because I think it is going to be changing next week.
Tracey, do you have any friends near you who are interested in craft, if so why not invite them to your home to craft with you, or even do what I did.......... when our local craft shop closed their second warehouse, which is where we used to hold our weekly craft group, I looked around and found a local church who let out a largish room to us, it holds about 20 comfortably, we have to get the tables and chairs out each time but I have a wonderful group of ladies who all help, it is an idea if you could do something like this, even if you only held it once a month at first to try it.
Sending lots of hugs to Tina (hope you sorted the carers out), Wheelybad, Yvonne, Lorraine and all who need them.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
WOW Sue now that's what you call an outstanding festive card, one that will out shine any shop bought expensive manufactured greeting card. I only have the gift card stocking die from this year's collection but it's time to add to the list ready for the annual marathon for market. I'm so way behind now with my whole collection this year with no hope at all at ever catching up ! Oh well never been a millionaire and never will be so may as well come to terms that I will never own every single die you release, such is life. Andy off to look after our little Lottie today so mummy & daddy can have a nice relaxing spa day together before mummy has to return to work. Unfortunately Lottie is so full of cold and without my immune system it could turn into more than a cold should I get it, so he's really looking forward to his day with his princess. Will send you my usual hugs Sue, enjoy your day xx
Good Morning Sue Love it! I think after seeing this beautiful card I need more Dies ! lol Hot night again, so sleep is not an option, I thought the rain would lower the temperature but no, at least we don't have the fires of California, poor families! Have a wonderful day everyone! Love Marg
GM Sue. This is a stunning card. Really love it. Will watch video later. I am still not ready to make Christmas cards yet but I have bought my first present for hubby.
Good morning Sue and crafters all, Beautiful Christmas card!!!! I to saw it on YouTube and thought how fantastic it looked with two different designs so I bought it along with the other design in the festive collection. Would look great all white and sugared!!!! Love and crafty hugs, Tina T xxxxx

Lovely card, great video and thank you again. Pam - hey, roll on the weekend and leisure time! Yvonne - pleased the party turn went well hope you're recovering! Lorraine and Barbara Macaskill - well wishes. Hugs for missing friends.
Hi Sue, what a stunning card you have created today. You can almost touch and feel those ivy leaves and the poinsettia. Have a lovely day....Love Rosie from Chorley....xxxx
Hi Sue WOWEE a very beautiful Christmas card i love it all , but what are you doing to me mate ? i need more dies now and really need to win the lottery with my die list forever growing.
Pam the weekend will soon be here so you can rest hopefully.
Tracey i do a little craft Group for two hours there are only 4/5 of us but we have a good laugh and a natter 3 of us are card makers the other two bring in knitting or crochet and Adult colouring books as well , it gives me something to look forward to i love it .
Thinking of Tina, Wheelybad and Lorraine.
I had to go to the DR on Monday the back of my leg above the Ankle was so painful to the touch, red and hot , the Doctor gave me some cream and told me to sit with the leg propped up she wants to see me again on Fri 26th. When i stand the pain is really awful and it seems to be spreading up to just under the knee , i have never had pain like it , it seems to spring out in all directions if you know what i mean ? Oh well i will keep resting and hope the cream works its magic and SOON.

Hi Sue, a stunning card and a great design, I love it. The Gemini die is on my wishlist (along with an awful lot of others lol) and I hope to get it very soon.
Yvonne - happy that the anniversary party went well but sorry that it wiped you out, you will need to build up your strength if you are still going to have a face-to-face with Laine!
Elaine - hope the cream does the trick but do keep that leg up as much as you can.
Oh my, another reminder to get a move on with my Christmas batch cards. What a stunner of a card Sue, so bright and cheerful and a beautiful Holly die, I must put this one on my wish list.
Hi Pam, I am here, lol. I've just had three weeks off nattering, shopping and sightseeing with visiting family and friends and no phone, PC or Kindle to disturb us. They stayed firmly at home and turned off. Now it is time to catch up with everyone's news, Sue's lovely cards and that dreaded word housework.
Oh Sue this is a fabulous card, everything about it is gorgeous, the video is so easy to follow so I may have a go at this one, I will have to buy the edger die as I have the others I will make a little change so I am not copying yours, thank you so much Sue for your continued inspiration, hugs to all Johanna

Beautiful Christmas card. I plan to use this Poinsettia and Holly Gemini die and the Poinsettia dies on my Christmas cards this year. Thanks for the helpful video.
Beautiful card. Like the Greetings die, ideal for those who don't celebrate Christmas but who enjoy the seasonal break. Another to add to my birthday wish list, it gets longer by the day.
Hi Sue What a gorgeous card today, how did I overlook that Gemini die!! I'm sat in the garden in the shade ( Suns too hot) and I'm getting excited about a Christmas card! How mad is that! Haha. Thank you for sharing. Love Diane G xxx Sending hugs to Elaine and Andrew Tina and Mick and Tracey . Xxx Pam just one day left and it's the weekend - don't you love training days! Xxx
Hello Sue This card is just perfect I love it. I have had a lovely day met up with friends who I haven't seen for 14 years. Elaine really worried about your leg don't wait until next Friday to see doctor if it is getting worse you need to go back asap.
Wow, a beautiful card, apt for the season, but me, not into that yet...not whilst it is so hot, but will remember it for inspiration later....thank you Sue....luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue. What a lovely traditional Christmas Card but not done in the traditional way. It looks as though a few more dies are going to find their way onto my shopping list.
Good evening Sue and all your crafty crew Oh wow wow wow. What a stunner I totally love everything about it Sue I'm off to watch the video now and to check out the dies you have used I ain't got those. Lol Hugs to all that may need them And I hope that every one that is not well feels better soon Love Theresa G xx
Hello Sue, It was a lovely surprise today to see such a beautiful Christmas card. I really like the Holly Striplet - predictive text made it the hilly striplet!! It would be as useful as the snowflake one was last year! I loved it too. Thanks Sue! Love to everyone. Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather as much as possible. Myra xx
Evening Sue Beautiful. Not watched the video yet but can't wait to see how you created this masterpiece. It's gorgeous. So festive and I know that this would be such a treat for anyone to receive. Thanks Sue x Well I have a confession. I am in love. No not the DJ from Saturday evening. I am completely and utterly head over heels in love with the pixie powders. Oh my goodness they are absolutely stunning and dazzling and I got so excited playing with them and watching them burst into life like a magnificent firework display. I need to get all the colours and I am hoping that there are more colours in the cosmic shimmer pipeline x P - the party was great and I am recovering at a slow but steady pace. I have another 25 years to recover before the 50th anniversary party x Frances - I had forgotten about her!! Gosh yes, I'm going to need a lot of energy for that escapade aren't I. Hopefully I will be back on form so I can keep Laine in line x Lorraine - so sorry to hear you've been so under the weather. Sending huggles x Tracy - would you believe I'm sort of jealous of your grey hair. You have missed out the having to colour your hair over and over as you spot more grey hairs growing at a rapid rate. Bet it is classy and fabulous. Hugs x Laine - hope you're OK hun. I know you were feeling really tired when I spoke to you so hope you are feeling a bit more human. You need to get a wiggle on and sort out your travel schedule for your stay - not long now. Speak soon hun x So sorry I'm not up to date with everyone. I am having to take things slowly so that my brain cell doesn't overload x Hope everyone has been enjoying the Olympics. So exciting. Could barely contain myself Tuesday evening when the cycling was restarted twice - the suspense was unbelievable x Sending love to Tina, Elaine, Maria, Wheely and now my mind has gone blank. Lots of love to everyone especially my bantering blog buddies - you know who you are x Take care Happy thoughts Crafty hugs Yvonne x
Hi Sue Today's card is spectacular I love it! I have the holy Gemini die it was the first I bought from this years Christmas collection. Sending healing thoughts to all who need them

Hi Sue
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning christmas card love the colours and the dies thank you tracyw x
What a stunner, Sue! That's the kind of card I would send a special person in my life I think. It looks like I need to rush and get the dies so that I can make one in time to send this year lol.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone is doing well today. Gentle hugs to anyone not feeling too bright right now and sending healing thoughts to all.
It's a bit of a dull morning here in east Cornwall but the weather men have promised it will clear up by lunch..yeah, right...heard that one before haven't we lol.
Happy crafting Thursday everyone.

Hi Sue, a stunning card and a great design, I love it. The Gemini die is on my wishlist (along with an awful lot of others lol) and I hope to get it very soon.
ReplyDeleteYvonne - happy that the anniversary party went well but sorry that it wiped you out, you will need to build up your strength if you are still going to have a face-to-face with Laine!
Elaine - hope the cream does the trick but do keep that leg up as much as you can.
Frances

What a stunner of a card Sue, so bright and cheerful and a beautiful Holly die, I must put this one on my wish list.
Hi Pam, I am here, lol. I've just had three weeks off nattering, shopping and sightseeing with visiting family and friends and no phone, PC or Kindle to disturb us. They stayed firmly at home and turned off.
Now it is time to catch up with everyone's news, Sue's lovely cards and that dreaded word housework.

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteThis card is just perfect I love it. I have had a lovely day met up with friends who I haven't seen for 14 years. Elaine really worried about your leg don't wait until next Friday to see doctor if it is getting worse you need to go back asap.
Wow, a beautiful card, apt for the season, but me, not into that yet...not whilst it is so hot, but will remember it for inspiration later....thank you Sue....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a lovely traditional Christmas Card but not done in the traditional way. It looks as though a few more dies are going to find their way onto my shopping list.

WOW Love this card Sue, I love traditional Christmas, and although I promised not to buy any more seasonal dies, I might have to break that promise.xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely surprise today to see such a beautiful Christmas card. I really like the Holly Striplet - predictive text made it the hilly striplet!!
It would be as useful as the snowflake one was last year! I loved it too. Thanks Sue!
Love to everyone. Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather as much as possible.
Myra xx
Christmas!!! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteEvening Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Not watched the video yet but can't wait to see how you created this masterpiece. It's gorgeous. So festive and I know that this would be such a treat for anyone to receive. Thanks Sue x
Well I have a confession. I am in love. No not the DJ from Saturday evening. I am completely and utterly head over heels in love with the pixie powders. Oh my goodness they are absolutely stunning and dazzling and I got so excited playing with them and watching them burst into life like a magnificent firework display. I need to get all the colours and I am hoping that there are more colours in the cosmic shimmer pipeline x
P - the party was great and I am recovering at a slow but steady pace. I have another 25 years to recover before the 50th anniversary party x
Frances - I had forgotten about her!! Gosh yes, I'm going to need a lot of energy for that escapade aren't I. Hopefully I will be back on form so I can keep Laine in line x
Lorraine - so sorry to hear you've been so under the weather. Sending huggles x
Tracy - would you believe I'm sort of jealous of your grey hair. You have missed out the having to colour your hair over and over as you spot more grey hairs growing at a rapid rate. Bet it is classy and fabulous. Hugs x
Laine - hope you're OK hun. I know you were feeling really tired when I spoke to you so hope you are feeling a bit more human. You need to get a wiggle on and sort out your travel schedule for your stay - not long now. Speak soon hun x
So sorry I'm not up to date with everyone. I am having to take things slowly so that my brain cell doesn't overload x
Hope everyone has been enjoying the Olympics. So exciting. Could barely contain myself Tuesday evening when the cycling was restarted twice - the suspense was unbelievable x
Sending love to Tina, Elaine, Maria, Wheely and now my mind has gone blank. Lots of love to everyone especially my bantering blog buddies - you know who you are x
Take care
Happy thoughts
Crafty hugs
