Hello crafters! We are down to our penultimate (I love that word!) Christmas double day for the year! First up is a pretty
Christmas Shadow Box card. I think this may even be my personal favourite of all the shadow box samples I made. There is just something so clean and refreshing about it. I cut the shadow box die in milk card and added mounting foam to the back of it. I embossed another piece of milk card with the
Twinkle Twinkle embossing folder and added the die cut over it. I used gold and silver card to cut the small ornaments for the upper box and used paint pens to add the tops to each of them before adding them with mounting foam. I cut the mittens out of kraft card and added a tiny bit of colour to the edge and used a white pencil as a highlight. For the long vertical box, I cut the stocking in red and green. I added mounting foam to the backs and then a top of
Iced Snow on each of them to look like fur. I cut the
Rustic Twig wreath out of kraft card and added it to the back of the largest opening. I cut the tree, setting in against the wreath and then decorated it with ornaments, presents and trim in gold, silver, and red. I used the
Stitched Lattice Frames to add an
Antique Gold frame around the card. The card was completed with gold and milk mats. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. Scroll down for card number two
Card number two is a simple angel card. I started with a piece of
French Navy card and used
Pixie powders on it. I tapped the
Midnight Blue and Rich Gold Pixie Powders across it and spritzed it with water. I allowed it to dry then cut it with the
Starry Night Background, giving it the look of celestial heavens. I backed it with white and added a frame cut from the
Double Pierced Noble Rectangles in white card. I cut the
Christmas 2016 Angel out of coconut white and then used the die to emboss an impression on another piece of white card. I used the embossed piece to cut around the impression to create a backing piece for her. I glued the backing onto the cut out angel and added mounting foam to the back. I mounted her in the lower corner opposite the sun rays. I completed the card with white and French Navy mats. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous cards Sue , beautiful. Love both but no 2 for me today.
ReplyDeleteTina, thank you for popping in to let us know how you are. All our thoughts and prayers are with you, during these sad days, and also the family too.
Tracey, I hope you had a lovely bath and straight to bed, you have had a traumatic time and now working full time is bound to tire you.
Elaine, I hope Andrew is feeling more comfortable and the rash is easing.
June, so good to hear you had a good Christmas meal with the craft club family.
Tina, hope Peter has been able to find something to eat and drink that he can keep down. Nothing worse than feeling hungry when you are like that.
Barbara had a lovely last morning with us. The team collection was spent on Yankee Candles, large jars in her fragrant fragrances, and my personal gift to her was a glass shade to fit the top of the jars. She loved her card and also the Christmas card and 6oth birthday card I made for her for January.
My hugs to all poorly missing friends and all in the blog.
I love your shadow box dies and have them all. Also have all the other dies you've used today. Love both the cards.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting.

Mornings Sue, two gorgeous cards love them both.
ReplyDeleteNancyd xx
Dont know how you have managed it but these are my go to dies for this year and none of my cards are like yours Sue, these are gorgeous. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you both cards are equally as nice no they are beautiful.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Two lovely cards I've not used shadow box dies,maybe after Christmas
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and crafters all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for two beautiful cards today!!!
My favourite is the first one, just love the shadow boxes. I am currently making three of these in colours that match the recipients xmas trees 🌲.
Pam you sound as though you had a lovely day with Barbara yesterday, the leaving gifts sound lovely.
June Smith - hope the knees are ok, you are excercisng them as per physio's instructions.
Nanna Tina - I hope you are ok and your family giving you lots of love ❤️ and support.
Peter was a lot brighter yesterday, Found his beloved Coca Cola in little glass bottles as he says doesn't taste the same in plastic ones. He ate better and the anti- sickness tablets seem to be kicking in at last.
Love and crafty hugs to all.

Good morning Sue. I can't believe we're almost at the end of the Christmas double days! Two fabulous cards but I find the shadow boxes so versatile that it has to be my favourite today.
ReplyDeletePam, glad that Barbara enjoyed her last day and I'm sure that her cards will be treasured forever. Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Good Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteLove shadow box cards but today I think your beautiful angel is my favourite

Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards today.
Have a great day

Good morning Sue. Two fabulous cards. I have made two Shadow box Christmas cards and two more to go. I like these as each can be slightly different and they are such fun to put together.
ReplyDeleteMarion S xx
Morning Sue. Two more lovely cards for us today. The very useful popular shadow box is perfect a lovely idea from you, the second festive card, again it was the background that really took my eye into the card, it's amazing. Can you get it wrong with the pixie powders cuz all I seem to make is a splotch of red gold and silver mess ! It looks nothing like your's, John's or Phill's backgrounds !!! Maybe it's the water spritzer, it sprays a very very fine mist and rarely gets a good soaking to get a good fizz and pop of mica going, it's only a thin water bottle and doesn't hold Mitch water so by the time I've gone back n forth from the bathroom to refill the paper/card is dry lol plus the continuous pumping action really makes my useless stubby little finger upset, maybe i should use my noggin and get a larger better water spray bottle, failing that - the hose 😊
ReplyDeleteI decided after my festive market panic that I wasn't going to put pressure on myself to make cards for those that 'expected' a handmade card. I've made two and that's the lot, so I decided to buy charity cards for Cancer as losing both parents to that evil illness direct from the devil himself, is close to my heart, so why should I feel 'guilty' for not making them when I can offer a tiny amount of help to those that need it more, and let's face it, you never know what's round the corner, so it's so lovely to see your samples and have peace of mind knowing I've not got to make anymore myself and look forward to taking my new shadow box accessories away with us to work on over Xmas as I'm almost certain they will be in my birthday and Xmas gift bag and I'm so excited at seeing them. May treat myself to a tiny little die cutter just for my tiny precious garden, get well, and the other dies for the shadow box collections and I can cut them whilst watching my two have fun on the beach from the warmth of the car lol.
Have a good day Sue, and hope my daily hug to you helps xxx

ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards. I love the shadow box dies. Please may I put out another plea out for a square one sometime in the future! Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day everyone.
Hugs. ☺️
Two stunners Sue. Love them both.
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards, Sue, love the shadow box with all your extra tiny details but have to say no:2 does it for me! Don't usually go for angels, but this fab background and the crispness of the contrast between the blue and white is stunning. Such a shame we're getting to the end of the double days, it's been great.
ReplyDeletePam, Barbara's last day sounded really special - lovely pressies too.
Tracy - let's hope your life looks brighter now, just don't work too hard... easier said than done with the Christmas rush lol.
Nanna Tina, thinking of you and your family. Hope no more hiccups.
Hugs to all.

Good morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today, the shadow box cards always intrigue me. You look at the card & you see beautiful things within, you look again & something catches your eyes, the details however small like the tops of the baubles. The detail that you put into your dies are truly outstanding. Yvonne xx
Two wonderful cards today Sue! Just love the shadow box dies with all the lovely little die cuts in them, this is my favourite card but, WOW!, the background on the angel card is fantastic it really looks like a night sky. Debra x

Love both cards Sue. The decorated tree is fab. I've enjoyed all your Christmas cards this year, they've been a wonderful source of inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAt the local craft shop yesterday I picked up some CE mini stencils. They are brilliant, love the hole punched in the corner to thread them onto a ring, great way to keep them from all together, very clever.

Izzy
Well hello everyone I'm back. Its been a rollercoaster ride lately or seems that way.
ReplyDeleteI have had the occasional sneaky peak when I could and the cards have been stunning especially your Christmas ones Sue, all beautiful as we have come to expect.
Today I love the second card as the ray of light and colours are fab, but I love the shadow box cards generally, such a clever concept.
Well thats all for today and best wishes to everyone. Luv jxxx
Both gorgeous, but as the first is a shadow box it has to be my favourite. Would be a pleasure to make or receive either of these...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Sue.
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards, Sue - the shadow box is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteAnne (Northampton)
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWell what can I say? Both cards are beautiful, and I love the Xmas shadowbox card. You're right, there is something really clean and fresh and just Xmassy about it. BUT the second card has blown me away, such an effective background - celestial heavens. I'm always amazed at those ideas of yours!
Hugs, Rose
Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteLove both cards and really enjoyed paper piecing the Angel even though some bits are fiddly!
Take care everyone!

Two beautiful cards today Sue. I really can't choose between the two. I wasn't sure if the shadow boxes were for me but the more I see of them the more I like them. They really are so versatile - I have put the fashion one on my Christmas list so here's hoping, mind you my Christmas list has lots of your dies on it! Lol! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards this morning
I love your Shadow Box cards as they can be used in so many ways.
The "pixie powdered" background is just perfect for the second card and I love the colours you have used.

Hi Sue - two very different cards and both are amazing. Am loving the different ideas with the shadow box dies, they make such unusual cards. Really looking forward to your shows. Sending best wishes

I love both cards, absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, as usual. I particularly like the angel one - it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sweet Sue, two beautiful cards today the first one is such fun and the second is gorgeous. hugs Shirleyxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo more beautiful cards for us today but I have to admit to falling head over heels in love with the shadow box one! I love all your shadow box cards but this one is just so delightful. I think I need to buy this for next year and then everyone will get the same card from me lol.
It's certainly nothing like Christmas weather down here in my corner of Cornwall and I think it's going to stay mild as well. We've been getting one day with glorious sunshine and clear blue skies then the next day will see it hosing down with rain. Having a dog, a grown cat and a kitten dashing in and out I'm having to lay old towels down on the kitchen floor to mop up all the mud from their paws before they rush into the lounge room and ruin my new carpet...it would be much easier with snow lol. Right now it's dry but there's a strange yellow tinge to the light, so not too sure what mother nature has in store. I think it's a rain day today so I could be in for a soaking, what a good reason to lick myself away in the craft room.
Have a wonderful deregulation Friday everyone.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today, love all your Shadowbox collections and the ray of light die looks fabulous cut out of the pixie powder paper, I'm really going to miss the Christmas Friday twofers

Theresa hope you feel better now the stitches are out
Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone, with extra ones for our missing friends Norah, Wheelybad, Laine and PP

Love them both! xx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue and all,
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to think of you all starting your day as I end mine in the States.
I like the angel card better. Would it look empty if it was without the rays? The better to see the milky pixie way?
After sighing yesterday about how long it was taking for the Pitter Patter animals to cross the ocean, they arrived in my mailbox!
I'm trying to piece that quilt card for my sister in Christmas colors, but I had to stop when my cat came to help. He studied it closely but I don't think he learned anything. When I turned away, he rearranged it to his satisfaction.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Sue,.......yep doesn't seem possible that Christmas is only 1 week away. x
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeletetwo beautiful cards, love Christmas twofer and can't believe they are just about over. I bought the Christmas shadow box collection after seeing this card and had a go at it for my lovely friend who said it is the most beautiful card she has received this year - thank you Sue for the inspiration again. Will be good to follow your notes as well now.
Just a week left and still three cards to make, some long evenings ahead !!!

Hi sue.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Xmas cards. I managed to get that shadow box last week in the saleso will keep it for Xmas cards for next year so I've something different. Out of all the dies this year I've used the cowflake flurry and the aurora star the most.
So versatile to use.
Great inspiration all year round I can't imagine you have crafters block? Lol
Love to all xx
Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteThe first card wins hands down for me I have made all my main cards using these dies and the grandchildren have loved decorating their handmade boxes and bags for their teachers presents with the individual dies.
Some lovely ideas for NEXT year's Christmas cards.

Delightful!
ReplyDeleteWow!!! All the details in your shadow box are just fantastic, great textures and a lot of sparkling!! The second card looks amazing with that background and the fab angel!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue and everyone.
ReplyDeleteOh Sue ,these are two very beautiful cards. Love the shadow box
with the cute little stockings and tree but also like many do,love
the colours you have created behind the gorgeous Angel of this year.
They are all on my wishlist but have to buy them myself as in this
household we only give presents to the little ones and sadly you
can't yourself that when you starting to go grey :-)
Sending my big warm hugs to all wilsonette's and partners.
If you got the bug I wish you better soon so you can celebrate
with family and friends without sneezing and coughing your head
off during the festive season. Take care everyone

Hi Sue, I love both your beautiful cards today. Really getting in to the shadow boxes.
ReplyDeleteLove Val in Spain xxx
Your cards today wonderfully represent scenes and memories of Christmas. Your word "penultimate" sent me to the dictionary. I did not know this word. It is a fine word and I can see why you like it. My Christmas cards this year featured your Christmas Angel 2016. Needing fifty of these lovely angels, I wish you had included an outside die for her. Not feeling I was up to cutting fifty outlines for her, I just changed my design. I cut her out and used her aperture instead of all the outline cutting. I backed the aperture with double sided sticky sheet and placed the die cut angel back onto the sticky piece, added glitter to her dress and wings, and outlined the glued in angel with a silver pen to give her definition. There was a lot more to the card, but I also accented my final layer with one triple layered vellum poinsettia cut from your poinsettia additions adding a dazzler to the center. I also added vellum cut holly sprigs, your die, under the poinsettias. One special lady friend Judy got an angel with a detached wing, glittered on acetate and an extra vellum poinsettia. I was very pleased with my finished card. Thank you for your lovely dies.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue.
ReplyDeleteTwo Lovely Cards again. The first is a winner because it is a shadow box and I love how it is decorated. The second card for me is a winner because of the background. Thanks for sharing.
Best wishes

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards today, but No. 2 is just perfect for the Season.
Donita, you made me laugh out loud reading about your cat's antics!
Pam, sounds as though Barbara had a lovely morning and was treated royally by you all with lovely presents and a fab card.
Theresa, did you mean to glitter your plaster, or are you like me and spread it here, there and everywhere?!!
Maria, it's great to see you. I hope you had a lovely time at the old homestead!!
Tina, thinking about you and the family.
Also thinking of Elaine and Andrew, Tina & Peter, June S, PP and Laine.

Spectacular cards Sue I particularly love the miniature ornaments on the Christmas tree. x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, two very different styles but both are equally lovely. The shadow box card made me buy the die set :-) and I love the variety you can get with it. Your beautiful angel on her celestial sky is heavenly. Such a shame we are nearly at the end of the Christmas inspiration but we do have you and your programmes over the week-end to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteDonita - cats would have us believe that they are much more artistic than we are and are always only too willing to show us where we have gone wrong lol
Frances
Love these 2 cards, but especially like the shadow box card, gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love them both so much. I these dies and they will be center stage for next Christmas. I made one shadow box for myself! I love it so much its staying on my mantel as I had already sent out our cards this year.I did use some of the pieces to decorate gift card holders.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the way Angel 2016 looks on this card...almost didn't recognize her. I did make a number of cards using the striplet angel with the ray die this year. I loved them too.The background on your card is lovely.
Everyone have a great weekend. Very cold here. I am staying in and crafting...brrrr!

ReplyDeleteI love the first one as its right up my street with the shadow box and all the little elements that go with it.
Two very pretty cards, despite my lack of any religious inclination, I like the second one more and would be happy to send this to my Christian friends who would certainly appreciate such a lovely card.
